Net king: Muying Guanghua

Chapter 58

Chapter 59 Intramural Trials

In order to welcome the Kanagawa regional qualifiers at the beginning of the next semester, the Tennis Club will hold a trial for the main selection at the end of this semester.Minister Shibata had just announced this during club activities, and some people in the team were eager to try.Minister Shibata changed from his usual hippie smile, and said seriously in the name of the head of the first department: "In our king, Li Haida, strength speaks for itself. No matter what grade you are in, you can participate in this school selection contest." Newly entered first grade The members were even more excited, rushing to be elected.

However, the main candidates of the Lihai University Tennis Club are not so easy to beat. After all, they have been able to reach the finals of the Kanto Tournament for eight consecutive years, which shows their strength.The tennis club has always had more boys than girls, and it is easier for girls to be grouped than boys. Simple two groups can be easily done, and the top three in each group will be eligible for the main election.Boys are divided into six groups, and No.1 in each group is qualified for the main election.The seniors in the third grade are facing the pressure of entering a higher school next semester, and they will not put too much energy in the club. Some people gave up club activities in order to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

After watching the grouping of the second group of women's group, Xi Mu clenched his fist and ran into her again, but this time she didn't want to have the same ending again.Xi Mu turned and left, Sakai could see her performance in full view, Sakai shook his head lightly, he was another person who refused to admit defeat.Competitive sports inherently require the spirit of not admitting defeat.After Suzuki Qinghua lost to Cangye Ximu, he continued to train himself, and stepped up his research after comprehending the state of no-self, and his strength went up to a higher level.And what will Cangye Ximu do after being defeated by Suzuki Haruka?Sakai was full of anticipation.

The competition within each group began. Yukimura, Sanada, and Yanagi, the three giants in the central part of Lihai University's affiliated country, swept their opponents in a strong manner. The first day of the group competition has just started, and the first-year freshmen have won a lot of victories.The seven candidates who were directly promoted from the middle school all won the victory, beheading the seniors of the second and third grades. In the first round, Ximu met the third-year Naoko Akitsu. 6-2 defeated Naoko Akitsu, the former main pick, and became the only freshman player to get off to a good start.Yukimura, Sanada, and Yanagi have formed an unshakable position since junior high school, otherwise how could the seniors of the third grade call the three second-year members the Big Three when they were still there.

After Ximu defeated the seniors in the second grade, the men's group C match followed. When Ximu walked out of the field, a touch of silver flashed in front of his eyes. "Hey...Ximu..." King Ren greeted Ximu sunnyly, and Ximu nodded with a smile, "Your game?" King Ren nodded with a smile, and Ximu said with a light smile: "I wish you success" "Puff..." King Ren didn't answer Ximu's words, but just uttered a syllable from his mouth. Ximu walked to the rest area with the racket, but Marui pulled him to warm up.Xi Mu looked at Kuang Yuan who was running around in the field, and sighed lightly, so it was so.

It was originally a simple warm-up, but Marui couldn't hold back and directly used the ultimate move. He used the tightrope walk and Yizhu Qingtian too many times, and Ximu basically had an insight into the direction of these two moves.To break the tightrope, you can only hit back before the ball hits the net, and when the ball hits the net, it will roll, even if the shift is too close to the net in time, it cannot be completely returned.Standing in front of the net, Ximu used the holy world to attract the ball to his side, and then hit back with a volley, similarly cracking a pillar of Qingtian.Marui was so angry that he stomped his feet, fighting harder and harder, Ximu hurriedly stopped and said: "Wen Tai, you have a match later, save your energy." Marui turned a deaf ear and continued to attack violently. Kuwahara's match was over, and he heard the seniors call Marui Come to the game and rush to notify.Marui and Ximu fought back and forth, Kuwahara asked Marui to go to the game outside the court, Marui promised to go immediately, but his hands still didn't stop.Kuwahara winked at Ximu, Ximu was determined, and directly hit Marui with a smash. "The game is over." Unconvinced, Marui was dragged to the field obediently by Kuwahara. Ximu reached out and tapped his forehead, "Go and beat your opponent first." Let's go!" Marui raised his head triumphantly, "This genius will not lose."

