Chapter 64 0 opponents
"Brother, shall we win first or lose first?" Terry asked softly, standing next to Tom.
"Well... let's win a round first."
Tom's eyes flickered slightly. In his impression, Billy and Mike were not weak, but in the end, the opponent won the game.
To be on the safe side, he decided to take the initiative first.
……
Compared with the calculations in the hearts of the Griffith brothers, Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura have absolute confidence in the strength of themselves and their partners. In addition, the two of them occasionally get into doubles together during training at the Rikkai Tennis Club, so they have a tacit understanding. A little bit too.
Since both of them are all-around players, there is no such thing as a forward or a defender.
Many reporters from Country R who knew Rikkai's strength were secretly excited when they saw Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura Seiichi on the court. In their opinion, Rikkai's two aces playing doubles would be a sensational event in the junior high school tennis world! As for winning or losing, ...They have never seen Yukimura Seiichi and Amamiya Arashi lose a game!
……
“The American team shouldn’t want to lose two games in a row~”
"It's a pity, it doesn't mean they don't want it."
A smile appeared on the handsome faces of Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura Seiichi.
However, it was their smile that made the audience start cheering and screaming again. Although those viewers from abroad don’t know the strength of Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura, the domestic ones don’t know the strength of brothers Tom and Terry. But these four people all have one obvious thing in common, that is, they are good-looking. Although different people like different looks, no one can say that the four of them are not good-looking. Who in the world would refuse to look at beautiful people or things?
……
"Tom serves! The game begins!"
When the referee announced the start of the game, Tom Griffith began to throw the ball high into the air and then swung the racket.
Maybe the Griffith brothers are capable, but who made them meet Yukimura and Amamiya Arashi? Moreover, in the first half of the game, according to the guessing game between the two, it was Yukimura who stood in the first half...
Although Yukimura didn't use his ultimate move at the beginning, his perfect basic tennis skills were enough to give the Griffith brothers a headache.
After playing back and forth for thirty or forty rounds, with a "bang" sound, the tennis ball landed next to Tom's right foot and stopped bouncing. Yukimura also took the lead in scoring a point.
"1-0, Kanto representative team Yukimura & Amamiya score."
"The other party is still wearing clothes..."
Tom and Terry looked at each other breathlessly. There was no anger in their eyes. Their childhood experiences made their minds far beyond their peers.
Besides, they also hope that the other party will despise them. Only in this way will they be able to 'perform' according to Baker's script, right?
And the coat is still firmly on his shoulders even after being beaten for so long, which is enough to show that this person is not simple.
……
Amamiya Arashi, who was standing behind, was almost bored and wanted to sit down. Then he blinked and stared at Yukimura, "Seiichi~ Why don't you leave a few balls for me~"
Yukimura Seiichi looked at Amamiya Arashi with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay," Tiangong Lan muttered. He was just talking, and then looked at the sky, "I knew this would happen..." They actually know how to cooperate, but according to the In this normal formation, according to normal circumstances, Yukimura, who was standing in the frontcourt, should have responded back just now. He felt a little bored and said this casually.
Actually, to be honest, it’s not bad to see Yukimura one versus two from close range. After all, they are all ‘beauties’! But just think about this in your mind.
……
When Yukimura served, he began to lay the groundwork for the use of ‘Dreamland’. With a gentle smile on his face, he moved his legs slightly, and then a seemingly ordinary ball was hit by his racket. Yukimura's delicate mental power also spread to the hands of the person who caught the ball along with the ball.
In order to speed up, Yukimura only focused on Tom Griffith, so it was obviously a doubles, but it inexplicably turned into a singles between Yukimura and Tom Griffiths. Terry Griffith on the side wanted to help his brother, but he couldn't get involved, while Amangong Lan looked carefree, watching the competition between the two with great interest.
When he felt that it was almost done, Yukimura swung the racket lightly, and with a "bang" sound, the tennis ball fell to the court, and then rolled a few times on the spot.
"15-0, Yukimura scores"
"Hey, you are not weak..." Although the arrangements have been almost completed, Yukimura has not yet let Tom fall into a dream, so he is still normal now.
Terry glanced at the tennis ball behind him in surprise, but he still didn't feel any pressure at all. Although he had already scored a point, it was just a ball now and was not important.
And in the past, let alone losing one point and then adding a goal, in order to satisfy Baker's script, they have played such desperate comeback games after losing five games and adding three goals. Well, it's just a trivial matter to them.
But even though he thought so, after this time, Terry obviously became serious, and his tennis speed also improved a lot. After all, he still remembered the strategy of winning first, then losing, and then winning again. You lose, but the strategy can be changed according to the situation, and you can lose first and then win!
The most important thing in life is to know how to be flexible! The two brothers who experienced wandering when they were young still remember this.
