Chapter 130: Making the Finals
"Captain, what should we do? The opponent is Fudomine, who defeated Bing Di."
Matsui Kohki's face was a bit ugly. This was the first time Xiche had made it to the semi-finals. If they could go one step further, they would create the best record since the establishment of the Xiche tennis club.
"Matsui, relax."
Sugisaki Nobuzumi was not in a hurry at all, gently comforting his own club members.
It wasn't that he was confident and had a sure chance of winning.
It was just that they knew their own situation. They were able to get to where they were not because their own strength was outstanding, but simply because they hadn't encountered powerful opponents.
Before the final list was released, he might still have had fantasies.
Hoping that the opponent would be Sei-Shonan, maybe there would really be a chance to make the finals.
After all, no matter what, Sei-Shonan was also Xiche's old rival in Kanagawa Prefecture. Even if the comprehensive strength was higher than Xiche's, it wasn't that they had no chance to fight.
Unfortunately, their good luck seemed to have been used up.
Facing the aggressive ball, Neicun Jingjie did not panic at all.
Although Fudomine wasn't very good before, now, they had defeated Bing Di.
Sugisaki Nobuzumi knew it like a mirror in his heart.
"By Neicun Jingjie and Kise Jing Xing of Fudomine Middle School, against Sugisaki Nobuzumi and Matsui Kohki of Xiche Middle School."
"Please have both players come forward!"
This lineup surprised many people.
"Too happy too early."
The achievement of the Kanto top four was already very remarkable.
Fudomine's new doubles lineup was curious, and the fact that the Xiche captain and vice-captain were both playing was even more surprising.
"Well done!"
After all, if a first-year student has such strength, what about two years later?
The match begins.
"It really scared me..."
"The match begins, Sugisaki Nobuzumi and Matsui Kohki of Xiche Middle School serve."
After the referee's voice sounded, the two sides shook hands at the net, but the relaxed appearance of the Xiche players made Fudomine confused.
The tennis ball carried a trace of strong airflow in the air and attacked Neicun Jingjie's return area rapidly.
Knowing his own outcome, Sugisaki Nobuzumi stopped struggling, lying flat was the kingly way.
"I won't let you score easily!"
Most of the audience in the semi-finals already knew both schools.
Rikkai Dai, Bing Di, Fudomine, Yamabuki, Rokkaku...
As long as they encountered one of them, their Kanto Tournament this time had already come to an end.
Boom!
His left hand shook slightly, the tennis ball suddenly appeared in the air, and Sugisaki Nobuzumi also jumped up suddenly, his tight waist exerted force instantly, rolling his elbows, and slammed the racket heavily toward the tennis ball.
"I'm really sorry...
Although there is a suspicion of bullying the small, Xiche can't lose 3-0 miserably!"
However, he wasn't that unwilling.
His feet moved, stepping directly in front of the tennis ball's flight path.
Boom!
A crisp hitting sound, the tennis ball was drawn by Neicun Jingjie toward the direction of Matsui Kohki of the Xiche duo.
And under his leadership, the Xiche tennis club finally entered the nationals. This is the only one in the scorpion's poop!
Maybe, the juniors who transfer next year will praise his achievements.
"It appeared, Captain Sugisaki's Sky-Spin Ball!"
If it were in Xiche, that would be an absolute main player, and it would be impossible to let them form a doubles pair.
"Next, the doubles No. 2 match is about to begin."
After the previous match, he found that the strength of these two first-year students was completely different from what he had imagined.
The Xiche captain's eyes changed slightly.
Sure enough, as expected of the Xiche vice-captain, Matsui Kohki blocked the racket forward, and intercepted this tricky chasing draw ball.
Tap, tap!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Neither side gave way, and the first point lasted for more than ten rallies.
The tennis ball carried a violent backspin and attacked the baseline corner of the return area.
Boom!
A cyan racket appeared suddenly, Kise Jing Xing steadily covered the tennis ball with the racket face, exerted force to scoop it upward, and a large-angle high ball fell toward the backcourt baseline.
It's just that even if they lose, they have to lose beautifully!
No, so confident?
They almost reached the Kanto level, and it could even be said that they were already standing at the threshold, only that one last kick away.
"Next, the second round of the Kanto Tournament is about to begin, between Fudomine Middle School of Tokyo and Xiche Middle School of Kanagawa Prefecture."
Sugisaki Nobuzumi in the backcourt tapped the tennis ball twice, his eyes brightly looking at Neicun Jingjie, who was wearing a black baseball cap.
Sugisaki Nobuzumi's eyes narrowed, scanning the bouncing yellow ball shadow.
"Unfortunately, potential is ultimately potential."
No matter what, I have Kanto-level strength. Do you really think Xiche made it to the semi-finals purely by luck?
Swish!
Two feet took a step back, knees half-bent.
Then with his right foot as the axis, his body turned fiercely, and the racket used the power of the body's rotation, slashing violently toward the tennis ball.
Boom!
A heavy muffled sound, this straight draw shot pulled a golden light in the sky above the court, with amazing momentum.
"Game, Xiche Middle School, Sugisaki Nobuzumi, Matsui Kohki, 1-0."
