Chapter 250 Arrangements for Singles 1
When talking with Coach Mifune at Byodo-in, Coach Mifune clearly stated that Camus is now far stronger than Watanabe, so only those guys with world-class combat capabilities in his opinion are qualified to serve as singles players. .
And because the R national team has a lot of good cards this time, according to Coach Mifune's idea, in the following games, their main players will be the top four junior high school students and the top three high school students. As for others, they will be adjusted according to the situation.
Before letting Byodoin leave, Coach Mifune said coldly to him, "You know, affecting the game because of personal feelings... This is a taboo!"
Byodoin left Coach Mifune's room with a cold face, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he went out, he saw the high school students gathered together.
Looking at Byodoin's face, everyone knew that Watanabe's idea might not be recognized by Coach Mifune. Just as they expected, Byodoin revealed Coach Mifune's arrangements.
The high school students all looked a bit strange. Then Kimijima began to suggest that everyone work together to find ways to help Watanabe fulfill his wish.
Under Kimijima's suggestion, the high school students also showed their talents and finally made a plan with the ultimate goal of changing the battle arrangements.
"By the way, should I tell Yukimura and the others about this?" Suddenly, Mori looked at Byodoin as if he had thought of something.
Byodoin was a little stunned, because the high school students' operations were too smooth. He forgot for a moment that he needed to discuss with the No. 1 junior high school student before deciding on the specific lineup, and then handed it over to the coach to see if the opponent Accept this arrangement.
After pondering for a moment, Byodoin still affirmed Maori's statement, "You are right. You really need to talk to Yukimura about these things. It will be more convenient if he cooperates in some places."
As soon as Byodoin finished speaking, Mouri walked towards Yukimura's room with great interest.
He must have been lucky, as he met Yukimura and others who were gathered together on the way.
Mori, who originally only wanted to find Yukimura alone, was forced to lead the four of them to the room where the high school students gathered after Yanagi discovered something was wrong with his extraordinary observation skills.
Looking at the "buy one, get three free" offers for junior high school students and high school students, they were all a little silent, but soon they calmed down and explained in a few words the purpose of coming to them.
After listening to a series of arrangements planned by Kimijima, including infiltrating, replacing ballpoint pens, intercepting Kurobe's coach, seizing the order of appearance, tampering, etc., the four of them all looked at a loss.
'Kimijima-senpai... is there something wrong with your brain because you have been acting too much? Tiangong Lan motioned to the other three friends with his eyes.
After Yukimura understood Amamiya Arashi's signal, he coughed twice to signal the other party to pay attention to the situation.
Liu Ze felt some subtle emotions in his heart. He felt that Kimijima-senpai's plan was a bit too cumbersome.
After rolling his eyes twice, Nioh smiled and asked, "Are the first few steps of any use? Why do you need to secretly change pens? Wasn't it Yukimura and Byodoin-senpai who wrote the list?"
Niou's three consecutive questions turned into a sharp sword and pierced Kimijima's heart in an instant.
For a time, the high school students all focused their attention on Kimijima.
"This..." Kimijima was speechless. Could he say that he had forgotten that the original list was filled in by Byodoin and Yukimura?
Kimijima would not admit his mistake. He held on and said, "This is to prevent the coach from making additional changes after Byodoin handed over the order of appearance to the coach. Change the pen on the coach's side to a type that can be erased. It will help us intercept Coach Kurobe’s tampering after he gets the order of appearance!”
Kimijima's words were recognized by the high school students, and for a while Amamiya Arashi and Nioh couldn't find anything wrong with them.
But Yukimura frowned and said, "Is this really good?"
"Xiao Yukimura, what do you mean..." Mori looked at Yukimura.
"If words such as changing the coach's arrangements without authorization and disobeying orders are spread, it will have an impact on Watanabe-senpai's future tennis career!"
Tian Gonglan put his hands behind his head and said lazily.
"This..." The high school students looked at each other, and they really didn't think much about what happened next.
"Although the French team is strong, we are not weak either!" Liu Renji suddenly said.
"Xiao Liu, what do you mean..." Maoli looked at Liu expectantly.
Liu smiled slightly, "Instead of worrying about how to tamper with the lineup here, it is better to find a way to get the coach to change his mind."
"This... how about forget it." Before the others could speak, Watanabe was a little discouraged, "The coach will not change his words."
"How will you know if you don't try? Watanabe-senpai, you are too unsure!" Amamiya Lan looked at Watanabe with a smile, "Although I don't know Coach Mifune very well, as long as we can guarantee a 100% victory over the French team, So the coach probably won’t care too much about the specific appearance arrangements.”
"Previously, Byodoin-senpai only asked Coach Mifune to let Watanabe-senpai serve as singles number one... He did not mention the arrangements for other positions. If we can win the first three games... then even if we have to win the next two singles matches, Keep going, but the coach probably won’t care too much about the result... puri~"
"Is this possible?"
"Let's try~"
"It's not a loss anyway, of course it would be better if it succeeds."
The high school students were still doubtful, but with the encouragement of a few people, they gradually began to believe what they said.
"Actually, I think it would be best for Watanabe-senpai to go and ensure with Coach Mifune that personal feelings will not affect the game..." Amamiya Lan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
After hearing this, Byodoin also remembered what Coach Mifune said, so he naturally took Watanabe to Coach Mifune's room again.
……
"Didn't I tell you that it's impossible for Watanabe to appear in a singles match? Why are you here again?" Mifune Irido looked at Byodoin and Watanabe, his eyes filled with disgust that could not be concealed. After all, the arrival of the two disturbed them. He drank.
"Coach, I won't let my personal emotions affect the game!" Watanabe, who didn't know what to say for a while, could only assure Coach Mifune directly.
Coach Mifune was about to say something, but was quickly cut off by Byodoin.
"Coach, if we win the first three games, there will be no problem in handing the singles to Watanabe..."
"Whether we win or lose, starting from the quarter-finals, we need to play five games every time..."
"We won the first three games directly, and sent out weaker first-line players in the last two games. This will also help us hide our strength and make it easier to deal with the German team later..."
Byodoin's dry words successfully persuaded Mifune. Although he really wanted Team R to win the championship with an absolute crushing force, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was safer to do what Byodoin said.
After a short silence, under the expectant gazes of Byodoin and Watanabe, Coach Mifune finally nodded and agreed with Byodoin's statement, but he also asked Byodoin to issue a 'military order'. If the first three games were not successful this time, If he wins, Byodoin will face the accountability of the Country R Tennis Association, and those things that Coach Mifune blocked for him in the past will come back to him.
Listening to Coach Mifune's words, Byodoin didn't seem to care much, but in fact he was already thinking about how to win the French team as quickly as possible.
