The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 94: Inui Sadaharu's prediction, the semi-finals begin

"Game, Liu won, the score was 6 to 0."

"The game is over, the total score is 3-0, the winner is Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School"

The referee's voice resounded throughout the stadium, meaning that Rikkai University had ended its journey to the quarterfinals and advanced to the semi-finals.

Today is the third day of the national convention, and there are only eight teams left.

Of course, Rikkai University was the first to finish the game, and now it can be said that there are only 7 teams left.

As they expected, Kabuto Middle School did not cause any trouble to Yuuki Maya and the others.

The opponent fell down very quickly. After being defeated by Rikkai Dalian in two games, he simply resigned himself to his fate and lowered his resistance in the third game, with no fighting attitude at all.

At the end of the third day, there are only four teams left competing for this year's national championship.

They are Rikkai University in Kanagawa, Shitenhoji Temple in Osaka, Makinofuji in Hyogo, and Shishigaku in Kumamoto.

It seems like a reincarnation. Last year, the top four teams in the national conference were these four teams.

And this year, it is still these four.

However, what is different from last year is that last year Rikkai University's semi-final opponent was Shitenhoji, but now it has been changed to Shishiraku.

Shitenhoji went to the other half of the group to compete against Makinofuji in the Kansai Conference finals again.

The next day, Osaka Nagai Stadium
Since the semi-finals began, the venue is no longer the previous venue, but has been changed to this large stadium.

The semi-finals, the finals and the final awards ceremony are all held here.

At this time, there were almost no empty seats in the huge stadium.

Before the game started, the atmosphere in the audience seats was extremely hot, with countless people whispering about topics related to the game.

In an area in the middle of the audience seats, all the students from Qingxue gathered here. After losing the game yesterday, they did not leave immediately. Instead, after a collective discussion, they unanimously decided to watch the next two days of games.

It is a rare opportunity to come to a national conference, so they must learn more about the strength of those strong schools in order to further understand how much they still lack.

The waiting process was a bit boring. Kikumaru Eiji yawned and said to Inui Sadaharu who was carefully looking at his notes: "Inui, which side do you think will win today?"

"Rikkai University's winning rate is 99.8%, while Shishiraku's is only 0.2%." Inui Sadaharu answered without hesitation.

"Eh~ Is the gap so big? After all, they are all from the top four schools in the country." Kikumaru Eiji was a little surprised.

Of course, he also believed that Rikkai University had a greater chance of winning, but he did not have such a one-sided attitude as Inui Sadaharu.

"The two Kyushu heroes of Shizile are indeed masters at the national level, but the strength of their other players is relatively ordinary. This was clearly exposed when they fought against Hyotei."

"As for Rikkai University, apart from the first-year substitute, the doubles and singles teams of both teams are all strong national-level masters, especially Genichirō Sanada and Maya Yuuki, whose strength is at the top of the national tournament players."

Inui Sadaharu spoke out the intelligence he had summarized one by one. This was his judgment after comparing various information.

In his eyes, the only possibility for Lion Music to win is that the two heroes of Jiuzhou win one game each, and then win any of the remaining games.

But is this possible?
Whether in doubles or singles, Rikkai University is clearly one level higher than Shizile. If Shizile wants to win a game, I'm afraid it will only be possible for the two heroes to join forces in doubles to win a point.

Qian Zhenzhi has a very simple comparison formula here
Rikkai University 3-0 Hyotei
Lion Music 3 to 2 Ice Emperor
So Rikkai University>>Lion Music.

As for why there are two greater than signs, it is because Shishiraku did not defeat Hyotei's minister, while Rikkai University defeated the other party's minister head-on. "Tezuka, what do you think?" Fuji Shusuke turned his head and looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu who had a calm face and asked.

"Qian is right. Lion Dance can't win."

Tezuka Kunimitsu spoke without looking away, his tone was flat but without a trace of hesitation.

"By the way, up to now in the competition, the only team that can pose a certain threat to Rikkai University this year should be Shitenhoji, which defeated us yesterday." Inui Sadaharu once again brought up a topic.

"The champion from Kansai? Their overall strength is indeed strong." Upon hearing this, Fuji Shusuke also recalled yesterday's game.

When they faced Shitenhoji yesterday, the first four games made them feel like they were playing against Rikkai University in the Kanto Conference.

It is a feeling where you try your best but still feel powerless, while the other person still seems to be able to do it with ease.

Especially the guy that Fuji Shusuke fought against, he could sense that the other party deliberately did not use his full strength, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get four points from the other party.

Now that I think about it, the people from Shitenhoji must have wanted to conserve their strength to deal with their opponent in the finals, Rikkai University.

There was also the opponent's doubles combination. One of the players was a junior high school student who looked like a monk. He just hit a special high-pressure ball and caused their senior in the third year of junior high school who received the ball to break his wrist, forcing him to give up.

"However, originally in my opinion, Shitenhoji's winning rate was 40%. But after fighting with us yesterday, their winning rate has dropped to 20% to 30% in my opinion." Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses and analyzed seriously.

"Oh? Is it because of Tezuka?" Fuji Shusuke's mind worked quickly, and he soon understood the hidden meaning in Inui Sadaharu's words.

In yesterday's match, after Shitenhoji's ace lost to Tezuka, the opponent's strength had been thoroughly measured.

The strength of the ace represents the upper limit of a team's individual capabilities.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke lost to Tezuka, which means that his opponent cannot defeat Rikkai University's current number one singles player, Yuuki Maya.

Before the two sides even started fighting, Shitenhoji had already assumed it had lost the singles match.

"That's right. I originally thought that Shitenhoji's trump card should be a singles player with absolutely strong strength, at least as strong as Tezuka."

"But now it seems that it is hard to say whether the opponent can beat the vice-minister of Rikkai University. Once Rikkai University arranges Sanada Genichirō and Yuuki Maya to play in the first two singles matches, Shitenhoji will have some chance unless they drag the match to the fifth game. Otherwise..."

Inui Sadaharu didn't finish his words, but there was no need to continue, as everyone in the Qingxue class understood what he meant.

"Okay everyone, let's stop discussing now, the game is about to begin." Oishi Shuichiro reminded.

Everyone in Qingxue immediately turned their attention to the court below the field.

"The national tournament semi-final match between Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School and Shishiraku Middle School is about to begin."

The broadcast spread throughout the stadium, and the originally noisy venue gradually became quiet.

In the two side passages below, a total of sixteen players from Rikkai University and Shishile appeared simultaneously, and then followed the guidance of the staff, standing opposite each other in the two half-courts and looking at each other.

Compared to the decent image of Rikkai University, the appearance of Shishigaku is quite strange.

If you don’t know, you might think that it was a member of an underage gang in Kansai who was impersonating a contestant to participate in the competition.
