Ryoma followed, looked at his sister who closed her eyes, and said to Tezuka, who was standing aside, "Sister, won't she eat?" ”

"Ah, she spent too much energy during the day today, and she's sleepy now." Tezuka closed the door: "I've left her food, she'll eat it." ”

"Okay." Ryoma was a little disappointed and said: "I don't know if I can have a chance to play today, my sister actually came to watch the game early." ”

"In the end, if the Japanese team wins, it doesn't matter if you play or not." Tezuka comforted, "She's actually just thinking about staying with the members, after all, she hasn't seen her in a few days." ”

"The minister's reassuring method is really not clever, and I continued to eat." Ryoma awkwardly went to the table.

Several coaches laughed on the sidelines, and Coach Hanamura issued a pre-match declaration: "Take advantage of the food that Echizen Riko bought to cheer for the next singles match." ”

"Okay." The team members picked up the drinks in their cups and clinked glasses.

Once you're done refueling, your rest time is coming to an end.

"Would you like to call Rico?" Coach Sakaki looked at the door in the room.

"No need, her energy is too much today, so let's stay a little longer." Keigo Kibe rejected Coach Sakaki's kindness.

Several people leaned together, closed their eyes and rested for dozens of minutes.

Finally, it's time for the game.

The team members walked out one after another, and Tezuka glanced inside the cubicle and walked out as well.

"When he wakes up, he won't know where to look for us?" Traces watched Tezuka walk out.

"It's okay, you'll pick her up later, I'm the coach, I have to watch from the field, and you're already over the game." Tezuka said.

"I'm really convinced." The trace department couldn't help but sigh: "I'm the uncle of the Ice Emperor Academy, you just called me like that." ”

"I've kept you waiting, now let's start the third singles match." The host in the venue started working again: "Kanto Youth Team: Thousand Stone Pure." ”

The audience on the field cheered for the Japanese team, and the United States did make Chigoku's eyes widen when he said a provocative word.

It looks like this game is not easy.

Tezuka looked into the field: Sengoku is going to have a hard time now.

Due to the difference in size and strength between the two sides, the match was one-sided and allowed the United States team to win.

In the rest place of the American team, Kevin Smith couldn't help but get irritated when he looked at the list announced on the spot

"When will we figure it out, how will I be the No. 2 singles now?"

"Kevin, what are you anxious about?" The tall Billy stood by in confusion.

"I've been with me for so long, and I still don't know what I'm upset about." Kevin is very dissatisfied: "I don't know if Echizen Ryoma's appearance order is the first singles." ”

"Don't worry, the strongest will definitely come out in the finale." Billy reassured.

"Also, if we can't beat the strongest in Japan, then there's no point in running all the way around and competing against the odds." The other players chimed in.

In the No. 2 singles match, the Japanese team played Fuji Shusuke, and the opponent's player was nicknamed the tennis machine.

However, Fuji has no desire to win against any opponent, but the stronger the opponent, the better he can play on the court.

The final result was no suspense, no two victories.

The score is now a 2-2 draw between Japan and the United States, and the next players will be the key to the final victory. The players of the Japanese team nervously looked at the names scrolling on the billboards, and finally the name of Akaya Kirihara appeared.

Rico, who was in the lounge, woke up: "How long have I been asleep?" ”

She leaned against the wall and sat up: "I really don't like to go to work, will I miss the games I want to watch?" ”

She took out her mobile phone and called Tezuka: "Where is the game now?" ”

"In the first singles match, I'm going to the coach's seat soon, and I'll let the trace department pick you up." Tezuka hung up the phone after speaking, and shouted that the trace department went to the back hall.

"I wanted to watch the game." Traces reluctantly entered the lounge, and he looked at Rico, who was sitting on the side, and his mood became better: "Awake?" I'm going to push you to the arena to watch the game. ”

He walked over to Rico, restored the bed to a wheelchair shape, secured her seat belt, and pushed her out.

"Who is playing in the No. 1 singles match now?"

"Kirihara Akaya, Ryoma has always been a substitute."

"Oh." Ricle calmly looked at the food in her hand: "Are you hungry, do you want to eat some?" ”

"I'm not a big eater." Jibu looked at the cooled fried food, and was very cold: "I'll treat you later, let's eat something fresh." ”

"Okay." Rico still had the food in her hand, and teased meaninglessly, "It looks like Ryoma is going to be lost." ”

"How do you know he's going to be lost?"

"It's rare to have an opponent who is sent to the door, but he runs away like this."

While talking, the two came to the place where the Japanese team members were standby.

"This guy Kirihara looks like he has a big face." Yanagi Hirushi in the audience couldn't help but sigh.

