Chapter 144: Decisive Battle! Singles 1! Oreki vs. Shiraishi!
Actually, for Oreki Yu.
Players of Shiraishi Kuranosuke's level are no match for him at all.
This is destined to be a game without suspense!
But after all, this is his first national championship, which means a lot.
What's more, Akari was watching him in the audience, so he had to win this match more beautifully.
"Bai Shi, are you ready to face the lightning?"
As his words fell, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the sky without warning, followed by the roar of thunder!
Because the stadium is open-top, you can directly see the sky outside.
It was a sunny day, but for some reason, it was now covered with dark clouds!
Shiraishi Kuranosuke swallowed.
Suddenly, he felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.
At this moment, he actually had the illusion that he was facing a god!
"I actually get stage fright..." Bai Shi was shocked to find that his body was trembling slightly.
He immediately pinched the flesh on his face to wake himself up.
The person opposite him was just a teenager about his age.
What's so scary?
He told himself this in his heart, and then he calmed down a lot.
"Chuunibyou? These are useless to me! Now that I'm on the court, I will fight to the end for the honor!"
Bai Shi said very simply.
Oreki Yuu grinned.
Without saying anything more, he just pulled out his racket.
"Referee, it's time to announce the start!"
After Oreki Yu's reminder, the dazed referee finally reacted.
He was shocked to find that he was so overwhelmed by the boy's temperament that he forgot to announce the start of the game for a moment!
"The match begins, with Shiraishi Kuranosuke from Shitenhoji serving first."
Shiraishi took a deep breath, calmed his somewhat restless heart, and quickly entered the state of competition.
It is naturally impossible to give your full strength right from the start.
First of all, we need to test the opponent's level first, so that we can plan the next response.
Think so.
Shiraishi then hit a very standard serve at a moderate speed.
The speed is moderate and it has a strong backspin. This is a textbook and very standard starting serve.
But at this moment, the racket in the hand of the black-haired boy opposite suddenly flashed with purple light.
boom!
He hit the tennis ball with lightning speed!
Then, the ball turned into a streak of thunder and crossed the court in an instant!
Shiraishi Kuranosuke's eyes widened.
He looked incredulous.
“What kind of speed is this…”
At the same time, Oreki Yu's faint laughter came from the other side.
"No need to test me, just attack with all your strength. Otherwise, the game may be over before you even have time to perform."
So crazy!
This was Bai Shi’s first thought.
But soon, he realized that Oreki Yu was not pretending, but really had such ability!
Just the return of the ball just now is not something that an ordinary person can make. It requires eyesight and super fast reaction speed to make a precise return!
As expected, Oreki Yuu from Rikkai University was much more powerful than he had expected.
"You can't let go, just use that move!"
Bai Shi made up his mind, and soon his eyes became sharp.
Then, he began to frequently hit low-altitude serves, accompanied by strong cutting force, making it impossible for Oreki Yu to fight back in the same way!
After that, the bounce angle of all returned balls will not exceed 30°!
It is almost the same as the playing style written in the textbook. When facing an opponent whose eyesight and reaction speed are beyond ordinary people, you have to use high-intensity low balls to suppress the opponent.
Bai Shi did not reveal any flaws to his opponent.
Begins to implement his almost perfect strategy.
In this round, the two sides fought for 5 minutes, but the winner was still undecided.
Oreki Yu was somewhat surprised.
It turns out that this is Shiraishi Kuranosuke's Bible Tennis!
Playing almost perfect tennis in a textbook way is a skill that focuses on basics. There is no frills at all, but it is simple and direct, which is similar to Yukimura's "perfect tennis"!
This is a rational and correct way of playing, so much so that it is almost impossible to see any weaknesses!
"Is this the famous Bible tennis? It's really interesting."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke didn't find it strange at all that the other party recognized his tennis ball.
"You're not bad either. I didn't want to use this move so soon, but I had no choice. You forced me to use it."
Oreki Yu also grinned when he heard this.
"Biblical tennis, using perfect basic skills to cope with all kinds of changes is indeed a good way to play, but... sometimes, a certain unique thing will surpass all perfection. Do you understand this principle?"
"The only one..." Shiraishi Kuranosuke couldn't help but recall.
Before this, as early as when they were in Shitenhoji, they had collected information about Oreki Yu and the horrifying Wuxiang Sword.
This is undoubtedly what Oreki Yuu was talking about.
Concentrate all your efforts and deliver a winning move with a single strike.
"Are you... going to use that move?"
Oreki Yu smiled and said:
"The teacher said that with your current strength, it's hard for me to take you seriously, but this is the finals after all, and I also want to leave some memories on this meaningful stage. Why don't I use this knife to end the first year? Are you ready? This knife may be a bit heavy!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke swallowed hard.
He really wanted to say, you are so arrogant, do you really think you are invincible?
But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because Wuxiang Yidao's reputation is indeed terrifyingly big.
Even if there were some exaggerations in his words, at this moment, as he was about to face the knife, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"You're going to use your ultimate move so soon. Aren't you afraid that I'll break it and cause you to lose the rest of the game?"
Oreki Yu smiled and said:
"No, because after this cut, the game is over."
Shiraishi: "......"
At this moment, he still didn't understand what this sentence meant.
But soon, he will understand.
Oreki Yuu on the opposite side took a deep breath, put the racket on his waist like holding a knife, and closed his eyes, ready to defend.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Shiraishi Kuranosuke complained in his heart.
Even if it was a unique trick, it was the first time he had seen someone so confident.
Is he so confident that he can win with one strike?
"In that case, take my full-strength serve!"
All of Shiraishi's strength is in his left hand.
Then, a standard and swift serve was hit!
And at this moment, Bai Shi suddenly felt as if his heart skipped a beat!
Oreki Yuu on the other side opened his eyes at this moment.
Those were a pair of eyes filled with endless lightning, like a thunder god.
I only heard him speak softly, muttering silently:
"Wuxiang's sword!"
