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

Chapter 507 Singles 1, Ishikawa vs. Polk

quiet!
The huge stadium suddenly fell into silence!

Even the players of the Japanese team forgot to celebrate for a moment. They looked at Tezuka and Atobe, who were standing one after the other with their sides facing the crowd, and still had a dreamy feeling.

"The doubles of these two are too strong!"

Dankmar Schneider, a professional player of the German team, couldn't help but praise him.

"Ah."

His partner, Polk's younger brother Berti, also nodded heavily.

The cooperation between these two people can be described as seamless. Whether it is attacking or defending, they can maintain a high degree of consistency.

With their respective strong abilities, if they switch to doubles, they will be able to become a professional-level combination in the shortest possible time.

only.

Both Schneider and Berti knew very well that the two people in front of them could not play doubles.

Compared to singles, doubles received too little attention. Moreover, with the personalities shown by these two players, I'm afraid they won't be willing to switch to doubles.

"Pity."

Berti sighed.

Although he knew that if these two switched to doubles, they would definitely become their strong rivals, the doubles circle was too monotonous, and he also wanted to be able to join some players who could make him feel pressured.

But that's too unrealistic.

"Ooooooooo!!!"

soon.

Everyone came back to their senses.

In addition to the fans of the Japanese team, many other spectators, even including fans of the German team, began to cheer.

Without him.

The game entered this stage, with the two sides tied at 1-, and were about to enter the final singles final.

This will also be the first appearance of Polk, the strongest player of the German team and also the strongest high school student in this World Cup.

As fans of the German team, how could they not be excited?

"Next, the singles 1 match will begin."

As the players from both teams left the court, the broadcast sounded again: "Germany's representative Jurgen Barisavich-Polke (senior year 3) versus Japan's representative Ishikawa Shin (junior year 1)!"

"Please prepare both players."

The words fell.

The stadium became noisy again.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two calm-looking figures on both sides of the court.

"As expected, it was a showdown between these two in the end."

Peter Lambiel, the Swiss team's chief of staff, said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the duel between the two strongest players in this year's World Cup would happen so soon."

"Yes."

Federer nodded as well.

Then, he looked at Amadeus next to him with a strange look.

Because, when this year's lineup was announced, Amadeus, as the only two professional players along with Polk, was once regarded as the strongest player under Polk.

however.

The other team lost to the young captain of the Japanese team in the group stage. Not only Amadeus, but also Qp of the German team, Reinhardt of the American team and Camus of the French team.

The top masters from all walks of life were swept away by the other side.

now.

Only Polk from the German team and Medanore from the Spanish team were left.

"You say"

Federer narrowed his eyes and said, "Can that kid from the Japanese team create an undefeated legend in this year's World Cup?"

"Disaster!"

Ranbir shook his head and answered without even thinking.

He always speaks with data, so he naturally knows that Ishikawa is very strong. But unlike others, he knows that Polk's data is even more dazzling.

"Compared to Ishikawa, Polk's record is even more amazing."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Lambiel said in a deep voice, "Since he turned professional last year, he has not lost any game. Including the recent German competition, Polk defeated Novak Brynner beyond everyone's expectations!"

Novak Brynner?!
Everyone on the Swiss team was shocked when they heard this name. This is the No. 1 player in the current professional tennis world.

Some people who didn't know the truth widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Even that one lost to Polk?"

"Yes."

Amadeus nodded heavily.

Because he watched the whole match. Novak Brynner was very strong, worthy of the title of the best player in the profession. But in the end, he still lost to Polk.

After watching the game, he was deeply shocked.

Amadeus never thought that there would be such a terrible player among high school students.

After that game.

The media and professional tennis circles all believe that Polk will dominate tennis in the next decade.

"pity."

Thinking of this, Amadeus's eyes fell on the calm black-haired boy on the other side of the court: "This person's existence has shaken Polk's position."

That's right.

Ishikawa may not be able to defeat Polk now.

But in terms of tennis talent, Ishikawa is definitely better than Polk, and even among the players Amadeus knows, he is unique.

The only weakness is that the other party is too young.

It is obvious that Ishikawa has not fully grown up yet. This is also an opportunity for Polk. If he can defeat him in this game, he can even plant the seeds of defeat in Ishikawa's heart.

In his future career, he will most likely continue to suppress his opponent.

This duel is also the one in which Polk has the greatest chance of defeating Ishikawa.

almost everyone.

Including the Spanish players who have already been confirmed to enter the finals, everyone's face is full of seriousness and solemnity.

Even as arrogant as they were, they did not dare to underestimate the two people in front of them in the slightest.

tread!
tread!
The 10 minutes of preparation time was over quickly.

Ishikawa and Polk entered from the left and right sides of the court under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

In front of the net.

The two stood opposite each other.

Polk, with a thin face but sharp eyes like a knife, locked his sight on his opponent: "You have grown faster than I thought. If I am not mistaken, you should have completely entered that field, right?"

"Isn't it the same with you, Your Excellency?"

Ishikawa smiled faintly: "To be able to beat the world's number one professional player, you have already entered that field. I also want to know how far you have come."

In the original work.

Byodoin Temple relied on the power of Nirvana and the determination to risk its life to narrowly defeat Polk.

After the game.

Byodoin was seriously injured and could not participate in the finals. On the other hand, Polk was still sweating very little at the end of the game.

In this regard, Ishikawa has reason to suspect that the captain of the German team who defeated the world's number one professional player probably did not use his full strength at the time.

Or.

He did not expect that the raid on Byodoin would be successful in the end.

therefore.

Ishikawa always maintained sufficient vigilance towards the young man in front of him. At the same time, he also wanted to use him to test how far he had come.

Because, in his sight at this moment, Polk, his opponent, had a red name [Lv99] on his head.

