Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 455 The first match against the South African team

Zongyan was speechless when he looked at Mitsuya and how no one noticed the Asian in Ami.

How is this data collection done?

He actually ignored the most terrifying person?
If he didn't know the details of Long Ya and someone else came up, wouldn't it be like pushing others into a pit of fire?

And why is Ryuya Echizen on the team for the exchange competition now?
Could it be because of Echizen Nanjiro's relationship and the fact that my butterfly wings have fluctuated so much?

Zongyan's head was a little dizzy, and he never heard any other information from Mitsuya.

Various emotions kept bursting out from Zongyan's heart. He wanted to fight Echizen Ryuya!
It would be fine if the other party didn't show up. Now that he did show up, how could he let it go?

Otherwise, he would not know when the next encounter would be.

"I just don't know where Echizen Ryuya's strength is now? It should be the second stage..."

Thinking of this, the dim light around Zong Yan began to spread, but was suppressed by him.

Excitement, nervousness, trembling, fighting spirit...

He was filled with all kinds of emotions, but not fear.

This time, he was one of the leaders in the match against America.

Oni Jujiro's main responsibility is to fight against Reinhardt. As long as Reinhardt doesn't play, Oni Jujiro won't either.

Then Zongyan has the right to decide when to play.

"Now that we have met, no matter where you play, I will meet you personally!"

"Echizen Ryuya!"

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, four teams entered the stadium at the same time.

After some exchanges and greetings with each other, the drawing of lots began.

"Our opponent in the first round is the South African team! After our game is over, there will be a game between Australia and America."

Not long after, Kurobe Yukio and Saito Yuki who went to draw the lots came in and told everyone about their opponents in the first round.

"Then now arrange the personnel to play against the South African team."

After speaking, Kurobe took the list handed over by his assistant.

Because the rules of this exchange competition are the same as those of the World Championship, junior high school students must play in every game, so Kurobe asked the head coach for advice before coming.

With a wave of his hand, let’s train our troops!

Three singles can't beat the Iron Man.

Doubles two, Ping Shanzhi and Yuan Zheye.

Two singles, Nagashiro Kite.

In a doubles match, Suzuki is stupid and Samurai Icha.

One single, Tezuka Kunimitsu.

This formation seems extremely risky, but considering that the South African team is not strong, their former captain and the players who participated in last year's World Championship have basically left.

In today's team, except for the main player Shapoka Gorpe, the others are all newcomers or former substitutes.

The strength has declined greatly.

However, when Kurobe's formation list was announced, it still caused quite a shock.

Especially for junior high school students, they feel huge pressure.

Especially Tezuka, he didn't expect that the first opponent he would encounter when he came into contact with the world would be a country's general.

Although he is only the leader of a South African team, the weight of being the leader of a country still makes him feel calm and hesitant.

Seeing their appearance, Zong Yan did not go forward to say any words of comfort at this moment. These things must be faced if he wants to set foot in the world.

And he had more important things to do at the moment than comforting them.

Pushing open the door, Munehiko walked in the direction where Kurobe and Saito left.

"Coach Kurobe, Coach Saito!"

Seeing the two people in front of him, Zong Yan called out to them.

"Oh, it turns out to be Zongyan, what's the matter?"

Seeing Munehiko chasing after him, Kurobe and Saito looked at each other, a little confused.

"Coach Kurobe, I know it will be difficult to change the roster now, but I still want to change the game time!"

Zongyan stated his request straightforwardly: "I want to play in the game against America more than tomorrow against Australia!"

"Please ask the two coaches to switch positions between me and Irie-senpai, and let him deal with Australia's Noah. I think his mental path is the most suitable person."

Looking at Zong Yan's firm eyes, Kurobe didn't see any selfish desires in them, he thought in his heart.

In fact, changing the positions of Irie and Munuhiko will not have much impact on the strength of the two teams. "Kurobe, since Saeki-kun wants to face America, then we agree!"

Compared to Kurobe's deepness, Saito is much more flexible.

"Okay, Zongyan, we agree! And you will retain your right to be the commander!"

With Saito's persuasion, Kurobe agreed, but at the end of his words, he took a deep look at Souhiko and said:
"I don't know what you are planning to do, but if Reinhardt appears, you can't take action and leave him to the ghost!"

"Um, don't worry, coach!"

Seeing Kurobe and Saito thinking that they wanted to fight Reinhardt, Munuhiko did not correct them.

He knows that his current strength is definitely not as good as Reinhardt, but compared to Reinhardt, Echizen Ryuya, who is now the same age as him, is his biggest target.

And compared to Reinhardt's restraint, I am afraid that to a dangerous degree, Echizen Ryuya is the strongest in this exchange match.

……

When Zongyan returned to the Neon team's dugout again, the first game of the exchange match, the singles match against the South African representative team, had already begun.

At the same time, as the game began, the cheers and discussions in the venue became more enthusiastic.

"Is this the atmosphere of a world-class tennis match?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at the densely packed audience at the venue, and suddenly felt a little excitement welling up in his heart.

"Yeah, in comparison, our previous national competitions seem to be nothing."

Yukimura and Sanada also walked up together. After hearing Tezuka's emotion, Yukimura continued.

"Tezuka, congratulations on being able to play on the first day, and you are also playing against the opponent's main general, come on!"

Sanada also said hello to Tezuka. They were rivals in their respective schools before, but now they are teammates for Neon.

"Well, don't worry!"

Tezuka also knows the pressure on himself, so his eyes are always paying attention to the game on the court.

"Oh, it turns out you are all here!"

After changing the entry list, Zongyan returned to the rest area and saw a few of them gathering together, so he joined in.

"Tezuka, this is just an exchange match. When it comes to the real world competition, that kind of atmosphere will be the most intoxicating!"

After greeting a few people, Zongyan glanced at Tezuka next to him and said.

Several people now know what happened to Zong Yan last year. When they were still in the first grade, he had already participated in the World Championships with his senior high school students.

Thinking of this, they were all very envious.

However, after being envious, the eyes of several people were full of fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, Zongyan, we won't let you lead for too long."

Yukimura and Sanada's thoughts at this moment were surprisingly consistent, and Tezuka had the same idea.

Being so far ahead of one of their peers, and now that they all have the same training and improvement opportunities, how could they not catch up.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to challenge!"

Zong Yan also readily agreed to this.

Just as they were chatting happily, the winner of the three-on-one match on the field was finally decided.

"Game, the game is over. The Neon team won without breaking the Ironman, the score is 6-3."

“四国交流赛，第一轮南非代表队与霓虹代表队单打三的比赛，由不破铁人以7-5、4-6、6-3的比分，两胜一负的战绩获胜。”

When the referee announced the verdict, the audience immediately burst into roaring cheers.

"Neon! Neon!"

……

"Neon!"

……

Everyone underestimated the popularity of the four-nation exchange tournament held in Neon. Neon tennis, which had been dormant for more than 20 years, has truly come to life.

In the stands, countless people were shouting at the top of their lungs, and the entire stadium was shaking like a mountain and a tsunami.

The cheers of the neon team echoed through the sky.

Such a scene also made the junior high school students present feel tremendous pressure.

However, all this makes no difference to Zongyan, who is currently teaching several people around him the points and experiences that need to be paid attention to in the world competition.