"Is that Kebin Smith a left-hander?" Nioh looked at the performance on the pitch and analyzed, "This game should be interesting. ”

"One game to decide the winner, cut the original serve." As the referee announced the start of the match, Chiya Kirihara moved quickly.

"Damn, the one standing on the opposite side should obviously be Echizen Ryoma." Kevin Smith was very upset.

Kirihara sent the ball to Kevin's court, and he was very irritable and hit each ball back.

Why am I playing against the person in front of me? Why didn't the other party arrange for Echizen Ryoma to play? This game really doesn't make any sense at all!

"Where are your eyes looking, your opponent is my Chiya Kirihara." Kirihara was very upset by his opponent and attacked first, hitting an irregular ball.

Does this player want to score from me?

"What's going on? It's gone. Kevin ran to the return spot and found that the ball was gone, only to have the ball appear on the other side, and Akaya Kirihara scored directly.

Kirihara Akaya stood there with a serious face: This guy-

"Ah, it's pretty powerful, when did Chi Kirihara learn this trick." Fumita Marui blew the bubble of the gum and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just starting to be a trick." Nioh's look of understanding made Marui very curious.

Nioh then began to tell the story of the formation of Kirihara's move.

"Phantom return ball." Chi Kirihara also said the name of the ball.

"Phantom return ball?" Kevin Smith lost the score because of this trick in a row, which made him very angry.

"I see, Phantom Return Ball routine." Rico's dynamic vision is exceptionally good: "She adds a strong right spin to the ball at the shot and then hits a diagonal shot from the right side of the court. The left-handed player then reflexively runs to the right, ready to catch the ball with his backhand. However, the spin with the ball will bounce to the left as soon as it hits the ground, and the opponent's vision has become narrow, as if he could not see the ball at that moment. ”

Ricle heard a cold snort from the person near the wheelchair, and couldn't help but mock: "What? Have an opinion about me? ”

"No, you have a keen sense of observation." Jibu watched the field with his arms folded.

"Game Akaya Kirihara 1:0." The referee reported the score on the field.

Mr. Nakamura, who was in charge of preparing for the competition, looked at Kevin on the field with a nervous expression: What is he doing, the sponsors are almost finished.

At halftime, the coach couldn't help but reprimand Kevin.

"What's the matter, it's not like you at all, Kevin. If you don't fight well, I'll be in trouble. ”

“Yes boss.” Kevin turned around and left the dugout and returned to the field to exchange venues with Chiya Kirihara: this guy is stronger than he thought.

At this time, Kirihara stopped and put his racket on his shoulder to provoke: "I heard that you are very strong, I wanted to look forward to it, but it turns out that your strength is just like this, it seems that I am still looking forward to it in vain." ”

"What?" Kevin was completely enraged, and Kirihara's words made him angry: Then let me see your true strength.

The two coaches who were sitting under the monitor watching the game couldn't help but laugh, and Coach Hanamura finally understood Coach Sakaki's intentions.

"I finally know the reason why Coach Sakaki chose Akaya Kirihara, hide Ryoma Yuki, who has been carefully studied by the other party, and then use Akaya Kirihara, who is good at dealing with left-handers."

"Nope." Coach Sakaki glanced at Coach Hanamura: "Not only that, but he has both of these qualities, such as the fighting spirit to move forward at all times and the power to link this with victory and defeat." ”

The Lihai Taisho players in the audience were extremely excited, "Then again, it's really hard, this guy Kirihara." "Marui is blowing bubbles again.

"Because Kirihara was aiming for the order of the first singles from the beginning." Nioh explained, "When he heard that the captain of Team USA was left-handed, he was more excited than anyone else. ”

At this time, Kevin's ball was about to fall into Kirihara's court, but Chihara also fought to catch up, salvaging the ball and hitting a phantom return, and Kirihara continued to score.

This made Kevin even more unhappy, and suddenly there was a situation at the scene, and Kirithara Chi was also injured and hit the pillar of the seine net directly.

The referee climbed down from above: "Are you okay?" ”

Only then did Chi Kirihara recover from this, raised his head and said to the referee with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I can still continue to fight, I was suddenly hit just now, and I was a little out of breath." ”

He rubbed his shoulders and got up to pick up the racket that had been knocked off: "I'm fine, you see." ”

The game continued on the field, but Chiya Kirihara never used the phantom return ball again, which made the audience at the scene extremely uncomfortable.

"What is he doing? Wouldn't it be nice to win such a motivated game at once? Kikumaru Eiji was disappointed.

Rico, who was in a wheelchair, saw through everything: "He can't play out happily anymore." ”
