Chapter 8 JR8 Round
A few days later, the JR race at Kakigi Sports Park officially started.
A few days before the game, Tiangong Lan went to watch it with great interest, but found that most of the people were mediocre, and only a few people played well.
Amangong Lan decided to let herself go and planned to wait until the competition for the top eight spots before starting to watch.
It should be better at that time. There are so many elementary schools, and tennis is a national sport. It’s not like we can’t even get together a dozen teenagers with better skills, right? Besides, this is still the fourteen-year-old group, so it’s not very young... right, maybe? Tiangong Lan thought silently, still a little confused.
……
At the quarter-finals a few days later, Tiangong Lan came to the auditorium early and occupied a good position with an excellent view.
Since it was the quarter-finals, there were only sixteen players left in the competition, so they were all scheduled on the same day, and only one venue was opened. Maybe because of this, or maybe because everyone thought that the subsequent games would be more exciting. Anyway, there are more people in the audience today than in the previous games.
"I didn't expect that there would be quite a few children among this year's JR top 16..."
"Yes, yes! Speaking of which, several children came up at 6:0..."
"I heard there is a kid here who can play tennis that no one can see..."
"Yes, yes, there seems to be another one..."
"But this one is also very powerful. I've been crushing him all the way in the previous games..."
“Children today are really amazing~”
……
Listening to the words from the audience, Amangong Lan looked towards the field and found that the first match was between a boy with short brown hair and rimmed glasses against a middle school student with average looks.
"Hey~ Isn't this Tezuka? I don't know the opponent. He looks like a stranger." Amamiya Lan touched his chin thoughtfully, "It seems that there is no suspense in the first game~"
……
"One set match, Tezuka Kunimitsu VS Ueno Yuichi! Tezuka Kunimitsu serves."
"First serve!"
As the referee's voice fell, the game officially began.
‘Bang~’
……
"Ace,advantage for receiver"
As the yellow ball crossed the net and landed on the opposite court, Tezuka took the lead and scored a point.
Ueno Yuichi on the opposite side quickly realized that this cold-faced little brother was not the unskilled tennis novice he usually saw.
"30-0"
"30-15"
……
"1:1"
As the yellow ball continues to bounce back and forth in the field, the score on the field is also constantly changing.
……
"5:2, advantage for Tezuka"
……
"40-30, match point"
As the referee's voice fell, there was a "swipe" sound. The yellow ball flew over the net from Tezuka Kunimitsu's court racket and landed on the baseline behind Ueno Yuichi. Ueno Yuichi was too late to save the ball, plus the back and forth. Exhausted from running, he finally half-knelt on the field, gasping for air.
"Game set and match, won by Tezuka Kunimitsu."
As the referee's words fell, this round ended with Tezuka Kunimitsu's victory, and the score was fixed at 6:2.
而接下来是几场比赛,也许是因为双方实力差不多的原因,比分有点焦灼。分别以7:5、6:4、6:3的比分结束。
After these games, half a day has passed. Amamiya Lan went to a nearby store to buy some food and hurried back. When he was watching the game in the morning, he seemed to hear someone saying that one of the players in the afternoon game was the 'Son of God' Seiichi Yukimura.
Not long after he came back, the afternoon game also started. The two people in the first scene, well - I think I haven't met them yet, but that's right, after all, reality is always different from the comics, and the comics can only be used as reference, so don't believe it too much. Tiangong Lan thought to himself.
The first game in the afternoon was also between an elementary school student and a junior high school student, but the difference was that this elementary school student was not as strong as Tezuka Kunimitsu, so of course he lost to the junior high school student.
The second game was between the future "Emperor" Genichiro Sanada of Tachikai University VS an unknown junior high school student. In the end, Genichiro Sanada won with a score of 6:3.
The third game was between two junior high school students, Ichiro Maemon VS Shiichi Uda, and the game ended with Uda winning.
The last match, which Amamiya Arashi is most looking forward to, is between the 'Son of God' Seiichi Yukimura, who is about to enter junior high school, and the junior high school student Nakagawa Sawano.
The nickname 'Son of God' comes from the fact that when Yukimura Seiichi was ten years old, he participated in the U14DKN Kanagawa Youth Competition and competed against junior high school student Akechi. When trailing 0-4, Yukimura used the "Five Senses" to defeat his opponent. Falling flowers and flowing water. After Yukimura jumped into the air, under the setting sun, people watching seemed to see the shadow of God emerging behind Yukimura, and they called Yukimura the "Son of God" from then on.
Amamiya Arashi thought that Yukimura Seiichi could defeat a junior high school student in tennis at the age of ten, and felt that this match might be one-sided.
As expected, just ten minutes before the start of the game, Yukimura Seiichi defeated his opponent with an absolute advantage of 6:0 and won a spot in the semi-finals.
After seeing the smile of the little boy with short blue-purple hair wearing a dark green sweatband after the referee announced the victory, Amangong Lan secretly sighed: Even if he is good-looking, he really looks good when he smiles! No wonder some people always think Yukimura is a girl~
With the final game of the quarter-finals over, the arrangements for tomorrow's semi-finals have also come out. details as follows,
morning
Game 1: Yukimura Seiichi VS Sasaki Heiji
Game 2: Tezuka Kunimitsu VS Hashimoto Saburo
in the afternoon
Game 1: Shiichi Uda VS Hisama Yamamoto
Game 2: Genichiro Sanada VS Izumi Takahashi
After seeing the game arrangement, Amamiya Arashi felt bored. After all, except for the first game in the afternoon, he could probably deduce the results of the other games. It was just that Yukimura Seiichi, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Sanada Genichiro won.
Then he happily decided to go out with Sakura and the others tomorrow and wait until the semi-finals to see them again.