……
"boom--"
Although the Griffith brothers became serious, it was still of no use to Yukimura. No, this is another ball that looks ordinary, but its power is not weak at all. Although the ball did not directly penetrate Terry's racket, it also caused burnt marks on the racket.
"2-0, Kanto representative team Yukimura scores."
……
With the next ball, Yukimura directly triggered the previous arrangement, and Tom Griffith stood there and fell into a dream. In the dream, he and his brother Terry successfully completed Baker Richard's script. Their performance of losing first and then winning aroused cheers from the audience, and their opponents had to congratulate them with a forced smile even if they lost the game. …
"15-0, Yukimura scores"
"!?" The ball was heading towards Tom. Terry didn't realize that his brother was already immersed in hallucinations, so he didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, Tom stood motionless and let the yellow ball fall. At feet.
Looking at Tom who was motionless, Terry frowned and looked at Yukimura, "What did you do to my brother?!"
"He was just immersed in his own dream." Yukimura still had the same smile on his face, and his tone was also very gentle, but the words he said did make Terry feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Yukimura who was about to serve again, Terry glanced at Baker and then gritted his teeth and dragged Tom to the back where he would not be easily hit by the ball.
……
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
"3-0, Kanto representative team Yukimura scores."
Three consecutive goals. Although each goal was played back and forth several times, it was Yukimura who scored in the end. After all, when Tom could still play, the Griffith brothers could not win a ball from Yukimura together, let alone now. Just one Terry.
"How about you do it in the second half?" Amamiya Arashi said to Yukimura, looking at the miserable Terry Griffith opposite.
"..." He must have disliked the opponent for being too weak and too lazy to take action! Yukimura thought speechlessly, and then said: "My mental strength can't last long now. Tom's situation should be resolved automatically after a while."
……
As the two sides of the match exchanged venues, Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura also swapped positions.
This time, Terry's familiar style of play was about to change again. Unlike Yukimura's simplicity, in the eyes of others, Amamiya Arashi has always been synonymous with bells and whistles.
After a while, there were four sounds of "bang -", "bang -", "bang -" and "bang -", and the tennis ball fell next to Terry.
"4-0, Kanto representative team Amamiya Arashi scores."
Four balls, a meteorite swarm, a butterfly dance, a fire phoenix circling and a shower of flowers, successfully scored a point.
Sitting in the coaching bench, Baker, who saw this move for the first time, thought he was being deceived, and then his eyes showed salivation. If this was one of his players, wouldn't he make a lot of money! After all, the scenes of meteorites falling to the ground, butterflies dancing, fire phoenixes circling or flowers raining all over the sky are still quite shocking.
……
When it was Terry's turn to serve, Amamiya Lan first played back and forth at the opponent's pace for a few rounds. Then, perhaps because he felt bored, he integrated his own power into the tennis ball, creating a big hole in the court and at the same time pulling the score to a close. Five to zero.
Seeing that he was only one round away from winning, but Tom Griffith on the opposite side had not yet woken up, Amamiya Arashi also realized that Yukimura was deceiving him before.
Amangong Lan: ⊙︿⊙Liar! I've been so nice to you and you actually lied to me! Then after seeing Yukimura’s smile:(/^▽^)/ Seiichi is so beautiful! Such a good-looking Jingshi will definitely not lie. It must be that the one named Tom is too weak...
Then there were four different moves to end the game. The US West Coast representative team had a double and was blocked by two.
Back in the lounge, Baker Richard was still preoccupied with Amamiya Lan's flashy skills, and he didn't even react to find fault with the Griffith brothers, so the two of them escaped smoothly.
……
"The intermission time begins! We provide free lunch here! Please go to the canteen to eat under the guidance of the staff! Please abide by the order of the venue and avoid crowding..."
After the two doubles, it was almost time for lunch.
Several members of the Lihai University who were selected for the representative team found their friends who were watching the game and took them to the restaurant for dinner.
I have to say that Baker Richard has spent a lot of money on this competition. Not only are the tickets cheap, but I heard that he spent his own money to promote it. Now, not only will lunch be provided, but each contestant will also be allowed to bring family and friends to dine with them. ...If they lose, he won't be mad, right? ! Tiangong Lan could not help but feel a trace of sympathy in her heart.
……
During meals, people from different schools mingled with members of their own school teams. After all, although some people from other schools were pretty good, they still preferred members from their own school.
During the meal, the nine members of Li Hai University happened to occupy a round table.
"The West Coast youth team in the United States is not weak. Although they lost miserably in doubles, I don't know how they will perform in the next singles match."
Marui was not idle during the meal. On this occasion, no one asked for anything, and everyone around him was also talking about the two doubles matches just now.
