Net King: Nioh Phantom

Shuji Tanejima arrived, and the entire U17 Japanese national team was assembled.

After getting on the arranged team bus, they returned to the hotel room arranged by the organizer.

In the prepared meeting room of the representative team, Coach Kurobe, Coach Saidou, and Coach Takuzhi are waiting for them to make the final schedule for tomorrow.

Theoretically, based on the performance of today's exhibition match, the U17 World Cup organizing committee will arrange the group stage match schedule so that viewers can choose their favorite team to watch at the same time.

But in fact, before the U17 World Cup exhibition match ends, the group stage arrangements have been arranged.

This has been the case in previous years.

Although the announcement was late, it was not unexpected.

The same is true this year. Although the performance of the U17 Japanese national team in the exhibition match amazed everyone, how could the long-arranged group stage roster be changed so easily?

The host venue is Australia, and the U17 Australian team had no choice but to accept this unfriendly group stage arrangement.

Therefore, the current list of teams for the group stage held by the coaching staff is like this-

Swiss team, Greek team, Australian team

"On paper, the strongest team is the second-ranked Swiss team."

Coach Kurobe said

"The Greek team is currently ranked tenth and should not be underestimated."

He then said

"The Australian team seems to be ranked lowest, but they have the advantage of playing at home and cannot be underestimated."

No matter who you are, none of these three teams are soft persimmons that they can deal with easily. They are all hard nuts to crack!

"Twenty-one of our existing players need to be selected and divided into three teams to challenge Switzerland, Greece, and Australia respectively."

After Coach Kurobe finished talking about the opponents of the Group B team they were going to participate in, he began to introduce the rules of the group stage.

"According to the rules of the group stage, players cannot appear again in the group stage."

That is to say, each player can only play one game in the group stage. It is impossible for one player to play against three players from three teams in succession.

Coach Mifune sat aside and listened, snorting in disappointment..

Coach Saito was alerted and couldn't help but put himself in the head coach's mind, thinking about how great it would be if the game rule"if a player can play three games" was allowed. good things——

【The head coach wouldn't have thought about letting Byodoin and Niou play three games before, right? 】

Why was the head coach so disappointed when he heard the first rule restriction announced by Kurobe? Coach Saito immediately thought of"Let Byodoin and Nioh play three games." This sounded very good to others."Crazy" arrangement

【Hey, Kurobe said this first, did he also think about it? 】

Coach Saito discovered his previous blind spot.

No wonder the head coach didn't choose me as his successor. I'm still not"cruel" enough. Coach Saito said that he was convinced by the head coach and another black-hearted colleague.

"In each round, there must be three junior high school students in the quota for the representative team."

Coach Kurobe then said something that made other teams think twice but was harmless to their team. Although the U17 Japanese national team is still divided into junior high school students and high school students on the surface, if we want to talk about the real tennis strength , the top-ranked junior high school players are not necessarily weaker than the high school players.

In this way, the depth of the bench of their team may not be inferior to that of other representative teams.

In addition ,……

"Although each round is a best-of-five game with two doubles and three singles, if you win three games in a row, it can end early.."

"The final promotion is based on point difference, and there is no need to complete five games."

Coach Saito said with a smile.

He was almost making it clear to everyone that even if they are placed on the playing list, the two singles players who will appear later may not have a chance to play.

"Should we practice as much as possible in the group stage, or should we try to advance with a score of 3:0 to avoid losing player intelligence?"

Coach Tuozhi couldn't make up his mind anyway, so he spread out two possibilities and gave them to the players.

"What to do, head coach?"

Coach Kurobe didn't look at the expressions of the players. After he finished talking about the rules and restrictions of the group stage, he looked at Coach Mifune. Although the

U17 World Cup exhibition match made them excited, the coaching staff as a whole was calm and cautious.. They don’t dare to make any decisions. They just arrange the game list and submit it directly.

"The lineup for the group stage will be announced tomorrow!"

Coach Mifune folded his arms and said directly without hesitation.

In the head coach's view, there is no need to finalize the game list that will not be submitted until the game tomorrow and can even be modified on the spot.

"Everyone is dismissed and rest! Meet again tomorrow!"

Ignoring all the expectant looks, Coach Mifune just announced the disbandment.

Of course, the head coach was not cruel enough to make everyone scratch their heads until tomorrow to know the U17 group stage lineup. He still gave the players advance notice of the lineup. Opportunity——

"Byodoin, Tanejima, Oni, you stay."

If there is an accident that no junior high school students will participate in this year's U17 World Cup, Coach Mifune will probably make his own arrangements based on the list of players on the representative team. But this time for U17, there are too many"unexpected factors." The

U17 exhibition match that ended today was This is a good proof of this.

Coach Mifune didn't want to see any"accidents" tomorrow, so he decided to resolve all"unexpected factors" that exceeded his psychological limits today.

