Tennis: Germany's captain creates the strongest era!

Leitru nodded and said:

"It's arranged. The flight is at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. We will pack up tonight and fly to New York tomorrow."

Then, the German team left first.

Beichen continued to explain the next training arrangement to everyone.

He also said that they must continue to practice seriously in the next few days and not slack off.

"Rikkai University has won the Kanto Tournament for the 15th time in a row. With the participation of Kunimitsu Tezuka, Sadaharu Inui, and the golden doubles team of Shuichiro Oishi and Eiji Kikumaru, they must be very confident about this Kanto Tournament."

"Every day that follows, you must stay alert, because your opponents will definitely put you under a microscope for analysis. Don't underestimate Rikkai University's desire to win."

"The victory without any pressure during this period may make you complacent. If any of you have this mentality, adjust it immediately!"

Beichen's words were a shot of adrenaline to the people of Fudo Peak.

Yes.

Rikkai University has dominated the Kanto Tournament for 15 consecutive years.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Rikkai University must be targeting Fudo Peak and has made all preparations.

Therefore, we must not relax our vigilance because of a temporary victory!

"I will be going to the United States for a few days, so Tachibana Yoshihei will be the acting minister. When I come back, I hope to see a different Fudomine!"

Everyone replied in unison:

"Yes! Minister!"

……

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, in the U17 training camp in New York, USA, a young man with a headband and long blond hair was hitting a target more than ten meters away with a racket.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The ball machine kept sending out fast tennis balls, the speed of which was close to 210km/h

, but he was still able to respond calmly, and every time he returned the ball, he could steadily hit more than 9 rings!

""Captain, why do I feel like you're a little nervous?"

A tall black man approached.

The blond man stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took the bottle of mineral water handed over by the latter.

"It was indeed a bit nervous, but... there was also some hidden excitement."

These two people were not others.

They were the captain of the US team, Ralph Reinhart.

And the black man was the team member Dudu Obondu.

At this time, another tall white young man also came over. He was the surgeon on the court, Alan Hopkins.

He said slowly:

"It was normal to be nervous and excited. After all, they were being sent on an expedition by the world's strongest team. Ordinary teams... wouldn't get this kind of treatment.……"

The so-called expedition is actually a friendly competition between tennis teams from various countries and the standings.

Although nominally, it is a competition, both countries will not give up, and will at least show 70% to 80% of their strength in the world arena!

This is because the expedition is based on the results of the game.

And this score is related to the grouping of the official World Cup in Australia.

The rules of the expedition are almost the same as the official competition.

Both sides send two groups of doubles and three groups of doubles to compete in the order of singles and doubles rotation.

And each game is a three-set two-win system, which makes the game more enjoyable.

The only difference from the official game is that the first to win three sets of the five-set game in the official game is considered to be the winner.

For the expedition, you need to play a full five sets, and the points are calculated based on the number of wins and losses in the end.

Therefore, winning all the sets and accumulating five points is the best result.

However, the expedition is somewhat useful for national teams in lower echelons, so that they can quickly score points and enter the group stage more easily.

But for a strong team like Germany, there is no need to play the expedition at all.

Because, according to the points of the previous year, the German team has undoubtedly entered the group stage.

Playing the expedition game again is just a waste of time.

So, that night, when Reinhardt received the expedition letter from Retru, he was very surprised.

"The Germans probably felt that their hegemony was challenged, so... they wanted to teach us a lesson. Otherwise, there would be no reason to launch this meaningless expedition."

Hopkins spoke out Reinhardt's thoughts, and then continued:

"But... maybe the Germans should open their eyes to the world"

"The world's pattern cannot remain unchanged. The strength of our American team will surely shock them. After all,……"

"This is a country with many different races and talents!"

Chicobalentin, who had come over from nowhere, also said:

"The German team took the initiative to launch an expedition against us. From another perspective, it is also a good opportunity for our American team to become famous, isn't it?"

Chico's words also touched everyone's heart.

Whether a team is strong or not depends to a large extent on... morale!

And morale needs to be accumulated through continuous victories.

