As the game between Kanna and Greg came to an end, in the first round of the group stage, the Neon team defeated the American team, ranked fifth in the world, with a total score of 3:1.
This gave the audience on the sidelines an unreal feeling. After all, the Neon team had not appeared in the World Championship for more than ten years and was a weak team before the World Cup.
The US team is ranked fifth in the world and is recognized as the team with the best chance of reaching the BIG4.
However, when these two teams met, the final outcome was that the Neon team, which was regarded as a weak team, defeated the American team with professional players.
Although it was not easy to win, it was not particularly difficult, especially in the last game. Shinichi, a junior high school student of the Neon team, defeated the only professional player of the American team in a crushing state. If you didn't watch the game, this would be really disappointing.
It’s hard to believe.
It's just that this is real...
The few people who came from BIG4 looked at Wu Xinyi with their eyes, then turned around and left without making any stop.
Now for them, it is better to quickly return to their team and truly inform their coaches and teammates about everything that happened today. Now, they must be extremely vigilant against the Neon Team.
Because Team Neon has risen, and at the same time, an invincible monster has been born.
……
In the neon player area, after the referee announced the end of the game, the players and coaches were in a state of excitement.
Although they had thought about defeating the fifth-ranked American team in the world from the beginning, when they actually did it, many people always felt as if they were living in a dream.
Especially the coaches, after confirming that this was not a dream, the expressions on their faces were even more excited than those of the players.
This victory in the group stage is not only the Neon team's first victory in the World Cup in decades; at the same time, after winning against the United States, the Neon team's qualifying situation in the group stage of this World Cup can be said to be very good.
Defeat India in one round, and the Neon team will have a great chance of directly advancing to the knockout rounds.
While the coaches were excited, many junior high school students felt greatly touched, especially Tezuka, Yukimura, and Akutsu.
At this moment, they were looking at Kanna Shinichi who was walking off the court with complex eyes. They never thought that Kanna would stand at the top of the world so quickly and become an existence that was completely beyond their reach, even if they faced
Professional players can also beat their opponents until they are unable to fight back.
Just when the junior high school student's mind was filled with thoughts, Kanna had already returned to the contestants' area and said to Mifune: "Mifune-sensei, you are fortunate to have lived up to your fate."
"Hahaha..., well done!"
Seeing Kanna's return, Mifune rarely laughed in front of the other members of the Neon Team. The serious expression on his face had long since disappeared, and his eyes looking at Kanna were filled with relief.
The other three coaches also looked at Kanna as if they were rare treasures.
"Kanna, now you are going to be famous all over the world. I think even the BIG4 team will have a headache facing you."
On the side, Byodoin looked at Kanna Shinichi with envy in his eyes. He also wanted to defeat professional players and make his name in the World Cup.
When he heard Byodoin's words, Kanna's expression remained as stern as ever, and he just said lightly: "Actually, I have no interest in the so-called world fame. All I care about is winning the game."
Looking at Kanna who was still calm despite defeating the professional players, the coaches couldn't help but admire secretly in their hearts.
This is Kami Shinichi. Even if he crushes professional players, he still wins without being arrogant. His face is extremely calm. This kid has the appearance of a king.
Not only the coaches admired Kanna's attitude of not being arrogant after winning, but the other Neon players also admired Kanna Shinichi in their hearts. After all, if they had reached Kanna's level, they would never be able to be so calm. Of course, there are also people who look at Shen Wuxin with doubts on their faces for a moment. This person is Ruijiang Zuoduo. He always feels that Shen Wu is being duplicitous.
……
While the Neon team was enjoying themselves, the atmosphere of the American team was particularly gloomy. They did not expect that they, ranked fifth in the world, would suffer a disastrous defeat when facing the weak team of Neon.
"Sorry, Reinhardt."
Looking at the demoralized members of Team USA, Greg, who had just returned, couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Although he could not defeat his opponent even if he went all out in this game, Greg secretly took the initiative to admit defeat, which made Greg feel more or less guilty when facing his teammates.
