My Animation Era

  Chapter 672 Jiangchuan Derby (Happy New Year)

   It will take a few days to move.

  Although the house has been bought, the decoration company has not entered yet. As for the decoration, it is estimated that it will be completed before the end of the year at the earliest.

  Maybe later?

   After all, when my wife heard that the house was going to be renovated, she said enthusiastically that she would design the blueprint for the decoration herself, and Gu Miao was not allowed to intervene.

Ok!

   If you don't interfere, you don't interfere. Gu Miao has no interest in how the new house is decorated. He is only responsible for paying the bill by swiping his card, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

  Compared with decorating a new house, he is more concerned about the ongoing "Wanbao Cup" National Youth Tennis Competition provincial and municipal competitions.

   Other provinces and cities do not matter.

  As the location of Wanbao's headquarters, he still pays close attention to the competition in Jiangchuan City.

   More precisely...

  He pays more attention to the performance of those local middle schools in Jiangchuan that have made outstanding performances in the animation "The Prince of Tennis".

   Animation is very different from reality!

  For example, in the animation, Yulin Middle School is properly sending warmth to the fish belly team for a round. But in reality, the tennis club of Jiangchuan Yulin Middle School is extremely strong.

  In the Wanbao Cup provincial and municipal competition, in the Jiangchuan competition area, Yulin Middle School directly humiliated Lele Middle School with three 6:0s.

  That's Lele Middle School!

  In the animation, Lele Middle School is a dark horse in the Jiangchuan area. It even defeated the popular Meijiang Middle School and broke into the East China Competition as the runner-up.

   As a result, in reality, the "dark horse" Lele Middle School was so vulnerable that it was eliminated by Yulin Middle School with zero seals and missed the promotion to the East China Competition.

   "Is this an upset?"

   "It doesn't count!"

  Old Zhang, who supervised the whole process of the competition, couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words: "The strength of Lele Middle School is not as good as the animation version, and it's normal that they can't beat Yulin Middle School."

   "The real upset dark horse should be Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School..."

   Speaking of which.

  As an insider, Lao Zhang was quite speechless and said: "Speaking of which, Shen Chao from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is so fierce! Why is he so strong? It's like a dragon and horse in an animation."

  Even though he was a freshman in junior high school, he was able to overwhelm a bunch of old students in second and third grade, and he was crushed by a big score every time, so he was not weak.

"I know this!"

  Gu Miao was surprised and said: "Student Shen Chao is very fierce, this matter has been exposed long ago. But no matter how fierce he is, he is only one person, at most he can win a single match, what kind of dark horse is this?"

   The game is Bo5!

   Wanbao Cup National Tennis Competition, the competition system is basically exactly the same as the animation. Each game consists of two doubles and three singles, and the school that wins three points first wins.

  Under this competition system.

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has a talented player like Shen Chao, but at most they can win a singles game, and it is difficult to win four games in one go.

unless…

  Others can also super-evolve!

   "Yeah, the others are outrageous."

  The corner of Lao Zhang's mouth twitched and said: "Ghost knows what's going on. Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, who was pecking with Lele Middle School chickens before, suddenly became stronger collectively."

   "Lele Middle School got zero seal from Yulin Middle School, and Yulin Middle School got zero seal from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School..."

   Outrageous!

   How long has it been since then, why did Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School suddenly become so strong? Is this scientific?

"Wait a minute!"

   Gu Miao was amazed, and seemed to have thought of something, and asked Lao Zhang: "Yulin Middle School is the semi-finals, right? Then Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School defeated them, didn't they enter the final?"

   "Entered..."

   "The final will start a week later! Their opponent is Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School. This match is very popular on the Internet, and it is known as the Jiangchuan Derby!"

  Jiangchuan Derby?

  Gu Miao heard a black thread.

  Derbys are generally tasteful only if they are "old enemies", right? Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, if he remembers correctly, these two are "brother" schools, where is the smell of gunpowder?

   Well, it doesn't matter.

  Whether it smells like gunpowder or not, this is a game worth watching. After all, this seems to be the closest the tennis club of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is to the competition trophy?

  …

  The news that Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School entered the final for the first time and was expected to break the curse of "no crown" quickly spread across half of Jiangchuan.

  The reason why there is only half of Jiangchuan, not the whole of Jiangchuan, is that the other half of Jiangchuan people are more supportive of No. 2 Middle School.

  Wanbao's publicity is in place.

   Regardless of whether they are interested in tennis or not, no matter whether they know the players from No. 1 or No. 2 Middle School, under the bombardment of Wanbao's intensive advertisements, all the citizens of Jiangchuan know about this game.

   Similarly, Shen Chao's parents also knew about it.

   "Baby, eat more meat!"

  Mother Shen took off her apron, put a piece of braised pork in for her son, and then told her: "This way you will have strength to play and win the game."

   "Your mother was right!"

   "Dad took half a day off today to watch your game. Son, you must win! Dad bet your Uncle Wang a piece of money!"

  Shen Chao: "..."

  What the **** is a Huazi?

  Aren’t his parents very opposed to him playing tennis and asking him to focus on his studies so that he can be admitted to a good university in the future?

  Why did the attitude change so quickly?

  With strong curiosity, Shen Chao asked out the doubts in his heart.

   "This..."

  Papa Shen smiled brightly and said, "In this competition you are participating in, the champion should get a bonus, right?"

   "Well, there are also runner-ups!"

  Shen Chao nodded, just about to ask what this has to do with the bonus, when he saw his parents' expressions of "you understand, son", he instantly understood.

   Dare to seek bonuses?

  After finally understanding why his parents' attitude suddenly became so good and why they strongly supported him in playing basketball, Shen Chao was also speechless.

  It wasn't like this before.

  After the animation "The Prince of Tennis" was broadcast, Lele Middle School invited Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School to compete. He showed a strong tennis talent and attracted the favor of many tennis coaches and professional players, but his parents still resisted his practice.

  Even though that time, Shen Chao hadn't made up his mind to move on to the path of "professional tennis player", so he declined the invitation.

  But my parents still said that there is no future in playing tennis, it is more practical to go to college, and it will be easy to find a job to support myself in the future...

  Shen Chao originally thought that it would be difficult to convince such stubborn diehards as his parents.

  How could he change his face so quickly.

   A few days ago, he was still saying that playing tennis had no future. After learning how rich the prize money of the competition was, he encouraged him to play tennis in a blink of an eye, and bet a Huazi.

   "Second Middle School..."

   Biting the braised pork that his mother gave him, Shen Chao's eyes were solemn, and the "training match" he played against Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School came to mind.

  That time, they failed miserably.

  Although it was a training match, it was not considered a formal match. Everyone focused on training and did not show their full strength.

   But that time, the tacit doubles combination of Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School still left a deep impression on Shen Chao.

too strong!

  In the animation "The Prince of Tennis", the status of singles is higher than that of doubles, and ordinary audiences do not value doubles matches and doubles players.

  But in real matches, doubles is the key player to decide the outcome.

   Singles after all…

   Except for bugs like Shen Chao, everyone else is at the level of rotten fish and rotten shrimps, and it is difficult to crush them with strength.

   I drank too much last night, and I was woken up by shaking until the fireworks set off at twelve o'clock. The red envelope was sent by my brother, please forgive me...
