"How is it, Ryoma, is it different from what you imagined?"
Nanjiro glanced at Ryoma who was looking at him in fascination, and then spoke.
"Well…"
This time he did not deny it directly, but lowered the brim of his hat to prevent others from seeing his expression clearly. Ryoma concentrated on recalling everything before.
Whether it was the Phoenix serve, the zero serve, the brilliance and refinement of the selfless realm, or the confrontation between the two sides, he saw a different picture.
Just watching three games made him realize the huge gap.
There's no comparison between playing in the US juniors and playing here.
"Did you see the white-haired boy standing there?"
"He is the most powerful junior high school student in neon right now."
"If you continue to play tennis in the future, you will meet him sooner or later."
Pointing at Bai Jin who was watching the game, Nanjiro introduced him.
"The strongest junior high school student...?"
I have to say that in this day and age, this kind of title is quite shocking, so much so that Ryoma turned his attention away.
"Will he appear too?"
"Of course, why, are you interested?"
"snort……"
At this time, the game continued.
Even though they were already 3-0 behind in Zach's serve, there was no sign of panic.
"Wear them down in this round!"
"Um!"
After releasing the ball, the two began to change the lineup.
Their tall figures did not affect their quick movements at all.
"no……"
Continuing the phantom, Tezuka tried to use the power of the genius, but Nioh judged that the false ending could not be obtained by deduction.
The opponent began to use his real gun to actually perform.
"drink!"
Kise calmly observed as he returned the opponent's shot with great skill.
"boom!"
(Well, this is really heavy.)
The power of the double counterattack was always threatening. Aaron caught the ball and turned it toward Nioh.
Since they planned to engage in a protracted war, they naturally couldn't let the tempered Kise interfere.
"Haha...your thoughts have been anticipated."
Nioh was unmoved, watching the ball fly to the left and bounced, and said coldly.
"That is……"
"What?!"
The field was forming, and the ball bounced off course and returned to Kise's vicinity.
"boom!"
"Here we come! A double counterattack that has been tempered for thousands of years!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Beyond the expectations of the junior high school students, Zach's figure swooped in on the ball. He held the racket with one hand and continued to hit the ball back.
"The movements are indeed faster than before..."
Still imitating Tezuka's field and pulling the ball back, Kise looked cautious and then swung the ball to hit the ball.
"boom!"
This time the counterattack was not that easy. The racket started to shake as soon as it touched the ball.
The powerful force began to spread around the racket, affecting Kise's movements.
"Go back!"
Gritting his teeth, Kise hit the ball back instantly.
"Have the guts!"
"Try this!"
Seeing that the ball was still being hit back harder, Aaron sprinted forward instantly, then jumped up, holding the racket at his waist with both hands, and assumed a hitting posture.
"That is……"
"The center of gravity jumps vertically!"
"Aha!"
It was obviously a hard ball that was a double return, but it was hit back by Aaron.
"boom!"
"0-15!"
Kise didn't try to catch the ball because he knew it would be impossible to catch it.
"The opponent started to fight back."
Yukimura looked at the changing situation and murmured softly.
"There is still an obvious physical difference."
Bai Jin was not surprised by this...
Although the combination of Kise and Niou is powerful, the only shortcoming is...
Both of them are too young... their bodies have not yet been fully developed and exercised to their limits.
On the other hand, the opponent has already experienced the baptism of the world, and his body is far more mature.
Therefore, whether it is a competition of endurance or physical strength, the opponent always has an advantage. This is the physical gap that cannot be made up by other means.
This is probably one of the gaps that prevents junior high school students from surpassing high school students.
If it were Kise and Niou who were in the third grade, Aaron and Zach would have lost long ago.
All I can say is that the timing was not very good...
"0-30!"
"0-40!"
"3-1!"
For the first time, Aaron and Zach took back a set.
(Oops...I was really fooled.)
Niou panted, looking at Kise who was about to serve, and secretly screamed that something was wrong.
In the game just now, they spent more energy than usual.
The confrontation with Aaron and Zach was never so easy, so much so that they took far more energy than usual.
"4-1!"
Although Kise still won by serving, Nioh knew that the next game was the key.
If it is delayed for too long, it is hard to say whether he can stably hit the zero serve and phoenix serve when it is his turn to serve, and it is hard to say whether Tannhäuser can serve.
