I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

"By the way, Long Ya, why don't you go to see him?"

In the building in the distance.

Mars, a tall and beautiful young man, looked at the dark green-haired young man next to him with curiosity.

The latter was none other than the key person that Reinhardt wanted to find to help the American team win - Echizen Long Ya.

"Forget it."

Long Ya shook her head.

"Why?"

Mars still didn't understand: "If you don't go to see him, you will definitely regret it, right? I can feel that Reinhardt is a very good person."

"He is indeed an excellent team leader."

Long Ya nodded and said: "If it weren't for him, the ranking of the American team would definitely not be as high as it is now. The team would not be so united."

"But"

After a pause, he shook his head and said: "If we met, it would definitely be more regretful."

After speaking.

Long Ya turned and left, leaving Mars standing there, looking at the other person's back thoughtfully.

The next day.

Around eight o'clock in the morning.

The flow of spectators gathered again near the Australian Open Stadium in Melbourne. The group matches were all over yesterday, and the competition entered the second round. The gold content of the teams is also higher.

Including the big4, many top-level teams in the past have successfully entered the second round.

However, there are exceptions.

For example, the host of this World Cup, the Australian team, which has the home advantage. Another example is the Greek team, which ranks tenth in the world and is one of the contenders for the semi-finals.

Both teams, which were favored by the outside world before the game, were eliminated without exception.

What is even more surprising is that the two teams were eliminated by the same two teams. One of them is the big4 level, the Swiss team, which ranks second in the world in points.

However, what is even more incredible is that even the Swiss team only qualified with the second-place points in the group.

So.

After the game.

Representatives from various countries, including fans, were attracted to this morning's match between the Japanese team and the American team.

At this time.

In the No. 7 stadium affiliated to the Australian Open.

The scale of the venue is naturally not comparable to the stadium just in front. But it is also an independent stadium with a wide venue that can accommodate nearly a thousand people.

Just after eight o'clock.

The area around the stadium was already full.

Many people were looking forward to seeing the super dark horse that defeated the world's second-ranked Swiss team.

"This year's American team is so unlucky."

Outside the aisle above the stadium, two local Australian fans were chatting, and one of them said: "It is clearly ranked fifth in the world, but in the end, it ran into the freak Japanese team."

"Indeed. The situation is not optimistic."

Another white youth nodded: "After all, even the Swiss team lost. No matter how strong the American team is, their captain can't be better than a professional player."

In the eyes of outsiders, Amadeus's defeat undoubtedly broke the backbone of the Swiss team. At the same time, it also raised everyone's evaluation of the Japanese team by several levels.

At least.

Their current strength is already on par with the big4.

"I don't know how long the American team can last in this game. Don't lose 3-0 like the Swiss team? What for?"

One of them was about to say something, but was suddenly pulled off his clothes by his companion. He turned his head subconsciously, but saw a group of young men wearing coats with star-spangled patterns passing by them.

The leader had a handsome face, with a faint smile on his face, and a sunny and friendly temperament naturally emanated.

But except for a few people behind him, the eyes of the others could clearly see unfriendly eyes.

"Who are these people..."

"The American team?!"

The man's face suddenly changed.

Without his companion's reminder, he immediately shut up. He pretended to be nothing and glanced into the distance. But he was still timid and cast his eyes on the American team representative passing by.

"Humph!"

At this time.

One of them snorted coldly.

The man instinctively felt a burning gaze, locked on him. He was so scared that he stood up straight and dared not move.

It was not until the American team representative left that he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up, and looked at the young man with fluttering golden hair with lingering fear.

"Who is that guy? Isn't he too fierce?"

"I don't know."

His companion shook his head and said, "But judging from his position, he should be a junior high school student of the American team."

"Junior high school student? Are you kidding!"

The man's eyes widened suddenly.

He has been playing tennis for some years. Although his talent is not outstanding, he is definitely not a novice. However, the feeling that the man gave him just now was really strong, like being burned by the scorching sun, and his forehead is still sweating.

This sense of oppression and momentum is not like a junior high school student!

"Nothing is impossible."

The companion shook his head and said, "This is a world-class stage, a place for those geniuses in each country to compete. Don't underestimate junior high school students. The one who defeated Amadeus of the Swiss team yesterday was a junior high school student of the Japanese team!"

"What?"

"Junior high school student?"

His companion's pupils suddenly shrank: "What crazy talk are you talking about?"

Junior high school student?

Defeated Amadeus?

Is this fake news that even a third-rate newspaper couldn't make up? !

"Don't believe it."

Seeing his surprised look, his companion suddenly laughed: "No, look over there, they are coming."

Uh-huh!

The man subconsciously turned his head and saw a group of teenagers wearing black and red coats, led by a handsome black-haired boy, walking straight towards this side.

Compared with the American team, this team seems more calm and natural. No matter whether they were high school students or junior high school students, they seemed not to take this game seriously. There was no nervousness visible on their faces.

"really."

After these people left, the man nodded and said: "The Japanese team's players are more confident. From this aspect, the American team is indeed at a disadvantage in this game."

The traditional strong teams are being defeated one by one by the Japanese team. This is an indisputable fact. However, the news that a junior high school student defeated a professional player was still so shocking that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"call!"

Take a deep breath.

Both of them cheered up and prepared to watch this peak showdown between Big 4.

"Now, the second round of the showdown is about to begin."

"Team USA vs. Team Japan."

"Invite both players to enter."

The referee's voice fell.

Then I saw players from both teams walking into the stadium. Among them, Ishikawa and Reinhard were standing at the front.

"The rumors are indeed correct."

Reinhard looked at the boy in front of him and nodded: "The strongest player in the Japanese team is indeed a junior high school student."

while speaking.

