[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

Kirihara rubbed his messy hair, letting loose the sticky strands of sweat: "Well, although I still don't quite understand what Omi-san said, but I'm really! I'm really serious about the game!"

He knew that he couldn't play the same way he used to deal with Omi, because it was very uncomfortable.Yukimura said to him: To play tennis is to hit the ball where others can't catch it; and to catch the ball that the opponent hits back.

Another way to think about it is to hit where your opponent doesn't expect it, and then let your opponent return the ball to what they think is a loophole.

"Akaya suddenly opened up!" Marui chewed on the bubble gum, the taste of grapes was really good.

"It's a bit of a freewheeling style." Masuda studied the ball carefully, "No, there is a sense of sight playing on the opposite side." It's just that this "playing" seems to be difficult, and Omi's defensive range is quite wide.

Tateishi smiled lightly and looked at Yukimura: "Kirhara-kun is very good at handling the ball. He looks very proud, and he usually works hard, right?" There is nothing wrong with being proud, but you have to have the capital of pride, otherwise it is a joke.

"Aka has been stuck in the bottleneck period for a long time." Yukimura answered vaguely.

[gameset, Firststringers6-5]

[Not good. ] Omi covered his face with a towel and closed his eyes.The pre-judgment advantage was reversed again, and he is now officially in a passive position.

[There is no way to predict, and the rhythm can't be brought... What should I do? ]

[I will not give up. ]

"Toichi has changed his style of play again." Tateishi reacted quickly, "I'm procrastinating, he wants to drag Kirihara-kun to death." Unlike the original style of play, Omi tends to play on the bottom line instead of thinking about switching between the front and back courts. Variations of the class, the attitude of fighting for each ball has also been raised to the limit.With such a change, Kirihara will either increase his pre-judgment advantage and speed up the pace, or follow Omi back to the bottom line to fight.

Of course he chose the former.

"It's right to consume too much. After the eleventh round, Chi Ye's state has already shown signs of declining."

"But procrastination is also skillful." Nioh interjected, "Like Omi-san, he has a good foundation, fast turning back and running speed, and a large defensive circle, so he has the confidence. Otherwise, when Chi also has the pre-judgment advantage, he would not fight back at all. Power."

"The outcome is still unknown." Shen Yong said, "Kirihara-kun is a little excited." The excitement of approaching victory is an unavoidable mentality change for many players.

And this is precisely the only turning point that can be grasped under the extreme disadvantage of Omi.

[Deuce]

This is the fifth time for Omi to regain the match point, and the team members on the sidelines couldn't help but marvel.

"Omi-san's psychological quality is really good."

"It's all forced." Masuda spit out a sentence, and glanced at Tateishi with everyone's puzzled expressions. [you say. ]

Standing Stone touched the tip of his nose: "I didn't think carefully at the time. But—" the black-haired young man hurriedly clarified under the gaze of everyone, "It's really bad luck, the members are not talented enough, and I patronize It's the game. It's worse, but Fujiichi is fighting for it."

"The previous 31 years, plus the ten years of winning streak in Kanto." Masuda nodded apologetically at Takeshita, "Our Lihai only lost the county championship twice, one was in the year of Takeshita-senpai, and the other was in the year of Omi-kun .”

"A lesson of blood and tears." Lishi covered his face, "Before the county competition, there were two practice matches with Aihara No. [-] Middle School. As a result, the finals of the county competition were thoroughly understood, and the first three games were directly lost."

That year, the head of Aihara No. [-] Middle School was also a ruthless person. To be honest, Tateishi admired him a lot.

"When I first joined the club," Shenyong interjected, "9 junior high school students and 2 junior high school students, so counting the previous year, there were only 10 students in Omi Sona's class."

"It can be said that the thinking of the seniors is not so flexible, but the foundation is solid." On the field, Omi scored with a double-backed counter-attack and regained the match point again. Afterwards, the freshmen returned another batch. Because no one can bear it.”

"At six o'clock in the morning, we have to go to the department's morning training, and the afternoon department training is postponed until seven o'clock. Every weekend, we have to complete a points qualifying match. During the holidays, everyone also gets department training."

"Eating tennis balls for food, who can bear it?"

"So even if Omi-san had less contact with tennis after retiring from the club, he was really crazy in that year. The basic movements have long been engraved in his bones and cannot be erased."

[gameset,Theseniors6-6]

"It's time for the tiebreaker." Everyone's focus was on the field, which made Kirihara even more nervous.He was panting heavily, and the sweat on his palms had just been wiped off with a towel, and now it came out again.

[I'm... the one to defeat those three monsters, the second-year ace! ]

[Future Minister! ] As if in the final match, Kirihara resisted the faint tingling pain in his temple. [Li Hai's winning streak has no dead ends! ]

"I don't think Kirihara-kun will definitely win." Shen Yong whispered, "I was the same as Yukimura-kun this year. There were many talented people, but most of them were lost by our seniors." Like Omi and Kirihara have touched a higher level.But the low-level competition focuses on physical fitness. Even if they are talented, the same level is still restrained by the four dimensions of the body. Even if they want to crack the senior's "drag" tactic, they are powerless.

