Chapter 713: Amazing lineup
Atobe Keigo on the side snorted coldly and glanced at Guan Yuechu with disdain, "You can't even get past Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others, and you still have the nerve to discuss Lin Nan here? Who gave you the courage to make irresponsible comments about this tennis expert who is considered the best in the world!"
Hearing this, Guan Yuechu's face darkened, but before he could open his mouth to refute, Atobe immediately mocked him, "Guan Yuechu, huh? I remember that you couldn't even enter the national competition, right? With this little bit of strength, where do you get the confidence to brag here?"
At this time, Higa Junior High School player Kimute Nagashiro, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly interrupted and said, "That's right! Lin Nan is the idol of many tennis fans. It is a great humiliation to him to speak like this."
As he said that, he turned to look at his teammate Tian Ren Zhihui beside him and asked, "Tian Ren, don't you think so?"
Tian Renzhihui nodded without hesitation and responded, "That's right! I really want to use our Okinawan martial arts to teach this guy a lesson and let him know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
"Instead of arguing about this, let's guess whether Seigaku's lineup will play."
Atobe interrupted the noisy conversation and looked straight at the entrance with his icy blue eyes: "The match between Tezuka and Yukimura, this is what we have been looking forward to for a long time."
Beep!
At this time, the battle lists of both sides appeared on the big screen.
Singles three: Genichirō Sanada (third grade of junior high school) VS Kunimitsu Tezuka (third grade of junior high school).
Doubles 2: Yanagi Renji (third grade of junior high school), Kirihara Akaya (second grade of junior high school) VS Inui Sadaharu (third grade of junior high school), Kawamura Takashi (third grade of junior high school).
Singles 2: Niou Masaharu (third year of junior high school) VS Fuji Shusuke (third year of junior high school).
Doubles 1: Marui Bunta (third grade), Jackal Kuwahara (third grade) VS Kikumaru Eiji (third grade), Oishi Shuichiro (third grade).
Singles: Yukimura Seiichi (third grade) VS Echizen Ryoma (first grade).
When the lineup was revealed, the entire arena seemed to be ignited instantly, causing an uproar.
Especially in the viewing area where the players from each school were, it was like a boiling pot, and the reaction was extremely intense.
"Oh my God! How is this possible... They actually let Echizen Ryoma play one-on-one? Does Qingxue want to avoid a head-on confrontation?" He exclaimed in disbelief.
"Echizen Ryoma? Isn't that Lin Nan's younger brother?" Another person seemed to know something about him, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Look, the third singles match is actually between Tezuka and Sanada! This match is bound to be very exciting!" Another person shouted excitedly, pointing at the match schedule.
Then, a discussion broke out in the crowd: "I also heard that the candidate for the singles match this time was arranged by Lin Shen himself. And it is said that from the beginning, he did not intend to let Tezuka Kunimitsu play the singles match. Instead, he first let Echizen Ryoma and Toyama Kintaro compete, and finally determined the position of the singles match based on the results."
"No way? Is this true or false? Could it be that Master Lin is doing this to train the future star of Qingxue?" someone raised the question.
But soon someone responded: "That's fine, the next games should be exciting anyway."
Just like that, this shocking news, like a bombshell, quickly attracted the attention of all teams.
You know, everyone present knew who Tezuka Kunimitsu was.
However, who could have thought that Lin Nan would make such an unexpected decision. After all, for Qingxue, this is a great opportunity to achieve the fourth consecutive championship!
The four-star youth school is already within reach, who would have thought that Lin Nan actually possessed such amazing courage and bravery!
He actually arranged for Ryoma to have a fierce duel with Yukimura Seiichi.
From the battle table we just saw, we can clearly see that Rikkai University's original plan should be to avoid a head-on confrontation with Seigaku as much as possible, but what is unexpected is that their lineup adjustment just happened to coincide with Seigaku's changes, as if it was a trick of fate.
At this time, Atobe Keigo could not help but slightly frown his handsome brows, staring sharply at the person who brought the news in front of him, questioning: "Is the news you provided true or just hearsay?"
The man quickly responded, "This is absolutely true! My brother is a third-year member of the Qingxue Tennis Club. He was there and witnessed the entire match. It was so exciting that it was hard to take it all in! And the referee for that match was Tezuka himself!"
Hearing this, Atobe Keigo began to ponder in his heart.
Since even Tezuka has personally come out to serve as the referee, this news is probably not false.
It is obvious that Lin Nan is carefully laying the foundation for Qingxue's path forward in various ways.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who was standing by, also cast his gaze towards the stadium thoughtfully, and slowly said, "Considering Yukimura's current strong level, isn't it a bit too risky to just let Echizen Ryoma rush into battle?"
Someone nearby nodded in agreement, "That's true. According to common sense, the possibility of Rikkai University defeating Seigaku is already quite slim. Judging from the current situation, perhaps the entire tournament may end before the second singles match begins. In this case, the outcome of the first singles match does not seem to be as crucial as imagined, right?"
"That's true. Judging from the strong strength that Seigaku has shown so far, it would be quite difficult for them to compete with Rikkai University and delay the match to a singles match!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, instantly plunging everyone present into silence.
In fact, this statement is indeed true.
After all, the strength of Seigaku has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and everyone is well aware of the challenges and growth process that Rikkai University has experienced over the years.
It is worth mentioning that Ryoma Echizen should not be underestimated either.
Especially those players from the Kanto region, their understanding of Ryoma is obviously much better than that of people from other regions.
In particular, the thrilling contest between him and Sanada still makes people feel exciting and memorable when they think about it today.
At this time, someone suggested: "In this case, why don't we discuss the match between Sanada and Tezuka in the upcoming three singles matches."
Hearing this, there was an immediate echo from the crowd.
Then someone else added: "As far as I know, the two of them have never faced each other in a formal competition. There are rumors that they once played against each other in elementary school."
The person who spoke was none other than Sengoku Kiyomizu from Yamabuki Junior High School.
