Chapter 130: Intramural Ranking Tournament Before the Regional Qualifiers
All schools have welcomed new students.
All schools interested in this year's national competition have high expectations for the new students.
The success of Higa Junior High School last year made all schools understand a truth.
Sometimes the strength of strength really cannot be measured by age, and the absolute difference in talent will erase the decisive difference in age.
Even if there are no terrifying newcomers like Amuro Jin and Kino, it would be nice to have a few newcomers with instant combat power to join.
A few families are happy and a few are sad.
Among the sorrowful ones naturally is Higa National High School.
Sure enough, as Amuro expected, even if they won last year's national tournament at Higa Kunijung, it didn't change the reality that there were no strong newcomers to join this year.
After all, Okinawa is a place that basically doesn't attract students from other places.
And how many talented tennis teenagers can there be in Okinawa?
Even Kide and Aoi Hanamura didn't expect it.
If it weren't for Amuro Jin who brought back Keith and Lin Xiu from abroad last year, then their strength in the country would have been greatly weakened this year.
Amuro knows that.
This year, whether it is Lihai University, Ice Emperor, or Qingxue, there are very strong newcomers to join.
And most of their main combat power last year has also been well preserved.
This is true even for the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple.
Although the president of the company, Heizenyuki, has left for further study, but this year they will also have strong newcomers joining.
Plus the progress of others.
This year, I am afraid that only their schools such as Bijia National High School and Tongmu Zhiteng will fall into a vacuum period of weakening strength.
"It's a real headache."
Amuro Jin is a little nerve-wracking about the future of Higa Kunijun, but at the moment he can only take one step at a time.
2k
......
As Amuro Jin and Kide expected.
Most of the newcomers who flocked to the country came for the name of the winning club in the national competition.
Some of them didn't even play much tennis.
For the seemingly demanding training of the tennis club, these people are naturally difficult to persevere.
It's just over a week later.
Of the original more than 100 freshmen, only twenty or thirty people remained.
However, those who stayed were able to persevere in completing the initial training plan for the tennis club formulated by Aoi Hanamura.
These people were also recognized by Amuro Jin and Kite, and truly became a member of Higa Kunichu Tennis Club.
And these freshmen also fully understood that the reason why Higa Junior High School was able to win the national competition last year was not because of anything else.
It's hard work.
There is no casual success, and behind every success is countless sweats.
......
The time of April is slowly passing.
Soon it came to an end.
This year's first intramural ranking tournament is also about to start at Higa National High School.
For many members, this is a good opportunity to test their strength.
Becoming a full-fledged member has always been their goal.
In the opinion of many people, it is very nice to be able to participate in the next regional qualifiers and open tournaments such as the Okinawa Prefectural Tournament as an official member of the Higa National Tennis Club.
Tomorrow is the day when the tennis club holds an intramural ranking tournament.
Aoi Hanamura and Amuro Jin are making final preparations for tomorrow's grouping.
There is no absolute fairness, and at this time it is the winner who takes all.
Each group of Amuro Jin arranged two regular team members to ensure that there would not be a situation where a group of three regular team members would compete with each other.
Actually, it's not unfair, after all, as long as you have the strength to defeat Pingguba and Kai, you can replace them as an official player.
In the final analysis, strength is paramount.
......
Following.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The tennis club began to become very lively.
In addition to the members of the tennis club, many people who are not tennis clubs came.
After all, this is the first intramural ranking tournament of the Higa Junior High School Tennis Club this year.
The winner will represent Higa in the regional qualifiers.
For many people, such a lively must be put together.
The voluntary participation system of the intramural ranking tournament will be arranged by Amuro Jin and Aoi Hanamura to the list of contestants.
Most of those who did not sign up were first-year freshmen.
They will participate in the intramural ranking tournament as logistics and referees.
The first round of the tournament began quickly.
Amuro didn't ban people from outside the club from watching the game, so this time there were a lot of spectators scattered across the courts.
The number of spectators increases, and the performance of Pingguchang becomes better and better.
"Rice spoon Qian!"
