Tennis: one step ahead

Lounge for the French U-17 team.

"Camus-senpai, what do you think, can Duke-senpai win?".

Delacroix looked at it for a moment, but didn't see why, so he asked Camus beside him.

His eyesight is not enough, and he only feels that the Phoenix of Byodoin and Duke Watanabe are evenly matched, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Who will be the winner in the end, now he can't give a clear answer.

Such a fierce competition greatly surprised him.

Unexpectedly, this year's Neon U-17 team is so strong.

"The opponent is attacking fiercely and has the initiative in the game, while Duke, on the other hand, has been trying his best to defend. "

"In this game, he was in danger. "

Camus opened his mouth and said something he was very reluctant to say.

His level is not comparable to that of Delacroix, and he sees the essence behind it at a glance through the illusion of equal strength in the field.

The probability of losing for the French U-17 team may be even greater.

Now, the race has just begun.

Duke Watanabe certainly hides some of his strength, but judging from the relaxed performance of the Byodoin Phoenix, he may have more hidden strength.

Camus had a strong feeling that the whole world would be shocked when the Phoenix of the Equality House revealed its full strength.

"What?".

For a moment, the eyes of most of the people in the lounge were focused on Camus.

What he means is that Duke Watanabe will lose?

"Camus, Duke Watanabe is the main force of our U-17 team, how can we lose to the Neon ......."

A certain third-year high school player subconsciously wanted to refute Camus.

But halfway through the conversation, he stopped abruptly.

The French team is a powerhouse in the U-17 World Cup and a regular in the top four.

The Neon U-17 team is just a team that ranks outside the twenties all year round and ranks at the bottom.

Against such a team, they are likely to lose?

The answer is, yes.

Before the end of the

third singles of the two teams, the French U-17 team went up to the coach, the main player, Camus, and the substitutes and juniors such as Delacroix.

Everyone thought it was a win-winning game and that it would be easy for them to win the game.

But the result?

The French U-17 team lost two games in a row in singles, and was forced to the edge of the cliff by their underestimated bottom-of-the-line team.

At this moment, who dares to say that Duke Watanabe will definitely win the Phoenix of Byodoin?

"The Lord. "

Delacroix and the others looked away from Camu and turned to their own commander.

The strength of the main general is stronger than the current Camus.

Could his opinion be different from Camus's?

"Hey. "

Facing the expectant eyes of the players, the French U-17 team leader sighed secretly in his heart.

Even Camus could see that the situation was very unfavorable for Duke Watanabe, so how could he not see it?

Camus is right, this first singles match, Duke Watanabe is in danger.

"Trust Duke, he's the wreaking king of the French U-17 team. "

“......"

The attention of Delacroix and the others returned to the big screen set up in the center of the break room to play the game.

Their faces were surprisingly consistent, gloomy and dripping.

None of the people present were fools, how could they not hear the voice of the main general?

The main general has the same opinion as Camus, and is not optimistic about Duke Watanabe.

Despite the heavy mood, no one said anything, and everyone was watching the game intently.

Until the moment when the victory is revealed, they will not give up hope.

As the Lord General just said, trust Duke Watanabe.

If they don't trust Duke Watanabe either, along with being a member of the French U-17 team, who will have faith in him?

......

Playing field.

Bang.

The tennis ball crossed Duke Watanabe, hit the baseline with unmistakable accuracy, and then flew off the court.

"GAME, Byodoin Phoenix, score 1-0. "

After ten minutes of fierce battle, the first game of the game came to an end.

Byodoin Phoenix held their serve and managed to win a point.

In the second game, it was the turn of the French U-17 team to serve.

Duke Watanabe silently walked back to the baseline, took out the tennis ball, and turned back to face the direction of the net.

It's just a small game, even if it's a lot of intense process, but it's nothing to the players in the U-17 World Cup.

In particular, Duke Watanabe is not an ordinary player, he is at the main level of the strong team, and his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary players.

However, now Duke Watanabe has a few drops of sweat on his face.

The amount of sweat is not large, but it is enough to show how great the pressure brought to him by the Phoenix of the Equality Academy.

"If it goes on like this, it's very bad for me. "

Duke Watanabe raised his hand and threw the tennis ball.

Immediately afterward, the racket is buckled from top to bottom on the falling tennis ball.

Bang.

The

tennis ball suddenly accelerated, causing a whistling sound of breaking wind and bursting into the half court of Byodoin Phoenix like a cannonball.

"If you only have this strength, I advise you to simply admit defeat and save time in the process. "

Byodoin Phoenix smiled lightly and played back to tennis, effortlessly.

"Hmph. "

Duke Watanabe snorted coldly, not responding to the provocation of the Byodoin Phoenix.

It's just a means to hit the opponent's psychology, and he won't take the bait.

Compared with the advantage of tongues, defeating the Phoenix of Byodoin is the most powerful counterattack.
