[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

"Tezuka, please."

"Ah, I won't be careless."

"Bunta-kun, come on!" Akutagawa waved at Marui, and was pulled back to his seat by Taki, "Watch the game well, Jiro."

Yukimura clutched his thermos cup and looked up at Marui: "Play in your style, Bunta."

"Um......"

"Are you thinking about what to do if you lose?"

"No."

[lie. ] "To put it bluntly, Tezuka is returning the ball, and the net is also your strong point. What are you afraid of?"

Marui was watching Tezuka across the field, chewing bubble gum unconsciously: "I'm not afraid."

"So with me here, what are you afraid of?"

Marui twisted his body and felt a little numb, but his heart was surprisingly calm. "Hey, Yukimura, I'll win and show you."

"Next is the third singles match, Bunta Marui of Likai University High School VS Tezuka Kunimitsu of Youth Academy."

"Advice please."

"Ah, don't be careless on the ground."

"The game starts, Tachimi Marui starts first."

"It's a win, Vice Minister Tezuka!"

"Yes, the deputy minister will definitely win."

"Seigaku fighting!"

Yukimura looked back at the cheerleaders.

"jo—u—sho—Rikkaidai! Let's go, Let's go Rikkaidai!"

[I definitely can't play like before, it's easy to lose points in the backcourt. ] It was rare for Marui to take off the weight in a formal game. He swayed and jumped slightly on the spot, and then took a good posture, throwing the ball and swinging the racket.

"Topspin, Wentai still uses the serve to hit the net."

"No, I was forced to retreat by Tezuka."

Marui was constantly pushed back to the bottom line by Tezuka, which didn't make him panic, and he was very focused at this moment.

"Here it is, the zero-cut ball." Gan's heartbeat beat faster, and he was stunned by Marui's reaction, "It's so fast, this prediction and the movement of the front and back courts."

Marui hit a short ball to the right of Tezuka, which was a beautiful volley.

[15:0]

Maori pushed Nio away from his body and clapped his hands. "Yes, Mrs. Wen."

"It's 6.7% higher than usual, which is a good sign."

"Awesome, so amazing, Wen Taijun!" The volley just now made Akutagawa so excited that he sat in the stands unable to vent himself, feeling a bit uncomfortable. [It's really beautiful. ]

The second ball Marui hit the net smoothly, but Tezuka hit the cross with a pump.

[15:15]

On the third ball, Marui's prediction failed, and Tezuka hit a lob with what he thought was a chopping and racket-drawing posture.

[15:30]

"It's not good." Nio was observing Tezuka intently. "It's really a difficult opponent. If it's me, it won't be much better at the beginning." His phantom will be very ineffective against Tezuka.

"Come on, Marui-senpai!" Kirihara didn't care who he was facing, anyway, Marui, whom he couldn't defeat, was very strong in his heart.

[It was just a test at first, Tezuka. ] This time, Marui counterattacked the opponent's flat shot directly in front of the net. [The strength is not as good as that of Sanada, but it can be tolerated. ]

"That's it, Wentai!" [Wentai, even in the singles arena, you are enough to dazzle the audience. ]

[30:30]

[Good start, has been robbing the rhythm of the field. ] Yukimura stroked the cup wall with his thumb, he arranged this match not for winning or losing, the most important thing is whether Marui can break through his own bottleneck.The opportunity has been given, and the next step can only depend on Marui himself.

Next, Tezuka's lob did not score. Marui had retreated to the backcourt to do a good swing forward and hit a complete smash.Tezuka's prediction of the ball was a bit off, and he failed to catch up.

[40:30]

"It's time for the game." Fuji felt a little nervous, "It's just Lihai's doubles player, can he compete with Tezuka?"

"Tezuka probably hasn't shown his true strength yet. He is currently under observation."

[Only one ball left. ] Marui hit the ball one by one. [Relax, reassure.Observe carefully. ]

Snapped.

Tezuka's straight ball was countered by Marui with a slice, and he went to the net within the air time of the ball. Tezuka's topspin ball was intercepted by Marui. The return ball hit the iron post on the net and bounced to Tezuka's front court. Tezuka was caught off guard.

[gameRikkaidai1-0]

"How, it's a genius."

"what."

"..." [Actually, you don't need to respond to me so seriously. ]

"Deputy Minister Tezuka was the first to go to the next game!"

The hearts of everyone in Qingxue raised their hearts.Gan timely comforted him: "Lihai's Marui is a net volley player. He can use the serve time to come to the net, and he has a relatively large advantage in the serve game."

"is it?"

Sanada is also not very optimistic about Marui: "Tezuka is just testing Marui now, and he still has to fight in the future."

In the second round, Tezuka opened up the "Tezuka Field". For more than a dozen rounds, Marui's returns were always within one shot of Tezuka.

