Chapter 26 Training
The county competition ends in mid-May, while the Kanto competition is scheduled to be held in July by the Tennis Association, which means that there is still nearly a month and a half before the Kanto competition.
In order not to waste time, Yukimura and Yanagi decided to take everyone to the beach for training after discussion.
The main reason why I chose the seaside is because Kanagawa is close to the sea and Tatekkai is not far from the seaside. Training at the seaside is convenient and saves money.
In order to motivate their teammates to train harder, the two decided that if everyone made significant progress during the training process, they would set aside one of the weekends to relax, and then use the saved funds to take everyone to Bubble. spa.
In this regard, Tiangong Lan expressed great appreciation. Although he has money, if he can do it for free, no one will miss it, right? ! Besides, this can barely be considered a ‘publicly funded’ activity! I have never thought about what to do if the training results do not meet expectations~
In order to show his approval for Yukimura and Yanagi, Amamiya Arashi directly added to the training content arranged by Yanagi. For example, he could arrange some 1V2 or 2V3 fights, as well as something that is highly nutritious but tastes bad. Energy drinks, racing directly on the beach, just a few tips.
On a Friday afternoon after discussing all the details, Yukimura directly summoned the main and quasi-main candidates to announce the news to them, "In order to improve everyone's strength, and to better win the Kanto Competition championship, so in Let’s go to the beach for training a few weekends before the Kanto Tournament starts.”
No one had any objection to this.
After all, it is normal to train before the start of major events. Although it is very simple to win the Kanto Competition with their current strength, if training can make them stronger, then who would refuse? ?
What's more, the national competition will be less than a month after the Kanto competition. Starting training now will also be helpful for the subsequent national competition.
Seeing that none of them had different opinions, Liu directly told them some of the content discussed with Yukimura: "If the results of this training meet expectations, then everyone can go together on the last weekend before the start of the Kanto Competition Hot springs……"
"Wow! That's great~" Before Liu Renji could finish his words, everyone who heard the news started cheering. As for the training results Liu mentioned, they must be able to meet expectations, everyone thought very firmly.
---------
Early the next morning, everyone from Lihai University gathered at the school gate, planning to run to the training location together.
The teenagers lined up and ran along the road to the seaside carrying tennis bags.
The warm sunshine shined on them through the clouds. The sun's rays reflected from their clothes made them look dazzling.
Pedestrians who got up early for morning exercises couldn't help but smile when they saw this group of energetic teenagers.
……
When they ran to the beach, except for Nioh Masaharu and Marui Bunta who were sweating and breathing rapidly, almost everyone else just had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads and their breathing was slow.
Among them, Nioh Masaharu has been in a weak state because he is too picky about eating and hates exercise in the sun. Although he has improved a lot after this period of training, he is still not as good as other members and can only compete with Marui. It's a half-assed effort. As for Marui Bunta, it was simply because of his lack of physical strength.
Seeing the two of them looking like they were fished out of the water, Hisaaki Mori couldn't help but joked: "Nioh and Komarui are not strong enough, so they still need to practice more."
Yunchuan Qi was silently finishing the attack on the side: "Indeed, it would be dangerous if such physical strength is dragged into a protracted battle on the court!"
Yukimura began to look at the two of them with a smile, and there seemed to be many lilies blooming behind his back.
Yanagi Renji began to change their training list, focusing on strengthening physical training.
Sanada had a dark face and almost yelled, 'You are so lax! ’
Amamiya Arashi and Mori Juzaburo observed three seconds of silence for their experiences.
The cousins on the side looked at Mori Hisaaki and Kumokawa Kei, then at the brightly smiling Yukimura Seiichi and the dark-faced Sanada, and directly retracted themselves into the corner, hoping that they would not be noticed.
Kuwahara, who was supporting Marui, could only cheer for his little boy in his heart, and decided to buy some cakes to comfort Marui Bunta.
And the two people who suddenly heard this ‘bad news’:
Nioh slumped directly on the beach, his eyes dull, and with his white pigtails, he looked like a white-furred fox that had been sunburned.
Marui Bunta sat down directly next to Nioh.
……
Yukimura looked at the two people who really had no energy, and signaled the other members to do some preparations on the beach first, such as drawing the tennis court first.
After a while, when the two of them had almost recovered their physical strength, the tennis court was finished. Then Liu took out the specially prepared net from his tennis bag and hung it up to form a simple tennis court.
Later, Yukimura directly stated that the first training was singles on the beach. Since they only spend time on weekends every week for training, they focus on aspects such as physical possession of the ball.
In the first match, Ishiichi Hondo will face Naoto Hondo.
After hearing the name, the two men walked to the center of the court with their rackets and stood facing each other. Then, the two began to turn their rackets to determine the server. Ishiichi Hondo had better luck and got the right to serve.
As the director, Yukimura Seiichi served as the referee for this practice match. Yanagi stood next to Yukimura and planned to update the data of the two in order to formulate the next personal training menu.
"This match is a one-set match between Ishiichi Hondo and Naoto Hondo. Ishiichi Hondo serves and the game begins."
As Yukimura finished speaking, Ishiichi Hondo threw the tennis ball upwards and swung it directly. As Naoto's elder brother, he knew Naoto's strength very well, so there was no need to test each other, and he just used his full strength from the beginning.
Looking at Hondo Ishiichi's serve, Hondo Naoto planned to wait for the tennis ball to hit the ground and bounce back.
The idea is good, but my memory is too bad and I forgot that this is a beach.
With a 'bang' sound, the tennis ball was directly embedded in the beach.
"15-0"
Naoto Hondo looked at the tennis ball sinking into the sand under his feet with some astonishment. He was stunned for a while, feeling a little at a loss. He didn't expect that the tennis ball would get stuck in the sand and not bounce up on the beach.
"boom-"
"boom-"
"boom-"
"1:0, game by Ishiichi Hondo"
Before Hondo Naoto could recover, Hondo Ishiichi served a few more balls and scored a point directly.
Seeing his brother sneaking away while he was not paying attention, Naoto Naoto turned his attention to the game.
In the next few balls, Hondo Naoto accelerated his pace and rushed towards the landing point of the tennis ball. He held the racket and raised it hard the moment the tennis ball fell. He successfully picked up the tennis ball from the sand and hit a short ball back.
Ishiichi, the main hall, didn't expect that his younger brother would be able to think of a way to fight back so quickly. He accidentally lost a goal.
Then the game between the two returned to the state of one ball playing twenty or thirty rounds. In the end, Hondo Ishiichi won with difficulty by relying on the slight advantage of one point ahead.
The score between the two stayed at seven to five.
