"This game was scored by Lion Park Academy, the score was 2:1."
"Both sides change sides!"
The two games passed in the blink of an eye. Although the Australian lineup of Kuroki and Kato was slightly different from what Amuro Jin remembered, it still had good results.
During the break on the sidelines, Akai kept deducing the situation in his mind.
Takei once told him that the mental storms in the minds of truly top players are huge.
Only by seeing through your opponent's thinking can you win.
"Kafi, this game may depend on you."
Soon Akai frowned, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Akai called Kai Fu'er over and whispered in Kai's ear.
An Shijin looked at the two of them with a smile. He admired Akai's ability to read the game very much.
It seems that there is no need for him to wake up Akai and Kai.
After a short break, Akai and Kai high-fived each other to encourage themselves and then stepped onto the court.
Kai, who was crouching in the backcourt, stared ahead, and his performance moment came next.
The smooth performance of the first two rounds made Kuroki and Kato very satisfied with the tricks they had trained so hard for.
This formation, originally prepared for the national competition, turned out to be very effective.
"Destroy them, Kato."
Kuroki in the frontcourt seemed to think that he had already defeated the opponent, and his words were somewhat arrogant.
"no problem!"
Kato, on the other hand, dares to speak out and the other dares to reply.
The two of them seemed not to care about Akai and Kai at all.
For them, it's pretty good that Akai and Kai can force out their bottom-of-the-box formation.
As for defeating them, that is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Peng!
Kai, who is left-handed, sent the ball directly into the center of the inner corner of the receiving area in front of Kato. The ball was only one centimeter away from the central axis.
"The serve is very good, boy!"
Kato's voice came from the backcourt. Even though his view was blocked by the black wood, Kai could still imagine that Kato should be rapidly approaching the tennis ball at this moment.
Peng!
A ray of yellow light shot through the air from behind Kuromu, and the wind pressure approaching from behind did not make Kuromu feel nervous at all.
Because he has absolute trust in Kato, which they have cultivated over the past three years of working side by side.
Kato's diagonal corner kick seemed to have won Kai, and he and Kuroki stood firmly on the central axis.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Kai's mouth, and he took half a step back with his left foot.
The body is like a long bow with shoulders as strings, and Kai's body is slightly curled up to gain momentum.
This gesture made Kato and Kuroki feel a little uneasy.
"It's the left!"
Kuroki soon made a judgment. As he moved sideways to the left, Kato in the backcourt also moved with him.
In the final analysis, their positioning, which is very similar to the Australian formation, uses the forwards to cover the players behind them.
At certain times, the forward can even intercept the ball to confuse the opponent's judgment.
But the prerequisite for doing this is that they must judge the opponent's return path in time.
Once the start is late, the players behind may not be able to keep up in time.
After all, all the actions of the players in the rear must be copied from those of the vanguard.
And this is precisely the weakness Akai discovered.
"Pirate's Horn!"
Kai shouted loudly, and with the "Weng Ge" in his hand, he drew a white line from his side.
Peng!
The ball shot out in the opposite direction of Kato and Kuroki under the influence of violent rotation, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air was extremely harsh.
"What!"
Kato and Kuroki were shocked, and they immediately stopped and turned around.
Kato swung his racket while he was still on his feet, and the racket that came out from his side narrowly saved the ball.
However, what awaited them all was Akai's smashing ball that leapt from the front of the net.
winter!
...
Kuroki pulled his partner up from the ground, and the two looked at Akai and Kai on the opposite half with solemn expressions.
They know that their ace formation may have been cracked by the opponent.
"Look again, look again."
Kato patted Kuroki on the shoulder. He didn't want to believe that he and Kuroki had worked so hard to practice the Chengdu lineup and were so easily seen through by the opponent.
After switching the front and backcourt, it was Kato's turn to keep an eye on Kai's movements.
As the speed master of Shishigakuen Academy, Kato also has excellent reflexes.
But even if he could start moving again the moment Kai actually hit the ball, the speed of Kai's return meant that the ball could only be counterattacked by Kuroki in the backcourt.
And their formation has the same shortcoming as the Australian formation.
That is, the ball path of the return shot can only be straight ball and high ball, without exception.
Such a counterattack would naturally not be effective for Akai.
...
"That guy didn't take action until the last limit of the swing to delay the hitting point, right, Chitose," Tachibana Yoshihei said with his arms crossed.
"Yeah." Chitose Chisato nodded and said, "It's really not easy to do this."
Tachibana Yoshihei could see clearly from the sidelines that the opponent's grip on the racket was not just for the sake of sensationalism.
Tachibana Yoshihei seemed to be able to feel a hint of murderous aura in Kai's swing.
In Tachibana Yoshihei's opinion, this posture should be a certain weapon technique.
While Tachibana Yoshihei and Chitose Chisato were talking, this round was easily won by Kai and Akai.
The score also returned to the same starting point of 2-2 tie.
For Kato and Kuroki, the first thing they have to do now is to find the flaw in the Kai pirate's horn.
But this move is the essence that Amuro and Bokude extracted from the Okinawa Ryudange technique, and it is a move specially designed for Kai.
With Amuro's help, this move even incorporates a hint of the sweet spot technique.
This makes this move far better than the one in the original work in terms of ball speed, spin and power.
...
"Leave it to you, Akai-senpai!"
Kai shouted to the other side. Although Akai didn't speak, his footsteps were the best response.
Kato and Kuroki's attention was too focused on Kai, and they ignored Akai's existence.
And this is a fatal mistake.
Akai, who came up behind the tennis ball with extremely fast steps, lowered his center of gravity and pushed back.
When the tennis ball was about to hit the ground, his arms spread out in a huge swing.
Peng!
The ball that shot through the air was lifted high by Akai and was soon submerged in the dazzling sunlight.
"This ball...will go out of bounds, right?"
Many people are wondering, did this player from Higa Junior High School make a mistake?
Even Kato and Kuroki thought so.
"Inbounds! This ball will be inbounds!"
But the reminder from Chitose Chisato in the next second made the two of them immediately run towards the bottom corner on the other side.
Qianju Qianli's judgment is not wrong, and they believe in their younger generation.
But how could they catch up with the goal after missing the first opportunity?
The ball fell quickly with the sun and hit the bottom corner accurately.
