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

Chapter 436 Singles 3, Atobe vs. Gorgias
"T-this kind of power?!"

Seeing that Fitzgerald and Hopeman's rackets were knocked out of their hands by this ball, the Australian players all showed expressions of disbelief.

"A tennis dimension with super-supergravity?"

Fitzgerald's pupils flickered.

At that moment, he felt an extremely powerful and terrifying aura that seemed to crush him completely. This aura happened to overlap with the one Duke had just released.

In other words.

This junior high school student named Kintaro Toyama really possesses the extraordinary tennis ability that is enough to make him a professional!
Immediately.

The captain and vice-captain of the Australian team looked at each other and saw the helplessness and deep shock in each other's eyes.

They deserved to lose this game!

"Is it so?"

In the audience, Noah's face was very solemn. He didn't expect that his careful planning would lead to such a change.

Two consecutive defeats.

This is really ugly for the Australian team.

But this is not entirely Noah's fault, because he could never have imagined that the former French team's wrecking ball would be arranged in doubles.

and.

Duke's tactics were also very clever.

Its terrible power might be blocked by the [Iron Wall Guardian], but Duke held back, hanging like a sword of Damocles over Fitzgerald and Hopeman's heads.

This forced the two to distract themselves during the game and pay attention to and guard against Duke's sudden outbursts.

This way.

The two players of the Australian team, no matter how strong their doubles skills were, were invisibly weakened by 20 to 30 percent.

Plus the strength of the distant mountains.

And there was Duke’s unexpectedly short ball at the end.

There is no doubt that this doubles team of the Japanese team is very strong. Duke is strong and Yuanshan is full of potential. Even the top doubles combination may not be able to beat them.

It can be said.

In this doubles match, it was not unfair for the Australian team to lose.

"In the final analysis, it's because our overall strength is not strong enough."

Noah sighed.

No matter how strong his calculation ability is, it is meaningless because the overall strength of the Australian team is far weaker than that of its opponents.

After losing two games in a row, even the most optimistic people would not think that the Australian team can turn defeat into victory.

tread!
but.

at this time.

A figure stood at the edge of the court.

"Gorgias?"

The Australian team focused their attention on the opponent. Feeling the overwhelming aura from him, everyone was shocked.

After suffering two consecutive defeats and the team's morale plummeting, no one expected that the opponent would still maintain such a high fighting spirit.

"That. Gorgias"

Fitzgerald sighed and said, "The game has come to this point, we have already..."

He wanted to persuade the other party to let things take their own course and face reality, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Because both his identity and the most basic qualities as a tennis player prevent him from saying such words.

"We haven't lost yet!"

Gorgias spoke calmly. Then, he turned his gaze to the confused blond young man and said in a deep voice, "Crawford, stop standing there and warm up!"

"I, I, I understand."

The blond young man named Amon Crawford took a deep breath and nodded heavily to Gorgias. Then he picked up his racket and walked out of the court to find a place to warm up.

The others looked at Gorgias in awe.

At this moment, they felt something in each other that they had never felt before. In the moment of crisis for the team, this guy who was usually arrogant and domineering did not mock or abandon the team.

in contrast.

The other party showed the temperament of a team leader.

Looking at the opponent's tall figure, a hint of excitement appeared in the eyes of the Australian team.

They haven't lost yet.

Australia. There is still a great possibility!
tread!
That's when.

In the opponent's court area, an equally tall figure with purple-gray hair walked to the edge of the court with calm steps.

"Now, the singles 3 match is about to begin."

"JJ Gorgias (senior 3) representing the Australian team versus Keigo Atobe (junior 3) representing the Japanese team."

"Please prepare both players."

As the referee finished speaking, everyone's attention was instantly focused on the handsome young man on the Japanese team's side.

"It's him?"

Gorgias also locked his gaze on the other person. He had never expected that the person he would meet in Singles 3 would be this guy.

"Junior high school student?"

Gorgias narrowed his eyes.

If it was before, he would definitely look down on such an opponent. But after seeing the extraordinary junior high school students of the Japanese team, he put away his contempt.

and.

