Chapter 52

Boom!

"Game, Shan Chui Zhongxue's Dalin Taifu and Lechuan Jinzhiluo, 6-3."

"Shan Chui Zhongxue wins, total score 1:0."

Huff... huff...

Neicun Jingjie and Sen Chende were panting, drenched in sweat.

They lost after all; they were truly unwilling.

They had clearly gotten used to their playing style later on and had finally managed to slowly catch up in the score, but...

"Sorry."

Neicun Jingjie hung his head, his face full of self-reproach under the brim of his baseball cap.

As the main attacker, he failed to break through the opponent's defensive line and let down his teammate's support; he should bear most of the responsibility for this match.

Sen Chende shook his head slightly, wanting to comfort Neicun Jingjie, but he was used to being taciturn and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only squeeze a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Compared to Shan Chui's doubles, Neicun and Sen Chende are still quite a bit behind."

Jiecheng Wu secretly kept the two's performance in mind.

"It's not just reflected in the tacit understanding between teammates, but also in tactical formulation and the grasp of the match rhythm."

Among all the regulars of Budongfeng.

Sen Chende and Yingjing Ya's personalities were peaceful and calm; Heping Minchun had more experience and a mature mind.

Shitian Tie had lived under the influence of his older brother since he was a child, so he was determined to surpass Shitian Yin; after Shenwei Ming was guided by Jiecheng Wu, he also worked hard toward the number one speed in the country.

And Yiwu Shen Si had always looked far ahead, with his own path to follow in his heart.

Only Neicun Jingjie was different.

He became a regular as soon as he entered Budongfeng, and after joining the team, he met an excellent support like Sen Chende, which allowed him to exert his strength to the extreme.

From the regional tournament to the Du Da Sai, everything had been smooth sailing, and he had never encountered any setbacks.

Although his strength was not as good as Shenwei Ming and the other two, his journey had been the smoothest.

Coupled with his lively personality, Neicun Jingjie's heart had long since been unable to calm down.

Although they lost the match, for him, this result might be a good thing.

Tasting the sourness and bitterness of this failure would allow his heart to return to peace.

The two from Budongfeng remained silent, but their opponents still felt lingering fear.

"That was close, it really gave me a scare!"

Dalin Taifu had one hand on his waist and was fanning his face with the other; he had really been fighting for his life in that last game.

Lechuan Jinzhiluo's eyes were also filled with shock; they had gotten used to their changing playing style in just a few games. If it had dragged on any longer, it would have been hard to say who would win or lose.

"To have such strength as a first-year student, Budongfeng will become a very powerful school in the future." He muttered as he looked at the two opposite him.

"But fortunately, our newcomers aren't bad either." Dalin Taifu smiled and pointed at the few people off the court.

Looking at the heads of Nan Kentaro and Dongfang Yamei poking out, as well as that lively, jumping cherry-red hair.

The two smiled at each other; let the juniors handle the future.

"A wonderful match."

"Your strength is much stronger than I imagined."

When leaving the court, Lechuan Jinzhiluo walked to Neicun Jingjie's side and praised him.

"However..."

"Shan Chui will absolutely not lose the Doubles No. 1 match."

"Nan and Dongfang, known as the Simple Duo and the Potato Army combination, they are Shan Chui's true No. 1 doubles team!"

Seeing the confident light flickering in his eyes, Neicun Jingjie was slightly stunned, feeling a bit dazed.

Shan Chui's first doubles team, huh...

A thick worry suddenly arose in his heart.

Slap!

A heavy hand patted him from behind; Neicun Jingjie's pupils regained focus, and Shenwei Ming walked in front of him with a smile.

"Leave it to us with peace of mind!"

"We will definitely win."

Shitian Tie's voice was not loud, but his gaze was incredibly firm and serious; the aura emitted by his tall body was like a great mountain, giving people a full sense of security.

"Okay..."

At this moment, the referee's voice came over the broadcast.

"Next, the Doubles No. 1 match is about to begin."

"Fudomine Middle School's Shinji Kamio and Tetsuharu Ishida versus Yamabuki Middle School's Nan Kentaro and Dongfang Yamei."

"Yamabuki Middle School's Nan Kentaro will serve first!"

The broadcast ended.

Both sides stood their ground; a breeze blew by, and the net swayed gently in the wind.

Shan Chui, Budongfeng.

Potato Army VS Power and Speed Extremes!

The match was about to break out!

At another venue in the tennis park, the semi-final between Qingxue and Ice Emperor was in a fierce confrontation.

Compared to the match venue of Budongfeng and Shan Chui, the venue here had a completely different atmosphere.

That was the deafening cheering and shouting in the audience.

"Ice Emperor! The winner is Ice Emperor!"

