Tennis: Big Man In Rikkai, Hands In Pockets

D4 competition area.

There was redness in front of him.

Everyone looked at the red clay net court in front of them, as if they had arrived in the west of America in an instant.

Generally speaking, this kind of court is only seen most often in western America where the geology is relatively dry.

now.

When everyone saw this court for the first time, they were inexplicably excited.

"Wow!! It's spectacular. It's the first time I've seen this kind of court. I don't know what kind of experience it is to play on it."

After seeing the red soil court, Marui couldn't help expressing emotion.

"During the national competition, the cost of building this kind of court should be very high."

"After all, Japan is not as dry as the Great West of America, and it takes more energy to maintain the red clay court."

"I really don't know why the tournament organizers spend so much time building this kind of court in the tennis competition for junior high school students?"

Liu Sheng didn't quite understand.

After all, for middle school students, this kind of clay tennis is too professional.

And many junior high school students are just interested in tennis. They may not play tennis again after entering high school. It is not necessary to adapt to this kind of clay court.

The clay court is an event-level court.

Appearing in the junior high school competition, it feels like a talent is useless.

"Hehe, because the organizer of this event has invested in the u-17 training camp."

Shen Liming smiled slightly.

It is not surprising that the organizer of this event has changed the court greatly.

With the participation of the u-17 training camp, everything is very reasonable.

Because this year's u-17 training camp is already preparing to call junior high school students, it is normal to use the clay net court to let the junior high school students adapt in advance.

To know.

If this year's World Championship also adopts the rule of changing venues, it will be beneficial for the junior high school students who are about to be called to familiarize themselves with this rule in advance.

even.

Shen Liming has reason to believe that a large part of the changes to the rules of the national competition this time are related to several rules of the world competition.

"So, if there's U-17 investment [it all makes sense."

Everyone in the Rikkai Tennis Club nodded after hearing it.

The rules of the u-17 training camp are inherently many and complicated.

With the national competition they invested in, it is normal to have more rules, and no one thought about other reasons.

"It's really bad luck for Rikkai to be randomly assigned to the Red 09 soil court.

Oshitari Yuushi looked at the replaced red clay net court and couldn't help expressing emotion.

"Eh? Yuushi? Why do you say that?"

Asked a question.

"For those of us who are used to hard courts, it is very difficult to adapt to a venue like the clay court."

"The biggest feature of this kind of court is that there will be greater friction between the ball and the ground when it hits the ground, so the ball speed will be slower than that of a harder court, and the corresponding rotation force will also be improved. y

"At the same time, because of the soil, players will slide in a small range when running and stopping suddenly, which requires extremely high control of the retreating muscles, and consumes more physical energy than a hard court."

"On the whole, the clay court is more entertaining than the hard court. It is a very big test for the players' physical fitness, will and skills."

"As far as I know, the net court in Higa Junior High School is a mud court like this.

"This also led to them being able to quickly adapt to the clay court."

"On the contrary, Rikkai beat them, it should be the first time to use this kind of red field net court."

Oshitari Yuushi explained.

Everyone in Hyotei suddenly realized.

indeed.

Not only Rikkai is big.

The same goes for their Hyotei.

present.

Everyone in Hyotei also focused on the court, preparing to learn some tricks from Middle-School based on Rikkai's big game.

the other side.

When they saw that they had randomly arrived at the Hongtuwang court, everyone in Bifuguo smiled.

"Hey, here comes the good show, it turned out to be the clay court."

"Now Chinen and the others will be able to play a very good role."

The corner of Kai's mouth was raised obviously, and he had great confidence in the next game.

Even the person sent by the opponent seems to be very famous.

But they, who have a natural court advantage, have no reason to be afraid.

"That's right, next, it's our turn to perform."

Ping Guzhang, with his messy white hair, showed a confident smile.

And beside him, Zhi Nian still had a serious expression on his face.

"The match between Rikkai University and Higa Junior High School doubles will begin soon."

"One game to decide the outcome!"

"Rikkai Osanada's serve bureau!!"

With the referee's announcement, the game officially began.

Rikkai's big cheers also resounded through the entire clay court.

"Crack...crack...crack..."

Court baseline location.

Sanada played tennis with his forehand, carefully feeling the elasticity of clay tennis.

