"Grandma Shan!! Look, look!"
“So many people!!”
"Is this a real tennis match?"
A red-haired boy was jumping around the arena, looking around, and shouted to the old lady behind him.
"Kintaro, you are blocking others like this, just sit down and watch."
Granny Shan glanced at Kintaro Toyama who was jumping on the guardrail, and pulled him to speak.
"Wow! It looks so exciting!"
"I want to play here too!"
"It must be fun!"
The boy named Kintaro Toyama shouted, laughing and joking without any sense of nervousness at all.
"When you go to junior high school, find a tennis club and you can play junior high school games."
"Look, the young people standing there are all junior high school students."
"Maybe there will be your teammates or opponents in the future."
Grandma Shan looked at the enthusiastic young man and then greeted him.
Because the coaching competition with junior high school students was scheduled in Kansai, Granny Shan brought Kintaro Toyama here after receiving the invitation.
She happened to also want Kintaro to see some players with different styles.
This child's talents are far beyond ordinary people
On the other side, Nanjiro Echizen was sitting in the front row of the audience watching the game with his son Ryoma Echizen who had rushed back from the United States.
"How about it? Is it much better than the competition you encountered in the United States?"
Nanjiro looked at his slumped face, and then asked.
“Not even close”
Putting his hands in his pockets and lowering the brim of his hat, trying not to let others see his expression clearly, Ryoma said in a calm tone.
"Hey, you kid is really not frank."
"It's okay. I believe you will have new thoughts after watching the game."
Nanjiro saw that Ryoma still maintained his arrogant appearance, but he didn't care and spoke instead.
"."
Hearing this, Ryoma didn't understand why this smelly dad had so much confidence.
No matter how you look at it, Jabberwock is not a player that ordinary middle school students can deal with.
"In tennis, it's not necessarily the older player who wins."
"So, you are still far from good."
…………
"There are still fifteen minutes until the game starts. All of you should go warm up and prepare."
In the lounge, everyone who was still waiting for Coach Sakaki and Osamu Watanabe to announce the lineup heard this sentence.
"Well?"
"Don't you need to announce the lineup?"
With a trace of doubt, Kikumaru raised his hand weakly and asked.
His question is also what everyone thinks.
The game is about to start, so we shouldn’t hide the list until the last minute, right?
"no need."
"Jabberwock's coaching competition, we have a special privilege here."
"Before the game starts, the players can be replaced at any time according to their playing personnel."
"It's equivalent to us having the right to choose any player to play against them."
Osamu Watanabe saw that everyone was holding it back, and finally told the matter.
"That's really confident."
To put it nicely, it means you believe in your own strength, but to say it worse, it means that you feel that your opponent is not a threat, so you can play your cards at will.
This is also in line with the ideas and guidance of the Jabberwock team members.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed a very good privilege for disadvantaged junior high school students who are being mentored.
Even if you can't beat them, you can still choose similar or targeted players to have a try and see their shortcomings or experiences worth learning.
After all, it is still a formal coaching competition in name, not a serious competition.
"Okay. I feel their arrogance."
When Qingfeng heard this, he clenched his fists and became excited.
The relationship not only allows them to make the first move, but they are not afraid of being targeted, right?
This privilege also increases their chances of winning in disguise.
"I feel underestimated."
Yukimura closed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.
"This also shows that they are very confident in their own strength."
Bai Jin felt that the conditions offered by the other party were based on his own strength.
"This privilege is indeed one of the factors that lead to a surprise victory."
"Although the chance is very small, it is not impossible for you."
"But it's not without requirements..."
After a long time, Coach Sakaki suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Hearing this, a group of people were startled.
"They are a team of experts who travel around the world. You can't underestimate each other."
"In the game, you will definitely experience a different confrontation than before."
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The coaching competition is not that simple."
Coach Sakaki slowly explained that Nash, the captain who single-handedly founded Jabberwock, was not a simple person.
He traveled around the world, and in addition to pushing his own limits, he also recruited many capable people to join his team.
For example, the Australian prodigy Noah and the wandering Echizen Ryuya.
This is a two-way transaction
Jabberwock allows you to experience a higher level of competition
But the price is if you have that strength.
If it breaks when touched, there will be no experience.
Of course, if there is a player who can compete with them, it won't be a loss, at least they will notice this person's development.
This is why Nash doesn't care that there are "traitors" like Long Ya in Jabberwock.
"In short, if the level is high enough, it's a win-win situation?"
After sorting out the relationship, Kise spoke in confusion.
"No matter how you think about it, it won't be worthwhile in the future."
Midorima hit his head and denied.
Assuming that they really win now, and Nash brings the information back, the American team will definitely focus on them and be wary of them in the future.
It is equivalent to exposing the situation of our own underdeveloped players.
"Actually, there's nothing to mind, right?"
Seeing a group of people looking very unhappy, Bai Jin said bluntly.
"Although they can know our details, it doesn't mean that we have always been at this level."
"If we dare to use past data to measure us in the future, I believe they will lose even more miserably."
"Rather, it would be more convenient for us to go all out here and defeat them."
Whether it's Tezuka, Yukimura or anyone else, Shiraizu is convinced that they are definitely not players who are satisfied with stopping there.
You Nash want to find out our background, right?
Okay, just use full firepower to overwhelm your team.
If you ask the sponsor behind you to scold you directly, you will really lose miserably. He won't believe you unless you bear some price.
"Hey, that sounds interesting."
Having said this, Qingfeng and Kagami no longer felt sleepy, but their faces were full of energy.
"Hmph, defeat them!"
Sanada tightened his grip on the racket in his hand and quite agreed with Shirazu's statement.
Since you dare to grant such privileges, don't blame them for being serious.
There are so many different types of people they can beat here!
