Net king: Muying Guanghua

Chapter 12 First Battle
Chapter 12 The first battle
When the list of the last sixteen contestants was finalized, Ximu looked helplessly at the lottery she had drawn. Her opponent was No. [-] seed Takayama Namiko, a sixth-grade player who had won three consecutive national championships since the third grade. The champion of the competition is a very powerful player.Xi Mu wiped the sweat from her forehead, this time she has encountered a strong enemy.The pretty short black hair shows her leanness, and Ximu looks much inferior in comparison. Although she is slightly better in the length of her hair, she does not look as lean as Takayama Namiko, and looks younger and more immature .Coach Fujino also sweated for Ximu when he heard about it. Namiko Takayama can be regarded as the ruler of the elementary school women's tennis world today. She is indeed a very strong opponent. This match cannot be missed!

On the first night of the competition, Ximu sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, and his grandfather sat next to Ximu, "Xiaomu, is there a competition tomorrow?" "Yes." Ximu had already heard what kind of character her opponent was, and she couldn't help Some doubt themselves, do they have a chance of winning? "Then grandpa, go and watch tomorrow's game. This is also the first final." Grandpa smiled and said, "But grandpa, I don't know if I will win this game." Judging from Xi Mu's tone, she seemed to have nothing to say Like odds.Grandpa said kindly: "It doesn't matter whether you win the game or not. The important thing is to enjoy the process of the game. Tennis is a competitive sport. Competitive sports have a characteristic. There can be many strong players, but there is only one winner. And in Not every strong player can play well in the game, and there will be mistakes. Therefore, the result of a game is not very important, and the most important thing is to gain skills and game experience. Xiaomu, yours A lot of analysis has been done, but it is rarely used in practice. This should be a good opportunity." Ximu smiled, and what grandpa said is the same, just relax and do your best to make this game a good one. .Grandpa saw Ximu's always gloomy face finally showed a smile, knowing that Ximu had finally figured it out, and the game would go on smoothly if he was in a good mood.

On the next day's game, Ximu saw the power of the fan group. Namiko Takayama's fan group was very large, and almost the entire arena was filled with her fans. In comparison, Ximu was alone, and the stands were her relatives and friends. The group can only be counted as Coach Fujino and Grandpa, and the momentum is a lot short.Fortunately, Ximu was relatively calm and was not affected by this.

The first is Takayama's serve. Namiko Takayama's serve is very fast and powerful. Many people have passed the ball before they have time to react. She has already served and scored.But for Ximu, this trick doesn't work. Since Ximu has played with most adult men, their serve is of the fast and powerful type. Ximu is already fully capable of catching such a serve.Xi Mu took Gao Shan's serve calmly. Although Gao Shan was a little shocked, he was not affected by it, but felt that he had finally met a good opponent.Gao Shan's offensive was very fierce, and she aimed very far, making it difficult to catch the ball.Although Ximu ran hard, Gao Shan kept her serve.

Next was Ximu's serve. Ximu patted the ball, threw the ball high, and then hit the ball suddenly. What he hit was not the trick of the phoenix turn but an ACE ball.Coach Fujino was very surprised, why didn't Ximu use the phoenix turn of his serve at this time?Judging from Ximu's posture and pat on the face, she should be planning to turn around with the phoenix. Could it be that Ximu was too nervous and didn't use his unique move?Looking carefully at Ximu's performance, Coach Fujino confirmed his thoughts, and Ximu was indeed not good enough psychologically.After 10 minutes of fierce confrontation, Ximu finally kept his serve with difficulty and tied Gao Shan 1-1.

When drinking water at halftime, Grandpa and Coach Fujino could clearly see the sweat on Ximu's face and her trembling hands. It was obvious that Ximu was still very nervous.They all understand that with Ximu's analytical ability, she already knows how strong Namiko Takayama is. She is not confident in her own strength, and at the same time she is a little in awe of Namiko Takayama's strength, so she is nervous.This is too bad, if Ximu can't adjust, the outcome of this match will be decided.

Ximu finally adjusted after losing a round. In his serve round, he finally hit a phoenix turn. The audience was shocked. After serving and scoring, even Namiko Takayama was not sure that he could break the serve.When Takayama Namiko quickly rushed to the net to intercept the ball, Ximu was taken aback. She didn't expect her reaction to be so fast. Fortunately, she changed the landing point so that Takayama Namiko couldn't figure out where the ball landed , to score, and finally kept his serve.

In the next fifth game, Ximu suddenly played a unique move that was born by accident recently - swaying the pen, which surprised even Coach Fujino and Grandpa. When did Ximu practice such a unique move?From the fifth inning, Yamanamiko just intercepted the ball and didn't hit the ball over the net.On the other side of the field, Ximu frowned. Ximu's increased spin on the ball was already just right. If the spin was too strong, he would not go back and could only increase the speed of the ball.After that, Ximu cleverly changed the direction of the ball, and the match between Takayama Namiko and Aoye Ximu entered a fierce stage. After a fierce battle, the two sides reached the tiebreaker.

