Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 269 Fudomine VS Yamabuki
"As expected of the Kanto Tournament, it's only the third round. After the warm-up the week before, so many people came to watch."

Of course, Tennis Monthly reporter Mamoru Inoue is indispensable during key matches.

He looked around and saw that countless spectators had surrounded the venue, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, compared to before when he was accompanied by new people, Inoue Mamoru has resumed his solo operations.

Maybe it was because the previous male assistant was not easy to use?
Of course none of this matters.

He retracted his gaze, turned to look at the entrance of the venue, and looked for the two teams participating in the finals today.

At this time, there was a burst of neat footsteps from the direction of the entrance.

tread... tread...

Mamoru Inoue looked up and saw a row of teams wearing green uniforms not far away, starting to enter the stadium and entering the player area that had been arranged.

"It's Shanchui, Shanchui has arrived."

Inoue Mamoru recognized the Yamabuki Middle School uniforms on these teenagers, so he quickly picked up his camera, pointed it at the Yamabuki players and pressed the shutter.

click... click...

After taking the photo, Inoue Mamoru began to pay attention to Fudomine's movements.

"Isn't Fudo Peak here yet? Their minister, Saeki Munuhiko, has taken action against Seigaku and Hyotei before. I wonder if he will take action today?"

Inoue Mamoru, who has always regarded Echizen Nanjiro as his idol, was actually very excited when he saw Neon's first junior high school student to become famous in the world championship.

Originally, he wanted to make a lengthy report on his performance and strength in the World Championship, but as soon as the proposal was submitted, the editor-in-chief called him back.

I heard that someone above was suppressing the junior high school students from spreading this news in order to avoid the brain drain, and did not want the junior high school students to have too much impact due to this incident.

Moreover, neon has long been penetrated like a sieve. Every time a talent appears, some countries are like sharks smelling it.

Therefore, he did the next best thing, and Mamoru Inoue began to report on Fudomine, and reported on Saeki Munuhiko's various strength assessments and predictions.

Just as Inoue Mamoru was thinking about this, the crowd of spectators outside the stadium once again dispersed through a passage.

There was a sound of neat footsteps.

The footsteps were as dense and fast as drum beats, and the sounds gathered together created the momentum of thousands of troops.

"This momentum is truly worthy of Zongyan!"

After Saeki Munuhiko led people into the scene, Inoue Mamoru instantly pressed the shutter of the camera in his hand and recorded the scene.

Saeki Munehiko defeated Akutsujin in the regional preliminaries, and defeated Hyotei's minister Keigo Atobe in the metropolitan competition. These two consecutive tough battles made his popularity and strength widely recognized.

Many people regard him as one of the top players in the junior high school world.

Regarding this game, many people believe that Fudofeng is the more powerful team.

"It seems that Fudomine will be the first team to reach the semifinals!"

Inoue Mamoru thought silently in his heart.

Although there are many predictions about the match between Fudomine and Yamabuki, Inoue Mamoru, who knows more inside information, is not optimistic about Yamabuki.

Compared with Fudoho, Yamabuki is stronger in doubles, while Fudoho is stronger in singles.

But there is one more singles game than doubles. Can anyone in Yamabuki win a singles game against Fudomine?
Inoue Mamoru expressed doubts.

……

"The game is about to begin!"

"Yes, both Yamabuki and Fudomine players are here!"

"Is this Fudoho? It's such a terrifying momentum. The player ranked second in Fudoho is the ace Lion King Tachibana Kippei from last year's Kyushu Lion Rakugo. I wonder if he will play in today's game!"

The two teams shake hands on the court before the game.

"Hello, Banda-senpai!"

Huacun Kui walked up to Ban Lao and bowed.

"Lao Ban, I'm asking for your advice today."

Hanamura Aoi also showed great respect to the silver-haired Bantian Miki in front of her. At the same time, she stretched out her palm again and said hello politely.

"well!"

"Coach Hanamun is really a woman. He led Fudoho to the Kanto Tournament at such a young age. He is really a formidable young man! It seems that I am really getting old and it's time to retire!"

