Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

After seeing this scene.

"To be honest."

"If you only have these abilities, then you are really far behind."

The racket was like a living thing between Kitagawa's fingers. After spinning a few times, he suddenly froze it and pointed it directly at Echizen Ryoma on the opposite side, revealing a sunny smile and saying.

"Humph!"

"Take this ball first and then talk nonsense."

Echizen Ryoma snorted with a stern look.

Although he said so, he did not relax at all.

"This is not nonsense, but the truth."

Just when the Echizen ball just passed the net.

Kitagawa started and rushed to the T-shaped area in the corner of the court with lightning speed.

Chi Chi!

Accompanied by the friction between his feet and the ground.

Dong!

Bang!

A series of sounds followed.

In just a moment, the racket in Beichuan's hand hit the bouncing tennis ball heavily.

Then.

The tennis ball instantly accelerated under Beichuan's shot, and drew an almost invisible straight line in the air and rushed to the opposite blind spot.

"Have you been seen through?"

"It seems that I can only use this trick I just learned..."

Without time to think, Echizen Ryoma's right foot lightly touched, as if bouncing on the ground, driving the whole body to accelerate instantly in the direction of the ball.

His left foot was almost seamlessly connected, and he stepped out lightly. Every time he touched the ground, it was like jumping on the water, leaving almost no trace.

Basic single-footed small steps!

This is a movement technique that combines fast small steps with fine-tuning of the body's center of gravity, aiming to minimize the ground contact time and maximize movement efficiency.

However.

The speed of that flat shot was too fast!

"Valid ball!"

"Kitagawa scored."

The referee's voice also rang slowly.

"( °Д°) He was completely suppressed."

"From the beginning of the game to now, every serve was an ace, and every receive was a high-speed flat hit. This Asian kid named Kitagawa should be a strong serve player."

"Too strong, it feels like he is not on the same level. Is this guy really just a 12-year-old boy?"

"......"

As Echizen Ryoma lost repeatedly, the audience outside the court also sighed.

"No! Not a strong serve player."

"This kid is likely to be an all-around player."

"And, he is a national-level all-around player!"

Looking at Kitagawa on the court, Echizen Ryoma in the crowd frowned.

"A 12-year-old national-level..."

After whispering softly, he moved his gaze to Echizen Ryoma.

His eyes were full of expectations.

On the court.

"Is this the son of the samurai?"

"Much weaker than expected."

After slowly returning to the receiving position, Kitagawa shook his head and said softly.

It can even be said that the outstanding achievements of the three consecutive championships of the Free Country Youth Tennis Championships have made this young "samurai" with the aura of the protagonist a little conceited.

The opponent used his non-dominant right hand to play the ball from the beginning, which can be seen in full.

In addition, due to his own physical fitness limitations.

Facing the national-level Kitagawa.

Echizen Ryoma was exhausted to the end, but he couldn't change a bit.

"You... are a good stepping stone."

Bending down to pick up the tennis ball, Echizen Ryoma replied in a deep voice.

After saying that, he continued to serve.

It was still an outspin serve.

The only difference is that the speed, strength, and rotational force are far better than before.

But the result is still Kitagawa's strong score.

No matter how he performs the basic one-footed steps, he can't catch up with the speed of the tennis ball.

In the blink of an eye, the score was 0-30.

The next moment.

"I've seen through your tennis ball!"

Echizen Ryoma adjusted his hat, his eyes sparkling.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

After tapping the tennis ball a few times.

Tossing the ball, bouncing, swinging the racket.

The whole process was smooth.

This ball was still an outspin serve.

"Oh? Really?"

Kitagawa smiled slightly and said without comment.

To be honest.

He hoped that the other party could show more real skills.

With his eyes flashing, Kitagawa once again accurately predicted the landing point of the tennis ball.

With a casual swing of the racket.

Another high-speed flat shot shot out.

When the tennis ball flew across the net like a cannonball.

Echizen Ryoma started quickly, and his legs exploded like springs.

This time, he did not choose the one-legged basic step, but adopted a more direct sprint method, rushing towardsThe ball's expected landing point is approaching.

Just as the tennis ball is about to touch the ground, his body quickly lowers, his left foot steps outward, and his right foot follows closely, quickly adjusting his position by sliding, while maintaining the momentum of the sprint.

Boom!

The tennis ball hits the ground heavily, and then suddenly bounces up.

Whoosh!

Echizen Ryoma's racket also hits out at the same time.

Bang!

After a crisp collision sound.

A yellow-green light flashes by, pointing directly to the opposite baseline area.

After seeing this scene.

"Finally, it's a bit interesting."

Kitagawa exclaimed.

Echizen Ryoma himself is an all-round adaptable player, who is good at finding breakthrough points in repeated failures.

Take the single-leg basic small steps for example.

Although this tennis footwork is highly flexible, it can enhance reaction speed, high body balance, and can reduce the inertia caused by large steps, it is suitable for quick adjustment.

But facing Kitagawa's extremely high-speed flat shot, this step not only failed to achieve the goal of quickly reaching the landing point, but also increased its own consumption.

The current combination of sliding and rushing is more applicable.

The most important thing is.

This return shot looks like an outward spin serve, but in fact it is a little different.

The next moment.

The tennis ball fell directly at Kitagawa's feet.

However, after the ball landed and rotated, it did not bounce up, but slid along the ground at high speed.

"It appeared! Echizen Ryoma's COOL volley!"

"The rumored incredible return!"

At the same time.

The surrounding spectators also exclaimed.

"Using the power of my shot and the strong rotation, the centrifugal force makes the fluffy tennis ball stick to the ground, not rebound, but rotates and moves forward close to the ground."

"To put it bluntly, it is an irregularly rebounding rolling ball, which is far from incredible!"

I saw Kitagawa bend down and the racket hit the ground.

Ding!

Beichuan twisted his body explosively, and the racket in his hand swung out with unprecedented terrifying power.

Swish...

A violent friction sound was heard, and a large number of sparks flashed from the contact point between the racket and the ground.

The whole process was like a one-handed golf shot.

"Ember Flame!"

Bang!

After a violent collision sounded.

All the audience's eyes were fixed.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball seemed to be instantly repelled by the gravity of this world and soared into the sky.

Under the dazzling sunlight, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the sky seemed to be raining countless sparks.

Ta!

With a soft sound, a tennis ball wrapped in flames fell on the court on Echizen Ryoma's side, motionless.

Less than one centimeter away from the net.

The whole audience was instantly silent.
