I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 118 Special Tennis, Awakening Akutsu (1st update)
  Snapped!
  A soft sound.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the shot of Kentaro Aoi, the hexagon player, hit the blocking net again.

Sudden change.

Akutsu, who was at the bottom line, froze in his movements. For a moment, he didn't know whether to go online or give up, and finally froze in place.

"Game!"

"Rokkaku Aoi, 1-0, exchange venues!"

"As expected of Kentaro!"

"Oh, well done Kentaro!"

"Well done, let them see how powerful our Hexagonal Center is!"

Outside the stadium.

The supporters in the Hexagon, a group of half-grown children in fifth and sixth grade, excitedly waved their fists.

"hey-hey."

Aoi, who won the first game, touched her head and said with a silly smile: "It's not bad, I'm lucky."

luck?

As soon as the words came out.

Inoue, Shiba and others outside the stadium shook their heads.

They could see clearly that this was not luck. From the first goal scored, Aoi has been using the touch ball to score from Akutsu's hands.

If this is all luck, it would be too exaggerated!

not to mention.

If the number of coincidences increases, it is no longer a coincidence.

"This guy is quite humble."

Seeing that Aoi didn't show off after getting the points, and instead looked like a simple and honest young man, Hyokui's team members couldn't bear any ill will.

Xiang Ri thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "Is there a possibility that this person has a talent similar to Ci Lang?"

"Akutagawa-senpai?"

Feng paused for a moment and then reacted: "Yes, if it is because of the excellent wrist flexibility talent, it can be hit on the blocking net, then it can be explained."

Akutagawa's magic volley has the same effect.

only.

Compared to Akutagawa, this first-year minister in the Rokkaku is more capable of coping. Faced with Akutsu's fierce attacks, he was always able to maintain a stable bottom line defense.

If it were Akutagawa, he would have been defeated long ago.

boom!
  At this time.

Akutsu serves.

This serve was so powerful that the tennis ball fell towards Aoi's backhand like a burning bullet.

Tread! !
  And this time.

Akutsu, who hit the serve, actually chose to go to the net.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Ice King's team members all showed surprise.

They didn't expect that this man could force Akutsu into such a situation. You know, he never chose this tactic when facing Akutagawa and Hiyoshi.

"Are you online?"

Seeing her opponent's actions, Aoi's eyes flashed with surprise. But immediately, he raised the corner of his mouth, raised his racket, aimed at the tennis ball, and then hit it high into the air.

"The lob?"

Seeing this tennis ball flying upwards, the expressions of everyone in Ice Emperor changed slightly.

They didn't expect that the opponent's player would dare to choose to play this kind of ball in front of Akutsu, who had strong jumping ability.

but.

Everyone soon discovered it again.

The height of this lob was indeed a bit too high.

"Is this out of bounds?!"

Xiangri, Taki and others said subconsciously.

"Do not."

Renzu squinted his eyes and said, "The landing point of this lob was aimed at the baseline."

Snapped!
  Immediately.

It seemed to confirm his suspicion.

Aoi's lob actually hit the baseline. That clear white mark made everyone look shocked.

Snap.
  Lob shot lands.

Akutsu, who did not choose to turn around and chase the ball, naturally failed to hit the tennis ball back.

"it turns out."

Shido, Feng and others looked at each other.

"This luck!"

Xiangri also shook his head repeatedly: "That's it. If I were Akutsu, I would be furious right now."

"Shh!"

Taki next to him was so frightened that his face changed. He quickly grabbed Xiangri and made a silencing gesture: "He must be in a bad mood now, so don't irritate him."

"Ugh."

Xiang Ri also reacted and quickly calmed down his expression.

Although Akutsu has only joined Hyokui for half a month, everyone has a preliminary understanding of his character. This person usually lives alone, is decisive in doing things, and generally does not cause trouble.

But if anyone dares to ridicule or mention him accidentally, this wild beast will explode.

And in Ice Emperor.

The only person who can suppress Akutsu is neither Supervisor Sakaki Taro nor Minister Atobe, but Deputy Minister Ishikawa.

therefore.

Almost everyone will ask Ishikawa for help when they accidentally provoke Akutsu.

"Ah."

But at this time, when everyone was silent and did not dare to comment on the ball, Ishikawa smiled and said: "It's wrong to say it was luck. If I guessed correctly, the opponent's player must have aimed at the baseline. .”

