Chapter 401 The Draw Begins, Ishikawa's Goal

At night.

In a large business venue in Melbourne.

The strong men carrying the cameras were constantly looking for the right lens. Behind the curtain in the center of the stage, a middle-aged man with sleek hair was memorizing the manuscript repeatedly.

Not long after.

A group of teenagers in suits entered the venue in an orderly manner.

Under the dim light, it was difficult to see the faces of these people. However, the highly professional reporters and photographers were able to accurately find the famous players.

"hiss?"

soon.

Someone's eyes were focused on a tall and tall figure like an iron tower in the venue.

"This person's height is definitely over two meters, right?"

For a while.

The cameras of many reporters turned to the expressionless young man.

"Forehead."

Facing the suddenly raised camera, Yue Zhi, who was wearing a light blue suit, looked a little stiff. Lowering his head, he glanced at the boy next to him with dissatisfaction: "I told you, I'm not suitable for such an occasion."

"it does not matter."

In response, Ishikawa, who was wearing a light black suit, smiled and said: "With the strength of my predecessor, I will definitely attend such occasions more often in the future. Starting now is better than doing it later, isn't it?"

"forgive me."

Yue Zhi shook his head gently. At this moment, he suddenly understood Daqu's mood.

"Speak."

Ishikawa looked around, with a little sparkle in his eyes: "Senior, can you identify among these people any generals from various countries?"

"Well."

Hearing this, Yue Zhi's eyes narrowed.

When it came to business, he quickly observed the surrounding situation and nodded: "Indeed, the generals from all countries are basically here."

As he spoke, he stared at a young man with dark skin and neatly combed dreadlocks in the distance: "Alexander Amadeus, the leader of the Swiss team, is an active professional player with very powerful skills."

"As for the boy next to him."

"Henry Noble III."

At this time, Ishikawa next to him suddenly smiled and said: "Very talented players are called the geniuses of Switzerland. Sure enough, the leaders of these teams have brought out the talents in the team to the world."

"Forehead."

Hearing this, Yue Zhi's tense face began to twitch subconsciously.

Okay.

Others are high school seniors and junior high school juniors, and the seniors bring the juniors out to experience the big scene. As a result, he was treated like a bodyguard by a freshman in junior high school and brought here to support the scene.

If Ishikawa hadn't been the team leader, and Mifune had agreed to Ishikawa's proposal, Ochi would never have wanted to attend such a gathering.

That's right.

This event was more like a party than a lottery ceremony.

Those present were all the most elite players from each country. Sitting in the surrounding positions were many with excellent eyesight, representing scouts from various tennis clubs.

To some extent.

This can also be regarded as a talent show.

Let those capital tennis clubs, or professional tennis agencies with ambitions to train professional players, choose the people they think are suitable.

If it weren't for Oozhi's exaggerated height, the two of them would not have received so much attention.

but.

As Ishikawa said.

If you outsmart yourself, you must continue on the road of tennis in the future. Now, it is also a very good training opportunity.

Immediately.

His heart moved.

Start actively observing the more powerful players around you.

the other side.

People from other teams also noticed Ochi and Ishikawa.

"That's a player from the Japanese team?"

In the direction of the Swiss team, Amadeus frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, General Alexander!"

Henry looked over in confusion: "If I remember correctly, the current ranking of the Japanese team cannot even reach the top twenty, right?"

"It has nothing to do with points ranking."

Amadeus waved his hand, but deep in his eyes, there was a flash of thought.

"That guy didn't even show up. It seems that the rumors are true. A big change has happened on Japan's U17 side."

Thinking of that person, Amadeus' heart suddenly became solemn. He knew very well that that person was very powerful. If there were really players in the Japanese team who could overthrow the opponent's dominance, it would indeed be a situation that needed to be taken seriously.

"Everyone, welcome to the drawing ceremony before this warm-up match. I am the host Martin."

"I'm Denise."

Center stage.

The middle-aged host and the blonde model introduced themselves.

"Now, the drawing ceremony will officially begin."

"First one, the German team."

After Martin finished speaking, he saw the spotlight falling somewhere in the audience. Then, it was reflected back by a shiny bald head.

"That person is"

When they saw the young man wearing a black suit under the light, with a thin face but extremely sharp eyes, everyone was refreshed.

Jurgen Barisavage Polk!

Among high school players, there are current professional players. Moreover, compared with Amadeus, who is also a professional player, Polk has an undefeated record after turning professional.

Even more exaggerated.

At the German Open that ended not long ago, Polk even defeated Novak Brenner, the world's number one active professional player.

He is recognized as the strongest among high school students.

Moreover, at such an age, he has already created a world record-like terrifying existence.

It can be said.

Polk is the German team that is running for ten consecutive championships this year, and has the greatest confidence!

"Q·P, go ahead."

but.

To everyone's surprise, Polk did not choose to go on stage, but turned his head and looked at the young man next to him.

"I see."

Q·P, who had a calm temperament, nodded slightly, stood up, and walked towards the court.

"It's him."

"That talented player called Quality of Perfect!"

"Yes, that's him. He is recognized within the German team as the most outstanding product trained by the German elite training camp!"

For a time, countless people were moved.

"Hey, Chengfu."

In the crowd, Kim Taiyu, the No. 2 member of the South Korean team, turned his head and looked at the expressionless purple-haired young man next to him: "Is this the guy who beat you to a pulp? Indeed, he looks very extraordinary!"

"You do not understand."

With his eyes fixed on Q·P, Li Chengfu said solemnly: "His power cannot be described in words at all. To a certain extent, he is a more dangerous existence than Polk!"

"So strong?"

Jin Taiyu was also shocked.

