Net King Returns to the First Generation

Nioh and Maori on the field began to talk to each other, and other people outside the field began to discuss what happened "half a year ago".

They already knew that Mori and Nioh were former partners, and that they had a good relationship.But from their conversation, it turns out... have they played a game before?

And what is "don't always switch partners"...

The eyes of the others couldn't help but glance in Li Haida's direction.

Liu, who knew more or less, turned his head: "Liu Sheng?"

Folding his arms, Liu Sheng raised his hand and pushed his glasses: "What's wrong?"

"When you and Nioh practiced co-tuning before, didn't you..."

Noticing that everyone was listening with bated breath, Yagyu's fingers paused by the glasses.

He nodded: "Yes, half a year ago, I formed a team with Nioh and played a practice match with Senior Maori and the others."

After a pause, he added: "In Ice Empress."

"!!" Ice Emperor and the others were right next to Li Haida, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this sentence: "In Ice Emperor?!"

"High school." Liu Sheng added again.

"Then Atobe..." Shinobu asked hesitantly.

Yagyu raised his head and thought about how to answer: "I was attacked by mental power. In the last game, after being attacked by Ochi-senpai's mental power, I couldn't make a complete and correct counterattack. See Atobe-kun now It looks like it was attacked by mental power."

"Senior Ochi's mental power attack known as the 'Spiritual Assassin'...is different from other people's mental power moves." After recalling the difficult and sweet match, Yagyu ticked off lightly. Curved lips: "Very different."

"A sense of oppression?" Yukimura asked.

Liu Sheng frowned slightly and thought about it, then shook his head: "It's not just a sense of oppression. It's like holding a barrier, and I want to break through it no matter what. But all my energy is unconsciously put on breaking through the barrier. In the end instead……"

That's all he said.

Such a metaphor made everyone suddenly, and they turned to the field again.

I have been working hard to swing the racket, the trace of the shot...every time I come to the end, I have made mistakes of one kind or another.

It shouldn't have happened to him, mistake.

"1-0"

"2-0"

"3-0"

……

"6-0"

King Ni was a little helpless: it wasn't that he was lazy, but that the young and old Atobe was unwilling to be tricked and tried to break through the barrier...

He finally knew how Sanada felt when Atobe robbed the ball during the youth draft.People who are used to playing singles really don't have any intention of attacking and defending at all... It is clearly agreed that he will catch this kind of return!

Puff, I'm only two steps away from the ball, why did you come over? !

...I thought I could change the trick.

Nioh secretly rubbed his left elbow, which had started to feel sore, and made complaints about it. Sure enough, Tezuka's tricks could not be used for a long time.

He rubbed the tennis ball between his fingers, threw it up, swung the racket, and pulled the ball.

Snapped!

Ochi hit the tennis ball with his racket, but——

"OUT! 1-6!"

Atobe turned his head and saw Nioh.

The white-haired boy who hadn't turned into "Tezuka" after removing the phantom looked over with a subtle look: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

"……speak English."

"Pfft, I don't mind using 'Tezuka Phantom' to keep the ball out of bounds, but Atobe, it's better for you to calm down."

"...Hmph, I don't need you to remind me!"

Seeing that the blond boy turned around, the anxiety in his eyes was clearly visible, Nioh secretly sighed: I will bear the evil I did... I should have made the move of Ochi-senpai more serious before the game .

Or you should have prepared in advance to interrupt the "spiritual power attack" just now!

and also……

Senior Maori has improved a lot.

It seems that Ochi-senpai's attack power is stronger, but...

Nioh regained his posture.

After this one goal, Nioh did what he said.

"Keeping the ball out of bounds all the time".

Although Atobe will still be forced to make mistakes due to mental attacks, as long as the mistakes are controlled within a controllable range, it does not mean that if a mistake goes out of bounds or fails to pass the net, Nioh can seize the opportunity to go up the ball layer by layer Add rotation.

It's delicate work, but Nioh said he can do needlework very well, and it wouldn't be more difficult to adjust the spin on the ball to increase or decrease or change through the angle.

After six balls, he once again got the right to serve.

At this time the score was already "6-6".

turning point.

Niwang touched his braid, which was soaked in sweat.

He glanced at the two tall seniors opposite him again, and Atobu who could feel the low air pressure even though he could only see his back in the front court.

turning point.

At this time, I suddenly remembered, what did I seem to have said to Atobe at this time in the previous life?

"If it was Tezuka Kunimitsu, he would never give up in the end."

So there was no way to hit a zero-style serve, so I continued to use Tezuka Phantom until I couldn't support it and fell to the ground.