This was the highest level opponent he had ever encountered.

soon.

After both sides completed their serve selection, they each entered the baseline area.

"Cough cough."

Sitting on the high chair, the new referee who had just been replaced was too nervous. He subconsciously cleared his throat before speaking: "The match is best of three."

“First set.”

"Germany's Polk serves, game over!"

Suddenly, the entire stadium fell into absolute silence.

Everyone's eyes were on the bald young man in a black jacket on the court.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Polk just tapped the tennis ball gently, and after finding the right feeling, he threw the tennis ball up, then swung the racket and made a very standard serve.

Bang!
but.

Accompanied by the sound of hitting the ball.

A light yellow streamline flashed past everyone's eyes. Most people couldn't even see the exact trajectory of the tennis ball.

"So fast!!!"

As soon as many people had this thought in their minds, Polk's serve had already landed. If it were them, they would probably have difficulty keeping up with the speed of the tennis ball, let alone returning the ball.

Bang!
but.

Almost at the same time as the tennis ball landed, the crisp sound of hitting the ball rang out again.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously.

However, their sight passed by the light yellow streamline that turned back, and then they saw Ishikawa who continued to swing the racket.

"Half volley?"

The moment their eyes rested on each other, this thought subconsciously emerged in the minds of Bismarck, Sefried and other German players.

"What a joke!"

Frankensteiner immediately blurted out, "That guy actually hit back Polk's serve with a half-volley?"

"not only that."

Qp opens.

He always appeared very calm, but at this moment he narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the baseline on Polk's backhand side.

there.

There was a clear white mark.

The opponent not only returned Polk's serve with a half-volley, but also pressed it accurately on the baseline.

This ball control ability was so strong that even Qp, who had played against Ishikawa before, still felt an extremely strong impact in his heart at this moment.

"Nice comeback."

Polk nodded.

Subsequently.

He raised his racket and hit the tennis ball with a backhand stroke, and with an equally fierce counterattack, he hit the tennis ball into Ishikawa's backhand baseline.

"Well come."

Looking at the tennis ball that was coming straight towards him with a strong spin, Ishikawa chuckled and immediately moved sideways, naturally making room for a suitable shot.

There was a bang.

The tennis ball was easily counterattacked by him.

"hiss"

The seemingly casual confrontation between the two was seen as dangerous by others, especially those tennis players who prided themselves on their strong abilities.

Every ball made them sweat profusely.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
but.

Ishikawa and Polk, however, did not stop at all and continued to fight fiercely.

5 goals.

10 goals.

15 goals.

As the time goes.

The two sides actually exchanged nearly 40 balls in a row, and there was no sign of slowing down.

"As expected of the one who defeated Qp."

After some probing, Polk couldn't help but nod his head: "Normally, as the number of matches increases, the mental stress, nervous system reactions, and body muscles of the players will be affected to varying degrees."

Muscle soreness will affect the player's ball control.

The speed of reaction will affect the player's judgment and response.

The mental pressure will make the players gradually reduce the probability of hitting the sideline ball in order to ensure that the ball falls within the boundary.

but.

A full 40-goal encounter.

Ishikawa responded very calmly, like a machine, repeating the precise shot like the first one.

This is so exaggerated!
Because even Frankensteiner, who is known as the "Tennis Robot", cannot maintain such a level of continuous hitting.

No.

If it was Frankensteiner, he wouldn't even be able to catch the first ball and would be killed instantly by Polk.

But is Ishikawa a robot?

Apparently not.

Polk knew very well that the opponent's batting quality did not decline because it did not reach its limit. As long as you are human, you have your limit!

boom!
Thinking of this.

Polk decisively increased the force of his strike, and the ball's speed increased almost without warning. Moreover, the trajectory of its landing point was still very accurate.

"Ah."

If it were someone else, they would have been caught off guard. But Ishikawa just smiled faintly, raised his racket, and under everyone's shocked gaze, he once again hit the tennis ball back with a half-volley.

Bang!
The tennis ball hits the ground.

It hit the bottom line again.

"hiss"

Seeing this, the players of the German team gasped.

Even Polk looked at Ishikawa with a hint of surprise and sharpness.

Subsequently.

He increased the power of the ball again and added spin, making the return of the tennis ball more difficult.

but.

Ishikawa quickly hit the tennis ball back again.

What surprised Polk even more was that the opponent still hit the tennis ball back with a half-volley.

"Has his half-volley already reached the level of a top professional player?"

Polk was shocked.

Because in his opinion, unless the opponent has been practicing tennis since birth, it is difficult to improve the half volley to such an amazing level.

Snapped!
And just at the moment when Polk was distracted.

Ishikawa changed his tactics very quickly and hit a beautiful short ball.

"Ok?"

Polk's eyes changed slightly.

Because the control of this short ball was not inferior to the level of the top professional players he had ever seen.

Tap! !
no way.

He had no choice but to step forward and hit the tennis ball before it hit the ground for the second time.

"Besides the half volley, is his short ball also so powerful?"

Polk pondered secretly in his heart, and he vaguely realized that neither he nor the German team's intelligence collectors had any real information about the person in front of them.

Not to mention other abilities.

Just the short balls and half volleys alone would have made the other team a professional.

"actually"

call!
at the same time.

Ishikawa's figure leaped high into the sky.

"My smash is stronger than half volleys and short balls!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he aimed at the flying tennis ball and slammed the racket down.

Boom!
A muffled sound came from under Polk's feet.

He subconsciously wanted to swing his racket to intercept, but found that the accuracy of this smash was beyond his expectations. Moreover, with the posture of receiving a short ball, it was difficult for him to hit the ball back.

then.

Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, the tennis ball shot past Polk.

quiet!
The entire stadium was so quiet at this moment that you could hear a pin drop!
