Chapter 143 The No. 1 Doubles Team in the Country, Shishido Kazufeng’s Challenge (2nd Update)
"Marui and Jackal?"
Off the field.
After hearing the content of the broadcast.
Inoue nodded and said: "By placing this combination in Doubles 2, I'm afraid Rikkai will be ready to win the first three games in one go."
"Eh?"
But at this time, Zhi seemed to have seen something and said in surprise: "Senior, why are those two doing such things before the game?"
Um?
Inoue looked intently.
I saw Marui opening the bubble gum, putting it in his mouth and chewing it. Jackal, on the other hand, took out the electric pusher from his tennis bag and rubbed it back and forth on his bald head.
"This is it."
Inoue thought for a while and explained: "Everyone has his or her own way of improving concentration. Whether it's chewing bubble gum or shaving your head, if I'm not mistaken, it's all their personal habits."
People's attention is easily distracted.
The more critical the game, the more likely it is that there will be problems with the mentality. Many professional players will find ways that suit them to relieve stress before games or improve concentration.
I can tell.
This combination of Lihai University is indeed a very professional one.
"Look at the Ice Emperor, it's the same thing."
At this time, Inoue pointed in the direction of Hyōtei.
I saw Shishido constantly jumping, turning his joints and moving his body. Feng, on the other hand, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Chotaro's arm finally recovered."
Zhi's focus was different from Inoue's. She looked at Feng moving his wrists and said with emotion: "After a week of interruption, I can finally see his heavy serve again!"
"Um."
Inoue nodded.
In Hyotei's doubles combination, Shishido is good at fast breaks and has very explosive power. Feng Ze's ability to stably guarantee victory in serving in a game is also very crucial.
Last week's duel with Qingxue was because he failed to score points in the crucial game. Otherwise, Hyokui will send Qingxue away in the first three games.
"senior."
At this time, Zhi asked curiously: "What do you think is the probability of the Ice Emperor winning the first game?"
"About 20 to 30%."
Inoue thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Although Hyotei's team is also very strong, Rikkai Dai's team is nicknamed the number one doubles team in the country!"
"No. 1 doubles?"
Hearing this, Zhi said with surprise: "You're lying, right? Are these two people really so strong?"
"it is true."
Inoue said seriously: "In last year's season, including this year's regional qualifiers to the Kanto Tournament, the combination of Marui and Jackal never lost a single game."
"hiss!"
Hearing this, Zhi's expression suddenly changed.
Not lost a game? !
This is too exaggerated!
You know, even Kyushu duo Tachibana, as well as Seigaku's genius Fuji and the director Tezuka, have all suffered defeats.
One can imagine how terrifying the value of not losing a game is!
"Doubles 2 will field players like this."
Thinking of this, Zhi finally understood why Inoue had expressed that emotion just now.
really.
This kind of combination, which is definitely doubles 1 for other teams, is arranged in doubles 2. It can be imagined that Li Hai Da is determined to win this game!
In front of the net.
The four looked at each other.
Shishido's eyes were fixed on Jackal, while Marui looked at Feng opposite him with interest.
"Marui-senpai, I've heard of you."
Facing Marui, Feng touched his head and said shyly: "I heard from Akutagawa-senpai that you are his idol. You must be very good at playing. I will try my best later!"
"Akutagawa Jirou?"
Marui nodded thoughtfully: "I remember him. His volley was very good. However, he hasn't played much recently, has he?"
"Um."
Feng nodded: "Akutagawa-senpai has been intensively training, but Akutsu-senpai is very strong. Akutagawa-senpai still lost the last challenge."
"That's it."
Marui took a careful look at Feng, whose expression was serious and not hypocritical, and nodded involuntarily.
He secretly laughed in his heart, this second year of Hyokui was a bit too naive. Including Akutagawa, there are indeed a lot of simple-minded players in Hyotei.
"Looking at it this way, in the next game, we just need to restrict this person."
Thoughts turned.
Marui looked at Shishido opposite.
Compared with a year ago, the other party cut off his long hair and put on a baseball cap. The whole person became a little less frivolous, and his temperament became more calm.
And at this time.
Shishido's eyes were clearly locked on Jackal.
"Long time no see, Shishido."
Facing the sharp gaze, the bald boy with wheat-colored skin smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to cut off your hair. Yes, if you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have lost last year."
Uh-huh!
while speaking.
He touched the top of his head, and the sunlight came in, reflecting a dazzling light.
"Do not worry."
However, what surprised Jackal was that the boy in front of him was not irritated, but said calmly: "The winner of this game will definitely be ours."
"oh?"
Hear the words.
Marui and Jackal looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Shishido has really changed a lot."
Outside the stadium, in Rikkai University's camp, Liu Kai opened his eyes with a mushroom head and brown hair, and said: "After losing to Ishikawa in the school trials, he cut off his hair, which seemed to be a way to show his determination."
"Um."
In front, Sanada, sitting in the coach's seat, nodded.
"Looking at it this way, Hyotei's double team can basically be solved as long as they suppress Shishito."
while speaking.
He looked down at his watch and watched the hands turn. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the people on the court who had completed their priority guessing. He said in a deep voice, "I hope these two people won't be too lazy."
Before entering the arena, Sanada had promised to eliminate the Hyokui in the first three games as much as possible.
They promised Yukimura that they would end the game before the opponent has surgery!
