The results of the lottery were announced soon, and after a while of confusion, the players in the first round went to warm up.
Sui Hou Yu and Hou Mo's opponents in the first match were not familiar to them. Judging by the school name and personal name, they were all unfamiliar. This team is not from the same province as them, so they have never played against each other.
Even during the training camp, this team was not in the same batch as them.
What attracted their attention to the opponent's team was that one of the players was 2.03 meters tall, 20 centimeters taller than Sui Houyu.
Their match is in the second round, and they can only play after the previous two pairs of players have competed.
This time the playing field is completely indoors, so as long as the coin toss is chosen correctly, Hou Mo will definitely choose to serve first.
Moreover, the auditorium of the venue is specially set up this time. There is a circle of soft sofas near the competition venue, where his coaches and teammates can sit and watch the competition up close.
Back to the player's position, you can still hear the coach's instructions.
In fact, it is good to be the first to play. If it is the second to play, the time for warming up is not easy to grasp.
Sometimes tennis is a protracted game. They don't know how long the first group will play. They often need to warm up repeatedly so that they can keep their muscles in the most perfect and awakened state when they play.
But Hou Mo is better in this aspect. He can analyze how long it will take them to finish the game by looking at the state and level of the first game, estimate a rough time, and then take Sui Hou Yu to warm up.
After warming up, I happened to be able to play.
After playing, the opponent chose the right choice when tossing a coin, so naturally he chose to serve first.
Hou Mo and Sui Hou Yu sat down to rest for a while after preparing the venue, and took a sip of water.
Sui Houyu glanced at the opposite side, and muttered in a low voice: "Is your body so tall and flexible?"
"Croatia also has a height of 2.08 meters? Try it when the time comes, and pay attention to adapting to the venue."
In the first game, they didn't even go to familiar people to understand their opponents.
According to Sui Houyu's fault, he doesn't pay attention to any kind of opponent. He only has a few targets. In Sui Houyu's eyes, this pair is not even an opponent, but a mob on the road to the big boss. .
Hou Mo is very adaptable, so he didn't waste that time.
Their most urgent task is to familiarize themselves with the venue.
This is an indoor court, and the ground is a plastic surface. They need to get familiar with the roughness of the court and its impact on the ball as soon as possible, so as to better complete the subsequent games.
When the match started, Suihou Yu had just stood up when he heard loud cheers. A group of people in the auditorium wore uniform clothes, held up banners, and shouted the names of Suihou Yu and Fengyu.
Sui Hou Yu glanced at it, and quickly looked away.
Ai Mengtian obviously doesn't know anything about tennis, but she formed a support club, which is Sui Hou Yu's exclusive cheerleading team, and will also cheer for other Fengyu players by the way.
But when there are two venues playing at the same time, Ai Mengtian will definitely bring people to watch Sui Houyu's game.
When Hou Yu entered the game, Ai Mengtian led a group of girls to cheer wildly. The effect was particularly shocking, and many people looked at them.
Ai Mengtian watched the provincial competition, and Sui Houyu was not surprised. He never thought that they would come to Chengdu for the competition.
It is estimated that they can only watch the first few games. The third year of high school will start early, starting on August 20, and the finals will be at the end of the month.
When the opponent served the ball for the second time, he hit Hou Mo in a chase.
The ball came straight to the crotch...
Hou Mo watched the ball jump up and raised his racket to block it. Although he hit the ball back, he didn't control the way of the ball well, and the return was somewhat embarrassing.
Fortunately, he kept his little brother.
After Hou Mo blocked the ball, he even heard laughter from his teammates, and the audience burst into laughter.
He didn't even know whether to praise the opponent's excellent landing control.
After failing to break serve in the first game, Hou Mo walked up to Sui Houyu and said, "The big man serves well, but his speed at the net is average, and his balls have little spin, and most of them are flat hits. How to deal with this kind of flat hits Don't move forward, move left and right, this will help to block the angle and make use of it."
"Yeah." Suihou Yu nodded while holding the tennis ball.
"You don't need to help me take revenge back, I didn't hit it." Hou Mo knew what kind of temper Suihou Yu had, so he quickly reminded him.
"Yeah." Another perfunctory answer.
Hou Mo could only go to the net to prepare, squatted down, and stood up after noticing that the tennis ball had passed the net, watching the ball go straight to the "2.03 meters" body.
That person was not as sensitive as Hou Mo, so he could only stand up with his racket in front of him. Because the body was in a half-squat state, and the impact force of the ball hit the racket, the racket hit the man's leg backwards.
