Chapter 257 Battle against QP. 1
The next day, the exciting semi-finals of the U-17 World Championship finally began. In the morning, the dark horse R National Team, ranked 23rd in the world, VS the absolute king of Germany.
Although the performance of the R national team in the preliminaries was quite impressive, compared to the German team with three professional players... the audience still didn't think highly of them.
However, Byodoin, who clearly knows the strength of his teammates, has no negative emotions at all. In his opinion, the strength of his teammates is not weak at all, not to mention that the members of the German team opposite are just teenagers holding rackets like them.
After cheering each other on, everyone stepped onto the player tunnel and walked to the arena.
At the same time, members of the German team on the opposite side also walked out of the field one after another.
The leader was Polk, followed closely by two current professional players, Tankumaru and Berti, who had only met him during the official match.
Behind them are Bismarck, who will turn professional after the current U-17, QP, who came from the German Group's Talent Tennis Player Training Center, and Tezuka Kunimitsu, a talented junior high school student who came all the way from Country R to Germany to study. .
Seeing the appearance of these people, most of the spectators outside the stadium felt that Germany's ten consecutive championships were secure. Only a few spectators prayed that the R national team could create another miracle like in the preliminaries.
……
Different from the previous games that started with doubles and then singles, starting from the semi-finals, the games were played alternately between singles and doubles, and each game was a best-of-three set.
So...the first game to start this time is singles three.
The first three singles candidates for the German team were not any of the three professional players or Tezuka Kunimitsu as the coaches of Country R thought, but the QP who originally played doubles with Tezuka in the preliminaries.
As for the R national team, Amamiya Arashi looked at Byodoin and Yukimura and found that these two had no intention of playing, so he dragged his racket to the field.
Although Amamiya Lan did not play many matches, his magical and gorgeous tennis left a deep impression on the audience.
With the appearance of Amamiya Lan, the cheers for the German team were overwhelmingly cheering for the "Magic Master".
Originally, the audience's title for Amamiya Lan should be 'Tennis Magician' or 'Magician', but because it can touch the petals of flowers and the hot temperature brought by the phoenix... the audience unanimously thought that 'Magician' or 'Magician' 'Magician' was a bit inconsistent with Tiangong Lan. Later, at the suggestion of an audience from an ancient eastern country, they quite naturally changed Tiangong Lan's nickname from 'Magician' in Country R to 'Magician'.
Listening to the cheers from the audience outside the stadium, although there was a slight sense of shame surrounding him, thanks to the teachings of the Tiangong family, Tiangong Lan's performance was still quite decent.
On the court, Amangong Lan and QP first had a friendly pre-match etiquette, and then the two exchanged harsh words as usual.
Turning around and walking to a suitable position, Tiangong Lan, who finally got the starting right this time, raised his hand and waved unceremoniously.
The single yellow tennis ball changed from one to many, and then transformed into stars flying fast or slowly towards the opponent's location.
"Wow~"
The audience, who had never seen tennis played with special effects, let out strange exclamations, and then some people couldn't help but want to take photos to record this beautiful scene... However, everyone who often follows tennis events knows that, All kinds of beautiful things that appear in tennis matches cannot be recorded by photography or video.
Unlike the audience's appreciation of the beautiful scenery, QP, who is Amamiya Lan's opponent, only finds the sudden 'meteor shower' quite troublesome.
But even so, QP successfully countered the 'daunting attack' given by Tiangong Lan. QP's counterattack tennis ball basically lands on the end of the baseline at both ends of the court. He wants to rely on this unconscious fighting method to frustrate his opponent's fighting spirit.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Amangong Lan, who was a little nervous from time to time.
If Tian Gonglan doesn't pay special attention to details, general psychological tactics and the like will have no effect on this guy. It can only be said that QP's hard work has been in vain.
The match between the two was very intense from the beginning, not to mention Amangong Lan's 'Meteor Shower' power and QP's precise ball control.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
The sound of hitting the ball kept ringing on the court. Along with Amamiya Lan's careless attitude of returning the ball and the 'magic' tennis that appeared in every possible opportunity, QP could not help but feel a little tired of dealing with it.
In order to avoid falling into a passive situation, QP had no choice but to take the lead in attacking.
Looking at QP who wanted to go online, Tian Gonglan also felt something bad, so he used a powerful move, and the "meteor" evolved from the beautiful "meteor shower" fell.
I'm afraid the audience outside the venue didn't expect that they would encounter a catastrophic meteorite attack just after watching the meteor shower! But fortunately, the meteorite will only land in the half where QP is located. Maybe this is the blessing in misfortune?
"boom--"
The sound of the tennis ball being hit by the racket sounded. Amangong Lan, who originally thought that this move could score points, looked at QP holding the racket with both hands in surprise. He did not expect that the seemingly thin QP's slender body actually had the ability to hit back the 'meteorite' strength.
However, Tiangong Lan didn't panic too much. The purpose of playing the 'Meteor Swarm' at the beginning was just to prevent QP from going online. Although he was hit back, his goal was achieved.
Amamiya Lan smiled and hit the tennis ball back again. This time he used the relatively gentle 'Butterfly Dance Around the Liang'. The dancing butterflies move towards QP in a trajectory that cannot be seen through.
Facing the ordinary shots of Amamiya Lan, QP can be said to be at ease, but when faced with those magical tennis skills played by Amamiya Lan, although QP can always find a way to fight back, he is no longer like He can hit back an ordinary ball with ease.
Under the attack of Amamiya Lan's merciless and brilliant 'magic' tennis, QP, which could barely support it at the beginning, continued to retreat as time went by... And as QP retreated, the R national team's score also gradually of rise.
In this way, the first game ended with Amangong Lan's victory.
