Chapter 402 Warm-Up Match Begins, Japan Vs. Germany

The draw is over.

Representatives from various countries were either calm or excited, and some looked very depressed.

"What bad luck."

Jin Taiyu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that we would be drawn to the Swiss team. Now it will become the backdrop for others in the warm-up match."

"but."

After a pause, he glanced at the back of the exaggeratedly tall young man who had calmly left the venue after the draw, and his mood improved again.

"No matter how unlucky it is, it will be much better than them."

Although the Swiss team is strong, their pressure is not that exaggerated. Only the German team, a terrifying existence that has won nine consecutive World Cup titles and is on its way to ten consecutive titles, is truly suffocating.

Kim Taiyu believes that even the other three teams in the big4 will definitely have the same feeling when they meet the German team.

"uncertain."

Who knows.

Li Chengfu next to him shook his head and said: "The German team is indeed very strong, but if the Japanese team is arranged properly, it is not impossible to win."

"You mean"

Jin Taiyu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in surprise: "The combination of those two people just now?"

Li Chengfu still shook his head: "Although Yuezhi is strong, he is still not worthy of Ishikawa's strength."

"You are not worthy of that guy, but he has mastered the ultra-high-speed tennis dimension, etc. What do you mean?"

As if thinking of something, Kim Taiyu suddenly widened his eyes and blurted out: "Byodowon?!"

"Um."

Li Chengfu nodded.

"If it is a combination of those two people, there is really no guarantee that anyone on the German team can compete. If those two professional doubles players are not present, even Polk may not be able to win."

"really."

Jin Taiyu nodded heavily.

It's very simple, because of the rules, both parties must be a high school student and a junior high school student.

In this situation.

The combination of Ishikawa and Byodoin is absolutely invincible.

But the question is, will the Japanese team choose this combination with a significant overflow of abilities?

Just for a win in the warm-up match?

Li Chengfu also had a big question mark in his heart.

"Team Germany?"

In the hotel, after learning the results of the lottery, the expressions of the three Kurobes were a little unnatural.

As soon as they came up against the No. 1 seed in this year's World Cup, their luck couldn't be said to be bad, but quite bad.

but.

Kurobe, who had a keen sense, found that the expressions of everyone, including Ishikawa, Byodoin and Oni, had not changed much.

"So, what do you guys think?"

Mifune, who also noticed the feedback on everyone's expressions, also smiled and said: "Ishikawa, please tell me."

"The German team is very strong. In terms of lineup, it is indeed the strongest team on the surface."

Speaking of this, Ishikawa smiled and said: "Before the main game, playing against such a team can actually test our strength."

"oh?"

Mifune raised his eyebrows in feigned surprise, then looked at the other two people: "What do you two think?"

"That's what I mean too."

Byodoin, who held his hands in front of him, said calmly: "If it were another team, I would think the warm-up match is meaningless."

"Yes."

Guiya nodded and said: "Either we don't fight, or if we want to fight, we fight the number one team in the world!"

"this"

Seeing the three strongest people on their side expressing their opinions like this, Kurobe and Saito looked at each other and saw each other's shock.

"In that case, do you three want to participate?"

Mifune looked at the three people with interest.

The roster for the warm-up match has actually been initially determined. But these three people in front of him are qualified to allow him to modify the list.

"No need."

But Ishikawa shook his head and said: "After all, it's just a warm-up match. It's enough for me to go. Byodoin-senpai and Oni-senpai, try not to expose your strength. When the group stage comes, give them another surprise."

"Where are you two?"

Mifune turned his head and looked at the other two people.

"Can."

"I have no problem."

The two top players, whose strength and status were second only to Ishikawa, nodded, which can be regarded as finalizing the candidates for tomorrow's game.

"good."

Mifune smiled and nodded: "In that case, you can go back. Be careful to restrain the boys below. After the warm-up match, there will be the group stage. I don't want to bring them back anywhere else."

"knew."

The three nodded and then left the room.

"Head coach."

