Prince of Tennis: The Emperor's Eye
Chapter 42
The game was a big success, but the opponent was still alive.
Tachibana Kihei and Mu Te also saw that Xiang Ri had physical problems, but they did not intend to hold back. They were exhausted during the game and could only blame themselves for not training enough.
When facing a net shot by Tachibana Kihei, Xiang Ri originally wanted to jump up to intercept, but his body seemed to be out of control, so he could only run to block it reluctantly, but the quality of the return ball was very poor, and he directly gave a high ball. Tachibana Kihei saw the opportunity and did not hesitate to jump up and smash it directly.
However, just as Kihei Tachibana's smash was about to land, Oshitsuki quickly came to the landing point, rotated his body, and intercepted the racket from top to bottom under the tennis ball. At the same time, he used the centrifugal force of his body to control the swing force, offset the force of the smash ball, and turned Kihei Tachibana's force into his own force, causing the tennis ball to bounce high and fly towards the opposite baseline, while Oshitsuki knelt on one knee with his back to the net.
"Brown bear net!"
At this time, Kihei Tachibana had just landed, and Mu Shou was stunned and did not react immediately. The tennis ball hit the baseline directly and then flew out of the court.
"15-0!"
"I didn't expect that you mastered the brown bear net in the first grade of junior high school? But it seems that you are not very proficient, and it should not have any effect on Mu Shou later~" Akashi said softly after seeing Oshitsuki perform the brown bear net.
In fact, in the original work, Oshitari is also known as Hyotei's genius. Not only does he have a lot of tennis skills, but he has also developed the same smash return as Fuji - Brown Bear Net. However, he is still much worse than Fuji in tennis talent.
Although he unexpectedly scored a point with Brown Bear Net, Oshitari did not show any joy on his face. He knew that this was just a drop in the bucket for the whole game. Sure enough, the subsequent games were still very disadvantageous for them.
"15-15!"
"15-30!"
But at this time, Xiangri seemed to have gone crazy suddenly, and kept jumping and rolling in front of the net, blocking all the return balls, and using the flexibility of his body to hit the tennis ball at various weird angles.
"30-30!"
"40-30!"
"40-40! Tie!"
"GAME! Hyotei Gakuen! 3-1!"
After Hibiki and Oshiro fought hard, they finally saved their serve, but in fact the game was over, because Hibiki's physical strength had completely failed. Now he was already very tired just standing. Sweat kept sliding down his face, and his red hair was all wet. He looked very bad.
There was no suspense in the subsequent game. Even though Oshiro tried his best to defend and even used the brown bear trap again, it was easily cracked by the shrinking technique of the hand. When Hibiki still had physical strength, the two of them could not resist the attack of Tachibana Kihei and Hand, not to mention that now it was basically Oshiro who was fighting back alone.
"GAME! Fudomine! 4-1!"
"GAME! Fudomine! 5-1!"
"GAME! 6-1! Game over! Winner, Fudomine Junior High School!"
After the referee announced the result, Xiangri could no longer hold on and slowly fell backwards. Fortunately, Oshiro was quick-witted and quickly stepped forward to support him.
With Oshiro's support, the two walked off the court in a mess and came to Sakaki Taro. Oshiro said disappointedly:
"I'm very sorry! Coach! We lost!"
"Gakuto's physical strength is a big problem. Double the amount of training after returning! Oshiro, you didn't give Gakuto timely support on the court, which accelerated his consumption. Your tacit understanding needs more cultivation! That's all, go and rest first~" Sakaki Taro didn't say too much, because he had already seen the difference in strength between the two sides.
"We got it! Thank you, coach!" After saying that, Oshitari led Hibiki, who was too tired to speak, to the players' seats. When passing by Atobe, Oshitari lowered his head and said nothing. After helping Hibiki to the chair, he quietly took out the water bottle and began to replenish water.
"It's such an ugly loss~ Oshitari, Gakuto! I will personally supervise your training after returning!" Atobe did not let them go because of Oshitari's silence, and said in a very unhappy tone.
On the Fudomine side, Akashi looked at the two who came back and asked with a smile:
"How do you feel about your first doubles partnership?"
"Very good! Kimute's defensive ability in the backcourt is stronger than Chitose, and I can play freely at the net without any scruples!" Tachibana Kiheiichi
While wiping the sweat, he gave words of affirmation to Mu Shou.
"Tachibana, you make me very sad when you say that!" Chitose said jokingly.
"Tachibana, you are too kind. My strength is not enough. I need to improve it. I made several mistakes today!" Mu Shou adjusted his glasses and said calmly.
"Okay, you performed very well. Although you lost a game, Hyotei is not a small school after all. As long as you can win, it's fine. Lilia, Akatsu, it's up to you next~" Akashi turned his eyes to Kurasa and Akatsu.
Kurasa nodded, said nothing, and walked to the edge of the court with the unhappy Akatsu holding the racket with a cold expression, waiting for the game to start.
