Sakura Country, Edo City.
Badminton team.
This time it was Watanabe Nobuka and Ikeda Shintaro who participated in the Open.
The overall badminton strength of Sakura Country is average, and it is slightly inferior to Dragon Country.
Ye Gao, the captain of the Longguo National Badminton Team, is ranked fourth in the world anyway.
Nobukawa Watanabe, the strongest badminton player in Sakura Country, is only eighth in the world.
In the competition at Kae Station, Watanabe Shinka was assigned to the dead zone because of a bad sign.
He met Su Zhe when he entered the eighth in the 16th, was eliminated and stopped in the round of 16.
This time it is a home game, in order to prevent the situation from recurring last time.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs came to the National Training Center in a quiet corner of Xiqiu, Dubei District.
The third floor of the indoor training hall.
On the northernmost side is the special training venue for the National Badminton Team of Sakura Country.
In an office next door.
The head coach of the badminton team Yoshiki Nakajima respectfully received the deputy deputy chief.
"Kun Nakajima, this time the Open is held in our Edo. There will be many people watching the match. I hope your badminton team can perform better..."
"Your Excellency, Watanabe Shinwa is already our strongest player, but there is still a big gap with the top players such as Srikans, Sun Chenghu, and Li Ziming...Even Ryukoku has played this time. A genius player who is more powerful than Srikans and Sun Chenghu...So even if it is at home, our badminton team cannot guarantee that the results will be better than last time... Please forgive me!"
"I know this." The deputy chief nodded, "My requirements are not high. As long as I can enter the quarterfinals this time, I will complete my goal."
21 "The quarterfinals..." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Nakajima's face.
"Why? Can't even the quarterfinals get in?" The deputy chief's voice suddenly became cold.
"Sorry! Your Excellency..." Nakajima Kyori exuded fine cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately lowered his head, expressing humility of apology.
"Is it because of the lottery that I can't guarantee it?"
"Uh...Yes." Nakajima was taken aback.
Although I don't know what the deputy chief asked this sentence, he still showed a respectful expression on his face and nodded.
The deputy chief suddenly said, "In this case, let Watanabe Shinka not meet strong opponents in the first two rounds?"
Nakajima was dumbfounded, and hesitated: "This... it's not easy to operate the lottery group."
A sullen smile appeared on the deputy chief’s face and said, “If it’s not easy to operate, it proves that it can still be operated. Don’t worry, Nakajima-kun, I’ll tell someone to do this. Just pretend you don’t know anything. All right."
Nakajima took a deep breath.
Finally realized that the deputy chief wanted to engage in a black-box operation and did his hands and feet on the lottery group...
What he wanted to say, hesitated for a moment but didn't dare to say it.
In the end, he could only nod his head obediently, and said: "Yes, your excellency!"
soon.
The deputy chief left the training center with satisfaction.
Nakajima also walked out of the office and came to the training hall.
Looking at Shinka Watanabe and Shintaro Ikeda who were sweating.
He shook his head, dispelling the idea of telling the truth.
Shintaro Ikeda found out that it was okay. At most, he was shocked, and he would probably accept it.
But Watanabe Shinwa is different.
Kei Nakajima knows Watanabe Shinwa very well.
This is a man who believes in the spirit of Bushido very much.
If he knew it.
There is a high probability that this will be messed up angrily.
"Eh...all for the country."
Nakajima comforted himself.
Decided to carry it all by myself.
...
January 22nd.
On the flight from Beijing to the country of cherry blossoms.
A total of four members of the Longguo badminton team traveled this time.
Li Chunbo, Su Zhe, Ye Gao...
There is also a veteran of the National First Team, Zhang Nan who relied on the internal trials to compete for the spot.
The same as Lai Tianlei when he went to the Xiangjiang game.
Zhang Nan was a little fidgety in his seat.
Tension mixed with excitement.
In contrast, Su Zhe, Ye Gao, and Li Chunbo are three.
Calm down.
Reading books, listening to songs, sleeping in bed.
It's not like a competition, it's more like traveling out at public expense.
This time the competition time was six days like the previous Xiangjiang Open.
The schedule is as follows:
On January 23, at the opening ceremony of the Open, the athletes draw lots and divide them into halves.
On January 24, 32 made 16 knockouts.
On January 25th, 16 scored 8 knockouts.
On January 26th, 8 wins and 4 knockouts.
On January 27th, 4 made 2 semi-finals.
January 28th, the final.
This is also the last game a year ago.
When I return from Sakura Country, the national team is almost ready for a holiday.
The seven-day holiday allows athletes to go home for a year.
The distance between Ryukoku Shangkyo Castle and Sakura Country Edo City is about 2,000 kilometers.
The flight time is about three hours.
Because there is only one time zone difference, there is no need for jet lag or anything.