"The game begins, and one set determines the outcome."
After confirming the status and position of both parties, the referee nodded and said: "Hyoti Shishido serves, the game is over!"
"The number one doubles team in the country?"
Holding the tennis ball in his hand, Shishido's eyes flashed with a fierce luster: "Let the two of us break your undefeated record!"
Bang!
Immediately.
He hit the tennis ball over.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball that flew out quickly seemed to be tainted with a ball of flame, and quickly fell towards the right front position of the Jackal.
"oh?"
Seeing Shishido's sharp serve, Jackal was quite surprised and said: "I didn't realize that his serve has improved to this level after not seeing him for a year. It's a pity that I am not the same person as before!"
Bang!
Jackal quickly moved sideways, raised his hand and swung his racket, and hit Shishido's serve.
And Shishido responded very quickly.
After clearly seeing the direction of the opponent's shot, he ran over quickly, caught up with the tennis ball, stretched out his racket the moment it bounced, and hit it back with a bang.
Because the time gap is very short and the Jackal's return ball is very fast, in the eyes of others, the ball is even more amazingly fast.
"What an awesome half-volley technique."
Looking in the direction of Tachibana, Liu said in surprise: "Shishido's mastery of timing and skills has reached a rather terrifying level."
The tennis ball is turned upside down and very fast.
Most people can't react at all, let alone run over to catch the ball. This shows how powerful Shishido's half volley is.
But at the bottom line on Li Hai's side, a black figure flashed past, it was Jackal.
"interesting."
He glanced at Shishito in surprise: "Your mastery of volleyball has actually reached this level. It seems that Liu is right. A player like you cannot be put in front of the net easily. .”
Bang!
With his thoughts turning, Jackal hit the tennis ball towards the baseline, the farthest corner from Shishido.
"What a speed."
Seeing that the opponent easily responded to Shishido's half-volley, Hiyoshi from Hyotei's side was surprised and said: "This bald man actually kept up with Shishido-senpai's movements?"
"That's not surprising."
Hearing this, Renzu shook his head and said: "Jackal's baseline defense ability is very strong, and it is difficult for ordinary balls to break through. For this combination of Li Haida, as long as the bottom line is given to him, it is completely enough."
"in addition."
After a pause, looking at Jackal who kept hitting deep baseline balls, Renzu said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, the opponent obviously wants to restrict Shishido near the baseline."
"If nothing else, this should be Liu's plan."
Atobe glanced at the figure standing behind Sanada with his eyes closed in the Rikkai camp from a distance, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes: "With that person here, a lot of data cannot be hidden at all."
"so."
Seemingly thinking of something, Riji glanced at Ishikawa aside and said thoughtfully: "Is this why the deputy minister proposed closed intensive training?"
Even though it was only three days.
But everyone in Ice Emperor knows that their strength has improved a lot during the intensive training process.
Bang!
Bang!
On the court.
Shishido and Jackal engage in a tug-of-war.
Marui and Feng, who are the forwards, are also confronting each other.
but.
Compared to Marui, who was calm and composed, Feng was obviously more anxious. Seeing that Shishido was unable to defeat the Jackal, Feng took action after the opponent hit a shot quite close to him.
Bang!
He took a quick step, cleared the left side of the court, and hit the tennis ball on Marui's backhand.
"this ball"
Everyone narrowed their eyes when they saw this.
"Is this Feng's support?"
In the direction of Qingxue, Qian paused for a moment, and then said in surprise: "It's a very good tactic. Hit the tennis ball on Marui's backhand position. If the opponent wants to fight back, he must leave the right space."
"But."
Horio frowned and said, "In this case, wouldn't the position where Feng-senpai originally defended be exposed?"
"This is Feng's true purpose."
Fuji next to him also understood what Miki meant, and he said: "Deliberately exposing a flaw to allow Marui to attack. And Shido, who is near the bottom line, can take the opportunity to attack and get rid of the Jackal's entanglement!"
Tap! !
really.
Just like what the two said.
After Feng opened his position, Shido, who caught the signal from behind, immediately started surfing the Internet.
He is very fast.
Visibly approaching the net.
"Changtaro is quite good at it."
Hiyoshi looked at the two people who cooperated tacitly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "In this way, Shishido-senpai goes to the net. With his volley ability, Jackal wants to defend perfectly like just now , but it’s not that simple!”
have to say.
At this time, compared with the Fenghedu competition, the tactical quality has improved not a little bit.
at the same time.
This temporarily formed doubles team has become more and more cooperative.
only.
Just when everyone thought that Hyokui was about to take the initiative, Marui, who was chewing bubble gum, pointed his finger at the tennis ball.
Snapped!
A soft sound.
Under the astonished eyes of others.
The tennis ball actually hit the top of the blocking net, and then bounced and rolled along the soft edge.
Snap.
then.
The tennis ball landed on the ground and fell on Hyokui's side.
Huh. Bang!
opposite.
Marui, who was in a hitting pose, blew the bubble gum in his mouth and said with a confident smile on his face: "How about it? I'm a genius, right?"
Finished.
Taking advantage of the situation, he made a scissor hand gesture.
"Forehead"
Feng was stunned.
Shido, who was surfing the Internet, also stopped completely.
The spectators around the stadium looked at Marui with eyes full of disbelief.
How can you still play ball like this? !