"Aim for the bottom line?"

Xianghi, Taki and others all looked over.

"Actually, it's more than just this lob."

Ishikawa looked at Aoi, who was in a posture to receive the serve, and said with a smile: "The tennis ball he touched just now was actually aimed at the blocking net."

"Aim at the blocking net?!!"

Feng looked over with astonishment on his face.

Even Atobe and Renzu looked at Ishikawa in surprise.

Aiming at the bottom line and hitting them is what they believe.

After all, Qingxue Dashi's moon-climbing volley is a unique skill aimed at the bottom line. It's not unusual for the minister in the Hexagon to be able to do this.

But if it were aimed at blocking the net, that would be too exaggerated!

Because no one can guarantee that they will be able to play touch tennis. Once a mistake is made, the ball belongs to the opponent.

For everyone.

Although the benefits of this kind of thing are great, the risks are also very high. Playing this kind of ball exclusively is too risky and the gain outweighs the gain.

"That's what it is."

In the face of everyone's curiosity, Ishikawa smiled and said: "This is the tennis of this Rokkaku chief. When he hits the ball, he puts strong pressure on himself in his heart, suggesting that if he cannot achieve the desired effect, something will happen. Unacceptable outcome."

"Forehead."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"For example, if you can't achieve the desired effect, there will be unacceptable results? What kind of tennis is this!"

Xiang Ri couldn't help but complain.

"Do not."

But Renzu next to him shook his head and said: "Scientifically speaking, when a person's subconscious is subjected to a certain degree of pressure, observation, explosive power, and even touch will be improved to a certain extent."

"Yes."

Atobe also nodded and said: "Many professional athletes will put themselves in a state of excitement before the competition. Most of the first-year students in this hexagon also use this method to put themselves in the 'best state'. "

"The best condition?"

"Putting pressure on yourself?"

"Looking at it this way, this first grader in the Hexagon is indeed quite capable!"

Everyone in Ice Emperor nodded.

When he looked at Xiang Kui again, his eyes changed.

"Have you been spotted?"

Saeki, the deputy director of Rokkaku, after hearing the explanations of Hyokui and everyone, especially Ishikawa, couldn't help but sigh: "This person's insight and intelligence gathering ability are indeed terrifying."

"Ah."

Kuroyu, Tiangen and others nodded.

In the match just now, Ice King's players had the upper hand. Otherwise, Ishikawa would probably take advantage of the intermission to reveal the weaknesses in their hexagon.

This has to make people feel emotional.

Having a top data flow expert can invisibly increase the overall strength of the team, which is quite terrifying.

"However." After a pause, Saeki looked at Aoi on the court and said: "Kentaro's ability, even if the opponent knows the principle, is absolutely impossible to crack."

boom!
  At this time.

Akutsu hit the tennis ball again.

Tread! !
  After hitting the serve, he again refused to give up and chose to go to the net.

"Again?"

Seeing this, Aoi couldn't help but shake her head.

Subsequently.

When he caught up with the tennis ball and stretched out his racket to fight back, he kept putting pressure on himself: "This lob must be hit on the baseline. Otherwise, I may never find a girlfriend in this life."

Swish!
  Thinking like this in my mind.

Aoi raised her racket and prepared to fight back. Under the pressure, her adrenaline subconsciously increased. At the same time, the blood in his body seemed to flow faster.

Bang!
  next moment.

He took action decisively, aimed at the bottom line, and hit the tennis ball over.

"coming!"

"It's another lob!"

"Hey, this guy really aimed for the bottom line!"

Everyone in Ice Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

"Humph!"

Akutsu snorted, braked suddenly, then accelerated in reverse, running towards the bottom line.

Bang!
  Tennis lands.

Akutsu saw with his own eyes that the ball was indeed on the bottom line. His eyes changed slightly, but at the same time he accelerated sharply. After catching up, he turned his back and hit the tennis ball behind him.

Snapped!
  The tennis ball hit the blocking net.

"0-30!"

"Great!"

"Kentaro scores again!"

"That's right, let's end the game in one go."

The supporters in the hexagon waved their little fists excitedly.

"Noisy"

Akutsu, who had lost points continuously and was suppressed by his opponents, felt even more irritated when he heard these voices.

"how."

However, just as he was about to go on stage, a voice rang out: "Senior, this is not your level, is it?!"