The American team has just undergone a transformation. This reorganized young team urgently needs a victory to boost morale.

And the purpose of their inviting the German team to play a training match is the same.

In their view, even if they can't beat the German team in the training match, it doesn't matter.

Because the opponent has been the world's number one for nine consecutive years!

As long as the final score is maintained at around 2:3, it will be a great achievement.

Therefore, for the American team.

This game, whether it loses or wins, is beneficial.

And their confidence in daring to provoke the German team lies in.

……

Tokyo.

A plane bound for the United States slowly took off.

On the plane, Beichen was accompanied by Retlu, Polk, P, Bismarck, and Seyfried.

Beichen asked:

"Coach, who else will be on our team this time?"

A regular tennis team match consists of two doubles matches and three singles matches, which means at least seven players are needed.

Leitru said:

"Schneider just came back from a professional tournament. He brought a junior high school student from the training camp, Frankensteiner, who will fly to New York to meet us in two hours."

Then, Retlu handed over an A4 sheet with the order of the players for this expedition.

The note read:

Singles 3: Seyfried;

Doubles 2: Bismarck, Frankensteiner;

Singles 2: P;

Doubles 1: Polk, Schneider;

Singles 1: Beichen Xiu;

Beichen read it, shook his head, and said:

"I don’t think this arrangement is appropriate."

Leitru was a little puzzled and said:

"What is the specific problem?"

Beichen explained, saying:

"Coach, I know very well the purpose of your deployment. You want to stabilize the next three games, so that after the five games, the score will remain at 3:2 and you will be able to beat the United States. But... I think it is still too conservative."

"Or conservative?"

This made Leitru a little unsure of how to deal with it.

Beichen continued:

"The American team dared to play a training match with us, so they must have thought of all the ways out."

"This team has made rapid progress in the past few years and has directly become the first under the BIG4. They are definitely not content with being under the BIG4, so they want to use this game to continue to expand their influence and boost morale."

"In this match, if they beat Germany, it would be a great opportunity for them to become famous. With the level of publicity in the United States, the news of their victory over Germany could spread around the world within ten minutes. This is the result they want to see."

"And if they lose, it is not a loss, after all, they are playing against the world's number one team, Germany. Whether they lose 2:3 or 1:4, they can keep their face, and the audience will think it is justified."

"Therefore, in this game, what we want is not 3:2, nor 4:1, but……"

"5:0!" (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

After these words , everyone suddenly realized.

Indeed.

According to Beichen, if this game cannot crush the American team and make them lose face, then it will be useless.

Instead, it will give the American team an advantage.[]

Only by suppressing the Americans can we make an example of them and let the world know - don't even think about colliding with the German team!!

Bismarck applauded and said:

"Fortunately, Beichen reminded me, otherwise the Americans would have taken advantage of it."

Leitlu also said seriously:

"So, according to your idea, Beichen, how should the order of this battle be adjusted?"

Beichen took a marker and made a few simple strokes on the A4 to adjust the order.���This arrangement of troops, Retulu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Then, he quietly put away the paper.

……

After eight hours of flight, the plane finally landed steadily at the New York International Airport.

Beichen and others walked out of the airport and saw two familiar figures outside.

Schneider, a professional player who was tall and majestic, like a giant.

And Frankensteiner, a junior high school student with an expressionless face and a robot-like appearance.

The two also came over.

So far, the seven players participating in this expedition have gathered.

Outside the airport, a special car for the U17 team was waiting.

After a brief negotiation and confirmation of the identities of both parties, everyone took a car to the American training camp.

Captain Reinhardt and others were waiting at the door. When they saw people coming, they said:

"Welcome to the friends from Germany. I am the captain of the American team, Reinhardt."

Bismarck whispered:

"It should be said that although the American team is a little arrogant now, they still have the proper manners."

Bismarck is right.

Reinhardt in the original book is indeed a gentle and warm-hearted captain.

However, in a match between countries, personal emotions must not be mixed in.

Beichen reminded, saying:

"Don't show mercy because of the other party's politeness, remember the purpose of our expedition!"

