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

Chapter 430: Three consecutive wins, defeating the Greek team

boom! ! !
The shocking explosion sounded throughout the stadium.

Whoosh!
Immediately.

Within people's sight, all they saw was a blue and white figure, flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.

bump!
There was a muffled sound.

Under the shocked gaze of the Greek team, Zeus' body hit the wall behind him. The color of his face instantly changed from white to blue, and then turned red.

After landing.

Zeus' body was shaking and his legs were trembling, as if he would collapse at any time.

"Game!"

"Japanese team, 2-3!"

immediately.

The referee announced the score.

The entire stadium fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at Zeus in doubt. They were all wondering what kind of shot could have made the Greek team's captain, who was comparable to a professional player, so embarrassed.

"hiss"

At this time.

Orion, the junior high school student representative of the Greek team, seemed to have discovered something, and stared at the place where Zeus had stood. When the smoke dissipated, a broken deep pit appeared in front of everyone.

Then, the sound of people gasping for air kept being heard.

“I bought it!!!”

“Isn’t this too exaggerated?”

"Can tennis balls cause such terrible damage?"

Most of the spectators around the court were terrified by the scene before them. Especially many spectators who had never been exposed to high-level tennis before felt that their worldviews had been completely overturned.

"Commander!"

At this time.

Hermes looked at the boy who had re-entered the court with concern: "Are you okay?"

Even a fool could see that Zeus would not be unharmed after the heavy blow he had just received. However, Hermes and other Greek players, including Laerceus, had completely lost their composure.

Because they could never imagine that, in their hearts, Zeus, who was like the invincible god king in ancient Greek mythology, would be suppressed to such a state.

"I am fine."

Zeus waved his hands, trying to restore his usual calm demeanor. However, the smile he forced out did not seem as natural as usual, but rather a little stiff.

It's not his fault.

Because at this moment, Zeus' mind was still lingering with the terrifying figure that he had just seen in the depths of the smoke, like a Shura ghost.

"Onii-Jujiro!"

Taking a deep breath, Zeus turned his gaze to the mature young man opposite him with fiery red hair and fierce looks.

This moment.

He felt unprecedented pressure.

The opponent's strength had definitely reached the advanced professional level. Especially the terrifying power of ghosts and gods, which easily broke his powerful [Olympia Rainbow Light].

That feeling.

It was like a barrier protected by gods, which was easily torn apart by black arms covered with solidified magma.

The two of them are no longer on the same level.

"His strength has definitely reached the level of a Big 4 commander!"

Zeus felt the pressure.

but.

He was the man who was responsible for the team's success, but he had no time to think about himself. He endured the discomfort in his chest, abdomen and back, spread his legs, and took a posture of readiness, looking at his opponent with a serious look.

This moment.

Zeus was clearly ready to risk his life.

boom!
ten minutes later.

Accompanied by a shocking explosion, a figure was pushed out of the court.

Snap.
immediately.

A charred tennis ball rolled off Zeus's racket.

There were two very clear friction marks on the ground, representing that Zeus tried his best to resist the ghost in the duel, but was ultimately defeated and pushed out by the violent force.

watch carefully.

The shoes on Zeus' feet even had traces of burnt black. It was hard to imagine how much he paid to resist the ball from the devil.

"competition is over."

At the same time, the referee's voice rang out: "Japanese team's Oni Jujiro wins, the score is 6-0!"

Pfft!
The words fell.

Zeus's strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and he fell forward uncontrollably. Finally, with his last bit of willpower, he used the racket to support his body.

Everyone could see Zeus's hands shaking violently. At this moment, he was exhausted because of the violent hitting by the ghost.

"Lord Zeus?"

At this moment.

Apollo Stephanopoulos, who had just gone out for warm-up, returned to the court and happened to see Zeus in such a state of embarrassment. This outstanding junior high school student on the Greek team immediately felt his heart tremble and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Where was the crucial match in which the Greek team was supposed to make a comeback?

