Chapter 53: No comparison, no harm
"No way, why are our opponents Shangshan and you guys!"
On the court, Xiang Ri said speechlessly. And why is his teammate such a pervert?
Taking a look at Golden Xiaochun who was acting infatuatedly next to him, Xiangri felt that the fate of their group was worrying.
"Hehe... Xiangri, if you admit defeat, we won't mind."
Shangshan You saw Xiang Risheng's hopeless expression and smiled softly.
“Oh, no, we finally met Uesugi-san and Kenye-kun, let’s enjoy it!”
Golden Koharu ignored Xiangri's hot face and stared at Uesugi Yu and Oshiro Kenya with shining eyes.
"Xiaochun, stop being crazy!"
Kenye Oshitari held his forehead with his hand, thinking that their teammates were more weird than each other.
…
"Xiaochun, don't have an affair while I'm away!"
On the next court, Yuji Ichiuji yelled at Golden Koharu with an angry look on his face, and Shishido Ryo beside him couldn't help but tremble a few times.
"So playing doubles with Xiangri is such a wonderful thing!"
Pursing his lips, Shishido Ryo just wanted to end the game quickly.
At the same time, the combinations of the other two stadiums were also ready.
"The game is about to begin!"
Soon, four professionals in uniform came to the court. Judging from their attire, they should be professional coaches from a tennis club.
"Coach Sakaki is really well prepared." Watanabe Osamu looked at the four referees with formal and serious expressions, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.
…
"The match begins, with Uesugi Yuu and Oshitari Kenya facing off against Mukai Taketo and Golden Haru."
…
"The match begins, with Atobe Keigo and Hara Tetsuya facing off against Oshitari Yuushi and Shiraishi Kuranosuke."
…
…
boom!
boom!
The four courts started playing at the same time, and for a while the sounds of balls hitting the courts were endless.
…
"Coach Sakaki, to be honest, I still don't quite understand the purpose of doing this."
Seeing that there was no one around, Watanabe Osamu asked Sakaki Taro beside him with a hint of doubt.
Logically, they had already obtained the players' data and could have started targeted training, but now Taro Sakaki wanted him to go through a round of eliminations before training, which surprised him.
"Mr. Watanabe has probably never managed a company." Sakaki Taro said with his arms folded across his chest and a cold expression.
“Ha~”
Watanabe Osamu was stunned, pressed down the straw hat on his head, and then nodded affirmatively. He was a little embarrassed by Sakaki Taro's answer.
"I feel like this big guy is hinting at something to me?" Although he was confused, he waited obediently for Taro Sakaki's explanation.
"Incentive System!"
"Everyone here has their own desire to win subconsciously, whether it is competing with the school team or with teams outside the school.
When they compete with each other, this desire to win will be stimulated. When the loser can only watch the winner enjoy everything, he will feel unbalanced.
In the days that follow, the will to win in the hearts of the losers will naturally be magnified, and this is a very realistic stimulus. "
Taro Sakaki briefly talked about his coaching philosophy, which is cruel, but very realistic in the field of sports competition.
After hearing this, Watanabe Osamu fell into deep thought. Although Sakaki Taro's ideas were somewhat different from his, this advice still gave him great inspiration.
Ideas need constant communication to become more perfect.
He had also thought about it and would see the effect of Taro Sakaki's training method. If it was good, he could absorb some of the essence and integrate it into their Shitenhoji.
…
boom!
"Flow Star!"
With a shout of joy, Ken Oshitari caught up with the tennis ball at high speed, and using the kinetic energy of his body, he swung the racket with force.
Snapped!
The tennis ball passed through the center line between Golden Koharu and Mukai Taketo.
"Game, Uesugi Yuu, Oshitari Kenya, 6-2"
"The game is over, Uesugi Yuu and Oshitari Kenya won!"
The game went very fast.
The group of Yu Uesugi and Kenya Oshitari was the first to win.
"Shangshan, it's so fun to play doubles with you!" said Kenye Oshitari with a warm smile on his face.