However, when I thought about how I would become famous with Kanna and have sponsors come to me in the future, the guilt in my heart immediately dissipated a lot.
"No need to be sorry, Senior Greg, the Neon Team's strength is beyond our imagination."
Reinhardt comforted Greg. Now that the defeat to Neon was doomed, he was more concerned about the subsequent game with the French team. So Reinhardt opened his mouth to Greg and asked: "Senior, in three days, what will happen?"
Can you play against France?"
"Of course!"
Although he still had some physical pain, three days was enough time for him to recover, so Greg agreed without any hesitation.
"That's good."
Hearing Greg's words, Reinhardt's face visibly relaxed. As long as the United States defeats France and India in subsequent games, the United States may not have a chance to break through in the group stage.
But now that I heard that Greg's fighting ability is safe, the US team will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning in the remaining group matches.
……
Five minutes later, the two teams gathered in front of the net.
Seeing Kanna appear in front of him again, Reinhardt stretched out his hand and said to Kanna: "Congratulations, you have won."
After seeing Kanna's performance today, Reinhardt's desire to win over him, which had been silent before, is now burning again. He really wants to bring a player as powerful as Kanna back to the United States.

"Thank you." After shaking hands with Reinhardt, Kanna replied in a very calm tone.
Reinhardt didn't care about this, but looked at Kami Shinichi expectantly: "Are you interested in joining the American team? Of course, you can put forward any conditions."
Reinhardt's words were spoken in Japanese. Everyone on the American team didn't know what Reinhardt was talking about, but everyone on the Neon team understood it, so they focused on Reinhardt and Kanna.
On Shinichi.
But Kanna didn't hesitate at all and refused directly: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in joining the American team."
As Kanna refused, the players on Team Neon all smiled slightly. Kanna was Neon's strongest fighter, and if someone poached him, it would be Team Neon's biggest loss. Mifune Irido, who was not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but think slightly. After Kanna showed great strength today, other countries will definitely find ways to win over him later.
The best way to win over Kanna Shinichi is money. After all, Mifune heard from Yamabuki, the old man Banta, that even though Kanna always said that he was not interested in money, in his heart he was just the opposite.
, this guy seems to value money very much.
With this thought, Mifune felt that with Kanna's current strength, it was time for him to take action and attract sponsors for Kanna.
……
One day later, the news that the Neon team knocked out the fifth-ranked American team in the world first reached the ears of all the participating teams in this World Cup, and soon spread throughout Europe. Then, almost all tennis magazines,
They all published this information, and with the publication of the magazine, the names of Neon Team and Kanna Shinichi soon spread throughout the world.
Especially Kanna Shinichi, after defeating professional player Greg at the age of 12, his personal strength ranking in the U17 World Cup has risen to eighth place.
But after watching the video of the match between Kannashi Shinichi and Greg, many people know that this ranking is obviously low for Kannawu Shinichi. After all, with the strength he has shown, even if he is on the personal level
The first place on the list is no exaggeration.
While Kanna's personal strength ranking has entered the top ten in the world, Neon Team's ranking has also moved up a few places, from the original ranking of twenty-seventh to the current ranking of nineteen. Neon Team has successfully entered the rankings.
The top twenty.
Although the Neon Team's ranking has increased significantly, everyone knows that this ranking is also inconsistent with the Neon Team's strength. Based on the strength they showed when they competed with the American team, maybe the Neon Team is the strongest team under the BIG4
.
With the sudden rise of the Neon Team, the BIG4 teams began to study the Neon Team, especially Kannashi Shinichi.
Although Reinhardt is the main player of the US team, Greg, a professional player, is undoubtedly more important than Reinhardt in the eyes of the world.
Kami Shinichi defeated Greg in a crushing manner, which shocked many people in BIG4.
Of course, while shocking Kanna's strength, they are also thinking about how to recruit Kanna into their team.
After all, in the U17 World Cup, as long as the players are confirmed to live in that country in the future, they can represent that country in the World Cup.
Even during the game, the court can be changed temporarily.
Because of this, after Kanna showed his terrifying strength, every BIG4 team started to prepare to recruit Kanna...