Boarded the plane at half past ten in the morning.
Arrived at Edo City Airport, it was already past 14 o'clock.
As soon as I got out of the plane, the ground was covered with a layer of white snow.
In the sky, there are also small crystal snowflakes.
The latitudes of Edo and Shangjing are equal.
Therefore, the weather is relatively close.
It's just because the cherry blossom country is an island country, close to the ocean.
The air in the city will be slightly moist.
The temperature is also slightly lower.
However, Su Zhe, they have already done a good job of protection.
One by one was wearing the thick plush cotton coat of the national team, wearing a knitted hat with plush, and wearing warm boots on his feet, and he didn't feel cold at all.
The venue for this competition is Hall 2 of the Yoyogi Comprehensive Arena in Edo.
The athletes stayed in the five-star hotel provided by the organizer.
Although the conditions look good, the organizers are also quite realistic.
Once the player loses and is eliminated, the accommodation will no longer be provided, and the player can only pack it home or bear the cost of board and lodging.
Five-star hotel lobby.
At the time of check-in, Su Zhe and others showed the proof of participation.
At the door, a wave of participating teams pushing their luggage also came in.
"Misbon?"
Li Chunbo recognized the dark-skinned middle-aged man walking in the front at a glance.
When Li Chunbo was still active in the world of badminton, Misbon was just out of the blue.
The careers of the two have a slight overlap.
As for getting acquainted with each other, that is after they both retired as coaches.
"Li Ziming!!!"
Behind Li Chunbo, Ye Gao and Zhang Nan could not help but exclaim in a low voice.
Su Zhe followed their gazes.
But I saw a twenty-four-five-year-old man with a height of 1.75 meters and a grim expression on his face.
When he looked over, he found that the other person's eyes were also staring straight at him.
There was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
"Su Zhe, this guy, it seems that he is eyeing you!" Ye Gao was obviously also aware of it, and couldn't help but say something.
"It's okay. We will meet sooner or later anyway." Su Zhe smiled and looked back.
Ruo Ruo Wu's hostility towards Li Ziming didn't care.
Strong strength is fundamental.
He now has the ability of [Master Badminton].
The world's first person in the previous life can be better than the world's first person on the blue star. I don't know how many levels are stronger.
He even looked forward to meeting Li Ziming sooner.
Let the world's No. 1 stop in the top 32 or top 16, and it is estimated that everyone will be shocked to lose their voice.
If you are lucky, let Li Ziming, Srikans, and Sun Chenghu all be divided into one and a half zones with himself.
In this way, Longguo has a good chance to get two medals.
Become the biggest winner of this Open.
But this possibility is too small, and we can only think about it.
Su Zhe let out a laugh.
"Old Li hasn't seen you in a long time!"
"Misbon, you are still the same, not old at all!"
When Su Zhe shook his head secretly, Li Chunbo strode forward and held his hands tightly with Misbon.
There are many Chinese in Matthew's small country.
Therefore, most people can speak Chinese.
Although Miesben's pronunciation is not standard, there are no barriers to communication.
The expressions on the faces of the two coaches were more kind than the other.
In the depths of his eyes, there are faint sparks.
When shaking hands, they increased their strength, and they were also secretly clashing.
The typical smile hides the knife, the face is at odds with the heart.
"You are Su Zhe?"
Li Ziming also approached at this moment, looking at Su Zhe and asked lightly.
Su Zhe nodded.
"I look forward to fighting 823 with you!" Li Ziming continued.
"Me too." Su Zhe smiled.
Li Ziming couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that Su Zhe's mood was not fluctuating, there was no trace of fear or jealousy.
He snorted in his heart, and secretly said: I hope you can laugh after the game!
Su Zhe also sneered in his heart.
He had seen Li Ziming's twists and turns clearly.
It just doesn't puncture.
Instead, he wondered whether there was a chance to seal the opponent and beat him into autistic children.
In the lobby.
In the eyes of others, the Dragon Kingdom team and the Matthew team seem to have a good chat, and the waves are calm.
In fact, the undercurrent is surging, and it will be triggered at any moment.
Each is making small calculations.
...
After standing in the lobby for a while, two more representative teams walked in one after another.
Su Zhe saw many familiar faces.
Kun Laut, the young player of Su Guo, Sun Chenghu, the strongest of the Southern Dynasties...
When the two of them glanced over Su Zhe, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.
When they were in Xiangjiang, they saw Su Zhe, just like the big bad wolf saw the little sheep, their eyes were fierce.
But now.
As if he was the little sheep.
Under Su Zhe's calm gaze, my heart is chilling, where can I dare to watch more!
Time soon came to January 23rd.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The opening ceremony of the Sakura Country Open and the lottery and grouping ceremony of 32 contestants were held.
When the group results came out, all the players were stunned.
As if received an electric shock.
He opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