The referee announced the score of the first game. Neicun Jingjie looked at the eye-catching white mark on the ground, his pupils shrinking slightly.
"What a powerful draw shot!"
Kise Jing Xing's expression had no fluctuations, he walked straight to the side of the court to prepare for the change of court, and said coldly when passing Neicun Jingjie.
"Listen to my command from now on."
"Yes."
Hearing the cold voice, Neicun Jingjie was not angry. He was already used to Kise Jing Xing's personality.
Anyway, it wasn't aimed at him. This guy was the same to everyone.
As long as his tactics could effectively improve doubles strength, even if he formed a doubles pair with this ice-cold face, Neicun Jingjie didn't care.
The match continues.
It was Fudomine's turn to serve.
Neicun Jingjie glanced, only to see Kise Jing Xing's right foot move slightly.
Swish!
Without hesitation, the tennis ball flew straight into mid-air, and the racket swung down heavily.
While Matsui Kohki was still thinking about where the tennis ball would hit.
Boom!
A golden light flew rapidly from the opposite side, precisely hitting the outside corner of the return area, and bounced high.
Slap!
Matsui Kohki was shocked, rushing up in a panic, his racket stretched to the limit, only then hitting the tennis ball back to the opposite side.
"So dangerous~"
After finally receiving this dangerous ball, he hadn't had time to wipe a cold sweat.
Boom!
Kise Jing Xing appeared in front of the net rapidly, his arm vibrated, and the tennis ball bypassed the direction of the Xiche captain and attacked Matsui Kohki's position straight.
"15-0."
Boom!
"30-0."
Boom!
In Sugisaki Nobuzumi's surprised gaze, the tennis ball passed through the gap between the two Xiche players again.
"Game, Fudomine Middle School, Neicun Jingjie, Kise Jing Xing, 1-1."
Boom!
"Game, Fudomine Middle School, Neicun Jingjie, Kise Jing Xing, 2-1."
"This is... what's going on?"
Matsui Kohki's face was exceptionally ugly.
Clearly, the strength of these two first-year students should be inferior to theirs, but from the second game, the match completely fell into a one-sided situation.
Boom!
A tennis ball with not-so-fast speed fell into the court, while both Xiche players were in very far positions, and could only watch the tennis ball fly out of bounds, helpless.
"It's like this again!"
The Xiche captain's pressure increased greatly, and the same scene didn't know how many times it had appeared.
An indescribable sense of weirdness, they seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, and every step was taken according to the wishes of the Fudomine duo.
Outside the court.
"These two are cooperating better than expected."
Yuuki Satoru watched the performance on the court silently.
Changing players before the battle is a taboo, and changing the lineup temporarily before the match is also very risky.
However, with the change of the match level, the original combination had begun to fail to keep up with the rhythm.
Mori Tatsunori is a very good auxiliary player.
With his cooperation, Neicun Jingjie can play his own advantages well and become a cold-blooded net killer on the court.
Neicun Jingjie fights at the net, Mori Tatsunori saves the fire in the backcourt, this kind of nurse-style healing play was indeed invincible in the Du Da Sai.
Unfortunately, now it is the Kanto Tournament...
There are quite a few combinations that can lock this net killer, even if Mori Tatsunori can save the fire again, he can't save it anymore.
Therefore, changing the formation is a must.
The new combination is led by Kise Jing Xing, who is proficient in various tactics, to lead the match rhythm.
Yuuki Satoru cast his gaze on the court.
Only to see the two figures crossing and changing, although the formation seemed a bit chaotic, it was actually orderly in the chaos.
Under Kise Jing Xing's secret signal command, Neicun Jingjie's every net interception could play a significant role.
Either scoring directly or paving the way for the next attack.
Greatly increased the threat of interception.
In Yuuki Satoru's view.
Kise Jing Xing is like a cold swordsman with high martial arts, although he can't beat the strong man on the opposite side with his bare hands.
But as long as he holds a weapon in his hand.
He can kill with one blow!
And Neicun Jingjie is that sharp dagger, flashing with fierce cold light.
However...
Sometimes, there will be contradictions between the weapon and the swordsman.
Just like now.
Change of court rest time.
"That ball just now could clearly be received, why did you ask me to give up?" Neicun Jingjie frowned, showing a look of dissatisfaction.
Kise Jing Xing glanced, didn't speak, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel on his own.
Until he was about to go on the court, he opened his mouth:
"Even if it was saved, it would just be a waste of stamina. This kind of score will only disrupt the rhythm later.
Opportunities have always been there, but we need to stay calm..."
Looking at Kise Jing Xing's back as he went on the court, Neicun Jingjie was silent for a moment. He was a bit conflicted, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything and followed.
Although the process had some twists and turns, after the two paired up, they indeed produced a different and wonderful effect.
In a one-on-one situation, the strength of the Xiche captain and vice-captain was obviously stronger.
However, under Kise Jing Xing's deliberate tactical guidance, the other party kept having problems during cooperation, simply full of loopholes.
Then, Neicun Jingjie ended the score with a fierce interception kill.
In just half an hour, the game that Xiche Middle School thought was a sure win ended just like that.
"Game, Fudomine Middle School, Neicun Jingjie, Kise Jing Xing, 6-1!" ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
