Chapter 431 Preparations of All Parties, the Upcoming Second Game
Outskirts of Melbourne.
A residential area by the sea somewhere.
At this time, a young man wearing a light gray coat was jogging along the coast. It was none other than Atobe.
Unlike Shiraishi, Atobe doesn't have that much anxiety.
only.
He was used to being free, but he didn't like the atmosphere in the hotel. So, after getting Mifune's permission, he went for a walk on the beach alone.
At first, he felt a little comfortable. But when the figures of Tezuka, Yukimura and others appeared in Atobe's mind, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He has never been a person who is willing to be inferior to others, so that's it for a monster like Ishikawa. Yukimura and Tezuka have always been the ones Atobe wanted to surpass.
Think of this.
He started jogging.
After passing the pier, I unknowingly arrived at the interior of a residential area.
"Oh? Are there any guests?"
At this time.
A young boy's surprised voice rang out from a certain courtyard where the door was ajar.
"Um?"
Atobe stopped and turned his head to look inside. Immediately, he looked into each other's eyes.
"this person"
Looking at the blue-haired white boy in front of him, Atobe couldn't help but wonder for some reason: "Is there something wrong with his eyesight?"
now.
In the eyes of the blue-haired boy, there was no trace of glossy feedback.
"Wait, is that chess? He's playing it with himself?"
Atobe was surprised.
He had a hunch in his heart that the young man in front of him might not be a simple person.
At this time, the blue-haired boy, Noah Gorgias, seemed to have seen through Atobe's thoughts and suddenly said: "Friend, are you interested in playing chess?"
"If you are interested, you can come in and have some fun."
Noah smiled and said, "I haven't played chess with anyone else for a long time."
"good."
Atobe nodded, and after entering the courtyard, he walked straight to the stone table where chess was played and sat in front of the opponent.
"Needless to say the rules, best of three."
Noah stretched out his hand very politely and signaled Atobu to go first: "The visitor is a guest, and I ask the guest to start first."
"Then I won't be polite."
Atobe did not refuse, but picked up a chess piece and threw himself into the chess game. The chess piece fell, and Atobu reported the position of the chess piece.
Subsequently.
Noah responded.
The two entered into a deep game.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The mentality of the two of them also changed from being indifferent at the beginning to becoming serious.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful chess player in a place like this."
Three games of chess were played.
The two of them won one and lost, and this final duel ended in a stalemate.
"That's it."
Finally, it was Noah who spoke: "I have already experienced your level, so I won't waste your time."
"You are very good at chess."
Atobe also nodded and said: "If we have time, let's play another game."
Finished.
He got up and left.
"Um?"
Just at this time, a young man with a Dalmatian dog on his leash and his hair cut into an Australian flag star pattern walked into the yard.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and each felt a vague pressure from the other's body.
Gorgias instinctively wanted to get angry.
However, he quickly thought of Noah. Knowing that no one else can enter this yard without the other party's permission.
"Representative of the Australian team?"
Atobe saw the coat that represented the other party's identity. Gorgias carefully observed Atobe's appearance, and both of them were attracted by the details shown by the other.
After looking at each other.
The two of them had some kind of subtle feeling. But they didn't think much about it, but quickly looked away and passed by.
"Noah!"
After Atobu left, Gorgias stepped forward quickly and asked his brother: "Who was that person just now? He didn't do anything to you, right?"
Because his brother was visually impaired, Gorgias was most worried about him. Afraid that the other person will be bullied.
"He? He's a friend, maybe."
Feeling his brother's eagerness, Noah smiled and said: "His chess skills are very good. He beat me in one game even when I played at 70% of my level."
"oh?"
Gorgias was quite surprised.
He knew Noah's chess prowess. He was already a top-notch talented player, with top-notch intelligence. He could quickly understand many tactics, routines, and other people's moves, and he could even imitate them easily.
After becoming blind, Noah regarded chess as his only form of entertainment.
In this case, his chess ability can be said to have reached the level of a master. To be able to win a game at 70% of his level shows that the person just now is indeed extraordinary.
Think of this.
Gorgias also relaxed.
Noah didn’t have many friends, and after he lost his sight, his former playmates also cut off contact. Apart from Gorgias and the Dalmatian Koala, he has no other friends.
As an older brother, Gorgias was naturally happy to see his younger brother have many friends.
"elder brother."
At this time, Noah restored the chessboard, looked up and said with a smile: "You don't seem to have come back early just for this matter, right?"
"Um."
Gorgias nodded: "The result of the match against the Greek team was as you predicted. We won easily. So, I think the next match against the Japanese team will be..."
"oh?"
Noah couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "This is not like your character, brother. According to my prediction, you should be at Senior Fitzgerald's place now. You must have other things to come back so early. ?”
Hear the words.
Gorgias blushed.
Because according to his character, he would indeed show off in front of the Australian team captain and other representatives at this moment. At the same time, he mocked those who looked down upon the tactical plan he proposed before this game.
"Indeed. There is a problem."
After thinking for a while, Gorgias said, "I would like to ask, what are your specific arrangements for tomorrow's game?"
"Tomorrow's opponents are the Japanese team and the Swiss team."
Noah said: "Our tactics are very simple. Give up the competition with the Swiss team and focus on the match with the Japanese team. As long as we win two wins, we will be able to qualify stably."
His tactics are the same as those of the Greek team Zeus.
For the Swiss team, which is ranked second in the world and has genuine professional players as its leader, they try to avoid its edge as much as possible.
It's easy to say.
Just like horse racing, the best is against the middle, the middle is against the lower, and the lower is against the better. According to Noah's plan, after defeating the Japanese team, the Australian team will be able to qualify stably.