Tezuka's phantoms and imitations can no longer be maintained to fight.
"Let this game go!"
Kise and Nioh reached an agreement instantly.
"4-2!"
After regaining the tie again, Aaron and Zach looked a little unhappy.
In this game just now, the opponent almost had no defense.
So one can imagine the hidden intention.
"They really realized it..."
Noah looked at the two people who were unaware, somewhat expecting it.
Although judging from the observed situation, these two junior high school students should be reaching their limit soon.
"It's useless. Even if they win the serve in the next game, Aaron and Zach will force them to catch the ball."
Gorgias did not have the slightest sympathy, but anticipated the scene that might appear soon.
"5-2!"
In Nioh's serve game, he became a phantom and played Phoenix serve to score points steadily.
As for the rest, as long as Kise's serve comes again, they will win for sure.
"But is it really that easy?"
Akashi had doubts about this. There is a saying that rabbits will bite when they are anxious.
It's obvious that Aaron and Zach aren't on good terms either.
"Hey, it's really a good trick."
Although it was an instructional competition, they did not intend to lose, otherwise they would definitely be educated.
Since your opponents want to play rogue, don't blame them for using violence.
Zach held the ball and stared at Kise, his eyes suddenly turned fierce.
He threw the ball up and immediately hit it in Kise's direction.
"boom!"
"Well…"
"Kise!! Bastard!"
Seeing Kise being hit by the bouncing ball, Aomine suddenly became angry.
"0-15!"
"Have you started attacking the players?"
It can only be said that this practice is quite common in world championships. Using tennis balls to attack the opponent in order to win, there is even a so-called execution law.
The next serve was Kise's, so Zach focused on Kise to attack, just to force him to catch the ball.
If he does not catch the ball, Kise will be attacked by the tennis ball and may be injured.
They planned to use violence to break up Kise and Nioh's unanswerable serve.
"0-30!"
"0-40!"
"5-3!"
But even though he was chased and knocked away by the ball many times, Kise still did not choose to fight back. Instead, he stood up with scratches all over his body and his eyes unchanged.
“You’re like this, can you still hit a complete serve?”
Dudu frowned, looking at this ugly scene. Although he wanted to say something, he still held back.
"I can't fight it out..."
Noah saw through Kise's abnormality at a glance and declared.
Kise's current state makes it impossible for him to hit a complete Phoenix or Zero serve.
And that's the opportunity Aaron and Zach are targeting...
"boom!"
"He really can't fight anymore!!"
Seeing Kise's Phoenix serve bounce, Aaron and Zach were overjoyed.
But when they hit the ball back, they discovered a terrifying sense of oppression.
"It's not good to be happy too early."
Aobe tilted his head and sneered as he looked at the situation.
Why would Kise fight even if he was injured?
Is it simply because you want to preserve your physical strength?
That was just an illusion created for Aaron and Zach.
Attract the attention of two people and ignore the situation of the other person.
Even if they don't rely on serving, they still have the means to score points.
When Aaron and Zach focused their attention on Kise, victory was destined to be far away from them.
"You've been fooled...idiots!"
"The means to win in the end is not with me..."
With a triumphant expression, Kise laughed and said sarcastically.
At the end of the round, which was like the end of the match, it was the "killing" phase that the man was best at.
"There is no need to go to the hospital this time..."
"There is enough energy left..."
"For the next game...30 seconds is enough...!"
Nioh's figure phantomed, and at the same time, gray lightning flashed in his eyes.
This figure is no stranger to Akashi and others. It was such a person who once caused Kise and Midorima to get into a bitter fight.
"Go! Crush them!"
When Sanada saw it, he shouted angrily at him.
Extremely fast lightning flashes in the field accompanied by the chirping of birds.
"15-0!"
"You guys have no chance of winning anymore..."
Phantom Shirazu+zone! !
ps:
The combination of Nioh and Kise is actually quite rogue.
Both of them can serve without a solution, which means that if their opponent loses the second game, they will basically be in trouble.
Especially in this situation where the outcome is determined by one set, the advantage is even more astonishing.
Therefore, in a game, Kise and Nioh were able to "jump ahead" by relying on their serve and Nioh's killing cards.
Unless the opponent reacts at the beginning and bites the score, there is a high probability that he will be handed over, but it is difficult to kill at the first sight.