"Marui, I have to say that you are very courageous." Minister Shibata looked at Marui with a smile on his face, and Ximu couldn't help but feel a cold current blowing behind his back. The meaning hidden by that smile was clearly... Do you think I am a vegetarian?Sure enough, those at the ministerial level are not ordinary people.Judging from the opening situation, Minister Shibata is a player who is good at medium and long-distance attacks, with a sharp offensive and strong enough lethality.Marui Bunta is also an offensive player, but he is good at frontcourt offense.The frontcourt attack is more dangerous and requires a high degree of flexibility. Bunta is quick to move, and it is not too difficult to defend. However, Minister Shibata's defensive ability is almost the same as Bunta's, and the two are evenly matched.In Ximu's view, Minister Shibata is more likely to win this game. Minister Shibata's 1.8-meter-zero stature has an advantage in stature, and it is easy to suppress Marui when serving.Minister Shibata is not only superior in physical strength, but also more powerful. Marui's fatal injury is physical strength. Although he can eat cakes in the game, once the confrontation begins, Marui will soon lose the wind.

It's just that Ximu didn't expect that Marui was defeated by Minister Shibata 6-3 in the end. It was not until the end of the game that Ximu realized Minister Shibata's tactics.Marui's tactics became very simple after tightrope walking and Yizhu Qingtian failed through small errors. Since you can't fight back, you can't make your unique moves. This move is really amazing!Minister Shibata dragged Marui into a protracted battle with his excellent ball control, and Marui, who had no time to replenish his strength, was at a disadvantage.As expected of a minister-level figure, his strength is extraordinary, Ximu sighed sincerely.

So far, there are only five undefeated women left in the women's group. Today's highlight is Misa Aida's match against Xiong Aoye. Misa Aida has been feeling overwhelmed since she lost to Haruka Suzuki yesterday. Qi, the companion has not defeated her for six years.Today, Aida Misa muster up her strength to win this match. She has indeed reached her best condition, but it is a pity that she may not be able to achieve what she wished.

Although Misa Aida mainly plays doubles, she was originally a singles player. After entering the tennis club, the women's singles places were taken by Suzuki Haruka, Sakai Eka and Sato Sanae, so she had to choose doubles.At the beginning of this group of competitions, almost all the members of the women's group gathered outside the field. Matsumoto Lisa said bitterly: "Senior Aida will definitely win." It seems that she is still remembering the 6-0 bloodbath of Ximu that day. , Seeing that Ximu was facing off against the former main candidate, he couldn't wait to hope that Aida Meisha could cut Cangye Ximu under the horse.Everyone gave Matsumoto Lisa a strange look, and ignored her tacitly. This person who is no longer a member of the tennis club was completely regarded by them as an audience, and they did not discuss why she appeared on the tennis court, nor did they want to delve into it. .

When the score was fixed at 3-0, Suzuki Haruka knew that the result of this game was decided, although it was a pity that Misa Aida had no chance of winning.The offense is sharp, but the route is very single. It is almost impossible to score from Cangye Ximu with this level of volley.Aida Misa exposed too many blind spots, and was caught by Xi Mu one by one, and she played three rounds in a row.Aida Meisha realized her blind spot, and at the moment Ximu attacked, Aitian Misa immediately ran to her blind spot, filling her position in time.Ximu accelerated the pace of attack, Aida Misa had insight into Ximu's attack direction but couldn't keep up with her speed, Ximu's fast break tactics were successful, beating Aida Misa 6-0.Matsumoto Lisa, who had already quit the tennis club, appeared on the tennis court again at this time, and was stunned by the match. She didn't expect that she would defeat Misa Aida, the former main candidate, by such a disparity. She once thought that Ximu Aoye was just She just played tennis a little earlier than them, but she didn't expect her strength to reach such a level.She always felt that Suzuki Haruka favored Cangye Ximu, and she was always unconvinced, but this match changed her opinion of Cangye Ximu.However, in the next match, Matsumoto Lisa clearly understood the strength of Cangye Ximu.

Because Haruka Suzuki is preparing for the professional net, she seldom comes to school recently, and the final match has not been held for a long time. After all the men's competitions are over, there is still no match between Haruka Suzuki and Ximu Aoye held.After defeating the former main picks Naoko Akitsu and Aida Misa, Ximu became the only first-year freshman. However, what Ximu wanted was not the position of the main pick, but another fight against Suzuki Haruka.The list of main candidates for the men's group is all confirmed. Except for the minister Shibata Yuan and the second-year main candidate Matsui, the other main candidates are all first-year freshmen. Yukimura, Sanada, Yanagi, and Yanagyu are the main candidates.

"Ximu, amazing..." Marui happily patted Ximu's shoulder, not being able to become the main selection did not affect Marui's mood at all, and congratulated his friends on their success.Xi Mu smiled, which was a response, but it was a pity that she hadn't fulfilled her wish yet.Liu caught Ximu's expression and understood that this quiet girl had her own pride deep in her heart.By the time Suzuki Haruka returned to school, it was already a week later.

