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

Chapter 423: The Double Battle of Old Rivals, Tezuka and Sanada

"How, how is it possible?!"

Evangelos, who had just broken through, looked at the other 'Kimijima Ikuto' at the opposite baseline with astonishment.

“It’s like a phantom.”

The bearded Hercules was also very shocked.

As for the players outside the court, they just realized what was happening. Evangelos's mistake was not accidental, but was influenced by another 'Kimijima'.

"so"

Hermes narrowed his eyes and said, "This person is not only simply imitating others, but also transforming into someone else like an illusion?"

"phantom?"

Staff Officer Larhu was shocked.

If that's the case, isn't it too scary?
But if that's not the case.

How to explain the two Kimijima Ikuto appearing on the court at the same time? Because if you don't look carefully, you can't recognize Nioh's true form.

“It’s not unfair that they lost.”

At this time, Zeus suddenly said something with emotion.

Everyone turned around to look at him, but he just shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the player named Niou Masaharu was able to 'phantom' someone else because he had thoroughly studied his opponent's mentality."

"Forehead."

Hear the words.

The twin brothers Apollo and Orion were still confused: "Lord Zeus, what do you mean?"

The other few people also looked confused.

They could hear something behind Zeus' words, but they didn't know what it was about.

"Mindset? Heart? Could it be..."

At this time.

Hermes suddenly reacted and looked at Ren Wang on the court with a surprised face: "If this is true, then this person's doubles is too scary, right?"

"Senior."

Apollo, who had spoken with great confidence before, now felt a blockage in his head after listening to the conversation between the two, as if he needed to grow a new brain.

"homology!"

Staff Officer Larxiu said with a serious expression.

homology?

Upon hearing this word, Apollo and Orion, who were originally a little confused, suddenly contracted their pupils.

As a doubles team, they know very well what this word means.

"That is to say."

Brother Apollo said solemnly: "He can synchronize with his phantom player at any time."

This also explains why Zeus said that Hercules and Evangelos deserved their defeat.

Fighting for a long time.

The opponent's players did not show their full strength at all. If they continue to play the second set in this state, the Greek team will probably lose again.

"call."

Thinking of this, Apollo was visibly relieved.

He was very glad that he was not unlucky enough to meet these two people. Otherwise, even if the brothers used such terrible tricks, they would definitely lose.

"Don't think too much, brother."

Orion smiled and lowered his voice and said, "This is not entirely a bad thing for us."

"Uh, indeed."

Apollo was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

The disastrous defeat in doubles 2 was a huge blow to the morale of the Greek team. Under such circumstances, if the brothers could win doubles 1, they would surely shine in front of the Greek team captain and coach.

He completely defeated Evangelos who had awakened the [Silver Light].

"Next, the doubles 1 match will begin."

"Greece's Apollos Stephanopoulos (3rd grade) and Orion Stephanopoulos (2nd grade) versus Japan's Kunimitsu Tezuka (3rd grade) and Genichirō Sanada (3rd grade)."

"Please prepare both players."

As soon as the words fell, Apollo and Orion from the Greek team couldn't wait to get on the court.

tread!
And the other side.

In the direction of the Japanese team, Tezuka tied his shoelaces and walked into the court calmly with a racket in hand. Sanada, wearing a black baseball cap, appeared on the court with an indifferent expression.

“These two guys humph!!”

Apollo and Orion laughed when they saw the identities of Tezuka and Sanada marked on the information.

Junior high school student!
How dare the coach and captain of the Japanese team do that?

To face the top ten Greek team in the world, they actually dared to put two junior high school students in doubles 1. This is simply a joke!

Of course, they were arranged in doubles 1, and it was definitely not because the Greek team's main player and coach wanted to sacrifice them. It was because of their unique identity that they could shine in the world championship.

But what are the two people on the Japanese team relying on?
Do you really think that everyone is Ishikawa and everyone has the ability of Niou Masaharu?
Do not make jokes!
Apollo narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them: "It's time for you to experience the methods of the ancient Greek execution family!"