He glanced past Ishikawa and looked behind him at the young man with blond hair and the young man with red hair like fire. Reinhard's intuition was very accurate. He clearly felt the pressure on the two of them.

This proves that his concerns before the game were correct. The Japanese team, like the German team, has more than one professional-level player.

This is undoubtedly bad news for them.

Without Echizen Ryuya, just relying on him as a professional player, even Reinhardt is very confident in his own strength and ability. But with one against three, I still feel deeply powerless.

"We can only hope that the head coach of the Japanese team does not put all the team's strongest strength into this 16-to-8 game."

Reinhard sighed inwardly.

Although there are indeed situations where strength is hidden during the game. But he also knows very well that if he is facing the fifth-ranked team in the world, he will not take it lightly.

"Hello."

After thinking about it, Reinhard took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand towards the other party.

"Hello."

Ishikawa nodded.

Naturally, he would not look down upon the young man in front of him. After all, in the original work, this person defeated Amadeus head-on. In terms of overall strength, the U.S. team is definitely a Big 4 team.

But it's a pity.

Reinhardt was later tricked by Ryuya Echizen.

Otherwise, with the lineup of the Echizen brothers, Reinhardt and others, it is not impossible to challenge the German team.

Today.

This team, ranked fifth in the world in points, is obviously in a rather embarrassing situation. Others couldn't tell, and Reinhard hid it very well, but Ishikawa, who defeated Amadeus and obtained the seventh consciousness [Mana consciousness] revealed by the opponent, could tell it at a glance.

His mental power is already extremely powerful.

In particular, the existence of the Eye of Truth and omniscience and omnipotence makes him almost invincible in terms of insight. The addition of Mana consciousness has improved Ishikawa's insight to an unprecedented level.

It can be said.

Even the top professional players may not have the insight he has now.

"Um?"

In this regard, Reinhardt, who has very keen perception, had the illusion that his secret had been seen through the moment he looked into each other's eyes.

"Shin Ishikawa"

Speaking the opponent's name softly in his heart, Reinhard nodded and said: "Then, let us compete with each other with all our strength."

"Um."

Ishikawa nodded: "Then let's get started."

Subsequently.

The two led their respective players out of the stadium. After a short rest, the referee said: "Now, the Doubles 2 match is about to begin."

"Alan Hopkins (senior grade 3) and Rocky Elvis (junior grade 3) representing the U.S. team, and Kanata Irie (senior grade 3) and Nioh Masaharu (junior 3) representing the Japanese team, please do Be prepared.”

"Is it the vice-captain who takes the lead?"

Hearing the lineup announced by the referee, some representatives of the American team showed surprised expressions: "In doubles, isn't the vice-captain's strength a bit wasted?"

Alan Hopkins.

After Ryuya Echizen left, he was the undoubted number two figure in the US team. No matter in terms of personal reputation or strength, he is the first person under Reinhard.

Such a character, in everyone's imagination, should have been arranged to play singles, right?

"really."

After hearing the lineup of the US team, the staff member of the Japanese team adjusted his glasses and nodded: "As we judged in advance, the US team must ensure a doubles victory."

Ishikawa's performance was too eye-catching, and his overwhelming strength was undoubtedly dominant. Even Reinhard didn't dare to collide with it easily.

This way.

The American team must ensure that at least one doubles match is won. What is unexpected is that the opponent actually sent out a master like Hopkins.

"Their tactics should be that correct."

Yi squinted and said: "Seize the initiative, or even win the first three games in one go. Avoid the game and enter a tug-of-war."

It has to be said.

Although the tactics of the United States are very bold, they also have a miraculous effect. At least, Mifune and Ishikawa did not put players of the level of Byodoin or Oni in doubles.

Now, in the eyes of outsiders.

In the doubles 2 in front of them, the American team has achieved at least 70% of the winning rate. The rest depends on whether the Japanese players can withstand the offensive of the second American.

"Irie Kanata?"

On the other side

In the direction of the American team, the black youth Obondu said unexpectedly: "If I remember correctly, this person didn't seem to play in the previous games?"

"Indeed, the junior high school student had a good performance. As for this high school student..."

The feminine-looking Balentin next to him looked at the orange-haired youth who was also short and wearing oval glasses, squinting his eyes and said: "I didn't expect that the Japanese team was really bold. They actually sent new players in a game like the 16-to-8."

"This is the opportunity Ralph said."

Obondu nodded and said: "On paper, our strength is indeed inferior to that of the Japanese team. But as long as we can use the appearance list reasonably and flexibly, the disadvantage can also be turned into an advantage."

That's right.

The tactics of the American team are very old-fashioned, that is, to play the first three tricks in one go. But the more simple the tricks are, the more miraculous the results are.

At least, in the eyes of the American players, they have won more than 70% of the chances of winning this game.

"Will it really go so smoothly?"

Compared with the optimism of the two, Reinhardt squinted his eyes. He was very good at judging people, but just now, when he was looking at the Japanese team representative named Irie, he was caught by the other party in an instant.

Reinhardt saw it clearly.

The teasing and cunning luster in the other party's eyes seemed to see through his thoughts.

"Irie Kanata."

Reinhardt took a breath.

Although he was reluctant to believe it, his intuition told him that this doubles 2 match might not be as smooth as he imagined.

"Alan."

Thinking of this, the captain of the American team looked deeply at the back of his vice-captain: "Everything. I leave it to you!"

Step!

Step!

So.

Under the attention of everyone, the players of both sides walked into the court.

There was no excessive chat.

After both sides completed the guessing of the serve, they entered their own range.

"The match is best of three sets."

The referee on the high chair said: "In the first set, Elvis of the American team serves, and the game ends!"

As soon as the voice fell.

The scene quickly became quiet.
