The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 265 Group B Situation

"Since Gorgias has forfeited, the winner of this match is Toyama Kintaro."

"The total score was 3-0. The second match of Group B of the U17 World Cup was won by the Japanese team."

About ten minutes later, the referee announced the result to the audience.

On the scoreboard, the score was fixed at 5 to 4, with Kintaro Toyama temporarily taking the lead.

However, as Australia is one of the major bases of animal protection organizations, the concept of protecting animals always comes first.

So when Gorgias accidentally injured a little cormorant flying in the air, he resolutely gave up his brother's dream, chose to abstain immediately, and immediately left the venue alone with the little cormorant in his arms, looking for an animal hospital to treat it.

Such a dramatic ending made the members of the Bamboo Team look at each other in silence.

But since they won the game, they didn't say much.

After completing the preparations, he walked onto the field again, saluted other players of the Australian team after the game, and then quickly walked into the player tunnel to meet up with most of the people in the locker room.

"Team Bamboo has rejoined. Everyone retreat. We are heading back to the hotel."

After seeing the members of the Take Team coming back, Mifune Nyudo retracted his efforts, took all the team members, immediately left the venue, and got on the bus back to the hotel.

After a while, after returning to the hotel, the coaching staff disbanded the entire team, leaving only Yuuki and Byodoin to discuss the roster for tomorrow's game.

The reason why they were in such a hurry to discuss it was that when they returned to the hotel, another match in Group B had also been decided.

The match between Switzerland and Greece is over, and the winner is undoubtedly Switzerland.

After this game, the situation of Group B is as follows:

Japan team 2 wins 0 losses

Swiss team 1 win 1 loss

Australia team 1 win 1 loss

Greece team 0 wins 2 losses

And tomorrow, the last regular season round of Group B will be between Japan and Switzerland, and Australia and Greece.

"Tomorrow's game, we will play in the second game, but if Australia beats Greece and we lose to Switzerland, there will be three teams with two wins, and then there will be a playoff, which is not good news for us."

In the meeting room, Kurobe Yukio analyzed the current situation seriously.

Although they beat Australia easily today, the opponent is a team that beat Switzerland, so it is not impossible for them to beat Greece tomorrow.

So, they need to prepare for the worst.

"Tomorrow will be a tough battle. Take a look at Team Mei's roster. If you think it's inappropriate, you can give your opinions."

Mifune Nyudo pushed the paper with the list of players who would compete tomorrow in front of the others.

Maya Yuuki took a careful look and showed no surprise.

The singles players are Byodoin Phoenix, Duke Watanabe and Jin Akutsu, and the doubles teams are Mori Jusaburo & Omagari Ryuji and Marui Bunta & Kite Nagashiro.

This is the roster of Mei’s team tomorrow. At first glance, it seems that they are aiming to play a full five innings.

The only weak point on the list might be the choice for middle school students.

But this is already the best solution, because Mifune put too many top junior high school students in Team Takeshita.

"I have no problem, this is a good arrangement." Maya Yuuki said casually.

After reading it, Byodoin had no objection and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, we will definitely win this victory." Then, after confirming that there was no problem with the list, more than ten minutes later, the door of the conference room opened, and Maya Yuuki walked out first and returned to her room to rest.

……

the next morning.

All members of the team arrived at the venue again in a special car. Today is the last stage of the group stage regular season.

Since they were not having a game today, after arriving at the lounge, everyone put down what they were holding and gathered around the screen to watch the first match.

The match between Australia and Greece started soon. The Australian team, which had won one game, was obviously very eager to win, because they knew very well that only by winning this game could they take the initiative to qualify.

But an hour later, no one expected that the Greek team, which had lost two games in a row, would win the Australian team with a total score of 3 to 1 in this final game.

"The Australian team's tactical thinking is exposed by my rainbow light."

When Zeus won the second singles match, he said these words to Gorgias in front of the net.

It turned out that through the previous two games, Zeus had already figured out the Australian team's strength on the outside but weakness on the inside, and took advantage of the opponent's tactics and changed the formation.

In the lounge, when everyone saw the Greek team win, their expressions were full of surprise.

"I didn't expect that the Greek team would win..." Mifune Nyudo said thoughtfully, holding his chin.

This was a pleasant surprise, because when the Greek team won, the Japanese team automatically qualified.

In the next match against Switzerland, we will qualify regardless of win or loss.

If they win, they will be the top seed in Group B. If they lose, they will be the second seed based on the win-loss record.

"Even though we have already secured our place in the knockout rounds, we can't be careless in the upcoming games. Don't forget that our goal is to win the entire group!"

"Team Mei, follow me."

At this time, Byodoin stood up and spoke loudly with a majestic aura.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other members of Team Mei immediately walked out of the crowd and gathered around Byodoin. Then, under his leadership, they opened the door of the lounge and entered the passage leading to the stadium.

"The second match of the third round of Group B of the U17 World Cup, between the Japanese team and the Swiss team, is about to begin."

At the same time as Byodoin left, the announcement came out from the lounge's broadcast on time.

And within five minutes, members of Mei's team appeared on the big screen in the venue, standing in a line on one side of the tennis court.

"The second doubles match and the first doubles match will now begin. Please invite the players to come on court."

After the pre-match process was completed and the players from both teams settled in the preparation area, the referee announced the opening of the match in a timely manner.

Due to the special schedule of today's games, the first two doubles matches will start simultaneously on two courts.

The players on both sides responded and walked out to their respective courts.

The D2 matchup was between Mori Jusaburo & Ōmagari Ryuji and Switzerland's Peter Lambiel & Henri Noble III.

The D1 matchup is between Bunta Marui & Nagashiro Kite and the brotherly combination of Albert Federer & Randy Pugu.

The players of both games were now standing facing each other in front of the net.

War is imminent.