He also hoped that through this match, the name of his family of executioners would be known to the world, and he would use the singles 2 match to prove himself.

It ended right after I came back?
"Ok?"

Suddenly.

His eyes met with a boy with long blue-black hair and glasses in the Japanese team area. Seeing the other party's cold eyes, Apollo, the descendant of a family of executioners, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"That guy's eyes are so scary!"

This moment.

He suddenly felt somewhat relieved. He was relieved that Zeus did not win, otherwise, his ending might not be much better than the guys in the previous three games.

"huhuhuhu"

At this time.

Zeus, who was almost exhausted, gritted his teeth and walked to the front of the net. Looking at the tall ghost, he took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me, who is stronger, you or your commander Ishikawa Shin?"

"Well"

No one would have thought that Zeus, who was known as one of the top geniuses in Europe, would ask such a question.

He could remain silent and not answer.

However, after seeing the other party's clear and slightly anxious eyes, Gui thought for a moment and said, "He is the strongest player on the Japanese team!"

"Thanks. I understand."

Zeus nodded heavily to the ghost, and his expression suddenly became melancholy. Then, he dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards the direction of the Greek team.

"Commander!"

Seeing Zeus's low spirits, Hermes immediately said, "Winning and losing is normal. Even a player like Novak Brynner cannot guarantee victory in all battles."

Zeus is only 15 years old. The next World Cup in two years will be his strongest form as a high school student.

Hermes, who is already 17 years old, does not want the failure of this game to undermine the self-confidence of his opponent.

"I know."

Zeus shook his head, but couldn't help showing a bitter smile on his face: "Senior Hermes, I just think... I am too naive."

"Commander!"

Hermes' expression changed again.

He clearly heard a hint of disinterest in Zeus' words. The man in front of him had completely lost his previous confidence and composure, as if in an instant, he had been knocked down from the invincible God King to the mortal world and turned into an ordinary person.

"Don't worry, I won't give up tennis."

At this time, Zeus shook his head and showed a smile full of expectation: "With so many outstanding players, how could I give up something as interesting as tennis?" After experiencing this failure, his state of mind improved a little. On the basis of the so-called omniscience and omnipotence, he took a step forward.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Having said that, Zeus turned his head and glanced at the resting area where Gui and the others were. He then raised his head and looked far behind, where Ishikawa and other representatives who had nothing to do with this competition were.

"This year's Japanese team is more terrifying than anyone else imagined!"

"The group match between Greece and Japan has now concluded. Japan won 3-0 and has 1 point in Group B."

After a while.

The referee announced the result of the game.

The fans of the Japanese team cheered excitedly, while the fans of the Greek team seemed extremely quiet.

but.

Perhaps because of Zeus's carefree performance, the Greek team lost the game, but the overall situation was not too depressing.

"Let's go."

Zeus, who had regained some of his spirit, smiled and said, "It's time to go back and have a good rest. We have another match with the Australian team in the afternoon."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

Although they all knew that the Greek team would most likely be eliminated in the first round of the World Cup this year, Zeus' emotions could still infect them, and even the subtle influence was deeper than before.

the other side.

The [Ghost] team also joined Ishikawa and others under the leadership of the ghost. Because there was no game in the afternoon, the Japanese team returned to the hotel after the game.

Perhaps because of the victory in the first game, the coaching staff lowered their expectations for everyone. Mifune even made an exception, saying that as long as the players came back during the scheduled rest time, it would not be considered a violation.

then.

All the players praised the head coach for his wisdom and left the hotel one after another, wandering around Melbourne.

Of course, some people choose to maintain their training pace.

"Ochi-senpai, are you there?"

In the hotel corridor, a young man with silver-gray hair knocked on the door of a room.

"Please come in."

After a moment, a cold voice came from inside.

The young man, Shiraishi, the minister of Shitenhoji Temple, opened the door and saw Ochi sitting at the desk in the hotel, reading a tennis magazine.

"senior."

