Chapter 268 Victory in Singles 2
Sanada, who was being mourned by Amamiya Arashi, didn't notice anything, but this was normal. After all, compared to the other members of Tatekai University who were sensitive to sight, Sanada could barely be considered a 'nervous one'.
As Yukimura took the lead in grabbing the ball after a long stalemate, the audience once again shouted the title "Son of God". However, Amamiya Arashi felt that Yukimura wanted more than "Son of God". Remove the last two words and directly upgrade to a god!
After Yukimura scored a goal, Tezuka's nerves became even more tense. He knew that Yukimura was different from other opponents. He was... a very powerful and difficult opponent, with will, physical strength, and technology. ... Yukimura is not inferior to him in these aspects, not to mention that the opponent is the most mysterious and unpredictable mental player.
With Tezuka further strengthening his defense, it would not be easy for Yukimura to succeed again.
The match between the two seemed to be getting anxious again, but at this moment, Seyfried, who was on the German player bench, shouted at Tezuka very impatiently, "Hey! Didn't you say you came to Germany?" Do you want to become a professional player? Then why are you still fighting so hard against this R countryman here!"
"How can you enter the profession like this! You must not lose to other people from R country!"
Seifert's voice was so loud that even the other players from country R sitting across the court heard it.
"Ah!!! What did that guy say? What do you mean you can't lose to other people from R country! Isn't it wrong to lose to others and wrong Tezuka!"
Marui scratched his hair a little irritably.
As for Seifert's words, the other members of Country R's players were also speechless.
……
Although Tezuka heard Seiflett's words on the court, he didn't think much about it. He was still staring at Yukimura's ball intently and fighting back.
Retru, who was sitting in the German team's player seat, also spoke at this time. His voice was just loud enough for Tezuka Kunimitsu to hear.
"I know you want it for yourself...but, professional players are not that simple."
"You heard it too, didn't you?"
"The shouts and cheers from the audience..."
"Although it is no longer for the team, professional players often bear much more than you imagine... They will bear more for the country, sponsors and fans..."
Retro's words seemed to drive away Tezuka's inner confusion. Tezuka turned around and said to Retro, "I understand, then, coach, I'm going to change the future!"
As the words fell, Yukimura's tennis ball happened to be in front of Tezuka.
With a sound of "Bang!", the tennis ball was hit back by the racket, but this time, the speed and force of the ball were completely different from before.
Although Yukimura did not expect Tezuka's sudden power, he still changed his pace in time to remedy the situation, but unfortunately, the tennis ball missed Yukimura's racket...
"15-15!"
The referee's voice rang out on the court, followed by warm applause from the audience. Whether it was Yukimura or Tezuka, they are both excellent tennis players, and the audience was happy to cheer for them.
Tezuka, who was awakened, used faster and more violent moves to break Yukimura's defense and win the second game, but Yukimura was not easy to mess with. He secretly analyzed all Tezuka's shots and counterattacked.
When he hit back again, for some reason, an image of the tennis ball hitting the net suddenly appeared in front of Tezuka's eyes. Looking at the tennis ball that had arrived in front of him... After Tezuka hesitated for a moment, he hurriedly changed his original plan, but... even so, the ball still touched the net.
The next shot... was the same as before. When he was about to hit back, there would always be an image of Tezuka hitting the net in front of him. To this end, Tezuka tried many methods, but without exception, these methods failed. Also because of Tezuka's 'cooperation', the score between Team R and Germany reached five to three, with Team R leading by two points.
Seeing Team R's leading score, the audience outside the stadium shouted even more energetically. Rather than the German team successfully advancing to the finals and continuing its path to dominance, what these viewers want to see more is the dark horse forcefully knocking the dominance off the throne.
However, this does not affect their admiration for the players from the two countries.
……
"You deliberately spread out all the attack trajectories..." Tezuka suddenly had a flash of inspiration and figured out something.
Yukimura smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he sighed at Tezuka's keenness and powerful memory.
After discovering Yukimura's method, Tezuka quickly thought of a solution, and the score between the two sides came to 5 to 4 because of Tezuka's counterattack.
"It's really scary to watch their game..." Tiangong Lan muttered a few words, "Obviously Jingshi can forcefully suppress the opponent!"
"But with Tezuka's potential, it's hard to say whether he will evolve again under Yukimura's pressure..." Yanagi glanced at Amamiya Arashi and reminded.
"..." Ah, this can't be done, right? ! Now that we have reached this level, what if we can evolve further and become an illegitimate child of heaven? ! Ah, no, the son of Tiandao should be Echizen Ryoma... Amamiya Lan thought about it and got it wrong again.
……
When the score reached 5-4, Tezuka struggled to hit the ball in front of Yukimura. Yukimura also changed his pace and planned to catch the ball. However, due to inertia, although Yukimura successfully counterattacked the ball, he still fell. fell to the ground.
However... his coat still stayed on his shoulders and did not fall off.
The tennis ball successfully passed the net, Yukimura scored one ball, and then as long as he scored three goals while preventing Tezuka from scoring, the game would be over.
But it's not easy to do this.
After Yukimura stood up, Tezuka's movements made Yukimura think that the opponent was going to hit a zero slice. However, at the moment of serving, Tezuka changed his plan again and he hit a lob.
In order to counterattack this ball, Yukimura had no choice but to change his pace again.
But just when Yukimura's racket was about to hit the tennis ball, the ball suddenly went back.
It was at this time that Yukimura realized that Tezuka had once again combined two different balls. This time...he combined the lob and the slice.
It looks like a lob is being played, but in fact when the opponent hits back, the tennis ball will go back like a slice.
Yukimura suffered a loss, but such a move can only be used once when Yukimura is unprepared. After all, this is not solved like Tezuka's 'Supreme Domain'.
Next, Tezuka hit a second ball similar to the previous one, but Yukimura hit back as the tennis ball fell.
Looking at the ball that was hit back, Yukimura also stared at Tezuka with a firm gaze, and gradually attached his mental power to the next few balls.
Three goals... is actually not too much to say the least. After a long period of back and forth, Yukimura also successfully won the second game of the two singles match with a score of 6 to 4.
At this point, the R national team can also declare that their team has successfully entered the finals, but then they still need to complete the doubles one and singles one matches.
Although...the result of the game does not affect their advancement.
When Yukimura returned to the player's seat, he was treated like a distinguished guest. The considerate friends had prepared towels for wiping sweat and drinks to replenish moisture for him early.
The heavy-paced Tezuka did not receive the cynicism he expected when he returned to the German team's bench. Even Seyfried, who had always disliked him, looked at him with a tangled expression.
After seeing Tezuka's eyes meeting his own, Seyfried comforted Tezuka tangledly.
Tezuka looked at each other thoughtfully, and at this time Retru and Polk also spoke to comfort Tezuka. Even though Tezuka said that he was not as sad as they thought... they continued to talk. Words of comfort.