For example, leaving the results they played in today's exhibition match The overly devoted high school team leader Byodoin Phoenix, and a certain junior high school player who always dances in the heart of Coach Mifune.

Even in order to prevent the discussion after the retention from becoming an"ineffective conversation", the head coach deliberately retained more several players

"Niou, Yukimura, and Atobe, don’t leave either!"

Three high school students and three junior high school students - a total of six players were left in the representative team meeting room by coach Mifune. Their views and suggestions on the group stage will affect the strategy of the subsequent group stage and tomorrow's match against U17 Greece squad

"Let's go first~"

"Contact us later!"

"If you have any news, let me know!"

"Hey, don't forget us!"

Most of the players left happily, but they gave a hint to the remaining players when they left.

Although Kirihara wanted to know the lineup, he had such familiar direct seniors staying in the conference room to participate in the list discussion, and he also Just don’t worry for now

"Appearance list - let me appear——"

On the other hand, Toyama Kintaro was reluctant to leave when he left. He was almost pushed away by Shiraishi.

"Uncle Ghost - I want to play solo————！！"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Even when he reached the door, he grabbed the door frame and turned around and shouted to Oni Jujiro before he was dragged away by Shiraishi.

After these players leave.

Niou watched helplessly as Coach Takashi left the conference room first.

Then there was Coach Saito. He waved to Nioh and others, and then - bang!

The door was immediately closed by the smiling Coach Saito.

"Phew, do we still need to guard the gate?"

Looking at the fierce-looking Coach Mifune in front of him, Coach Kurobe dressed in black and with a serious expression, Byodoin-senpai who has shaved his beard but his hair is still messy today, Oni-senpai with a serious face and an old look...

Nioh only felt that he Yukimura next to him and Taneshima-senpai not far away are still a little warm.

"I don’t think it’s necessary."

Look, even Atobe frowned as cold as ice at this time.

Nioh thought to himself, it's because you are all like this that he doesn't want to stay in this conference room.

"Take it easy, Nioh-chan"

"Coach Saito and the others are already guarding the goal outside."

Taneshima Shuji must have been suffocating on the boat, and now he speaks cheerfully. His current expression, set off by his two high school colleagues, does not look like he is going to play competitive games, but like he is going for an outing.

"Let's first discuss the lineup for tomorrow's group match against the U17 Greek team."

"Who is better to let go?"

This white-haired high school player didn't think about himself at all.

After all, in his own opinion, how could he be included in tomorrow's playing list by the coach after he had just landed after a long journey?

Therefore, Shuji Tanejima is now quite relaxed and confident

"Do you want to go to Byodoin?"

"I heard you played very bravely today~"

Shuji Tanejima teased.

"Senior, you are also very brave."

Finding that he couldn't escape this pre-match meeting, Nioh began to find fun in the boring meeting.

Then he knew why Tanejima Shuji was arranged to play in the group match the next day as soon as he got off the ship in his previous life.

First of all, it must be the coaches’ recognition of Tanegashima’s tennis prowess.

Secondly, it must be because this high school player is so eye-catching!

"really."

The Byodoin player responded coldly.

"……What?"

"Are you answering me?"

Taneshima felt that he had heard wrongly. Was Byodoin answering him?

"of course not."

The boss of U17 high school students cherishes words like gold.

【Who is that answering? 】

Taneshima Shuji had a bad premonition. He stiffly turned his head to look at his trusted descendant (Li Mo Hao).

"Byodoin-senpai means, you will play in tomorrow’s game against the U17 Greek team."

Nio will never live up to the"hope" placed on him by his dear Tanejima-senpai. He fluently explained the unfinished meaning of Byodoin's words.

"Pfft~"

Yukimura couldn't help but laugh on the side

"Yes Yes"

"Byodoin-senpai probably feels that since you, Tanejima-senpai, are in good condition, you will definitely be able to lead the rest of the team to perform brilliantly tomorrow!"

After he finished laughing, he quickly made up for it, but that uncontrollable chuckle had already entered the ears of others.

"？？！！"

Shuji Taneshima felt that there was a question mark on his forehead first, and then an exclamation mark.

During this period of time, during the period when he was not following the team, what happened to his senior Li Hai juniors?

Why are Niou and the others so familiar with Byodoin!

"Forget it Yukimura, Nioh, since when did you become so familiar with Byodoin?"

Yukimura could explain that it was because of the doubles match in today's exhibition match. What's going on with Nioh? Shuji Taneshima felt that he was only absent for a short period of time, and as a result, his home was stolen directly by his colleagues. He said"Byodoin, I didn't expect you to be like this. He looked at the captain of the U17 high school student who was standing aside and raised his lips.

Ps, when I wrote about the U17 game, I also thought about whether I should change the rules and let the players compete three times in a row... It’s still too crazy to think about. He was unfriendly and inhuman, so he abandoned him.
