Television broadcasts are only available at the national competition stage. The previous games, in CCTV’s terms, are not worth broadcasting. Watching online videos is enough.

"What about the World Championship?"

"World Championship?"

"That's right! We at Wanbao are actively communicating with overseas tennis associations and plan to hold a world-class tennis competition for middle school students."

This was not Gu Miao's whim.

In fact, he has never thought about holding a world championship at all, let alone the so-called active communication.

Mainly some overseas middle schools, seeing how popular the Wanbao Cup is, they also want to participate. But the Wanbao Cup is a domestic competition, how can foreign schools be allowed to participate?

So Lao Zhang suggested that we simply replicate the Wanbao Cup competition model to several interested foreign countries. Then the champions and runners-up of each country's national competition can participate in the final world competition.

This is the so-called World Championship.

The nature is similar to the U17 World Cup in "The Prince of Tennis", but the U17 World Cup is a confrontation between national teams, while the Wanbao Cup World Cup is still mainly a confrontation between "schools".

Moreover, the contestants are also limited to junior high school students. High school students cannot participate. If you want to participate, you must also participate in the World Youth Championship.

"What a great idea!"

"The World Championships can also be broadcast on television, but when do you plan to hold the World Championships?"

"Next year!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said: "The World Championship will definitely not be held this year. It will probably not be officially held until next year."

"Then let's talk next year."

CCTV was very interested in Gu Miao's so-called World Championship, especially the accompanying CCTV news reporter, who was keenly aware that this could be a great news material.

No matter who loses or wins, a competition like this involving cross-border confrontation will definitely attract the attention of the whole people, and the popularity will be many times higher than that of a national competition.

Really big news!

After seeing off the visiting guests and finalizing the television broadcast arrangements, this year's national competition officially started at Jiangchuan Feiyang Stadium.

In this year's national competition, there are no dark horses from previous years. The schools that advance to the top 16 are basically strong schools that have achieved results in the previous two years.

It is worth mentioning that as last year’s national champion and this year’s defending champion, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School’s performance in the knockout stages was truly eye-catching.

You don’t really want to defend your title, do you?

Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, led by Shen Chao, performed extremely well despite replacing most of its main players.

Many professionals have asserted that if other schools did not hide their strength, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School would definitely defend the title this year.

"So boring!"

Ma Kui, who accompanied Mr. Gu to watch the game, yawned and said: "6:0 in every game, this strength is too crushing."

"really……"

Gu Miao nodded.

His expression was a little embarrassed, as if he didn't expect that the strength gap among this year's participating teams would be so exaggerated.

In the national competition in the past two years, there were frequent dark horses, and the confrontations between various schools were back and forth. There was rarely a one-sided situation, and the games were basically played in five games.

But something is different this year.

The strength gap between the teams is so huge that there have been four consecutive 3-0 shutouts in the knockout rounds.

This kind of game is really boring to watch. After all, are you here to watch the crushing game? Can there be some upset scenes?

It is impossible to be upset.

The gap in hard power is so big, and the new members of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School are making rapid progress under the guidance of classmate Shen Chao. It is difficult for any team to stop them from winning the championship.

Just when Gu Miao thought that this year's national competition would be the most boring one, a middle school from North America applied for an exchange friendly match with the national champion, which piqued Gu Miao's interest.

"Friendly match?"

"They say it's a friendly match, but they're actually just here to cause trouble."

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The people on the other side are not kind. Do you need me to reject them?"

"No, promise them!"

Gu Miao said thoughtfully: "They want to come here to cause trouble and suppress our national championship, but I don't think Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School will lose."

If it were two years ago, the outcome of an exchange competition like this might be hard to say.

After all, at that time, the tennis environment in China was very poor, and there were not many talented young people emerging. It was normal to not be able to beat others.

But it’s different now. The current domestic tennis environment has become very good, and the strength of the national champion cannot be underestimated. There are also bug players like Shen Chao sitting there, so you may not necessarily lose in the exchange match.

Gu Miao has great confidence in Shen Chao.

He felt that he would not necessarily lose this exchange match. Since there was a possibility of winning, why not agree?
