Chapter 75 75. Doubles No. 2! The curtain begins!
Doubles No. 2
Bunta Marui, Jackal Kuwabara!
Atsushi Murasakibara, Tetsuya Kuroko!
The lineup of Teikou is actually quite free.
Except for Kuroko being pinned in the doubles position, everyone else can change the lineup freely.
They are competent in both singles and doubles, so they can make corresponding adjustments when facing any school.
Whether it is against others or normal matches, Teikou has a huge advantage innately.
Even Murasakibara, who is used to doubles, can rely on his excellent physique and defense to play singles.
This is the confidence brought by strong players.
However, schools such as Rikkai University and Seigaku are different.
In addition to players who specialize in singles, they also have some doubles players who cooperate well.
After all, the doubles position in tennis is always occupied by a pair of combinations, because whether it is tacit cooperation or tactical consultation, two people who have been cooperating are always much stronger than a combination of random combinations.
Bunta and Kuwabara are one of them.
Since they entered school, they have worked hard to get the regular position of Rikkai University, and through continuous cultivation of tacit understanding, they have formed a strong doubles combination.
Although doubles players with tacit understanding are indeed strong, it also creates another disadvantage.
They cannot be separated to other positions at any time.
Therefore, Rikkai University's formation against Teikou is quite limited.
Except for Yanagi Renji, Sanada, and Yukimura who can be temporarily changed, doubles players Bunta, Kuwabara, Niou, and Yagyu are all immovable.
After all, Niou is still more accustomed to forming doubles with Yagyu, so the position of singles No. 3 is temporarily replaced by Yanagi Renji.
This greatly restricts their formation, so that under the new rules, Momoi can directly understand Rikkai University's arrangement.
The previous predicted battle table was made in this way.
……………
"That guy is very tall."
Walking back to the baseline, Bunta looked at Murasakihara's physique and said with some surprise.
"What grade is this? It's not fully developed, right?"
Kuwabara nodded, and was also a little confused about Murasakihara's height.
How could the physical difference between them be so obvious when they are in the same grade?
"Let's wait and see for now."
Bunta was fully prepared while chewing gum in his mouth.
They did not wear weighted wrist guards from the beginning of this game.
Rikkai University would never take lightly the opponent who could make Hyotei and Seigaku feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Pah!"
Kuroko stood at the baseline and glanced at the situation in the court with calm eyes.
Then he raised his hand and hit a very simple straight serve.
"Wow!"
The ball flew past the net and fell into the opponent's court.
"Hey!"
Because the ball fell near the front court, Marui Bunta was relatively close, so he easily raised his hand and hit it back.
At the same time, his eyes were focused on the opponent.
Then he saw Murasakibara slowly raised the racket, and the whole person stood horizontally in front of the net and hit it back.
"Bang!"
"Hmm!"
The ball passed Marui Bunta in an instant, shuttled through the backcourt, fell and bounced.
Kuwahara immediately filled in the position and stretched out his racket to catch the ball.
But as soon as the racket touched the tennis ball, he found a strong force shaking the racket.
"It's so heavy!"
Although he knew that the opponent's physique was different from that of ordinary people, his strength must be strong, but when he really touched it, Kuwahara found that he still underestimated it.
"Wow!"
After finally hitting the ball back, Murasakibara was able to hit it back easily.
"15-0!"
"30-0!"
"40-0!"
"This game is won by Teiko! The score is 1-0!"
"In front of the net?"
Marui Bunta looked at Murasakibara standing still in front of the net, and didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
After these balls alternated, Murasakibara was like a stone, standing in front of the net and not moving.
His gradually growing physique was like a wall across the net.
Unless they hit a high lob to bypass Murasakibara, they would be easily intercepted and hit back by him.
"The movement is not as slow as expected."
"The power is also sufficient."
"The defensive range is terrifyingly wide."
"What a monster."
It was only then that Marui Bunta observed Murasakihara's outrageous "performance".
What kind of player is this? This is simply a wall!
"To pass him, apart from hitting the ball super fast, the only way is to hit a long lob."
Sangyuan pinched his wrist, which was a little numb after receiving the ball, and then spoke.
"That kind of defensive range is really a foul."
Nio observed from the sidelines and said with an ambiguous smile.
"It looks so scary, but I believe they will find a way to break through."
Yukimura also met this kind of player for the first time, but he believed that Kuwahara and others would definitely find a way.
"Huh"
Sanada disagreed with this. If he faced Murasakihara, he would have many ways to try to break through.
"It would be fine if it was just him alone."
In response, Yanagi Renji tried to find another player on the field.
(.)
But as he searched, Yanagi Renji found something wrong.
It seemed that he couldn't see the other player?
……………
“2-0!”
This match was monotonous. Kuwabara and Bunta kept attacking, while Murasakibara just stood in front of the net and hit the ball.
His broad defensive ability could directly kill many players who didn't have special moves.
So much so that the eyes of the whole audience were on Murasakibara. Even if Kuroko moved behind him to adjust his position, no one could notice.
"Sure enough, other methods don't work."
They lost another game, but Kuwabara and Bunta didn't care too much.
After trying many methods and finding no effect on Murasakibara, they could only use other means to break through this wall.
"What a trouble"
"Kuroko, you may not have a chance to perform in this game."
Murasakibara walked back to the baseline to prepare for the serve. He looked around and then spoke.
"The game is not over yet, Murasakibara-kun."
"That's right."
Kuroko's answer startled Murasakibara, then he nodded lazily and asked another question.
"Kuro, can you eat while playing tennis?"
"It seems you can, but you definitely can't eat something like a delicious stick."
Murasara pointed at Marui Bunta chewing gum and blowing bubbles, and asked enviously, but after Kuroko's ambiguous response, he straightened his posture and served the ball.
As soon as he served the ball, Murasakibara immediately went to the net, forming an insurmountable wall.
But as soon as he stood in front of the net, Murasakibara found that the little guy in front of him (Marui Bunta) was catching the bouncing tennis ball with both hands in the midfield.
"That's really powerful!"
"But it won't stop me!"
He tried to hit the ball back with his racket tilted, and Murasakibara found something wrong just as he was about to catch the ball.
"Bang!"
"Pah!"
"0-15!"
The tennis ball just touched the net and bounced up, then rolled along the net, and then fell into Murasakibara and Kuroko's court.
