Net King Returns to the First Generation

"Keep everyone waiting for a long time, and now the second singles match begins. The Kanto Youth Selection Team, Nioh Masaharu, against, the American West Coast Youth Selection Team, Andrew Iglidev!"

After a 10-minute break, the game officially started.

The audience had plenty of time to digest, and they also recovered from the tragic third singles before.They have seen the introduction of the second singles candidate of the US team from the brochures distributed by the venue, which is said to be the "never defeated" tennis machine.This made them excitedly look forward to the game.

Many fans and supporters of the American team who chartered planes from the United States shouted Andrew's name loudly.

This is really an uncomfortable scene.

"Coach Huamura told me just now that the player named Andrew Iglidev is called a tennis machine and has outstanding precision playing style." Yukimura slightly raised his head and looked at Nioh standing in front of him, "How is it? Is it your favorite opponent?"

"Pfft." King Ren slightly raised the corners of his lips.

This kind of reaction made Yukimura understand: "It seems that you have a lot of fighting spirit?"

"A good opponent?" King Ren asked noncommittally.He habitually adjusted the wristbands of both hands.

The lead block in it had been removed in advance.Nioh also adapted to the state of not carrying weight when preparing for the event.The sunshine, which was milder than that of the singles three, did not make him feel particularly bad, but the meeting with coach Bega before the game made him more excited.

A tennis machine...?

"Competing skills, will I still lose?" The tone of this sentence is very light, a rare tone with no ups and downs.

Yukimura deepened his smile in surprise when he heard the words: "Aren't you going to test it out as usual?"

"Trying." King Ni licked his lips, "I also have times when I want to show off, piyo~"

"It's also time to let that coach who doesn't know the so-called... know what a real performance is."

In the preparation area, under the care of his seniors, Kirihara, who had to sit peacefully on a chair to watch the game, shivered involuntarily when he caught a glimpse of the sharpness from the corner of Nioh's eyes.

He showed a surprised expression: "Senior King Ren..."

"What's wrong?" Ninja looked over.

"This kind of aggressive expression at the beginning is really rare." Kirihara said with emotion.

This sentence resonated with other Lihai University team members who were also in the preparation area.

Liu looked at Nioh and Yukimura who were talking, and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, when Nioh went out of the hall just now, it seemed that he met the coach of the American team?"

"Huh?! Just now?" Kirihara blinked, "What did you say?"

"I don't know." Liu replied very simply, "If you want to know, you can ask Nioh after the game."

"How can Senior Nioh tell the truth?" Kirihara muttered, and he turned the realization back into the arena: "However, to make Senior Nioh serious, maybe it's some kind of provocative words? ... It doesn't look right , just provocative words... ah, I really want to know what they said!" He raised his hand and scratched his seaweed head.

Hehe, in the eyes of Li Haida, what kind of image is King Ni?Can't help but think so.

And Renzu, who knew Nioh better (after all, he was a friend of friends), raised his hand thoughtfully and touched his chin.

In the auditorium, Gan picked up his notebook: "Masaharu Nioh and Andrew Iglidev, this game is really worth watching."

"What do you mean?" Taocheng turned around in puzzlement and looked at Gan sitting in the back row.

Pushing his glasses, Gan said in a flat tone: "Andrew Iglidev, his nickname is Iron Scorpion, and he is also known as a tennis machine."

"Machine? Does that mean his shots are particularly accurate?" Taocheng asked.

"Of course, but it seems to be more than that." Qian raised his head, "It also seems to mean that he himself is a machine."

"Senior?! Is he really a robot?!" The frightened Taocheng couldn't help but raise his voice.

"..." What a naive guy.

Why do you think so.

He took out a cup of dark green glowing drink from nowhere, held it up, and the background turned black inexplicably: "Do you want to try this, Taocheng?"

Immediately, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back, and Taocheng laughed dryly: "I was just joking."

Inside, the game has already started.

"It's a one-game decision, and Iglidev serves!"

Andrew, who held the tennis ball, turned his head and focused his eyes on the corner of the center line in the opposite half.He stared there for two seconds, tossed the ball expressionlessly, and swung his racket.

Snapped!

"Too much power?!" Gan in the auditorium pushed his glasses: how come?Not a tennis machine?Isn't this trajectory going to be out? !

