Almighty painter

Chapter 448 Football Game
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The ball comes back and forth on the tennis court.

Koko pursed her lips tightly, and her face lost the careless smile she had in school, which was "Miss Koko's signature style". The playful bun on her head trembled up and down with her movements. , as if the tail of the golden pheasant is chirping anxiously and wanting to jump up and peck someone...

Or the hairpin on the head of the female general of the Yang family during the duel on stage.

Katsuko Sakai is very polite.

Very calm.

It was this calmness that made her feel humiliated.

Kou Kou can become the girl king among those beautiful student girls on campus who have eight thoughts. She has a super competitive side in her character.

She likes Gu Weijing and is willing to treat him well. This is her own business.

It has nothing to do with anyone else.

This is a very sincere good feeling, which may not reach the level of undying love, but it plays an irreplaceable role in her life experience.

Kou Kou will not be biased in thinking that Shengzi is some kind of bus who is good at playing with emotions.

She and Mona have completely different personalities.

The extraordinarily sincere emotions in Kou Kou's heart were blasphemed.

She had never thought about destroying the relationship that Gu Weijing took so seriously.

If Shengzi just ran over and hugged Gu Weijing in a demonstration, Kou Kou would feel a little angry, but she would just be sulking alone.

The exposure of this kind of thing certainly surprised Xiaoba Po Kou Kou.

Xiaobapo's heart also felt warm.

But the look and tone of Shengzi's condescending look at her next, along with the suggestion to play tennis, completely ignited the anger in Miss Koko's heart.

Even Kou Kou thought this scene was beautiful.

If you occasionally play two games in school, you will definitely win more and lose less.

Instead, she felt that this girl could overcome the pressure at home and bravely come together with the person she likes.

I'm a little unhappy that he's in love with someone else... but it's also fine.

It is not incomprehensible for such a girl to be able to enchant Gu Wei's mind.

He fell in love with me, which was great.

It was as if she had seen dust.

Some kind of cheap hen-fighting game?
Kou Kou felt the silent ridicule from Sakai Katsuko's cold and cold eyes.

That expression, that barefoot, stockings-off, attitude of "If I don't bully you, if I can win a ball, I'll count you as the winner."

At least.

Kou Kou did like to tease Gu Weijing a lot in the past, but at this moment, she was really angry.

Quite cute.

It was that sincere, almost divine sense of companionship that she felt in her heart.

I am also better than you in all aspects.

So she was very satisfied.

Still can't escape the ending of three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

But in her heart, Kou Kou is a girl who loves boldly, hates boldly, is warm and passionate.

Kou Kou has taken private tennis lessons for a few weeks, just like she has taken a lot of extracurricular interest classes in fencing, roller skating, chess, and cooking.

Koko only asked for such a very small thing, sharing such an important and secret space in her heart with him.

She retorted without any anger to show that she didn't need to give in.

A part of Kou Kou's heart admired Miss Sakai a little bit, the moment when Sakai Katsuko opened her arms and stood on tiptoes to hug Gu Weijing into her arms.

Put aside other things.

The way she treats this relationship is also super sincere.

I hope he's fine.

But she played pretty decently, and she was pretty good among ordinary people.

From a certain perspective, Koko is cheerful and lively, while Shengzi is reserved and gentle. However, the two girls actually have certain similarities in their deep-seated personalities.

"You're the master of romance on campus, and you have a good relationship with my boyfriend?" What the hell is this tone of voice from a wealthy lady teasing the vixen who hooked up with her husband! Who do you think I am?"

The most that Kou Kou asked for was just to act out of love and stop at etiquette.

Instead, he tried his best to serve a good shot with a little internal spin.

Just go for a run and chat together.

She was so polite, but she felt so arrogant. She clearly seemed to be saying with a sneer, even if you want to play a flirting game with my boyfriend, even if you think you are the most attractive.

Gu Weijing's mysterious girlfriend turned out to be the daughter of the super painter Kazunari Sakai.

What does this Miss Sakai think of this!
Some kind of flirting method to hook up with a man and make him more interesting?

This is why she thinks she can easily win over Gu Weijing.

more importantly.

I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pig nets. Kou Kou is quite knowledgeable.

