Chapter 241 Doubles 2·
The next day, as the first ray of sunshine shone on the land of the Australian capital, the clubhouse, which was rarely quiet at night, became noisy again, and the teams that needed to participate in the competition once again began to rush to their own battlefields.
This is the last game of the first round of the group stage. The result of today's game will determine the final team to advance in each group.
As players against the Swiss team in this round, Ryu and Amamiya Arashi no longer walked directly to the players' seats. Instead, they followed Byodoin from the player tunnel to the playing field to conduct pre-game etiquette with the Swiss players on the opposite side.
In the player's seat, Marui looked at the two tall men from the Swiss team who could see each other at a glance even though they were covered by their clothes. The look on Marui's face became increasingly difficult to look at.
"Marui-senpai, what's wrong with you?" Kirihara looked at Marui with some concern.
After hearing Kirihara's words, Marui took a few deep breaths and then managed to control his expression. Then he raised a smile and said to Kirihara, "I'm fine."
After hearing Marui say that he was fine, Kirihara stopped asking questions, and instead looked towards the arena with burning eyes.
Yukimura smiled at Marui after he answered Kirihara's words. Maybe Yukimura's smile greatly encouraged Marui. After seeing Yukimura still looking calm, Marui finally felt more at ease.
Although he believed in Tiangong Lan and Liu, the words "A proud soldier will be defeated" that Tiangong Lan said yesterday afternoon were still firmly welded in his mind.
……
After both sides completed the pre-match etiquette, the doubles began soon.
The Swiss team played the muscular Randy Pugu and Albert Federer, while the R national team, just as Amamiya Arashi and Yanagi thought, was faced by Ishida and Watanabe.
When these four people just stepped onto the court, Aigaku's Horio, his two followers, and Kosakada Tomoka finally set foot on Australian soil. After receiving the news, Ryuzaki Sakurano learned that there was no Echizen today. After the game, he happily agreed to pick up these four people at the airport.
"boom!"
Randy, who got the right to serve, couldn't wait to serve. Perhaps due to unexpected reasons, neither Watanabe nor Ishida successfully received the ball, and Randy of the Swiss team directly served and scored.
Seeing Randy easily score a goal, the Swiss fans shouted excitedly.
The sudden warm atmosphere in the audience made Watanabe feel uncomfortable. He glared at Randy fiercely, and then decided to stare at him closely. Unfortunately... this was not a wise idea.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two more balls hit both sides of the court at very fast speeds.
"40-0! The Swiss team scores!" the referee's voice sounded, and cold sweat broke out on Ishida's forehead.
He didn't see it clearly at all... and this power... Ishida looked at the cracked field and silently took a few steps closer to Watanabe.
Watanabe looked at Randy with confusion. He was full of doubts. He had been staring at the opponent, but he failed to see the opponent's ball path clearly...
Watanabe, who was determined to hit back the next ball successfully, began to hold the racket with both hands and stared intently at the small yellow ball being thrown into the air.
"boom!"
"boom--"
Another ball, but this time Watanabe successfully caught it.
The yellow ball made a loud noise when it came into contact with the string on Watanabe's racket, but Watanabe held the racket with both hands and hit the ball back with difficulty.
Finally, the ball was hit back, and a smile appeared on Watanabe's face, but the smile soon disappeared. Due to problems with strength and angle, although Watanabe hit back the ball, unfortunately... it went out of bounds! ! !
"1-0! The Swiss team scores!" If the tennis ball goes out of bounds, the opponent will score, and the referee will soon announce the score.
Looking at Randy and Albert who easily scored a point, Watanabe showed a trace of bitterness on his face, but when he saw Ishida beside him, he quickly restrained his bitterness.
After exchanging the right to serve, when it was Team R's turn to serve, Watanabe hit a home run. Unfortunately, although Duke's home run was strong, Randy and Albert were still lacking in strength. Added some heat...
The four home runs that consumed a lot of Watanabe's energy did not have an effective effect. The honest and honest Ishida also realized that his opponent was difficult to deal with.
In the players' box, Amangong Lan, who was waiting for the doubles to start, also complained speechlessly, "I know clearly that these two guys from the Swiss team are invincible in terms of strength players, but they still have to go head-to-head with each other... I really don't know the coach What were they thinking."
"Perhaps I want to wake up those guys who have become complacent~" Yukimura meant.
"But joking about the game is a bit much, right?!"
"But even if we lose this game, we can still qualify as second in the group stage~ Maybe there is a way out, so the coaches will use the Swiss team to attack everyone~"
Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura didn't pay much attention to the game, but were busy chatting.
On the field, looking at Watanabe who was a little frustrated because his trick didn't work, Ishida said comfortingly, "It's okay, senior, we haven't lost yet..."
"During those days of training at the U-17 base, I have gradually mastered the 218-style wave ball... We will definitely defeat them!" Ishida's firm and powerful voice sounded in Watanabe's ears. Watanabe, who was only slightly depressed, quickly recovered and racked his brains to create opportunities for Ishida to hit the wave ball.
After Ishida finally scored a goal with a wave ball, Randy and Albert broke their clothes one after another, revealing their strong upper bodies.
The two's perfect and powerful bodies put pressure on Watanabe and Ishida. Seeing the audience boiling with excitement again, Watanabe followed suit and took off his shirt.
At this moment, there were three muscular men with exposed bodies on the field. The audience cheered again, and then they turned their attention to Ishida, the only one still wearing a shirt.
Ishida tightened his clothes silently, with a look of extreme resistance on his face.
Seeing this, the audience stopped shouting and stared at the three semi-naked people with great interest.
"boom!"
"boom!"
……
The sound of a tennis ball being hit by a racket resounded on the court. With the tacit cooperation of Randy and Albert, and the bonus brought by the explosive clothes, Watanabe and Ishida were beaten back and forth.
The score of the Swiss team continues to rise, but the score of the R country team is still a pitiful zero.
At this time, Horio, Tomoka and others also came to the auditorium under the leadership of Sakurano.
Before entering the auditorium, Katsuo, one of Horio's followers, was a little worried about the match between his seniors and the Swiss team, but Horio said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will be fine. You know, according to Sakurano I mean, the seniors defeated the Greek team and the Australian team 3-0!"
"This time we can definitely defeat the Swiss team 3-0, and then successfully advance to the knockout rounds in first place!" Horio walked into the audience with confidence, and Tomoka, Sakurano and others quickly followed.
There is a saying that Horio is somewhat capable of poisoning his breasts. He had just confidently said outside the door that the R national team would win 3-0, but as soon as he sat down in the audience, Watanabe and Ishida lost to the Swiss team 1-6 in doubles two.
When Horio stood at the door and boasted, Ishida used his arms at the expense of a lot of wave balls, and then he barely scored a point in the hands of the Swiss team. After scoring that point, Ishida's arms suddenly looked like The swelling looked terrible.
When Ishida's arm was still normal, he and Watanabe teamed up to be able to withstand the Swiss team's two players for a while. But now for the score, Ishida's arm was injured, and Watanabe was soon unable to withstand the Swiss team's two players. .
Watching Watanabe helping Ishida off the field, Horio had a collapsed expression on his face, "How could this happen? How is it possible!"
"Bang!" Tomoka Kosakada couldn't bear it anymore and asked Horio to eat 'fried chestnuts', "It's so noisy!"
Looking at Tomoka who looked angry, Horio finally calmed down, but there was still an expression of disbelief on his face.
