Chapter 391: Ranking of Neon Junior High School Students
Kanna brought Akutsu back to the team. Looking at Akutsu's return, everyone spoke out.
"Akutsu boy, you did a good job!"
…
"You are so reliable, Akutsu-kun..."
…
At this moment, everyone in Neon had indescribable excitement on their faces. Even the head coach Mifune Irido, who had always been rough and serious, was grinning widely at this moment, and his face was flushed with excitement.<
/p>
For decades, he has been working hard for the rise of Neon Tennis; now that the Neon Team has won the world championship, he has finally fulfilled this dream...
……
Soon, after the players from both sides of the finals went through a short period of repair, the last important moment of this World Cup officially arrived...
The award ceremony has begun...
A group of people surrounded Kanna and stood on the high platform. After all, as the current leader of the Neon team, he can only accept the championship trophy awarded by the organizing committee.
Not long after the Neon team stood on the high platform, they saw an old man wearing a high-end suit holding a trophy in front of the Neon team.
The moment the trophy was handed over to Kanna, the Neon Team members on the high platform let out cheers.
The reporters in the stands also frequently raised their cameras at this moment and pressed the shutter on the neon crowd.
Especially for Tennis Weekly reporter Mamoru Inoue, the shutter speed is not weaker than Akutsu's swing.
At this time, the other teams in the stands who came specially to watch the game looked at the neon crowd excitedly holding the trophy on the high platform, and their expressions were solemn.
The players of the Neon team are too young. In the next World Cup, all the Neon players standing on the high platform are all players of the right age.
When the World Cup starts again in two years, these neon players will probably become even stronger.
The mountain of the German team has not completely fallen, but the mountain of the Neon team has risen rapidly. If other teams want to win the championship in the next World Cup, they must climb over these two mountains...
"The next Neon team is probably our biggest rival for the championship." In the Swiss team, Laimbeer looked at the Neon team celebrating on the field and sighed solemnly.
Amadeus, who was sitting next to him, stared fixedly at the stadium. After a long time, his mouth opened slightly: "If we want to defeat them, what we have now is not enough. What we have to do now is to work hard to defeat them."
Become stronger..."
Not only Amadeus thinks so, but the future leaders of other countries also have the same thoughts at this moment.
They all know in their hearts that only when they become stronger can they be qualified to challenge Neon, the two giant mountains in Germany...
Of course, the most complicated emotions on the court were those of the runner-up German team. They themselves did not expect that they, who had won the World Cup for eight consecutive years, would lose to a team that had not entered the World Cup in the past twenty years in this World Cup final.
Team Neon, this has caused a lot of blows to many German players...
"The German team has not completed its ninth consecutive championship. This is my responsibility..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although his expression was still cold, his tone was full of amusement.
"No..., you don't need to take any responsibility." 78-year-old head coach Pupuke chuckled: "Although we lost this World Cup, the strength of our German team does not need to be proved by winning the World Cup.
…”
Having said this, Pupuke's eyes flashed with relief, and then he continued: "On the contrary, now that we have lost this burden, I hope you can become stronger and act as a challenger in the next World Cup.
Take revenge on Team Neon!"
As the words fell, Pupuke glanced at the members of the German team again, Polk, Polk Jr., Schneider...
Then he turned his attention back to Polk: "In the next World Cup, the German team will be led by you, Jürgen. I believe that in your hands, the German team will definitely be able to reach the top of the world again..." Looking at Pupuke's gaze, Polk's face became extremely determined. After looking at the Neon Team members on the high platform, Polk nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
……
Half a day…
The news of Neon's final victory spread like a whirlwind throughout the world of tennis.
After the German team won eight consecutive championships, several years later, a brand new team has reached the top of the world.
Kanna Shinichi, Aku Tsujin, Byodoin Phoenix, Tanejima Shuji, Irie Kanata... almost all the winning members of Neon are mentioned and discussed repeatedly by players from various teams around the world.<
/p>
After all, in the next World Cup, the Neon Team will be the biggest mountain standing in front of them.
