Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

In the rest area of Qingxue, the air seemed to freeze, and the expressions on everyone's faces were frozen in astonishment and disbelief at that moment.

Their eyes intertwined and finally fell on the shocking scoreboard in front of them, which clearly displayed the result of the duel between Hyotei and Rikkai University.

Kikumaru Eiji could hardly hide his shock at this moment. He was the first to break the silence, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"This...how is this possible? Hyotei can even defeat the powerful Rikkai. His strength is simply indescribable!" There was surprise and a hint of unwillingness in his tone, as if he could not accept such a reality.

Upon hearing this, Momoshiro Takeshi nodded repeatedly and added, "Yes, it's exaggerated! I thought that the last time we lost to Hyotei was due to lack of preparation and it was an accident. Now it seems that Hyotei's strength is far beyond our imagination!" His eyes flashed with fighting spirit.

And Qian Zhenzhi, who has always been good at data analysis, looks particularly serious at this moment.

He pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, surveyed the crowd with a penetrating gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate any opponent. As you can see, the Ice Emperor is no longer what it once was. Their strength has risen to the level of a national overlord, and this is a fact that cannot be ignored."

Upon hearing this, Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "We are so unlucky. I thought the journey to the Kanto Tournament would be relatively smooth, but I didn't expect to encounter two national-level teams at the same time. How are we, Seigaku... supposed to beat them?" His tone contained both self-mockery and worry about the future.

However, Inui Sadaharu didn't give up hope. He gently patted Kikumaru's shoulder and said in an encouraging tone, "Eiji, don't lose heart. Although Hyotei is very powerful, we, Seigaku, are no pushovers."

"From what I know, this year's Ice Emperor is very secretive. They may have hidden even more powerful strength that they haven't yet revealed."

Speaking of this, Inui Sadaharu couldn't help but recall the video of Hyotei Hiyoshi's match that he had just watched.

He was amazed by the strength that Hiyoshi showed in that match.

He knew very well that facing such an opponent, Qingxue must be fully prepared in order to have a chance of survival.

……

The atmosphere in the Hyotei rest area was relaxed and cheerful, in stark contrast to that of Seigaku.

After all, they had just defeated the powerful Rikkai University, so how could they possibly take a mere Seigaku without Tezuka seriously?

However, Hanamura frowned slightly, and seeing the Hyotei team members' underestimated attitude, he couldn't help but feel worried. (Hehe, give Hanamura some screen time, after all, she is still a Hyotei player now)

She knows very well that the outcome of a game often depends on details and mentality. If the players underestimate their opponents, they will easily fall into a passive situation.

So, she couldn't help but persuade him, "Everyone, the game isn't over yet. Isn't it too early to relax now?"

The Hyotei team members, who were in high spirits, felt their interest was interrupted when they heard Huacun's words, and felt a little unhappy.

They all looked at Huacun fiercely, as if blaming her for ruining everyone's good mood.

At this moment, Atobe and Tianyu also stood on Hanamura's side.

Atobe said seriously, "Coach Hanamura is right. You guys are really too presumptuous. The game isn't even over yet, and you're already popping champagne at halftime? It seems I've been too lenient with you. I've decided that after we return from the Kanto tournament, win or lose, your regular training load will be doubled!"

After hearing what Atobe said, the Hyotei team members immediately quieted down and realized their mistake.

They knew that as the minister, Atobe's decisions could not be violated.

Tianyu's voice sounded particularly powerful at this moment. He glanced around at the members of Bingdi's team, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"Everyone, I understand that when Coach Hanamura first arrived, we might all have some doubts and confusion. But please allow me to reiterate that Coach Hanamura is now Hyotei's coach, and she carries a deep sense of responsibility for our team."

"Every decision and every strategy she makes is based on consideration for our current situation at Hyotei. Therefore, I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and accept and respect her with an open mind. Only in this way can Hyotei go further."

(It’s okay for Huacun Aoi to offer some advice and sound the alarm.)

When Huacun Aoi heard this, the gloom on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a warm smile. She looked at Tianyu with gratitude.

Yes, the embarrassment and discomfort at that moment seemed to disappear into thin air along with Tianyu's words.

She suddenly felt that coming to Hyotei was not such a bad idea. (In Kamishiro Reiji's emo, "Tianyu, I can't stand with you!")

The members of Hyotei's team also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Coach Sakaki Taro nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and turned the topic to the upcoming game.

"Time is running out. We need to finalize the roster as soon as possible. There are only 30 minutes left before the deadline. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"

Tianyu spoke first, "I think Qingxue will definitely take a risk in this match and bet the victory on the first three games."

His tone was serious and earnest, and he seemed to have already made his own judgment on the upcoming game.

Coach Sakaki looked at Tianyu, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Oh? Tell me what you think, Tianyu."

Tianyu took a deep breath and said seriously, "Everyone knows that due to the absence of the opponent's captain, Tezuka Kunimitsu, their singles strength has certainly weakened, and there is a certain gap compared to us. Therefore, if they want to win, they must seek a breakthrough in doubles."

He paused and continued, "So, I speculate that their doubles team must be the golden combination, and the other doubles team will most likely include Fuji Shusuke. As for the singles team, they should send out Echizen Ryoma, because only with this arrangement can they win the game."

Coach Sakaki and the other team members fell into deep thought, considering Tianyu's analysis.

After a moment, everyone nodded in agreement.

This strategy does suit the current situation. If Seigaku wants to defeat Hyotei, this may be their only chance.

After some thought, Coach Sakaki finally decided on the starting roster.

"Double two, Shishido and Feng. Double one, Amaha and Hiyoshi. Single three, Atobe. Single two, Akutsu. Single one, Oshitari."

This is the best lineup based on Hyotei's personnel. Even if an accident happens in the previous games, Hyotei is confident that they can pull the score back in the last two games.

(Do you think Ryoma can beat Atobe at this stage?)