The tennis ball reached the highest point after a certain distance after crossing the China Open. Seeing that the landing point was out of bounds...

"how come?!"

When approaching the corner, the tennis ball that fell in vain made a thumping sound when it landed, which fully demonstrated how powerful the ball is.

"15-0!"

Taking a casual glance at the tennis ball that landed, Nio, who had no intention of catching the ball, noticed the change in the trajectory and rotation of the ball.He straightened up and walked to the center line on the other side with an unchanging smile, waiting for his opponent's second serve.

Snapped!

Judging from the trajectory, there is no doubt that it was a tennis ball flying to the right corner, but it suddenly changed its direction near the center line.

Same as the previous serve, with a sudden drop after the highest point, and a sudden turn.

Unbelievable scenes, and the server's precise control of spin and strength revealed in such a technique.

Many tennis-savvy people in the auditorium gasped.

The only unharmonious scene was Nioh who was just holding the racket in a ready pose, and didn't make any moves, just stood and watched the tennis ball cross the broken line and hit the ground?

Boom!

"Out! 15-15!" said the referee.

Andrew raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Standing up straight, Nio's voice was two percentage points lower than usual, and there was a pent-up tone at the end of the sentence: "No, this ball did not go out of bounds. It was on the line."

The referee, who was stunned for a moment, turned his head again to judge the landing point of the ball. The tennis ball hit the ground vigorously left a clear and visible ball mark, and it was indeed on the line.

"...Correction, 30-0!" the referee shouted.

The game restarts.

In the preparation area, Renzu raised his eyebrows when he saw such a scene: "Did the referee read it wrong? Then this ball really hit the middle of the line?"

"Since it is called a tennis machine, it is only natural to have such ball control." Sanada folded his arms and said solemnly.

"No, it's not just ball control." Liu said lightly, "King Ni must have discovered something." Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown that expression.

That... like the expression of finding interesting prey.

Only if the ball control is particularly accurate, it will not be used by the US team as a model and a selling point to promote.Andrew's technology amazed the audience, but the other information he revealed through such technology is more useful on the field.

And the strength of the person called the "tennis machine" on the opposite side that Nioh saw through these two balls is not just ball control.

So that's the case, mobilizing every muscle to control the rotation and landing point...

But just like this, can it be called "hell"?

Don't be ridiculous, how many middle school students in Japan can do it to such a degree!

The third serve, like the first two, is aimed at the sideline.

There was a natural bend in the middle, but Nio still didn't move.

Heh, didn't see it clearly...or was it frightened?Thinking of this, Andrew blinked, but was surprised to find that just when the tennis ball was about to hit the ground, Nioh's figure suddenly appeared behind the tennis ball.

! !

what happened? !

Raise your hand, wave your clap...

Can't see the action? !

Snapped!

Boom!

"30-15!"

"So fast!" Echizen opened his eyes wide, and he unconsciously turned his head to look in Sanada's direction: "Is that 'Invisible Hibiki'?"

"No." Sanada folded his arms, "No."

"Eh?"

"It's true that Nioh can also hit the 'invisible racket', but the speed just now is just because he didn't wear a weight today." Liu answered the words lightly.

"...Burden?!"

After living with weight training for a long time, you will gradually forget the fact that you are wearing weights.

Nioh is like that.

After consulting the information, according to the conversion ratio of height and weight and the various values ​​​​of the physical examination, Nioh, who wears the maximum weight on himself all the time, occasionally forgets that he still wears a weight. Affected.

only occasionally.

——After all, even if you get used to it, when your physical strength is about to be exhausted, taking an extra tennis ball is a burden, let alone lead weights?

At first, it was just to speed up the strengthening of strength, and then it gradually became a way to improve the strength and physical fitness that one was born with. Later, it was to limit oneself so that it could reach the limit more often during practice. Through this method, it was possible to cross the bottleneck the goal of.

Even so, after the strength reaches a certain level, the weight-bearing will no longer be effective.

The body has reached its limit to some extent, and the increase in mental and willpower cannot be overcome only by carrying weight.

So... what about taking off the weight?

After removing the weight...

"30-30!"

Boom!

The tennis ball passed by and landed at Andrew's feet.

