Chapter 38: Champion of the Grand Prix
"Go down!"
Taro Sakaki looked at the two silent people in front of him, waved his hand and scolded them softly.
Although it was because of their opponent, he was still unhappy about the two people's foolish behavior that ruined their last hope of a comeback.
"The Ice Emperor doesn't need weaklings. It seems their character still needs to be tempered."
Taro Sakaki silently thought about the training that would be prepared for their next stage. Such a mistake must not be made a second time.
"Hyotei actually lost in the first round..."
"As expected of Yamabuki, their doubles skills are still so strong."
There was cheering and noise outside the stadium.
The twists and turns on the field just now made them feel very excited.
Hyotei's individual strength is a little more outstanding, but his tacit understanding is not good; Yamabuki's doubles have perfect tacit understanding.
"After all, it's a doubles match. Sometimes tacit understanding is more important than strength."
…
The second game, the first doubles match, is about to begin.
Qianshi's eyes sparkled with excitement. If...if the seniors also won this game...
Thinking of this, his breathing became heavier. He would play in the third singles match and end the game with one final blow.
Even if he was the most favored player before the game, so what! For a moment, he was filled with pride.
"Senior Yanagisawa, Senior Kaneda, come on!" Sengoku cheered the two people who were about to go on stage with great energy.
"Thank you, Sengoku-kun, we will get this point."
The two smiled slightly. As Yamabuki's current first doubles team, they were confident.
However, reality slapped everyone in Yamabuki in the face.
As the only two third-year players in the Hyotei team, Kaida Nobuyuki and Sakamoto Kumaji's experience and mentality are not comparable to those of Hibiki and Shishido Ryo.
Coupled with Kaida Nobuyuki's solid Kanto-level strength, even though he was suppressed by the Yamabuki duo at the beginning, after figuring out their style of play, he won six games in a row without giving Yamabuki any chance, and the final score was 6-1.
Kaida and Sakamoto's ****-like attack made Yamabuki breathless. This crushing victory also woke up all those who wanted to see Hyotei's joke.
The score was tied in an instant, and the game became one win and one loss!
"What, so fast!"
Qianshi looked at the member who came to remind him with surprise.
“Didn’t the seniors’ game just start not long ago?” He was only halfway through warming up, but the game was already over?
"Less than fifteen minutes?"
After understanding the situation, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"Sure enough, I was too optimistic. How could Hyotei be weak?"
Qianshi suddenly felt a surge of pressure. Now the total score was tied at 1-1, and the key turning point of the situation was in his hands.
When the team's victory or defeat depends on him, all he can do is give it his all.
"Come on, Qianshi! You are the luckiest man!" Qianshi silently cheered himself up in his heart.
After learning that Hyotei's third singles player was also a freshman, he felt a little relieved.
We are all first graders, who is afraid of who?
His unyielding spirit boosted his fighting spirit.
…
"Next, the singles three match is about to begin."
"Hyotei Academy's Oshitari Yuushi vs. Yamabuki Junior High School's Sengoku Seijun."
After the broadcast, there was another round of discussion.
"Are both parties first years again?"
"You're talking nonsense. There are only two third-year students on Hyotei's team, and the rest are first-year students. The previous doubles match was played by two third-year students."
Someone on the sidelines was confused about the situation, and someone immediately explained it to him.
"I just didn't expect Yamabuki to be brave enough to give such an important position as the singles third to a freshman ."
There is not much to say about Hyotei, but Yamabuki's bold use of players this year has made many people take a new look at this traditional strong school.
Looking at the two people on the field, a hint of envy flashed in Tezuka's eyes, but he quickly hid it.
Although they have now bid farewell to this year's competition, they will appear in a brand new attitude later.
Then I will definitely compete with you!
Tezuka's gaze crossed the arena and looked towards the position of Hyotei's starting lineup.
…
Boom!
The tennis ball was spinning at high speed, and Oshitari hit a beautiful slice shot at the net.
I can't lose!
Seeing that he could no longer catch up with the ball, Qianshi felt a strong belief in his heart, and his legs suddenly burst out with a strong force.
"Catch it for me!"
With a loud shout, the front edge of the racket hit the tennis ball that was about to fall to the ground.
Netball ball!
"30-15"
"Lucky!"
Qianshi climbed up and smiled brightly. He felt that his lucky moment had come.
Snap…Snap…Snap…
Qianshi tapped the tennis ball gently and glanced at the dark-skinned boy opposite him. The other party was obviously only a first-year, but he was much stronger than him.
but…
My luck doesn't end there.
Toss the ball and swing the racket.
Qianshi jumped high into the air, and his amazing jumping ability was amazing.
boom!