"and many more!!"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Ok?
Everyone looked back, only to see a young man with long blond hair standing out with a serious expression.

"H-Hermes-senpai?"

Apollo and Orion were stunned.

"referee."

But Hermes didn't even look at them. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the referee: "I request a change in the roster!"

"what?"

"W-what does this mean?"

"Roster changes? Do the World Cup rules allow for temporary changes of players?"

In the stands, the junior high school students of the Japanese team were stunned.

"There are really no rules or restrictions on this."

Guan Yue glanced at the World Cup rules in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Besides, this kind of thing happens every year in the World Cup. However, each party only has one chance to change in each game."

“If both parties are qualified, there will be no problem.”

Yagyu nodded and said, "If one side requests to change a player, the other side can just follow suit. Generally speaking, it won't have any impact on the outcome of the game."

"Looking at this situation, the Greek team has realized that something is wrong."

Guan Yue smiled and said, "Unfortunately, there is no point in them changing players. No matter how hard they struggle in a game they are bound to lose, it will be in vain."

Japan's strength is far beyond others' imagination.

This was proven in the warm-up match. Unlike what others imagined, the Japanese team sent out the strongest lineup in the warm-up match, but they actually hid a considerable part of their strength.

Not only did the high school students Byodoin and Oni not appear, but the junior high school students Tezuka, Yukimura, and Sanada were also well hidden.

This game.

The Greek team's plan was doomed to fail.

"Cough cough."

After a moment, the referee said, "Due to the substitution of the Greek team, the players for doubles 1 in this match have changed to Hermes Kounellis (high 3) and Vulcan Larsius (high 3)!"

"Is there any mistake?"

Seeing the change in the selection, some fans of the Greek team frowned: "Hermes was actually arranged in doubles 1, what about the remaining three singles?"

"Yes."

Someone nearby also said worriedly: "Zeus is indeed very strong, but he alone can't change the decline of singles, right?"

"The specific situation is unclear, but since they arranged it this way, they must have their reasons."

Some people also believed in the decision of the Greek team's high school students. Especially Hermes, he was a well-known "wise man" in the Greek team. He never did anything without a purpose. Since he took the initiative to propose it, he must have foreseen something.

"Damn it."

Looking at the backs of Hermes and Laerce as they appeared, Orion gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Master Hermes thinks too highly of these two guys."

"Yes."

Apollo also had a face full of resentment: "With the strength of our two brothers, we can definitely deal with them."

That's right.

The brothers' playing style was too bloody and violent, but this was common in the World Championship. It was normal for players who were under pressure from their country to do something overly violent when they were forced into a desperate situation.

and.

If Apollo and Orion can defeat their two opponents with bloody means, they can also intimidate the other players of the Japanese team to a certain extent.

Although the Greek team is not a strong team at the big 4 level, they are not someone that anyone can humiliate.

Unfortunately.

The two brothers swallowed back their complaints unwillingly. They had no choice, as they knew the strength of Hermes and Laerce.

Especially Hermes, as the No.17 of Greek U2 and also a senior player, his prestige in Greek U17 has reached the top level in recent years.

If he had not sacrificed himself for the sake of unity, with his strength and fame, it would not be impossible for him to compete for the No. 1 position.

"How about it?"

After entering the court, Hermes said to Laerce beside him.

“He is definitely not an ordinary player.”

Staff officer Larxiu nodded: "Their expression didn't change at all when facing the high school students. This confidence is not fake. These two people are not simple!"

"Ah."

Hermes nodded slightly.

The reason for the substitution was that he had anticipated that the Greek team would most likely lose the Doubles 1 match, which would further dampen the mentality of the players.

in contrast.

If the two of them come forward and win the game in doubles 1, the pressure on the Greek team in singles will be much less.

After all, they did come prepared this time. Not only Zeus and Hermes, but other top-ranked high school students were also arranged to appear.