Pingguchang jumped out in one step, and the coat on his body danced in the wind.
The golden streamer circled in mid-air, and even if Pingguba had already left his hand, such a drastic change of the ball was not something his opponent could attack.
Winter!
"At the end of the game, Rin Pinggu won the game, and the score was 6:0."
The first-year interim referee wrote down the score, and then he went to the registration office to present the results of the round to Aoi Hanamura.
"Please! Pingguchang, do you need to be so serious! ”
The third-year member who was the opponent of Pinggu Field complained weakly.
He had thought that the gap between himself and the ancient field would be narrowed.
I never thought it would get bigger and bigger.
"It's senior, you're too inferior."
Pingguba tightened his coat, dropped a sentence and turned to run.
"Damn Pingguba!"
Looking at the back of Pingguchang who fled from the desert, the third-grade seniors could only sigh with admiration.
The first round ended quickly.
All the regular players won their opponents with a score of 6:0.
Their wonderful performance also caused a burst of exclamations from the scene.
Spectators outside the tennis club don't care what the difference in strength is.
They only feel that the official team members are all extraordinary.
Keith, in particular, stands out in the crowd with his blonde hair.
Keith is second only to Amuro in popularity.
Even the wooden hand was crushed by him.
There are two rounds scheduled for today.
After the first round, the second round will start immediately.
The biggest attraction of this round is the showdown between Keith and Pingguchang.
They had faced each other once in doubles, and now they met again in singles.
The only match between the official players and the regular players in the second round will naturally attract a large number of spectators.
"I'm sorry, Senpai Kudo. I'd like to see the game over there, too! ”
Amuro Jin smiled slightly, and his words made Kudo swallow his saliva suddenly.
Kudo knew very well that what Amuro Jin meant by this was probably to quickly settle the game with himself.
......
On the other side of the court, Aoi Hanamura personally appeared as a referee.
After all, Keith and the game at the Bench Stadium make the average first-year person really not be able to keep up with their rhythm.
"The match started, and Rin Pinggu had a service game."
Aoi Hanamura gave an order, and the game officially began.
The opponent is Kispin, so naturally it can't be as easy as the previous game.
For this partner who was brought back from abroad by Amuro, Hirakoba still has a competitive heart.
After all, both sides are doubles reserves in Higa Nationals, and Keith's handsomeness often attracts the attention of others.
Originally, most of the eyes of the group of them would be attracted by Amuro Jin when they walked together, but now most of the remaining shred of attention has fallen on Keith.
Who knows the pain in this.
In order to have a chance to compete with Keith for the only glimmer of attention, Ping Guba even dyed his hair blonde.
His rivalry with Keith is everywhere.
With this in mind, there is destined to be a collision between Pingguba and Keith today.
Peng!
Pingguba did not hesitate to buckle the racket, and the high-speed serve with strong topspin caused a burst of exclamations from many people at the scene.
The third grade, who was defeated by Pingguchang in the last round, touched his forehead helplessly, it turned out that Pingguchang had already been merciful before.
Keith's backhand volley was fast and sharp, and he caught the moment when Pingu's topspin rebounded.
In terms of dynamic vision alone, Keith is undoubtedly superior.
After all, Keith was once evaluated by the coach of the British elite tennis school as having the qualifications to enter the world.
If the normal trend continues, Keith will undoubtedly become a member of the British Under-17 junior group in two years' time.
It's a pity that the injustice of fate made Keith lose this opportunity, but now Keith in the country of Higa is destined to walk out of a different future.
"Rice spoon Qian!"
Pinggu Field moves sideways.
Peng!
The drastic changes looked directly into the eyes of the onlookers.
Keith let his mind go and embrace his own perceptions, which Amuro had taught him.
It's easy to be deceived by locking a tennis ball with the naked eye.
Learn to use other senses to judge the opponent's incoming ball.
And the only people who can do this at the moment are Amuro, Kinote and Keit.
There is also Akai, who has already left.
Keith, who was calm, quickly noticed the air mass that had been struck out in the early part of the ball.
