Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 272 True National Doubles
"Banlao, don't worry. They rarely use this combination. It may not be because of their strength, but because their tacit understanding of cooperation is not enough."

In front of the coaching bench at the stadium, Higashi Masami certainly knew Fudomine's information, but Keith's information was really too little. He patted his partner Kentaro Minami on the shoulder and said very confidently:

"Doubles is different from singles. We are confident that we can win this game. After all, the cooperation between Nan and I is no match in the current junior high school, right, Nan!"

"Well, coach, we're not going to lose."

Compared to Eastern Masami, Minami Kentaro's eyes were calm, but his tone was confident.

"You're right, that's how the game is. There's no need to feel pressure, just let it go and compete. Give full play to your own strength, learn from your opponents in the game, and find weaknesses and ways to improve. That's the most important growth."

"Understood, old man."

After Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashi looked at each other, they walked onto the court with their rackets.

In last year's national competition, Bantian Miki had already made the two first-year players the absolute main force in the doubles.

After more than a year of growth, their strength and even tacit understanding have now reached a complete national level in doubles.

Even if Rikkai's double team encounters them, they may not be able to win easily.

Because of their strong strength and winning attitude, they were dubbed the "Potato Heroes" combination.

And they are also one of the very few groups in the original work that are truly top-notch doubles groups.

Together with the future Tachikai University's Yagyu Nio's team, Hyotei's Shido Ryoho Chotaro's team, and Aogaku's golden team, they are known as the four national-level doubles teams in junior high schools.

The reason why it is in the future is because in today's junior high school world, except for the combination of Ryurenji and Nioh, who are tall at Tatekai, almost no one can benefit from their hands.

Regardless of the current Seigaku or Hyōtei, even Tatekai University's Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara can't compare to them.

In the future, Yanagi Renji will focus more on singles and staff, so Nioh partnered with Yagyu, and Marui Bunta also grew up at that time.

However, precisely because of such an opponent, Zong Yancai and Aoi Hanamura suggested that Keith and Lin Xiu should be paired together.

On the other side, in the Fudomine player area, Keith and Lin Xiu stood with Zong Yan before entering the arena.

"Yamabuki's doubles team has great coordination and understanding. You will understand this later, but I believe that no opponent can stop you."

Zong Yan's expression was calm and he was very relaxed. This was due to his confidence in the strength of the two of them.

"Keith, Lin Xiu, the game will be left to you!"

Similarly, Aoi Hanamura did not give the two more interference, but allowed them to perform on their own and find the feeling of doubles before.

After Keith and Lin Xiu bowed to Aoi Hanamura, they also walked onto the court with their rackets.

Keith and Lin Xiu didn't care whether they were playing doubles or singles. They even felt a little happy that they could play doubles together again.

Because they were neither familiar with each other and none of them were talkative people, the two sides came to the net and directly began to choose service games.

"Positive or negative."

"just."

"It seems we are lucky."

The Yamabuki duo, who got the first serve, were also interested in talking, and smiled slightly at the Keith duo.

Neither Keith nor Lin Xiu spoke, but went straight to the baseline, waiting quietly for Yamabuki Middle School's serve.

When both players were ready, the referee's voice sounded again.

“The doubles match started and ended with the team of Yamabuki Middle School Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata serving first.”

In the Yamabuki half, Kentaro Minami was already waiting at the service line early.

After lightly slapping the tennis ball, Kentaro Minami glanced at the positions of Keith and Lin Xiu opposite him, and then threw the ball up.

boom!
With Minami Kentaro's beautiful tee shot, the tennis ball was instantly crushed on Fudo Peak's half court.

Keith in the backcourt reacted very quickly. He had already predicted the path of the ball as early as the moment the opponent served.

His feet moved forward, and in just a few small steps, he had reached the landing point of the tennis ball.

Raise your hand to trigger the shot.

As soon as the tennis ball bounced, he hit it back firmly to Yamabuki's boundary line.