The first two third-year members of Hyotei doubles team, Honshu Yuji and Kurokawa Masao, were on the field. They were the few third-year members in the regular season. Although their individual strength was average, their tacit understanding and experience in doubles far surpassed that of Mukai Taketo and Oshitari Yuushi. They were also the only fighting force left by Yuezhi Gekkou for Hyotei.
Taro Sakaki did not give much guidance to Honshu and Kurokawa, but just told them to be careful, after all, the two opponents had a history of injuring their opponents in previous games.
After the game started, although Kurasa and Akutsu were far superior to their opponents in terms of individual strength, Akutsu's self-willed and violent style of play made it difficult for Kurasa to cooperate. Although they did not make low-level mistakes, there was no tacit understanding at all, and Akashi, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his head.
On the other hand, the two third-year students of Hyotei on the opposite side soon found something wrong. Their rich doubles experience told them that the two on the opposite side should be playing doubles for the first time, especially the one called Akutsu. Although his movements were strange, he had no intention of cooperating with his teammates and just kept attacking at the net.
Honshu and Kurokawa seized this point and continued to score points by targeting the two people's coordination errors. Fortunately, Kurasa and Akutsu were much stronger than them, so the game did not become one-sided, and the scores of both sides rose alternately.
"15-0!"
"15-15!"
"30-15!"
"40-30!"
"GAME! Hyotei Academy! 1-0!"
"GAME! Fudomine! 1-1!"
"GAME! Hyotei Academy! 3-2!"
Honshu and Kurokawa took advantage of the lack of coordination of the two opponents and directly won three games. Of course, they also lost two games themselves. After all, Akutsu's attack was not something that ordinary people could easily deal with.
Just when they both thought that there was hope for this match, Akutsu, after being reprimanded by Akashi, finally reluctantly cooperated with Kurasaki, and no longer thought about attacking by himself as before.
Kurasaki did not hold back and hit tricky chasing balls from various angles, of course, he did not attack the bodies of Hyotei and the others.
Under Akutsu's cooperation and Kurasaki's outburst, Honshu and Kurokawa gradually lost their ability to resist, began to lose points one after another, and soon lost their leading advantage and were completely suppressed.
"GAME! Fudomine! 3-3!"
"GAME! Fudomine! 4-3!"
"GAME! 6-3! The game is over! The winner is Fudomine!"
In the end, Kurasaki and Akutsu still won the game without a setback, but the beginning of the game still made them a little embarrassed, especially during the rest period, Akashi's cold reprimand made the two of them shudder.
In fact, Akashi also knew that he couldn't blame the two completely. After all, Akatsuki was not suitable for doubles, or there was no cooperation in his concept, but this was not a reason for him to mess around on the court. Now it was just a small fight in the country. In the future, in the World Cup, various doubles will inevitably be arranged according to the situation of the game. Even Kijujiro has played doubles.
With the end of all the doubles matches, Hyotei has lost two games in a row, and even the cheers unique to Hyotei around have become much smaller. If they lose in singles three again, Hyotei will be eliminated. Although they have already won the quota for the Kanto Tournament, as the top four in the country last year, it is really embarrassing that they cannot make it to the finals at the level of the Metropolitan Tournament.
Fortunately, the next singles three is the strongest player of Hyotei, Keigo Atobe. As the head of the Hyotei Tennis Club, he is also the new king of Hyotei Academy. His popularity is unquestionable.
Atobe was even more upset when he saw the two third-year seniors lose, but he also knew that the two had tried their best. The gap in strength determined the outcome of the game. Now he could only hope that Shishido Ryo and Akutagawa Jiro could win the game. He was not worried about his own game at all, which came from his confidence in his own strength.
"Atobe! Win this game,
This is the only thing you need to do as the captain!" Taro Sakaki didn't say any more nonsense, because he knew that Atobe knew what to do.
As Atobe walked into the court, the members of Hyotei who were watching the game around him suddenly cheered like a tsunami, even suppressing the voice of Fudomine.
"The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Atobe!"
"The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Atobe!"
"The loser is Fudomine! The victory belongs to Atobe!"
"The loser is Fudomine! The victory belongs to Atobe!"
Atobe walked to the center of the court in a showy manner, threw his coat high up, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Only Atobe said narcissistically:
"Indulge in my gorgeous ball skills! "
Gorgeous appearance
Akagi, who was also wearing a coat, came to the net speechlessly. Looking at Atobe's narcissistic appearance, he wanted to beat him up, but he didn't know that in the eyes of others, he was the same, both were masters of pretending, but Atobe was more conspicuous.
After being narcissistic, Atobe saw Akashi standing in front of him and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Fudomine actually arranged Akashi in the singles third position. It seems that they have the same idea as him and want to decide the winner in the first three games. But who is Atobe? He is not afraid.
"I didn't expect you to play singles third. It's just right. Let's have a good competition this time. I will not lose to you in tennis, Akashi Seijuro!" Atobe looked at Akashi and said with great confidence.
"You should know it very well, Atobe! From childhood to adulthood, I have never lost to others in anything, and I won't in the future." Akashi said lightly.
