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

Chapter 85 Defeat and Awakening, Nanjiro’s Appreciation (2nd update)
"You're a first-year student at Qingxue."

bottom line.

Akutagawa, who was patting the tennis ball lightly, looked up at the boy opposite, who was in a ready posture: "You can't only hit outspin serves, right?"

Bang!
Thoughts turn.

He hit the tennis ball over.

Tread! !
Immediately.

Akutagawa sprinted towards the tennis ball.

"Serve to the net?!"

The expressions of Qingxue's team members changed slightly.

If it is an Echiefront serve game, he can also serve to limit the possibility of the opponent going to the net.

But now it is Akutagawa's serve, and he has the advantage of the first move. He can take advantage of the gap between his opponent's return of serve and start hitting the net.

Snapped!
At this time.

Choosing a slice before catching the ball.

The tennis ball flew to Akutagawa's left, and he quickly moved over, hit the tennis ball back, and started to hit the net again.

"Oops!"

Seeing this situation, Horio and others suddenly felt that something was not good.

Gan said in a deep voice: "Once the opponent starts to hit the net, it will be difficult to restrict him to the baseline. The speed of cutting the ball is too slow, and it is completely unable to restrict the opponent's actions."

Tread! !
But this time.

Echizen actually started up and ran towards the net.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Xiangri was surprised and said: "A first-year Qingxue student is also on the Internet? He doesn't think he can compete with Jilang in volleyball, right?"

"Ci Lang's volley is unstoppable."

Renzu also shook his head and said: "It would be too naive to think that going online can block his offensive."

As the second and third figures of the former Ice Emperor.

Ninzu and Akutagawa have fought against each other many times.Even though you can win more and lose less, it is still based on completely limiting the opponent to the bottom line.

Once Akutagawa goes online, there is no solution.

Bang!
but.

Akutagawa, who received Echizen's counterattack, raised his eyebrows slightly: "This ball has such strong sidespin!"

He was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that the opponent's seemingly ordinary chip could actually hide such power.

But Akutagawa was not an ordinary player. He raised his wrist slightly, switched the angle of the racket, and blocked Echizen's ball.

at this time.

Between him and Echizen, he is obviously closer to the net.

In the duel in front of the net, whoever gets online first will have the advantage.

Thinking of this, Akutagawa's eyes flashed as he was about to start: "I'm determined on this point!"

Tread! !
however.

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

Facing Akutagawa's counterattack, Echizen, who was still in the process of surfing the Internet, showed no signs of slowing down.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Outside the stadium, the audience was shocked by Echizen's behavior.

"Isn't it?"

Xiangri couldn't help but said: "This kid hasn't slowed down yet. Is he just trying to get online faster than Cilang?"

These words made others shake their heads.

Tennis matches are not about competition of spirits.If it's just to fight for a breath, then this first-year Qingxue student is still too young.

Swish!
but.

Just when everyone thought that Echizen could not return the ball.But he suddenly squatted down, lowered his body, and used the inertia to slide out.

"This"

The sudden change shocked everyone.

"coming!"

Outside the court, St. Rudolph's Yuta Fuji's face darkened: "That's the move!!!"

Whoa!

Immediately.

Then he saw Echizen gliding out and suddenly jumped.Then he swung the racket forward violently.

Bang!
Bang!
The tennis ball bounced up in a high arc, and then dropped rapidly.After landing, he bounced up again and flew beyond the baseline of the backcourt.

The two parabolas that continuously bounce and land the tennis ball, connected to the ground, look like a capital letter 'B'!
"Appeared!"

Suddenly, in the Seigaku camp, three first-year cheerleaders and other second-year cheerleaders shouted excitedly: "Echizen (Ryoma-kun)'s whipping ball B (B word whipping ball)!!!"

"0-15!"

The referee's voice fell.

Everyone's eyes fell on the young man who stood up slowly in front of the net.

"Good boy."

Xiangri said in surprise: "You can actually hide such a skill!"

"This first year of Qingxue is not easy!"

Shishido also nodded and said: "Faced with Jirou's serve and net, not only was he not afraid, but he took the initiative to step forward and engage in a head-to-head contest!"

"No wonder he was spotted by Tezuka."

Atobe sighed with emotion: "The timing and angle of this swing ball are not simple at all!"

If you want to hit that shot just now.

technology.

courage.

decisive.

Indispensable.

This alone is enough for this first-year student to gain a foothold in the Kanto-level competition.

"Well done Echizen."

On the other side, Taocheng waved his fist excitedly: "Let your opponent see how powerful you are!"

"That's right."

