Net King: Absolute Overlord

Chapter 54 54. Preparing for the Kanto Competition
"Is that Yuya Kanbara? Although his height is his disadvantage, he can still become the best singles player in the Tokyo Conference. This year's competition is really interesting."

Yukimura compared the height difference between Yuya and the two of them. Although it was only about ten centimeters, it was already a considerable gap for people of their age. However, the two of them would not underestimate Yuya's strength, at least. Before they defeated Yuya, Yuya was definitely their two strongest opponents in the singles position.

If possible, Yuya originally wanted to compete with Yukimura and Sanada, but after seeing the draw and grouping ended, the two of them left directly, and Yuya gave up that idea. After all, it was considered a defeat. The two of them actually don't mean much. After all, this is a team competition. No matter how strong Yuya is, he can't change the overall situation. If you want to ensure that Yamabuki can defeat Tatekai Dai, Akutsu is really the key .

Now Tatekai's singles cannot be said to be impeccable, but there is no opponent in the junior high school tennis world. There is no way. Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichiro and Mori Juzaburo, these three people are three national-level singles, and they can Having dominated Kanto for 13 years, it can be seen that Tatekai's doubles level is also very high. If it is certain that Nakagaki and Suzuki can win a game, both the doubles and Akutsu's singles are possible to win. As for On Kano's side, it was obviously not enough. Rather than putting the key to victory or defeat on the doubles two, Yuya felt that he had better stimulate Akutsu, and maybe the effect would be better.

Nakagaki naturally noticed that Yuya's eyes had been fixed on Rikkai University. After learning that the principal and deputy ministers at Rikkai University were all first-year students, Nakagaki also knew that there were many good players among the first-year students this year. He even said Even Kyushu's Shishile Middle School has a pair of pretty powerful doubles players.

It can be said that compared to previous years, the days of relying on third-year players to determine the outcome of the game have passed. Even if everyone knows that this situation is only short-lived, there are many talented players among the first-year players this year, and they are rising. After entering the junior high school, they already have what everyone calls national-level strength. However, when they reach the third grade, the situation of winning or losing is decided by the third grade players.

There are talented players in every year, but the number this year is generally larger. Thinking about next year, this year's first-year students will all be promoted to second-year students, and it is estimated that more players will emerge.

Nakagaki is glad that he will soon be entering high school, otherwise the third-year players next year will have to bear too much pressure.

Yamabuki Middle School, which is placed in Group B, will meet Rikkai University in Group A in the semi-finals. This puts a lot of pressure on the Yamabuki players. If they are in the other two groups If so, they are guaranteed to be the runner-up in the Kanto Competition.

"Can't you guys have some ambition? Our doubles and singles this year are not weaknesses. Although Rikkai University is very strong, we do not have no chance to defeat the opponent, and the game with Rikkai University will be played sooner or later. If not We can win the championship, but whether it is runner-up or third place, it doesn’t mean anything to us.”

Nakagaki, who brought the news back, noticed the changes in the expressions of several teammates. Compared to Yuya and Akutsu, who had already started training over there, these second- and third-year teammates may have seen the power of Rikkai, but now they are They were very hesitant. If there was nothing they could do about it, they either had no chance to play against Li Hai in the past two years, or were eliminated by Li Hai. They were already used to losing, and they didn't have much confidence when they suddenly had to challenge the opponent. .

"Akutsu, our most powerful opponent in the Kanto Tournament is Kanagawa's Rikkai University. They have achieved a record of thirteen consecutive championships in the Kanto Tournament. This year, two first-year students in the Rikkai University Tennis Club have become deputy directors. , they are all more powerful than you, if we want to defeat our opponents, you must appear in the doubles match."

"Shut up, you bastard. I will definitely defeat them!" Akutsu didn't even listen to Yuya's words. He immediately went to train. Akutsu, who didn't want to be inferior to others, was already "bullied" by Yuya. It happened all over elementary school. For Akutsu, losing to Yuya is a normal thing, but his goal has always been to defeat Yuya. Before defeating Yuya, he will not lose to anyone else in the game. .

"Kanahara, what you said does make some sense."

Just when Akutsu went to train, Banlao appeared next to Kanbaru and talked about what Kanbaru had just said.

During the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament, Yamabuki used this method to sweep Hyokui. If Tatekai also regards Yamabuki as a strong opponent, then he will definitely guard against their move. After all, Akutsu can do it in a doubles match. Easily relying on his own strength to focus the opponent's attention on him, he will not be prepared for Akutsu's partner. Therefore, whether Akutsu will appear in the doubles is a very critical issue for the opponent. The question, of course, is how to arrange care for the elderly, which is also a very critical issue.

It is not clear yet that the strength of Rikkai University's players is unknown. After learning that the principal and deputy ministers of Rikkai University are all first-years, he directly estimated that the strength of Yukimura and the two of them is weaker than Yuya, but stronger than Yuya. Kutsu is strong, in this case, Yamabuki is still at a disadvantage, so he needs to put himself in the position of the weak to think.

The participating teams in the Kanto Tournament are not as easy to investigate as the participating teams in the Tokyo Tournament. After all, most of the time they are just training. When they want to practice, they will definitely choose a time where there will be no outsiders. , not everyone will be like Yuya, expecting someone to crack his tricks and force him to become stronger.

Yuya has no idea of ​​sitting high in the sky. It’s just that he is easy to catch fish. For this reason, he chooses to create pressure on himself to force himself to move forward. Akutsu, a geek, is actually used by Yuya to force him to move forward. He is a tool to keep working hard. After all, as a genius with outstanding talents, Akutsu really only needs a short period of training to surpass most players. During this time, Akutsu has been training hard, especially After losing to Atobe once during the dormitory, he became even more crazy during training.

Once Akutsu goes to train like this, Yuya will naturally not be able to sit there and waste time.

Banlao is very optimistic about Yamabuki's future. If there are geniuses in competitive sports, there will naturally be mediocre people. Yamabuki has always been a place for mediocre people to realize their dreams. Even now that geniuses have joined, Yamabuki's The mediocre people will still continue to work hard and try to catch up with the genius who can no longer see his back.