However, everyone in the Neon Team did not have time to pay attention to this. Now, under the leadership of Atobe, they came to the most upscale restaurant in Paris to celebrate winning the World Cup.
Not only the U17 regulars, but also the junior high school reserve team were among the celebrating team, and even Tennis Weekly reporter Mamoru Inoue was invited.
Now that the Neon team has won the championship, the original Neon U17 no longer needs to be secretive and can appear openly and openly in front of the world.
Tennis Weekly can help Neon U17 win the championship and give Neon the biggest publicity in the country...
At this time, in the lobby of this most upscale restaurant in Paris, sixty or seventy people were having a carnival to win the championship.
Originally, everyone wanted to organize a gourmet showdown between national and high school students, but after Mitsuya, Liu, and Gan came up with a reward and punishment plan, the showdown was immediately called off by everyone...
No one has forgotten the horror of Mitsugaya rice balls and dried juice during the previous conversation on the beach...
So everyone returned to their normal state of eating, drinking and having fun...
Because everyone was underage, the restaurant did not provide alcoholic drinks, so the contestants took the drinks and started drinking at each other.
Two hours later, the celebration banquet was almost coming to an end, when the members of the coaching staff suddenly stood up in their seats.
I saw the head coach Mifune Irido lightly nodded to Kurobe, and Kurobe quickly understood.
"Ahem...Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to announce to you here."
Kurobe looked around at everyone, cleared his throat, and pressed his hands down slightly.
Seeing this, everyone who was originally having fun suddenly became quiet, waiting for Kurobe's next words.
Kurobe didn't give in. After everyone calmed down, he immediately continued to speak: "I just got the exact news that junior high school students will be officially included in the next U17 World Cup. It is precisely because of this that the Neon Tennis Association has officially decided , in addition to the U17 team, set up a U14 team..."
Following Kurobe's words, the junior high school students burst into excitement, with everyone's faces filled with joy.
After all, in the U17, they also competed with those high school students for positions, but because of the age difference, they still felt like non-staff after all.
Nowadays, junior high school students have established a formal team of their own, which gives many junior high school students a sudden feeling of belonging...
Seeing the junior high school students becoming a little noisy, Kurobe pressed his arm helplessly again. After everyone calmed down, he continued to speak: "Although the U14 representative team has just been established, its status is no different from that of U17. All rules and regulations will be the same as U17..."
Having said this, Kurobe's eyes glanced around all the junior high school students, and then continued: "Before this, we have selected from you junior high school students based on the performance of this World Cup and the previous results. Based on the strength shown in the U17 training camp, twenty junior high school players were selected as the first regular candidates for the U14 representative team. Next, the head coach Mifune announced the list of the twenty regular candidates for the U14 representative team, and invited Players receive their own badges."
After Kurobe finished speaking, he retreated behind Mifune and remained silent.
However, at this time, the crowd of junior high school students gradually became noisy, and many people had the desire to join the first U14 team in their eyes.
Although many people know that World Cup players like Kanna, Akutsu, and Nioh have definitely entered the first U14 Neon team roster.
But even so, there are still a few vacant places. After all, there were 15 junior high school students who entered the U17 representative team before, but now there are 20 people in the U14 regular selection. Subtract these 15 people.
There are still five junior high school students who will enter the main selection of U14.
There is no junior high school student who doesn’t want to be selected...
As a result, everyone calmed down consciously and looked longingly at the head coach Mifune Irido, who was about to announce the roster.
Looking at the longing eyes of the junior high school students, Mifune smiled in his heart. Sure enough, these kids are full of desire for this U14 main selection.
This is a good thing. Only by moving forward can we continue to become stronger.
However, Mifune's face was very serious. After taking a big sip of wine from the wine gourd, he took a list and announced it loudly.
"NO.1, God has no faith..."
