SWNOVELXO Chapter 166
0166 Doubles becomes singles? The Naniwa Star of Kanto!
“Click——”
Seeing Ishida Gin, Oshitari Kenya, Ishida Tetsu, and Kamio Akira standing at both ends of the net, Inoue
Mamoru in the audience quickly took out his camera and took a picture of this scene.
“Now it’s fun! In the first match between the two heroes of Kyushu, Fudomine won the match with ease! He took the lead!”
“Now the older brother from Shitenhoji is on the field, facing the younger brother from Fudomine! He can’t lose again, right?”
“It’s hard to say! Ishida Tetsu’s strength is not bad! Besides, this is a doubles match! Fudomine Kamio Akira’s strength is also not weak!”
“No, no, no! I’ve heard of Ishida Gin’s partner, Ken’ya Oshizuka, who is known as the star of Naniwa! A speed player! He’s also the cousin of Hyotei’s genius Yuushi Oshizuka! He’s also at the Kanto level!”
The surrounding junior high school students were discussing in a low voice, and Inoue Mamoru didn’t join in.
But he also knew that both sides in this game were a combination of strength and speed.
It would be difficult for either side to win….
Simply having an advantage in strength or speed may not be enough!
The test will be the combination of the comprehensive level of both sides!
In the Fudomine player’s booth.
Tachibana Jiping did not dwell on the last game at this time, but focused on the doubles match No. 2 that was about to begin.
“A Tie’s brother is not simple! As we all know, he is a pure power player!”
“He is also the pioneer of the power ball technique called wave ball!”
“Ishida once said that the wave ball he learned was just the entry-level one that his brother mastered!”
His words made Ibu Shinji and others nod their heads.
As a member of the”Old Fudo Peak”, they all knew these things.
Beijiang said lightly:”Since Ishida wants to fight, I won’t stop him! Although his current strength cannot compare to you guys!”
“However, this game……It’s not hard to win!”
“Besides, the originator of the wave ball?! There is no need to give Ishida Gin such a title! The difficulty of creating this simple power shot is not in the technique, but in the threshold of physical strength!”
“With Ishida’s current strength, he can do this!”
Tachibana Yoshihei and others heard it and nodded silently.
In the game court.
Ishida Gin looked at his younger brother Ishida Tetsu, who was half a head shorter than him:”Tetsu! Let the men of our Ishida family compete today! Who is the strongest power player!”
Ishida Tetsu’s face was serious, and there was no fear in his eyes:”Okay! I will use my strength to prove to you, brother, that I can play my own Hajime! A Hajime that is not inferior to yours!”
And Kamio Akira and Oshima Ken also looked at each other.
“I heard you’re a speed player? I am one too!”
“What? Are you going to avenge your cousin Oshige Yuushi? It wasn’t me who defeated him!”
“but……It doesn’t matter! If you want to compete in speed, I can accompany you in this game!”
As opponents, they are players of the same type.
Even though it was their first meeting, there was a lot of gunpowder in their eyes.
“A Yin!”
“Ishida!”
“In the first three games, let me play with this guy!”
The two of them asked their teammates almost at the same time.
Ishida Gin and Ishida Tie’s eyes twitched.
No way!!
Aren’t we the two brothers the protagonists of this game?!
Why did you fight in advance?!
Although they were opponents in this game, the tacit understanding between the brothers Ishida Gin and Ishida Tie was still there.
“You guys take care of the first three games! The rest of the games are between the two of us brothers!”
“No interference! Relay completed!”
“Can!”
“No problem!”
The plan of Ishida Tetsu and Ishida Gin was directly agreed by Kamio Akira and Oshizu Kenya.
Almost at the same time as they reached an agreement.
The two Ishida brothers who had just walked onto the court walked off the court together.
They handed the court to Kamio Akira and Oshizu Kenya.
This scene stunned the entire audience, and even the referee who was about to announce the official start of the game sat in the referee chair in astonishment.
My goodness!!
What kind of strange partnership are these two groups!!
Everyone in the Shitenhoji player’s bench also covered their faces at this time.
They naturally saw what was going on in the game.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke said unhappily:”It’s ridiculous! Playing doubles as singles……”
Watanabe Shu held a toothpick in his mouth and shook his head:”It may not be a bad thing! After all, whether it is Kamio Akira of Fudo Peak or Kenya! Their advantage is speed!”
“I’m afraid he doesn’t have the strength to help his teammates complete effective defense!”
“If Gin could finish this doubles match one on one with his brother later!”
“It is good for us! With his strength, he will never lose!”
These words made Shiraishi Kuranosuke’s expression relax a little.
He thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case!
And in the Fudomine players’ bench.
Kitakami chuckled:”It seems that the result of this game is still a contest between Ishida and his brother! Kamio is creating opportunities for Ishida!”
