"Kid, you must beat that old guy to death." From the back of the audience, Nanjiro Echizen approached stealthily, wearing a monk's robe.
"Let Ryoma and Kamio play singles in the first game, just to train them. But Yamabuki's doubles are pretty good, and it's not that easy to beat him."
"Mr. Nanjiro, nice to see you again. Are you here to watch Fudomine's match?" While Nanjiro was talking to himself, Mamoru Inoue appeared with Saori.
"Why are you here too?" Nanjiro didn't pretend this time and asked directly.
"Of course I'd like to watch Fudomine's game. The opponents from other schools aren't that strong, only this one is quite exciting." Inoue Morimichi.
For tennis journalists, magazine sales come first, provided they report the news truthfully.
Fudomine has already earned a certain reputation in previous competitions, and now the outside world is paying close attention to him.
The battle between Fudomine and Yamabuki is also a focus.
This one is definitely worth watching live.
Before the game started, the audience seats were already filled with reserve members or analysts from various countries.
"Yamabuki's doubles are very strong. Fudomine actually let Echizen Ryoma and Kamio play the game in singles. This courage is really admirable. Mr. Nanjiro, what do you think?" asked Inoue Mamoru.
"How can I see? Of course with my eyes." Nanjiro did not comment.
As a consulting coach, he knew clearly how terrifying Fudomine was now.
Fudomine's serve.
Kamio put away his playful expression. His previous failures and training had successfully tempered his temper.
"Swish." The ball was thrown up, and then the tennis racket passed by like a phantom.
"Bang!!" There was an explosion at the bottom line of the Yamabuki half, and the tennis ball whizzed past and hit the wire mesh.
"15-0." The referee quickly announced the score.
"Hiss." Shanchui took a breath of cold air.
"What a fast ball speed! Is this Kamio Akira good at fast serves?"
"It seems that we still underestimated each other." Kita Kazuma couldn't help but speak.
Xindu Mi Daoji nodded seriously.
They only heard that Fudomine defeated their old rival Seigaku, and thought it was just luck, or that the strength gap between the two sides was not that big, so it would not be difficult for Yamabuki to defeat Fudomine.
But now it seems that they all need to be extremely alert.
"Hmph." Kamio threw the ball again.
The ball was like a bullet as it flew, sweeping up the surrounding air currents and rushing to the baseline to score.
"Hmm? This serve looks so familiar?" Qiansui frowned and said to himself.
"There is the shadow of Hadō Chong on it. It seems that Kamio has been working very hard during this period, and he actually got the hang of it." Tachibana couldn't help but sigh.
"Senior Kamio, you did a good job." Echizen pressed his hat down and raised the corners of his mouth.
"The tennis serve has shockwaves, and at first glance it looks like a cannonball, but in fact, it's just a louder serve. He converts the impact and power into speed, so this ball is a super-high-speed serve in the guise of a rush." Kamishiro Lan said at this moment, with admiration in his eyes: "It's a very smart serve."
Kamio Akira's speed is strong. If you just try to imitate Chong, you will probably end up with nothing.
But he combined his own strengths and weaknesses to develop a speed-specific serve.
This is commendable.
"40-0."
"Game, 1-0, Fudomine Kamio Akira and Echizen Ryoma are leading." Soon, Kamio Akira won the serve.
Yamabuki's doubles player has no way to deal with high-speed serves.
"It's okay, it's our serve game next, we just need to keep our serve." Kita Kazuma and Nito Mieyoshi comforted each other.
The serving rules for doubles are that each side takes turns serving, and the third set is served by the other player from the serving side in the first set.
In other words, in the third set, it was Ryoma Echizen who served, so they didn't need to worry about Kamio's super-fast serve.
Kazuma Kita and Mie Inokichi Nito exchanged glances, and Kazuma Kita served the ball.
In the original work, their team defeated Fuji Shusuke and Kawamura.
Fuji Shusuke and Kawamura had too strong personalities and lacked coordination. The two of them simply could not exert their 100% strength, so their defeat was inevitable.
The fact that they were able to defeat each other shows that this doubles pair has some talent.
"Swish." Kazuma Kita took the lead in kicking the ball.
This shot was mediocre, neither its power nor its speed was worthy of praise.
"Bang." Kamio hit the tennis ball towards the left half court.
Yamabuki's doubles player's body swayed, and in the interlaced moments, Nito Mieyoshi had already appeared in front of the left side of the net and swung out a volley.
"Bang." The tennis ball hit Kamio's left midfield directly.
"Too slow!!" The rhythm of the opponent's doubles did not disrupt Kamio's judgment, and he had already arrived near the landing point.
“Follow my beat!!”
"Bang!" The tennis ball turned into a stream of light and shot straight towards the back half of the Yamabuki court.
"What a fast speed!" Kita Kazuma ran quickly, stomped on the ground suddenly at the right position, exerted force with his ankles, and twisted his body.
"Bang." The tennis ball shot up into the sky like a rocket and fell behind Kamio.
"A lob with a spin? Too low!" Kamio laughed and jumped up suddenly. He jumped so high that he even caused exclamations from the audience.
"Bang." The tennis ball hit Kita Kazuma and Nito Mieyoshi like a falling meteor and flew out of the court.
"15-0."
Kita Kazuma and Nito Mieji could not hide their inner shock, and when they looked at each other, fear was visible in their eyes.
"Kamio's speed and bounce have increased significantly. Such speed and bounce can enable him to intercept the tennis ball in advance and speed up the offensive. Although there are two opponents, they are obviously not suitable for Kamio's high-speed attack, so they will be completely suppressed. Once they are familiar with this rhythm, they will launch a counterattack." Chitose said with a frown.
"Yes, the expressions of the Yamabuki team are very calm now. Their tennis style is similar to that of Ban Lao. They observe first and then counterattack." Kamishiro Lan added lightly.
Everyone looked and saw that Kita Kazuma and Nito Mie Inakichi had very calm expressions.
"It seems that this Fudomine is really powerful." Kita Kazuma gave Nito Mieji a look, and the latter immediately showed a sinister smile.
"Bang." Kita Kazuma threw the ball and served.
"Bang, bang, bang." The tennis ball shuttled between the three people again.
“Follow my beat,” Kamio yelled, pumping hard.
"Bang!"
"What a heavy ball!" Kita Kazuma's pupils shrank and he threw himself to save it. The ball was a little squirmy and the speed seemed very slow.
"Shinto!" he roared. This was a great opportunity for the opponent to intercept, but he had already fallen to the ground. Everything depended on Shinto Midaoji.
"Leave it to me!!" Nito Mieji predicted Kamio's posture and retreated to the midfield in advance.
"Snap." However, the tennis ball flew lightly over the net and landed in front of the net.
"30-0."
“It’s actually… a short ball?” The Yamabuki pair widened their eyes and looked at Kamio who had a relaxed smile on his face.
"This guy is different from before."
They had watched the video of the Fudomine regional competition. At that time, Kamio only cared about speeding up and did not consider his own physical strength at all.