Like the roar of a tiger, the tennis ball was smashed down from the air, and an ordinary serve was perfectly turned into a smash serve by him.
"So fast, much faster than before."
Oshitari's eyes moved slightly, but he quickly locked onto where the ball would land.
Boom!
The moment he caught the ball, a violent force was transmitted from the racket.
"The power is so strong..."
His expression changed and he didn't insist on fighting back.
"Game, Sengoku Kiyomizu, 30-30."
Boom!
"40-30"
Boom!
"Game, Sengoku Kiyomizu, 2-5."
Sengoku's sudden outburst caught Oshitari off guard.
In his opinion, the opponent was clearly at the end of his strength, so how could he suddenly become so strong again?
However.
Compared with before, Qianshi seemed to have suddenly taken something tonifying. His movements became faster, and the power and accuracy of his counterattacks also improved to a higher level.
With such momentum, Qianshi actually felt like he could save the situation.
ice King.
Atobe looked at Sengoku who had regained his momentum with some surprise, and nodded and said, "This Yamabuki guy is pretty good."
Not everyone can generate new strength in desperate situations.
"Kiyori Sengoku is a super rookie selected by Yamabuki this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one to take over Yamabuki's banner in the future." Uesugi Yu added next to Atobe.
"Yamabuki has always been weak in singles. With the emergence of such a good seedling, it is estimated that the strength will be greatly enhanced in the future." Kaida Nobuyuki sighed when he saw that the situation was not good.
"Don't worry, Senior Kaida. Oshitari's true strength has not been revealed yet." Uesugi Yu couldn't help but laugh. Oshitari is so cunning and cruel now.
"Tsk, Oshitari is really not fancy at all." Atobe did not refute Kamishima Yuu's words, but he couldn't stand Oshitari's untidy fighting style.
"Hehe...your playing style is still the same." Uesugi Yuu was too lazy to complain about Uncle Atobe. He could have won easily, but he had to resort to tricks.
However, they didn't have to wait too long, as Oshitari launched the most fatal attack.
On the court.
"Lucky, good opportunity!"
Sengoku was delighted, as Oshitari's lob was just the right opportunity for him to try out a new move he had discovered not long ago.
He leaped high again.
boom!
The racket swept across with a loud bang, and the tennis ball was hit hard, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, bombarding down with an unstoppable momentum.
"it's over……"
Seeing Sengoku caught in the net, a gleam of light flashed in Oshitari's eyes.
He bent his knees and half-knelt, holding the racket tilted upward, and used the centripetal force of his rapidly rotating body to steadily catch the smash.
Swish!
A yellow light shot up into the sky, flew over the top of Qianshitou, then accelerated down and hit near his bottom line.
"Game, Oshitari Yuushi, 6-2."
"The game is over, Hyotei Academy's Oshitari Yuushi wins!"
With this amazing counterattack, Oshitari completely killed the game.
"What was that just now!?"
Oishi Kikumaru stared at this amazing goal in amazement, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Hyotei's Oshitari Yuushi..."
Fuji opened his eyes and looked at Oshina on the field with some surprise. He had also developed the counterattack just now.
"Hyotei is truly amazing..." Fuji found that he suddenly wanted to find someone to compete with.
Involuntarily, he looked towards Tezuka. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
"Oh, it's finally over. I'm going to stretch my muscles." Uesugi Yu stood up and got ready to go on stage.
As for Atobe, it is still a hidden card that has not been revealed yet, so it will naturally be kept until the critical moment.
On Yamabuki's side, although Sengoku lost the game, everyone still gave him encouragement.
Everyone could see that Qianshi had tried his best and even exceeded his limit. It was a pity that the opponent was too strong.
Although the minister and seniors did not blame him, Qianshi still felt uncomfortable. Losing is losing, and now he just hoped that the next senior would be able to turn the tide.
However, the reality is extremely cruel.
In just eight minutes, Yamabuki failed to score a single point, and Uesugi Yu ended the game cleanly and efficiently.
"Game, Hyotei Academy Kamisama Yuu, 6-0."
"The game is over, the total score is 3-1, Hyotei Academy wins!"
"Oh!"
"Hyotei"... "Hyotei"...
The moment the referee's voice fell, the scene turned into a sea of cheers for Bingdi.
Seeing the dust settled, members from other schools also tactfully left the stadium, leaving the remaining wonderful time to Hyotei.
"Let's go too!"
Tezuka glanced at Uesugi Yuu who was receiving cheers, and left with everyone from Seigaku. After watching today's game, he knew that they still had a long way to go...
…
“This feels pretty good!”
After winning the championship for Hyotei with his own hands, Uesugi Yu's eyes were bright and he had a smile on his face.