The last match of the women's group didn't officially start until this time. When the two started the match, everyone around them stopped practicing and watched the contest between masters from the outside.Matsui, who was in charge of supervising the training of freshmen, went to watch the match between the two by himself, and all the freshmen were attracted.When Suzuki and Ximu came out after changing their clothes, there were people standing around the court, Suzuki shook his head helplessly, Shibata!How did you lead by example as a minister?Ximu walked into the court calmly, Suzuki Haruka switched shots, and Shibata Haru volunteered to act as the referee.

Same as last time, Haruka Suzuki kicked off the ball. The two faced each other for eight rounds with the first ball. Xi Mu moved a little slower, and the ball passed by.It took Suzuki Haruka a full 15 minutes to hold the serve with difficulty. The next round was Ximu's serve. Ximu was calm, threw the ball high and hit the ball with all his strength.The people outside the field only heard a bang, and there was a deep mark on the field. Shibata immediately reported the score "0-15". Everyone didn't even see the trajectory of the ball. As for the landing point, we can only rely on the moment when Ximu hits the ball to judge the general direction of the ball.It is impossible to return the serve just by judging the general direction of the ball. Ximu easily kept the serve, which surprised the people who supported Haruka Suzuki's victory outside the court.

Liu said lightly: "The possibility of hitting back is less than 5.00%." ​​Marui stared at the field with wide eyes, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, "How is it possible? I can't see the trajectory of the ball clearly." Kuwahara sighed: " The speed of the ball is so fast." Yukimura didn't speak, and looked at the court quietly with a smile on his face. The speed of this serve is comparable to Feng's one-ball hit, and perhaps only a few people present can return Xi Mu's serve.Yukimura can capture the trajectory of the ball. It is not very clear but he can roughly see it. In the early practice of volleying, he developed excellent dynamic vision, so Yukimura can roughly capture the trajectory.Ximu's serve is somewhat similar to Sanada's thunderous movement, but it doesn't have that much attack power. Ximu unknowingly increased his arm strength while practicing kendo, and the power of his serve and counterattack was even higher.

Suzuki Qinghua quickly served the ball, and immediately ran to the net after the serve, wanting to take the initiative in the attack, Suzuki Qinghua was already in front of the net as soon as Ximu finished his counterattack.Suzuki immediately hit a short volley, intending to score the point. Unfortunately, she underestimated Cangye Ximu's moving speed. As soon as the ball hit the ground, Ximu reached the center line. When the ball bounced, he immediately returned a shot. The close-range confrontation made everyone outside the arena dumbfounded.Even Shibata was in a cold sweat watching it, the two of them really had the spirit of sacrifice to fight against each other at such a close distance.In the end, Suzuki Haruka estimated that Ximu was hitting the wrong direction, and Ximu won the point with difficulty.

The ensuing game was brilliant, with Suzuki Qinghua attacking fiercely and Ximu defending impeccably, the two did not let up at all.Ximu hit a slant shot to avoid the slant. The ball was intercepted by Suzuki Qinghua before it hit the ground, and he hit the ball back with a forehand smash. 2-2, 3-2, 3-3, 4-3, the score rose alternately, and no one opened the gap.At the time of the 5-5 draw, Suzuki Haruka realized that compared to the last time, Cangye Ximu's strength has improved a lot. From serve to counterattack to defense, everything has been upgraded to a higher level. Such a short period of time. progress.Suzuki Haruka's ball was very heavy, and it was difficult for ordinary players to catch. In the last match, Ximu suffered a disadvantage in terms of strength. The people of all feel the exception.

At this time, Sanada finally understood that Ximu's method of asking for advice and borrowing strength was originally to defeat Suzuki Haruka, and there was an unyielding energy in her bones.This failure is for the next rise.Sakai Huixiang was surprised: "No way? Her strength has improved so much in a short period of time." She was also watching from the sidelines during the last match, and she could clearly see the strength of Ximu and Qinghua. Sakai knew how much effort Suzuki had spent to improve his strength. How could Cangye Ximu quickly catch up in just a few months?It's incredible.Ximu unreservedly used the holy world again, Suzuki Qinghua's balls began to go out of bounds frequently, Suzuki Qinghua knew what Ximu had done, but still failed to break Ximu's holy world, and was finally broken by Ximu Serve and take the lead 6-5.

