The Kanto Tournament then started with the addition of new rules...
There were no surprises for Rikkai Dai, Seigaku, Teikou, Yamabuki, and Hyotei. They all achieved overwhelming victories in the first round.
Even if there are additional rules of the scoring system, it will not hinder their progress at all.
Therefore, at the beginning of the second round, the most eye-catching match is naturally the match between Teikou and Yamabuki.
Except for the members of Tachibana who were also in the competition, almost everyone from Seigaku and Hyotei were in the audience.
"What's this fight about?"
Haizaki sat on the chair with his legs crossed, looking at the bad battle situation on the field, and complained dissatisfiedly.
"Di Guang wins this round! Score!"
"6-0!!"
………
"Sure enough, they became stronger."
Sengoku was not surprised by the first defeat in the doubles. Perhaps Kita and Nito had also strengthened their training, but they were still not as talented as Teiko.
After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to cross the barrier between Tao and genius.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Momoi looked at the end of Kagami and Kuroko and said happily.
"It's nothing, it's just that the opponent is too average."
Although Vulcan's words were hurtful, for them who have become stronger now, how could they stop them if they were not players of the same level.
"I scored 6 points at the beginning, which was a bit too fatal for Yamabuki."
"Isn't Yamabuki said to be very good at doubles? Why do you just explain it like this?"
"You are stupid! Didn't you know that Diguang is very strong? Do you think the opponent's level is something that ordinary players can handle?"
There were a lot of discussions in the stands. For those who came to watch the competition from the capital, Teikou's victory was expected.
After all, this is a school that has been feeding its opponents eggs since the regional competition.
"Taro, Masami..."
"Don't have so much psychological pressure."
"Just play your own tennis."
The next No. 1 doubles team is Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata. Banlao is actually very satisfied with this doubles team.
From the perspective of the past, these two people will have a place in the national competition as they grow up.
But he happened to be born at the wrong time, and met a school where legendary talents like Di Guang were put together.
The upper limit has been raised, and talents that originally seemed good have become as mediocre as ordinary people.
Obviously they performed very well in doubles against other schools, but they were overwhelmed when they met Teiko.
"Hey, old man, don't you want to win?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Haizaki was a little dissatisfied. He came with the intention of defeating Di Guang.
How can you do it if your teammates hold you back so hard?
"Haizaki, don't be so anxious."
"You'll find out when you get on the court."
Seeing that Haizaki was a little irritable, Qianshi immediately spoke to persuade him.
(This guy doesn’t understand how powerful the Emperor’s Light is...)
I also know that Haizaki has never understood the strength of his opponent and only blindly trusts his own strength.
But Qianshi didn't bother to say anything to him. He would know why when he went up and received a severe beating himself.
Qianshi and others can't get along with this kind of guy.
"It's okay, Ban Lao, we will try our best to score points."
"Yes, I believe that doubles depends on the cooperation and understanding between the two."
Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata had lost to Kuroko and Aomine before, but this was their second encounter with Teikou, so naturally they wanted to try new tactics.
They still want to try whether they can shake the "dragon" in front of them.
"Come on! Murasaki-kun, Midorima-kun!"
The purple and green combination picked up their new rackets and walked onto the court.
Both of them, who had begun to grow, had grown significantly taller.
So much so that compared with Yamabuki, they are somewhat different in height.
"Please give me some advice!"
………
Returning to the service line, Midorima glanced at his opponent's position, immediately threw the ball up, and then hit it.
"Snapped!"
"Whoosh!"
"boom!"
"15-0!"
"So fast!"
After scoring a goal, Midorima's effortless movements produced unexpected speed.
Ace ball!
"30-0!"
"40-0!"
"1-0!"
In the next three rounds, Midorima scored points smoothly without any fluctuation.
"Hmm... Midorima Shintaro? It's really like a machine."
"Atobe? Did you see anything again?"
In the stands, everyone from Atobe and Hyotei watched the battle, and Renzu had some doubts about Atobe's statement.
"There is no blind spot, that guy."
"The action when serving and the rhythm when hitting the ball are all in one go. These four balls are almost all hit at the same speed without any fluctuation."
"With that precise ball control, he's a tough opponent."
Aobe tilted his head and explained the information he observed.
Although he knew that there would always be blind spots in his eyes, it was still a bit surprising that they appeared so quickly.
He spoke "arrogantly" some time ago, but he will not underestimate Qing Xue and Di Guang.
You want to know why Atobe Keigo spent a lot of money to go abroad and become stronger?
Wasn't it because he was stimulated by the battle between Qing Xue and Di Guang?
"There is no way to serve, so defend..."
Masami Higashikata and Kentaro Minami didn't care too much about conceding the ball, but immediately thought about how to counterattack.
Hitting the ball... Unfortunately, as soon as the ball passed the net, Murasakibara's body appeared in front of the net.
"when?"
"Why is he unexpectedly agile for such a tall man?"
"boom!"
"15-0!"
Compared to Murasakibara before, he is much more active now.
"2-0!"
The next serve was still intercepted by Murasakihara as it bounced directly in front of the net, unable to go to the backcourt. It was like a high wall blocking the way, making it impossible to cross.
"One for defense and one for offense?"
"The division of labor is really clear..."
Kentaro Minami looked at Murasakibara who was motionless, curled his lips and whispered, and then he made a gesture to Masami Touhou.
(Bottom line tactics?)
Knowing Kentaro Minami's thoughts at a glance, Masami Oriental nodded, and the two began to retreat together.
"Um?"
Midorima naturally also noticed the changes in the opponent's lineup.
"Want to retreat to the baseline and play defensive counterattack?"
Although I really want to praise the opponent's timely change of formation, it is a pity...
"For Murasakihara and me, your ideas are too naive."
As soon as Murasakihara finished serving, Midorima went straight to the net, leaving him on the baseline.
This rhythm of offensive and defensive exchanges directly surprised Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata.
"boom!"
As soon as he hit the ball back, he was intercepted by Midorima and hit the ball on the edge of the sideline.
"3-0!"
Still nothing has changed. The strength of Midorima and Murasakibara is like an insurmountable mountain, making people feel suffocated and desperate.
"It's not over yet!"
"yes!"
But Minami Kentaro and Eastern Masami still did not give up, but chose to continue charging and fighting.
Although the spirit of the two was commendable, in the face of the huge gap in strength, they could not affect any process or results.
"This round is won by Di Guang! The score...!"
"6-0!"
After losing two doubles matches, the total score has reached 12-0!
Yamabuki has reached the edge of the cliff...
And the next singles number three they issued was...
Shogo Haizaki!
