Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 139 The Basketball Court, Have You Heard My Name? (Please Subscribe)
For the next few days, Jiang Hong spent most of his time on the court and in the gym.

"Jiang Hong, good news! Good news!"

Li Gong hurriedly pushed open the door and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hong's first reaction was...

Jiangnan Leather Factory went bankrupt?
"What great news!"

However, Jiang Hong ultimately resisted the urge to be mischievous and looked up, asking in confusion.

"The registration deadline for the Tokyo Open has passed, and you've successfully entered the main draw!" Li Gong said with great excitement.

This is indeed good news, at least it saves Jiang Hong from having to play two rounds of elimination matches.

A smile appeared on Jiang Hong's face.

The main draw of the Tokyo Open consists of six rounds of competition, with forty-eight main draw spots available.

There are three wildcard entries and six qualifying spots.

All 16 seeded players received a bye and advanced directly to the second round.

The remaining players then engaged in fierce battles against each other.

It can be said that seeded players play at least three fewer rounds of matches than qualifiers, saving them a lot of energy.

However, the preferential treatment given to seeded players is something they earned through their rankings.

Tomorrow, September 28th, the qualifying rounds will officially begin.

"That's definitely good news!"

Bertans, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up, his face full of righteous indignation, "Jiang, the competition is just around the corner, you should reduce your training volume!"

Actually, it was because Jiang Hong's training volume was too much for him, and he just wanted to slack off!

"You're right, let's take a break today."

Bertans immediately beamed with joy, but the next second he turned his head away, looking puzzled.

"Jiang, what do you mean by taking a day off temporarily?!"

"That means you don't need to have a sparring partner today."

Bertans realized what was happening, but hadn't training already ended for the day?

"Jiang, you can't do this! Human rights organizations will sanction you..."

Jiang Hong ignored the other person and, after spending time with him, realized that he was a goofball.

"I'm going out for a walk today!" Jiang Hong greeted Fu Yunlong and Li Gong.

During his time in Tokyo, Jiang Hong has spent most of his time training and hasn't really moved around much.

Upon hearing this, Li Gong immediately asked with concern, "Do you need someone to accompany you?"

After all, they were in an unfamiliar place, and it would be embarrassing to lose Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Are you sure you're coming out with me, and that I'm not taking care of you?"

"Uh..." Li Gong opened his mouth, but thinking of Jiang Hong's exaggerated linguistic talent, he ultimately chose to remain silent, only managing to say, "Be careful on the road!"

……

Jiang Hong left the hotel and boarded the tram directly.

The penetration rate of trains in Japan is so high that it's almost comparable to the subway system in China in the future.

On the tram, most of the adult men were wearing suits.

If this were in China, the first thing people would think of when they see a suit is insurance and sales.

There were also quite a few high school girls wearing short skirts, but unlike in the movie, they weren't particularly pretty, and they weren't very tall either.

It looked rather strange that these corporate slaves in suits were separated from the high school girls by a vacuum, but no one around them thought it was odd.

After arriving in Akihabara, Jiang Hong got off the train.

The proportion of people wearing suits here has obviously decreased dramatically, and Jiang Hong strolled around with great interest.

I also saw a coffee shop where the waitresses wore cat ears and maid outfits, and there were many customers queuing up at the door.

It's so oppressive!

Jiang Hong walked into the comic book store and picked out a large pile of comic books, including Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach, numbering in the dozens.

I paid at the front desk with my overflowing collection of comic books.

When the receptionist saw Jiang Hong, her eyes lit up, and she immediately emptied all the Japanese yen that Jiang Hong had exchanged from his pocket.

Carrying two large bags of comic books, Jiang Hong had no interest in wandering around anymore.

He returned to Ariake Tennis Forest Park by tram, but it was still quite a distance from the hotel. Perhaps he was just unlucky, but Jiang Hong tried calling for a taxi for over ten minutes without success.

Jiang Hou is starting to miss ride-hailing apps from now on.

"Looks like we have no choice but to walk back!"

However, the environment in the Tennis Forest Park is quite nice, so let's just treat it as a walk!

Bang bang bang!
Not long after, Jiang Hong heard the sound of a ball being hit and looked over curiously.

I saw a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-olds playing tennis together.

I didn't see anyone charging, so it must be a street tennis court.

To be honest, Jiang Hong has never seen a free sports field in a public place in the country.

Basically, only the school's tennis courts are free.

This group is quite good; one of the players has even reached the level where he hopes to score points in the tournament.

This is enough to secure a place in the provincial team in the country.

Bang!
The young man used his forehand to send the ball directly into the opponent's half of the court.

"Ishikawa, you win!"

A young man acting as referee said with a dejected look on his face.

He raised his head and said arrogantly.

"There's not a single one who can fight!"

His ball skills aren't great, but his bragging skills are "masterful"!

Jiang Hong sighed inwardly, just as he was about to leave.

Wow…

Suddenly, the plastic bag in Jiang Hong's hand couldn't support the weight of the comic book and stopped working.

"This bag is of such poor quality!"

"They cut corners!"

Without bags, it's hard to carry all these comics back home.

Jiang Hong wondered if he could call Li Gong and Fu Yunlong to help him transport the comics back.
"You've been watching from outside for so long, do you want to come in and have a match with me?" Suddenly, the young man called Ishikawa turned his head and looked at Jiang Hong on the road.

At first glance, Jiang Hong thought it was someone else and looked around.

Finding that there was no one else around, he pointed to himself.

You mean...me?

“That’s right!” Ishikawa nodded with a haughty expression.

Jiang Hong is such a kind person, he would never destroy someone else's dream.

So he waved his hand and declined, saying, "Let's forget it, I have things to do!"

Just as Jiang Hong was about to bend down to pick up the comic book from the ground.

"Are you scared?" Ishikawa narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Jiang Hong raised his head. "I really don't know what fear is, but what are the benefits if I win?"

"What benefits do you need?" Ishikawa didn't think he would lose.

Jiang Hong shrugged. "It's simple, I won. All you need to do is deliver these comic books to my hotel!"

"No problem!" Ishikawa agreed immediately, hearing that it wasn't an unreasonable request. He then turned to the other youths and said, "You guys gather all those comic books up and put them over there!"

Jiang Hong walked onto the court, shrugged, and said...

"I didn't bring my racket!"

"Tian Chun, lend him your racket!" Ishikawa said, looking at the young man who had just lost the match.

Tian Chun reluctantly handed the racket to Jiang Hong, saying, "Don't break it!"

"My name is Ishikawa. What's your name?" Ishikawa asked.

"Jiang Hong!"

I don't change my name or surname, and there's nothing to hide!
"Hiss!" Suddenly, someone next to him gasped and exclaimed, "Jiang Hong?"

Ishikawa turned his head, surprised, and asked, "You know him?"

Jiang Hong was also a little curious. Had he become so famous?

So, tennis fans in Japan have heard of me?