"This player from Fudomine is so fast!"

"And his movements are so simple and smooth, like a very casual blow. Is this because he didn't use his full strength at all?"

The people who came to watch the game were all people with a basic understanding of tennis, so they could all see Keith's performance just now.

Bantian Mikiya looked at Keith and the two thoughtfully.

"What an amazing junior!"

In the training camp after the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, both Keith and Tachibana used the rackets used by Zong Yan himself. After getting used to them, such training significantly improved Keith's strength and swing speed.

Especially the burst of power.

"Good weight!"

Dongfang Masami caught up with the tennis ball in an instant, but when he was about to fight back, the powerful force coming from the racket made Dongfang Masami frown slightly.With such power, it seemed that the racket would be knocked off in the next second, and Dongfang Masami had no choice but to hold the racket with both hands.

With the support of his hands, he was finally able to stabilize. Then he flipped his wrist and removed most of the power of the tennis ball. Dongfang Masami still forcibly hit the ball back.

After finishing the counterattack, Dongfang Masami hid her palms behind her back and made a gesture to Kentaro Minami.

Minami Kentaro's formation changed instantly, Dongfang Masami retreated to the backcourt, and the frontcourt was handed over to Minami Kentaro.

"What an amazing tacit understanding!"

The formation changes between the two were almost completed in an instant. Although they had seen it on the video tape, Lin Xiu in the frontcourt couldn't help but sigh after seeing it with his own eyes.

This is the strongest secret tactic of the Potato Heroes.

Through their own secret codes and their own tacit understanding, they constantly change the formation.

And carry out targeted attacks on the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, causing the opponent to become confused, and ultimately make the opponent's ball completely fall into their trap.

boom!
boom!
Due to the excellent performance of the secret signal tactic, Kentaro Minami and the two cooperated tacitly and directly won his serve.

This performance also attracted the attention of the audience outside the stadium.

"So strong!"

"As expected of Yamabuki's proud doubles team!"

……

When the scene was changing, Zongyan saw the twinkling light in Keith's eyes and knew that he was really interested.

Seeing this scene, Zongyan also smiled and asked: "Keith, how do you feel?"

Hearing Zong Yan's question, Keith nodded seriously and said, "You're right, these two are really good."

"In that case, let's do our best!"

"Don't worry, the real game is about to begin now."

Arriving at half court and standing still, Lin Xiu glanced at Keith on the serving line.

"Keith, I'm going to start too!"

The two looked at each other, and Keith started to serve. He didn't use any skills, just an ordinary flat shot, but it was enough.

The tennis ball rushed towards Dongfang Masami at extremely fast speed.

He couldn't even react and was scored directly by Keith.

boom!
"Game, Fudomine, 1-1."

……

"This road doesn't work!"

Lin Xiu in front of the net saw that the opponent wanted to score with a short ball in the front court and quickly followed up.

The body jumped into the air lightly.

"We won this point!"

boom!
"Game, Fudomine, 2-1."

……

boom!
"Game, Fudomine, 4-1."

"Change!"

"It's amazing! Fudomine's double team can actually suppress the Potato Heroes."

"That's right. Fudoho has been hiding such a powerful double team. Everyone is being fooled by them."

Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata were sitting in the rest area, taking big gulps of their drinks, and then spitting them all out.

The old man smiled and handed over the towel and said, "How do you feel?"

"Lao Ban, they are very powerful..."

The intense physical exertion had left the two of them panting, Dongfang Masami replied with difficulty.

Seeing that the two of them had not lost confidence, Mr. Ban nodded with satisfaction and began to give instructions.

However, no matter what kind of guidance and on-the-spot changes of formation, it is all in vain in the face of absolute suppression of strength.

With the cooperation of Keith and Lin Xiu, they won the doubles round without any bloodshed.

"The game is over! Fudomine Keith and Lin Xiu's team won this round, with a score of 6:1."

……