Suzuki Haruka felt tremendous pressure, a feeling she had never felt before when she was competing against professional players. She had no choice but to fight as hard as she could.A layer of white light began to shroud Suzuki Qinghua's surroundings, and Ximu knew it clearly, and finally used the state of selflessness.However, this time Ximu did not enter the state of selflessness, she wanted to challenge her limit.Even if this game is lost and there is still a tie-break, it will not be too late to use it then.Suzuki Qinghua's ball is unpredictable, and Ximu can barely keep up with her rhythm. How to break Suzuki's rhythm and take the initiative in his own hands has become a problem that Ximu must solve now.Suzuki Qinghua violently blasted a smash, and Ximu's body responded instinctively.What was shown was not his own moves, but the giant bear's counterattack. After Ximu finished his counterattack, he still hadn't recovered.

"Pfft... I have also learned the trick of a genius." King Ni said casually, holding his head in his hands. "Ximu has been with Qingxue Zhengxuan for two years, and the probability of learning Qingxue Zhengxuan's moves is 80.00% three, which completely conforms to the theory of probability," Liu Bo said calmly, but his eyes never left the court.After Suzuki entered the state of selflessness, the balls he hit were a bit heavier, and Ximu still used the method of using force to hit back, making Suzuki Qinghua's power attack completely ineffective.With the use of avoiding the slant and Yingshun Jisheng, Ximu struggled to keep his serve and defeated Suzuki Qinghua 7-5.

Ximu wiped the sweat from his forehead, slightly raised his head to look at the cloudless blue sky, the golden sunlight enveloped his whole body, like a god-like existence.There was silence on the court, as if everyone hadn't recovered from the fact that Cangye Ximu defeated Suzuki Qinghua.The legend of women's tennis, Suzuki Haruka's winning streak was terminated by Aoye Ximu. It seems that everyone is still digesting this fact.Ximu stood where she was, with a happy smile on her face, her efforts were not in vain, her struggle finally had results, she succeeded, she successfully achieved her goal.

Yukimura closed his eyes, he will fight you if he has the chance, Ximu.Sanada pressed the brim of his hat, Liu wrote on the notebook for a long time, closed the notebook and smiled lightly: "Very good statistics, what a wonderful game" Marui blinked blankly, he was not dreaming, all of this was True, Ximu really defeated Suzuki-senpai.

"I lost, your progress is very fast" Suzuki Qinghua said sincerely, and Ximu responded with a smile: "Thank you." up.In the women's doubles, Takeuchi and Imai are the strongest women's doubles in the team, but they seem to be a little short of the national level. In the past, the women's tennis team has always been good at singles.When Haruka Suzuki was in junior high school, the women's tennis team of Lihai University was able to maintain a winning streak and the three singles champions contributed a lot, but the doubles has always been the weak point of the women's team.After Sato Sanae joined the club, he played against all the players, but he did not beat Suzuki Haruka and Sakai Eka, and the second-year main pick Ando Noriko was dragged into the tiebreaker. The match against these two was lost by a disparity in score.After graduating from junior high school, Sato Sanae's father was transferred to Osaka due to work reasons. Sato Sanae had to follow his father to Osaka. Ximu met Sato Sanae at the last rookie match. She and Gu Fengjingyi belonged to the same tennis club.

The arrival of Cangye Ximu this time surprised Suzuki Qinghua. After Suzuki Qinghua lost to Cangye Ximu in his third year of junior high school, the instructor of the tennis club saw that Cangye Ximu was a good seedling and wanted to Dig her to Lihai University to train her.Suzuki Haruka also felt that Qingxue's conditions had obviously restricted Cangye Ximu's development, and did not object to the coach's suggestion.Later, Cangye Ximu was promoted to the second year of junior high school. At the beginning of the school year, there were always many things in school. The instructor of the tennis club planned to persuade Cangye Ximu after finishing his work, but before he left, he heard that Cangye Ximu had a car accident. News, the idea was shelved.The departure of Sato Sanae made Suzuki Haruka feel the emptiness of successor power. When he and Sakai saw Xiong Aoye on the first day of club activities, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the main selection list was established, and Shibata specially called the main selection together for a meeting. The mixed doubles was the most troublesome link.In previous years' competitions, Lihai University's mixed doubles competition was always the most unstable link. Now we can rely on the seniors in the third grade to last for a year, but what about in the future?The first-year freshmen who have just entered the club have almost never been in contact with mixed doubles. It is not easy to run into a pair of mixed doubles.After many discussions between Shibata and Suzuki, it was finally decided that Liu and Ximu would play mixed doubles.Xi Mu and Liu had no objection. Liu was originally a doubles player. He had played a lot of doubles matches in junior high school and had relatively rich experience in doubles.The key lies in Ximu. The reason why Shibata and Suzuki chose Ximu is that she is an all-round player. She is excellent in frontcourt attack and backcourt defense. As long as they cooperate with each other over time, the two should be able to become a pair of prestige. Brilliant doubles.