"Omi-san's year was the hardest year." Shen Yong looked back at Nakajima and Fujiwara, "I didn't prepare in advance, I didn't have enough experience on the spot, the talent of the members was relatively poor, and the support team was not as strong as it is now."

"Everything depends on hard work and hard work."

"We can win in such a situation. We later have no reason to lose, especially the excuse of poor qualifications."

Shenyong glanced at the young boys who were still a little immature: "I don't really want to eat tennis, but I don't want to lose, and I don't want to let the winning streak end in my own hands."

"But the talent has been set, what can they do? They can only work ten times and a hundred times harder than others to gain such a slight advantage."

"The aptitude you think you should have may be something that others can't reach. When you look up and envy those geniuses, you don't know that some people are also eager to reach your height."

"So, don't use talent as an excuse, and don't chase things like talent, because you can't change it."

Kirihara stretched his right arm to reach the ball, and picked up the tennis ball which only bounced a dozen centimeters back in a straight line. Omi, the midfielder, got the ball's trajectory, ran to the rear left with all his strength, and hit the ball backwards.

"Out."

[9: 8]

Back hitting is not a bad street skill.Just because Yukimura and Xu You can play, doesn't mean Omi can do it too.

"Tengyi has carried a lot of things." Tateishi began to move his hands and feet, "Actually, if we really didn't win the championship that year, we wouldn't blame him. We all tried our best." There is always a year when the winning streak is broken , but Lihai did not bow his head that year.

"Everyone has arrogance and ambition. That's all I can say." The edges and corners of young people have not been impacted and polished by reality, and they always want to strive for perfection and completion.

[Advantage Rikkaidai]

The side of the court was silent, the sound of hitting the ball was covered by the noise of cicadas, and the sun was at its strongest at two o'clock in the afternoon.Ikeda's legs and feet were already numb, he gritted his teeth and struck out a diagonal arc vigorously, while Omi was already waiting at the landing point, a small ball, Ikeda pounced on it to pick the ball, Omi looked up at the ball in front of the net, the heat wave and light hit his face Then, the tennis ball fell slowly in the dazzling white, and was smashed by the brown-black racket frame.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyRikkaidai7-5]

"Ah!!" The hoarse cry completely overwhelmed the cicadas, and a group of people surrounded each other and cried.

The brown and black racket fell slowly, and was temporarily forgotten by the master who had no time to take care of it. The short-haired player in the yellow and black team uniform knelt on the ground and curled up into a ball, pulling the cloth on his chest to cover his face.Is laughing and crying, or crying and laughing?

"Ah-ah!"

Unprecedented madness can be vented, and the anguish and depression of training are finally relieved.

[Lihai has no dead ends. ] Kirihara eliminates a little spin on the ball, hits back a high-speed straight hit, sees Omi's forward swing, moves forward to the right, and as expected, neatly hits the backspin half-volley back to the bottom line of the backhand area in midfield, fierce and tricky The route suddenly made Omi feel tricky.

Kirihara stared at Omi's actions with piercing eyes. After so many rounds of violent shaking in his heart, he could no longer make waves.

[I, there is no dead end. ]

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyFirststringers7-6]

"Win!" Kirihara suddenly moved like a rabbit, waving the racket and bouncing around the half court, "Yeah~ yay! yay!"

"This guy......"

Yukimura pursed his lips and chuckled: "It's not easy for Chi."

"Just let him be proud for a while."

Omi also stood in the middle with a smile, patiently waiting for Kirihara to finish his excitement.

"Thank you for your advice, Omi-san!" Kirihara wiped the sweat from his left hand carelessly on his clothes, and shook hands with Omi, "I have never felt so happy to win a game!"

"You're welcome, Kirihara-kun."

"Come on." [I know, you're ready. ]

The two left the field together, and Kirihara was immediately surrounded by third-year seniors.

"You were too rude just now, Chi Ye." This is Liu who does not forget to teach the world.

The most noisy one was Marui, who rushed forward and kneaded Kirihara's hot and wet head into a chicken coop: "Wow, it's so hot, Akaya, an egg on your head could be boiled."

"No way!" Kirihara, who was struggling, was hooked by Nio's neck again: "Not bad, Akaya, you can finally overwhelm pig Marui."

"Don't even think about it!" Marui gave Nioh a sharp look, "No, delete the word in front of my name!"

Seeing Kirihara blushing, Kuwahara next to him handed over a towel and a water bottle.Yagyu visually inspected Kirihara's state and the color of the whites of his eyes, and felt a little relieved.

"Hahaha." Omi took the sweat towel from Shenyong, "Very energetic elementary school boy."

"Yes." Their goal has been roughly achieved.

Takeshita snorted twice, pretending to be serious: "Don't be too complacent, the next three are the most difficult to deal with."

"It's a great honor." Masuda responded, and looked at Tateishi who was warming up, "'Nobunaga-san', how about it?"

"How would you dare?" Tateishi replied with a smile, holding the racket under his left arm, "How could he be called 'Nobunaga' in front of Masuda-san."

"Singles [-], main team Sanada VS senior team Tateishi."

"Both sides step forward!"

The author has something to say:

Omi lost to Talent in the end.