Horio also laughed and said: "Compared with his ability in front of the net, we will not lose to him!"

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Echizen's bold move won the head-on conflict.This boosted Seigaku's morale, and at the same time, many people's eyes also fell on Akutagawa. They wanted to know whether this Hyokui genius would become furious after his opponent scored on a counterattack.

"Okay, amazing!"

however.

It's different from what people imagine.

After a brief moment of shock, Akutagawa shouted excitedly like a child encountering a favorite toy: "That's awesome. Hey, first grader, can you hit the whipping ball again?"

"Forehead."

Not only others, but even Echizen was confused by his opponent's sudden inquiry.

"No problem at all."

Echizen said, turning around and retreating to the bottom line.

"it is good!"

Akutagawa also cheered up. After he also entered the baseline position, he said with a serious face: "This time, I will definitely be able to defeat you's trick!"

Bang!
Immediately.

He hit the tennis ball again.

Tread! !
Then, go online again.

Snapped!
And Echizen also showed strong side spin.

His purpose is simple, which is to suppress the opponent's counterattack so that he can hit the whip shot B better.

Bang!
Unsurprisingly.

Akutagawa hit the tennis ball at the same angle as before.

Chi Chi
opposite.

Echizen lowered his center of gravity, crouched down and slid out.

Bang!
After getting close to the tennis ball, he suddenly jumped up and hit it with a powerful stroke.

"coming!!!"

Seeing this, Akutagawa perked up.

Seeing the path of the ball clearly, he quickly ran towards the backcourt.At the moment when the tennis ball fell for the second time, he blocked it with his racket.

"Catch up!"

Everyone in the Ice Emperor support group was overjoyed.

Swish!
But never thought.

A figure suddenly jumped up from the opposite side, aimed at the flying tennis ball, and smashed down hard.

Bang!
"0-30!"

"Oops."

Akutagawa, who didn't expect the opponent's backhand at all, sighed angrily, and then looked at Echizen: "Again!"

"Ci Lang Ta"

Shido, Xianghi and others smiled helplessly.

But there's no way, their Ice Emperor genius just likes to 'play' so much.In his understanding, tennis is just a game.

"Not bad."

Seeing this, Nanjiro nodded with satisfaction and said, "I like this Hyokui boy very much."

"Mr. Nanjiro"

Inoue and Shiba Saori looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They originally thought that the other party would evaluate Echizen's performance.

"how."

As if he saw what they were thinking, Nanjiro smiled and said: "Tennis is an ordinary game. Only by integrating into it without any unnecessary thoughts can you appreciate the fun of this game."

"Nan, Nan pervert" Shiba Saori asked curiously: "So, do you also play tennis as a game?"

"Well, that's not the case at all."

Nanjiro thought for a while and said with a smile: "When playing professional games, the main thing is to win."

"Is that so?"

The two nodded.

Inoue thought to himself, according to what the other party said.In other words, this mentality only comes after the opponent retires.

"Too."

Thinking of this, Inoue nodded secretly: "Before and after retirement, the goals pursued are different. Moreover, Mr. Nanjiro's current state should be completely different from Akutagawa."

Bang!
"0-40!"

Bang!
"Game!"

"Aogakusho Echizen, 1-1!"

soon.

As Akutagawa tried to break Echizen's whip shot B, he lost his own serve.

"Jiro!"

Seeing that the opponent was still in high spirits, Atobe immediately said in a cold voice: "You guy, please be more serious about the game!"

"Ah oh."

After hearing Atobe's words, Akutagawa came back to his senses.Seeing the changed score outside the court, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, sorry, it's my problem."

Swish!
immediately.

He spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, and put on a ready posture: "Qingxue, I can't continue playing with you. Atobe has spoken, it's time for me to compete seriously."

when speaking.

His eyes became serious.

The whole person's temperament has also changed from the original lazy and casual to a bit of edge.

"what?"

Seeing this, the audience outside the stadium whispered: "This Ice King player was just playing?"

"As expected of Ice King's singles main force, he can still be so casual in a competition of this level."

"There is no way, this is the Ice Emperor's confidence."

"Now that he's become serious, Qing Xue's first year, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him."

when speaking.

Everyone's eyes fell on Echizen.

"Ok?"

At this time, someone seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly his eyes widened and said: "Then, that kid from Qingxue actually changed the racket to his left hand?!"

"what?"

This statement came out.

It immediately attracted the attention of others.

really.

The opponent who originally held the racket with his right hand actually changed his grip to his left hand.

"No, isn't it?"