The opponent is a chess player who can defeat Noah once and win once. He is not an ordinary character.

Atobe was also very cautious.

This was his first match in a World Cup final and his first singles match on the world stage.

In the previous warm-up match with the German team, he had the expert Ochi at the front. But now, he had to rely on himself to face the top players of the Australian team.

In front of the net.

The two sides looked at each other.

As if they could sense each other's will, the two nodded to each other and looked at the staff next to them at the same time.

The latter nodded, stepped forward to flip a coin, and asked the two for their choice. In the end, Atobe got the serve. The two then stepped back and entered their respective positions.

"The match will be decided in one set."

Sitting on the high chair, the referee looked towards Atobe at the baseline and said in a deep voice, "Atobe from the Japanese team serves, game over!"

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
The words fell.

Everyone looked towards the baseline, where the tennis ball was being hit.

"This guy"

The black youth, Hopeman, narrowed his eyes and said, "This kind of calmness is not fake. His strength is probably extraordinary!"

"Ah."

Fitzgerald nodded.

The two games had shown him how terrible the junior high school students on the Japanese team were. The man in front of him could play the singles 3 position, which showed that he was quite capable.

but.

They were not worried about Gorgias.

Although he was arrogant and had a bad reputation in the Australian team, his position in the team was unshakable. The reason for this was his strong tennis skills.

In the view of Fitzgerald and others, as long as Gorgias plays steadily and does not underestimate the opponent, they have a high chance of winning this game.

call!
At this time.

Atobe threw the tennis ball up.

Then, he quickly pressed his body down and then immediately pulled it up. At the same time, his left foot turned outward, so that the strength of his upper body was concentrated on the right hand holding the racket.

Bang!
immediately.

Then he hit the tennis ball out quickly.

In everyone's sight, they only saw a flash of light yellow, which was so fast that it was shocking.

"This guy"

"What a great serve!"

“It’s just like a textbook standard!”

Everyone on the Australian team, including the surrounding fans, were shocked by Atobe's serve.

Even junior high school students like Mark and Miluk, who had super high-speed serves, looked at Atobe with a hint of fear.

Because the opponent's serve is not only fast, but also extremely tricky.

Bang!
Just saw the tennis ball fall to the ground.

It was actually pressed at the intersection of Gorgias' right serving line and the singles side line.

Such courage and skills made many high school students on the Australian team feel their scalps tingling.

"Nice serve."

But at this time, Gorgias appeared in front of the landing point of the tennis ball. He quickly glanced at Atobe on the opposite side, and as he swung the racket, he said, "I think your strength should be more than this, come at me with all your strength, junior high school student!" Bang!
The words fell.

He hit the tennis ball hard.

Tap! !
opposite.

Atobe quickly moved towards the tennis ball.

Almost at the moment the tennis ball hit the ground and bounced back, he approached the tennis ball and raised his hand to hit it.

Bang!
This ball.

Accurately pressed on the sideline on the other side.

"hiss!"

Seeing the extremely sharp arc when it bounced back from the ground, many people took a deep breath again.

The game had just begun, but they could already sense an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Wasn't this junior high school student from the Japanese team too strong?

Tap! !
Gorgias ran over quickly.

Although he reacted quickly, he was still caught off guard by Atobe's return shot. In the end, he could only hit the tennis ball before it hit the ground again.

Swish!
but.

The opponent, who had seized the initiative, jumped high and made a smash move.

"not good!"

Gorgias's face changed.

He quickly retreated, trying to gain a suitable space to fight back.

Snapped.

however.

No one thought of it.

Atobe suddenly changed his action, changing the smash to a slice, and hit a standard short ball.

Snap.
Looking at the tennis ball bouncing slightly in front of the net, the Australian team members outside the court and the fans in the surrounding stands all widened their eyes without exception.

now.

The stadium suddenly became extremely quiet.

Only the sound of the light breeze blowing from outside and the sound of Atobe's clothes fluttering could be heard.

"15-0!"

The referee on the high chair spoke.

The originally silent atmosphere was just broken.

"Is it a fake move?"

