Only by breaking the "fear" can there be a glimmer of life.

But

Is "fear" really that easy to crack?

Sanada is not very sure, after all, it is not an easy thing to break the move when he first comes into contact, not to mention that the opponent is still Seishiro Akaji.

So instead of breaking the move first, Sanada chose to break "himself".

"Smack!"

The ball was hit, and he slammed his eyes open and ran towards the landing position, then swung his racket and struck it.

The ball spun violently on the paddle, giving Sanada no chance to exert himself.

"Shh

Realizing that this ball could not hit the "light" smoothly, Sanada adjusted the position of his arm, and hit the ball with an attitude of "aggression like fire".

"Bang!!"

(Yes, the use of light requires a certain amount of charge, even if it's short, but as long as the ball is off the point of impact, you can't hit it, otherwise it's just out of bounds.) ）

Looking at the ball that was hit back, Akaji was not in a hurry, but easily waved the paddle with one hand in one step.

"Smack!"

"Whew!"

The paddle was shaking, and the powerful force was stirring with the ball, but Akaji still hit it back with an unchanged face.

Although Akaji doesn't say that he knows all about Sanada, his playing style and character are very clear.

Wind forest volcano, gloomy thunder and dark light.

Sanada has undoubtedly carried forward this set, but the same moves that are put on the surface are also the easiest to be studied.

For those opponents who are already "old friends" with him, there is a little bit of a clue how to deal with it.

Especially for a player of Akaji's level, it is not impossible to counter it with subtle details.

"Drink!!"

Hearing the sound of the ball scraping the net, Sanada's face changed slightly, and he changed his pace, turning to intercept the ball coming from the opposite direction with his backhand.

"Smack!"

It was hard to block the ball, but the height of the jump would obviously give the opponent a chance.

"In that case, I'll definitely smash it!"

In the face of such a high lob ball, the first reaction of ordinary people will be to attack with a smash.

And then the opponent will definitely be tired of coping.

"A superficial ploy."

But Akaji didn't bother with this, and instead of jumping up to hit the ball, he waited for the ball to fall slowly.

Do you really think that he will ignore Sanada's state and smash because of the rare opportunity in front of him?

If you really do that, that's a flaw in self-sufficiency.

Don't look at Sanada's current posture is wrong, but as long as he uses the extreme speed that moves like thunder, he can't break through with a smash.

(Didn't you smash it?) ）

After selling such a big flaw, but the ball still hasn't been hit back, Sanada knows that Akaji has not been fooled.

"Smack!"

"It's tennis again!"

A volley is played, and the ball grabs the net to slow down the power, but at the same time it also produces a second turn and deviation.

"Tsk!"

As expected, Sanada flashed away and appeared on the track and waved.

"Thunder!!"

Lightning and thunder roared, and blue light shuttled through the stadium.

"Bang!"

Akaji, on the other hand, reverses the racket, and then hits the incoming electric light with the bottom end.

"Hit back!"

“15-0！”

The speed was too fast, and it didn't allow Sanada to launch a thunderbolt to chase after him.

"Is this Seijuro Akaji?"

"Too strong, isn't it?"

"He is worthy of being the minister of Diguang!"

Cheers continued from the stands, and people had an intuitive impression of the strength they showed.

This sense of oppression can be felt even when you are sitting in the audience.

"Bang!!"

“30-0！”

"Bang!!"

“40-0！”

"Bang!"

"This game is won by Temitsu Akaji!"

"Score."

“4-1！”

The gap is still widening, and there is no hope of getting closer.

"Bang!"

“15-0！”

"Bang!"

“30-0！”

The frequent loss of points also makes those who follow feel hopeless.

"Ahh In that case, there is no chance at all. ”

"It's over!"

Even the always optimistic Kirihara could sense the suffocation.

"Don't make a noise!"

Nioh, who was lying on the stretcher but still chose not to be carried away, looked at him impatiently and scolded.

"Nioh, are you alright?"

Yanagi looked at him, then asked.

"It's just a temporary internal injury."

"Small injury, but can't die"

"Just take a break."

If he was sent to the hospital again, Nioh would be very unhappy, and he didn't want to wake up and know the result in the hospital after the last match in three years in the country.

"It's really a lot of vitality, senior."

Looking at Nioh, who had a hard mouth, if someone was muttering beside him, the state of spitting blood and being injured all over his body could be summarized as a "small injury", he really admired.

When ordinary people encounter this situation, they have to think about the future.

"You, don't always jump to conclusions."

"Give me an honest look at the game before I speak."

"It's really noisy."

Ignoring the words of the people, Nioh rarely did not tolerate Kirihara's irritability, but put one hand on his head and taught him.

"Huh?"

was forcibly restrained, and Kirihara didn't have time to react at all, so he could only look confused.

"Nioh means to tell you to observe well and not be fooled by appearances."

With a sigh, Liu Lianji looked at the still confused Kirihara and reminded.

"Didn't you notice that the interval between each score has become longer since just now?"

Marui smiled and tugged at Kirihara's collar, then pointed to the middle of the field.

"Ugh"

Hearing this, Kirihara reacted and then looked at it carefully.

"Bang!"

“40-0！”

"Sanada is still losing points, but it's clear that he's starting to stabilize himself."

"Mistakes are no longer happening"

From the initial hit or hit the net to the current insistence on counterattack, it is undoubtedly proof that the situation is changing.

"Bang!!"

"This game is won by Temitsu Akaji!"

"Score."

“5-1！”

The ball tumbled off the paddle and slammed to the ground, and Sanada watched as it unwavered.

(The technique is so good.)

Akaji's basic style of play really tricked Sanada, and he didn't give him any chance to take advantage of it.

"The last game?"

Pinching the ball, Akaji looked at Sanada and whispered intently.

The effectiveness of his "fear" has begun to wane, not that it has no effect at all, but Sanada still hasn't been able to perceive him, but he has cleared his own abnormal state.

This is evident in the ever-lengthening scoring intervals

Sanada is stabilizing himself step by step

"It's not that I want to crack the fear, but I crack my own anomaly"

For his choice, Akaji is also very different.

Being able to grasp the key points and gradually grope for ways to try to counterattack is worthy of the identity of Vice Minister Lihai.

"Spiegel stops water."

What kind of state Sanada has precipitated, Akaji also knows very well.

Because of this, he knew that the next last game was the most troublesome.

It is no longer realistic to let Sanada in this state be easily defeated.

"Huh"

"That's why tennis is interesting."

"I don't know what's going to happen until the last minute."

Obviously, it would be a longer confrontation, but Richiji was happy.

For him, there is nothing more boring than a landslide victory.

The resistance and growth of his opponent is what he is most happy to see.

"Come on!"
