Following Tokuda Homare and Matsumoto Haruto, who were featured in the previous report, the next to challenge were the Misumi and Shimada duo, known for their athletic abilities.
Yuma Misumi (left), known for his high-hitting headers.
Victor Yuzo Shimada (right), known for his powerful dribbling and exceptional speed.
From the beginning, Misumi's athletic abilities were fully on display.
Why, you ask?
Victor Yuzo Shimada's control was unstable, causing them to play further and further away from the teqboard (lol).
They eventually ended up playing one teqboard length away (lol).
Both players fully utilized their athleticism and gradually extended the distance.
However, Misumi eventually dropped the ball to the ground easily, ending their turn (lol).
Misumi easily exiting and Shimada looking bewildered (lol).
Their record was also quite modest.
The third pair is a "craftsman" duo, known for their solid play.
Kaihiro Sato (left), who runs up the side with abundant stamina and whose left foot kick is his weapon.
Aoto Shiba (right), a theoretician who effortlessly handles multiple positions.
Shiba meticulously discusses before starting...
He's even checking the wind direction....
His uncompromising attitude, giving detailed instructions to Sato to achieve a good record, truly makes him a craftsman...
Finally, the preparations were complete, and they focused on their first attempt....
Then he started complaining that the voices from the sidelines were too loud....
*This exchange continued for a while, so we'll omit it (lol).
Gathering themselves, it was time for the real thing.
The solid player Shiba's strategy was to steadily increase the distance from the closest position.
The receiver, Sato, also supported Shiba by returning accurate balls, befitting a left-sided specialist.
Truly a craftsman duo!
Despite their excellent stability, they lost balance due to the wind. Even so, they desperately clung to balls that seemed impossible to retrieve.....
Their play, consistently landing the ball on the board, was truly that of a craftsman!
They gradually and steadily increased the distance, achieving a great record!
This concludes our Teqball Report for now!
Next time will be the final installment of the series, featuring the remaining two pairs!
