The schedule of the second round is shorter than the first round.
It only took three days for all the games to come to an end.
The atmosphere in the manor was obviously different when I returned.
Because now there are only five teams left: Higa, Hyotei, Tatekai Dai, Seigaku and Shitenhoji.
The team led by Tachibana Yoshihei and Chitose Chisato has been eliminated.
There were attrition in just the second round, which gave everyone a new understanding of the cruelty of the game.
What's more, the Greek team led by Zeus had a huge impact on everyone.
Even if they meet, they may not necessarily be able to reap the benefits.
The third round begins two days later on the weekend.
They still have two days to adjust their status.
At the same time, the coaches, Inui Sadaharu, Yanagi Renji and others have also collected information about several players who have attracted much attention in this tournament.
The night before the game starts.
Everyone gathered in the restaurant in the manor.
They are not here to work, but to listen to the information collected by the coaches, Inui Sadaharu, Durianer and others.
There was a click, and the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out.
The projector began to project the materials prepared by the coaches.
As the son of the Atobe Consortium, Atobe's manor naturally lacks everything.
Inui Sadaharu's voice sounded.
"The first is the seed team led by Zeus, the representative of Greece. There are four people to pay attention to."
"Papadopoulos Evangelos, a sophomore in junior high school, is a highly anticipated newcomer on their team. Although he has little competition experience, he is said to have amazing talent."
"Then there are the Stephanopoulos brothers. They are both first-year junior high school players. They are the descendants of the Stephanopoulos family who have 999 execution methods. I think you have seen their playing style before. "
"The last one is Zeus Yinliopoulos, a third-year junior high school student. It is said that he is the best junior high school student in Europe, but he has not made a move so far, so his strength is a mystery."
Information and photos about these people flashed on the screen one by one.
Everyone at the scene had different thoughts. They had seen the strength of the Greek team before.
Definitely not to be underestimated.
Then Liu Rener took over the conversation.
"Then there is the German team, which has the only professional player in this conference. The German U-17 team has won nine consecutive World Cup championships. Their strength is very scary."
"Berti Barisavage Polk, he was turned professional this year and started to make a name for himself in the professional arena. He had already graduated and was recalled by the school after the news came out in the conference. Although he is a professional player who focuses on doubles player, but this time he is debuting as a singles player."
No matter how strong the opponent is, the title of being the only professional player in this tournament is enough for everyone to remember his name.
"Then there's the French team..."
"Swiss team..."
"The Spanish team..."
As the information was revealed bit by bit, everyone's expressions became solemn.
These players are all elites from various countries. Some of them are on the same team, and some of them are on several different teams.
But no matter what, their overall strength puts a lot of pressure on everyone. If they meet in the upcoming third round, it will probably be a fierce battle.
"That's roughly it. Don't be too nervous. You are also talented players. In my opinion, you will not be worse than them."
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense, Hanamura Aoi appropriately said a kind word.
This is not nonsense. In the opinion of Aoi Hanamura, the talents of many of the people sitting here are no less than those of these strong men from all over the world.
Shintaro nodded and said: "Yes, I hope you can have more confidence in yourself. If you defeat them, you will let the world hear your name."
Seeing this, An Shijin naturally knew what he should do.
"This time the championship must belong to our Higa Junior High School!"
An Shijin's bold words lit up the eyes of many people present.
"The championship belongs to us, Li Hai!
"
"No one can take away what I, the king, likes!"
"Go ahead with all your concentration!"
"Hmm~~The winner takes it all!"
...
weekend.
The third round of competition started again.
Among the neon representatives, Higa Junior High School was the first to appear.
Their opponent is a well-known team from Belgium.
It is worth mentioning that the coach of this Belgian team is an acquaintance of Aoi Hanamura.
Aoi Hanamura once served as an assistant coach at this tennis school and was considered a colleague.
The opponent did not expect to meet Aoi Hanamura here. The two exchanged a few words and then turned their attention to the court.
The Belgian U-17 team ranks high in the world and is one of the top ten teams in the world.
Their reserve players are naturally very strong, and what An Shijin and others faced was a team that was among the top two in strength among the teams sent by Belgium.
From the very beginning, the Belgian team defeated Hira Furuba and Chinenkan.
5:7,6:4,3:6.
Ping Furuba and Chinen Kan narrowly lost their opponents with a score of 1:2.
And their failure also made the players from other schools who came to watch the competition more clearly understand the intensity of the competition in this conference.
Higa Junior High School also suffered a defeat in the first doubles match.
But then Keith and Lin Xiu evened the score.
Their performance directly shocked the Belgian coach.
The subsequent singles also resulted in a win and a loss, and the game finally came to a singles-deciding stage.
Kute naturally won the game, but Kai also lost to his opponent.
I have to say that Belgian players are really capable.
Even Kai's time difference playstyle was cracked by the opponent after they adapted.
The best-of-three-set format further tests the players' balance of strength and adjustments to the game state. It is unrealistic to try to break the game with a strange move.
Even if you can win a set, you will soon be caught up and surpassed by your opponent.
Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard on the sidelines, Ninzu Yushi said indifferently: "Two wins and two losses, Amuro will be playing next from Higa Junior High School, right?!"
Atobe chuckled and said, "Unless coach Hanamura's head is broken, the guy who will be in charge of the one-on-one match will definitely be Amuro."
Then, under the gaze of everyone, An Shijin slowly stood up.
He took off his jacket and carried the racket down to the court.
This is the first time An Shijin has appeared at this conference.
It was also his first step in becoming famous.
Although he is still an unknown player now, everyone believes that after this competition, An Shijin's name will be resounding around the world.