When the vision captures it, it is already the moment when the tennis ball is about to hit the ground. If you can't predict it, you won't be able to catch such a ball at all, but the prediction...

Do you have to see your opponent's movements? !

Andrew frowned and turned his head away.

According to the previous information, the strength of his opponent...hasn't reached such a level? !

"What do you mean by carrying weight?" In the preparation area, what Liu said made everyone stunned for a few seconds to varying degrees.Renzu pushed his glasses suspiciously: "If it's just for carrying weight, doesn't everyone in Li Haida wear it?"

"It's not the same." Liu pondered for a while, "It's true that we have the habit of carrying weights in practice and competitions, but Nioh's weights are much more than specified in the practice list."

"... How much is a lot more?"

"I can't tell." Liu tilted his head, "It depends on his own height, weight and physical condition. It's not like he never changes."

"...Your Lihai University's management is really loose." Atobe commented with raised eyebrows.

Turning his face to the direction of Atobe, Liu showed a faint smile: "Let's take this sentence as a compliment to our Lihai management."

"...Where do you feel that my uncle's words seem to be admiration?"

"Isn't this a compliment about our self-management?" Liu Yi pointed out, "At least whether it's the Kanto competition or the training camp, our Lihai University's results are very top-notch."

Unable to refute, Atobe could only snort coldly.

Tsk, it's not so much that your Lihai management is good, it's better to say that most of you Lihai are a bunch of people with a heart, right?

With Yukimura as the head, including you, the data man, Nioh and Yagyu, the pair of liars, and the red-haired guy who looks innocent and cute, but is actually not a fuel-efficient lamp that Jiro misses...

Thinking about it this way, Sanada is actually an honest person?

Atobe was taken aback by his own thoughts.

He couldn't help but raised his hand and patted the shoulder of Sanada who was standing not far away: "It's really hard work for you, ah."

"..." What happened again, this young master's habit of talking to himself really needs to be changed!

Sanada raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, without saying a word.

On the court, Andrew, who had disrupted his initial plan by the unexpected opponent's outburst, frowned.

In his eyes, the opposite field is divided into small and small formations similar to grid points, the positions of the corner points and the center point, and the position of the opponent. If the landing point is set at that position, it needs to The straight-line distance and curve distance, what kind of rotation is needed for this ball...

He threw the tennis ball and swung the racket hard.

Snapped!

right?

No, it's on the left!

In the eyes of Nioh, who was staring at the tennis ball, the spinning tennis ball was clearly visible after the dynamic vision came into play.

Is it a side-spin ball, and the upper left press is added, then the ball will land in a very short time after going to the right.

Hurry up!

With a little tiptoe, he appeared behind the tennis ball in a flash.

Snapped!

"30-40!"

one more ball...

Go straight?

The straight line between two points is the shortest, and the internal rotation ball plus super rotation breaks the air resistance at high speed——

It's too slow!

Snapped!

Boom!

"Gamewonby Nioh, 1-0!"

"It broke so quickly?!" The dry glasses in the audience flashed frantically, "The strength of King Ni..."

"That kind of speed can't just be explained by 'taking off the weight'?" Fuji said softly.

Liu, who held the notebook in his hand but didn't intend to record it, nodded: "That's true. However, I have never collected the data of King Ni. It can’t be collected anyway. Therefore, I can’t explain in more depth what kind of technique he is using now. Taking off the weight is only one of the reasons.”

"Next is Nioh's serve game. If he uses that, it should end soon." Fuji touched his chin with a smile, "Maybe this game will end sooner than expected ?”

"That?" Echizen raised his head curiously.

"Ah, that's what you're talking about." Liu Xin nodded understandingly, and he looked at Nioh who was smiling and talking to Yukimura: "However, the premise for him to use that is that he wants a quick victory. At present If you come and see..."

Nioh, who returned to the field after the exchange of venues, glanced at Andrew on the opposite side: Well, are you going to observe me first?

But don't just observe, you will lose directly.

He tossed the tennis ball twice: I haven't felt this brisk for a long time.The sun is gone too?It's the perfect weather for running.

I had planned to end the game sooner.

Pfft, think about it, if you want to make this game more interesting...

Nioh lightly tossed the tennis ball, which was not very high.

Swing the racket with the left hand, instead of jumping up, use the swing of the big arm to drive the racket.

