"Why do we have to play a doubles match?"
"Although it is also a tie-break, is it too cumbersome?"
"Is that manager really reliable?"
"Hush, you are so bold for daring to question Aida-senpai's identity."
In the subsequent events, many people were filled with confusion and questions when they learned that their side would have to cooperate in a tie-break doubles match.
In their view, even though the three consecutive singles games only had a few goals, they should have proved something, right?
However, no matter how they complained, they could only hold their heads down and continue to persevere.
It's impossible to give up here.
"Hey, hey, hey, draw lots to decide your partner or something."
"Don't make me a drag."
"This is troublesome."
Looking at the box placed by Reiko Aida on the table, the faces of the people who realized what was going to happen were not very good.
Even Reo Minoru and others who are excellent in their own abilities find it difficult.
After all, in addition to relying on one's own abilities, doubles also relies on the cooperation and strength of another person.
Once one party pulls their hips and encounters a stronger opponent, they will basically face the risk of one versus two, and eventual defeat is not impossible.
They don't have the super-standard strength of one against two like their predecessors.
"Start drawing lots!!"
"First one on the right starts first!"
"The order is No. 1-106. Corresponds to the first No. 107-212 in line!"
"After finishing the drawing, find your partner, gather together and report to Midorima-senpai, and then follow the assignment."
Reiko Aida started to call out to the newlyweds who were standing in line.
In order to test whether there would be any strong doubles specialists here, of course she and Midorima had to use some tricks.
Just drawing lots won't do much, the main thing is to choose the strength of your opponent.
Take the newcomers with outstanding high scores just now. It would be a bit of a waste not to choose some strong opponents for them to fight against.
"rustle."
People kept coming up to draw the lots, and then returned to their original positions, counting which person they should go to.
Because the two groups of people were deliberately separated from No. 106, it was easy to find their partners.
"Why is it this guy!"
"Ruined!"
"Oh, we two can definitely win!"
Some people are happy and some are worried.
Not everyone can choose their favorite partner.
But they were unable to resist, and in the end they were forced to go find Midorima, and were then assigned to the corresponding stadium for confrontation.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
"I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't intentional."
Reo Minoruchi just walked to the court, glanced at her partner and opponent, and whispered.
I haven't learned much about his partner, but his opponent is not simple.
(If I remember correctly, their names are.)
Kotaro Hayama.
Genwu Gu Yongji.
He had a slight impression of these two people. He had seen the competition just now. They both defeated their opponents in a very easy way. One was more focused on speed and the other was more powerful.
"Please give me more advice."
"Watch me defeat you with my power!"
Compared with Kotaro Hayama's friendly look, Nebutani Nagakichi is much weirder. He has a calm and impatient look on his face, as if he is very confident in his own strength.
"boom!!"
The game started under such circumstances.
"boom!!"
Minoru Reo's teammate hit an ordinary serve, but was immediately hit back by Nebutani Eikichi.
This move made Reo Michibuchi immediately make a judgment and go to catch the ball.
"oh?"
Seeing Reo Minoruchi catching the ball without fear, Ekichi Nebutani stared at him.
He and Hayama have also watched this person's games and know that he is a very strong player.
"There?"
At the first glance, he had caught a glimpse of the positions of Nebutani Eikichi and Hayama Kotaro, and Michibuchi Reo seized this opportunity to hit the tennis ball towards the gap between the two.
"Snapped!"
Although you can feel a brute force when catching the ball, hitting back is not difficult for Reo Mibuchi.
"Tsk"
Kotaro Hayama can catch up with this position, but due to posture and angle problems, he is destined to be unable to produce any good quality counterattacks.
"boom!"
Michibuchi Reo allowed her teammates to catch the ball, but the latter's counterattack was quite straining.
As if he didn't know where to hit the ball, he was forced to hit a high return ball.
"drink!!"
But the result was that Nebutani Yongji seized the opportunity and scored with a smash.
"1-0!"
"Haha! It's really a free gift!"
After scoring directly, Nebutani Yongji was so proud that he returned to his position.
He knew that his partner was a pretty good guy, so he was quite relieved.
"Then let's go here!"
It was Kotaro Hayama's turn to serve, and he hit a fast straight serve to the other side away from Reo Mibuchi.
"boom!"
"2-0!"
The speed was so fast that even Reo Minoru's teammates were unable to react.
"Sure enough, you may be strong, but your teammates are too weak."
Although the ball I hit was just over 190KM, it seemed too easy to deal with this kind of thing.
Minoru Reo is strong, but it's not always his turn to catch the ball.
Therefore, as long as he and Nebutani Eikichi aim at their teammates and attack fiercely, there is nothing that Reio can do.
This is the fatal flaw in doubles when there is a weak opponent in the other team's combination when encountering a strong opponent.
"boom!!"
"3-0!"
"3-1!"
"3-2!"
"4-2!"
"4-3!"
"5-3!"
Even though Minori Reo could occasionally recover a few points by relying on her own strength, she couldn't stand up to her teammates who were full of loopholes and got blown away.
He can't even make up for it.
7-4!
In the end, we lost the first game by losing 3 points.
"Feel sorry!"
The apology from his teammates did not allow Reo Mibuchi to blame anything. After all, it was indeed his group of opponents who were too strong.
He won't lose in one-on-one, but both of them are strong opponents, which is too unfriendly to ordinary teammates.
"You win."
On the contrary, he frankly admitted that he had lost and did not compete.
"Of course! How could you possibly beat me?"
"Hey, just good luck."
Compared to Nebutani Eikichi's countless performances, Kotaro Hayama is much more modest.
(That’s it.)
After just observing for a while, Midorima already knew the result, so there were not many surprises.
What he was interested in was the doubles match of another group.
He looked towards the stadium next to him, where the newly paired members were entering the stadium.
Muji Teppei Hanamiya Makoto.
There are some weird combinations. It can only be said that people with inexplicable bad connections in another world are grouped together.
On the other hand, the other side is.
"Hey, you have to catch the next ball for me."
"At least give me a chance to fight back."
Kaibin reminded the gray-haired teammate next to him.
He doesn't expect this teammate to be of much help, he just hopes it won't hold him back.
"knew"
The gray-haired boy looked at him silently, then nodded.
(There seems to be a chance.)
(Like that senior.)
Looking at Kaibin, Dai Qianxun seemed to know what would happen next, and couldn't help but think about it.
