Prince of Tennis: Start by replicating your talent

Nanchuan did not relax his vigilance after scoring this goal, but he still managed to force a smile:

"Oh, you're so slow to react? You just realized it now?"

This is how you play!

I have merely evolved a second time, increasing my speed and strength, allowing my body to accumulate energy for an explosive burst.

"Atobe, you can't win!"

When Tezuka jumped up, Nanchuan had also run to the prediction point. He was now very familiar with Tezuka's basic playing style and made a prediction in advance.

"Damn it, why is he there?"

When Atobe attacked, he found that Nanchuan had already jumped up, almost in sync with him.

boom!

"4-6, it's over, Atobe, you lose."

When the tennis ball hit Atobe's feet and bounced out, Nanchuan reported the point himself, and without any physical support, he knelt on the ground with his hands, and turned over and lay down, sweating profusely.

"I won."

He took big gulps of fresh air and cursed his poor physical fitness before he lost consciousness. He decided to go back and start his hellish training.

Everyone else looked on in astonishment.

After landing, Tezuka stood still, stunned for several seconds. He looked at Nanchuan who was lying opposite him with a smile on his face, and finally his expression of disbelief turned into one of admiration and interest.

"The last ball just now was a clean half-volley shot. Although his playing style looked awkward, he got the speed, strength and timing of the shot just right. His jumping ability was also unexpected. He is obviously a little smaller than me. This kid is a potential player and must join our Hyotei!" This is why Atobe is interested.

"Hey, you're not bad. There aren't many people your age who can beat me. I didn't know there are players like you in the country. I take back what I said before that domestic tennis is boring. You can join our tennis club."

Nanchuan, who lost consciousness briefly, soon woke up in a daze. Someone came over and gave him a bottle of water, and he finally didn't feel so uncomfortable.

As soon as he regained some consciousness, he heard what Atobe said. He laughed and said, "Atobe, I thought you were going to say you would seek revenge on me."

I remember that in the plot, he regarded Tezuka Kunimitsu as his nemesis.

This guy keeps talking about his tennis club, even though school hasn't started yet and he hasn't joined yet! It really is amazing to be rich.

Atobe: "Humph, I have a big picture. You are here to join our tennis club, not our opponent."

Nanchuan stood up with difficulty: "You just returned to China. There are more masters in Japan than you think. I advise you to continue to improve and evolve yourself steadily, otherwise you will be eliminated sooner or later."

He was exhausted and just wanted to go back and have a good sleep, so he didn't argue with Atobe, but reminded him directly:

"Atobe, you lost, so please execute the bet."

Atobe took the towel handed to him by the butler and wiped his face roughly. He hummed:

"I remember, no need for you to remind me, get in the car, I can take you home, future team member."

He pointed at his luxury car and got in. Nanchuan thought that this kid probably didn't want others to see him lose in the football bet. This kind of young master cares most about his face, so Nanchuan got in the car without hesitation.

The car drove slowly out of the school.

"I will fulfill the bet. Not only that, my Jibu Group can also waive your tuition."

"reason?"

"What's your name?"

"Nanchuan."

"Nanchuan, join me, join Hyotei, we will form a Hyotei tennis team. Starting this year, we will not only make it to the nationals, but also win the national championship. By the way, I'm talking about the three consecutive national championships."

When Atobe said this, his eyes were full of passion, enthusiasm, expectation, and unignorable self-confidence. He was ambitious at such a young age.

This confidence deeply infected Nanchuan.

He smiled and said, "I was originally going to join Hyotei. You don't need to tell me that this is my goal."

"That's good. As long as you join my team, we will be good friends! And also rivals! Your performance today really surprised me, but I will fight back in the future."

Nanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Okay, playing tennis is to compete with the strong. Atobe, if you don't make any progress, I will be too lazy to play with you. Next time, please show your trump card."

Atobe: "Damn it, I find you quite annoying. You are even more arrogant than me!"

After returning home, Nanchuan shouted excitedly: "Brother! I'm back! And I beat that Atobe today. This arrogant guy was defeated by me!"

He said this while taking off his shoes, but he didn't get much of a response.

When he looked up, he saw his brother Beichuan and another person standing in front of him.

Chapter 9 Personal Training

Nanchuan didn’t know the person his brother brought.

But he looks like a member of their basketball team. He has short light blue hair, is tall, sunny and handsome, and has the temperament and aura of a basketball player.

"elder brother."

"Well, let me introduce you to a new friend of mine, Taizo Shiba, also known as San Ge. He was also on the tennis team before, but later joined the basketball team. You don't like my poor tennis skills, so I'll find someone to practice with you."

As soon as Beichuan finished speaking, the tall boy greeted Nanchuan enthusiastically:

"Hello little brother, I'm your brother's friend, I'll call you Xiaonan, I'm glad I can play ball with you in the future."

Nanchuan frowned, looked up and asked:

"Third brother?"

Good man, you are taking advantage of the name, right?

"Yes, I also call him Third Brother. He is one grade higher than me." Beichuan nodded.

Nanchuan: "That third brother is on the basketball team, and he's a freshman in high school. How come he has time to practice with me?"

Zhi Taizo explained himself: "Actually, your brother's original intention was to ask me to plan a systematic physical training for you. I have coached a tennis team before, and I know how to train in a targeted manner. This is the main thing. Your brother is just stubborn and doesn't want to talk properly."

"Okay, thank you, Third Brother."

Nanchuan nodded in agreement. His brother was like that. He usually looked very arrogant. His arrogant remarks might be influenced by him.

But in fact he is very attentive and takes care of his younger brother in every possible way.

He probably just wanted this Shiba Taizo to be his coach, mainly for physical training.