[15:0]

[What a headache.I am running back and forth, and the opponent can easily deal with it in one place. ] Marui's ball was hit a bit falsely.

[30:0]

Liu stopped writing, and began to worry for Marui: "Because of the Tezuka domain, Bunta has already been controlled by the opponent, and it is absolutely impossible to continue like this."

[Tezuka’s ball control really makes people wonder how to deal with the incoming ball. If the ball is soft, it is easy to be caught off guard by strong shots, and if it is hard, it is a waste of energy. ] Yukimura secretly sighed that the Tezuka domain still appeared. [The most important thing is that it will be brought into the rhythm unconsciously. If this continues, Tezuka will play more and more smoothly, and Bunta will become more and more impatient. ]

[There must be a change, Mrs. Wen. ] There is a psychological gap between the usual practice match and the official match.The pressure on Marui to single out Yukimura in normal times is not as great as that of opponent Tsukasa now.

[gameSeigaku1-1]

"Senior Marui, was it easy to win the round?"

Akutagawa couldn't sit still, he ran to the front of the Lihai viewing area: "Come on, Mr. Wen!"

Marui was wiping his sweat with a towel, "Jirou-kun?"

"Wen Taijun's previous volley was so beautiful!"

"..." [My volley?But it's tiring to fight like this. ] Marui walks towards the bottom line, subconsciously switching shots.Tezuka already knew his trick "Iron Pillar Impact", so he kept playing high-speed balls to beware of him.As for "tightrope walking", he can't show it right now.

[what to do. ] Marui subconsciously looked at the coach's bench.Yukimura was sitting there, also looking at him. [Tezuka Territory's feeling is too subtle, it seems very familiar and powerless. ]

[Wentai, think about its essence. 】

[Needs to be straight, that is to say counteract spin. ]

King Ren clicked his tongue a few times: "No, Mrs. Wen was fooled into being too cautious."

"Indeed, Marui-kun seems to have competed with Tezuka Domain."

"Generally, Tezuka-kun took him away." Mori put away his playful smile, "Xiao Bunta's physical strength has declined rapidly."

"Senior Marui can hold on."

[gameSeigaku2-1]

"Huh——" [Finally, the serve was broken. ] Marui took the towel discouraged.

"Since this is wrong, try another angle."

"Other angles?" What do you mean? [Tezuka Yuri uses the anticipation of the opponent's return to apply spin in advance...]

[Prediction? ]

Marui recalls the usual practice match with Yukimura.

[Really, try it. ]

[0:15] Marui returns the ball to the net.

"I made a mistake." Liu turned a page and started recording again, "Wen Tai is trying to change his style of play."

How could the usual habit of returning the ball change so quickly... Marui rubbed the hard ground with the tip of his right toe.Suddenly paying so much attention to one's own movements will speed up the loss of points.

[Lihai has not lost a game in the past two years.If, if I lose...] Marui looked at Yukimura, Yukimura clenched his fist with his right hand and lightly punched his left shoulder.

[If you lose, I will carry it for you. 】

Gan began to notice the changes in Marui: "Marui-kun seems to be adjusting his routine."

"But this is still in the game, isn't the risk too great?"

[gameSeigaku3-1]

"Excellent!" Momoshiro felt that Tezuka would basically win this game.

"Huh—" Marui tried to slow down his batting rhythm as much as possible, "I feel a little bit, let's pull in the backcourt first."

So Marui didn't go to the net as before after serving the ball, but stayed on the bottom line.

Bu Er opened his eyes wide, quite surprised: "Sure enough, you have changed your style of play, Marui-kun."

"But what's the point of this?" Oishi was a little confused about the situation on the court. "Defending is just a waste of energy. Sooner or later, Tezuka will find a flaw and score."

After a few rounds, Marui hit a lob and suddenly went to the net. Tezuka saw Marui's movement, and hoped to make a pass, but was hit back by Marui. The tennis ball wiped the middle net and fell in front of the net.

[15:0]

Dashi couldn't help being startled: "This is..."

"Any luck?"

"Nice! Half volley." Akutagawa became excited again, with the same expression as Kirihara next to him.

"Some effect." Yukimura put the water glass aside and rubbed his hands, "It's not enough."

At the same time, Tezuka became wary.The next ball Marui's front and rear shifts had little effect on Tatsuka.

[15:15]

Marui blew a bubble and tried to recall the scene of the match with Yukimura.

[How to do it? ] Marui serves the net, Tezuka still opens Tezuka's field.

[At that time——] Marui subconsciously hit a slice and then stepped back. [Then Yukimura will take advantage of my retreat to hit the other side and I will go back and hit a half volley... eh? ] When Tezuka returned the ball, Marui was still in front of the net. Instead of stepping back and making a half-volley, he volleyed the ball back directly. The tennis ball did not return to within arm's length of Tezuka.