After entering the room, Shiraishi walked up to Ochi and said solemnly, "I want to further improve my strength before tomorrow's game. So, I went to consult Ishikawa-kun. He told me that only you can help me, so please!"

Done.

Shiraishi bowed deeply to Ochi.

"Ishikawa?"

Yue Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then, he looked at Bai Shi again, and felt the sincerity in his eyes. He thought about it, nodded and said, "I understand."

Four p.m.

Court 14 at Melbourne Park.

The match between the host Australia (18) and Greece (10) ended in four games, with Australia winning with a total score of 3-1.

After the game.

The atmosphere of the Greek team seemed very low for a while. This meant that they not only lost in the first round of the World Cup, but also lost all three games, ending this World Cup journey in the most embarrassing manner.

"It's okay, guys."

Seeing everyone's low spirits, Hermes said, "I believe that this experience will make many of you stronger for the World Cup in two years!"

Apollo, Orion, Evangelos and others showed slight emotion. Many other first-year high school players also felt relieved.

Yes.

Although they failed this year, two years later, Greece U17 will be the strongest. By then, with Zeus's talent, he will definitely become a professional player in the true sense.

They, the Greek team, may even replace other teams and become the new big4!

"Tsk!"

But at this moment, a mocking voice extinguished their beautiful fantasy: "They are just a group of stray dogs. They can't even beat our second team, and they are still dreaming about the future. It's ridiculous!"

Swish!
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

But they only saw a white young man with a crew cut and holding a Dalmatian, standing not far away, looking at them with contempt.

"What did you say?"

Apollo and Orion, who were from the executioner family, immediately glared at him.

"Why, are you so angry because I hit you in the sore spot?"

The young man with the crew cut, JJ Gorgias, the representative of the Australian team, said with a playful look on his face.

He was arrogant and overbearing by nature, and never showed mercy when speaking, especially to those who, in his opinion, were just making excuses to cover up their mistakes. Naturally, he would show no mercy when mocking them.

"Bastard!"

At this time.

Hercules was also angry. He took a step forward and stared at the other man fiercely: "You'd better take back what you just said, otherwise..."

"What else?"

Gorgias smiled.

This is his favorite thing to do. After irritating his opponent, he would use his powerful strength to teach him a lesson and enjoy the fun.

Gorgias was naturally very happy to see someone from the other team come forward. He even saw the shock and awe on the faces of the other Greek players after he severely taught the bearded man a lesson.

"Sir, let's stop here."

But at this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded.

Ok?
Gorgias looked over with a frown.

But he only saw a young man who was only about 1.5 meters tall, surrounded by a crowd, looking at him and said, "This year's game has nothing to do with us. But the Australian team's game will continue."

"cut."

Unexpectedly, Gorgias sneered and said, "I don't care about the competition. In comparison, I am more interested in you guys."

As he said this, he glanced at Zeus with a playful look.

Unexpectedly, the latter smiled and said to him: "But, sir, are you really not interested in the Australian team's game?"

Swish!
This glance.

As if it was pointing directly into Gorgias' heart, the strong impact made his heart beat faster instinctively. Deep in his heart, an inexplicable fear emerged uncontrollably.

“W-What kind of look is that? Wait, wait, I can’t move?!”

Gorgias was horrified.

It was the first time he encountered someone who could immobilize him with just a glance.

"Zeus? Zeus Iliopoulos! One of the top talents in European tennis?!"

Suddenly.

Gorgias couldn't help but think of the most promising tennis players in the future that his brother had mentioned. He didn't take it seriously at first, but now he truly realized how terrifying these people were.

"Let's go."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Zeus said something lightly and led the Greek team's players off the field.

"Well"

A long time after the other party left, Gorgias, who had just recovered his mind, couldn't help but feel a thick haze in his heart.

"How could such a group of people lose to the Japanese team?"

Take a deep breath.

Gorgias's eyes turned serious.

"Perhaps I should go find Noah and ask for advice on the game tomorrow morning."