It's no wonder that Shiba Taizo is in good shape now, so he probably really understands it. Nanchuan doesn't want to think too much about it. Anyway, it's great that there's someone capable to teach him.

but...

"Brother, do you need to pay for private tutoring?" he whispered in his brother's ear.

Beichuan glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business. By the way, you just said that you defeated that chaebol young master?"

At this point, Nanchuan raised his head and smiled proudly at him: "Yes, I said I must beat him, and I did it, but I was too tired, and it was very close to defeating him."

He told Kitagawa and Shiba Taizo about the whole process of the game.

After listening to this, the two of them remained silent. After a while, Zhi Taisan said:

"Not bad. Your ability is much better than your brother's evaluation. You are a natural tennis player. It seems that I don't need to teach you much. Just focus on your physical training. After all, in terms of tennis playing skills, I am actually just an amateur."

It was because I later found that I was more suited to playing basketball that I left the tennis club, and I had already wasted a lot of time.

Nanchuan looked very proud.

Beichuan poured cold water on him and reminded Nanchuan seriously:

"Xiao Nan, I'm not denying you, but you should also see the facts clearly. This Atobe Keigo didn't actually show his full strength. He also promised to cover your tuition because he saw your potential. If you can't lead the team to enter the national level in the future, I don't think this chaebol young master will really appreciate you."

He did not feel ashamed that his younger brother was sponsored by a tycoon for his studies. He relied on his own strength to earn the sponsorship for his studies and living, and for him, his younger brother gave him a sense of pride.

But he was also worried that his brother would become complacent after winning a game and unexpectedly receiving funding, and stop there.

Nanchuan hummed:

"Brother, I know my limits and I know that Atobe hasn't revealed all his cards yet. He has only played basic tennis with me. He doesn't really care about the money. He just wants to see my strength and potential. He wants to recruit high-quality players for his next tennis team."

Of course he had thought about these things.

"And I don't play tennis for anyone else. First of all, it's for my own victory. My goal is to build my own reputation and win my own championship. In a team, I will naturally try my best. I love tennis very much!"

Beichuan finally smiled: "That's fine, okay, let's start from tomorrow, Third Brother will take time to come and train with you."

Zhi Taizo nodded, then took out a document from his bag: "Xiaonan, this is a basic physical training plan I made for you based on some information about your brother. If I don't have time to come over, you can practice on your own."

Nanchuan took it and looked at it for a few seconds. It looked quite professional. He nodded:

"I understand. Thank you, Third Brother."

In fact, Taizo Shiba was only willing to come and help out of his friend's request and admiration for a boy who loves tennis.

But usually I spend most of my time taking care of my tennis training.

In the first few days, he only came twice.

However, on these two occasions he pointed out some deficiencies and mistakes in Nanchuan's usual training, making Nanchuan's training more standardized, scientific and systematic.

After such a period of time, Nanchuan, who worked hard every day, clearly felt that his physical fitness had been greatly improved.

For example, he used to be out of breath after running 5 kilometers and had to stop and start, but now he can finish the run in one breath.

For example, because he previously replicated Atobe's playing style but required his jumping ability, he could only jump a few times before he could no longer jump to catch the ball. Now, he can jump back to hit the high ball for three consecutive games without losing his strength quickly.

Nanchuan finally understood why his brother spent so much effort to make a new friend and successfully persuaded him to come and help him with physical training.

This Zhi Taizo is really something.

"Okay, starting today, focus on training your endurance."

After more than a week of hellish training, Zhi Taisan was very satisfied with Nanchuan's hard work. He took out another document, which was a plan for endurance training.

This is also one of Nanchuan’s shortcomings.

Nanchuan wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Okay, I understand."

Taizo Shiba: "Not only that, but also daily training on swinging the racket, hitting the ball, dynamic vision, and concentration training. All of these must be taken into consideration."

He took out another document and handed it to Nanchuan.

Nanchuan exclaimed: "Third brother, are you not coming? Why are you giving me so many plans at once?"

Zhi Taizo smiled and said, "It's like this. I have a competition recently, and school is about to start. I have a lot of things to do. The important thing is that you are very self-disciplined. It doesn't matter if you don't supervise me. I just need to point out a few points to you next time I come to play with you."

This evaluation is quite high.

Nanchuan accepted it without any modesty.

"By the way, Xiaonan, you can go to the club to have your five dimensions evaluated, so that you can have a more targeted training plan and have a clearer understanding of your physical fitness."

Chapter 10 The Fifth Dimension

As school was about to start, Nanchuan went to the tennis club and had a very professional evaluation of his five dimensions according to what Shiba Taizo had said.

His innate golden finger did not give him any five-dimensional value, so he really needed to find someone to help confirm it for him.

The owner of the club was once a tennis player. After retiring, he opened his own club, which caters to ordinary tennis enthusiasts like them.

"Boy, your five dimensions are quite high. You are qualified and above your peers. You are excellent!"

The boss and coach praised Nanchuan and gave him a thumbs up.

"You are a potential player that I have rarely seen in the past two years. You are also very explosive. Not only do you have explosive power, but you can also be stable. Boy, has your basic tennis evolved rapidly during this period of time?"

The evaluation is very high and it hits the nail on the head.

Nanchuan asked back: "What do you mean, boss?"

"Just tell me, have you just started practicing tennis recently?"

"Yes, boss. I just started playing tennis in the past month or so."

Nanchuan thought that the old hand had a sharp eye, and it was also obvious that he had only recently started to get involved in tennis.

"Half a month?" The boss showed a very shocked expression on his face, with a hint of doubt: "Are you kidding?"

He suspected that the child in front of him was lying.