The ball was blocked, but missed the net, fell to the ground and rolled off the field, where it was picked up by the ball boy.
Fortunately, he also kept his little brother.
Hou Mo looked at this scene, then looked back at Sui Houyu, and finally could only say: "Your landing control has improved."
Suihou Yu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "That is."
During the game, if the opposing player succeeds in keeping his serve, he will jump up and hit his opponent's butt, which is a simple celebration.
Sui Hou Yu was disturbed by Hou Mo's words in the morning, and was stunned for three seconds after seeing the actions of the two.
no
Probably not.
He must have thought too much...
In the first match, Sui Hou Yu and Hou Mo played with ease, and won the match without even fighting the third set, winning the match.
The two returned to their seats to pack their things. Hou Mo carried all the bags of the two of them by himself. He also took out a banana from the bag, peeled it off and handed it to Sui Houyu.
Sui Hou Yu reached out to take it, and walked towards the sidelines. Standing behind her teammates, she heard Su Anyi say, "The second round of lottery will also be held at 3 p.m.."
"Did He Shibi compete with them?" Sui Houyu had been thinking about going to see the match between these two people.
"The first game in the afternoon." Su Anyi naturally knew Sui Hou Yu's thoughts, and had already checked for him.
"Okay, I'm just going to take a look."
Hou Mo stood beside him and elbowed him. When he looked up, he realized that He Shibi and his partner were also sitting in the auditorium. They had just got up to leave, and they were chatting together when they left.
But I also knew that these two people were analyzing his and Hou Mo's style of play.
Coach Wang comforted them after getting up: "They also regard you as a key opponent."
At this time, Ai Mengtian and the other girls came over and said to Sui Houyu, "The hot pot here is really delicious, and it's really spicy."
Suihou Yu has already fasted to the point where he becomes greedy when he hears the word hot pot.
Hou Mo raised his hands to cover Sui Hou Yu's ears, and muttered like chanting: "Will you not listen to bastard's chanting."
Ai Mengtian immediately complained: "You are so annoying!"
In the afternoon, when Hou Yu and the others arrived at the competition venue, they needed to find an empty seat in the auditorium.
This is the advantage of having fewer spectators for youth competitions. Players can enter the venue unimpeded to watch the game, but sometimes they need to sit separately.
As soon as she was seated, Lu Yanxin took out a headband from her bag and said to Suihou Yu, "Brother Yu, bow your head."
Suihou Yu was very puzzled, but still bowed his head obediently.
After lowering his head, Lu Yanxin put the headband on him, and he raised his hand to touch it, it was a pair of cat ears.
Deng Yiheng looked back frequently and asked, "Why don't I have any presents?"
Lu Yanxin took a photo of Suihou Yu with his mobile phone, and at the same time replied: "You don't wear it well, look how it fits Brother Yu."
Hou Mo followed suit for a while, then leaned over to Sui Hou Yu and said, "Take a photo with us."
Lu Yanxin was particularly cooperative, taking a group photo of the two of them and then turning around.
After taking his seat, Hou Mo wanted to cross his legs, but unfortunately the gap between the seats was too narrow, so he could only sit in a proper manner, approached Sui Houyu and whispered: "He Shibi's partner is Chu You, and his singles performance is considered to be above average. , not particularly outstanding, the best result is the third in the country."
Sui Hou Yu turned his head and gave Hou Mo a blank look, and Hou Mo smiled at him: "Anyone that can't beat me is rubbish."
"Oh—" he nodded, "I never hit you before I joined the tennis team, am I trash too?"
"Tsk, don't turn over old accounts, we're talking about business."
He stopped talking and stared at the playing field.
Hou Mo commented while watching: "Chu You has a super strong forehand, and he is very good at seizing the opportunity to hit the space between the two opponents. His placement is very changeable, and he is an opportunist. And his partner fits him perfectly. , because He Shibi is the person who is best at creating opportunities for his teammates, cooperating silently, and even sacrificing his own shining points to praise his teammates."
"Like Tetsuya..."
"Um?"
"It's okay, you don't watch anime."
The two continued to watch the game and study, and the time passed unknowingly. It was not until Su Anyi came to inform them about the next game that they realized that part of the results of the second round of draws had been announced.
"The opponents are Jiang Wei and Lu Qinghui." Sitting beside them, Su Anyi said with a heavy tone.
Obviously this is not a lottery result that people like.
Sui Hou Yu and Hou Mo fell silent at the same time.