Immediately, he thought of what he had experienced yesterday, and his eyes quickly searched nearby, and soon locked on the calm-looking black-haired boy next to Yuezhi.

"So...compared to that Ishikawa, which one is stronger?"

"Well!"

When he heard the word 'Ishikawa', Li Chengfu's pupils suddenly shrank and his back straightened up. Like a hunting beast, he subconsciously entered the state.

"I have no idea."

Li Chengfu shook his head.

This was his true words, because both Ishikawa and Q·P's own strength was completely beyond the scope of his understanding.

"Forget it, as long as we don't draw these two teams."

Jin Taiyu shook his head.

Whether it is the German team, which has completed its ninth consecutive championship, or the Japanese team, which may become a super dark horse this year, they are not able to fight against it.

At this time.

The results of the draw are out.

After Q·P pressed the start button, the lottery machine started spinning. Finally, a number 6 appeared in front of everyone.

"number 6?"

"Very good, as long as you don't draw number 5!"

"That's right, even the other three teams in the Big 4 will do, please!"

after.

Representatives of each team who were called came to the stage to draw lots. But none of them could draw the ball with the number '5'.

"Next. Team Japan."

At this time.

The male host spoke, and the light immediately fell on Yue Zhi, who was extremely tall in the corner.

"Hey, that's a player from the Japanese team. Isn't his height too exaggerated?"

"For such a tall player, the serve must be very strong. I don't know what number they will draw."

"The Japanese team is not ranked high, so I hope they can draw us."

Everyone whispered.

And among the crowd, several eyes fell on Yue Zhi.

"Well, this is the first time I've seen someone taller than Dudu among high school students."

On the American team side, the feminine-looking Balentin said in surprise.

"Eh?"

"Ralph?"

After receiving no response from his general, Balentin turned his head, only to find that Reinhard's eyes were not looking at Oozhi, but seemed to be locked on the black-haired boy next to him.

"Who is this person?"

Balentin frowned slightly.

But what surprised him and even the players from other countries next to him was that the young man with terrifying height turned his attention to the black-haired boy next to him.

It seems that the other party is the real leader of the Japanese team.

"That tall guy is a high school student from the Japanese team, right? Is he planning to arrange for his own junior high school student to take the stage?"

Balentin said to himself.

"you are wrong."

At this time, Reinhardt's voice suddenly sounded next to him: "The real person in charge of the Japanese team is this boy. He is the strongest player in the Japanese team now!"

"The strongest?"

On the side of the German team, Polk said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this year's Japanese team also has top talents with outstanding talents."

He did not doubt Q·P's words.

Because as a staff member of the German team, the judgment he made from the first day of entering the German U17 team has never been wrong.

"He is really not simple."

Q·P squinted his eyes and said: "Based on the available data, it is estimated that his strength is probably close to the professional level!"

"oh?"

moment.

Polk opened his eyes wide and shone with light.

Professional level!

This adjective is very rare even in the field of high school students. As far as singles is concerned, except for him who has turned professional and Amadeus of the Swiss team, there may not be more than 3 other big4 players.

In addition to the big4, the main players of other teams, as well as Q·P next to them. Among all the high school students, there are probably only seven or eight who can truly be called professional players.

And Ishikawa's identity seems to be that of a junior high school student.

Thinking of this, even Polk couldn't help but sigh: "Such talent is more surprising than the captain of the Greek team."

At this time.

On the Japanese team, Ochi finally stood up. Under the attention of everyone, he walked to the center of the stage without humility and pressed the start button very calmly.

Clatter.

The few remaining balls in the huge drum kept spinning.

Snap.

Finally.

One of the balls rolled out.

"This is."

The host who was responsible for maintaining the atmosphere next to him picked up the ball and was stunned when he saw the number on it.

Then.

When he looked at the young man next to him who looked like an iron tower, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

"So, the number drawn by the Japanese team is."

Take a deep breath, the middle-aged man showed his exaggerated state as much as possible, and with the most appetizing tone, he set off the atmosphere to the climax.

"No. 5!"

Wow! ! !

For a while.

The entire venue of the draw was boiling.

Even the cold-hearted Ochi's eyes trembled subconsciously.

"Germany?"

Ochi's heart sank.

Even though his mental strength was very strong, he felt his own weakness when he thought of the giant that had completed the World Cup nine consecutive championships and was heading for the goal of ten consecutive championships.

Take a deep breath.

He walked back to his seat amid countless pitying and teasing eyes beside him.

"Sorry."

Ochi, who has always been indifferent, took the initiative to say: "My problem is that I drew the worst lot."

The German team is an existence that other big4 teams must treat as a formidable enemy.

Facing such a team in the warm-up match, Ochi was very worried that the players in the team who were not determined enough would suffer a heavy blow.

"Senior, you are wrong."

However

Unlike Ochi's worries, Ishikawa showed a faint smile on his face: "This is not a bad lot, but a good lot."

"Huh?"

Ochi was stunned when he heard it.

If he didn't know Ishikawa's character and strength, he would probably think that he was crazy.

That's the German team!

The strongest in the world, the terrifying existence of the u17 team leading by a cliff!

He couldn't think of anything to be happy about in tomorrow's game.

"Senior Ochi, let me say..."

At this time.

Ishikawa turned his head and smiled at him and said, "Do you know why I asked you to draw this lot?"

"It's very simple."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Ishikawa smiled and said, "Because you have confirmed that you will play in tomorrow's warm-up match."

"Huh?"

Hearing this.

Ochi's pupils suddenly shrank.

In other words, the person who will face the behemoth of the German team tomorrow is actually himself?

But no matter how you look at it, this is not a good lot, right? !

"Wait!!"

Suddenly, Ochi looked at the black-haired boy in front of him, and a very bold and absurd idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"His goal was the German team from the beginning?!"