As Mifune finished speaking, Kanna stood up and came to the coaching staff. Then he took the No. 1 badge of the U14 team from the hand of spiritual coach Saito Yu.
The other junior high school students in the restaurant naturally have no objections to Kanna taking first place. After all, he is now the strongest player in the World Cup.
After taking off the badge from Kanna, he pinned it directly to the collar of his jacket, and handed the original U17 team No. 1 badge back to Saito Yuji's hands.
Although the two badges are almost identical, only the small line on the top is changed from U17 to U14.
However, Kanna was a little curious about Kurobe and the others preparing the U14 badges so quickly. He estimated in his heart that the coaching staff had planned to form a U14 representative team from the beginning, and the badges had probably been prepared a long time ago.<
/p>
After receiving Kanna's badge, Mifune continued to speak: "NO.2, Akutsujin."
After Mifune finished speaking, Akutsu quickly came to the coaches. While receiving the new badges, he also handed back the U17 badge that originally belonged to Kimijima Ikuto to Saito.
As for Akutsu becoming the No. 2 player in the U14 team, most of the junior high school students had no objections, but there were quite a few who, with fighting intent in their eyes, were staring at the badge hanging on Akutsu's collar... For example, Tezuka, Yukimura, Sanada, Atobe and others...
"NO.3, Nioh Masaharu..."
Mifune Irido announced Nioh's name. At this moment, even Nioh himself was surprised. He really didn't expect that he would sit on the throne of No. 3.
As for the other junior high school students in Neon, while looking at Nioh, many of them looked at Yukimura. After all, it was now obvious that Nioh must be ranked above his own minister, which is quite interesting... Of course, Yukimura only had a faint smile on his face at this time. When he looked at Niou, his face was full of relief...
Kanna, who had already sat down at this time, was also looking back and forth between Nioh and Yukimura. Because of his arrival, Nioh was completely awakened and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Even his current ranking has reached above Yukimura...
"NO.4, Tezuka Kunimitsu..."
No one is surprised that Tezuka is ranked at this position. After all, his performance in the World Cup and his contribution among junior high school students seem to be only weaker than those of Kanna, Akutsu, Nioh, and
Yukimura is between brothers, no matter who is in this position between these two people, it is not surprising...
"NO.5, Yukimura Seiichi..."
As expected, after Tezuka, there is Yukimura whose performance in the World Cup is almost the same as Tezuka...
"NO.6, Juzaburo Mori..."
Most of the junior high school students have no objections to the second-year ice king's ace ranking in this position.
"NO.7, Genichiro Sanada..."
As the name fell, only one person among the junior high school students showed dissatisfaction on his face. This person was none other than the organizer of this celebration banquet, Atobe Keigo.
After all, Atobe has sufficient confidence in his current strength. Even if he cannot defeat those at the top, he is still quite confident in dealing with Sanada.
It's just that Atobe doesn't know that Sanada has awakened the Black Dragon Triple Slash. Although the number of times he can use it in each game is limited, his strength has truly become much stronger...
The coaching staff is well aware of the changes in the players, so after some research, Sanada and Atobe finally decided to give the No. 7 position to Sanada.
Mifune ignored Atobe's dissatisfaction and continued to announce the list of candidates, and the next person was Atobe.
"NO.8, Atobe Keigo..."
Although this ranking is not low, Atobe's face is very ugly, especially when his former defeated opponent Sanada is actually ranked above him this time...
"NO.9, Fuji Shusuke..."
As Mifune announced Fuji's name, Fuji walked up to the coaching staff with a gentle smile on his face.
Fuji is very satisfied with his ranking, that is, he is not too far ahead to steal the limelight, nor is he at the bottom. The ranking is too low, but in the middle. For Fuji who wants to keep a low profile, this ranking is just right. At this time, Kanna also looked at Fuji. After the early rise of Niou, Fuji Shusuke became much stronger than in the original time and space. It seems that it was indeed Seigaku who dragged this genius down...
