I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 454: First in Group, New Opponent

"Alexander (the main general) actually lost?!"

Off the field.

The Swiss team's representatives looked stunned.

In their eyes, Amadeus is a god-like existence. It is his professional status that allows the Swiss team to secure the No.4 position in the big four.

Simultaneously.

It also makes them proud of their team.

It can be said that among all the teams in the World Cup, only the German team can make them feel a little apprehensive. The other opponents are just some insignificant roles played by the Swiss team in this year's World Cup.

however.

They were full of confidence and almost all of their elite players were sent out, but in the official match, they were beaten three times in a row by the Japanese team, which was 20 places behind them in the ranking.

Lambiel, Henry.

Federer, Pugu.

These people are the most elite players of the Swiss team. Even if they are placed in other teams, they are the absolute main force. It is not an exaggeration to treat them as core players.

Plus Amadeus, a professional master.

With such a lineup, they were confident that they could compete with the German team even if they met them. In the end, no one expected that they would suffer such a crushing defeat.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe such a score. Even without looking at the team names, you would think that the score of the game was reversed.

But that's what it is.

The Swiss team lost, and was truly defeated by their opponents. Especially in the singles match 3, their main player was undoubtedly completely crushed.

"Ishikawa Shin."

Feeling that there was very little energy left in his body, Amadeus raised his head with difficulty and stared at his opponent.

It’s so frustrating.

He clearly felt that his mental power had undergone a transformation after being tempered in the illusion. If he could fully unleash it, he might be able to lock onto Ishikawa's attack in the 10-body area.

but.

The opponent shattered his unrealistic idea with just one serve.

powerful!
too strong!
At this moment, in Amadeus' eyes, Ishikawa's image became even more mysterious. Looking at his opponent's calm and composed appearance, he even had a vague suspicion that the opponent was still hiding!
"If he has even stronger abilities besides the Anuttara-vijnana and the Alaya-vijnana"

Think of this.

The captain of the Swiss team couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

terrible!

He had never seen a person as calm and well-hidden as him. What was even more terrifying was his age, which made him feel palpitating.

12 years old!
After searching through the entire history of tennis, he still couldn't find a character who could compare to the other player.

Not surprisingly.

The future of tennis will definitely be under the domination of the other side.

"The premise is"

Taking a deep breath, an image of a bald man with a thin face and sharp eyes appeared in Amadeus' mind.

"If he can beat that guy, then he will have grasped the key to dominating tennis."

Unlike Amadeus.

The "Philosopher of Victory" of the German team is a top-level professional. In this summer's German competition, he even defeated Novak Brynner, who was ranked first in the world.

It can be said.

In today's World Cup, the opponent is the only true god-like existence. It is a mountain that other players cannot cross.

In the history of tennis, there has never been a shortage of super newcomers who are sought after by the media but are suppressed by veterans who have reached retirement age.

"Well."

but.

When Ishikawa turned his gaze and the two looked at each other, Amadeus' heart trembled again.

This moment.

He actually had the illusion that his thoughts were completely seen through by the other party.
"No!"

"It's not an illusion!"

Amadeus subconsciously clenched his fists, and a thought emerged in his heart: "He has more hidden strength than I thought. Maybe even that person can't stop him!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!!"

In the stands.

A group of young men wearing coats with the Stars and Stripes pattern appeared from the passage above. The leader, a pretty young man with a bun, said anxiously, "I heard that the Swiss team has lost two games in a row. Now it's the third singles match. Amadeus has been forced to use the right to replace players."

Chico Balentin.

One of the main players of the US team.

The others were also masters of the American team. They had just finished their match with the Indian team and rushed over as fast as they could.

"No need to worry."

A broad-faced, freckled blond young man smiled and said, "Amadeus is a professional player. Even if he can't beat the Japanese team's leader, he will definitely be able to hold out for a long time."

Alan Hopkins.

The vice-captain of the American team is also very strong. It was he who defeated the strongest player of the Indian team, Tarun Sharma.

After the game.

The captain of the Indian team was sent directly to the hospital. Rumor has it that the situation is quite serious. It can be seen how terrible this young man who smiles naturally is.

"Alexander Amadeus. He's a professional."

Among several people.

A black youth with dreadlocks tied up and rising into the sky like a broom also spoke up: "No matter how strong that guy called Ishikawa is, he can't win in 30 minutes, right?"

"Forehead"

But at this moment, the tall blond young man walking in front paused.

"What's wrong Ralph?"

Balentin asked curiously.

"ended."

The blond young man with a white headband on his head, Ralph Reinhardt, the captain of the American team, said in a deep voice.

"Amadeus lost!"

"what?!"

"How can it be!"

Hear the words.

The eyes of the American team representatives all trembled.

That's Amadeus!

In this year's World Cup, besides Germany's Polk, he is the only high school student with a professional status (singles). It can be said that he is second to none.

Even though they were very confident in Reinhardt, they were not sure whether he could defeat Amadeus. Even if he could win, the time it would take would definitely be a terrifying number.

but.

How long has this game been over?
Could 20 minutes have passed since they heard Amadeus was on the field?
This match time is too exaggerated. If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Looking at the scores on the electronic scoreboard, everyone was shocked again.

"1-6?!"

Hopkins narrowed his eyes, and an extremely strong sense of fear arose in his heart.

Just now, he had defeated the Indian team's main player. His old illness recurred and he fell to the ground, but when he was carried away, he turned around and told him about the horror of the Japanese team.

Especially this guy named Ishikawa, he will make the American team pay a heavy price.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously at all, thinking it was just nonsense after the other party was defeated.

but now.

After witnessing Ishikawa defeat Amadeus with his own eyes, he completely put away his contempt.