At the same time, his brother will also become a hero in the hearts of Australian U17 and even fans across the country.
"I'm afraid the Japanese team is not that simple, right?"
But what was surprising was that Gorgias frowned and asked: "I heard that their general defeated the German team with perfect qualities! Moreover, Zeus of the Greek team also lost in the game just now. To their other squad leader!"
Zeus lost?
Noah was a little surprised.
He has also heard of this person's name. At the beginning, Noah was favored by others, and was even called by some people the next Zeus of the Greek team.
Such a long time passed.
With Zeus's talent, he may have substantially entered the professional level. And the Japanese team actually won 3-0 against the Greek team without the captain taking any action?
"Sure enough, they are the super dark horses in this competition."
Noah nodded, and then said: "However, if I guess correctly, the goal of the Japanese team leader is not the Australian team."
"Not Australia. Wait?"
Suddenly.
Gorgias reacted, widened his eyes and said, "Is he preparing to defeat Amadeus of the Swiss team?!"
"But."
Speaking of this, he frowned again: "We can't place our hopes on the opponent's tactics, right? What if the Japanese team's tactics are the same as ours?"
"Nothing unexpected."
Noah said with a serious face: "This is the only way we can win. Facing the strong, we can only concentrate our superior strength as much as possible to have a chance of winning!"
Strong?
Weak?
Gorgias was slightly shaken.
In his original concept, the Swiss team was the first-tier team. After all, it was the second-largest team in the world and a strong team at the Big 4 level. But the second tier is undoubtedly the Greek team and the Australian team.
Especially after the Australian team defeated the Greek team just now, basically following Noah's script, Gorgias was even more confident.
It was just the appearance of Zeus that disrupted his mood. But in his heart, he still does not regard teams like Japan as opponents on the same level as them.
At best, it is only a threat to the Australian team.
but now.
Noah directly exposed his fantasy and revealed the true situation of the four teams in Group B.
The Swiss team and the Japanese team are the real strong teams.
The Greek team and the Australian team are the weak ones who need to try their best to survive in the chaos.
"elder brother."
Noah picked up the chess pieces in his hand, placed them completely in place, and suddenly smiled: "Go and talk to Senior Fitzgerald and the others. I believe you can do it."
"I"
Gorgias instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, when Zeus's terrifying eyes appeared in his mind, his pupils quietly shrank.
yes.
Even if such a powerful person loses, what reason does he have to continue to maintain an arrogant attitude.
Take a deep breath.
Gorgias nodded heavily and said: "I know, Noah, I will never let you down!"
Finished.
He tied the dog leash, picked up the racket and walked outside.
Vaguely, Noah couldn't help but laugh as he watched the silhouette of his brother disappear. He knew that he had at least a 40% chance of winning tomorrow's game.
"Shin Ishikawa"
Taking a breath, Noah showed a somewhat disappointed and melancholy expression on his face: "I really hope I can have a real match with a player like you!"
boom!
the other side.
In the hotel where the Japanese team stayed, in the special indoor tennis court, a red-haired boy flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the wall heavily.
"Kintaro!!!"
Outside the stadium, Shitenhoji's Kenya Ninzu, Golden Koharu and others exclaimed. Ishida Gin among the few people also showed a worried expression.
"Cough, cough, cough"
In the smoke, Yuanshan coughed lightly. Then, the boy knelt on one knee, holding the racket with the other hand to maintain his balance.
"Good, such a strong force."
Yuanshan panted heavily, raised his head and glanced at the black-haired boy opposite him, his eyes full of awe.
Opposite.
Ishikawa, who only used his normal strength, easily cracked Yuanshan's flawless. Even the dimension with super gravity could not play any role.
"He is too strong."
On the side of the court, the white-skinned fat man Duke couldn't help saying: "It's just the most basic tennis, but it exerts such a powerful power. Is this the ultimate form of basic tennis?"
"It's not that simple."
The Byodoin next to him narrowed his eyes: "He used some special ability to make the simple basic style of play gain extraordinary power. This style is a bit like."
Speaking of this, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
"Perfect quality."
At this time, a rude voice sounded behind him. The two turned their heads and saw Mifune, who was wearing a coarse vest, walking aside.
Perfect quality? !
Hearing Mifune's words, Byodoin and Duke looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
You know, this is the tennis style of the German team's No. 2. It requires not only strong strength, but also years of elite education in the German tennis school.
Ishikawa has mastered this ability just after playing with the opponent. It's too terrifying.
"Don't be surprised."
Mifune shook his head and said, "He himself has the foundation to become perfect or even ultimate quality. His limit depends only on his imagination."
"Hmm."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"By the way, I, the old man, am not here to be a commentator for you."
At this time, Mifune looked at Yuanshan, who was again motivated and launched an attack on Ishikawa, and said, "The list of tomorrow's games has been sorted out, fat boy."
Speaking of this,
He glanced at the sturdy Duke and said in a deep voice: "If possible, give that kid some pointers."
After saying that.
He turned and left.
Buzz!
At this time.
Yuanshan was emitting an extremely strong aura that gave people a strong sense of oppression. It was the super-gravity tennis dimension.
Boom!
However.
No matter how Yuanshan exploded, he could not break through Ishikawa's defense. After a series of fights, he was blown away again by a ball.
Buzz!
Just when Byodoin and Duke thought the game was over, Yuanshan climbed up again, staring at Ishikawa with his eyes as sharp as a knife, and launched an attack again.
"This kid"
Looking at Yuanshan's figure, Duke couldn't help but smile: "The ghost's vision is really good."
The Byodoin next to him looked at the list of matches given by Mifune, and a meaningful luster flashed in his eyes.