Seeing this, Xiangri couldn't help but said: "Could this first-year Qingxue student be left-handed, right?!"

"Echizen Ryoma."

Atobe narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man on the field in surprise.He didn't expect that the opponent would hide his strength even when Qingxue could be eliminated at any time.

Bang!
And this time.

Echizen hits the tennis ball.

This serve is very fast and the spin is quite sharp.The control of the landing point is also very deep, and after it bounces off the ground, it is pushed outward.

"Well!"

Akutagawa hit the ball back, but was knocked back half a step.

Bang!
And this time.

Echizen's return ball came again.

Just like before, it's still a topspin ball that hits the baseline and lands very deep.

"Is this kid from Qingxue planning to suppress Cilang to the bottom line?"

Many of Ice Emperor's team members looked unhappy.

Akutagawa's advantages can only be realized after going online.This first-year Qingxue student was obviously not ready to let him go online.

"it does not matter."

At this time, Taki said: "Jirou's skills are definitely better than that of the first-year player. Moreover, if the fight continues like this, the side with more experience will eventually take control of the game!"

"Ah."

Maki, Shido and others nodded.

In their opinion, in terms of competition experience, third-year Akutagawa is definitely better than first-year Echizen.Moreover, in terms of physical fitness, Echizen does not have an advantage.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
just.

As the game continues.

However, Hyokui and the others gradually felt that something was wrong. The tug-of-war between the two became easier as they moved forward, while Akutagawa gradually showed some difficulty.

"Why, why?"

Taki looked confused.

"It's small steps."

Renzu next to him explained: "This first-year student of Qingxue can judge the opponent's hitting direction in an instant with his extraordinary ball sense. With his small step skills, he can jump half a step faster than ordinary people. Catch position. No!"

Suddenly.

As if he saw something, Renzu's eyes changed: "He is not an ordinary small step, but a one-legged small step!"

"Yes."

At this time, Ishikawa also nodded and said: "In this case, Echizen will be one and a half steps faster than usual!"

One and a half steps? !
hiss!
When everyone in the Ice Emperor heard this, their expressions changed.

Bang!
And this time.

Echizen's faster movement allowed him to hit the ball beyond the range of Akutagawa's counterattack.

"15-0!"

"This"

Seeing that the opponent had scored points so quickly, everyone in Hyōtei, including Akutagawa himself, became ugly.

"Come again."

He shouted lowly and made a motion to catch the ball again.

Bang!
Echizen also teed off again.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Immediately.

The two began a long-distance tug-of-war again.

But whether it was skills or competition experience, Echizen was far above Akutagawa.The duel between the two gradually evolved into Echizen's suppression of Akutagawa.

"How, how is it possible?"

Akutagawa, who was running, felt the fatigue coming from his body, and his face gradually became shocked.

"For, why."

"Why can't I keep up with his movements?"

"You've obviously seen through his ball path!"

Akutagawa fell into a daze.

As the game continued, he felt more and more strenuous.On the other hand, Echizen, although the amount of sweat gradually increased, his eyes were still extremely sharp and bright.

30 minutes into the game.

Echizen's control of the ball was still so stable, but Akutagawa was already sweating, and his breathing rate had reached a scary level.

this moment.

This genius of the Ice Emperor suddenly felt a sense of regret in his heart.If I didn't just complete daily tasks during training, it would definitely not be like this now.

just.

With the current situation, there was no point in regretting it.

Bang!
When the game entered the 36th minute.

As Echizen hit a blow, the referee shouted loudly: "The game is over, Seigaku Echizen wins, the score is 6-2!"

Pfft!
The voice fell.

Akutagawa collapsed directly to the ground, panting heavily, and his chest rose and fell to such an extent that others were shocked to see him.

"Still, I still lost."

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Although he tried his best in the end, in his own serve game, he won another game with his ferocious sprint and magic volley at the end.

However, it does not help the overall situation.

click.

Kaka.

Akutagawa clenched his hands into fists.

His nails dug deeply into his flesh, and his eyes showed determination that he had never seen before.

this moment.

This genius of the Ice Emperor completed his true awakening only after tasting the pain of defeat.

And not far away.

Outside the stadium, Nanjiro showed strong appreciation in his eyes when he saw Akutagawa's actions.

"Know your shame and then be brave. Not bad."

"With a little training, this boy from the Ice Emperor may be able to unleash his amazing potential."

"And that Akutsu, they are both very good seedlings!"

"Mr. Eminamijiro?"

On the side, Inoue suddenly felt that the man next to him was completely different from before.
This feeling.

It was as if a collector had discovered some priceless treasure.
