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

Chapter 125 Singles 3, Akutsu vs. Echizen (2nd update)
  "It's Akutsu and Echizen?"

off the field.

After hearing the sound of the radio, Inoue looked in Qingxue's direction unexpectedly.

really.

I saw a young man wearing a white tennis cap walking to the edge of the court with a racket.

the other side.

Ice Emperor direction.

Akutsu, who was tall and tall with upturned gray-white hair, slowly walked to the edge while carrying the racket with an indifferent expression.

"Go ahead."

From the coach's position, Ryuzaki said earnestly: "This opponent is not an ordinary character. According to Qian's intelligence, the opponent easily defeated the Rokkaku Minister 6-1 in the last game."

"I know."

Echizen nodded.

As his contact with Ice King deepened, he became less and less afraid to underestimate this team. You know, even masters like Renzu are placed in doubles positions.

It can be seen how fierce the competition for Ice King's singles position is.

"Akutsu."

Not far away, Sakaki Taro said calmly: "Just fight according to your feeling."

"Ah."

Akutsu nodded slightly.

During his time in Hyokui, his personality had become much more restrained. Of course, the most important thing is that Sakaki Taro respects him enough and is not usually the kind of person who is long-winded.

Akutsu couldn't say he had much respect for this supervisor, but he wouldn't show off to him either.

Subsequently.

He carried the racket and walked towards the court.

before the net.

Two figures, one tall and one short, one gray and one blue, looked at each other.

"senior."

Echizen pulled down the brim of his hat, raised his head and said with a smile, "I heard that you used to be a member of Yamabuki?"

Swish!
  heard.

The Qingxue team members suddenly became nervous.

"Echizen is so unwise."

Kawamura shook his head repeatedly and said: "Akutsu has a very violent personality. If you anger him, you will have to pay an unbearable price!"

"It's okay, Kawamura-senpai."

But Momoshiro said with a smile on his face: "This is a tennis match. After all, the level of tennis will speak for itself. No matter how good Akutsu is, it is impossible for him to take action against Echizen."

call!
  however.

He didn't finish his sentence.

Echizen, who was standing in front of the net, was grabbed by Akutsu's collar and suddenly lifted up.

"Echigan!"

Taocheng and Haitang's expressions changed instantly.

"Hyokuei's!"

Momoro looked angrily at the Ice Emperor's camp not far away: "Do you want to fight?!"

"Ah."

In response to this, Xiangri couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Qing Xue, don't be so nervous. Besides, it was you, the first grade, who provoked me first, so don't look so aggrieved."

"Yes."

Shido, who was holding his hands, also sneered: "That first-year kid doesn't know Akutsu's character. He is the one who is suffering the loss now."

"you."

Momocheng wanted to say something else, but Oishi patted his shoulder. The latter shook his head and said: "Momocheng, Haitang, please calm down. That Akutsu will not do anything inappropriate."

Qian, Fuji and others also nodded.

Outside the competition, if you do something harmful to others, you will be disqualified according to the rules of the competition.

If Hyotei's people weren't stupid, they wouldn't let Akutsu mess around.

"Hey."

However, unexpectedly, Echizen, who was lifted up in the air by Akutsu, smiled and said: "I used to feel it was a pity that I didn't have a good fight with you, senior, in the match with Yamabuki. Now it seems that it's not too late. !”

when speaking.

His eyes met Akutsu's. Faced with the other's indifferent gaze, Echizen seemed completely unaware, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

And off the field.

Qingxue's team members, including Qian and Oishi who were very calm just now, were all worried about Echizen in their hearts.

Even on Hyotei's side, Sakaki Taro couldn't sit still. He didn't expect Qingxue's first-year student to be so arrogant. If Akutsu is really angered and does something with unimaginable consequences, the problem will be huge!
  but.

Surprisingly, Akutsu put Echizen down.

"Little devil."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Akutsu said calmly: "He is right, you are indeed an arrogant guy. I hope you will not disappoint me in this game!"

Done.

He carried the racket, turned around and walked towards the baseline.