"The elasticity is obviously weaker than that of the hard court. The ground is full of sand, and the friction is too strong. When encountering slightly larger sand, it is very likely that there will be an angle deviation.

"This kind of clay court really needs to get used to."

After two simple slaps, Sanada was able to feel the difference between the clay court and the traditional hard court.

Without too much hesitation.

"Shua!!"

Sanada played a serve to experience the specialness of the clay court.

"ah!"

After the tennis ball landed, the sound was obviously accompanied by the friction of sand.

And the ball played by Sanada just now was not slow, but after it fell on the clay court, the speed of the ball was obviously slow by nearly one-fifth.

And the longer the bounce time, the slower the ball speed.

"Hey! This ball is slow as a snail!"

"Go!!"

Now Chinen in the backcourt showed a trace of disdain on his face, he waved the net racquet and aimed at Sanada's feet, just a pat.

"ah!"

Compared with the speed of Sanada serve, Chinen's return speed is obviously faster.

At the same time, after landing, the speed of the ball did not change much, and it accelerated to pass by Sanada's feet.

The first ball, a break point.

15-0.

"Well…"

Sanada glanced back at the tennis ball that passed by his feet just now, his eyes were a little more vigilant.

The opponent obviously adapted to the clay court immediately.

It seems that he has also mastered the method to make the tennis ball hit the ground without slowing down.

And they are still unfamiliar with this piece of red clay court.

at the moment.

Sanada and Nioh still decided to defend first, and while adapting to the clay court, look for opportunities to counterattack.

But Higa Junior High School obviously didn't give this opportunity.

Quickly hit back Sanada's serve to score.

Obviously.

The opponent is not a fool, and will not give you enough time to adapt to the clay court.

"ah!!"

"30-0.

"ah!!"

"40-0,"

"ah!!"

"This round was won by Chinen and Pingguchang!!"

"1-0.

"The other party is really rude, it seems that Sanada and Niwang Paine are not used to the clay court and launched a fast break as soon as they came.

After working for so long, Shisaori also learned a lot about tennis, and slowly saw the way.

"Of course, this is a competition, and winning is the main purpose."

"How could anyone give Rikkai big reaction time."

Inoue Shou said the cruelty of the game.

That's right.

In competitive sports, winning is the eternal truth.

As the saying goes, "Nobody remembers how the runner-up ended up.

"If there is no mistake, Higa Junior High School will continue to launch attacks in the future. When Sanada and Nioh are not familiar with each other, they will quickly expand the advantage of the game and seize the initiative.

Mamoru Inoue made a prediction.

really.

When it was Higa Junior High School's Hirako field to serve.

The other party's smile became more obvious.

"boom!!!"

A serve quickly flew towards Sanada's feet.

The rotational force is very strong.

But the speed of the ball is not very fast.

Seeing this, Sanada stepped forward quickly, ready to hit the ball back.

However.

"Beep-!!"

Sanada's racquet slammed into the air, and his eyes widened.

When the tennis ball bounced off the ground, it was as flexible as a snake, and slipped past Sanada with a "chuckle".

Moreover, after the ball landed, the speed of the ball was faster, the changes were more, and the rotation force was stronger. It was impossible to figure out where the ball would bounce from.

Very weird.

"Wow! What was that ball just now? It's like a snake! It looks slippery, how do you hit that kind of ball?"

court side.

Horio, who was lucky enough to squeeze into the spectator seats, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the ball.

"Yes, yes! It looks more like a snake ball than Senior Haitang's snake ball!"

Katsuo next to him agreed.

The ball at Pinggu Stadium surprised everyone present.

The people in the Rikkai Tennis Club saw the ball, and their expressions became very serious.

certainly.

Except for Shen Liming, he still looked calm and natural, as if what happened to the court had nothing to do with him.

"Sure enough, the opponent is still hiding a killer move."

Mamoru Inoue looked in disbelief.

"Use the rough court ground to increase the friction, so that the ball can achieve the kind of twists and turns, which is difficult to figure out."

"The advantage of the clay court over Higa junior high school has been very obvious in these two goals.

"However, Sanada and Nioh seem to have not made a move yet, are they still observing?"

Chisaori asked.

"Well, it's very possible." Mamoru Inoue nodded, "But from the current point of view, this red clay court has a greater impact on Sanada, and on that King Ni... at least he hasn't become a [phantom] yet. Shen Liming, that is to say, is still watching."

