Chapter 2 You can't lose, at least win a game
Tennis, not over the net!
Seeing this failed serve, Awabara pursed his lips.
Although the brain is no longer up, the body is always a little uncoordinated, and it is not so obedient to the command.
He thought that this should be the result of fusing the original soul and failing to fit perfectly with the body.
Outside the field, there was a brief silence.
Then, a group of people couldn't help but burst into laughter. A few of them even whistled and gave Awabara a thumbs up.
Awabara didn't feel too embarrassed.
Because as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.
Besides, tennis is still about the performance on the court, and it doesn't have much to do with off the court.
As long as you win on the court, you can taunt it off the court, anyway, it's just the wailing of the defeated dog.
Slapping the tennis ball, Awabara prepares to serve for the second time.
According to the scoring rules, only one point is awarded to the opponent when there are two consecutive service errors.
The game had just begun, and he had only made one mistake, so he was not in a hurry.
Having said that, swinging a sword is not much different from playing tennis.
– this is how he felt intuitively after his first service failure.
So on the second serve, he hit it like the original body usually swings his sword.
As for the weight of the tennis ball, he completely ignored it.
Because the original body practiced kendo since he was a child, he had to swing the racket thousands of times a day, coupled with his good actual combat experience, his physical fitness was strong to the extent of 'playing more than ten'.
With such a little weight, it is not an exaggeration to say zero to him.
Therefore, the performance created by this goal is a 'fast' word!
When the sound of hitting the ball rings in your ears, you can't catch the trace of the tennis ball in your eyes.
As a result, there was silence outside the arena again.
On the court, Tezuka was shocked by this ball - an invisible serve!?
He looked at Awabara.
Perhaps because of the illusion, he saw a familiar shadow in the other person's body.
That person's name was Sanada.
In the neon junior high school tennis world, he has the nickname 'Emperor'.
"Throw-in!"
"Tezuka scores."
"The score is 15-0."
It is the only one who has taken the initiative to step up and play the role of referee.
At this time, his squinted eyes also opened.
Obviously, the goal was a big enough surprise for him.
"Okay, throw-in." Awabara shrugged.
He wouldn't suspect that Fuji was cheating. One is that the other party's dignity does not allow it, and the other is that he also sees that tennis is indeed out of bounds.
When switching to the left court, he took a defiant look at the outside of the court.
The person who had mocked him before either lowered their heads in embarrassment or looked away.
Only then did he continue to serve as a winner.
This ball is still very fast, so fast that people's eyes can't catch it.
Even if you have excellent dynamic vision, it is a little reluctant to see this ball clearly.
"In-bounds."
"Awabara scores."
"The score is 15-15!"
After a pause for a few seconds, Fuji announced the score, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Awabara with a hint of suspicion.
He had just heard that Awahara said that he had never played tennis and was from a kendo club.
If that's the case, then how did this guy get this kind of serve?
This serve alone is enough to make a regular player like him difficult for a while.
Or is this person pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? He deliberately concealed the fact that he knew how to play tennis from the beginning of his game? In order to preconceive and leave an impression for everyone that they can't play tennis, and then stage a blockbuster drama, so as to hit Tezuka and even the youth tennis club?
But there's no need!
Looking at the tennis world of Tokyo National High School, there are not a few who are more famous than the Youth Tennis Club, such as Lihai Da, who has dominated the country for 2 consecutive years, Ice Emperor who has dominated Kanto for many years, and the powerful Yamabuki... Isn't there a better choice among these than Qingxue? Or in the other party's opinion, Qingxue is relatively soft persimmon that can be handled at will?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Kansadaji on the side.
With Ah Gan out of the horse, the details of Suyuan were quickly investigated. He thought to himself, and his eyes were on the pitch again.
Tezuka, what would you do at this time?
What else can be done?
Kick back tennis, of course.
In Tezuka's view, tennis just doesn't really go away, that's something that can fight back.
Until then, he just needs to get used to the speed of the ball and get his rusty body moving.
And this he has experience.
Because he had played against Sanada, he knew what kind of power this kendo-based tennis ball was.
So, after Awabara hit an invisible serve for the third time in the true sense of the word, he hit back.
"It's really a leg card." Awabara couldn't help but praise.
He wasn't actually much surprised, after all, Tezuka did have this strength.
Just seeing that the tennis ball was hit back, he also ran to catch the ball with confidence, wanting to come with an aggressive shot.
The hall master is the primary color of fire, so he also has a lot of experience in playing with fire.
But the actual situation is a little far from what he imagined.
Tennis balls come with strong spin.
Although his racket wraps around the tennis ball, it does not exert force in the direction of the tennis ball's rotational force, so that the tennis ball's own rotational force collides with the force generated by the tennis ball when it touches the racket.
Manifested in the outside world, it is this ball that is soft and fluttering over the net.
Immediately hit back by Tezuka, who was on the net, hit a short ball, flew over the net and fell, and scored on the ground.
"Tezuka scores."
"The score is 30-40."
Awahara didn't care about the score.
As he walked to the tee, he had no doubt that a big question mark had crossed his mind.
"Can't you fight back like that!?"
You don't see that the king of tennis has played murderous tennis in the later stage, why is it so difficult to play a rebound ball with spin in the early stage?
Is this reasonable?
This doesn't make sense!
So, Awabara hit an invisible serve again.
As with the square, Tezuka's return ball has a strong spin.
He tried not to follow the direction of rotation of the tennis ball, but found that the tennis ball was extremely unstable in flight, and there was not much force, and it appeared to be non-aggressive and threatening.
Such a return shot is tantamount to giving away the score.
"Well, with my current ability, it seems that if I want to ignore the spin of the tennis ball and shoot back, it will probably be useless." Awahara accepted this fact and resolutely put no end to the stalemate. On the contrary, he wants to make a change.
Now, he wants to win, at least in one game.
He came with great momentum, if he didn't even win a game, and only scored one or two points in the end, not to mention whether he was embarrassed or not, he himself would be very unwilling, even if his tennis was zero.
He thought he had to do something.
The game continues!
He hit an invisible serve again.
Even faster than just now.
"The ball is faster!"
Tezuka made a judgment in his heart, and it was a topspin shot with a left forehand.
This kind of ball is characterized by high flight amplitude, fast descent, small reflection angle of landing and bounce, and large forward impulse. When attacking, the ball can be deep or shallow. That's why it's very popular with offensive players.
Because of this, in the eyes of the audience outside the stadium, Awahara is going to lose this point.
But in fact, Awabara accurately predicted the landing location of the tennis ball.
As a member of the kendo club, he has a lot of experience in actual combat, and it is normal to predict how the opponent's sword will attack and from which direction, right?
In the same way, he predicted where the tennis ball would land, which is also reasonable, right?
In his opinion, Tezuka's ball was as if it was tailor-made for him.
As long as the force is exerted again in the direction of rotation of the tennis ball, the rotation force of the tennis ball itself will be strengthened again.
That is, the ball will be hit back in the same way.
"Huh? This goal is..."As a referee, after seeing Awabara's movements up close, Fuji's expression couldn't help but froze.
