Tennis: one step ahead

"Germany. "

"Germany. "

"Germany. "

"Neon. "

......

Everyone shouted the names of their support teams and cheered them on.

The fiery atmosphere affects every part of the arena.

There are only a few locations that remain calm.

The people who occupied these places were dressed very neatly, all in the uniform of the U-17 team.

Even among hundreds of viewers, it is particularly eye-catching.

They are the teams that lost in the previous rounds.

After being eliminated, these teams did not immediately return to their home countries or regions, but chose to stay and watch the rest of the game.

This has been the case for generations, and now it is an unwritten rule.

This rule is not mandatory.

There are teams that do not comply, but there are very few.

The vast majority of teams will choose to watch all the games.

Although the final winner was decided, it was doomed from the moment the U-17 World Cup began, and there was little suspense.

However, it is the process that matters in the game of tennis, not the result.

What's more, what if a shocking dark horse was really born and the German U-17 team, which won the U-17 World Cup for eight consecutive years, was pulled off the throne?

This kind of scene has been awaited by the teams for a long time.

......

"The quarterfinals of the U-17 World Cup, the match between the Neon U-17 team

and the German U-17 team, officially started. "

"Please, players from both sides will appear. "

The audience didn't have to wait long.

After a while, the stadium sounded the sound of the announcement of the official start of the game.

When the sound of the

announcement fell, the two teams, a total of 14 contestants, walked out of their competitors' aisles one by one.

The German U-17 team, dressed in black, has long been known to everyone.

The

red, white and black uniforms of the Neon U-17 team appeared in the quarter-finals for the first time.

The people on both sides came to the net, stood opposite each other, and looked at each other silently.

"First, play the second doubles match. "

"The neon team Taneshima Koshichi played against the German team Rauka Schneider. "

After a while, the radio started again.

The four players who played the second doubles stayed on the court, while the others went outside the court and came to the viewing area.

To the astonishment of the audience, the second doubles of the German U-17 team was actually the vice-captain Lauka and a rookie player in the first year of high school.

On the other hand, the Neon U-17 team is even more outrageous, sending two freshmen in the first year of high school.

Although Shuji Tanejima and Tsukiko Kochi have appeared in previous rounds, everyone knows that the strength of the two is not weak.

But their opponent this time is the No. 2 man in the German U-17 team.

No matter how you think about it, neither Shuji Tanejima nor Moonlight Koshichi has any chance of winning.

“......"

Watching the battle area, Irie Sota's face was serious, and his eyes were vaguely cast on Mifune Irido who was in the coach's seat.

Coincidentally, Mifune Irido also tilted his head at this time, and his eyes fell on Irie Sota, intentionally or unintentionally.

The two looked at each other, and both understood the meaning of each other's eyes.

The formation of the German U-17 team was different from what I imagined.

They. It seems to have miscalculated.

"The match started, a best-of-three format. "

"In the first set, Germany U-17 serves. "

Just as Mifune's heart was sinking and Irie Sota's heart was gradually sinking, the referee of the match was in place and the match was announced.

Seeing this, the two quietly withdrew their gaze, and turned their attention to Shuji Tanejima and the four of them.

Bang.

A loud and rapid shot rang out from the pitch.

Lauka's serve lit the clash between the German U-17 team and the Neon U-17 team.

"It's so fast. "

Shuji Tanejima was guarding the front, and he glanced at the yellow shadow that swept past him, and his heart was awe-inspiring.

The vice-captain of the German U-17 team is indeed worthy of his name.

This goal alone shows his extraordinary strength.

Bang.

Just as Shuji Tanejima was analyzing Lauka's general strength, the tennis ball had already landed and bounced off the court.

The Neon U-17 team is responsible for receiving the serve Yue Zhi Moonlight, who is 2.26 meters tall.

With his tall stature and speed, he was able to successfully catch up with the tennis ball.

Bang.

The tennis ball flew upside down and returned to the German Under-17 team's half.

After hitting back at Lauka's serve, Yue Zhi Moonlight's gaze, which was covered by long bangs, stopped vaguely on his right hand for a moment.

No second person will know that his arm trembled slightly when he received the ball just now.

"Can you hit my serve back with your hand?".

The landing point of the tennis ball, located in the backcourt, in the defensive area of Lauka.

Yuezhi Moonlight's relaxed performance somewhat exceeded his expectations, but that's all.

If you can

do this, it means that you can fight him.

It's still too far from wanting to win.

Stomp Tread....

Seeing the tennis ball

approaching, Lauka stepped forward and sped towards the tennis ball.

His speed is even better than that of Yuezhi Moonlight.

A shadow flashed on the court, and his person was already blocked in the way of tennis.
