I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Although what Balentin said was actually one of the tactics they had formulated for this World Cup, it was still a bit too arrogant to say it out loud.

"Maybe his mind is not on the game."

Turning his head and glancing at Reinhardt's back, Hopkins shook his head and said, "Let's go back too. Don't embarrass Ralph."

"Ah."

The others nodded.

They all knew that their captain and coaching staff were unhappy because of some issues. It was just because of Reinhardt's indispensability and his strong cohesion for the team.

Otherwise, their commander would have changed his name long ago.

therefore.

The others, led by Hopkins, were doing their best to help Reinhardt maintain his authority as captain. They always liked to run around, but they seemed to be particularly well-behaved in recent days.

They didn't want to affect Reinhardt's plan because of themselves.

"but."

Looking at Reinhardt's back again, a sharp look flashed in Hopkins' eyes.

Because he vaguely guessed what the other party was going to do next.

"Won!!!"

When the American team left, the Japanese team representatives outside the stadium looked at their returning captain in awe, expressing their admiration and emotion.

When more people looked at Ishikawa, their eyes became more awed.

Before this.

Although the opponent defeated Byodoin, Oni, Qp and others, he still could not be regarded as a professional player. At least in the subconscious of many people, the gap between professional and non-professional is still very large.

but.

This game fully demonstrated Ishikawa's strength.

Defeating Amadeus would mean that he was no longer the professional master secretly believed to be, but a genuine professional.

The most noticeable change is the crazy flashing lights around.

That's right.

At this time, Ishikawa had become a hot rising star in the eyes of the media. Especially because of his exaggerated age, all the major media had even thought of what kind of headlines to use.

As a result, they were disappointed.

Ishikawa, who defeated Amadeus and led Japan to its third victory in the group stage, ignored the reporters who were about to approach him and stood behind Mifune and left with the team.

In this regard.

Including the head coach of the Swiss team, as well as players such as Amadeus and Tasta, their opinions of Ishikawa are undoubtedly higher.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the team that can stop the record of the King's Ten Consecutive Championships is the Japanese team led by this guy!"

The old man spoke quietly.

Others nodded in approval.

of course.

They didn't give up either.

This is just a group stage match, and what follows is the real elimination stage with no way out.

According to the group ranking, the Swiss team ranks second in points and has already secured advancement to the next round.

Switzerland also has a chance.

As long as they are not too unlucky in the next draw, they will draw the two teams Germany and Japan.

But it's a pity.

This is just their beautiful imagination.

That afternoon.

While the top 16 teams for the World Cup were decided, the draw results for the remaining matches were also released.

The Swiss team did not meet the Japanese team again, but did meet the German team that was trying to achieve the record of ten consecutive world championships.

As for the Japanese team, they drew a completely new opponent in the round of 16.

"This is incredible luck!"

In a hotel room in downtown Melbourne, the faces of the American team members were all very solemn as they looked at the match list on the table.

Because their opponent is the Japanese team that defeated the world's second-ranked Swiss team in the morning match!

No one can be happy facing such a powerful enemy.

"correct."

As if he had thought of something, Balentin looked around and said in surprise, "Where are Ralph and the others?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Yes!

The draw results have come out. Facing the Japanese team, the strongest dark horse in this World Cup, no one is sure.

But Reinhardt, who should have stepped forward at this time to calm people's hearts, was nowhere to be seen.

"He?"

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Hopkins sighed and said with emotion: "He is looking for a way to defeat the Japanese team in the next game."

Chapter 455 Reinhardt's Action

In the World Cup quarter-finals, the United States team, which is the No. 1 team in America and one of the top teams in Europe and America, was shrouded in a haze.

Because their opponent is the Japanese team.

In the past, they would not have taken this team seriously. But just now, the Japanese team advanced to the second round as the first in the group.

among them.

The opponent even defeated the Swiss team, which is ranked second in the world.

This made the entire American team feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Many people even regarded the next game as the final. But at such a critical moment, the captain of the American team, Reinhardt, the only one who could unite the team, disappeared.

Dusk.

Outside another hotel about 3 kilometers away from the American team's hotel, a blond young man wearing a light blue jacket slowly walked towards the gate.

"Hello."

Arriving at the front desk, the young man asked, "Excuse me, does Echizen Ryoma live here?"

"Um that"

The girl in charge of reception was obviously stunned by the question. She immediately shook her head and said, "Sorry, we cannot release the guest's information to the public."

"is my problem."

The blond young man, Reinhardt, came to his senses and realized that he was too anxious. He said again: "I am his friend and I want to ask him out for a talk. Please tell him that my name is Ralph Reinhardt."

"Ok."

The girl nodded.

Then he dialed a number, but after a long time, no one answered.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about this."

"is my problem."

Although Reinhardt was in a bad mood, he still kept a faint smile on his face: "Thank you very much for your help. This is my phone number. If he comes back later, please call me."

As he spoke, he handed over a business card with his phone number printed on it. The girl took it with a red face.

Although the hotel has its own rules.

But for girls aged seventeen or eighteen, I'm afraid no one can refuse a business card handed over by such a handsome young man.

"correct."

After carefully accepting the business card, the girl looked at the other person's back as he left. She seemed to have thought of something and said, "If I remember correctly, the players of this team went to the outdoor tennis practice field."

"Oh?"

Reinhardt perked up.

Then he turned around, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Excuse me, where is it?"

"Right, right in the leisure area at the back door of the hotel."

The girl was obviously frightened. She didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.

"Thank you very much."

After getting the answer, Reinhardt left the lobby and walked towards the building area behind the hotel.

Looking at his appearance, it is hard to imagine that this is the calm and steady captain of the American team. But there is no other way. For Reinhardt, before the match with the Japanese team, he must find the most important missing piece of the puzzle in his plan.

Reinhardt's gaffe was due to his calm judgment, because he knew very well that if he was missing that person, they would not be able to win the match against the Japanese team tomorrow!

For the team's victory.

At the same time, he also wanted to find out the truth about the other party's departure for his own sake. No matter what, he had to get the answer from that person himself.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Behind the hotel, there is a large open-air tennis court. The venue facilities are all at the level of professional competitions.

This is a supporting facility of the hotel, because this hotel is very famous locally and specializes in tennis themes.

at this time.
