The Prince of Tennis: From Data-Driven Tennis to the Pinnacle of His Career

Chapter 112 Fierce Contest

Chapter 204 Fierce Contest

After breakfast, Kagura Ichijin went straight to a court on Court 4, facing the slightly glaring morning sun.

When he saw Guji Muxin and Ishimaru Kanto standing side by side on the sidelines watching the game, he paused slightly, but then continued walking straight over.

"Hey seniors, why are you here so early? It shouldn't be time for your competition yet, right?"

Kagura Ichijin stepped forward, patted Tani Yoshiki Shin and Ishimaru Kanto on the shoulder, and smiled.

Yesterday, these two senior students made it to venue number five and successfully defeated other challengers to defend their positions.

"I came here in advance to see how capable these senior students are."

Gu Jimin gave a brief reply and then focused his attention back on the arena.

Although there is only one ranking difference between Court 4 and Court 5, the reality is quite different.

Although he only stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, he still noticed something unusual.

The players on court number four were much stronger than he had expected, and were not even in the same league as those on court number five.

"So that's how it is."

Kagura Ichijin nodded slightly and followed the gazes of the two senior students, looking directly at the two upperclassmen who were fiercely competing on the court.

The closer to the field in the U17 training camp, the fiercer the competition, which results in a field full of strong players.

In this environment where it's either advance or retreat, without overwhelming strength, it's simply impossible to gain a foothold here.

"Kagura, do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Ishimaru Kanto pursed his lips, turned to look at Kagura Ichijin, and asked in a low voice with a solemn expression.

As an assistant coach for the U17 training camp, Kagura Yiren should have some understanding of the players here.

As for him and Guji Muxin, it goes without saying that Kagura Yiren knows their trump cards very well, so it shouldn't be difficult to predict the odds of victory for either side.

"have."

Kagura Ichijin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before decisively giving an affirmative answer.

The players in court number four are indeed very strong, but Guji Muxin and Ishimaru Kanto are not to be underestimated either. If the two sides were to fight on the court, it would really depend on their respective conditions.

"So, what are our chances of winning?"

A hint of joy finally appeared on Ishimaru Kanto's tense face, and he quickly asked.

Although he and Gujimusin have not lost a single positional match since entering the U17 training camp, they are really unsure whether they can maintain their winning streak as the playing field continues to improve.

"It's about 50/50."

Seeing the expectant look in Ishimaru Kanto's eyes, Kagura Ichijin smiled and offered an extremely conservative prediction.

Compared to the senior students, Guji Muxin and Ishimaru Kanto are definitely at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness and experience.

However, fortunately, the two have been partners for many years, have extremely good teamwork, and possess excellent "synchronization," so their chances of winning are actually not small.

Upon learning that they only had a 50% chance of winning, the joy on the faces of Guji Muxin and Ishimaru Kanto vanished instantly, and they fell silent.

Since Kagura Ichijin has come to this conclusion, there must be some basis for it. It seems they need to be careful.

After an unknown amount of time, as the referee called out the names of Tani Yoshiki and Ishimaru Kanto, the two senior students took a deep breath, picked up their tennis bags, and walked straight into the court.

This time, their opponents are a temporary doubles team from the second year of high school, Shinobu and Matsudaira Chikahiko.

"The game will decide the winner, with Toshinobu/Matsudaira serving."

"You guys are really amazing, you've actually made it to court number five."

Looking at Tani Yoshiki Shin and Ishimaru Kanto in front of him, Matsudaira Chikahiko casually slung his racket over his shoulder, a smile playing on his lips.

For newcomers to the U17 training camp, it's really not easy to play on court number five within a week.

"Today we will replace you again."

Ishimaru Kanto glanced at the two ninjas in front of him, Matsudaira Chikahiko, and said defiantly.

On the field, there are only opponents, no seniors, and this is the rule in the U17 training camp: whoever is stronger has the right to speak.

"Is that so? Kid, I'll make you face reality."

Du Shinobu glanced at Ishimaru Kanto with interest, then turned and walked directly towards the service area.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service area, they all took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung their rackets forcefully.

"Bang!"

After running to the ball's landing point, Gu Jimusin decisively swung his racket to meet the attack.

"Bang!"

"Bang!

"Bang!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Matsudaira Chikahiko suddenly rushed to the net and hit a short ball.

"15-0!"

"They're definitely not easy to deal with."

Gu Jimuxin gripped his racket tightly, walked directly to the receiving area, and assumed a defensive stance.

It seems they have to go all out in this match, otherwise they are very likely to suffer a crushing defeat.

"Bang!"

After serving the ball again, Du Ren's expression became even more focused.

"Bang!"

"30-0!"

After more than twenty rounds, Du Ren scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"Bang!"

"30-15!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Ishimaru Kanto suddenly rushed to the net and delivered a volley.