Swish!
  This statement came out.

The expressions of everyone in Ice Emperor changed instantly.

But soon, when they saw clearly that the person who said this was Ishikawa, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well."

Akutsu didn't break out either.

In addition to the fact that the speaker was Ishikawa, he also began to think seriously about how to defeat this person.

To some extent.

Aoi Kentaro's fighting style is very restrained against Akutsu.

Unlike Akutagawa, who is good at volleying balls, the opponent's touch balls and lobs are like two gates. They blocked Akutsu's strategies at the bottom line and at the net respectively.

Both ends are blocked.

It seemed that the only option left for Akutsu was defeat.

"Putting pressure on yourself?"

Akutsu narrowed his eyes.

Although he has an unruly personality and is rough and direct in his work. But this does not mean that he is a brainless person.

Quite the opposite.

Akutsu's mind is also very flexible, but because he is too physically gifted, he has never thought of using his brain to play ball.

But as he came into contact with more tennis players and saw various styles of tennis, Akutsu's mentality changed.

It is increasingly unfeasible to rely solely on your body to beat your opponent's style of play.

And this one in front of me.

But they are still only Kanto-level opponents.

Above this person, there are also national-level masters like Atobe and Tachibana. Not to mention, Ishikawa is even more powerful and unfathomable to Akutsu!
  So... things have to change.

Think of this.

A glint flashed in Akutsu's eyes.

Bang!
  immediately.

He hit a powerful serve.

And after serving, quickly step forward.

"Serve and hit the net again?"

"Hasn't this guy suffered enough?"

"No, that's not right, he's not serving and hitting the net, he's preparing to occupy the middle position!"

Everyone in the Rokkaku was still complaining about Akutsu, but Deputy Minister Saeki was keenly aware that Akutsu's tactics had changed.

"Yup!"

off the field.

Shiba said excitedly: "If we occupy that position, no matter whether the opponent plays a lob or touches the tennis ball. With Akutsu's speed, he will definitely be able to catch up."

"Ah."

Inoue nodded.

On the Ice Emperor's side, everyone's expressions became strange.

When did Akutsu choose this method of competition? Is this still the same Akutsu who plays with great speed and uses his speed and physical advantages to defeat his opponents?
  "good."

Sakaki Taro, who was sitting in the coach's seat, nodded with satisfaction.

He only uses his physical talents to play basketball, and no matter how powerful he is, he is just a reckless person. And now, this once-in-a-decade tennis prodigy has finally entered the state of a real tennis player.

"This guy"

Looking at Akutsu who was leaning motionless in the middle position, Aoi's expression changed slightly.

Thus.

His batting effect will undoubtedly be greatly weakened.

but.

Aoi is not an ordinary person after all.

He didn't hesitate, and immediately and decisively hit a lob in mid-air.

"It's useless."

Seeing this, Hyokui's people shook their heads and said: "At this distance, it is not difficult for Akutsu to catch up with Tennis."

Tread! !
  really.

After clearly seeing his opponent's lob, Akutsu also turned around. However, to everyone's expectation, Akutsu, who caught up with the tennis ball, did not speed up to surpass the tennis ball, but chose to hit the ball with his back.

"If this ball can't be hit, what's the difference between me and a waste?"

"If you can't even hit this kind of ball and you still want to beat that guy, it's just ridiculous!"

"So... come over here!"

Many thoughts flashed through Akutsu's mind.

He actually kept exerting psychological pressure on himself, and then decisively slapped the racket over.

boom!
  Just listen to a bang.

The tennis ball was whipped back by Akutsu and flew over the blocking net. At an astonishing speed, it suddenly hit the backcourt.

Bang!
  Tennis lands.

Aoi, who was standing on the other side, subconsciously shrank her pupils after seeing where the tennis ball landed.

"15-30!"

The referee spoke.

Everyone in the Ice Emperor suddenly woke up from their stunned state.

"ice King!"

"ice King!"

"ice King!"

The members of the support team shouted slogans excitedly.

"Well."

Atobe and Renzu took a deep look at Akutsu. Just now, they actually felt an extremely strong aura from Akutsu's body.

Even if it's fleeting.

But it was still captured by two people with sharp eyes.

"Oh?"

Ishikawa looked at Akutsu, who slowly turned around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes became sharper, and couldn't help but smile: "Has that beast-like will finally awakened?!"