"What?" Marui blinked.

[30:15]

"The Tezuka domain has been broken! Is it a coincidence?" Qian didn't expect this situation, and kept brushing his hands.

"Puri, you're amazing, Bunta." Nioh looked at Sanada who was standing on the sidelines.

Marui was a little tangled at this time, he didn't know how he broke Tezuka's domain, the feeling just now was fleeting, and he couldn't find it anymore.

[It's a bit of a breakthrough, but the Tezuka domain is just a move. ]

Marui was still trying the next few shots, and he couldn't help but use the opportunity ball to hit the stunt "tightrope walk" at the game point.

[gameRikkaidai2-3]

"The current situation is still too unfavorable for Xiaowen." Mao Li stretched his waist, "He will still suffer in the future."

Marui was really uncomfortable. Tezuka didn't use Tezuka's field for the whole game, but was more flexible. His predictions were basically not very accurate.Moreover, Tezuka would no longer give him the chance to hit the net. This kind of special targeting made Marui helpless.

Yukimura on the sidelines paid careful attention to Tezuka again. [Why do you feel that your swing is unnatural? ]

[gameSeigaku5-2]

Next came Tezuka's serve, and the members of the Youth Academy were already winning the next game with joy.

"Ah——" Marui avoided looking at Yukimura, and buried his head in the towel. [I can’t win, it’s probably what Sanada said. ]

Yukimura looked back at the cheerleaders.

"jo—u—sho—Rikkaidai! Let's go, Let's go Rikkaidai!"

"Wen Tai, have you given up yet?"

"..."

"How many members of Lihai lost to you, did they give up? You are a genius Marui."

"I...I see."

"jo—u—sho—Rikkaidai! Let's go, Let's go Rikkaidai!"

[I will not compromise. ]

[You are a good opponent, Marui-kun. ] Tezuka rubbed his elbow lightly. [But I will win for Aigaku. ]

Marui's style of play in the eighth game is very delicate, and it can be said that he has made great progress.He began to consider the offense and defense of the whole court, and occasionally had unexpected ways of returning the ball in front of the net, which made Tezuka's prediction wrong.

In the end it was Tezuka who was superior.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbySeigaku6-2]

[Still lost...] Marui shakes Tezuka's hand in front of the net.

"Excellent match, Marui-kun."

"Yes, no wonder Sanada misses you so much." Marui blinked and motioned to Tezuka for Sanada on the sidelines.

"..." Tezuka remained silent for a while.

To be honest, Marui was a little afraid to face Yukimura.

"You played well, Bunta." Yukimura could say that he was very grateful to Tezuka, "Since you lost, I think we should have more exchanges on tennis?"

[! ] Marui ignored the guilt and loss in his heart, he looked up at Yukimura. [world of two people? ] Having such an idea, Marui hit his head with a racket. [What am I thinking...]

The next match was Mori's singles match. Kuwahara and others were on the sidelines trying to comfort Marui, but Akutagawa unknowingly took the lead.

"That's amazing, Bunta-kun. I can beat Tezuka-kun twice."

"We still lost."

"But I didn't win a single round." Akutagawa was depressed for a moment, "Sure enough, Taijun Wen is a genius!"

"Haha, thank you." Marui gave Akutagawa two pieces of bubble gum, "Orange flavor and apple flavor, for you."

Yagyu couldn't help laughing as he looked at Kuwahara, who was covered with dark clouds in the background. [Poor Jack. ]

[How much do you like watching movies, partner. ]

Mao Li made the hearts of everyone in Qingxue hang again, even if Kurosawa was unwilling to lose again, he was still crushed by Mao Li.

[gamesetandmatch,wonbyRikkaidai6-0]

When Li Hai finished the game, Bingdi also decided the winner in the first three rounds, so he was able to come.

"Looks like we'll meet again in the final this afternoon, Yukimura."

"I'm sorry, Atobe. You're going to be called the 'second in ten thousand years' again."

"..."

The author has something to say:

I'm a little free these days, so I'll try to write as much as I can.

Probably Tezuka's left arm is getting worse because of this.I can only say that if Tezuka really wants to go to the job site, this kind of behavior is not feasible.A season of the Professional Online is compared from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and the schedule is quite tight. It is really impossible to lose the game with an injured hand...

Yukimura is behind Marui, but what about Tezuka?Yamato?Ryugasaki?well.

What is faith? It is your beacon when you are hesitating, it lifts you up and pushes you forward when you are lost, it is your reliance and comfort when you are weak.Power may be equated with king or emperor, but it is not equated with faith.How much sincerity a person gives for others, how much trust can he gain.Conversely, Yukimura's original work is regarded as a belief, so in my eyes he should have paid a lot.