"Forehead."

This time it was Echizen's turn to be dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that Akutsu, who was supposed to have a rebellious personality, would let him go so calmly.

He had even made preparations just now. If Akutsu became violent, he would use provoking methods to stimulate the opponent and escape safely.

"that person?"

As if thinking of something, Echizen turned his head and looked at Hyokui's side. His eyes were locked on the black-haired boy.

Take a light breath.

Echizen, who got the right to serve by default, turned around and walked towards the baseline.

"call!"

Crisis resolved.

Inoue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't imagine how this game would end if violence occurred.

If not, the Ice Emperor might even be disqualified from the competition because of this.

"but."

After a pause, he looked at the gray-haired boy with a calm face at the bottom line of the court: "Akutsu and Zaibuki have changed too much."

"Yes."

Zhi couldn't help but nod.

She felt a palpitation in her heart when she remembered Akutsu, who was provoked like a furious beast by Ishikawa during the semi-finals of the last Tokyo competition, when Hyotei and Yamabuki competed.

Echizen is so reckless!

But Akutsu does seem to be a different person.

"why?"

Zhi looked at Hyokui's lineup curiously, and finally locked his eyes on Ishikawa: "Is it because of that person?"

a time.

Including Qingxue's team members, all kinds of speculations emerged in their minds. They remember clearly that at the last Tokyo competition, Ishikawa and Akutsu made a bet that the person who lost the competition had to accomplish one thing.

want to come.

Akutsu joined Hyotei probably because of that bet.

"Akutsu-senpai"

In the audience position on the steps, Taichi, a young man wearing a green headband, said with a complex expression: "After all, did you go to Hyokui?"

Snapped!
  At this time.

Qianshi patted his shoulder, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Taichi. Akutsu has Akutsu's way to go, and besides, haven't you noticed that after going to Hyōtei, his character is much calmer?"

"Well, that's it."

Tan Tai nodded, feeling relaxed.

As Qianshi said, everyone has the freedom to choose their own path. Akutsu, who left Yamabuki and joined Hyotei, may have embarked on the right path.    Clench your fists.

The boy also secretly vowed in his heart that in the future he would become a top player like Hyotei's Ishikawa and Seigaku's Echizen!

"The game begins, and one set determines the outcome."

After confirming the right to serve, the referee looked at the young man wearing a tennis cap at the baseline and said: "Qingxue Echizen serves, the game is over!"

Snapped!
  Snapped!
  Snapped!
  The voice fell.

Then he saw Echizen taking out a tennis ball and playing it gently.

Then, after seeing his opponent's position clearly, he threw the tennis ball up, took off with both feet, and quickly flipped the racket behind his head.

"This is."

Seeing Echizen changing the racket to his right hand, and the jumping serve action was so familiar, the Seigaku trio said in surprise: "Echizen (Ryoma-kun)'s off-spin serve!!!"

Bang!
  The voice fell.

With a crisp sound of hitting the ball, the tennis ball shot out like an arrow. After drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air, he accurately pressed in front of the service line.

Chi Chi
  The tennis ball spins violently.

On Hyotei's side, Shishito raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it the one that bounces towards the face?"

It was the finals of the competition last time.

Echizen once used this serve against Akutagawa in singles 3. At that time, the agile Akutagawa was almost hit in the face by a tennis ball.

Logically speaking, with Akutsu's skill, he shouldn't be hit. But the other party only joined Hyokui after that and had never seen that game.

and.

With Akutsu's arrogant character, even if he knew the change of the ball, he might not fight back in the normal way.

There is still a possibility of losing points.

"This is a first grader."

Thinking of this, Renzu glanced at Echizen thoughtfully: "Is he planning to anger Akutsu in this way?"

Pre-game provocation.

And this intense spinning ball.

This first-year student doesn't look like he wants to compete normally.

Whoosh!

And this time.

The tennis ball spinning close to the ground suddenly bounced up. But what is surprising is that the spinning tennis ball did not bounce towards Akutsu's face, but turned a corner and headed towards his right hand.