He didn't have to worry about the backcourt when he was paired with Uesugi Yuu, and the entire first half was his running field. This super high foot speed combined with fast attack is exactly what he likes.
"Haha... Oshitari-san performed very well too." After winning the game, Uesugi Yuu was in a good mood. With his constant cooperation and support, how could Oshitari Ken not be happy?
As the loser, Taketo Mukai looked at the smiling golden Koharu with a helpless look on his face. The two of them had no tacit understanding at all. The only way he could win the two games was thanks to Koharu's tennis data.
Half an hour later.
The other three games have also ended.
Ishida Gin and Akutagawa Jiro defeated Koishikawa and Kumaji.
Kaida Nobuyuki and Taira Yoshiyuki defeated Shishido Ryo and Ichiuji Yuji.
The most interesting thing is that the group of Shiraishi and Yuji actually defeated the group of Atobe and Hara Tetsu 6-4.
Yuushi Oshitari was in full force in this match, and he cooperated with Shiraishi to defeat Atobe.
…
"That's great, Haru!"
"Yuji!"
“We are not separated!”*2
Although both Koharu and Yuji lost, they hugged each other happily after the game.
…
“Huh~”
This is the sigh of the Guanxi Wolf whose fighting spirit has cooled.
…
Atobe frowned, looking frustrated. He was used to doubles, but facing two strong opponents, he was unable to recover even after opening the Ice World.
"Okay, now the winner has been decided, please step out, losers!"
Watanabe Osamu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
tread……
The four failed groups took a step forward with somewhat ugly expressions.
Seeing that Atobe was also in the queue, Watanabe Osamu suppressed the smile in his heart, controlled the expression on his face, and stopped provoking everyone.
"Next is the punishment for the losers. Now the losers need to put on their training gear and split into two groups. One group will go through the forest to get tableware, and the other group will go to the creek to catch fish."
Watanabe Osamu tried his best to look serious as he read out the punishment task.
"Catch fish?!"
Atobe's brows, which had not yet relaxed, furrowed further. He turned around and glanced at Uesugi Yu in the crowd, his eyes full of confusion.
Seeing this, Shangshanyou curled his lips and spread his hands.
"This matter really has nothing to do with me, don't look at me." Kamishima Yu directly responded with a helpless look, regardless of whether Atobe understood it or not.
Only when Yuushi Oshitari heard the word "catch fish" he gently pushed up his glasses and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Everyone at Shitenhoji didn't quite understand, but soon, the training items that Watanabe Shu mentioned were brought up.
Wooden rackets, wrists, ankles and a dozen balloons.
"Okay, you guys can choose whether to be the fishing team or the tableware team."
Watanabe Osamu smiled and said, let the eight people in the loser group make their own choice.
The eight people looked at each other, but Mukai Taketo and Shishido Ryo, who knew some inside information, came out first.
They choose to catch fish!
The last jungle training had already left a deep impression on them.
soon.
Atobe, Mukai, Shishido, and Hara Tetsu choose to go catch fish, while Koishikawa, Yuji, Koharu, and Sakamoto decide to get tableware.
"Okay, let's get ready to go!"
Watanabe Osamu said with a hint of bewitching.
"Also, the first person to complete their respective punishment tasks can come back and challenge one person from the winner group again. This is the last chance today!"
Like the devil's whisper, Watanabe Osamu's words immediately made the eyes of the losing group burn with fighting spirit.
"Very good! I will teach these bastards a lesson!"
Atobe took the lead, tied weights on his hands and feet, and walked out first with a wooden racket.
His mission goal is to catch five fish using a tennis ball!
As for the tableware set, it was even more miserable. After tying ankle weights on the feet, three balloons were tied around the waist, which looked very funny.
Their task is to get the tableware without breaking two or more balloons.
"Okay, let's start!" Watanabe Osamu announced.
The losers will leave the field and go to the wild; the winning group will start special training on the court and in the training room.
Despite this, there was not much happiness on the faces of the winners.
The aggressive momentum shown by the losing group when they left still put a lot of pressure on the winning group. If they were brought down again, it would be a lot of fun.