...It's like Tezuka when he played singles with Sanada in the national competition.

Ah, such a stubborn and determined self...

When can it appear again?

Nioh blinked and let go of his braid.

"Xiao Renwang, if you don't serve the ball, you will violate the rules~" Maori waved his hand to remind him.

"Pupina." King Ni pursed his lips.

He estimated the condition of his left hand, threw the tennis ball, bent his knees, and swung the racket.

Snapped!

Whoosh~da, hiss——

The tennis ball finally stopped at the bottom of the China Open.

"7-6!"

"...Can you still hit a zero-style serve?! Your hand..." Atobe turned his head and suppressed his voice.

Nioh shook his head at Atobe: "Don't worry. Instead of letting the tiebreak seesaw the score to double digits or even triple digits...that's called being unable to hold on."

Phantom of Tezuka!

"8-6!"

"Gamewonby Atobe, Nioh, 7-6!"

The first game is over.

During the short break, the two sides exchanged tactics on the rest chairs on the sidelines and drank water to replenish their energy.

Atobe frowned: "Is your hand really okay?"

"It's okay. I didn't use zero serve and Tezuka phantom on every ball...do you understand?" Nioh lowered his voice.

Atobe looked at him suspiciously: "You mean the trick you used when you competed with Fuji? But I didn't feel your spiritual power."

"That's because you're trapped in the mental power barrier of that senior 'Blue Stirring'." King Ni explained.

Atobe continued to look at him suspiciously: "My uncle's insight says you are talking nonsense."

"...Hey, hey." King Ren helplessly raised his hand to hold his braid, "You can't even use 'Empire of Ice', so why are you talking about insight?"

"..." Atobe gave him a hard look, "I won't be affected forever."

"Pfft." King Ni shrugged, "Then let them see your courage? Speaking of which, the second round will be even more difficult."

"Why do you say that?" Atobe asked.

Nioh turned his head and glanced at Ochi and Mori, who were sitting on the rest chair next to him, who hadn't exhausted much energy before turning around again: "Don't you think the round just now was played too fast?"

"Ok?"

"I mean, although I have played singles with Mori-senpai, and I have also played doubles with the combination of the two of them... But the reverse is also the same?" Nioh narrowed his eyes slightly, "Compared to Yagyu, Mori-senpai To get to know me better."

"...Oh?" Atobe couldn't help but look at Nioh carefully after hearing this sentence, "I know you better than Yagyu? I remember that you and Mouri have never used the same tune, and you can't exchange identities."

"Hehe, how can I switch identities if I'm more than ten centimeters taller?" King Ren paused as he stroked his braid, and raised the corners of his mouth: "And the same tune, we've used it before."

"I used it in the first match." He looked at Atobe and added, "Singles match."

"...I understand." Atobe nodded, "Forcibly perform synchronism with the opponent to collect data?"

"I see what you mean."

I don't know what to say now.

Nioh thought: In his previous life, he was not familiar with Senior Maori at all, and his strength was far behind; this time, his strength has increased, and his relationship with Senior Maori has also improved.But in the past two years, every time I met Maori seniors in the main selection competition, I caught the fact that the seniors were weak in mental strength and used "synchronization" and "phantom" instead, so that the mental resistance of Maori seniors is not the same now; forming doubles Later, in the official competition (required not to use phantoms and synchronisms), I showed my preference in regulating rhythm and showing off skills...

The year when he formed a team with Senior Maori happened to be a technical recovery period, which means that the "formation" of many tricks was completed under the witness of Senior Maori.

"The effect of force is mutual." King Ni sighed, "Puff, if you enjoy the benefits of sufficient data, you have to accept its disadvantages."

"You're kind-hearted." Atobe snorted and said, "It seems that you plan to show something else?"

"Puff?"

"What did you say 'the first game ended too quickly'." Atobe glanced at Nioh's arm, "I assume your strength is mental strength?"

"I'm obviously a technical person." Nioh smiled and licked his lips.

Soon the second game will start.

This is also a condition that is more unfavorable to the junior high school student when the two sides are fighting-Atobe is good at tug-of-war, and Nioh has also concentrated on training his physical fitness, but all their previous games were still one-off games.

The rhythm of the three-game system——

"Little King Ren, are you tired?" Mao Li tilted his head and smiled.

"Senior wanted to say, did you put in the effort in the first match?" King Ren raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't say that." Maori put his finger on his lips, "I just think...you sweat a lot, Little King Ren."

"Pfft, the sun is just too big." King Ni complained casually.

