2. Is Echizen Ryoma so strong?
"Prance Ludovic Charudaru"
"He has the shortest singles match record of 29 minutes and 32 seconds in this tournament."
"The new talented player of France, people give nicknames. Ace Prince. ”
Kan Sadaji was in the stands, staring at the opposing player's mouth and explaining.
"The record setter for the shortest race?"
"It's hard to imagine that he's a national player."
Hearing this, Fuji opened his eyes and muttered softly.
"What's more, most of that player scored on the return serve, and he had a 90-second result in a single game."
"It's going to be a tough fight for Echizen, right?"
"That's right."
The chatter kept ringing out, but it didn't affect Ryoma, who was about to serve, from beginning to end.
He could hear those words clearly in his ears, but he didn't care, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was revealed.
Although he hasn't fully sorted out the current situation, it's okay to play a little bit.
"Bang!"
Throwing the tennis ball and hitting it directly, the fall with a clear arc also reminded people of the impressive serve.
"It's a right-handed outspin serve!"
"Huh?"
"Isn't the ball a little fast?"
But there are also people who have noticed a slight change from the inside, and this ball seems to be a little different from the externally rotated serve that I have seen before?
"Rude fellow!"
Looking at the tennis ball that bounced up and jumped to his face, Plance roared, took a step back, and immediately swung the racket in his hand to hit the incoming ball.
"Hmph, no matter what the ball is, he will definitely hit it back and score in one go!"
Prance's past performances have also shown that his toughness is not boasting.
But it's a pity . This Ryoma is a bit out of order.
"Smack!"
"Whoa!"
"Huh?!"
As soon as the paddle came into contact with tennis, Prance's face changed in shock.
Before he could react too much, the net began to twist slightly, and then the ball broke through the net and got out of it.
"Smack."
The tennis ball that had passed by the face fell to the ground, causing a silence on the court.
“.”
The previous group of voices of solidarity directly stopped, and even the traces and others who were watching the battle were stunned.
"Externally rotated serve. Is it so powerful? ”
Haitang looked at this scene stunned, and then hesitated.
"The last time I played with Echizen, I didn't think it had this kind of power."
Momojo, a teammate who has always been good with Ryoma, has doubts at this time.
"Could it be that the little ghost has done some special training secretly?"
Kikumaru's surprised expression never faded, and he stretched out his hand to point, a little uncertain.
"It seems that he is not a fool of himself on the American team."
Jibe laughed, and he also had the right to grow in the American team before the other party.
(I don't always think there's anything wrong.)
On the other hand, Byodoin and Tokugawa frowned, but there was a sense of disobedience in their hearts.
Looking at Ryoma on the field, they always felt that something was missing.
But for a while, I couldn't notice what was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"It's so much to brag about, but you can't catch that level of serve?"
Entering the familiar link, Ryoma looked at Prance and said in a mocking tone.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you."
Hearing this, Prance did not get angry, but responded with a serious expression, and then he walked off the court to replace the new racket.
"Hmph, come on again, watch me hit your serve back!"
Back on the pitch again, Prance said with a serious expression.
"I hope so."
"Smack!"
Pointing out, Ryoma struck his own outspin serve again.
(The ball falls very fast, the angle of the bounce is also tricky, and the force and rotation force after the rebound are very strong)
(So get the feel of hitting the ball and counteract his spins)
Observing the situation of the ball, Prans still grasped the essentials more or less.
The external spin serve is not a difficult move, and it is something that the general public is more familiar with.
The details and techniques of this kind of move are more or less familiar to the players.
"Hah!"
"Bang!!"
Use the twisting of the waist to drive the upper body to exert force, and hold the paddle in your hand and hit it forward.
"Bang!!"
"Squeak squeak!!"
There was a rather unpleasant grinding sound, and the ball spun on the paddle surface.
"Out of bounds!"
“30-0!”
Although it did hit back, the angle was quite subtle, and it went out of bounds without any precision at all.
"Are you the baseball prince of baseball?"
"Long-winded! Succeed next time! ”
Being so mocked by Ryoma, Prancus couldn't hold back a little, and retorted with a flushed face.
"Alas"
Roughly figured out the other party's level, Ryoma is not very optimistic about his performance.
Although I have the impression that this person is an incarnation of another dimension, it is doubtful how much performance he can have in front of him.
"Bang!"
After another outspin serve, Plance focused, and then this time he didn't miss a slip and successfully hit back.
"Hit back!"
"Worthy of a prince."
"However, to be able to make him almost three times before he can successfully fight back, Echizen Ryoma is not an idle person."
The crowd of the French team was inexplicably relieved, obviously according to the past, Prance should face anyone who can receive the serve and score directly.
But this time at the beginning, it directly entered the "deflated" link, which is surprising.
It's hard to imagine such a moment.
"I remember"
"You seem to be very good at playing the left and right balls, right?"
"I'll let you order it a little"
Paying attention to Ryoma's movements, Prance heard the other party's straightforward speech.
"What?"
"Bang!"
Not understanding what that meant, he saw Ryoma deliberately hit the ball to his left baseline.
The tricky landing point will be hit back by him with a more tricky angle.
That's what Planz is very good at.
This is the ability he has cultivated in horseback riding, but it will be weaker in the middle.
"You!"
Ignoring his opponent's intentions for a moment, the Prance ran and hit the ball back in his own way.
"What a beautiful ripost!"
"The angle is perfect, too."
"Scored!"
Seeing that the arc and angle of the ball were quite tricky, everyone in the French team looked at the motionless Ryoma and immediately decided on the result.
"Whew"
“?”
But all of a sudden, the ball that was absorbed in the past made them all stunned.
"Bang!!"
You don't have to move around at all, just stand there and the ball will fly back to you.
“!”
Another blow back into the corner, and Prance went straight from the left to the right.
It was still a tricky way, but this time the ball flew to Ryoma's side.
"Is that the Tezuka realm?"
"No"
"He simply didn't give Tezuka the spin it deserved on the ball."
"That's not Tezuka Realm."
Oishi and the others were quite stunned, but at the same time, they were also seen through the main points by the traces.
For the traces and Fuji who often deal with Tezuka, they know exactly what the nature of the Tezuka domain is.
Judging from the scene that Ryoma is showing now, it is different from the Tezuka realm in his cognition.
"Whew."
A cyclone visible to the naked eye forms around and can even blow the bangs of the audience.
(This feeling.)
A huge sense of oppression came over his face, and he only felt extremely depressed inside.
"Bang!"
The opponent can fight back just by standing there, and he is constantly running from side to side.
That easy-to-use attitude is just like that
"Bang!"
Without waiting for him to have more time to think, Ryoma fired back.
“40-0!”
This time he didn't catch up with the ball, so he lost a point.
"The prince is what he does best. The style of play has been cracked? ”
"How is that possible?"
On the contrary, for the French team, this is the most incredible point.
Staring at him, Ryoma spoke in a relaxed manner.
"It's a return gift to your lord."
"I've been taken care of by him."
"Don't fall down easily."