Miki Hata responded to Hanamura Aoi's greetings with a smile, and praised and mocked himself.

"Where I need the guidance of a senior like you."...

Just as Hanamura Aoi and Hata Mikiya were saying hello, the players from Fudomine and Yamabuki were also looking at each other.

"Is he the Tachibana Pei from Fudo Peak? What a powerful aura!"

Qianshi Qingchun stared at Tachibana Ping closely. He knew Zongyan, but he had not come into contact with Tachibana Ping.

……

"Let us contribute a wonderful game, Coach Hwa Cun."

After the two sides had finished their greetings, they each sat on the coach's bench. The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled and said the last polite words.

Suddenly, Huamura Aoi's eyes flashed. She also knew a lot about Yamabuki and their living fossil-level competition.

Even the past events of Yamabuki and Neon's strongest genius Echizen Nanjiro 20 years ago were all known to her through searching information in various aspects.

At that time, Echizen Nanjiro's outstanding strength in junior high school, in Hanamura Aoi's view, was the same as Souhiko's today.

But even so, they still lost to Yamabuki Middle School led by Ban Lao.

Reasonable tactical arrangements and Yamabuki's solid doubles are the source of their greatest strength.

However, she will not raise others' ambitions or destroy her own prestige.

Although Yamabuki's strength is stable, she believes that these young people from Fudo Peak will give everyone a big surprise.

"Now, the third round of the knockout round of the Kanto Tournament will begin, with Fudomine Middle School facing off against Yamabuki Middle School."

"The doubles match for No. [-] will begin first. Players from both sides should be prepared."

The referee's announcement sounded and the doubles players had all returned from warm-up, and more and more people were watching from the sidelines.

Seeing the crowd gathering more and more, and the atmosphere of the game becoming a bit anxious before it even started, Tetsu Ishida and Akira Kamio felt pressure, but then they were dispelled by the surging emotions.

Especially Tetsu Ishida, when he stood on such a stage, he felt that all his previous efforts were not in vain.

Snapped!
A big hand patted him, and Ishida's focus refocused on Saeki Munuhiko standing next to him.

"Ishida, Kamio, come on, the opponent is very strong, but don't feel pressured!"

"Yes, Minister!"

The two of them were confident at this time and responded solemnly.

As Saeki Munuhiko said during the team's training and deduction, Yamabuki's doubles is the second real test they need to face.

"Now, let's start the second doubles match between Fudomine Middle School's Tetsu Ishida and Kamio Akira against Yamabuki Middle School's Niwatomi Inakichi and Kita Kazuma."

"When the game starts, Fudomine Middle School will serve first."

Standing at the baseline, Ishida glanced left and right first, and finally his eyes fell on Kita Kazuma, who was receiving the serve from the opposite side.

After knowing that their opponent in the third round was Yamabuki, Fudomine was not completely unprepared.

Everyone knows that the most powerful thing about Yamabuki Middle School is their two sets of 'national' level doubles teams.

The strength evaluation method of doubles is different from that of singles, which involves tacit understanding and cooperation, as well as serving skills and net skills, as well as various combination attacks.

The power exerted will not be as simple as 1+1.

Even as long as the tacit understanding of doubles is enough and the state of doubles is exclusive, you can touch the threshold of world-class.

homology!

However, no one in today's junior high school can achieve such a state.

In the original work, Shinto Midakichi and Kita Kazuma became a national-level doubles team this year.

As one of Yamabuki's most victorious doubles players, even with Kazuma Kita, who is only in his first year now.

They have also defeated the combination of Fuji Shusuke and Kawamura Takashi of Seigaku in the semi-finals of the Metropolitan Competition.

In the original work, they had very little plot, entirely because of the perspective of the protagonist.

In fact, their strength is not as unknown as their fame.

Aoi Hanamura arranged this match just to let Tetsu Ishida and Akira Kamio feel what a truly powerful doubles team looks like.
