Chapter 10 Exchange Matches and Doubles Combinations
In order to fill the gap in the match points in his hand as soon as possible, for Keiji Makihara, it is almost time to put the practice match of Fudo Peak on the agenda, after all, the match points can only be obtained from the game.

However, the practice match is not so easy for the current Fudo Peak. After all, Fudo Peak is just an obscure elementary school in Tokyo.

If it was replaced by strong schools such as Hyotei, Yamabuki, and Qinggaku, as long as they let out their mouths, there will naturally be a lot of schools wanting to practice with them.

As for Fudo Peak, that strong school is willing to have a practice match with Fudo Peak.

What's more, Keiji Muhara is a newcomer in the profession of tennis coach, without any connections, so if he comes to contact him rashly for a practice match, most likely no one will agree.

Unless, Keiji Makihara moved out of Tachibana Yoshihira directly, with the name of Kyushu Shuangxiong, there should still be quite a few schools that would agree to practice matches with Fudo Peak.

It's just not necessary.

With Tachibana Jiping's strength, there is no need to participate in this level of practice matches. For a tennis player, only opponents of the same level can increase his growth rate.

It was already a waste of Tachibana Yoshihei's talent to let Tachibana Yoshihei have a practice match with Ibu Shinji and others every day. How could Keiji Makinohara keep doing such things.

It's just that in the entire Tokyo, there is only one player who can be Tachibana Yoshihei's opponent. Tezuka Kunimitsu with an arm injury counts as half of them, and the remaining half is Keigo Atobe who has not yet awakened.

It is difficult to have a practice match with Qingxue and Bingdi, but it may not be a problem to have a solo individual battle.

……

However, although Keiji Muhara is a newcomer, Minetaro Muhara still has a very wide network in Tokyo. After Keiji Muhara said that he wanted to have a practice match with other schools.

Minetaro Muhara quickly found a school for Fudo Peak to hold a practice match, and Yulin Junior High School was located in the same area as Fudo Peak.

……

"Coach Iwama..." Keiji Makihara greeted Iwama Jundao, and told Iwama Jundao about the exchange match with Yulin Junior High School on Saturday.

"An exchange match?" Toshimichi Iwama nodded slightly.

Tennis is not invincible simply by building a game behind closed doors. Some problems can only be discovered during the game.

Even if Keiji Makihara didn't bring up this matter, Toshimichi Iwama would take the initiative to suggest that before the start of the regional qualifiers, let Fudo Peak conduct several exchange matches.

It’s just that Iwama Jundao is a little disappointed, the school that this time has an exchange match with Fudo Peak is not a strong school, and Yulin Junior High School is just a little better than Fudo Peak.

However, Iwama Jundao also understands Fudo Peak's situation, and if he wants to find a strong school in Tokyo to exchange, the other party may not necessarily see Fudo Peak.

Even now, in Fudo Peak, there is Tachibana Jiping, a national player.

"Coach Muhara, have you decided on the candidate for this match?" Toshimichi Iwama asked Keiji Muhara.

"In this exchange match, I plan to have Tachibana Yoshihei as a substitute, and for singles, Terui Yota, Ibu Shinji, and Kamio Akira will play. As for the order of playing, I have not yet decided..." Keiji Makihara touched His own jaw replied.

Tachibana Yoshihei was not allowed to play, not because of Keiji Makihara's intention to hide cards.

It's just because this exchange match, in addition to collecting match points, is more for training for this year's national competition.

"Well, for the doubles team, I think Ishida Tetsu and the others can choose first..." Toshimichi Iwama fully agreed with Keiji Makihara's proposal.

The biggest purpose of the exchange game is not to win, but to discover one's own shortcomings.

The strength of the three of Terui Yota is among the strongest in Fudo Peak except for Tachibana Yoshihira, so there is no problem in being in charge of singles.

"The rules and styles of doubles and singles are completely different. Coach Muyuan, have you considered letting Ishida Tetsu and the others concentrate on practicing doubles..." Toshimichi Iwama suggested.

In Toshimichi Iwama's eyes, the biggest problem in Fudo Peak is that there are no singles and doubles players planned.

This is also the defect of most schools. After all, compared with singles, there are very few players who specialize in doubles. Many doubles combinations are for singles players to form teams for doubles.

Unlike basketball and baseball, tennis games have different positions.Compared with team cooperation, it pays more attention to individual strength.

Even if it is doubles that pay attention to coordination, it is the same.

It's like letting Tachibana Yoshihei team up with any player to play doubles, unless Tachibana Yoshihei's opponent is at the same level as Tachibana Yoshihei, otherwise, Tachibana Yoshihei can directly defeat his opponent by himself.

However, formidable players like Tachibana Jihei are almost always in the singles position.

When the strength of the two teams in doubles is about the same, then the tacit understanding between the doubles combination will determine the outcome of the doubles.

Although he only serves as Keiji Makinohara's assistant in Fudo Peak, Toshimichi Iwama also has his own ambitions, if he can lead Fudo Peak to the national competition this year.

Then there must be some schools that take the initiative to cast olive branches towards themselves.Rather than being an assistant coach, Toshido Iwama hopes that he can become the head coach of a team.

"Specialized doubles team?" Keiji Makihara was really moved.

Let the players form a fixed doubles combination, which can effectively improve Fudofeng's overall strength.Yamabuki's two national-level doubles teams are Bantian Mikiya, who have been trained since the first grade.

However, the fixed doubles combination has both advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage of the fixed doubles combination is the lack of variety, which is easy for the opponent to study thoroughly.

However, Keiji Muhara quickly forgot about this shortcoming.

Fudo Peak is not a wealthy family like Li Haida and Ice Emperor. There are endless talented players. If Li Haida is willing, he can even let Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro serve as a doubles team.

Fudo Peak doesn't have this kind of capital, and the most suitable route for Fudo Peak is Yamabuki's doubles-rooted route.

Moreover, compared with Yamabuki, Fudo Peak has a huge advantage that Yamabuki does not have.

That is the singles player of Fudo Peak, but he is much better than Yamabuki, and his strength is far higher than that of Sengoku Kiyoshi, Tachibana Yoshihei.

After Tachibana Yoshihei graduated, there were still Ibu Shinji and Kamio Akira.

……

After discussing the exact details with Toshimichi Iwama, Keiji Makihara agreed to the plan.