John and Hanamura Aoi snorted coldly.
As coaches, the two have different perspectives on the game.
Although they trust Kamio Akira’s strength, it is obvious that the opponent and Ishida Tie can win the game more easily…….
Tachibana Jiping and the others couldn’t help, they could only touch their noses and pray that Kamio Akira’s personal performance would not go wrong.
Otherwise, even if he won the national championship today, he would inevitably be punished by John after returning to the tennis club.
In the audience, junior high school students from various schools watched Kamio Akira and Oshitari Ken standing at the baseline respectively.
The Ishida brothers stood outside the court and watched the game.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, stunned.
“No way……Isn’t this a doubles match?! How did it become like this?!”
“I really didn’t expect it! I thought it was a head-on battle between the brothers Ishida Gin and Ishida Tetsu! Now it has turned into a contest between Kenya Oshitari and Akira Kamio!”
“That is, it is a match between Shitenhoji, who is famous for its antics, and Fudomine, who does not play by the rules. Otherwise, who would complete a doubles match in this way!”
“Actually, it’s quite interesting now, isn’t it? One is the star of Kansai’s Naniwa! The other is the representative speed player of the Fudomine team!”
“Before the showdown of strength and power, will the speed showdown come first? Sure enough!! I came to see the match between Shitenhoji and Fudomine, and it was the right choice!!”
“Come on Kamio!! Kanto’s speed can’t lose to Kansai’s guys!!”
“The Star of Naniwa!! Kenya Oshitari!! Please don’t live up to your title!!”
“……”
Although everyone present felt that it was a bit strange to start this doubles match in this way, the rules did not restrict it.
Besides, the speed battle between Kanto and Kansai was also very attractive to the junior high school students present!
In the competition court,
Kamio Akira, who held the first game serve, smiled slightly.
“Let’s begin! Be sure to keep up with the pace! Naniwa Star!”
“Humph! Come on!”
Oshitari Kenya naturally didn’t show any fear.
As Kamio Akira raised his hand and swung out
“Bang——”
A beautiful flat serve hit Ken’ya Oshitari’s feet.
The latter’s eyes fixed.
He took a step forward very quickly and jumped up to save the ball.
“Bang!”
Kamio Akira blocked the serve, but also made the arc of the return ball extremely high.
This time, Akira Akira undoubtedly firmly grasped the first-hand advantage.
Opportunity ball!!
“Ta-ta-ta——”
“Is that all you can do? Naniwa’s reaction isn’t fast enough!!”
Kamio Akira was already in front of the net before the tennis ball even bounced over it.
“Swish——”
He took a run-up and jumped, and smashed with one hand with all his strength in front of the net.
The target position was Kenya Oshitari’s empty space in the front midfield.
“Bang——”
“Don’t even think about scoring!!”
Kenji Oshitari turned over and kicked his feet.
He chased after the tennis ball that had bounced onto the court again.
His calf muscles were tense, and his explosive speed made all the junior high school students in the Kanto area know why the opponent was called”Naniwa Star”.”
“Bang——”
It was a close call, but he saved the tennis ball that was about to fall to the ground outside the court.
However, after completing the smash, Akira Kamio only glanced at the opponent’s barely returned lob. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“The speed is not slow!”
“But unfortunately……It’s out of bounds!”
As he finished speaking, the tennis ball hit the ground outside the court, only 1-2 centimeters away from the backcourt baseline.
“OUT! Fudomine scores! The score is 15-0!”
When the referee announced the score, all the Kanto junior high school students started cheering.[]
The Kansai junior high school students all showed regret on their faces.���However, some people also saw some problems from this ball.
Even if Kamio Akira had the upper hand, Ken Oshitsuki could only save the ball with his own speed.
Moreover.
The first save gave him a chance.
The second save went directly out of bounds!
It can be seen that regardless of strength, Kamio Akira has a more comprehensive deployment tactically.
He controls the ball accurately from the landing point of the serve, predicts the trajectory of the opponent’s return and uses his own speed to go to the net.
The landing point of the smash is also perfect!
As a result, even if Ken Oshitsuki catches up with this ball, he will inevitably be forced to hit a lob return.
This also exposes Ken Oshitsuki’s lack of control over the lob.
And.
Knowing that the trajectory of the lob is close to the baseline and there is a risk of going out of bounds.
Also because of the mentality problem of not calming down in the first time due to haste, he hit it rashly.
This series of decisions all reflect that Ken Oshitsuki has begun to fall into the rhythm of Kamio Akira’s game.
And these junior high school students can see it.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke and others in the player seats of Shitenhoji can naturally see it as well.
“The Game……Qian still underestimated his opponent!”
