My Animation Era

It’s another year of city competition.

After the last "Wanbao Cup" National Middle School Tennis Open became popular, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School became a recognized star school.

The runner-up in the national competition!

Everyone wants to know whether the half-old and half-new Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School Tennis School Team can maintain its "national runner-up level" combat effectiveness after a round of team changes during the graduation season?

This is something that not only media reporters are curious about, but also those competitors who regard Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School as the biggest obstacle to winning the championship.

The national competition is still early.

If you want to observe the enemy's situation and collect intelligence data, the provincial and city-level competitions currently being held are the best opportunity.

Last year's champion and runner-up in the Jiangchuan Division were Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School.

But this year is a little different.

Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School was reorganized, old players graduated one after another, and a large number of fresh blood was introduced to Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. Although Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School relied on the efforts of many old players to turn the tide and stumbled into the finals, it unfortunately lost to Lele Middle School.

Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School?

Not only the strength of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has declined seriously, but the current situation of Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School is even worse. In the last session, we were able to compete with No. 1 Middle School, but this session just stopped at the city competition.

"Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is dead!"

"That's right, the runner-up team in the national competition couldn't even win a city competition this time..."

"Is there a possibility that they are currently in the adjustment period of the new team members and are not showing their full strength?"

"Running-in? Stop making excuses for being a newbie! Lele Middle School also has a group of new team members. How come they have become stronger and don't need to run-in?"

The performance of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in the new season was not satisfactory, which not only aroused heated discussions among many netizens, but was also reported by many media.

For a time, the team members were under great pressure.

The old team members who had accompanied Shen Chao to compete in national competitions were okay. At least they had more experience and their mentality was still stable.

However, the mentality of those first-year junior high school players who only joined the tennis club in September this year is not so good.

Faced with the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, many new team members have developed self-doubt, feeling that they are not suitable for playing tennis, and are holding others back, making them extremely depressed...

"Don't listen to those people outside, they know nothing about tennis!"

As a minister, Shen Chao took the loss of the finals very lightly and comforted everyone: "You must have watched the "Prince of Tennis" animation, right?"

"Seen!"

The teammates nodded.

As the most popular sports show in the past two years, everyone must have watched it. It can even be said that it was "Prince of Tennis" that brought them into the world of tennis.

"Then do you think Ryoma, who has just entered school, is very good? Is Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, which just competed in the regional qualifiers, very good?"

Looking around, seeing that his teammates were silent, Shen Chao said, "No, Longma was not particularly strong at the beginning, and Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School was also a lower-tier team with no results."

"But in the end, you all saw that a lower-tier team defeated the arrogant King Qiuzhong and won the championship trophy of the national competition!"

Falling is not scary.

The terrible thing is that after falling, you never have the courage to stand up again.

Shen Chao told his teammates that the defeat in the district and city competitions was nothing at all. The national championship was the goal they should strive for.

Practice hard and take revenge!

His comfort encouraged his teammates, and they turned the depression of losing to Lele Middle School in the Jiangchuan City competition into motivation for practice.

There is also the East China Competition!

After the East China competition, there will be a national competition. They must practice their basic skills hard in order to take revenge on Lele Middle School and attack the national championship in the subsequent competitions.

…

Gu Miao didn't know what happened in the tennis club of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

He was thinking about something at the moment.

Thanks to the popularity of the animation "The Prince of Tennis", tennis, which was originally a relatively unpopular sport in China, suddenly became a big hit.

The Wanbao Cup has also become a top event.

However, the registration criteria for this event must be junior high school students, and they must form a team to compete in the name of "school team".

To be honest, it's very restrictive.

Just like in the original "Prince of Tennis", Oni Jujiro never won the national championship in his life, but Byodoin was infinitely prosperous. In interschool competitions that value teamwork, many powerful singles players were buried.

Ever since.

The person in charge of the National Tennis Center approached Wanbao, hoping to refer to the platform mechanism of the "Wanbao Cup" competition and cooperate to create a tennis competition that mainly reflects personal strength.

This competition is different from the Wanbao Cup.

The Wanbao Cup is mainly a competition between "schools and schools", and it pays more attention to the cooperation and overall strength of a team.

However, there are only two events in this competition, namely singles and doubles. Players can register freely according to their preferences to determine the final singles champion and doubles champion.

Say something from your heart.

This kind of game is the most entertaining and also more practical game.

After all, the Wanbao Cup is an inter-school competition. In the same team, the strength of the players will inevitably vary. If someone is holding back, they will not win the final championship.

And if there are only singles or doubles, then you don't have to worry about teamwork and formation. As long as you are strong enough, you can win the championship if you fight all the way.

But Gu Miao didn't want to do this.

The reason is simple. He feels that it has nothing to do with Wanbao's business and there is no reason to get involved.

The Wanbao Cup event is held to build momentum for the animated film "The Prince of Tennis" and to cultivate tennis enthusiasts.

What about this competition?

Those people at the tennis center don't really think that Gu Miao is very keen on tennis events and is willing to devote everything to tennis, right?

"Reject them."

"Sponsorship can be provided, but it's okay to jointly host it. Wanbao is not interested in hosting this kind of event." Gu Miao shook her head.

It’s okay to spend some money to sponsor it.

But if they want Wanbao to get involved, then forget it. One Wanbao Cup has exhausted them both physically and mentally. How can they have the energy to engage in other competitions?

Of course, this only refers to tennis.

Gu Miao definitely doesn't want to do anything else during the tennis match. But if it were other types of competitions, such as four-wheel drive competitions, Yu-Gi-Oh! competitions... then he would still be quite happy.

“Other ball games are fine too!”

As if thinking of something, Gu Miao quickly added to Lao Zhang: "We won't do tennis anymore, but football, basketball, table tennis and volleyball, if you have the chance, you can give it a try."

It doesn't cost much to hold a game. If you can take this opportunity to play other sports, it will definitely be a profit.

Especially basketball.

"Coach, I want to play basketball" has inspired many people. The classic sports show "Slam Dunk" is one of Gu Miao's favorite animation works.

If given the chance, he wouldn't mind letting the children of this world experience the passion of youth brought by basketball...
