[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

The hot season in Osaka in October is over, and the temperature in the teens to early twenties makes people very comfortable. This year, because there is no typhoon interference, there is no worrying weather of continuous rain.This also makes Osaka overcrowded at this time, and there is an endless stream of tourists.

But Yukimura is not here to travel. It took him a lot of effort to convince his father Minghao, who was on a business trip to Osaka, to take him with him, and to book tickets for the final of the Japan Open.Of course, Yukimura's father would never say that he was actually quite supportive of his eldest son's decision, after he had enjoyed Akari Yukimura's secret fawning and coquettish behavior a few days ago.

[It's rare to see Jingshi clinging to Dad so much~]

Minghao thought secretly.

Anyway, Yukimura didn't know what his father thought, so he was very excited.This is reflected in his almost reserved smile and his willfulness to leave Yukimura's father and luggage to find the tennis court as soon as he entered the hotel.

The next afternoon was the final, Ming Hao sent Yukimura to the entrance of the stadium, and repeatedly asked Yukimura to wait for him at the exit after the game and not to run around.

Yukimura is noncommittal, he is now on the field with all his heart.

It was the first time for him to personally experience such a warm atmosphere. There were endless applause, discussions, and cheers from all around.He rubbed his hands unconsciously, and looked at the tennis court from his seat.With the voice of the audience, the two players entered the arena.The two sides of the competition are an Austrian player BK and a Brazilian player JH.

The two shook hands in front of the net and took a group photo, followed by a 5-minute warm-up time.The two players feed each other the ball, bouncing it, adapting the footwork.

"Ready?"

"Play."

The originally somewhat noisy arena instantly quieted down, while the previously harmonious two became serious. BK was clapping the ball rhythmically to throw the ball with the best touch.The diagonal JH leaned over to hold the racket in his forehand and shook it slightly from side to side.

Snapped.

JH judged success, moved quickly to the right, and easily received the serve.

The tennis ball goes back and forth on both sides of the net.Yukimura watched the two play the ball in their own way, vividly displaying the different postures of the tennis ball, either sharp, soft, ingenious, or hidden.

[40:15]

JH is a baseline player. BK's serve and forehand and backhand are not too threatening to him, but BK has obviously studied his style of play.

It was a short ball to the net that ended the first game.

[gameB.K1-0]

After JH also saved a serve, BK seemed to have some ideas.He and JH pass the ball to each other on the baseline, and then suddenly hit a short ball directly and go to the net, but JH is clearly prepared, and he quickly hits the net and hits a powerful drive.

[Advantage J.H]

It’s not that Yukimura has never played a game. He has also watched the Tennis Open on TV. He will analyze each ball’s posture, slapping method and path, and imagine how fast the tennis ball spins and how fast it swings its teeth and claws. Players protest.

It's just that this confrontation he faced touched the hearts of everyone present.The atmosphere on the field will change or change gradually due to the situation.

[gamebyB.K6-5]

After JH broke serve in the 3rd game, BK won his two serve games after the 6th game with a few high-pressure shots and short volleys, especially in the 10th game. The error went out of bounds.

This made him a little irritable, especially in the 11th inning when the opponent took a longer time to shoot the ball, he was a little distracted and let the opponent hit two Aces.

BK takes stock, JH now has to keep his serve.

"Eh!"

"Foul!" Served out of bounds.

The second serve was successful, the two pulled back and forth on the baseline, BK hit a short side spin ball, JK went to the net to chase the ball, but because of posture problems, he could only hit a lob, BK directly volleyed and scored.

[0:15]

It is obviously the same kind of ball, but different results can be obtained under different circumstances.

Yes, there are not only balls on the field, but also two people, right?Tennis is more attractive and full of passion because of the competition, but the collision of thoughts and spirits between opponents makes tennis extremely unstable.In other words, no matter how perfect a person plays tennis and how good his physical fitness is, he may not be able to give full play to it.And tennis that can't be shown is meaningless.

sports.

Perhaps this is the essence of tennis!

Yukimura touched his flushed and hot face, he now felt that he had entered into a misunderstanding, it was not a wise idea to be technically too realistic with the thing on the other side of that dream.

victory!Together with his tennis balls, beat opponents beautifully on the court and win!

The final winner of this game is BK. [7-5,6-3]

After the game, the two sides shook hands, and the audience left in twos and threes.

Yukimura stood at the gate of the arena and brushed his slightly curly hair, still feeling vaguely frustrated.Although the passion was surging during the competition, when you came out, you were blown by the cool wind. It seemed that you wanted to compete, and the feeling of wanting to win was not so real?But he cannot do without tennis, there is no doubt about it.

Yukimura was struggling to sort out his mood when his head was suddenly patted.

"...Dad! Don't touch my head."

"Seiichi is so stingy ~ go back." Ming Hao took Yukimura's right hand and stroked the thin callus on Yukimura's hand. [Seiki really loves tennis. ]

Yukimura's father thought of the joy he felt when he picked up a paintbrush when he was a child. It was a heartfelt and inseparable excitement.Composing pictures, building shapes and frames, adjusting light and shadow, and depicting in depth, what he thought of was from a few lines becoming fuller and fuller, until finally completing the whole painting.Although he can draw a random picture now, but being able to draw is not a very high level.It is not a simple matter to achieve a high level in any skill, such as painting and tennis.

"Hey, Seichi." Yukimura looked up at his father, a little puzzled, "If there is something you want to do, just let it go."

"kindness?"

"You are still young, life is a process of exploration."

"...?"