"The winner is Ice Emperor, the loser is Qingxue!"

"Ice Emperor! Ice Emperor!"

The rising and falling cheers were like a tide, as if the entire court was about to be overturned by this sound wave.

There were also relatively many ordinary spectators here, and the vast majority of them came for Bing Di Xue Yuan.

In the previous Doubles No. 2, Hyotei easily crushed Seigaku's Masashi Arai and Ichiro Kaneda with a score of 6-0, ending the match in twelve minutes.

The entire venue suddenly heated up.

Cheers erupted one after another in the audience.

Seeing the tide of people wearing gray-white uniforms, Kikumaru felt a wave of pressure rushing toward him.

In the first five days of the Du Da Sai, there were schools that chose to forfeit because they couldn't withstand this pressure.

"Eiji, let's go!"

"Okay!"

Placing the white sweat towel in his hand on the player's seat, Oishi and Kikumaru stood up together holding their rackets, as tacit as if they were one person.

"Next, the Doubles No. 1 match is about to begin."

"Seigaku's Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji versus Hyotei Academy's Ogawa and Jinlin."

"Youth Academy's Oishi Shuichiro will serve first!"

Slap... slap... slap...

Standing on the baseline, Oishi gently pressed the tennis ball twice.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he didn't dare to be careless; the opponent was Ice Emperor, after all.

"Here it comes!"

Boom!

The blue and white uniforms billowed in the wind; the tennis ball was high-pressure, fierce, and fast, with a tricky and sharp angle, landing precisely in the inner corner of the receiving area.

Just as the ball crossed the net, Kikumaru's position began to change simultaneously, while Oishi instantly ran toward the baseline.

"This formation?"

"Interesting."

Atobe squinted his eyes slightly; this doubles pair from Qingxue was clearly different from the two pieces of trash just now.

Qingxue player bench.

"The probability of winning is 100%."

Gan Zhen Zhi slowly closed the notebook recording the data of the Ice Emperor players; although the match had just begun, he had already seen the ending.

Gently pushing up his sliding black-rimmed glasses, he quietly glanced at the two people beside him.

Compared to the match on the court, he was more curious about what had happened to Tezuka and Bu Er.

He always felt that something had become different...

Boom!

"Game, Youth Academy's Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji, 3-0!"

"Switch sides~"

This match result made the spectators outside the court drop their jaws.

"Those two from Qingxue actually completely took the upper hand!"

"This match is worth watching!"

Boom!

"Game, Yamabuki Middle School's Nan Kentaro and Dongfang Yamei, 2-1!"

Lechuan Jinzhiluo withdrew his gaze from the court and turned to look at Budongfeng's player bench.

He smiled inwardly; this match was exactly as he had expected.

The so-called simple and complex didn't refer to the playing style.

It meant that when Ban Lao was teaching them tactics, Nan and Dongfang could always complete them easily and simply, while he and Taifu were always slower than them.

Those two guys were absolute doubles geniuses!

"In this match, Budongfeng will not have any chance."

【PS: Remember to read the author's words】

Regarding the changes in Tezuka and Bu Er's mentality, because the updates were always sent out in halves when writing this plot earlier, the writing was very rushed.

This led to very rough handling, and almost nothing of what I wanted to express was expressed.

I'm going to play against Qingxue later, so I'll explain it here.

First, let's talk about Tezuka. According to Tezuka's personality, it would definitely be unreasonable to go directly to challenge the captain after seeing Budongfeng win.

He had psychological changes during this process, but unfortunately, it was almost all missed earlier 【crying】.

First, there was surprise that Budongfeng, this notorious school, actually made it all the way to the finals.

Then, hearing that Budongfeng's first-year regulars occupied the majority, this made him admire Budongfeng's boldness and the demeanor of Budongfeng's senior members.

Next, because of Ryuzaki's arrangement, the match was lost very powerlessly; this kind of powerlessness was that I clearly had a chance to win, but I lost.

After the match, seeing Budongfeng shouting about their national goal, he remembered himself a year ago; Jiecheng Wu's captain style made him have some thoughts.

After the match, Tezuka took the initiative to understand Budongfeng's experience; based on Budongfeng's changes, he finally understood one thing: some things have to be fought for by yourself.

Finally, Tezuka went to challenge Qing Tian Bang Nan.

And Bu Er is relatively much simpler; there are only two hurdles in his heart.

One is that there is no strong desire to win; the other is that he couldn't compete with the all-winning Tezuka.

The latter has been partially completed, although it was actually written roughly.

He saw Jiecheng Wu and his teammates after the match, which reminded him of the first-year Tezuka, so he went to find Jiecheng Wu to compete to make up for the regret.

I will rewrite this plot later.
