Chapter 90: The Ice Emperor of the Next City First
After the two teams came together, they naturally went through the process. The whole team listened to the referee announce the rules of the game in the middle of the court.
The Ministry of Affairs would not take this kind of thing lightly. He looked down at Hatada Souji with a confident smile on his lips.
"Don't lose too embarrassingly for a while, Hata Souji."
Listening to Atobe Keigo's provocation, Soji Hata responded calmly: "I don't even need to play in the fight against you."
When Atobu heard this, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
However, at this time, the referee had already announced the rules of the game. Souji Hata just gave Atobe a calm smile, and then walked straight off the field.
Looking at Souji Hata's back, Atobe thought about Souji Hata's words.
Does he mean that Yamabuki can win the victory with thunderous force, or does Soji Hata not put himself on the list of players at all? But either way, he is arrogant enough!
Atobu laughed angrily and said lightly: "We'll see."
"Next, the match between Yamabuki and Hyotei, doubles No. 2, will begin. Players from both sides are invited to come on."
Yamabuki's side is played by Kazuma Kita and Midamiyoshi Shintori, who start the game regularly.
Well, it's semi-regular. Occasionally, due to the tactical adjustments of Souji Hatada or Mikiya Hatada, he will be placed in the No. 1 doubles position.
As for Hyokui, it can be said that they are a group that has no record at all.
Hyotei's third grade——Shishido Ryo,
Hyōtei's second year—Houchōtaro.
"It was actually the two of them who came on stage."
Inoue frowned. According to past records, Shishido Ryo is obviously a singles player. Although Hochotaro has experience in doubles, he has never teamed up with Shishido Ryo.
Inoue was puzzled by Hyokui's move.
Looking at the firm eyes of Shishido Ryo and Hochotaro, Coach Bantian smiled lightly and said: "Oh, Coach Sakaki, it seems that Hyotei has finally found a very good doubles combination."
After being a coach for so many years, especially at Yamabuki who is good at doubles, Mikiya Hata has developed a very vicious vision.
From the details and momentum between Shishido Ryo and Houchotaro, he had a hunch that this would be a good doubles team.
But...the word "finally" sounded harsh to Coach Sakaki's ears.
"Being with me, finally" is a bit too exaggerated.
Wearing a suit, with elegant posture, meticulously styled hair, and sharp eyes, Coach Sakaki responded calmly.
"Haha, yes, but I still have to congratulate you. You can spend less time arranging troops and formations in the future."
"If your mind is not used regularly, it will get rusty."
At this moment, a strange spark burst out between the two coaches.
Competition is never just a matter between players.
But Souji Hata looked at Ryo Shishido with a determined look on his face with interest.
Is this...a haircut?
It seems that the barber's skills are not good, so he has to wear a hat to cover up.
It seems like it would be interesting to see what his hairstyle looks like under his hat.
Hatada Souji thought in a wicked way.
"When the game starts, Hōtei Shido-hogumi will serve first."
Shishido Ryo looked back at Houchotaro with confidence and pride.
Go ahead, Chotaro, and shock them with your serve.
Hochotaro, who understood what Shishido Ryo meant, nodded seriously.
"call."
Hochotaro took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes focused and serious, with a little persistence and purity.
"Whoosh!"
Hochotaro threw the tennis ball into the air, and then shouted word by word.
"One! Ball! Enter! Soul!"
"Bang!"
Hochotaro suddenly twisted his body and hit a powerful and heavy serve.
The tennis ball passed over Kita Kazuma and Nitami Inakichi at a very fast speed and passed between them.
"15-0!"
So fast!
Kazuma Kita and Inakichi Shintori had a look of astonishment on their faces. Even though Muromachi had reminded them ten times beforehand, they were still surprised by Hochotaro's goal.
"Hmph! As expected of Feng's serve, those two guys didn't even have time to react."
Off the field, looking at the performance of Kita Kazuma and Shintami Inakichi, Xiang Yueren said with a somewhat arrogant expression.
Ninzu Yushi also smiled lightly, but his eyes were surprisingly calm.
"It's impossible for the two of them to beat back Feng's heavy artillery serve."
The mountain blows this way.
Kintaro Toyama was lying on the armrest in front of the auditorium, looking at Houchotaro with some admiration.
"Hey, that little guy is really good at serving!"
Souji Hatada nodded.
“Really good.”
Hochotaro's serve is not just as simple as looking fast.
Another name for a ball that hits the soul is a heavy artillery serve. As the name suggests, the power of the ball is like a heavy artillery shot.
If a cannonball is fired at you, what will you do? Of course you have to dodge it.
And Hochotaro's heavy artillery serve takes advantage of this.
In addition to reaching a speed of 190 kilometers per hour, his huge power will also arouse the instinctive protection mechanism of the opponent's body, involuntarily giving up the opponent's idea of catching the ball. It is this moment of hesitation.
, causing them to miss the opportunity to hit the ball.
Therefore, it combines terrifying speed and powerful power, which is why it has created the heavy artillery serve that is now invincible.
And Hochotaro's serve also boosted Hyoutei's momentum.
"One more goal!"
"One more goal!"
"One more goal!"
Shishido Ryo turned around and gave Hochotaro a 'well done' look.
"That's it, Chotaro, don't give them any room to breathe, just defeat them in one go."
Hochotaro nodded seriously.
"I understand, Shishido-senpai!"
Hochotaro's eyes are firm. He is a typical outstanding student. He always means what he says, so...
...
"Bang!"
"Game, Shishito Feng, 1-0."
Hochotaro really won the game with four serves without any bloodshed. Kazuma Kita and Yinada Yinakichi didn't even touch the tennis ball.
Next it was the turn of Kita Kazuma and Shintami Inakichi to serve.
But the two of them didn't know if there was something wrong with their mentality or something else, they always felt out of shape.
The rhythm is always disrupted and the formation is disrupted by Ryo Shishito's super half-volley.
Although they quickly stabilized and launched counterattacks one after another, Hochotaro's serve was a threshold they could not overcome.
Whenever they want to calm down, the powerful heavy artillery ball will attack them!
In fact, it stands to reason that Hochotaro's heavy artillery serve takes four games to complete a cycle.
But what is helpless is that in the early stage, the rhythm of Kita Kazuma and Shintami Inakichi was completely restrained by Shishido Ryo and Hochotaro.
Especially Ryo Shishido's super half-volley, which did not give Kazuma Kita and Inakichi Shintami a chance to change their rhythm, which also made them play very hard.
Fortunately, the two of them had enough tacit understanding in doubles, and they were still able to hold on to the score without widening the gap.
However, in the end, the momentum was lost.
They tried to fight back a few times, but to no avail. They became impatient.
Chapter completed!