There are still many people talking about Yukimura. After all, Sanada and Atobe's victory is still traceable. Amamiya Arashi's moves are similar to what everyone has seen in the Kanto Competition, and they are still as gorgeous as ever. However, Yukimura asked Tom Griffith to tell the outside world The lack of reaction left everyone puzzled. After the game, Tom Griffith did have a happy smile on his face even though he had lost the game.
"The next singles match? The only ones who haven't appeared yet are Renji, Masaharu, Seigaku's Fuji and Hyoutei's Renzu." Amamiya Arashi took a mouthful of rice, "Renji and Masaharu are definitely fine."
"As for Seigaku's Fuji and Hyoutei's Ninzu..."
"Seigaku's Fujisuke, he is recognized as a talented player~" Yukimura answered with a smile, "And judging from his performance in the training camp, he is probably at the national level."
"What about Ninzu? The Kansai wolf wearing glasses?"
"Yushi Ninzu is also a genius, but he wasn't serious enough in previous games, and almost every time he wanted to be serious, the game just ended... If he will play this time, then I hope he can be more serious!" Liu Renji was speechless. He had never seen such a lazy person. Even the equally lazy Nioh had more desire to win than Renzu Yushi. Then Liu glanced at a certain white-furred fox, feeling somewhat relieved.
"..." King Ni stopped picking food and said helplessly: "Commander, I didn't do anything, did I?" Why does Liu's expression look so strange! I haven’t done much recently! Phew! Niou bit his spoon and thought deeply.
……
After everyone in Rikkai University finished lunch, they decided to go for a walk outside. Anyway, there was still an hour and a half before the start of the game, so in the end, except for Nioh and Liu, who had not participated in the game, the seven people simply decided to Just hanging out on the court outside together.
Of course, most people from other schools were hanging around outside, but as members of Rikkai University, they stood out especially when they walked by.
……
Several people staying next to a certain court successfully attracted Yagyu's attention.
The inner thoughts of a pseudo-gentleman at this moment: It seems... there is a good show to watch~ Do you want to remind everyone? Emmm, it seems there are people from Qingxue, so I’d better remind you~
"Huh~"
After making the decision, Yagyu let out a sound of surprise with a natural look on his face.
Everyone stopped laughing and stopped to take a look. The members of Qingxue and the American players were confronting each other. There seemed to be a recess in the stadium, and there were two short men standing over there.
They walked over there happily, intending to watch the excitement. Of course, if something happened, they could also help a little.
"Ta Tata..."
A series of footsteps broke the confrontation between the Qingxue people and the American team members. They all invariably focused their attention on the people who came over.
Seeing the people from Lihai University, everyone in Qingxue didn't have much reaction. After all, they were still teammates with the same stance.
The expressions of several members of the American team were not so good. How could it be that three of the players in the morning competition were from Li Hai University? Fortunately for Sanada, at least Billy and Mike were able to hit back his balls and get a few points from him.
But Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura who appeared later were more terrifying for them. The Griffith brothers actually failed to win a ball from either one of them! ?
The two brothers, Tom and Terry, were not weak in their opinion, but even so, they were still blocked.
And according to what Tom said later, the one named Yukimura may be a master of mental power, and the other Amamiya Arashi also suspected that the other party's flowers and butterflies may be formed by mental power. After all, the methods of mental players have always been It's all mysterious...
Several members of the American team looked at Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura and took a few steps back unconsciously. They had no way to deal with the mental players. And this is country R after all, unless something happens, they will definitely be at a disadvantage. Several people couldn't help but have the idea of retreating.
……
"Echizen Ryoma, why don't you dare to go out and compete with me!"
In the field, Kevin Smith's angry voice came out. Several people from Li Hai directly pushed away the people blocking the outside, and the situation on the field appeared in front of them.
Tom and Bob, who were pushed away, said nothing. In order to make it easier for them to see, they took a few steps to the side.
It doesn't matter if you are timid now, as long as you give it back to the opponent during the competition! I don't believe that each of them is that strong! Bob held his breath and looked at Tom.
"Hey~ Isn't this going to be a fight?" Tiangong Lan looked worried about the world being in chaos, and kept tossing the tennis ball he just took out of his pocket with one hand.
"If they fight, the next game won't have to be played." Marui chewed gum and blew bubbles.
……
Looking at this group of guys watching the show, Kevin gave Echizen Ryoma a hard look and planned to leave with Bob and the others.
He was able to come here without completing any formalities. He was connected to the Baker Club. If he was sent back for fighting now, he wouldn't know when he would be able to compete with Echizen.
Looking at the members of the American team leaving, Fuji Shusuke on the side said thank you to several people at Tachikai University. Although they may have just come to watch the fun at first, the final result was that they helped them.
