Chapter 132 Victory in the first battle
As this highly anticipated list appeared on the big screen, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be ignited instantly, and boiling waves surged from all directions.
The lights focused on the list, and the appearance of these two people's names ignited the whole audience.
Of course, they are mainly junior high school students from Neon Kanto.
"It's Tachibana! The captain is about to go on stage!"
The Fudomine team members were so excited that they almost jumped up. Their cheers penetrated the noise of the crowd and became the loudest sound at the moment.
In their hearts, Tachibana is not only the captain, but also their faith. Every time his name is mentioned, the morale of the people in Fudo Peak is boosted.
However, amidst this jubilation, there is also a hint of confusion and doubt.
Momoshiro Takeshi frowned slightly, his eyes scanning the list back and forth, finally stopping on the two names "Tachibana" and "Niou".
"Are Tachibana and Niou teaming up for doubles? Is this arrangement really reasonable?"
He muttered to himself, after all, Tachibana was well-known in Kanto for his outstanding singles skills, and such a change was undoubtedly surprising.
What Momoshiro was more eager to see was the match between Fuji and Echizen.
Inui Sadaharu stepped forward at the right time and answered Taocheng's doubts with his unique calmness and rationality.
"Atao, you don't know." Qian's voice was particularly clear in the noise.
"Tachibana was originally an outstanding doubles player, his doubles ability was not inferior to singles. However, due to an accident, he accidentally injured a teammate, which made him feel deeply guilty. To make up for his mistake, he resolutely switched to singles."
"And today, he's standing on the doubles stage again, teaming up with Nioh, and there's a good chance he'll recapture his former glory."
If I'm not mistaken, Tianyu's arrangement of these two to form a doubles team may have a lot to do with Nioh, after all, he knows that move.
He continued, "Also, according to the information I've gathered, Captain Tachibana and the now-famous player in Osaka were once the top-ranked doubles team in the country. There's absolutely no problem letting Tachibana play doubles."
As Qian explained, Taocheng's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable anticipation and excitement.
He seemed to have already seen the scene on the court where Tachibana and Nioh fought side by side, defeating the U.S. West Coast team with their unmatched doubles strength.
At this moment, all speculations and doubts turned into infinite anticipation for the upcoming game.
……
The match is about to begin, Niou and Tachibana stand in front of Tianyu, and Tianyu is giving the final "instructions".
What, you mean the West Coast team’s appearance shot? Tianyu could only say how could he possibly give his opponents face.
"I didn't expect to be in a tag team with you, Niou."
"Pfft, I didn't expect that either."
Seeing the relatively harmonious atmosphere between the two, Tianyu also relaxed and looked at Renwang.
"Niou, you should be able to transform that man, right? I remember that Rikkai University's intelligence gathering capabilities are quite impressive."
Of course, Niou knew who Tianyu was talking about. He looked at Ju and asked tentatively, "I'm fine. Are you OK, Ju?"
Tachibana took a deep breath and said, "Chitose, I haven't seen him for a long time, but I don't have any problems now."
"Okay, let's go ahead, Tachibana, Niou, let's get the two heroes of Kyushu back on the field!"
"Yes!"
Tachibana and Chitose were instantly ignited.
……
Fifteen minutes later, Billy Casey and Mike Lee looked at each other with despair.
(This is an abbreviation. I have already written about it in detail when I was fighting Hyotei.)
This is the strongest opponent they have encountered so far.
Especially that blond man, he played like he was risking his life, there was no defense at all, it was all offense.
Speaking of defense, they were already desperate. No matter how they attacked, they could not break through the brown-haired and curly-haired boy transformed by the white-haired boy in the opponent's backcourt.
Not to mention that the opponent would occasionally use a trick called "Invisibility", where the tennis ball would suddenly disappear.
Are you sure this is tennis?
Coach Beike's face also turned pale. These two players were even stronger than the doubles team they had played against Hyotei before.
Is this the end of this? Why does Tianyu always keep biting him?
(Tianyu: I feel so wronged. I was also deceived. I originally wanted to just do some paddling, but I became the head coach out of nowhere. Woohoo)
……
Soon after, the list of doubles matches was released.
Kanto Youth Team: Yanagi Renji, Kirihara Akaya
United States West Coast Team: Tom Griffey, Terry Griffey
Tianyu naturally had his own reasons for sending this pair from Rikkai University.
Even if the opponent used that tennis ball trick that hit the back of the head, Liu's data tennis was enough to calculate where the ball would land.
Blocking their sight, this trick is useless in front of Liu!
(Qian: Then why don’t you let me go? Tianyu: Don’t you have any idea? You are definitely not as strong as Liu Qiang.)
Of course, Tianyu also has his own selfish motives.
Before the game, Tianyu looked at Kirihara Akaya who looked excited and spoke.
"Kirihara-san, long time no see."
Kirihara Akaya was a little scared. Obviously, the devil image of Tianyu in his mind had not disappeared.
Of course, Tianyu didn't care about these.
"Give it your all in this match and let out the demons in your heart."
Kirihara Akashi was also confused. He looked at Yanagi Renji at a loss.
Yanagi Renji wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Tianyu.
"Why did you let Akaya do this? It's almost certain that this will harm Akaya's body!"
"So, will that keep him at this level for the rest of his life? Suppress his original strength."
Yanagi Renji was silent. Reason told him that if Kirihara Akaya didn't do this, his life might be in danger.
But his sense of honor for Rikkai University kept urging him to let Kirihara release himself.
Tianyu looked at the silent Liu and ignored him, letting him think about it himself.
He stopped Kirihara before because Kirihara's physical condition could not withstand his use of such skills that would cause such great harm to his body.
But now, Kirihara has improved his physical fitness after a series of competitions and Sanada's devilish daily training.
As long as he can control that state, his strength will be able to reach a higher level!
As for strengthening Rikkai University's strength? Don't be ridiculous, Tianyu would be afraid of this? Hyotei's strength will only be more terrifying!
"What's your opinion, Kirihara Akaya?" Tianyu fixed his eyes on Kirihara.
Although Kirihara didn't want to worry his senior, he had been suppressing his strength for a long time.
Now he just wants to make a big fuss!