"and many more!!"

Seeing this situation, everyone's eyes couldn't help but change.

Even Miki was shocked: "Is this Ishikawa's off-spin serve?!"

This amazing spin was exactly the amazing serve played by Ishikawa and Fuji in the finals of the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition.

No one thought of it.

Echizen actually mastered the secret of this serve.

"Ha ha!!"

After reacting, Horio couldn't help but laugh and said: "This serve from Echizen will definitely be able to score."

Bang!
  however.

His voice did not fall.

A crisp sound of hitting the ball exploded.

"Hit?!"

Qian looked at Hyokui's bottom line in surprise. At this time, Akutsu suddenly hit the tennis ball with his racket.

Whoosh!
  and.

The flight path of the tennis ball was clearly heading towards the position of Echi's backhand.

Tread! !
  Fortunately, Echizen, who has a small step on one foot, can react very quickly. The moment the ball hits the ground after serving, he has already started running towards the landing point of the opponent's ball.

Bang!
  Catch up on tennis.

Echizen counterattacked strongly, and the target was the far outside corner of Akutsu's backhand.

"This is the first year of Qingxue!"

The eyes of most of Ice Emperor's players changed.

Echizen's reaction speed and ball control have also improved a lot compared to the last time he competed.

"As expected of someone Tezuka likes."

On Hyotei's side, Atobe nodded secretly and said: "This first-year Seigaku has very rich competition experience. His coping strategies and action patterns are better than most third-year players."

Atobe also admired Echizen very much.

after all.

Even among third-year players, there are only a few who can defeat Akutagawa. What's more, it's Qing Xue's first year.

"but."

After a pause, Atobe looked at Akutsu with a rather wary look: "In the morning's game, his potential has been stimulated. During the game just now, Ishikawa seemed to find something to say to him. This game is interesting!" "

As for Akutsu, Atobe didn't mind just following Ishikawa's orders. After all, Hua Di only listens to his orders.

What really made Atobe curious was that before the start of the semifinals, Ishikawa found Akutsu and said something to him.

And it was after that that Akutsu, who was originally grumpy, obviously calmed down a lot.

Bang!
  Bang!
  Bang!
  on the field.

The two traded back and forth at the baseline.

Echizen reacts very quickly and controls the ball very well. Almost every ball is aimed at the baseline.

And Akutsu is very explosive. Although Echizen's counterattack was sharp, there was no pressure on him, whose strength was obviously a level higher than what he had been in the competition.

in contrast.

As the game continues.

Echizen, who was originally full of confidence, felt the pressure brought by his opponent, and his eyes gradually changed.

"In that case."

He knew that he would not have an advantage in a protracted battle with the strong Akutsu. Echizen's heart moved, and he suddenly played a short ball, causing Akutsu to quickly hit the net.

Tread! !
  at the same time.

Echizen actually ran towards the net.

When Akutsu hit the short ball, Echizen, who was running, suddenly lowered his posture and glided out in a half-crouch.

Swish!
  Immediately.

He suddenly jumped up, aimed at the tennis ball that Akutsu hit, and swung it with his racket.

Bang!
  The tennis ball was hit by the strong top spin force and quickly ejected. After landing quickly, it ejected high again.

"Appeared."

Seeing this, the Seigaku trio excitedly said: "Echizen (Ryoma-kun)'s whipping ball is B!!!"

Swish!
  however.

The three people just finished speaking.

Akutsu's body shot back like a bullet, he caught up with the tennis ball first, raised his racket and dunked down.

boom!
  A bang.

The tennis ball suddenly passed by Echizen's side and fell to the ground under his shocked gaze.

"0-15!"

In an instant.

The stadium is quiet.

tread.

Akutsu, who landed firmly, glanced at Echizen lightly, turned around and walked towards the bottom line.

"Well."

Faced with the silent contempt of his opponent, the face of this first-year student changed again and again.

Immediately.

Under the surprised eyes of others, he adjusted the brim of his hat, and then smoothly changed the racket from his right hand to his left hand.
