Chapter 142 The Kanto Finals Attract Everyone’s Attention (1st Update)
The next day.
Tokyo Midorimori Tennis Park.
The weather is fine.
A group of people gathered outside the park early, and as the park opened, people filed in.
"senior."
Walking out of the parking lot, Tennis Monthly's Zhi said with emotion: "The atmosphere of the final is worthy of it. The number of spectators is completely incomparable to the first two rounds."
"That's for sure."
Inoue nodded, looking at the energetic teenagers, he smiled and said: "This is an annual junior high school tennis match, second only to the national competition and the West Japan Competition. If you guessed it correctly, I am afraid that schools all over the country will send The representative is here."
"Yes."
Shiba Saori glanced at the people not far away and recognized the school on their chests. He nodded and said, "The ones over there seem to be from the Tokai and Hokkaido areas."
As the level of competition increases.
The number of spectators gradually increased to include powerful schools across the country.
But this is also normal.
The winning flag of the national competition is still placed in Rikkai University's tennis club. Moreover, this year's Ice Emperor is stronger than any other year.
There are rumors in the outside world that Tatekai Dai, who has always been victorious and undefeated, is likely to be defeated by the Ice Emperor this year.
"It's almost time to go in."
After looking at the obviously loose crowd, Inoue said.
Subsequently.
The two entered the tennis park.
But under Shiba Saori's surprised gaze, Inoue did not take her to the venue for the competition between Hyotei and Tatekai. Instead, head to several other courses.
Because although today is the finals day, the first thing to be played is the resurrection match for the eight-to-four losing team.
In the national competition, there are a total of 6 places in the Kanto region.
In addition to the top four, the remaining four teams have to draw lots and then compete. The first two teams to win will get tickets to the national competition.
And the other side.
Kanai General Hospital near Kanagawa and Tatekai University.
Outside a ward on the third floor.
Several teenagers carrying tennis bags and wearing dark yellow jackets with the 'herringbone' logo embroidered on their chests looked into the room from time to time.
"Yukimura."
In the room, a stern young man wearing a black cap and eyebrows like blades was Genichiro Sanada, deputy director of Rikkai University. He solemnly said to the person on the bed: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to do the surgery in time for you." Come back before the end!"
"Um."
On the hospital bed, the handsome boy with blue-purple hair nodded slightly. A smile appeared on his slightly pale face. After glancing at Sanada, he turned to the door and the people outside: "Come on, everyone, I'm here, waiting for the good news of your victory!"
Hear the words.
Inside and outside the room, the teenagers who were chewing bubble gum or wandering around with their hands on plugs all became serious in their eyes and nodded heavily towards each other.
Subsequently.
Under the leadership of Sanada.
Everyone in Likai University left the hospital and took a special car to Tokyo.
11am.
The two revival matches of the Kanto Tournament have also ended.
Chiba's Rokkachu and Tokyo's Yamabuki successfully advanced and received valuable national tickets.
competition is over.
People's enthusiasm has not subsided.
Although another game has not started yet, a large number of spectators have already gathered near the zigzag stadium.
"Now, the finals of the Kanto Competition are about to begin!"
soon.
A voice sounded on the radio.
"The representative of Kanagawa Prefecture, Tatekai University Affiliated High School, and the representative of Tokyo, Hyotei Academy!"
Tap! !
The words fell.
Then I heard a burst of dense footsteps.
The sound passed through like thousands of troops, causing the people around them to subconsciously turn their heads and look over.
"The Ice Emperor is here."
Inoue's eyes lit up as he stood on the top step.
Not far away, I saw a group of teenagers wearing gray and white coats, led by middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, walking towards this direction.
Compared with the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, Hyokui's momentum is obviously stronger. This is not only their record, but also the spirit and energy of each team member from top to bottom.
Compared with the finals of the previous stage.
At this time, the Ice Emperor, even if he was just an ordinary team member, was full of energy and high in fighting spirit. Every skin color has more or less traces of sun exposure.
At first glance, they look like soldiers who have been tempered into steel. They are all elite!
And the size of two hundred people is like the king's guard. Protecting the safety of the nine people at the front.
"It is said that Atobe is the king of the Ice Emperor. This kind of battle really feels like that."
not far away.
Saint Rudolph's Moon-watching Tucao.
Akazawa nodded and said: "I'm afraid they are the only ones who can challenge Tatekai Dai this year."
"Not really."
Kanyue said: "The Shitenhoji Temple in Osaka, Kansai, after last summer, also introduced Shishi Raku's ace, another member of the Kyushu duo."
"A thousand years old and a thousand miles away?"
A trace of fear flashed across Akazawa's face, and he nodded: "In this case, the lineup of Shitenbao Temple this year is indeed very scary!"
"yes."
