I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 5 Ace Serve

"Are you ready?"

Outside the stadium, Suzuki Ryota, who volunteered to serve as the referee, looked at the two people below. After confirming the status of both parties, he nodded and said:

"The match will be decided in one set!"

"Ishikawa serves, the game is over!"

The words fell.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ishikawa.

Snapped!

I saw him picking up a tennis ball from the ground, bending down and hitting it gently.

"It looks pretty much like that."

"Pretending, what can a rookie do? If he's lucky enough to hit a great shot, he thinks he can play the game?"

"Hehe, isn't that right? Do you think anyone is the head of the Atobu department? You want to get ahead in the first grade, and you have read too many hot-blooded comics, right?"

Almost no one in the surrounding audience was optimistic about Ishikawa.

This is not from one's own standpoint, but from the heart.

after all.

These people have at least had a year of training. Physical training, basic tennis training, rules and techniques, etc.

The reason why the original Atobe was able to sweep away the Ice Emperor right after returning home was because it was very strong in itself.

As for the newcomer in front of me.

Having basic training on his own is unparalleled, let alone compared to Atobe.

Actually.

At this time, Ishikawa on the court was as calm as possible. But it was his first time on the court, his first actual battle, and he still inevitably showed unnecessary movements.

"First time playing?"

Seeing Ishikawa's little move, Renzu was surprised: "Newborn calves are really not afraid of tigers. How dare a newcomer dare to challenge that guy Shinohara!"

Saburo Shinohara.

14 years old.

A third-year member of the Tennis Club of Hyotei Junior High School.

Although he is not a great player, in the 200-player Ice Emperor, those who can qualify for practice matches will definitely be considered the main players or even core players in other regional competition-level teams!

and.

Shinohara still used Ryo Shishido, who was the first choice of Hyōtei and was good at fast breaks, as his model. Coupled with his fiery temper, he is also a third-year player, so many team members are afraid of him and are unwilling to compete with him!

This situation.

Renzu could only think that this first-year newcomer was too reckless.

Actually.

Although Hyotei's rules are strict, the supervisor (coach) Sakaki Taro and the director Atobe Keigo are both people who understand everything clearly.

If there is real talent, they cannot fail to cultivate it.

Especially Atobe, even though he doesn't usually show it. But Renzu knew that the other party was very concerned about the successor.

Unfortunately.

So far this year's recruitment has been going on, Renzu has not met any talented newcomers.

"But, if this newcomer can defeat Shinohara, well..."

Realizing that his idea was too outrageous, Renzu shook his head subconsciously.

call!

at this time.

Ishikawa took action.

I saw him throwing the tennis ball high.

"This height?"

Renzu raised his eyebrows, thinking that the opponent was going to jump up and smash the ball. But Ishikawa did not do this. Instead, he adjusted his posture to ensure that his body's center of gravity was stable before lifting the racket.

But such a delay.

The tennis ball had reached its highest point, and then began to decline rapidly, which made Renzu shake his head in shock.

"The movements are too unfamiliar."

Listening to the comments from people around him, he originally thought that Ishikawa had specially practiced serving. But now it seems that the opponent is simply a newcomer who has just come into contact with tennis.

The key to serving lies in grasping the details.

In addition to body control, you also need to accurately calculate the process of throwing the tennis ball upward. A perfect serve is when the tennis ball reaches its highest point and the racket snaps down.

This kind of serve has the shortest time, the highest height, and the greatest effect and power!

And now.

Ishikawa obviously missed the best opportunity to hit the ball.

This kind of low-level mistake would not be made even after practicing tennis for a week.

This moment.

Renzu was very disappointed.

The anticipation for this game disappeared in an instant.

Uh-huh!

but.

But Ishikawa didn't know Renzu's change of mentality.

At this moment, all he could see was the tennis ball in mid-air.

That's right.

This is his second serve, but unlike before, he must ensure that the serve can accurately land on the second line in front of his opponent, which is the so-called inside of the service line.

Therefore, Ishikawa concentrated hard and imagined that the racket in his hand turned into a sword. Turn the serve into a process of swinging a long sword.

Suddenly.

Ishikawa, who has a full level of kendo, has a completely different spirit than before. As his arm swayed, there was an afterimage of the racket in his hand.

Bang!

The tennis ball suddenly disappeared in mid-air!

Then there was another crisp explosion on the other side of the stadium!

Before anyone could react.

There was a bang.

The tennis ball actually hit the barbed wire behind Shinohara.

"hiss!"

Suddenly.

There was a gasp from the crowd.

"this"

Shinohara Saburo was stunned on the spot.

As the person involved, he had no idea what was happening. Looking down at the slowly rolling tennis ball on the ground, his pupils shrank again.

"What a fast swing speed!"

Off the field.

Renzu also had a look of surprise on his face.

If we say that the first half of this serve was extremely unfamiliar and lackluster. The serve in the second half was like the slash of a top kendo master, fast and accurate!

He didn't even see clearly where the hitting point of this serve was!

"That, that."

Suzuki Ryota, who was sitting in the referee's seat, was in trouble.

His face was full of confusion. He wanted to make a penalty but didn't know where the ball just landed.

too fast!

He didn't even see clearly as the referee!

Suzuki looked at Shinohara on the court, then at the newcomer on the opposite side, gritted his teeth, and was about to call the serve a fault.

"okay!"

But just then, a deep voice sounded. Suzuki looked down subconsciously, and his expression changed: "Nin, Renzu, you... why are you here?"

"Come down."

Renzu glanced at him coldly, making Suzuki lower his head in guilt, and then quickly stepped away from the referee's position.

Then.

Renzu sat on it.

He looked at Ishikawa, who looked calm, and then at Shinohara, who looked nervous, and said solemnly: "The serve is valid, 15-0!"

Wow!

Suddenly.

There was a burst of disbelief from the crowd.

It's not that they don't believe in forbearance, it's precisely because they unconditionally believe in the other party's judgment that they have this reaction.

"It's actually inside the boundary?"

"Isn't it too fast? Did any of you see clearly where the tennis ball landed?"

"Here, this kid didn't just happen to hit that kind of ball?!!"

The second and third grade members of Hyotei were all shocked by Ishikawa's performance!

at this time.

They looked at each other with no more contempt. Moreover, with the emergence of Renzu, the last uncertain factor of the referee is gone.

Maybe this first grader named Ishikawa can really win this game?

And the other side.

Ishikawa also had a surprised expression on his face.

He didn't expect Renzu to appear, but it was more of a reminder from the system in his mind.

[The player completes a standard serve and activates the skill: Basic serve lv0 (0/10)]

[The player hits an ace serve, and the basic serving skill experience +5]
