The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 104 The dust has settled and the finals have begun (one chapter is missing)
Is it such a big deal?
This was the subconscious thought of Genichirō Sanada after hearing Maya Yuuki's proposal.

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that it is not impossible.

In Sanada's opinion, Shitenhoji will definitely make some different adjustments to the lineup for the finals, so it is not impossible for him to have a surprise doubles lineup.

"The coach of Shitenhoji is a resourceful man. He will definitely not arrange the formations step by step, so we can do the opposite." Yuuki Maya expressed his plan.

"My thought is that, knowing that Marui cannot team up with Mori-senpai, the opponent must have seen our previous match records and thought that we might team up with Marui and Yanagi, and must have a countermeasure against Marui and Yanagi."

"In that case, we might as well use Kirihara as a surprise attack to disrupt any countermeasures the other side might have prepared."

"Kirhara made rapid progress in his sparring with me before coming to the national tournament. He is already a tennis player who can stand out on his own in the Rikkai University team."

After Yuuki Maya finished speaking, Kirihara could be said to have tears in his eyes. He had never thought that his senior would one day praise him so much and give him the opportunity to compete in the finals of the national tournament.

Sanada, Yanagi, Niou and others all began to fall into deep thought.

It has to be said that they all felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense, especially Yanagi Renji, who felt that Yuki thought further than he did.

Because he had gotten to know the coach of Shitenbaoji, who was indeed a capable person. The good results that Shitenbaoji had achieved in Kansai in the past two years were absolutely inseparable from this person's planning.

"What Yuuki said makes sense, but since you have thought about it, why not tell everyone about the lineup plans for other positions as well." Yanagi Renji nodded first and said to Yuuki Maya in a serious tone.

"My idea is that if Mori-senpai is the singles No. 3, then I will be the singles No. 2, and Sanada will be the singles No. 1."

"As for the doubles, it's the same as before. The second doubles players will be Yanagi and Kirihara. The first doubles players will remain the same, Niou and Yanagi."

Maya Yuuki recited the list of people he had prepared in his mind one by one. In his mind, this lineup was basically a sure-win lineup.

With this lineup, even if Shitenhoji really planned to win in the first two games, Rikkai University will win the next three games without any surprise.

After he finished speaking, after a long while, Genichirō Sanada looked around and said, "Let's vote on Yuki's proposal."

"Swish"

Before Genichirō Sanada finished his words, Marui Bunta was the first to raise his hand to express his agreement.

"Kirhara, I'll let you play in the finals, so you must play well." Marui Bunta said to Kirihara Akaya with a smile.

"Marui-senpai..."

Kirihara Akari also choked up a little. He certainly understood vaguely the reason why Marui Bunta did this. It was not as if he really didn't want to play as he pretended.

Next, after Marui Bunta was the first to agree, everyone seemed to agree tacitly.

After the temporary list of finalists was finalized, everyone chatted about some things related to the finals, ended the dinner, and returned to the hotel to rest.

…………

next day
Still in the stadium yesterday, the finals of the national conference were about to begin.

The atmosphere at the venue was even more heated than yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, Shitenhoji and Makinofuji reenacted the civil war in the Kansai Conference. Although the result was similar to what most people expected, the process was surprising.

Although Makinoto lost at the Kansai Tournament last month, he was still able to fight back and even won a game.

However, in the second match between the two teams at the national tournament, Makinoto was shut out by Shitenhoji. Moreover, the lineups of both teams in every match were exactly the same as in the Kansai tournament.

This means that Shitenhoji held back in the previous games, or that they have completely found the weaknesses of the opponent's players.

Most people are more willing to believe the former's guess than the latter.

This also makes the spectators who come to watch today's finals look forward to this fierce battle even more.

At this point in the competition, if there is any school that has the potential to stop Rikkai University from winning the national championship again this year, it must be Shitenhoji.

Several people from Qingxue were still sitting in the same seats today, waiting for the finals to begin.

Yesterday, they also witnessed with their own eyes how Rikkai University swept away Shishigaku, and also saw how Shitenhoji swept away Makunoteng just like Rikkai University.

"Inui, do you still hold the same prediction for today's final?" Fuji Shusuke asked casually with a smile on his face as he looked at Inui Sadaharu beside him.

"Well, I still think the same as before. Shitenhoji has basically assumed that it will lose a game. Rikkai University is also stronger in overall strength. The chances of winning two to three levels are already very high."

Inui Sadaharu closed the notebook he carried with him, confident in his prediction.

"Tezuka, what do you think?" Fuji Shusuke turned his head and looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu who was keeping a calm expression on the other side.

"..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not reply to Fuji Shusuke immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "If Shitenhoji's singles lineup is still the same as when they played against us, they will probably be completely wiped out."

"What?! The opponent is the Kansai champion after all. Is the gap between them and Rikkai University really that big?" Kikumaru Eiji was confused for a moment.

Because what Tezuka meant was that Shitenhoji would be beaten 3-0 by Rikkai University in singles alone.

Upon hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu just glanced at Kikumaru Eiji and did not explain the confusion to him. Instead, he said calmly, "The game is about to begin."

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not reply to Kikumaru Eiji. Instead, Oishi Shuichiro smiled beside him and said, "Eiji, this is probably an intuition that only people with Tezuka's level of strength can feel."

To put it simply, what Oishi said is that you are not at the national level so you don’t understand and it is difficult to explain it to you.

Kikumaru Eiji nodded as if he understood, and also turned his eyes to the court off the court.

A team of junior high school students in khaki uniforms and a team of junior high school students in yellow-green uniforms walked out from the passages on both sides of the stadium.

The moment the players from both teams appeared on the field, the huge stadium instantly erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

The final of the national conference, the climax of this junior high school tennis feast, is about to begin.

The players from both sides faced each other on both sides of the court. Both Yuki and Shitenhoji showed confident expressions at this moment.

The opening ceremony of the final ended after more than ten minutes. Led by the staff, the teams from both sides returned to their preparation areas.

A moment later, the final between Rikkai University and Shitenhoji officially began, and the first match between the two sides was about to begin.

I didn’t expect to be so busy today, so I can only delay updating for now.