The sun is really big.

It happened to be a sunny day, and it was near noon, and there was not even a trace of wind.Fortunately, it is December, and it is in the mountains again.What this kind of sunshine brings to sports teenagers is not so much a burden, but a thrust that allows them to move faster.

"They" does not include Nioh.

The silver-haired boy with his pigtails said, no matter it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, I hate as long as the sun is out!

Mao Li couldn't help but laugh: "You are still the same."

At this point in the game, it was already different from what Nioh remembered.

When I stood on the field, I recalled many details of the game that I thought I had forgotten, such as how I fell down in the tie-break of the first game, such as how I looked at Atobe after I fell down. One to two.

But now, standing on the court, he has exhausted a lot of physical strength, but it won't be a burden to play two more games; his arm is also sore, but it is far from the state where he can't lift it; his mood...

Is it jumping?

Still excited?

Nioh let go of his braids: "Please be more serious, Senior Maori."

The start of the second game was the serve of the junior high school group.

What Nioh said when he exchanged venues made Atobe roughly understand that he didn't intend to continue using "Phantom".That being the case, the positions of the two of them changed.

Atobe returned to the baseline, while Nioh stood in the frontcourt.

Atobe, who is good at tug-of-war, is of course a super-aggressive player, but liking and being good at it are two different things. He is indeed better at bottom-line offense and defense.As for Nioh... Nioh is also good at bottom-line offense and defense, but his unique sense of rhythm can often cause strange effects when attacking and defending in the frontcourt.

The impact of Ochi's mental power attack on Atobe has not completely disappeared.

Nioh recalled that the reason why the former Shijibu was able to recover at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round was because the score of the tie-break in the previous life reached 50, and his own fall also caused a big... Incentive effect.

What's more, in the previous life, Kawaji even tried to block the ball for Atobe...

Anyway, that's all from the past.

This time the tie-break ended quickly, and Ochi's mental power attack was also sharper than in the previous life (Nioh: Is this because of my relationship with Yagyu?).

Of course, even if it is affected, it is minimal.

Atobe is not someone who can accept that he is "delaying" with peace of mind.

Ordinary tee.

The reason why he didn't use Tannhauser was that Atobe knew clearly that he might make a serve error in order to use Tannhauser.

From the comparison of strength on paper, in terms of physical fitness, the high school student group is higher than the junior high school student group.The advantage of height is not only reflected in the potential energy difference caused by the height difference when hitting the ball (the ball will be faster when the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy), but also in the reaction speed to catch the ball (the arm span and step distance are larger ).

As soon as the competition started, Atobe deeply felt what Nioh meant when he said, "Compared to Yagyu, Mori-senpai understands me better".

The batting style and habitual movements are developed over a long period of time.

Of course, Nioh is a person who is euphemistically called "unable to collect data", but the angle of his starting swing and the way he arranges and rotates are actually traceable.His style of play is changeable, even if he is not in the "phantom" state, he can use "other people's" tricks at will.But even so, you can't say that "Nioh's Tennis" doesn't exist.

No one can say what "Nioh's Tennis" is like, but everyone knows that "Nioh's Tennis" is the trickster's tennis.

Rather than spying, a more appropriate word...is habit.

Snapped!

When a tennis ball is hit by a racket, even if the rhythm of the shot is suddenly changed, and the chip is replaced by a backhand, Mao Li does not have an expression of "unexpected" surprise in the face of such a return.

Take a big stride to the landing point and strike back!

The first game was stretched for a long time, and Atobe showed his talent in the tug-of-war, and used the long battle to get rid of the influence of mental power.

But he was more restless than he appeared.

because--

Whirlwind Vacuum Slash!

"Yo~" Mao Li, who had swung his racket and hit the ball back, blinked at Nioh, "Xiao Nioh, I seem to know you better than I imagined."

"Pfft." King Ni glanced at the trace department, confirming that the blond boy hadn't fully recovered.

When he raised his hand, it was a flying swallow returning to its nest.

Maoli, who caught the tennis ball before the ball hit the ground, raised his wrist lightly: "Catch up~"

Snapped!

Backcourt through the ball.

Ochi's raising his hand is a baseline volley.

Atobe, who started running ahead of time, spotted the trajectory of the ball (it was higher than expected!), gritted his teeth and jumped up.

Insight made him understand that Ochi's height of 226 centimeters gave ordinary baseline volleys a much higher arc than lobs.He jumped up with all his strength to catch the ball--

The waltz of destruction!

thump.

"Gamewonby Atobe, Nioh, 1-0!"
