Chapter 493: The Deformed Neon Team, the Unavoidable Result
Here at the Neon U-17 training camp.
On the training ground, the ground was repeatedly rubbed by tennis shoes, leaving traces of varying depths.
The protective nets around the court sparkled with metallic luster under the sunlight, as if silently witnessing the players' hard work and growth.
There are neatly placed tennis baskets on the side of the court, filled with brand new tennis balls. Each ball seems to be waiting to be hit by the rackets swung by the players, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
The situation in U-17 training camps around the world is basically similar. The Neon U-17 training camp has just experienced a fierce reshuffle.
After several days of fierce competition, the first-team high school players and the first-team junior high school players representing Japan were finally determined.
It is worth mentioning that the Neon U-17 team made full use of the maximum number of players stipulated by the International Tennis Association and the U-17 World Cup organizers in arranging the number of participants.
However, the personnel composition of this team has some unique "abnormalities".
If you look closely, you will find that all the high school players on the team are local players from Japan.
In sharp contrast, all the junior high school players of the Neon U-17 team are not local players, but a team of junior high school players from the Nibelungen Tennis Club led by Adam.
Compared with the original work, the current Neon U-17 team has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The familiar faces and groups are gone, replaced by a brand new team.
However, as analyzed in other U-17 training camps, this team not only did not lose strength due to the departure of elite high school players, but at the level of regular players, there is a trend of further improvement.
Of course, this progress does not involve those players in the team who are at the top level and whose strength can be said to be at the ceiling level.
They are like a mysterious force hidden in the clouds. Once they erupt, no one will be able to stop them. But at this moment, this team is showing a unique potential in the growth and development of regular players.
All of this is largely due to the cramming one-on-one training adopted by the Neon U-17 training camp.
In each venue of the training camp, you can see coaches and players conducting one-on-one training.
The coaches are like strict mentors, always paying attention to every move and every detail of the players.
They will repeatedly correct the players for a wrong move, and will also smile with satisfaction when the players make a wonderful shot.
Under this high-intensity training, the players constantly challenge their limits and improve their technical level.
“Inhale…exhale…”
Saito stood in the monitoring room, watching the people who were still practicing hard through the monitor screen. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the best way for us to benefit?"
In the monitoring room, indicator lights on various devices were flashing, and the screens clearly displayed images of various training grounds.
Saito Shi's eyes swept across the screen one by one, looking at the players fighting hard on the court, his heart was filled with emotion.
"indeed."
Kurobe Yukio nodded in agreement, he raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing confidence and determination.
"Compared to other national teams, we have the largest number of players."
"But after all, this is within the rules. We can't control what other teams do, but we have to make use of this rule!"
Kurobe Yukio's voice echoed in the monitoring room. He didn't care at all whether such an action would be laughed at by other national teams.
In his mind, as long as he can shine in this U-17 World Cup, what does all the criticism matter?
He is like a determined strategist who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
"Although the junior high school players are not local players, some of them have even played for Korea U-17 before."
Takushi Ryuji frowned slightly, but his eyes sparkled with admiration as he continued, "However, as expected of a player from the Nibelungen Tennis Club, one of the top three largest tennis clubs in the world, his quality and talent are truly amazing."
As Takushi Ryuji spoke, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He recalled the scene when he first met these players. Their performance on the court made him see the future stars of the tennis world.
"But, after all, I'm still a little behind those young men."
Kurobe Yukio shook his head slightly, a look of loss on his face.
"Talent is not something that can be nurtured through systematic elite training."
"Also, Adam doesn't seem to be playing for the Nibelungen Tennis Club or our Neon U-17 training camp."
"As for what his real purpose is, it is indeed thought-provoking."
Kurobe Yukio looked into the distance, as if he wanted to penetrate the walls and see into Adam's inner world.
He knew that although these players were gifted, they still lacked something in some aspects that was difficult to describe, which might be the so-called "talent".
In fact, what Kurobe Yukio said is correct.
If he really had to choose between Kitagawa and his team and the players of the Nibelungen Tennis Club, he would definitely choose the former without hesitation.
He still remembers the unique temperament and tacit understanding of Beichuan and his teammates on the court, which was a team spirit formed after a long period of running-in and common growth.
Unfortunately, he was not the one to answer this multiple-choice question. The gears of fate had already started turning, and he could only accept it all.
"Pity......"
Kurobe Yukio murmured to himself, "If we can win over the youngster from Kitagawa, we might be able to make a strong run at this year's U-17 World Cup. Even a top-four finish might not be a dream."
His voice was full of regret and anticipation, as if he saw a glorious future that could have been realized.
After hearing what Kurobe Yukio said, Saito Shi was also quite lonely.
There was a hint of helplessness and loss in his eyes, and he sighed softly.
Obviously, they also knew the news about the Swiss U-17.
At first, when they learned that Kitagawa was able to defeat Alexander Amadeus, the captain of the Swiss U-17 team, they were all extremely surprised.
It was shocking news, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in their hearts.
But then I thought about it and found it acceptable.