Fitzgerald's eyes showed solemnity.

The purple-gray-haired teenager undoubtedly displayed the composure and calmness of a top player throughout the entire process, from his serve to the breathtaking short ball at the end.

If they didn't know that the other person was a junior high school student, they would probably think that he was the top high school representative of the Japanese team.

That confident and calm aura seemed to be engraved in his bones, emanating naturally from the inside out.

"Atobe Keigo."

Gorgias also looked deeply at his opponent.

At this moment, he recalled the various situations during the game in his mind and kept analyzing his mistakes in the previous goal.

Obviously.

The other party is very insightful.

Almost at the same time as Gorgias hit back, the opponent had already seen through the ball's path. Therefore, he was able to hit the tennis ball into the corner for the second time in a very short time.

"Insight, speed, reaction, tennis skills."

Quickly reviewing the previous duel, Gorgias made a preliminary assessment of his opponent in his mind: "He should be an offensive player."

Change to the past.

Gorgias would undoubtedly choose to fight back, using the same fierce attack to give his opponent a hard time.

But at this moment, he was carrying the last hope of the Australian team. In addition, what Noah said to him before setting off in the morning made Gorgias subconsciously suppress his inner thoughts.

Swish!
immediately.

Then he spread his legs, lowered his body center of gravity, and took a posture ready for battle.

"Gorgias"

The other members of the Australian team also noticed his abnormality, and everyone showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Fitzgerald showed a look of relief on his face, because he knew that the words the opponent said before the game were definitely not spoken on a whim.

Bang!
At this time.

Atobe hit the tennis ball again.

Gorgias responded calmly. After hitting the tennis ball back, he stared at his opponent and said, "Come on, let me see how perceptive you are!"

He is very confident.

With his own strength, he could definitely handle any possible situation. So, he prepared to face off with Atobe in terms of insight and reaction.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
As if sensing the provocation from his opponent, Totoro accelerated his offensive with several consecutive shots.

but.

But they were counterattacked by the other side.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
But soon.

However, Jibe increased his attack speed again.

He was hitting the ball more and more frequently, and what was even more surprising was that the quality of his hitting did not decline at all.

"Well."

Gorgias narrowed his eyes.

He clearly felt the pressure, as the opponent's reaction speed was faster than he had imagined. Moreover, his insight was also extremely terrifying, and almost every ball hit him in a very uncomfortable position.

Bang!
Sudden.

Atobe speeds up his attack.

The tennis ball spun fiercely and flew past Gorgias.

"30-0!"

Bang!
soon.

Atobe hit another sharp slice.

"40-0!"

The referee spoke.

Gorgias looked very unhappy.

Throughout the whole process, he seemed to have been seen through by his opponents and was beaten so badly that he couldn't even raise his head.

"It seems that the defensive style is not suitable for me."

Gorgias thought to himself: "If that's the case."

Swish!
When I raised my head again.

There was a sharp gleam in his eyes.

As an offensive player, for Gorgias, the best defense is actually offense. After trying to play it safe and failed, he finally got serious.

"When it comes to attacking, I won't lose to anyone!"

Bottom line.

Gorgias looked at his opponent with high morale.

call!
And this time.

Atobe threw the tennis ball up, and at the same time, he leaned back significantly, holding the racket in his right hand perpendicular to the ground.

Whoa!

Suddenly.

Atobe straightened his body.

He quickly smashed the tennis ball towards the high point with the racket in his hand.

"Well done!"

Seeing the tennis ball flying towards him, Gorgias suddenly became extremely excited. He concentrated and was ready to attack the moment the tennis ball bounced off the ground, and to return the favor with a powerful half-volley.

Chi Chi
however.

Just when Gorgias had seized the perfect opportunity to hit the ball, the moment he swung the racket, the tennis ball landed on the ground without any bounce, but slid out close to the ground.

"This"

Gorgias was stunned.

Looking at the clear drag mark on the ground, his pupils suddenly contracted: "How... How is it possible?!"

The entire stadium.

Because of Atobe's serve, the whole place fell into absolute silence.