After they left, Saito said with some uncertainty: "Would it be inappropriate to arrange Ishikawa in the warm-up match? After all, he is currently the strongest player on our side. The more exposure to his strength and style, the better It does more harm than good, right?”

"Don't you understand yet?"

Unexpectedly, Mifune shook his head and said: "The finalization of the final list, including Ochi's participation in the lottery, was all his wish. Our captain, I'm afraid he can't bear it anymore, right?"

Forehead?

Hear the words.

Saito couldn't help but froze.

"really."

At this time, Kurobe on the side nodded and said: "With his strength, after this World Cup, he can register as a professional player. And tomorrow's game is the best opportunity."

"Ishikawa Ta"

Saito's eyes widened instantly.

"Maybe that's it, but maybe not."

Mifune shook his head: "His ambition is definitely not small. Tomorrow's game may also be to attract the attention of other media or sponsors. Of course, it may also be to compete with the masters of the German team. After all, with his current strength , There are indeed very few opponents who can make him feel the pressure.”

And this is why Mifune nodded.

He also wanted to see how big the gap existed between Ishikawa and the top players of the German team. If there are any shortcomings, with Ishikawa's talent, he will definitely be able to achieve breakthroughs in subsequent games after experiencing setbacks.

certainly.

The greater possibility is that with Ishikawa's terrifying talent, he has already achieved his own breakthrough in the game.

Think of this.

Even with Mifune's calm and experienced character, there is a little more expectation in his heart.

A night of silence.

Eight o'clock the next morning.

As the hot sea breeze blew by, the crowd lined up under a huge poster of tennis players, preparing to enter the indoor venue of Melbourne Park.

certainly.

Others dispersed to the outdoor court to watch other teams' warm-up games.

But that number of people is completely different from the people queuing up to enter the venue now.

Nothing else.

The warm-up match to be held in the indoor venue has won nine consecutive World Cup championships. This year, the German team is about to win ten consecutive championships, and its lineup is shocking.

As the time goes.

The crowd entered the venue one after another.

If you look carefully, not only ordinary spectators, but also representatives from other teams are present.

On the left, the captain of the American team, Reinhardt, Dudu and Balentin, stood in the aisle area of ​​the third-floor stand.

"Ralph."

Dudu, a black man, asked curiously: "Why are you interested in coming to watch this game?"

Before Reinhardt could speak, Balentin said with a smile: "You must watch the German team's game."

"Indeed."

Reinhard nodded.

But he didn't explain too much. He just had another purpose hidden deep in his heart.

He wanted to know whether the Japanese team players that Long Ya watched in the video would play in this competition. What is the level of the opponent's strength?

Intuition told Reinhardt.

The reason why his former best friend left without saying goodbye was most likely because of this person.

Click!

Kaka! !

At this time.

The lights in the arena are turned on.

The field at the bottom center looked like daylight. The scoreboard hanging in the north stand also lit up.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Court 1 at Melbourne Park."

At this time, on the stage below the north side stand, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes took a microphone and said loudly: "Now, the warm-up match before this Tennis World Cup is about to begin."

"The Japanese team from Asia is about to appear!"

Snapped!

The words fell.

The entrance light on the east side of the passage came on, and then, a group of teenagers wearing red and black coats, led by a tall and handsome black-haired boy, came out.

"really."

At the passage of the north stand, wearing a red and white coat, with neatly arranged dreadlocks hanging down on his shoulders, Amadeus raised his eyebrows lightly: "That guy from Byodoin has been squeezed out of the position of leader."

After going back last night.

Amadeus went to investigate the other party's information. When he saw his updated age, which was a 12-year-old junior high school student, he lost confidence.

"so."

With a thought in his heart, he frowned secretly: "Is it possible that this is a special plan of the Japanese team?"

He hid the master of Byodoin, but instead pushed an unknown boy to the front of the stage to paralyze future opponents who would face the Japanese team.

It's not surprising that Amadeus has such thoughts, after all, as a professional player, he has played against Byodoin.