"I'll deal with them later, and you'll be responsible for collecting information."

Looking at his opponent, Hermes continued, "I'm afraid these two are ranked quite high among the junior high school students on the Japanese team. We need more information about their junior high school students!"

"I see."

Lalhu nodded heavily.

soon.

After both sides entered the court, they made a simple guess about the sides and then retreated to their respective positions.

"The match will be decided in one set."

"In the first game, Greece's Larsius serves, and the game ends!"

After the referee on the high chair finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the tall young man at the baseline of the Greek team.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
He bent down and gently tapped the tennis ball, then looked at the boy in the baseball cap again and again and threw the tennis ball high into the air.

"Then let me see your reaction speed!"

Bang!
immediately.

Larsius hit the tennis ball quickly.

In everyone's eyes, they only saw a light yellow trace flashing by. When they looked again, the tennis ball was shot into the ground at an extremely tricky angle.

Swish!
And this time.

Sanada suddenly appeared in front of the tennis ball. He raised his racket, locked onto the tennis ball, and made a hitting motion.

Whoosh!

But that's it.

The tennis ball bounced off the ground and rotated in the opposite direction at an extremely strange angle.

"This is."

Seeing this familiar scene, the Japanese junior high school students in the stands all had the same idea in their minds.

"Innocent Tails!"

This was the powerful serve from the high school student named Hercules in the doubles match. Even Kimijima was caught off guard and his opponent scored.

"Ah."

Hearing the shocked voices from the crowd, the bearded Hercules couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Laertius performs this trick better than me."

The two of them, including many high school students on the Greek team, learned this move from their old coach, but the only one who could really master the essence of this serve was Vulcan Larsius.

really.

The tennis ball's rotation changes dramatically, causing its position after turning to become erratic.

"A cross-court spin?"

Seeing this, Sanada narrowed his eyes into a line.

Swish!
Subsequently.

Under the shocked gazes of others, his figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of the tennis ball.

"what?!"

Seeing this, the brothers Apollo and Orion immediately changed their expressions.

too fast!
They didn't even see clearly how the other party moved. Isn't this kind of footwork too amazing?
Crack!

Suddenly.

Lightning flashed.

But all I saw was Sanada holding the racket high with both hands, aiming at the tennis ball and chopping it down fiercely.

boom!
In an instant.

Arcs of light surged like lightning.

The tennis ball flew toward the side of the court at an astonishing speed.

too fast!
Even the usually calm Laerciu had no time to react. Seeing the tennis ball about to bounce off the ground, the Japanese team directly received the serve and scored, and many Greek fans were nervous.

Swish!
But the next moment.

A silver racket suddenly swung out, and after it hit the target, there was a crisp bang, and the tennis ball shot out again. And the speed was so fast that it was not slower than the lightning-like shot.

"It's Hermes!"

At this time, Yanagi, who had just recovered from his shock, said in surprise: "Is this the strength of a top high school student? Genichirō's Thunder was actually cracked just like that?"

Snapped!
but.

At this moment.

Sanada swung his racket and lightly cut the ball, so that the moment the tennis ball touched the racket, the rotation and force on it were completely neutralized. The tennis ball bounced out lightly, as gentle as an autumn leaf.

"Is this the trick from before?"

Seeing this ball, the eyes of Hermes and Laerce changed.

Especially the former.

He was ready to launch a strong counterattack against his opponent for the second time. He never expected that his move would be so easily neutralized.

Snap.
Looking at the tennis ball rolling to the ground and bouncing gently, both Laerce and Hermes' faces darkened.

"Well."

Larxu looked at his opponent with a serious expression: "This man's skills are even better than that of Niou Masaharu!"

Originally they thought that the strength of the phantom and the real body should be very close.

But now it seems that this idea is undoubtedly wrong.

Nioh was unable to replicate all of Sanada's strength. This junior high school student wearing a black baseball cap was stronger than they had imagined!
