Prince of Tennis: Advent of Hyotei!

Chapter 63 Semi-Final Doubles 1

"What will be going on next is the doubles match."

"Hyotei Academy, Shishido Ryo + Hochotaro VS Yamabuki Middle School, Higashikata Masami + Minami Kentaro!"

The next game was announced on the radio.

At this time, Bingdi still maintained a relaxed attitude.

"Senior, we have to win the next game too!" Feng Changtaro said excitedly.

"Of course!" Shishido Ryo was equally confident.

Soon, after the warm-up, the two came to Coach Sakaki.

Coach Sakaki looked indifferent, not worried about the two.

Raise your hand slightly and turn your wrist to point toward the field.

"Go."

"Yes!"

The two nodded respectfully.

At this time, Ye Shifeng also gave a reminder.

"Give it your all."

Shishido Ryo and Houchotaro looked at each other and then spoke in unison.

"clear."

The reason why Ye Shifeng gave this reminder was that he didn't want to see the two of them lose the game because of carelessness.

If things had developed normally, Shishido Ryo would have been confused long before because of his loss to Tachibana Kipei.

Later, he shaved his head to show his determination.

Ye Shifeng doesn't want to see his teammates fall into the abyss of failure because of being too conceited.

If you lose even when you take it seriously, it's just because you are not as skilled as others.

Moreover, Ye Shifeng also remembered that Yamabuki's doubles team was quite strong.

He is known as the "Potato Soldier".

In Yamabuki Junior High School, which focuses on doubles, he can occupy the number one position.

In the golden doubles match against Qingxue, the game was almost dragged to a tiebreak before the winner was finally decided.

Many schools' doubles teams have also been defeated by them.

It can be seen that their doubles tacit understanding and ability are still worthy of recognition.

Shishido Ryo and Houchotaro also cooperated with each other many times.

Judging from the degree of tacit understanding alone, in Ye Shifeng's opinion, it has not yet reached the level of Qingxue Golden Doubles.

"Just see how much of your usual training can be transferred to the competition field."

While Ye Shifeng was thinking, the players from both teams were already ready.

"In the first game, Dongfang Yamei will serve first!"

"Game start!"

With the referee's announcement.

Dongfang Yamei was already adjusting her posture in the backcourt.

"Da da da……"

As the tennis ball fell in his hand, it bounced up from the ground again and again.

His eyes also looked forward.

He first glanced at Shishido Ryo who was receiving the serve, and then at Houchotaro.

Finally, he returned to his teammates and noticed that Kentaro Minami in the frontcourt made a secret gesture with one hand behind his back.

"You want to fight like this? Then I won't be polite."

"Victory belongs to us!"

Dongfang Yamei quickly threw the ball into the air, then jumped and swung the racket with smooth movements.

The ball flew inwards with a slight side spin.

Moreover, the path of the ball even overlapped with the position where Kentaro Minami was standing.

This means that Shishido Ryo, who is standing diagonally opposite, will have his vision blocked for a period of time.

"boom!"

The moment the ball hit the ground, Shishido Ryo's body reacted.

"Were you using this tactic right at the start?"

"But this doesn't bother me!"

Shishido Ryo moved with light steps and hit a straight backhand ball from the back point.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that his body was much lighter than in previous competitions.

The ability to react, and even the thinking after observing the path of the ball, is much more agile.

The improvement in all aspects made him realize that the training guided by Ye Shifeng on a daily basis had begun to take effect.

At this time, the ball was on the other side and was hit back by Dongfang Yamei in the backcourt.

"Ah!!"

The speed of this ball was slightly faster.

However, Shishido Ryo still relied on his reaction ability to get to the front of the ball one step ahead.

Another smooth swing without any impact.

At this time, Feng Changtaro was still staring intently at Minami Kentaro in front of him.

Suddenly, Minami Kentaro made an extremely covert movement with the hand holding the racket.

Dongfang Yamei in the backcourt immediately received the message.

The ball that was about to be returned normally suddenly changed its way and was lightly picked up.

"Front court ball."

Houchotaro noticed the direction and force of the ball and reacted quickly.

"boom!"

"boom!!"

Suddenly, the tennis ball formed a refraction in front of the net.

"15-0!"

As the referee announced the score for the first time.

Feng Changtaro was a little stunned.

"what?"

Just at that moment, his shot was returned in the same way, but with a faster reaction.

Even Shishido Ryo, who was waiting in the backcourt, was unable to give a response.

This was a premeditated collaboration, and it was using the information that Feng Changtaro was able to judge as a trap.

"Don't worry about it, Chotaro."

Shishido Ryo comforted him from the backcourt.

Feng Changtaro nodded slightly.

The game continues.

This goal is indeed not enough to affect the mentality.

It's just a normal gain or loss of points.

Everyone in Bingdi's group also remained calm and didn't seem to care too much.

On the other hand, Oishi said, "Those two people from Yamabuki have perfect chemistry."

"Minami Kentaro is a famous master of secret code tactics. If you are not careful, you may fall into his trap."

Inui Sadaharu, who was standing by, also took out the information he had recorded.

"Indeed, Yamabuki's first doubles team should not be underestimated."

"If Hyotei cannot destroy the opponent's various calculations in the future, he may fail."

"After all, in doubles, in addition to individual strength, the tacit cooperation between the two players is very important."

Kikumaru seemed to be thinking about something at this time.

Then he said confidently: "If Dashi and I were to meet them this year, we would definitely not lose."

Meanwhile, on the court.

Shishido Ryo and Houchotaro also began to gradually exert their strength.

The two transformed the results of their training into the ability to improve their own data.

Speed, strength, endurance, and reaction all exceeded previous levels.

Therefore, even though he is not as good as the opponents Higashikata Masami and Minami Kentaro in tactics.

However, there was no completely passive situation.

With a higher personal level, the competition kept moving forward at the same pace.

"Although the tacit understanding between these two players of Hyotei is slightly inferior, I didn't expect that they could even the game situation."

“That’s pretty impressive.”

Sengoku Kiyosumi couldn't help but sigh as he watched the progress of the game.

Soon, fifteen minutes had passed in the game.

The score between the two sides was 4-3.

Serving first, Yamabuki was one game ahead.

Neither of them was able to break the opponent's serve (note: be the first to win the next game in the opponent's serve).
