#168 - The challenge is over, Ryoma appears
On the court.
Echizen Ryoma switched the racket to his left hand, he stared at Genichiro Sanada on the opposite side.
Immediately, he flicked his wrist and tossed the tennis ball high.
Bang, the ball spun rapidly, even causing the surrounding air to fly along with it.
But!
Even if he switched to his left hand, his strength was still far from Genichiro Sanada.
Genichiro Sanada quickly strode and instantly reached the hitting point, then adjusted the angle of the racket and cut it back.
"Its movement is like the forest!"
Swish, the ball was hit back with a stronger spin and finally disappeared on the court.
He didn't notice the appearance of the ball until it landed at Echizen Ryoma's feet.
"The speed, spin, and power are all too weak!
Genichiro Sanada said lightly.
Echizen Ryoma's topspin serve is very strong.
But facing Genichiro Sanada, he is still a bit too weak.
The match continues.
Bang, bang, on the court, continuous hitting sounds rang out.
Subsequently.
The score between the two widened.
"2:0!"
"3:0!"
"4:0!"
"Like a copper wall and iron wall, the current Echizen Ryoma cannot defeat it at all."
Yagyu Hiroshi said, pushing his glasses.
"Not to mention immovable like a mountain, its movement is like the forest, aggression like fire, its speed like wind, Echizen Ryoma can't hit it back."
Niou Masaharu said lightly.
At this time, the match has reached match point.
And Echizen Ryoma has not scored a point yet.
With only the last ball left, Genichiro Sanada will be able to win.
"What's wrong! Echizen, is it over here?"
Genichiro Sanada said in a deep voice.
"It's not over yet! Senior!"
Echizen Ryoma gasped and said in a deep voice.
A light flashed in Genichiro Sanada's eyes: "That's how it should be, Echizen Ryoma!"
The match continues.
Echizen Ryoma's stamina began to disappear rapidly, panting heavily.
And Genichiro Sanada was only slightly sweating at this time.
Kirihara Akaya also said after seeing the match between the two: "I didn't expect the vice-captain to be feeding balls to Echizen Ryoma."
"It's indeed rare."
Jack Kuwahara said.
Yagyu Renji quietly watched the match between the two on the court.
"Ryoma, how far can you go?"
In the blink of an eye, May arrived.
The air is fresh, comfortable and pleasant.
The national tournament preliminaries also officially began at this time.
After having two consecutive championships and the reputation of the Son of God, Rikkai University is even more of a hot favorite this time.
In the preliminaries, no academy wanted to meet Rikkai University.
Some academies even took the initiative to abstain from the competition after encountering Rikkai University because of fear.
As a result, Rikkai University's preliminaries were completely a formality.
After that.
Without any surprises, no school could compete with Rikkai University.
Even Sanada Genichiro, the singles two, didn't need to play and easily won.
By the metropolitan tournament in June.
Rikkai University also broke through with an unstoppable momentum.
Moreover, up to the current position, there have been no defeats.
Once again, a winning streak record has been achieved.
At this time, tennis reporters have already started crazy reports.
[Another winning streak! Rikkai University will be an unmatched year again!]
[The Rikkai University Big Three are maintaining their winning streak even without playing]
Although they reported this way, they actually knew that this was an inevitable result.
Last year, Rikkai University won the national tournament championship with only four people.
After this year's hard training and the addition of new players, it is even more powerful.
Many people even analyzed that this year is Rikkai University's strongest year.
Because the most powerful Yukimura, Sanada, and Yagyu Renji Big Three are the last year to play in the national tournament.
So there are no distractions.
And after a year of growth, it is even stronger and more powerful than last year's competition.
In addition, the new players brought the vigor of "fresh blood" to this group.
Directly make Rikkai University unstoppable!
After Yukimura saw these analyses, he also felt that it was not without reason.
I even agree a little.
However, the main reason is because there is no one who can be called a "opponent'.
After this, the Kanto Tournament.
After winning a match in the Kanto Tournament.
Kirihara Akaya looked at the people around him with a disdainful expression and said: "This year's opponents are too weak, even if we get to the national tournament, it will be easy to win!"
"Too lax!! What you need to do is play every game well!"
Sanada Genichiro reprimanded sternly.
In Sanada Genichiro's view, Kirihara Akaya's words were completely a kind of slackness towards tennis.
To Sanada Genichiro, who dedicated everything to tennis.
Strict requirements on team members are also part of his tennis.
At this time, Kirihara said such relaxed words after winning the game.
It proves that Kirihara has not made an awareness of tennis.
Yukimura's eyes looked at Kirihara Akaya.
"Kirihara, you should pay attention to the way you speak in the future."
Kirihara Akaya nodded quickly after feeling Yukimura's gaze.
He didn't expect the captain and vice-captain to be so angry.
Especially the captain.
"Ryoma, this match against Jousei Shounan will be played by you in the singles three position."
Yukimura looked at Echizen Ryoma with purple eyes and said.
"Yes, Captain!"
Echizen Ryoma nodded.
This is, in a sense, Yukimura giving Echizen Ryoma the opportunity to play for the 'first time'. Yukimura wants to use this to let Ryoma adapt to the game.
The reason is that Ryoma won 6:0 very easily in all the previous games.
There is no so-called adaptation at all, it is completely the difference between an adult and a child.
To put it exaggeratedly, it can't even be considered a game.
And this time, Yukimura thinks that Jousei Shounan is a good opportunity.
The opponent is also very suitable, it is Hiroshi Wakato, who can imitate various superstar tennis players.
Hiroshi Wakato's playing style is one of the most diverse among all competition players.
Yukimura believes that as long as Hiroshi Wakato and Echizen Ryoma compete, Ryoma will definitely gain a lot.
At the same time.
On the Jousei Shounan side, they fell into silence after seeing the battle table.
"Singles three is a freshman?"
Kajimoto Takahisa said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! I'm really being underestimated!"
Hiroshi Wakato said with his hands behind his back in a very leisurely tone.
"Be serious, you might really lose!"
"That's right! Cheer up! We must defeat their undefeated record!"
"You are the players I have carefully trained, you will definitely not lose to them!"
Aoi Hanamura knew that Rikkai University was very strong, but she had great confidence in the players she taught.
Subsequently.
Court.
Echizen Ryoma and Hiroshi Wakato stood in their positions.
The game has not yet started.
There are a bunch of girls around cheering for the protagonist Hiroshi Wakato!
