SFS Chapter 198: The exhibition match is over, the crazy inward-looking guy is hanging up
Chapter 198: The exhibition match is over, the crazy inward-looking guy is hanging up
"The game is over, the score is 6-0!"
"Team D wins!"
"The World Cup exhibition match between Country D and Japan has ended, with Country D winning with two wins and one loss."
As the announcement came on the radio, the entire venue became excited.
Countless audiences held the flags of Country D in their hands, cheering and applauding Borg. The excited voices merged into waves, echoing continuously in the venue.
……
In sharp contrast to this was the exit of Team R, with all the players having very solemn expressions on their faces.
Coach Mifune said solemnly, "How miserable! We actually had two wins and one loss! We lost both games and were shut out by the opponent."
Then he laughed and encouraged: "But this is also good, it can be regarded as a good warm-up before the game."
"Let's get to know the world, and then use our efforts to change our team's ranking in the world!"
Coach Mifune had originally expected that the team would lose all three exhibition games.
Because this is just an exhibition match and will not be counted in the final results, winning or losing doesn’t matter at all.
Mifune's goal was to make these junior high school students understand the gap between themselves and other world powers.
Therefore, he did not allow Byodoin to play.
He originally thought that the combination of Taneshima and Takahashi would win the next game, but in the end it was Takahashi and Ochi who played.
This made Mifune give up his only hope, but unexpectedly Takahashi gave him a surprise.
Takahashi used Yuezhi's advantages to first deal with the opponent's junior high school student, turning the doubles he was least good at into singles, and then defeated QP on his own, and absorbed the three rays of reserved light to become the ultimate quality QP.
Mifune was very impressed by the wisdom and strength that Takahashi displayed in this match.
Mifune recalled the last time he observed the match between Takahashi and Taneshima, and combined with this match, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Takahashi's strength was growing much faster than he had imagined.
If things continue at this pace, Takahashi will be able to challenge Borg in a year or two.
Even though the R team did not get a very good ranking this year, with Takahashi there, Mifune believes that the future of the R team is very bright.
Because Takahashi is only in the first grade of junior high school!
Whether in terms of strength or physical fitness, he has great room for growth.
Thinking of this, Mifune looked back at Takahashi, only to find that his eyes were fixed on Borg.
Did Borg's last goal inspire Takahashi's fighting spirit?
Mifune slowed down his pace, walked up to Takahashi and said, "Take steady steps, maintain your own rhythm, and don't let the powerful world shake your pace."
"Borg is not your current goal, but your future goal."
"Don't worry, you will always defeat him in the future."
Takahashi nodded and continued walking forward.
Now it's not that he regards the Borg as a target, but that the Borg regards him as a target that needs to be suppressed.
Borg's look and behavior just now greatly stimulated the AFK guy.
The AFK guy finally occupied Takahashi's second dimension, ready to show off his style and get proud, but he was soon suppressed by Borg in terms of ball speed.
This is the biggest provocation to the dignity and strength of the AFK villain!
The villains now are full of resentment. The two of them team up to work hard on their tennis skills.
The original AFK man didn't have such a strong desire to win, nor was he that human, but thanks to QP's words "I want to be the God of Tennis", the AFK man seems to have his own will.
It will never allow anyone to show tennis skills superior to its own in front of it.
If there is such a person, he must be more diligent and work harder than the other person and leave the other person far behind.
Takahashi thought that with the two guys' madness, they might not be able to wait until next year, and Borg must be dealt with this year.
Otherwise Takahashi would not be able to suppress their rage.
……
night.
The coaches grouped all the high school and middle school students together.
Kurobe said, "Starting tomorrow, the U17 World Cup will begin."
"The first thing to start is the group stage."
Kirihara asked, "What is the group stage?"
Kurobe explained: "There are a total of 32 countries and regions participating in the world championship this time, divided into 8 groups, each with 4 teams, and these 4 teams will play round-robin matches."
"Each match consists of three singles and two doubles, so seven players are needed to compete."
Saito added, "According to the rules of this tournament, three of the seven contestants must be junior high school students."
"That is to say, it will be a mixed match between middle school and high school students, just like the exhibition match we had during the day."
Sanada nodded and asked, "So who will our opponent be tomorrow...?"
Dashi scratched his head in dissatisfaction and said, "I drew the Ruishi team today."
"Our group includes the Swiss team, the Greek team, and the A-Alia team."
Yanagi Renji flipped open his data book and said, "Country D, Switzerland, France, and Spain, these four countries are called the 'Big 4' and are the world's top four in recent years."
"Compared with them, the strength of other countries is not even on the same level."
Niou said, "So, we're playing against Ruishi, the world's second-ranked team, in the group stage?"
"After the exhibition match, I was drawn to be the world's number one player. In the group stage, I was drawn to be the world's number two player."
"Daishi, your luck is still as good as ever!"
Kimijima Ikuto said: "Look at the bright side, as long as we beat the other two teams in the group, Greece and Australia."
“Even if we lost to Ruishi in the group final, we were able to successfully advance to the semi-finals as the second place.”
……
the next day.
The venue for the U17 World Cup.
"What is about to begin is the first match of Group B of the U17 World Cup."
"Team Yuxi Wa versus Team R!"
The radio sounded.
Coach Mifune announced loudly to his players, "The rules of this tournament are that each player can only play one game out of three group matches."
"So these three games require 21 players to participate."
"Now I declare that the seven people who will fight against Xila will be called the Song Team."
"Taneshima Shuji, Yanagi Renji, Tono Atsuki, Kochi Gekkou, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Kirihara Akaya, and Oishi Shuichirou."
Upon hearing this, Sanada said, "In this way, each of us can only play once at most in the three group matches."
Mu Shou said with some dissatisfaction: "So why is Oishi's name on the list of players for the match against Xila?"
"His ability is at the bottom among all the junior high school students."
"Didn't the coach say in the meeting yesterday that today was a game we couldn't lose?"
Shiraishi looked at the embarrassed Oishi and tried to smooth things over, "Mushou, you can't say that. The coach must have had his own special intentions in putting Oishi in this game."
Takahashi grumbled quietly, "This was all decided by Coach Mifune drawing lots."
Last night, Mifune stopped Takahashi and asked him if he had any suggestions for the list of junior high school students.
Are you kidding? He decided Rikkai University's roster by drawing lots. How could he possibly think seriously about R team's roster now?
So he told Mifune his good way of drawing lots.
Listening to Takahashi's mumbling, Kirihara asked, "Master, what did you say?"
Takahashi said: "Nothing!"
"Anyway, come on! Oishi!"
Takahashi turned and said to Oishi.
