The Strongest in Prince of Tennis

Chapter 40 Swallow Return

“Completely to the ground, no ball bounced?”

“Did I miss something?”

Kikumaru scanned the surroundings quickly.

The onlookers outside the barbed wire were all surprised, as if they had seen something very incredible.

On the court, Fuji squatted steadily, maintaining the posture that would appear after chop was used. On the court opposite Fuji, Shimura was still standing on the far left of the court as before.

Apart from not hitting the ball, Fuji and Shimura didn’t look much different from before.

But Kikumaru soon noticed the difference.

The position of the tennis ball is wrong.

Fuji had always attacked Shimura’s backhand and hit the ball near the left sideline of the court. Shimura stayed on the left side of the court for this reason, but now the tennis ball is under the iron net on the far right and rear of the court.

The left corner of the court.

Shimura held a racquet and turned to look at the tennis ball that had fallen on the ground.

Ball speed: 95.7km/h

Speed: 248.9r/min

Rotation direction: down

Bouncing height: 9.4cm

Location: The right side of the court, 50.6cm from the right sideline, and 105.5cm from the back sideline.

“The tennis ball that won’t bounce…”

“Using a powerful chop to deal with my dribbling, made the tennis ball bounce very low after it fell on my side, and the ball would sink quickly due to its strong spin, almost sliding against the ground.”

“Swallow Return?”

“Really a very interesting ball!”

Shimurasuke murmured softly.

Hit the opponent’s topspin ball with a chop. The two rotations are multiplied to allow the tennis ball to carry a stronger rotation force. The tennis ball will begin to sink when it bounces after falling on the opponent’s court. The tennis ball will basically maintain a horizontal state afterwards. The ground is almost only one or two centimeters.

As time goes by, not only will the tennis ball not continue to rise, but the ground clearance will continue to drop due to gravity.

For this genius Fuji.

Shimura is no stranger.

“15:0.”

The referee’s voice rang.

Fuji scores!

Holding the racquet, Shimurasuke returned to the court center line and looked at the opposite court.

Although he lost a goal, Shimura was not disappointed or annoyed. Instead, with a happy smile on his face, he admired and said: “First he used the diagonal chop near the sideline to deliberately target my backhand, and now he uses my backhand. The kick used such a powerful chop.”

“Good job, Fuji.”

Shimura grinned.

“Thank you Shimura for your appreciation.”

Fuji said with a smile, “But I’m even more curious about what Shimura-san will do next, what kind of method he plans to use to change the current unfavorable situation.”

“By the way, Shimura-san.”

“My chop is called Swallow Return!”

Fuji continued.

“Swallow Return is a good name!”

Shimura nodded, and then said, “As for the current situation, I don’t want to change.”

“Hurry up and serve, Fuji!”

“I am looking forward to your Swallow Return!

Shimura urged.

With feet open, knees slightly bent, and racquet placed in front, Shimura quickly made the move of a tennis player waiting for the time.

“Don’t plan to change the situation, do you want to continue seeing my Swallow Return?”

“As expected of Shimura classmates.”

“Really confident!”

Fuji’s eyes fell on Shimura’s face and he said, “I will see Swallow Return again soon, and I am also very curious about how Shimura intends to deal with my Swallow Return.”

The voice just fell.

Fuji took the tennis ball out of his pocket again.

The bang sounded!

As in the previous serve, Fuji again used a diagonal cut to hit the ball to the sideline on the left side of the court.

There was another bang!

Shimura also rushed to the left corner of the tennis court again before the tennis ball landed and pulled Fuji’s serve back, while Fuji re-cut the ball that Shimura pulled back to the far left of the court again with a diagonal cut.

“Bang! Bang!”

“Bang! Bang!”

The tennis ball shuttles back and forth on both sides of the court along a similar trajectory.

“Stand up again.”

Kikumaru spoke.

But this time his sight did not leave the court.

“It is indeed a stalemate.”

Gan nodded and said, “Similar to the previous ball, Fuji once again restrained Shimura’s power with a diagonal chop hitting the left side of the field.”

“But Shimura was not willing to be restricted by Fuji.”

“Look at it, the tennis ball on Fuji’s side is getting closer and closer to the right back corner of court, and the speed of the ball is getting faster and faster. Inside the rectangle, the diagonal is the longest, and Shimura returns the ball along the diagonal of the court. , He is trying to increase the power of the backhand stroke.”

Gan reminded.

Like Kikumaru, his dry eyes didn’t dare to leave Shimura and Fuji.

Similar opening.

I’m very curious about what happened to the ball that Fuji played that didn’t bounce up to the onlookers’ surprise.

“Is it time to start?”

“Fuji!”

Shimura secretly said in his heart.

With the force of the arm, racquet was again drawn with a backhand by Shimura, and the tennis ball blasted towards the rear right corner of the opposite court at a speed nearly half of the speed faster than the previous one.

The right rear corner of the court.

Fuji has squatted down slightly, and his arms have also been raised.

“Shimura-san, are you urging me to use Swallow Return as soon as possible?”

“Then I am as you wish!”

Fuji also secretly said.

After an instant.

The tennis ball drawn by Shimura fell heavily in front of Fuji.