"NO.10, Shiraishi Kuranosuke..."
The U14 top ten list has been confirmed. Some people feel a little dissatisfied with Shiraishi being ranked in this position. This time it is Tachibana Kippei who did not get a chance to play in the World Cup.
But the next moment, Mifune Irido announced his name.
"NO." 11, Jujuping...
…
"NO.12, a thousand years and a thousand miles..."
…
"NO.13, Liu Rener..."
…
"NO.14, Yuan Tetsuya..."
…
"NO.15, Yushi Shinobi..."
…
"NO.16, Ishida Gin..."
…
"NO.17, Marui Bunta..."
…
"NO.18, Gan Sadaharu..."
…
"NO.19, I am humble enough to endure..."
…
"NO.20, Shishito Ryo..."
…
Soon, the full list of the first U14 representative team was released, and six of them were selected from Ice King, which is considered the largest force in U14.
Following Hyotei is Rikkai University, with five players entering the U14 representative team.
After the number of candidates in Rikkai University, there is Kansai's upstart Shitenhoji. They have a total of four players entering the U14 main selection. However, none of the Tentenhoji's rankings in U14 are too high. Shiraishi is the highest. , it’s just at the bottom of the top ten of U14.
On the contrary, Yamabuki, who has one less selected player than Shitenhoji, has two players, Tezuka and Fuji, among the U14 top ten. Together with Inui Sadaharu, the strength of the Yamabuki trio is even better than that of Shitenhoji. Even better.
The remaining two spots are occupied by Tachibana and Chitose from the Kyushu giant Lions. All 20 people in the U14 team are from these five schools.
As the dust of the U14 list has settled, those who were selected for the main selection have surprises on their faces, while those who have not been selected have faces full of unwillingness.
But soon, someone discovered that the third-year players like Akuto Mitsugaya, Fuwa Ironman, and Zenyuki Taira, who were eligible to enter the U14 main selection, did not appear on the list, which made people feel a little confused. I'm curious as to why these three people were not selected for the U14 representative team.
But Mifune's next words gave everyone the answer: "Mitsuya Akuto, Fujitsu Ironman, Taira Zenyuki, the three of you, I will arrange for you to enter the U17 trials."
As Mifune finished speaking, everyone finally understood that these third-year seniors were officially included in the U17 team.
However, Mifune's words were not over yet. He glanced at all the junior high school students, and then in a rough voice, he continued to say in a deep voice: "The ranking of U14 is only temporary. It will have the same cruelty as U17."
Challenge mechanism, as long as you have confidence,
You can challenge players ranked higher than you, and players ranked higher are not allowed to refuse to compete against players below their own ranking. Of course, this kind of challenge must be in the U14 training camp to be built later. If it is a private competition
, then the challenge will be invalid,"
Having said this, Mifune Irido grinned, and then continued to say to all the junior high school students: "The first U14 intra-team challenge will be held in a month. If you want to defeat those who are ranked higher than you,
Players, then in the next month, you should work hard to become stronger!"
As Mifune finished speaking, many junior high school students' eyes shone with light.
Among them, Atobe fixed his eyes on Sanada, while Tachibana Kippei looked at Shiraishi and Fuji.
As for Yukimura and Tezuka, they looked at Akutsu. After all, in their hearts, except for Kanna, they were never weaker than anyone else.
Tennis Weekly reporter Mamoru Inoue, who had been silently working on his business, now looked at Mifune Iromichi and other members of the coaching staff, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
This kind of competition system did not let the players' fighting spirit slacken after winning the World Cup, but instead stimulated those junior high school players even more.
Of course, the establishment of the Neon U14 representative team is also a big news. After all, the list of U14 members can clearly tell that in the current Neon Junior High School National Competition, the true status of each school
Strength, I am afraid that this news will cause a great sensation in the junior high school tennis class in Neon...
