Chapter 5 Regional Qualifiers
On Saturday morning, Ximu went downstairs to have breakfast in his sportswear, but he didn't take a tennis racket when he went out.Grandpa hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "Xiaomu, I haven't picked up the tennis racket yet!" Ximu who had just put on his shoes and was about to go out almost fell to the ground, "Grandpa, I told you yesterday that I'm going to watch the game today. "

Grandpa patted his head: "Hehe, I'm sorry, Grandpa forgot." Whoever asked Ximu to go out with a tennis racket every day, he has formed a mindset.Ximu smiled: "It's okay, grandpa, then I'll go!" "Be careful on the road!" Grandpa reminded, "Understood," Ximu replied obediently, and then ran out.

Arriving at the appointed place, Ximu let out his breath and looked around, huh?Has the coach come yet?Ximu looked around very curiously, but he never saw the coach.After a while, coach Fujino's deep voice reached Ximu's ears: "Ximu, follow me." Ximu hurriedly followed and walked to the competition field with the coach.

Before entering the competition venue, he heard the voices of people, and Ximu couldn't help sighing, "It's so lively!" Coach Fujino explained: "Today is the final of the regional qualifiers, the match between Tokyo No. [-] Primary School and No. [-] Primary School." Coach, are these two strong teams?" Ximu blinked at Coach Fujino with wide eyes, since it was the final, the two participating teams should not be weak. "Yes, these two schools are traditionally strong teams." Coach Fujino looked at the players on both sides of the field, but suddenly found a slightly smaller boy in the small camp, with brown flowing hair and an unusual expression on his face He was serious, probably a third or fourth grader, and his calmness didn't seem to match his age at all.Can't help but take a look at the disciples beside him, the two of them are a bit alike, but it feels like Ximu should be more childish.Ximu looked at the tall and burly figures of the players on the field, and Ximu felt chills in his heart.

The first game started was the second doubles match. Ximu had never played a doubles match before, so he only had a very superficial understanding of doubles, just a general understanding of the rules.When one side has a vacancy, the other side immediately fills in, Ximu was startled, it was a tacit cooperation.A small pair of doubles stands in parallel in the midfield, and the person on that side is responsible for catching the ball wherever it flies, and the cooperation is very fast.Coach Fujino looked at Ximu in a daze, and smiled in his heart, Ximu asked the coach: "Coach, why do I think doubles seems to be more difficult? They seem to know what the other is thinking." Coach Fujino smiled He replied: "Doubles are more complicated than singles. After all, doubles is about the cooperation of two people. When one party is vacant, the other can fill in in time. A good singles player may not be able to play doubles." After winning, the cheerleading team of Xiaoxiao was excited, "One Xiao! One Xiao!" The sound of cheering was deafening, and Ximu's enthusiasm also rose. It turns out that it is such an exciting thing for someone to cheer.

When Ximu was still amazed at the tacit cooperation of the second doubles, the first doubles had already started, and Ximu was even more surprised. If the second doubles cooperated very well, then the first doubles cooperated seamlessly. He didn't miss a ball in four consecutive innings.Xi Mu stared straight at the situation in the field, they seemed to know what the other side was thinking, and even adopted a formation.Ximu asked: "Coach, what formation is that?" "This is a very powerful formation in doubles, the Australian formation." Coach Fujino explained that Ximu knew a lot about the Australian formation, and the two players stood in front of the net. It stands in a straight line with the bottom line, and the replacement is very timely. It is a relatively difficult formation to overcome.Ximu was immediately startled, how could elementary school students use the Australian formation so well?The level of these elementary school students is not low!

At the end of the game, 6-0, there is no suspense about the result of the game.The third singles match started, and the youngest child came onto the field holding a racket. His opponent was a burly boy in the fifth grade.Xi Mu was very surprised, the difference in body size between the two was so big, would the little guy have a chance of winning?The coach once said that the height difference between the two sides will create certain favorable conditions for the taller player, but it is not enough to win.The muscular body of the burly boy is so well developed, while the small boy looks thin and weak in comparison, how can we fight this game?
"Ximu, who do you think will be the winner of this game?" Coach Fujino said quietly, Ximu frowned and said: "It's hard to say, just by looking at the appearance, I'm afraid it will give the impression that the boy from the sixth grade will win." , but people should not be judged by appearances, I don’t know how strong a small boy is, so how can we judge who can win?” It is almost impossible to judge who will win and who will lose without knowing the strength of both sides .Coach Fujino showed admiration on his face, knowing that it is very valuable not to judge the opponent's strength from the appearance of the opponent, and not to judge the talent by appearance.Coach Fujino and a small coach Yamazaki are good friends, but they chose different paths. Yamazaki teaches students wholeheartedly, while Coach Fujino only teaches students in his spare time.Recently, I have been hearing Yamazaki mention a child named Tezuka Kunimitsu who is extremely talented and plays tennis very well. He has the strength to rival the minister. Coach Fujino can see from Yamazaki's slightly smiling face that this game The winner will be Tezuka Kunimitsu.