She has never seen many casual players who carefully check the racket surface model, hand glue wrapping, racket head center of gravity and the weight of the string when picking up the racket.

Koko guessed that the opponent was checking the power characteristics of the racket and the "sweet spot" of the racket surface.

That is to say, the racket surface can provide sufficient hitting power and ball control at the impact center, the first resonant wave node and the maximum elasticity recovery point.

People who do this are either highly skilled or really knowledgeable.

Koko understands.

The quiet girl opposite is probably a very professional and aggressive person in tennis.

She expected that the level gap between herself and her opponent was similar to the gap between a tennis novice like Gu Weijing and a campus athlete like her.

It's hard to win a round.

But if you are lucky, you may not have a chance to win a ball, especially if the opponent is still playing barefoot and wearing a little red Prada dress, which is more charming than athletic.

Since you want to brag.

Koko is confident in her physical condition.

She doesn't mind at all if the other person blows off his bullshit in front of her boyfriend and is unable to get off the stage.

Really after kickoff.

Kou Kou immediately felt the pressure.

She found that she was still too naive.

Katsuko’s ball speed is not fast, and the arc is not tricky, but it is extremely stable.

It was so steady that she felt frightened.

No matter how fiercely she hits the ball, how she changes her forehand volley or baseline drive, the tennis ball will always be hit back with an almost eternal gentleness.

Even the hitting point and power range are gentle and actively stay in the area where Koko feels comfortable.

This is much more unfathomable than the two sides sweating like rain and screaming like wild beasts.

This means that Ms. Sakai's level is really not even a little bit higher than hers.

The two sides are not even in the same dimension at all.

The rhythm of the game was completely controlled by the opponent. She desperately wanted to win, but Miss Sakai was playing practice ball with her lightly.

It was as if he was really exercising with her.

Every ball says "please don't rush, just take your time".

Ms. Sakai's playing style is like how she feels to many outsiders who are not familiar with her.

Mildness is too polite.

Polite to the point of being cold. Coldness is close to indifference.

She smiles at you.

But I told you with my eyes that you don’t have to get close, because you are... nothing in front of me.

The more gentle and calm Shengzi looked, the angrier Kou Kou became.

The cheerleader bit her lip hard, regretting for the first time in her life that she had attended less classes and didn't study tennis more seriously.
-
The red skirt was flying, and the white soles of her feet moved lightly on the hardened tennis floor, as if they were dancing a ballet.

The pink-white toes and bare arches inevitably rubbed against the dust on the ground, as if the delicate snow-white skin was stained with some fragrant gray dust smoke.

Doesn't look dirty at all.

On the contrary, it has a Zen-like beauty that is as pure as white snow and as soft as spring beauty.

The jade-colored thighs stretched out into graceful curves, looming between the fluttering skirts, making people want to explore. The makeshift ponytail on the head was simply pulled up with a rubber band, which was particularly refreshing.

Watching girls play is a visual treat.

Watching a beautiful girl like Sakai Katsuko play ball barefoot, she looks even more beautiful like a picture scroll, and like a graceful natural elf.

Beautiful is beautiful.

But tennis is a sport that pays great attention to footwork. Bare feet lack the cushioning and support provided by the foam midsoles of tennis shoes, making some movements difficult to perform.

Plus.

Women uniformly wear skirts in professional competitions, but there is a huge difference between a tennis-style miniskirt and this beautiful little red skirt she is wearing.

This skirt doesn't affect my movements that much, but it is still a little in the way.

But Katsuko didn't take these things to heart.

Strong people don't care about external conditions.

This level of confrontational intensity.

For Sakai Katsuko, she is really just playing practice ball with her opponent, and a slightly longer skirt is just the right thing to do without having to worry about the risk of having sex.

A few balls down.

Koko was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, and even the quick-drying clothes on her body were already a little wet, while Miss Sakai only had a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

The difference in physical condition between the two sides is not that big.

Kou Kou was right on this point.

Ms. Sakai has been playing tennis since she was a child, and Kou Kou has always practiced dancing. Kou Kou is slightly taller and has long hands and feet. In theory, her body has a greater advantage when hitting the ball.

If you want to play badminton, table tennis or go for a run.

It’s hard to say who will lose and who will win.

Bibi sings, dances, and Kou Kou is able to charm each other.