“Alas! I’m afraid we can only rely on Gin to come on the court and catch up with the score!”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke knows Ken Oshizuka very well.
Once the ball is in his stride, he will be like a sharp blade on the court.
He will constantly cut off the opponent’s game rhythm with his own speed.
But if he is led by the opponent’s nose,……
The advantage of speed players will be completely gone. With the opponent’s not-so-calm character, it will be difficult to find a breakthrough in the game!
Watanabe Osamu and the others shook their heads helplessly.
Things have come to this point.
Everything can only be put on the brotherly duel between Ishida Gin and Ishida Tetsu.
If Shitenhoji wants to advance to the finals, it must not lose this doubles match!!
Otherwise……
They will most likely be eliminated in the semifinals and stop at this year’s national conference.
“Bang——”
“Fudomine scores! End of the game! Score 1-0! Change of serve!”
“Bang——”
“Fudomine scores! End of the game! Score 0-2! Change of serve!”
In the competition court, just as Shiraishi Kuranosuke and others thought.
Ken Oshizuka was also led by Akira Kamio to win the first ball.
Although he wanted to play his own game rhythm at the first time.
However, every time he lost a ball, his face became more impatient.
When Akira Kamio won the first game, Ken Oshizuka was still able to maintain the most basic rationality.
After all, it was just a game of the opponent’s serve.
But in the second game, when it was his own serve, Akira Kamio controlled the rhythm of the game more strictly.
After 3-4 rounds of continuous hitting, the rhythm of the game was snatched from him.
Replicating the situation in the first game, he played a series of threatening offensive balls.
This caused him to make mistakes again and again and was broken!
0-2!
It seems that because he can only play the first three games, when he thinks that he can’t score points for the team in the second half of the game, and he has to increase the score burden for his partner Ishida Gin.
Ken Oshizuka also completely didn’t care.
Not only did he burst out his speed with all his strength, but his ambition to attack and score became more and more obvious.
Until……
“Bang——”
“Fudomine scores! End of game! Score 3-0! Change of serve!”
The third game is over.
Kamio Akira easily scored the last point with a short ball at the net.
Three games!
4 minutes!
12 points!
Kenya Oshitari didn’t score a single goal!
The sweat on his forehead was enough to show how Kamio Akira had moved him in these 4 minutes.
Every time he saved the ball, he almost ran at his maximum speed. Even a speed player couldn’t last long.
“It’s over!”
“Practice ball control with your cousin when you have time! 12 goals scored, 3 of which were out of bounds by you!”
Kamio Akira raised his eyebrows and spoke slowly.
Oshitari Kenya gritted his teeth and looked at Kamio Akira, his eyes revealing a strong unwillingness.
“It’s obviously a speed contest!! But you……”
Kamio Akira’s eyes twitched, and he raised his hand to interrupt the other person.
“Hey! My impression of you right now is that you have poor skills and a bad mentality!”
“If you say something so stupid……Tsk tsk tsk! Then why are you still playing tennis?”
“Why not just become a sprinter?”
“Do you think you can be faster than me if we really compete in speed?”
“I am using the flaws that the Minister mentioned to me to play these three games with you!”
“If you still don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do!”
“Tie, I’ll leave it to you next time!”
With that, Kamio Akira ignored Kenya Oshitari’s complicated expression and walked off the court.
Ishida Tie smiled bitterly and high-fived the other party to take over.
“Kamio, you are really hurting this guy’s self-esteem!”
“”Hey hey hey! Tie! You can’t say that. I’m telling the truth, okay?”
Seeing this
, Ishida Tie shook his head helplessly and walked towards the baseline of the court.
Ishida Gin walked onto the court and patted Kenya Oshitari on the shoulder:”Kenya! Don’t worry, I will get back all the lost points in this game!”
After hearing this, the latter could only try to calm his inner emotions.
He nodded silently and turned to leave the court.
At the same time, the cheers of the junior high school students in the Kanto region in the audience had resounded throughout the entire stadium.
Although it was only a three-game match, the result represented an overwhelming victory for the Kanto region!!
“Kansai’s! From now on, the title of Naniwa Star should be given to us Kanto players!”
“That’s right!! No goal was scored in three games!! This title is really unworthy of me!!”
“Hahaha!! Does this count as our second consecutive victory in the Kanto region? We won the first Kyushu duo civil war! Now we have also won the Kanto speed vs. Kansai speed!!”
“Makes sense!! I now think that I should give up the match between Rikkai University and Hyotei and watch the semi-finals here…….It was the wisest decision!!”
“……”
The junior high school students in Kansai were powerless to refute at this time. They could only look at the arrogant Kanto students and bite their teeth in anger.���
And they also know that if it weren’t for Fudo Peak……
The people who are speechless right now are probably these Kanto junior high school students! Righteousness!