The use of qi was not difficult for the people in the country of Higa to master.
Everyone has mastered the use of qi, but the degree of mastery varies from high to low.
However, except for Amuro Jin, even Kite's mastery of qi is not as skilled as Keislai.
After all, not everyone has a cheat.
Peng!
Keith's return shot sounded a little strange to Pinggu, and he immediately understood that this was probably the style of play of the twins.
Sure enough, before Pinggu's racket touched the tennis ball, he felt as if his racket had hit something.
Before Pingguchang could re-position the racket, another force struck.
"What!"
Counting the real tennis, there are a total of three impacts from different angles, and unexpectedly, Pinggu's counterattack floated directly to the outside of the court.
"Out of bounds, Keith scores, 15-0."
......
"Three stars."
Keith said in a surging voice.
"Three stars!"
Pinguchang raised his eyebrows, and Keith's strength surprised him.
Keith is much stronger now than he was in the original doubles matchup.
Gemini is not scary.
As long as you know the existence of the virtual ball formed by the convergence of qi, it is not difficult to beat the twin stars back.
For a player like Sanada with amazing grip, the twin stars may not be able to disturb Sanada's hitting point at all.
However, the lethality of the three stars is much stronger for ordinary people.
Continuously bombarding the racket with air can easily cause the opponent's hitting point to be disordered.
This is the same principle as the principle of Amuro Jin and others using large explosions to destroy the opponent's best hitting point.
After learning about Keith's progress, Pingguba even raised all his concentration.
Although no matter whether this game is a win or a draw, Guchang is confident that he can keep his position as an official player, but it is quite humiliating to lose the game under the attention of so many people.
"Big Rice Spoon!"
The degree of control over his muscles is also increasing day by day.
His lead swing is getting faster and faster, and the amplitude of his movements is getting smaller and smaller.
Although the rotation of the rice spoon has decreased compared to before, the consumption has also been greatly reduced.
Keith's eyes were constantly locked on the fluttering yellow shadow, and his footsteps swept quickly with the racket in his hand.
Although Keith managed to catch the trajectory of the ball, the point of impact was not so perfect.
The high-tossing curve gave Pinguba a great opportunity.
Pingguchang, who jumped up, buckled hard.
A cloud of golden light instantly exploded in the opposite direction of Keith.
15:15。
The competition in this game was already very fierce, and the members of the same group as Keith in the Peace Ancient Field sighed one after another.
Their dreams of becoming full-fledged members were shattered at this moment.
The winner takes all, and Pinguba and Keith are undoubtedly the kings of their group.
......
Peng!
Peng!
"This game was scored by Rin Pinggu field, and the score was 1:0."
......
Peng!
Peng!
"Keith scored in this game, and the score was 1:1."
......
Peng!
Peng!
"The game was scored by Keith, and the score was 3:3."
......
"Ho! It's a very anxious fight. ”
Soon Amuro finished his game and came to the court where Pingu and Keith matched.
What Amuro didn't expect was that the current situation had actually entered the seventh game.
Although Amuro didn't use too much effort, he felt that he was not slow to finish the match.
I didn't expect the game to go so fast.
In fact, each game between Pinggu and Keith took very little time.
The two sides know each other too well.
Either you don't shoot, and you score as soon as you shoot.
Then Kite, Kai and the others also ended their respective matches and came to Amuro's side.
They were also surprised when they looked at the scoreboard next to Aoi Hanamura.
Apparently there was some surprise in the quick tie between Pingguchang and Keith.
However, after taking a closer look at the two of them, they understood.
Both sides are showing their strongest attacking firepower, and only attacking and not defending will indeed make this game look star-studded.
But the price comes with quick alternate scores.
The final result was also unexpected.
They didn't expect it to be Keith, who defeated Pinggu in the tie-break.
Especially the twin shadows that Keith showed in his final moments.
Aside from Amuro and Kinote, Keith was the third person in Higa to learn this trick.
This made Pingguchang a little unacceptable.
He decided that he would definitely train himself when he went back.
He had to master this trick in the shortest possible time.