But in tennis, Miss Kou Kou, who has always been proud, really kicked it on the iron plate this time.

What she didn't judge correctly was that the skill gap between the two sides was much wider than she imagined.

Katsuko Sakai gently felt the flow of wind on the court.

Tennis star Venus Williams once said - In the tennis world, the first-rate and rarest talent is natural artistic sense, the second-rate talent is mathematical geometry ability, and the third-rate talent is hard work.

The speed of the tennis ball is very high and the court is large.

Therefore, the ball path is very obviously affected by air and humidity.

Some, like the Illinois Open, are windy all year round, and the wind on outdoor tennis courts is often erratic.

Rotating and scraping backwards.

Moreover, the wind will cause stratification problems on the court depending on the humidity in the air and the structural differences of the court.

It may lie close to the ground at a height of about half a meter on the red soil allowing flow.

And above your head, at a height of about three meters, it turns into an unorganized and random wind.

Tennis is a three-dimensional sport.

When it was shuttling between venues at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

After passing through different airflow layers, the path of the ball will not be dramatic, but in the minds of professional players, it is enough to determine the outcome of the game.

This is why many tennis stars may perform well in an early spring match in March, but always perform poorly in a match across the ocean in July.

Or some people perform extremely well in indoor venues, but switching to outdoor venues will make some low-level judgment errors that make the audience laugh and laugh.

The vast majority of tennis players can only calculate the possible movements and deviations of the ball path through repeated adaptation and based on the data analysis made by the coaching staff on the blackboard.

To come to understand the wind and the movement of tennis balls.

Or as Da Fuhua wrote in his tennis essay, "He is always solving a spatial geometric function composed of a quadratic square expansion in his mind." He even turned into a mathematical expert by playing tennis and published a mathematical monograph. .

Excellent tennis talent will teach you to analyze and understand the wind.

Outstanding tennis talent will make you like the wind and become the wind.

Sakai Katsuko's talent for painting and collecting styles gives her a natural artistic sense of grasping the airflow when playing ball.

Catch the air flow, catch the wind.

This is where tennis players and painters completely connect.

What the painter needs to do is to express the invisible gas flows in the air with tangible brushstrokes.

Grass blades, willow branches, dust...

Let the audience feel the natural atmosphere of your pictures.

Tennis players only need you to be able to perfectly embed the jumping, fist-sized nylon and rubber hybrid sphere into these flowing trajectories.

And you're done.

Katsuko Sakai hits the ball easily and freely because the wind is her friend and the wind is batting for her.

According to the NTRP rating, ordinary tennis level can be graded with Arabic numerals from 1.0 to 7.0.

1.0 is for beginners like Gu Weijing.

2.5 is a community-level powerhouse like Kou Kou.

7.0 is a major player who can participate in world open tournaments such as Wimbledon and the Australian Open and rely on competition bonuses to support themselves.

6.0 is generally considered to be the dividing line for the big Pro (professional) level.

That is to say, players with a wide range of levels are replaced by professional painters on Gu Weijing's system panel.

Sakai Katsuko's indoor tennis level is probably around 5.0.

The professional teams of high school students in many small countries in Southeast Asia are at this level. In the ultra-high-intensity competitive sports environment like the United States, they can be regarded as half of campus stars.

But Katsuko Sakai is more adaptable to outdoor venues. Her peak record was once defeating the 5.5-level leader of the girls' school team in a practice match on a windy day.

The opponent really has a youth league ranking.

The kind that can appear in the main story of "The Prince of Tennis".

Regardless of whether the game will be as devastating as the sun and whether it will be able to compete in big games in the future, at the level of 5.5, you can seriously consider taking the professional route.

Don't use three days of fishing and two days of surfing the net as a leisure hobby to challenge the social business card that Mrs. Sakai carefully planned for her daughter.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 5.0 or 5.5.

Even if it is 3.5, it belongs to the wild golf gods in the amateur field.

Give a hand.

It was completely easy to hold down Koko's shaking ball head and rub it on the ground.

Miss Sakai hit the ball with the simplest backhand, and watched Kou Kou finally break up impatiently. The tennis ball was caught by the net and fell back into the opponent's court.

"not bad."

She commented calmly.
