Listening to Yamazaki Ue's words, the Ice Emperor's main candidates all looked at him in confusion.
"Their rackets are all made of wood, and they are a bit longer than the rackets we use. The most important thing is that one of their singles rackets is hexagonal." Yamazaki said what he observed.
Come out.
"Isn't this kind of racket illegal?" Shishito asked first. Not only was he curious, but the other Hyokui main candidates were also curious.
The requirements for rackets are very vague in tennis regulations. In addition to knowing that tennis competitions have strict requirements for racket size, the Ice King main players do not understand the requirements for shape.
"There is no violation. The coach at Liujia is a highly respected senior. He knows the rules of tennis better than anyone else."
Sakaki Taro, who was sitting on the coaching bench, had already stood up. As the real helmsman of the Hyotei Tennis Club in recent years, this Hyotei consultant was the most familiar with Rokkaku, so when he saw Hyotei and the main candidates who were curious,
Sakaki Taro rarely explained to them.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Sakaki Taro's words, but after knowing that the racket was not illegal, everyone was more concerned about the function of such a special racket.
So Shishido Ryo continued to ask Ninzu and Yamazaki: "What use can you see for the racket in the hexagon in the game?"
"Those hexagonal singles who use a larger racket, their defensive ability has indeed increased a lot during the game, and the hexagonal singles who use the hexagonal racket add more spin every time they hit the tennis ball.
After the tennis ball hits the ground, it can quickly change the direction of the ball."
"This Hexagon's singles has good ball control skills, otherwise it would be impossible to change the direction after the tennis ball lands. It seems that the Hexagon has been in the country all year round in recent years, and it is somewhat real."
After listening to Yamazaki Ue's words, Mori Juzaburo touched his chin. Among the Hyokui people, he was the only one who had participated in the national competition.
Therefore, he knew that not all teams entering the country were strong. He once encountered a school where the strongest person was only at the Kanto level, but in the end he successfully entered the national competition.
"It seems that these special rackets can indeed enhance Hexagon's main selection strength a lot."
After listening to what a few people said, Atobe also understood that the rackets in the hexagon were entirely made to improve the players' strength.
"After all, the racket is just an external object. What really determines the outcome is the person holding the racket."
Kanna Shinichi, who was on the side, saw that everyone's faces became solemn because of the matter about the hexagonal racket, and he couldn't help but speak from the side.
"Kanna is right, the one who can win the game is the one holding the racket. As long as the strength is strong enough, no matter how many off-the-table moves the opponent uses, it will be of no avail."
Sakaki Taro glanced at Kami Noshin in agreement. The minister really made the right choice, and he really saw clearly what he cared about.
After hearing the words of Sakaki Taro and Kanna Shinichi, the Hyōtei Chief Chosen suddenly understood. The solemn expressions on their faces disappeared, and they became joyful again, clamoring for Atobe Keigo to treat them.
An hour later, the Ice Emperor main candidates walked into a luxury seafood restaurant with cheerful faces...
…………
……
Time flies by like a blink of an eye, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. During this week, the Hyokui main candidates have not slacked off at all because of entering the country. Every player is training hard to prepare for the last two Kanto competitions.
They want to march across the country as champions of the Kanto Competition.
9 a.m., Ariake Tennis Forest Park.
Today the semi-finals of the Kanto Competition will be held here. The two teams in the top half are Rikkai University and Yamabuki. The two schools will fight for a spot in the finals;
In the second half, it was Hyokui versus Rokkaku Middle School. In the eyes of the audience, this match was also a strong showdown.
After all, these four teams are regulars who have entered the country in recent years, especially Hyotei and Rikkai University. One is considered to be the strongest school in the country in terms of overall strength this year, and the other has won the Kanto Competition for more than ten years in a row.
.
Although many people think that Yamabuki and Rokkaku may cause trouble for these two schools, Hyotei and Tatekai should be the finalists in the finals.
By nine-thirty, the organizing committee has arranged the court, and the two games will start at the same time. The game between Hyotei and Rokkaku Middle School will be on court 12, while the game between Tatekai University and Yamabuki will be on court 6.
After receiving the notice from the organizing committee, Ice Emperor Zhengxuan took a huge cheerleading team to the competition venue.
When everyone arrived at Court No. 12, they saw that the stadium was already surrounded by spectators.
"The Ice Emperor is here."
The main candidates in the Hexagon arrived one step earlier than the Ice Emperor. At this time, when they saw the aura exuded by the Ice Emperor's main candidates, their faces became extremely solemn.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, just the names of the three national aces of Ice Emperor, put a lot of pressure on Hexagon.
"Haha... This year's ice emperor is very strong. It doesn't matter even if you lose, just try not to have any regrets. The important thing is to learn to enjoy the happiness that tennis brings to you."
I saw a trembling old man, kneeling and supporting himself on the coaching bench of Rojia Middle School, smiling at the selectors beside him.
"Don't worry, Dad, even though the Ice King is very strong, we won't necessarily lose."
Otani Ikue, the third-year director of Rokkaku Middle School, smiled and said, "They are all greatly influenced by this old man. Although they also value the outcome of the game, what they care more about is enjoying tennis during the game.
If it weren't for the fact that the players in Hexagonal Middle School were not talented enough, there would have been people in Hexagonal School who reached the limit of seamlessness long ago.
"Well, okay."
The old man smiled and nodded. He had deep feelings for the children in the Hexagon.
Maybe they are not very strong, but they are really enjoying tennis. Whenever they see the smiling faces of the children after the game, the old man will express the deepest joy in his heart.
On the other side, Sakaki Taro first led the Hyotei main selection into the player area, but when he saw the old coach in the opposite hexagon, he walked over alone.
"Hiyama-sensei."
Sakaki Taro came to Rokkakinaka's coach and bowed slightly. He was very respectful to the old man.
"It's Sakaki."
The old man had a smile on his face, and then looked at the Ice Emperor's team: "This year's Ice Emperor is very good."
"Thank you for your compliment. Please give me your advice for today's game."
……
At this time, the Ice Emperor's main candidates were also looking at Rokkachu on the opposite side. They were wearing purple-red coats. Each of them had a fierce aura, but this fierce aura was only on the outside. Rokkachu was inside.
Mainly selected, everyone is actually very good.
In the past few years, whether in the Kanto Competition or the National Competition, they have been upright when playing. Except for the rackets made for them by the coach, they never do any unnecessary tricks. Kami Shinichi has a good impression of such a school.<
/p>
After a while, Sakaki Taro came back from Rokkaku. At this time, the referee's voice came from the stadium broadcast announcing that the game was about to start.
"The semi-finals of the Kanto Tournament are about to begin, with Hyotei Academy facing off against Rokkaku Middle School."
"The first two matches will be a doubles match between Rokkaku Middle School's Otani Ikue and Kobayashi Shota against Hyotei Academy Yamazaki Ue and Kami... Kami Nobuichi."
??The coach at Rokkaku is indeed called Hiyama. In episode 89, Sumire Ryuzaki mentioned this name when talking to Banlao
