Chapter 716: The decisive battle begins!
Sanada was wearing a black hat with the brim pulled down slightly, covering part of his face.
However, when he raised his head, the fierce gaze projected from under the brim of his hat flashed across the Qingxue preparation area like lightning.
His eyes were full of provocation and confidence, as if he was announcing to his opponent: "Tezuka, I... have been waiting here for a long time, hurry up and get on the battlefield!"
At the same time, Tezuka, who had also finished warming up early like Sanada, stood quietly at the other end of the field.
After hearing Sanada's call, he just nodded slightly, and then responded in his usual calm tone: "Come on, Sanada!"
These four simple words contain endless determination and courage.
Although the brief conversation between the two was short, the strong fighting spirit revealed in it was like a powder keg being ignited, instantly making the atmosphere of the entire stadium tense and heated.
At this time, the audience from various schools in the stands were even more excited. Among them were the players from Hyotei Academy, all of them looked serious;
There were also members from Rokkaku Junior High School, Fudomine, Yamabuki Junior High School, St. Rudolph's College, and Josei Shonan, all of whom were staring at the stadium intently, afraid of missing any exciting moments.
This year, the teams of Seigaku and Rikkai University showed strength beyond imagination, winning all the way and attracting countless people's attention.
The final showdown was undoubtedly between the four best players from both sides.
However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, Kide Nagashiro murmured to himself, "Not necessarily. Don't forget the match between Yukimura and Ryoma. It must have been exciting."
Tezuka was seen taking off his coat slowly with a stern expression, and each movement seemed steady and powerful.
He walked towards the stadium with firm steps, one after another, as if the whole world was left with only the field in front of him.
At the same time, Sanada had already stood in the center of the arena, his eyes fixed on Tezuka's approaching figure.
When the two finally walked to the middle of the field and stood facing each other, Sanada took a deep breath, his eyes focused and he said seriously: "Tezuka, I have waited for this day for too long, let us...show off!"
As early as elementary school, Sanada had a contest with Tezuka, but the game ended in a disastrous defeat with a score of 6:0. For Sanada, who has always been arrogant, this undoubtedly became a mark of shame that can never be erased from his heart.
Therefore, this game is of great significance to him. It is not only about honor, but also an opportunity for self-redemption.
Yanagi Renji, who was standing by, stared at the two players on the field thoughtfully, and whispered softly, "I didn't expect that the match that Sanada had been looking forward to would actually kick off today. It's really exciting! I just wonder how intense and exciting their confrontation will be."
Reporter Mamoru Inoue quickly pressed the shutter to capture the moment of confrontation between the two men.
Shiba Saori, who heard the whisper not far away, couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression. She turned her head and asked curiously to the person next to her: "Why do you say this is the match that Sanada has been looking forward to for a long time?"
People around cast their concerned glances, and seemed to want to know the story behind this question.
Mamoru Inoue slowly put down the camera in his hand, his eyes shifted from the lens to the crowd, and he said: "Actually, I heard about this from others. Back then, at the Kanagawa JR Tournament, Tezuka and Sanada had a wonderful contest."
Hearing this, Shiba Saori beside her showed a surprised expression on her face, and she asked eagerly: "JR Tournament? The one held in Kanagawa?"
Inoue Mamoru nodded slightly, but then shook his head and denied it: "No, this game is not that simple. You know, the final score of that game was a jaw-dropping 6:0!"
"What? Six to zero!"
As soon as this astonishing score was announced, it exploded among the crowd like a bombshell.
The people around widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
After all, Sanada's name has long been known throughout the country, and as the emperor of Rikkai University, his powerful strength is unquestionable.
Who could have expected that this majestic king would suffer such a crushing defeat in elementary school, and his opponent was Tezuka.
Kimetsu Nagashiro, who was standing aside, turned his head in disbelief and cast his gaze towards Yanagi Renji and others.
His tone was full of doubt: "Hey, let me ask you, does your deputy minister still have a chance to win this time?"
Faced with such doubts, Yanagi Renji seemed quite calm.
He calmly spread out the page with Sanada's detailed information and replied calmly: "Don't forget, Sanada is no longer at the level of elementary school. After so many years of training and growth, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
At this time, Yukimura, who had been watching the game quietly, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.
His deep eyes calmly gazed at the players who were warming up on the court, and he said softly, "That's right. Almost all of the hard work and unremitting efforts that Sanada has put in over the past three years are preparations for defeating Tezuka. Even the unique skills that he has carefully studied and developed are all tailor-made for this fateful duel. So, let's wait and see who will win."
Although Tezuka always follows the captain and learns from him, Sanada's performance should not be underestimated.
After all, on the road to improving tennis skills, the efforts and sweat put in by everyone cannot be ignored.
It remains to be seen who will win this highly anticipated match.
On the other side of the stadium, Lin Nan crossed his legs leisurely, resting his chin with one hand, and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of this kid Sanada, almost all of the skills he has mastered are tailor-made for Tezuka and developed specifically to restrain him. In this situation, they can really be described as a pair of enemies who love and hate each other!"
Then, he changed the subject and reminded: "But everyone, please do not underestimate Tezuka. His true strength is far beyond everyone's imagination."
These seemingly ambiguous words caused the members of the Youth Academy team present to feel an indescribable sense of depression.
It seemed to have said a lot of key information, but it also seemed to have said nothing clearly, like a pile of meaningless nonsense that was confusing.
A hint of fiery fighting spirit suddenly flashed in Fuji Shusuke's eyes as deep as the sea.
As a member of the Seigaku team, he understood better than most of his teammates just how amazing Tezuka's astonishing talent was.
