Chapter 159 The Prince of Tennis Arrives at the Training Base
When Zhao Lan entered the training ground, the originally noisy sound of hitting the ball gradually quieted down. The high school students watching from a distance whispered, "Look over there, is that a girl?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be girls here? Have you been here for so long and haven't seen any girls? Are you stupid?"
Irie Kanata stood on tiptoe and looked back, but Zhao Lan had already walked far away, and he could only vaguely tell from her back that she was a girl.
"It seems like it really is a girl..." Thinking of the new teaching assistant I just heard about yesterday, could it be her?
Tokugawa Kazuya just glanced over there and ignored it, turning back to continue practicing. No matter who the newcomer was, he had only one goal.
Zhao Lan ignored the whispers behind her and walked towards the building where she had just seen Mr. Kurobe was.
Seeing some students training on the road, she took a quick look at their approximate level and then walked around them and went inside.
"Coach, Kurobe-sensei, long time no see."
"Girl, congratulations on winning the Grand Slam again. These guys are really lucky to be able to take the time to come here and help at this time."
Having this truly world-class player participating in their training will surely be of great help in improving their strength.
Coach Kurihara flicked her forehead to express his resentment for her refusal to participate in the World Cup.
Zhao Lan blinked, took a step forward, hooked his arm and shook it, "Take us to eat first, coach, we are already starving after all this journey, "
"You guys?" Coach Kurihara turned his head in confusion.
"Woof!"
The pet bag in his hand opened a crack, and the little whirlwind that was put into the bag from home couldn't wait to stick its head out.
The two Kurobe men then noticed the pet bag she was holding, "Is it your pet?"
Zhao Lan thought he was going to say that pets were not allowed here, so she quickly said, "Teacher, don't worry. I have trained this little guy to be very sensible. Not only can he understand simple instructions, but he will definitely not run around or bark and disturb everyone."
Little Tornado nodded immediately: "Awoof!"
Kurobe shook his head. "That's not what I'm talking about. There are patrol dogs here. As long as it doesn't affect other people, it's fine. I think it's still young. Does it need special food?"
"Don't worry about that. I have brought its own food, which is definitely enough for it."
"Well, that's good." The coach and Kurobe teacher, who knew her appetite well, nodded. Kurobe teacher then smiled and said, "Then let's go in and eat first. We can talk about the rest after we're full."
While eating, Zhao Lan saw a group of students running past through the glass door. He smiled and said, "Everyone is working so hard. By the way, I heard from the coach before that 50 junior high school students were invited this time. When will they arrive?"
The U-17 training camp was originally only for high school students, but after this year's national competition, the Neon Tennis Association launched the "Super Junior High School Student Selection Program."
50 top junior high school students were selected from across the country to participate in the training. The purpose, of course, is to discover potential new stars. This time there are several highly promising newcomers, and who knows, there may be a second Tsukishita Arashi.
“The invitation letter has been sent out and will arrive in two or three days.
As for this side, you should first familiarize yourself with the training rules here. In addition to being an assistant coach, you are also a professional athlete, so don't fall behind in your own training." Mr. Kurobe said casually while cutting steak.
Zhao Lan nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Kurobe, you don't know me yet. When have you ever worried about my training?"
That's right. Mr. Kurobe and Coach Kurihara nodded and began to introduce her to the daily training procedures and systems of the students here.
After taking a look at the information handed over by the coach, I found that the players were assigned to courts 1-16 according to their strength, with court 1 being the strongest and court 16 being the weakest.
You can be promoted or relegated through "Individual Replacement Matches" and "Team Replacement Matches". Individual matches are held every day and team matches are held once a week.
Individual substitution match: The coach designates the opponent, and the winner is decided in one game. The winner directly affects the ranking on the field.
Team replacement match: Play as a team and need to win 3 singles and 2 doubles. The losing side will not be allowed to challenge again within one week.
Players who perform poorly in the training camp will be classified as the "loser group" and sent to the mountains for more rigorous training.
The losing team members need to work as a team and break through themselves in order to return to the training base.
Seeing this, Zhao Lan chuckled, "This rule is quite interesting..." And in this loser group training, those who have failed before will often burst out with stronger potential and an obsession to win when they come back again.
"What, Arashi, are you interested in participating?" Kurobe Yukio was more interested in this idea.
He had been Lan's tactical teacher when she was still young, and at that time he had felt that she had an extremely strong physique, but he had no idea to what extent she could reach.
"Forget about participating in the ranking..." She is already a professional player, and participating in this mechanism is bullying.
"Don't forget, you're just a junior high school student." Besides, there are natural physical differences between boys and girls.
Although Arashi has won the Grand Slam, there is a natural physical gap between boys and girls. The gap between boys and girls may not be obvious when they are young, but at this age,
In particular, he only knew of someone here who could lift a one-ton boulder during training.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zhao Lan: "Don't underestimate them, or you may suffer a great loss~"
As her exclusive coach, Coach Kurihara certainly knows the most about every aspect of her physical fitness.
Considering the personalities of those hot-blooded young men, it was estimated that someone would come up to challenge her very soon.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "You were originally here to help them train, so there's no harm in joining in."
Zhao Lan scratched his cheek: "But I have never taught anyone... What do I need to do?"
Coach Kurihara pushed his glasses, which had no prescription, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "In principle... you can't kill them anyway, so just train them to death~"
He had complete confidence in Lan's abilities regarding the amount and level of training she had received.
Zhao Lan twitched his lips and glanced at his coach.
I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that after meeting Mr. Kurobe, her coaching style seemed to have changed.
However, "OK~~"
After eating, Coach Kurihara took her to her dormitory first, "You should take a rest first. I will notify you when everyone's training time is over."
"Okay, coach, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be back after I clean up a bit." Zhao Lan nodded and sent the coach away.
After checking that there were no surveillance devices in the bedroom, I let the little whirlwind out of its nest.
She did see several surveillance cameras in the corridor before, so she checked her room carefully.
This room is not small, especially since it is just her and Little Tornado living there, it is completely sufficient for a short period of time.
If you want to take a shower, there is a shower in the room. I heard there is a hot spring here, but that has nothing to do with her.
This is a training base for boys, but there is no bath for girls.
After a little tidying up, I let the little guy's toys out and fed him some food. Both of them ate some fruit and played with him for a while before I held the little guy and entered a state of cultivation.
After a while, a sturdy man knocked on the door and said, "Ms. Lan, everyone's training is over. Coach Kurihara asked me to call you over."
"Okay, come on."
Zhao Lan put the little guy back home, "It's time to meet the future players who need to be trained to death..."