Beichen's words were also heard by several people on the American team.

They frowned immediately.

It was not because of this sentence that they felt offended, but because they felt...

How could this junior high school boy speak like a leader?

Logically speaking, shouldn't the captain of the team be the one to remind the team members of their words and deeds and use such an ordering tone?

How could he be the captain of Germany at this age?

Could it be that he is some kind of military advisor?

However, after counting carefully.

In addition to Reiteru, there are only seven people.

This means that the black-haired boy in front of them will also be one of the members of this expedition.

The Americans thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

After a brief exchange, everyone moved to the indoor tennis court.

Reinhard introduced everyone and said:

"This tennis court was built at a huge cost by our training camp. All the materials are world-class and can withstand the bombardment of world-class masters."

"This will also be the venue for our next competition. During the competition, everyone can give their best."

"The World Cup referees should arrive in half an hour, please take a seat and rest."

Although the expedition game is not an official World Cup game, it is also a World Cup event.

The scores of each game must be recorded and summarized on the eve of the World Cup.

Therefore, the referees of each expedition game are sent by the World Cup organizers, and they are absolutely fair and just.

After both sides took their seats, they began to analyze each other's lineup.

As a coach, Retulu had already made these preparations and explained to everyone:

"The seven people in the U.S. team's bench - from left to right, Ralph Reinhart, Dudu Obondu, Alan Hopkins, Chico Balentin, Billy Truman, Rocky Melody"

"As for the last person, I'm sorry, I can't find any information about him.……"

"It was just rumored that Reinhardt had found a helper that even he was afraid of, and presumably, that was him."

Everyone looked at the man, who even Coach Reiteru couldn't find out the details of.

He was sloppy and seemed to be careless about everything. He was holding an orange in his hand, which was bouncing up and down. It was obvious that he was very relaxed.

The German players were very clear about this kind of relaxation.

This was a kind of relaxation that was exuded all the time because of absolute confidence in one's strength!

Even Polk, P and others smelled something unusual from him.

"This guy really seems to be hard to mess with.……"

Seyfried couldn't help but say.

Suddenly, he found that the orange boy, although always indifferent, his eyes stayed in the direction of Beichen for a few seconds.

"Teacher Beichen, that guy...seems to be very interested in you"

……

On the American team side,

Alan Hopkins, who is known as a tennis surgeon, is also good at collecting data.

Before the game, he studied the German team's match list for the past two years and also analyzed the German team's lineup for everyone.

"Just as I thought, the German team did not send out its strongest lineup this time. The junior high school professional player Berti was playing in a tour match, so he did not participate."

"However, Polk, Perfect Quality P, Bismarck, and Schneider are not opponents that can be underestimated."

"They arranged this way, probably to retain some strength and keep a balance against us."

"As for the two junior high school students, Seyfried and Frankensteiner, they are good players recruited by the German team from junior high school this year, but their strength is at most national level, so there is no need to worry."

"Only that kid... I can't find any information about him, and I can't see through his strength."

Of course, the Americans knew that the kid Hopkins was talking about was the middle school student with an Asian face.

From the beginning, this Beichen left a deep impression on them.

They also couldn't understand why the German team, which was famous for its strict selection and elite tennis, would accept an Asian middle school student?

"Long Ya, what do you think?"

Hopkins saw that Echizen Long Ya was also paying attention to Beichen. This was a rare situation.

Because, since he met Echizen Long Ya, he had never seen him show such a look to strangers.

The boy called Long Ya had a flash of confusion between his eyebrows:

"This guy... I always feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

He thought about it carefully for a while, but found that he still couldn't remember, so he had to give up.

"Anyway, no matter what, just follow our previous arrangement, there will be no problem! After this game, it will be the historic moment for our American team to be on par with BIG."

That's it.

After both sides analyzed the opponent's lineup, there was an opponent whose details were unclear.

And at this time, the referee assigned by U17 finally arrived.

The game between the tennis hegemony Germany team and the new powerhouse United States team kicked off.