Kanyue said with emotion: "Kansai, Kanto, and even Okinawa, I heard, are also very active this year. They have the momentum to replace Shishi Le and become the champion of the Kyushu region."
Hear the words.
Akazawa couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Be it Hyotei, Seigaku, or traditional strong schools in the Kansai and Kyushu regions. When he said the name of each team, he felt like he had to look up to them.
"but."
Turning his eyes, he looked at the Ice Emperor people coming down the steps and said in a deep voice: "This team can definitely be regarded as the first echelon in the country."
tread!
tread!
At this time.
There was also a sound of footsteps near the steps opposite the Hyokui's entrance.
Everyone looked up, and their eyes changed when they saw the leader, the young man wearing a black peaked cap.
"coming."
"Tatekai Taiya is here."
"With this kind of aura, he is worthy of being a member of the King Li Haidai. His presence is too strong!"
around the stadium.
The faces of the team members from Yamabuki, Rokkaku, Jojo Shonan, St. Rudolph and other schools all changed.
"Is that person Sanada?"
Taocheng's eyes changed slightly when he saw the leader with a tall and straight posture and steady and powerful steps at the front of Li Hai's team.
"The Emperor of Tennis."
Haitang looked solemn and nodded: "According to rumors, he is the strongest player in the country under Yukimura, and the undisputed king of the ball!"
For second-year players like them, Rikkai Dai's name has never been heard of, but never seen before.
some days ago.
Kirihara, who once came to Qingxue to challenge, was only a second-year player. There is no comparison with a player like Sanada.
But Momojo and Haitang asked themselves that they might not be Kirihara's opponents in the actual competition.
Under such circumstances, how strong is Sanada who can control a rebellious person like Kirihara? !
"Renji."
Be different from others.
Qian's eyes fell on the young man behind Sanada who had his eyes lightly closed.
Liu Renji.
Li Hai is a big-minded person.
He was Qian's doubles partner in Green Mountain Elementary School and the one who taught him statistical tennis. In Gan's opinion, if anyone in Japan's junior high school tennis world can rival Hyotei's Ishikawa in the field of data tennis, it might be this person.
If the other party is here, the Ice Emperor's information may have been collected.
same.
Most of Tatekai Dai's information is also controlled by Ishikawa.
therefore.
In the eyes of others, the two sides had just come on stage, and the atmosphere was slightly tense, with a tense look.
However, in Qian's opinion, the showdown between Hyotei and Tatekai Dai may have already started on another level.
I'm also looking forward to it.
With the formation of these two people, what kind of fierce sparks can be produced in the duel between Hyokui and Tatekai Dai.
"Atobe."
"Sanada."
In front of the net.
Atobe and Sanada, who are the team leaders, shook hands with each other.
Crack!
While the two shook hands, their eyes collided in mid-air like lightning.
"Um?"
Sensing the change in Atobe's momentum, Sanada's heart moved slightly.
His eyes were extremely sharp, and he could clearly feel that the person in front of him seemed to be a different person from the one at the end of last week's semifinals.
"In the end what happened?"
There was a trace of uncertainty in Sanada's heart.
Looking at the elegant figures behind Atobe from the corner of his eye, Sanada nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to the showdown with you in the finals!"
"Me too."
Atobe smiled, and he said meaningfully: "I hope you won't disappoint me when the time comes."
Finished.
He turned and left.
Sanada was left looking at his back, his alertness heightened to the extreme.
"Genichiro, what's wrong?"
Sanada returned to the people of Rikkai, and Yanagi asked curiously.
"nothing."
Sanada shook his head and said: "Let Marui and Jackal warm up. After all, the opponent is the Ice Emperor, so we can't be careless."
"Um."
Liu nodded.
However, before exiting the court, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Ice Emperor.
Quite a coincidence.
The handsome black-haired boy opposite also looked in his direction.
Eyes facing each other.
Ishikawa smiled slightly, nodded towards Liu, and turned around to leave.
"That person's gaze."
Feeling the deep meaning revealed in Ishikawa's eyes, Liu's heart sank: "Did he see something?"
Liu felt a little uneasy.
He carefully studied the other party's information and understood the process of the other party's rise. Unparalleled talent, strong perseverance and insight into people's hearts.
In Liu's opinion, if this man really saw something, then the plan and lineup he arranged might be counterproductive.
"I'm afraid. I still underestimated this person."
Taking a breath, Liu turned and left.
As Hyotei and Tatekai both left the field, the originally quiet stadium was once again filled with the discussion of the audience.
At this time.
The broadcast sounded again:
"Next, the Doubles 2 match is about to begin."
"The combination of Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwabara from Rikkai University Affiliated High School versus the combination of Ryo Shishito and Hochotaro from Hyotei Academy."
"Please prepare your team members on both sides."
The words fell.
The eyes of the audience were looking towards the camps of the two teams.