Such an action——

"Hey, this action is very similar to your super high-speed serve, Mr. Qianshi?"

Sitting on a chair and listening to the voice, Qianshi turned his head and saw Coach Huacun with an excited expression.

Coach Huacun, always wearing a white coat and wearing rimless glasses, took two steps forward, his eyes became wild: "No, it's just that the movements look similar, and the technical essentials are very different from your super high-speed serve, Qianshi-kun. .This kind of action...where have I seen it..."

The expression of coach Huacun, who was lost in deep thought, made the teenagers silent for a few seconds.

I always think this woman is weird...

Regardless of coach Huacun, who was immersed in his own world, the others who continued to watch the game gradually fell into a fog: the movement of this ball seemed to have been seen somewhere before, and the skill of this ball seemed Completely different from before? !And this ball...

Wait, why am I thinking about such a question?No matter what kind of trick it is, wouldn't it be good to find out how to crack it?

... Could this be...

"Is this the principle of 'Phantom'?" Atobe suddenly said.

"Is that what you think?" Liu asked back.

After being silent for a while, Atobe shook his head: "No, if it's a 'phantom', we wouldn't be able to feel the fluctuation of mental power here. So, what Nioh is doing now..."

"Maybe he was just too excited and couldn't control it. Maybe this kind of behavior is part of the layout. Or maybe it's purely for misleading or for his own pleasure. There may be many kinds, and the probability cannot be estimated." Liu smiled lightly. , "Speaking of which, you haven't watched the whole thing, have you? The performance of the fraudster."

"The trickster's... performance?"

"Yes." Liu nodded, and he opened his notebook. "Have you not noticed one thing? Compared with opponents who are advertised as 'tennis machines' and 'never defeated', they have never lost in public matches." ’ This is the same for Nioh.”

As soon as this sentence came out, even coach Huacun looked over.

"Never lost a public match"?Nioh?

"...Wait, let me think about it." Ninzu pushed his glasses, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face: "Speaking of which, King Ni has been in the main election since the beginning of the country, right? It’s true that you’ve played so many games...do you never lose?”

Atobe gradually changed his face: "My uncle's memory will not be a problem. Apart from never losing, Nioh is the one who played the most games in Lihai University?"

Counting now, Nioh, who seldom comes to the bench and has been waiting for a long time in the first doubles position, has basically played every game in the league.

And... did they all win? !

Why did I just notice now? !

Frowning fiercely, Atobe was silent for a while before opening his mouth again: "Well, since it's 'never lost in an open competition', what about your internal qualifying competition? I know your Lihai University's main selection competition system and Other schools are different, they play round-robin points competition, even if they are in the main selection, they will definitely meet in the selection competition."

"Inside." Liu shrugged, "Guess?"

"..." Hey, since you started the topic yourself, don't change your painting style suddenly. Is everyone in Li Haida so peculiar?Ah huh?

Atobe raised his chin impatiently: "Let me guess? Does that mean you lost to Nioh?"

Without denying it, Liu turned a page in his notebook, but still had no intention of writing: "I don't know what kind of method Nioh plans to play today? It's been a long time since I saw him playing singles. I'm really looking forward to it. "

"..." Is this ignoring my uncle?

Atobe hugged his arms: What are you talking about? It's been a long time since I saw him playing singles. Isn't it the other people in Lihai University who indulged that guy Nioh to play doubles all the time? !What I said before is more interesting than singles and doubles because in addition to two opponents, there are partners to tease.

……and many more……

This means...

trick the word...

And the performance of the fraudster...?

Atobe turned his head thoughtfully.

On the field, the second inning was halfway through.

The sky suddenly darkened.

A gust of wind blew by, and a few drops of rain hit the ground under the action of the wind.

"It's raining?!" There was a small commotion in the auditorium.

Seeing that the raindrops falling on the ground were getting bigger and bigger, it was very likely that there would be a refreshing rainstorm in the summer afternoon, and the organizer quickly responded.

The mobile roof above the venue was quickly closed, and all the lights on the roof were turned on.

Under such lighting, every move of the two players competing on the field was captured more clearly by the screen.at the same time--

"Gamewonby Nioh, 2-0!"

Wait, when did the second round end? !