Yukimura doesn't quite understand what this means, although his painting hobby is influenced by Minghao, he may not be able to appreciate some of the philosophies that his father occasionally laments.

But now he does have something he wants to do.

In the game, no matter who the opponent is, he only needs to bring his tennis ball to win.

Yukimura began to find people to play against frequently, whether it was tennis lessons or open-air tennis courts.But Sanada has played the most games. The other kids in the tennis class are no longer willing to play against him, and the open-air tennis court - it depends on luck.

Let me talk about why Sanada is still willing to compete with Yukimura.Sanada has such a personality, isn't he? After repeated defeats and battles, he will never avoid any challenges and duels, even if his chances of winning are slim.

Older people generally choose to go to the club, while the open-air tennis courts are generally occupied by young people, and most of them are junior high school students who have plenty of free time.

Yukimura's current record in the open-air tennis court is undefeated, but the big guy he encountered today was not easy to deal with. He was wearing a weight and couldn't deal with the opposite power ball head-on with one hand.This puts more demands on his reflexes and footwork.

But it is not without repression.Speed ​​is the biggest flaw!

Yukimura hit the ball back with both hands.

"Straight ball!"

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyYukimura6-3]

The big junior high school student came to the net and shook hands with Yukimura before leaving without any unusual behavior.

Sanada, who was on guard, breathed a sigh of relief, not everyone can accept being defeated by a little guy who hasn't grown up.Last time, after losing [6-3], a third-year student threw his tennis racket at Yukimura. Thanks to his presence, he rushed forward and knocked down the racket, protecting him in front of Yukimura.He really didn't mind using a tennis racket as a bamboo sword back then.Fortunately, the junior high school student did not act excessively.

For the first time since that day, he made a rude and mandatory request to Yukimura: every time he went to the open-air tennis court, he must be with him.

Yukimura didn't feel offended. At that time, he was also a little frightened. He didn't react for a while when he saw the pair of tennis rackets being thrown at him. Thinking about it, he was still a little scared.He didn't want to make fun of his body, and he didn't want to put himself in danger easily.

[It's time to change the load again. ] Yukimura adjusted his wristband, tapped his left foot on the ground, put on his coat and took a sip of water, and then looked at Sanada who was wearing his hat on his back and putting away his towel.That's why he said that Sanada is unexpectedly reliable, ah, the word "accident" can be removed.

"Senichiro."

"What's wrong, Jingshi."

"Let's have a game."

"what!"

[Jingshi, when you worked hard for your tennis, I didn't let up! ] Sanada adjusted the racket line and walked towards the other side of the court. He looked at the weight-bearing wrist guard on Yukimura's hand. [Let me show you my new trick - Feng Lin Huo! ]

Sanada served first and Yukimura received the serve.After testing each other in the first few rounds, Sanada stepped up.

Snapped!

The tennis ball carried Sanada's full strength and quickly attacked Yukimura's left rear from top to bottom.

[15:0]

"Aggression like fire." When Yukimura looked at him, Sanada announced the name of his unique move.But to his surprise, Yukimura did not show the slightest look of surprise, which frustrated Sanada, who had scored a point from Yukimura at the beginning.

Yukimura calmly walked to the bottom line to prepare for the next return serve.

[Sanada, your unique move is indeed very powerful and fast.but--]

When Sanada was aggressive again, Yukimura had already seen through the path of the ball, and he hit the ball into the backcourt with a half-volley.

[It’s just a simple high-pressure ball, this kind of strength is not enough to threaten me. ]

[15:15]

"Fifteenall." Yukimura said the score, "What's the matter, Genichiro. Is this all your trick?"

"Of course it's more than that, Jingshi!"

Sanada's next serve is very fast, and his swing is very fast.

"About 150km/h." Yukimura took a look at it, and responded neatly.

"It's as fast as the wind!"

"Not bad." Yukimura responded with a diagonal ball that flew to the sideline, forcing Sanada back to the corner of the baseline.

"Not moving like a mountain!"

"Xianichiro, you can't score from me like this." Compared with aggressive aggression, these two tricks are easier to deal with.

"It's as Xu as a forest."

[Is it just a short ball? ] Yukimura hits a chop to the left of Sanada on the net.

"It's Xu Rulin!"

[Through the ball, but it's too slow! ]

[15:30]

Sanada squeezed the handle of his racket, he knew that Yukimura would crack his trick, but he didn't expect it to be so soon! [What's wrong, Genichiro Sanada, is this all you have! ]

"Invasion is like fire!"

[15:40]

"Invasion is like fire!"

Sanada used "fire" again and again, but Yukimura didn't give him a chance.

"Let's stop here." Yukimura unilaterally stopped the game.

"Yukimura!"

"Genichiro!" Yukimura looked at Sanada from the other side of the net, "Are you really playing tennis and not a duel?"

Yukimura was very dissatisfied with Sanada. After he cracked the trick, Sanada completely lost his sense of proportion and beat him up.They only know how to create opportunities to play high-pressure balls, which is much uglier than their previous games.

Completely out of order.This is Yukimura's evaluation of Sanada.

"..."

Both were silent when they returned home.Yukimura felt that he should give Sanada a time to think and reflect on his playing style.And Sanada felt embarrassed because of the game just now, so he silently increased the proportion of his tennis training time.

Is Yukimura really so strong that he can't match him?Sanada asked himself this way, as if he could return every ball perfectly with every gesture, and every ball's movement was so beautiful.Yes, not only coordinated, but also beautiful, a completely integrated aesthetic.

The author has something to say:

［］Indicates score or No.1 psychology.

Here is the second realm: competition.Just touched the side, but it was enough.