"Xiaomu played well. It's not like she said that the chances of winning are very small!" Grandpa stroked his beard in the stands. Xiaomu didn't find his form at first, but then he played better and better. "Indeed, Ximu performed well today, but the tiebreaker is the most test of people's willpower. What about Ximu's willpower?" Coach Fujino is very aware of Ximu's weakness. Ximu's performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Ximu's experience in facing the enemy is far inferior to Takayama Namiko, and Takayama Namiko has an incredible domineering spirit. If she shows it in the tiebreaker, Ximu will probably be suppressed by her. And it's hard to roll over.

At the start of the tie-break, Namiko Takayama served first. As expected of an experienced veteran, she performed very calmly.Looking at Ximu again, she sweated much more than Takayama Namiko, Takayama Namiko is very good at mobilizing opponents, although Ximu did not miss those balls, but Ximu consumed more energy.If your physical strength is exhausted quickly, you will lose your concentration.When the score was locked at 3-2, Ximu suddenly made a serve error. Coach Fujino knew that the outcome of the game was decided. Although he felt very sorry, this was also an important test for Ximu. How to train Ximu next.

In the end, Ximu lost the game 5-7 regrettably. At the moment the score was determined, Ximu suddenly felt something overflowing from the corner of her eyes, but she finally controlled it, telling herself the outcome over and over again is a common thing in military tactics.Reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, the game is over.Grandpa couldn't help but feel that it's a pity, Coach Fujino also understands Ximu's weakness very well, and he has to let her correct it in the future!
"You are such a good opponent!" Ximu said when she shook hands with Takayama Namiko, Ximu smiled, "You are a very strong opponent!" The audience was already boiling, and Takayama Namiko's fans all screamed , but no one cheered for Ximu, Ximu's eyes could not help showing a look of disappointment.

"Hmph! Gao Shan's level has degraded to this point? Even a fourth-grade player will reach the tiebreaker? Let her reflect on it." In front of the desk, a man in black smothered the cigarette in his hand. After hearing his words, he immediately carried them out, according to what he meant by reflection.

Ximu dragged his exhausted body and walked home with his grandfather. Ximu remained silent all the way, without saying a word. The bangs on his forehead covered her eyes, so he couldn't see her expression, but Grandpa I can understand Ximu's disappointment.It's no wonder, this is the first match of the national competition, Ximu lost the game, and he is no longer qualified to stand on this field, it is normal for Ximu to be disappointed.After returning home, Ximu went straight to the bathroom without saying a word. After taking a shower, he locked himself in the room to write analysis records without even eating.Grandpa can understand Ximu's mood very well. When she wants to eat, she will come out to eat by herself. If she is seriously making notes and analysis at this time, he will not bother her, otherwise Ximu's analysis will be incorrect. up.Ximu didn't take a step out of the room until Grandpa went to bed. The next day, when Grandpa saw that Ximu hadn't come out for breakfast, he decided he couldn't stand idly by. He opened the door of Ximu's room and found Ximu Fell asleep on the table.Grandpa smiled helplessly, went to the room and took a blanket to cover Ximu, and then read the analysis written by Ximu, this time the analysis was very long, Ximu wrote five pages, very serious!It's also good to learn from the game.

"Mr. Phantom, please forgive me! I promise that the same situation will not happen again in the future." Takayama Namiko said with a bowed waist and trepidation. "So, what should you do?" There was a smile on the corner of the mouth of the person called Phantom, and Takayama Namiko replied quickly, "I will definitely practice harder, and the same incident will never happen again." I hope Mr. Phantom can believe it Her words, otherwise my sister really doesn't know what to do. "You should reflect on it first. Although you were not eliminated this time, you should also take it as a warning. Fortunately, you did not make a big mistake this time. There will be no problems with your sister." The words of Mr. Phantom reveal Namiko Takayama fully understood the meaning, she bowed to Mr. Phantom and walked out.Namiko Takayama returned to her room, closed the door and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. This time was really dangerous. If she hadn't been experienced and calm in the tiebreaker, she might have lost the game. Once you lose, sister...

Although Takayama Namiko won the competition, she knew very well that this person named Cangye Ximu was definitely not an easy character to deal with.This year should be her first year participating in the competition, and she is still very young, she should be a novice.She is not sure how powerful she will grow in time, but she knows that by then she will never be Cangye Ximu's opponent.At that time, what should my sister do?She admires Cangye Ximu's talent very much, she has such strength in only the fourth grade, she is definitely a malleable talent.Takayama Namiko is very aware of her current state. She has reached the peak moment, and the peak moment cannot be maintained for too long, and her talent has been brought to the limit. She is not a tennis genius in the first place, relying on herself s hard work.After the match against Cangye Ximu, she knew that this rising star would surpass her one day, and as long as she was surpassed, then her sister would have no hope.Thinking of her sister, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, she was so useless.