He knew only too well how powerful that man was.

The one who can truly defeat and replace him is at least a genuine professional player.

But 12-year-old pro level?

No matter how you think about it, it seems too ridiculous.

"look!"

"They're coming!"

"Japan! Japan! Japan!"

At this time.

South stand side.

A group of teenagers wearing white T-shirts were shouting slogans loudly at this moment.

"Who are those people?"

Everyone who walked into the stadium looked around, and the sharp-eyed Fuji said in surprise: "It's Aaron and Eiji!"

"And Feng and Hiji."

Shido's eyes also lit up.

Other members of Rikkai University and Shitenhoji Temple also saw people they were familiar with.

"Is everyone here too?"

Shiraishi smiled and glanced at Toyama behind him, who was eager to try: "In this case, Kintaro will probably be more motivated later, right?"

"good."

Atobe lifted his hair slightly and said with a smile: "I was worried that no one would cheer us on later. Now, there is no need to worry about being left out."

Yukimura, Sanada, Tachibana and others also looked confident.

From the national competition to U17, they have grown so much. He also proved his strength in the competition with high school students.

now.

Everyone wants to compete with the strongest German junior high school student in the world!

Snapped.

And this time.

Another name appeared on the scoreboard of the North Stand.

The host's voice also sounded: "Next, the German team that has won the World Cup for nine consecutive times will be on stage!"

Click!

Suddenly.

The lights in the west entrance passage are turned on.

Then, a group of teenagers wearing black coats, with a heavy imposing manner and a sense of oppression, walked into the competition venue, led by a bald young man with a thin cheek but extremely sharp eyes.

"finally come."

In the east stand, a blond young man wearing a blue, white and red jacket, gently stroking the racket in his hand, said with a smile: "These guys are the biggest obstacle to our revolution."

"Um."

The two young men next to him nodded heavily.

They are none other than the French team from the big4. Not only the hair of the young man who spoke before, but also his eyebrows and eyelashes were golden. The tone of his speech was gentle and calm, but it gave people an aura that was not angry but powerful.

It was none other than the leader of the French team, a top player named Leopold Camus.

"This year's German team is not that strong."

Next to Camus, a handsome young man wearing only a French team jacket, revealing his internal streamlined muscles, said in a deep voice.

Tristan Barthes, one of the top players of the French team.

"really."

Another young man with curly hair hanging down on the left side and a more melancholy expression also nodded heavily.

Dimodity Morrow.

Another top player on the French team.

The combination of three people can be said to be the strongest presence of the French team. Especially the leader Camus, there are rumors that he is also a top player who has reached the professional level.

but.

Even if they are also a big4 team.

Several people still felt an indescribable sense of oppression against the black army in front of them.

"This year's German team is indeed too strong."

Moro said with emotion: "It's a pity that it would be great if the Swiss team or the British team played. In that case, the specific strength of the German team can be tested."

"Um."

Bart nodded.

The second-ranked Swiss team is indeed the team most suitable to play against the German team. Especially for the two teams, it would be better if both teams lost in the warm-up match.

As for the British team.

Basically, any French team player will not treat those guys.

"Actually, that may not be the case."

At this moment.

Camus suddenly said: "Don't forget, that guy is in the Japanese team."

"Um?"

Hear the words.

Bart and Morrow's expressions changed slightly, and their eyes subconsciously locked on the tall young man in the Japanese team.

"Duke. It's really him!"

see each other.

The expressions of the two people were very complicated.

In fact, the strength of the two of them is not at the same level as Camus. But the original French team had players with [the strongest twin stars in Europe].

One is Camus.

And the other person is the fat, white man below—Duke!

"If I remember correctly, he traveled across the ocean to Japan to follow someone."

At this time, Camus changed the topic: "However, judging from the situation just now, it seems that that person is no longer the leader of the Japanese team."

What? !

As soon as these words came out.

Bart and Morrow's expressions suddenly changed. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Could it be that there is a third player in the Japanese team who can rival Duke in strength?"
