King of the Nets: The opening big move is thunder and gossip

Chapter 197 The Four Nations Tournament Opens

Fast forward two days, and the Four Nations Tournament will officially start today. In addition to the sponsor and host Neon, the participating teams this time include the United States, France, and Australia.

Tokyo Ariake Tennis Center Arena, this is the venue for the Shikoku Tournament. At the entrance of the venue, crowds began to gather. They all came to watch the game. In addition to the audience, there were also many sports reporters. They were dedicated to reporting Here comes the competition.

……

"Unexpectedly, just after the national competition ended, the Neon Internet Federation will hold this four-nation competition. I don't know how strong those foreign players are..."

Looking at the lively surroundings, Mamoru Inoue couldn't help sighing.

These years, because Neon Tennis has been extremely weak in the world tennis world, there are no news reports at all. They, the reporters, can only pay attention to Neon’s domestic tennis. This four-nation round-robin match is the first time in recent years that a foreign team Appearing in Nihong, most of the reporters don't know the strength of these foreign players.

"Yes!"

An old reporter next to him heard Mamoru Inoue's words and nodded his head in agreement, and then continued: "In the U17 World Cup in recent years, France and the United States have performed extremely well in the world tennis world, and Australia is also a strong team. , I don’t know if we little guys like Neon can win them.”

After saying these words, the old reporter couldn't help but sighed. Unlike many young reporters who are new to the tennis circle, he is very familiar with the situation in the world tennis world, and he also knows that today's neon, in the world, almost no what grades.

After listening to the old reporter's words, Mamoru Inoue's face also became a little dignified. He naturally knew about the U17 World Cup, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that he heard the old reporter talking about it, he also thought of the opponents of the Neon team this time. , in the world rankings, it has dropped a lot from Neon.

Even so, Mamoru Inoue is still very much looking forward to this four-nation tournament. After all, this group of domestic tennis players has produced too many talents.

tick...

While the reporters were waiting at the entrance of the venue, a bus drove over from far to near.

"This is?"

People's eyes turned involuntarily, staring at the bus, guessing which country's team it was.

As the vehicle stopped, a group of teenagers got off the bus led by three middle-aged men.

"It's the Australian team."

Soon someone recognized the national flags on the contestants, and the reporters next to them also hurriedly raised their cameras, snapping shots at the Australian contestants.

While Mamoru Inoue was taking pictures, he was observing the Australian players. After looking around, he focused on the blond boy walking in the front with a smile on his face.

He could see that not only the Australian players looked up to him, but even the three middle-aged Australian coaches seemed to have a little respect for the boy, which made Mamoru Inoue feel puzzled.

"This boy, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

Just after sighing here, I saw another bus coming to the gate of the venue and stopped. This time Mamoru Inoue recognized it immediately, this is the US Youth Team.

Watching a group of teenagers get off the bus, Mamoru Inoue had a look of shock on his face, because he felt a strong oppressive force from these American team players.

Of course, except for the blond boy with slightly curly hair who walked at the end, he was the only one who looked a little "ordinary".

"It turned out to be him!"

The old reporter on the side exclaimed, which shocked Mamoru Inoue on the side.

So he followed the eyes of the old reporter and looked over, only to see that the person his senior was staring at was the blond boy with slightly curly hair who was walking at the back.

"Senior, who is he?"

Seeing the astonishment on the old reporter's face, Mamoru Inoue couldn't help feeling a little curious about the blond boy who walked last.

"His name is Ralph Reinhardt. He is the main player of U17 in the United States and the most famous tennis genius in the United States. It is rumored that he has not lost a game in the games he participated in. He is known as the most perfect tennis player in the United States. .”

The old reporter frowned. Such a character would actually participate in a friendly match like the Four Nations Tournament. Isn't this a blow to other players?

"Since he is the main player of the U17, why would he come to participate in a competition for junior high school students like the Four Nations Tournament? Isn't this against the rules?"

Mamoru Inoue was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that U17 is already a high school student, so why would they come to participate in the competition for junior high school students? This is not in compliance with the rules.

"Europe and the United States are different from us. They all divide echelons by age. Most of the teams participating in the four-nation competition this time are U14 echelons from various countries. Reinhardt is not yet 15 years old, so he entered the U.S. The youth team is not against the rules."

After the old reporter finished speaking, Mamoru Inoue understood, and then Mamoru Inoue let out a soft sigh: "When I saw him for the first time, I thought he was ordinary, but I didn't expect him to be such a great person."

The old reporter nodded at the side, and said lightly: "He looks ordinary, but he has completely restrained his aura, and this also shows that his strength has reached the realm of returning to nature."

Mamoru Inoue nodded, and then looked at the American team. Suddenly, a young man with dark green hair appeared in front of him in a plaster cast.

This boy should be a neon man, right?Why did you appear on the US team with a plaster cast?

Just when he was about to ask the old senior beside him if he recognized this young man, he heard another exclamation from the surroundings.

"The neon teenage team is here!"

There was a sound of shock, and as the sound sounded, all the reporters turned their eyes to the bus that had just stopped.

At this time, Mamoru Inoue also forgot about the boy from the US team in a plaster cast. After all, compared to the US team, he was still his own country's team, and he cared more about it.

Although this four-nation match is just a friendly match, this kind of match representing the country has a different meaning attached to it. No one wants their own country's team to lose.

"Nobuichi Kanmu, Saburo Mori, Seiichi Yukimura, Kunimitsu Tezuka..."

Watching the Neon representatives walk down, Mamoru Inoue gently read out the names of the players one by one. nodded.

Although most of these players are from Guosheng, they are indeed the best elites in Nihong Junior High School.

After the neon team entered the arena, only the French youth team has yet to arrive.

Fortunately, everyone didn't wait too long. A few minutes later, the French team's bus also drove over from a distance.

When the bus stopped at the entrance of the venue, another group of teenagers got off the bus with firm steps.

"They look so strong!"

Mamoru Inoue felt a powerful aura not weaker than that of the US team from this group of teenagers in the French team.

"That's natural. Their U17 team ranks third in the world."

Mamoru Inoue nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at the old reporter: "Senior, do you know who the Neon team's first opponent is?"

The old reporter put his eyes on the French team members who were about to enter the field, and said lightly:

"That's them, the French team..."