wonderful!There is such a trick, the ball can spin.Ximu's face showed joy, the little guy had a strong ability to control the ball, and the spin he added to the ball was very clever, but after a few balls, Ximu found that the balls landed in different places, and they were all in the midfield. Some balls will even go to the backcourt. If his opponent reacts quickly enough, he will be able to return the ball before the ball hits the ground, thus breaking his trick.Ximu rested his chin with one hand, if the opponent has no time to catch the ball, the best place for the ball to land is in front of the net, because not many people can run from the backcourt to the frontcourt in a short period of time, but neither There is a lack of such talents, so the speed of the ball must be fast, and the ball must be landed quickly, so as not to give the opponent an opportunity.Coach Fujino appreciates Tezuka Kunimitsu's ball-handling ability. He is a malleable talent. He has such strength in the third grade. After several years of training, he does not know how powerful he will become.

After Tezuka Kunimitsu's victory, the cheering cheers of the small cheerleading team increased several times, "One small! One small!" Ximu hurriedly covered his ears. How could these girls shout so much?Not afraid to shout loudly.Coach Fujino's voice had to be amplified, "Ximu, I'll go over to visit my friend, and you can come too!" Ximu nodded and obediently followed the coach.

"Yamazaki, congratulations!" Coach Fujino said with a smile, reaching out to shake hands with Yamazaki.Coach Yamazaki, who won the victory, looked refreshed. "Thank you." Yamazaki noticed that there was a little girl beside Fujino, who looked quite fresh, and asked jokingly, "Fujino, who is this?" Fujino smiled and introduced himself to his friends. Apprentice: "This is my student." Ximu bowed obediently to Yamazaki: "Hello, Uncle!" "Fujino never accepts students easily, and you are the first in the past six months." Excellent talent and good strength, otherwise Fujino would not accept her as a student.Ximu looked at Yamazaki and smiled. This uncle gave people a different feeling, he was a little more friendly, and he seemed to be more talkative. He didn't have the awe-inspiring feeling that Coach Fujino gave him.Coach Yamazaki and Coach Fujino were chatting in full swing, and Ximu looked curiously at the first-choice players, all of them were well-built, but Tezuka was different from them, take a closer look at Tezuka With that face, Ximu immediately felt a little sympathy for him, but the third grader had a fifth grader's face, young and old before he got old!If Tezuka knew what Ximu was thinking at this time, he would definitely go crazy.

The candidates packed up their things and waited patiently for the coach. Ximu stood aside boredly, looking around curiously. This was the first time for her to come to the official competition venue. The lively atmosphere on the court made her feel excited. She couldn't help but imagine how she would behave when she stood on this hot land.

After hearing what his coach said, Tezuka sized Ximu up. Could she be a strong player?When Tezuka was contemplating, the conversation between Coach Yamazaki and Coach Fujino was over, but both of them seemed to have something to say.Coach Fujino took Ximu back first. When the two were on the way, Coach Fujino asked Ximu how he felt after watching the game. Ximu acted like a critic: "The two pairs of doubles are very strong. , I feel that the strength of the first doubles should be stronger. Although the third singles player has good ball control, he leaves too much space for the opponent. If his opponent reacts faster and moves more sensitively, His trick doesn't work. His serve is very strong, and it can be seen that he has a lot of power."

After hearing this, Coach Fujino couldn't help but smile. It was the first time for this kid to watch the game in person, but he analyzed it well. It seems that his previous estimation was correct. Ximu's analytical ability will be one of her magic weapons for winning. "Ximu, this is only at the level of elementary school students' competitions. Maybe you can figure it out. If you have time, you might as well watch the Grand Slam competitions."

This time it was Ximu's turn to be surprised, "Grand Slam?" That is the world's top tournament, and she should analyze it?Xi Mu looked at the coach in disbelief, with an obvious expression on his face, "Coach, are you joking?"

"Well, it may be difficult at the beginning, but you have to learn to analyze. This is the world's top event, a game where masters gather. If you can learn some experience from it, it will benefit you a lot." Coach Fujino said seriously Said that Ximu was a little eager to try after hearing what the coach said, and decided to go back today and record the results of the game analysis, but Ximu never thought of starting this way, and this habit has been accompanied by her tennis career.After many years, when Ximu opened these old notebooks, he couldn't help feeling very proud and proud.