"Bang!"

"Bang!

"Bang!"

After more than ten rounds, Matsudaira Chikahiko rushed to the net again and hit a volley.

"40-15!"

"That's interesting."

Seeing Matsudaira Chikahiko's equally astonishing movement speed, Ishimaru Kanto's eyes lit up.

No wonder the other party was so confident; it seems they really have the strength. This time, he and Gu Jimuxin have truly met their match.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After more than thirty rounds, Du Ren scored directly with a powerful smash.

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 1-0!"

After easily holding their serve, Toshinobu and Matsudaira Chikahiko exchanged a glance and both showed a relaxed smile.

Tani Yoshiki Shin and Ishimaru Kanto are already very strong among the first-year high school students, but unfortunately, with only this level of strength, they are not a threat to them.

After a year of hard training, they are much stronger than last year, and are simply not something that freshmen can compete with.

"Tornado!"

After reaching the service area, Ishimaru Kanto tossed the ball high into the air, then flicked his wrist to quickly hit the ball.

"Topspin serve? That's no problem for me."

Matsudaira Chikahiko's eyes lit up. He quickly ran to the ball's landing point and decisively swung his racket to return the ball.

"Bang!"

"0-15!"

After more than thirty rounds, Du Ren accurately hit the ball to the baseline.

"Tornado!"

After serving the ball again, Ishimaru Kanto carefully observed his opponent.

"Bang!"

After more than twenty rounds, Matsudaira Chikahiko rushed to the net again and hit a short shot.

"0-30!"

"This is troublesome."

After realizing that his serve was ineffective, Kanto Ishimaru's expression became unusually serious.

The players in the U17 training camp are so experienced that he really had no way to deal with opponents who were familiar with topspin.

"Ishimaru, let's use the goose formation."

After saying a few words in a deep voice, Gu Jimin walked directly to the position of the goose formation.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for them. If they continue to be passive like this, they may not even have a chance to fight back.

"it is good."

Ishimaru Kanto nodded, tossed the ball high into the air again, and swung his racket forcefully.

"Tornado!"

"Bang!

"Bang!"

"0-40!"

After more than ten rounds, Du Ren scored again with a baseline cross-court shot.

"Tornado!"

"Bang!"

After more than ten rounds, Matsudaira Chikahiko took advantage of Tani Yoshiki's delayed defensive retreat and hit the ball diagonally to the opposite side.

Blind spot.

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 2-0!"

After their serve was broken, Tanigi Mushin and Ishimaru Kanto looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never expected that using the goose formation would cause them to lose points even faster.

"Gu Ji, it seems we're not the only ones familiar with the wild goose formation."

Ishimaru Kanto gripped his racket tightly, a wry smile appearing on his face.

Now he finally understands why the players in the U17 training camp don't really use formations.

Unfortunately, they realized it too late. Now that they have lost their serve, they are in a completely disadvantageous position, and it will probably not be easy for them to turn the tide.

"Sigh! It seems I have no choice but to use my last trump card."

Guji Muxin sighed deeply, and then decisively used "Synchronicity".

Now they have no better solutions and can only take it one step at a time.

"Bang!"

Upon reaching the service court, Matsudaira Chikahiko tossed the ball high into the air and swung his racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

"Bang!

"Bang!"

After more than ten rounds, Gu Jimusin scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"0-15!"

"They're in sync."

Matsudaira Chikahiko and Miyako exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of shock on their faces.

They never expected that Guji Muxin and Ishimaru Kanto had mastered "Synchro," a technique that many doubles pairs had not yet learned.

"flower!"

After taking a deep breath, Matsudaira Chikahiko tossed the ball high into the air, flicked his wrist quickly, and hit the ball back directly.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball instantly flew over the net at supersonic speed, spinning sharply as it hurtled towards the other side.

"Bang!"

Facing the tennis ball that bounced to the left after landing, Ishimaru Kanto did not hesitate at all and decisively swung his racket to hit the ball back.

"Bang!"

"0-30!"

"15-30!"

"15-40!"

"30-40!"

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 2-1!"

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 2-2!"

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 3-2!"

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 3-3!"

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 3-4!"

"Game, Toshinobu/Matsudaira, 4-4!"

"It wasn't that easy after all."

As Kagura Ichijin watched as Toshinobu and Matsudaira Chikahiko caught up again, his expression grew increasingly complicated.

Miyako and Matsudaira Chikahiko are gradually getting used to "synchronization". If Tani Yoshiki Shin and Ishimaru Kanto still can't end the match, then this match will inevitably become a protracted battle.

At that time, the physical advantages of Toshinobu and Matsudaira Chikahiko will obviously give them a better chance of winning than Tani Yoshiki Shin and Ishimaru Kanto.

"Ugh!"

After letting out a deep sigh, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's commands to check the five dimensions of these people.