"Fanshiqian!! (in the dialect, it is the name of a unique poisonous snake)"

Ping Guchang shouted.

The horn of attack was completely blown.

Shot after shot, the elusive course appeared on the clay court, passing Sanada frequently.

"ah!!"

Sanada hits the ground!

"30-0,"

"ah!!"

Sanada hits the ground!

"40-0.

"ah!!"

Sanada hits the ground!!

"This round is won by Chinen and Pingguchang!"

"2-0!!"

Bad start.

Lost two games in a row.

Rikkai, a big dream combination, suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo.

Here.

The audience couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"I can't lose, right?? I lost two games in a row, the serve game was broken, and now I can't even win the opponent's serve game?"

"I didn't expect Rikkai's biggest shortcomings to be exposed just by changing a clay court. Is there such a big gap?"

"Don't worry! You should still wait and see!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"Let two chase six!! It's a little trick!"

"I think it's quite stable. After all, Sanada's [Fenglin Volcano] hasn't been used yet!"

"It's true, hey! It's used!! It's used just after I finished speaking!!"

Among the exclamations of the audience.

Sanada also began to show his [Fenglin Volcano], wanting to open up this passive situation in one fell swoop.

"Aggression like fire!!!"

Sanada yelled and waved the racquet.

A few consecutive balls [Fanshiqian] allowed Sanada to keenly capture the curved route at the beginning.

this time.

He seized the opportunity, raised the racquet and launched an attack on Higa's unguarded second half.

The tennis ball seemed to ignite a flame, passing the center net at high speed in the air.

This ball speed.

this angle.

No doubt, a good shot!

At this time, Higa Junior High School had no time to return to the backcourt.

It seems that it is a certainty to win the score with this goal.

Available at this time.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Pingguzhang's face.

"Shua!!"

Almost instantly.

In the empty last 153 games of Higa Junior High School, a figure appeared.

It was the Pinggu Field that was still in front of the net just now!!

"Hey! Hi!!"

Pinggu raised the racquet and hit the ball back.

The winding path of the ball passed by Sanada again, and slipped to the backcourt in a blink of an eye.

"ah!!"

15-0.

"how come!!?"

This ball made all the audience present stunned.

weird!

It's so weird!

It was like a fairy art, the ball was hit back before everyone even reacted.

"Hey!! What happened just now??"

"It's as if the guy went from the front to the back all at once!! It's unbelievable!!"

Marui was taken aback and couldn't turn his head.

What happened just now is incomprehensible.

"Really!! I didn't see him move at all, like teleportation!"

Liu Sheng was also somewhat surprised.

then.

Everyone asked about Shen Liming.

Perhaps only Shen Liming who was present was most likely to know what happened.

"Shrinking land method."

Shen Liming spat out three words slowly.

And when these three words were clearly heard by everyone in the Higa Junior High Tennis Team, Kite was obviously surprised when he heard it.

He sneaked a few glances at Shen Liming, surprised that he knew [Shrinking Ground Method].

"Shrinking ground method, a kind of body method, achieves the purpose of confusing the opponent by keeping the upper body still and moving the lower body.

"When everyone's attention is on the tennis ball and the opponent, as long as you keep your upper body still, you will subconsciously think that the opponent is not moving."

"Combined with the unique sliding ability of the clay court, it can achieve the purpose of moving faster, which can also be said to be a trick.

Shen Liming accurately answered the doubts of everyone on the court.

Hearing this explanation, Seigaku and Hyotei all silently kept this matter in their hearts.

After all, they still have a great possibility to meet Higa Junior High School in the next game.

And the other side.

Because of Shen Liming's explanation.

Pingguchang and Chinen from Higa Junior High School looked at Shen Liming in the wrong way.

Get in the way.

is a hassle.

I have to find a chance to learn a lesson, even if he is Shen Liming, so what?

"In other words, as long as you focus more on the opponent's lower body, you can effectively avoid the temptation, right?"

Sanada understood.

Taking advantage of the other party's request for food again, he hurriedly intercepted it online.

"ah!!"

this time.

Sure enough, the opponent was one position behind, and Sanada successfully scored a point.

15-15.

for a while.

Hope suddenly rekindled.

And the other side.

Nioh seems to be still on standby.