"Shin Ishikawa!"

Standing on a high place, Reinhardt's eyes were fixed on the black-haired boy on the court. "The match between Switzerland and Japan in Group B of this group stage has come to an end."

On a high chair.

The referee said with a serious face: "Japan wins 3-0!"

This statement came out.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed even heavier.

Only in a corner of the stands were the high school and middle school substitute representatives of the Japanese team celebrating.

"The Swiss team lost"

Although it was only a group stage match, it did not mean that the Swiss team would show its full strength. However, the faces of the representatives from other countries all looked extremely solemn.

Because they know that the Swiss team's lineup in this game can be said to be at least 85% of the strongest lineup.

The only thing missing is the appearance of No.2 Tasta.

but.

This game was Switzerland's third consecutive defeat.

This means that even if Tasta appears on the court, he cannot change the final outcome of the game.

even
Even if Tasta really played, he might not be able to win against the main players of the other two teams of the Japanese team.

Oni Jujiro has already proven himself in the match against Zeus, the captain of the Greek team. Although Byodoin has not yet had a real record of his shots, no one doubts his strength as he was the No. 1 player of the Japanese team.

"It seems that they are the most terrifying dark horses in this World Cup!"

Reinhardt spoke.

He was usually optimistic and smiling, but at this moment his expression looked very serious.

Because he could already feel that in the upcoming finals, his team might meet the team in front of him in the quarterfinals or semifinals.

You know, even the incomplete Japanese team had already defeated the Swiss team, which had almost all of its top players. If they were to face the all-out Japanese team, even if Reinhardt was confident in the U.S. team's lineup, he wouldn't dare to say they could win.

What’s more crucial is that Ryuga Echizen, who was originally the most important part of his plan, disappeared without a trace.

This completely disrupted Reinhardt's plans.

It also made him feel very uncomfortable when deploying his troops for every game.

"Let's go back."

As the American players entered the stands, Reinhardt shook his head and said, "We don't have time to waste here."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Ralph he."

Balentin was stunned: "It's just a game. Even if we play, we can beat the Swiss team!"

Hear the words.

The black youth Dudu Obondu next to him scratched his head with a wry smile, and Hopkins also smiled helplessly.

Although what Balentin said was actually one of the tactics they had formulated for this World Cup, it was still a bit too arrogant to say it out loud.

"Maybe his mind is not on the game."

Turning his head and glancing at Reinhardt's back, Hopkins shook his head and said, "Let's go back too. Don't embarrass Ralph."

"Ah."

The others nodded.

They all knew that their captain and coaching staff were unhappy because of some issues. It was just because of Reinhardt's indispensability and his strong cohesion for the team.

Otherwise, their commander would have changed his name long ago.

therefore.

The others, led by Hopkins, were doing their best to help Reinhardt maintain his authority as captain. They always liked to run around, but they seemed to be particularly well-behaved in recent days.

They didn't want to affect Reinhardt's plan because of themselves.

"but."

Looking at Reinhardt's back again, a sharp look flashed in Hopkins' eyes.

Because he vaguely guessed what the other party was going to do next.

"Won!!!"

When the American team left, the Japanese team representatives outside the stadium looked at their returning captain in awe, expressing their admiration and emotion.

When more people looked at Ishikawa, their eyes became more awed.

Before this.

Although the opponent defeated Byodoin, Oni, Qp and others, he still could not be regarded as a professional player. At least in the subconscious of many people, the gap between professional and non-professional is still very large.

but.

This game fully demonstrated Ishikawa's strength.

Defeating Amadeus would mean that he was no longer the professional master secretly believed to be, but a genuine professional.

The most noticeable change is the crazy flashing lights around.

That's right.

At this time, Ishikawa had become a hot rising star in the eyes of the media. Especially because of his exaggerated age, all the major media had even thought of what kind of headlines to use.

As a result, they were disappointed.

Ishikawa, who defeated Amadeus and led Japan to its third victory in the group stage, ignored the reporters who were about to approach him and stood behind Mifune and left with the team.

In this regard.

Including the head coach of the Swiss team, as well as players such as Amadeus and Tasta, their opinions of Ishikawa are undoubtedly higher.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the team that can stop the record of the King's Ten Consecutive Championships is the Japanese team led by this guy!"

The old man spoke quietly.

Others nodded in approval.

of course.

They didn't give up either.

This is just a group stage match, and what follows is the real elimination stage with no way out.

According to the group ranking, the Swiss team ranks second in points and has already secured advancement to the next round.

Switzerland also has a chance.

As long as they are not too unlucky in the next draw, they will draw the two teams Germany and Japan.

But it's a pity.

This is just their beautiful imagination.

That afternoon.

While the top 16 teams for the World Cup were decided, the draw results for the remaining matches were also released.

The Swiss team did not meet the Japanese team again, but did meet the German team that was trying to achieve the record of ten consecutive world championships.

As for the Japanese team, they drew a completely new opponent in the round of 16.

"This is incredible luck!"

In a hotel room in downtown Melbourne, the faces of the American team members looked very solemn as they looked at the matchup list on the table.

Because their opponent is the Japanese team that defeated the world's second-ranked Swiss team in the morning match!

No one can be happy facing such a powerful enemy.

"correct."

As if he had thought of something, Balentin looked around and said in surprise, "Where are Ralph and the others?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Yes!

The draw results have come out. Facing the Japanese team, the strongest dark horse in this World Cup, no one is sure.

But Reinhardt, who should have stepped forward at this time to calm people's hearts, was nowhere to be seen.

"He?"

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Hopkins sighed and said with emotion: "He is looking for a way to defeat the Japanese team in the next game."