They thought that they would meet these two people in this competition, but they didn't expect to meet them so early.
He had only played one game, and he had just become familiar with the field before meeting a strong opponent.
After a while, Suihou Yu nodded: "Well, I see, what's the time?"
Su Anyi replied: "Around this evening, no earlier than 18:30."
It's two games a day, but fortunately, their opponents have also played one game, which is still fair.
Sui Hou Yu and Hou Mo looked at each other, Hou Mo still smiled: "I will teach them a lesson tonight."
"Lend me your hair tie."
"Okay." Hou Mo quickly understood what he meant.
This headband was the shame of Sui Hou Yu in the last match, and when he met again, he would wear this headband again as a warning to himself.
This time, you can't lose.
He Shibi and Chu You successfully won the match, and Sui Houyu also had a good time watching it.
They are really good.
This was the thought in Suihou Yu's head.
As for the tactical summary, that was Hou Mo's job.
After the game, Hou Yu and his friends went to meet his teammates who were warming up, and happened to meet He Shibi who came out.
He Shibi glanced at Suihou Yu and said, "The cat ears are quite cute."
Chu You followed his gaze and was speechless for a while: "Why do you always like weird things?"
He Shibi turned to look at Chu You, and replied unhappily: "Yes, I really like weird things."
Chu You: "..."
Suihou Yu: "???"
After the two left, he looked at Hou Mo and pointed to his headband: "Strange?"
"Don't pay attention to those stupid straight guys, they are so cute."
He reached out and took it off, no longer wearing it.
Hou Mo reached out and took the headband, and carefully put it into the bag: "Go back to the room and put it on."
Suihou Yu: "..."
Hou Mo is the one who likes strange things the most.
The game in the evening turned into a protracted game, and it was around 19:15 that the match between Sui Hou Yu and Hou Mo came.
The two entered the arena with their bags on their backs, and Hou Mo's headband was still tied on Sui Hou Yu's head, and his curly hair was tied on top of his head by the headband.
This time, Hou Yu used the racket given to him by Deng Yiheng and Shen Junjing. It was very flamboyant and bright gold, and he could notice it at a glance on the court.
On the opposite side were those two big men, who stood like two mountains on the edge of the field, and even came over to greet them. Lu Qinghui said with a smile: "This may be the last time we will fight each other in a short time."
As long as school has not started, Jiang Wei and Lu Qinghui can still participate in the youth competition.
After school starts, the two of them will be college students.
This is the last youth game between the two of them.
"It seems that this game is very important to you! Is it not good to lose?" Hou Mo asked quite annoyed with a sly smile on his face.
"That's right, so we will go all out." Lu Qinghui didn't care about Hou Mo's cheap talk, and answered frankly.
"We won't let you either, we must impress you on us."
"It's already very deep."
This sentence is true, Lu Qinghui and Jiang Wei were deeply impressed by the truth of their pair, and remembered it after a fight.
He is obviously a rookie, but he has a terrifying ability to grow, as well as a deterrent force on the field.
Like a beautiful and cold snake, spitting out its core at them, making them unable to breathe.
In the selection process of tossing coins on both sides, Hou Mo made the right choice.
Hou Mo chose to serve first.
Suihou Yu took the ball to the side of the field, took two shots and then looked towards the opposite side.
After throwing the tennis ball, he hit the gap between the two of them, with absolute speed and strength, as fast as lightning, passing by in a flash.
Jiang Wei and Lu Qinghui moved at the same time, but they could only look sideways at the ball passing in front of their eyes and flying out of the line.
ACE ball!
The speed is 210 kilometers per hour.
The audience is boiling.
This is undoubtedly a beautiful opening, with great momentum.
Lu Qinghui on the opposite side laughed while holding the racket: "It's funny that the little guy still has such a big temper."
Jiang Wei had a steady voice, a rare compliment: "I've made some progress."
Suihou Yu spoke to them for the first time today, raised his chin slightly, and said with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, "Don't let me down."
He regards them as powerful opponents, don't make the comparison too easy, or he will be disappointed.
He is not afraid that the opponent is too strong, what he is worried about is that the person he regards as the opponent will not be a qualified opponent in the end.
How arrogant is it to say such things to two veterans
But he spoke frankly.
Compared with the really good people, you will be happy when you win, isn't it
Lu Qinghui still smiled with a good temper, and seemed to find Sui Houyu very interesting.
Jiang Wei replied calmly: "Okay, we will accompany you to the end."
