Tennis: Bind Longma at the beginning, double the return

Chapter 15: A mediocre crush

Ralph threw the ball back to Lin Nan.

He then walked to the other side's baseline, holding the racket with both hands and re-assuming a defensive posture, his expression slightly focused.

In the previous match between the two.

Ralph always felt that Lin Nan was holding back.

The serve just now also proved his guess.

An ordinary flat serve was hit at an extremely high speed.

Judging from the marks on the floor, the force was quite strong.

Among all the opponents he had met, no one had ever been able to hit the flat ball with such power, not to mention that the opponent was two years younger than him.

This time Lin Nan was serious.

Just one serve is enough to show the other party's thoughts.

"What a quick serve."

"The boy didn't react at all."

“It’s fake… It’s fake.”

"Wait, the guy competing against him seems to be the runner-up in the previous competitions. His name seems to be Ralph."

"That's him! No one ever remembers the second place, unless that person is Ralph Reinhardt!"

"The first and second place winners from last year are competing?"

More and more audience members recognized the two people and stopped leaving.

After all, Lin Nan and his team dominated the finals of the previous National Youth Championships, and most of the people who could come here to watch the game could recognize them.

boom-!

There was a crash.

The tennis ball bounced off the ground again. Ralph's body trembled slightly, and before he could make any move to intercept it, the ball passed by him.

30: 0!

Serve again and score.

Faster serve than the previous one!

Ralph took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked solemnly at the tennis ball behind him.

He had already maximized his senses just now, and was even ready to run the moment Lin Nan hit the ball, but he still failed to react.

"Two goals should be about the same."

Lin Nan suddenly spoke.

boom-!

Before he finished speaking, the tennis ball had already been hit by him, and the speed was still very fast.

However, this time he started moving before hitting the ball, judging the ball path and landing point through the hitting action and impact point.

This was not a difficult task for Ralph.

He moved quickly, and without waiting for his body to stop, he swung his arm holding the racket towards the air.

boom-!

The loud crash echoed throughout the stadium.

The tennis ball, which was originally running at high speed, was intercepted in the center of the racket.

"Got it!"

Ralph narrowed his eyes, exerted force on his arms, and arched his muscles.

He scanned the field, instantly determined the best path for the ball, and then threw the ball out with all his might.

The ball was very tricky and went straight to the near corner of the front court.

"Shot from the near corner."

Lin Nan said calmly.

This is one of Ralph's few skills, and it is also a common skill even in professional competitions. Most people find it difficult to deal with this sudden close-corner shot.

but!

Lin Nan is not included.

Before the tennis ball had time to hit the ground, an afterimage instantly appeared at the landing point.

"So fast!"

The audience on the sidelines exclaimed.

I vaguely remember that Lin Nan was still standing there without moving before the ball was hit.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the near corner of the front court.

"Is this my brother's strength?"

Ryoma took a breath.

The game last night was completely different from what was shown today.

boom-!

Lin Nan hit back.

It was still a very quick return, not much slower than the serve, and more threatening.

Fortunately, Ralph was prepared. He arrived at the landing point when the ball bounced and hit back.

After knowing each other for so many years, he knew Lin Nan's strength too well.

The opponent has never scored a point with a near-corner shot.

boom-!

boom-!

boom-!

Tennis balls bounced back and forth on both sides of the court, and more and more people filled the spectator stands.

After all, such intensive beating sounds are rare.

"Amazing! This is much more exciting than the final just now."

"Yeah, like the difference between a beginner and a pro, they're still students?"

"Trivia: The two people on the field are the champions and runners-up of the previous U.S. Youth Championships. They played in the previous finals."

There were discussions coming from the audience.

The two players on the field remained unmoved and still focused on the field.

[Detecting that Echizen Ryoma copied the near-angle shot (level 6), multiplying feedback: You have obtained the near-angle shot (level 8)! ]

"Copy it?"

Lin Nan took the time to glance at Long Ma.

Ryoma, whose copying talent was activated in advance, mastered Ralph's skills just by watching.

However, due to the limitations of its own foundation and five dimensions, it can only be copied to level 6 at most.

Even at the state of no self, one can only copy those skills that one has personally experienced. There is no way to do what Ryoma can do, who can copy just by watching.

"Then let me try the skills you copied back!"

Lin Nan swept towards the tennis ball.

The ball sank, passed through the center net at an extremely fast speed, and landed in the near corner of the front court.

boom-!

The tennis ball hit the ground and flew straight out of bounds.

Obviously Ralph didn't expect Lin Nan to suddenly hit the ball into the near corner.

Lin Nan, who possesses a perfect talent for copying, could have copied Ralph's skills long ago.

It’s just that the benefits of copying yourself are not as great as those of Longma’s copying. The multiplier feedback is no joke.

"40:0, Lin Nan scores!"

After Longma reported the results, he looked at his brother with shocked eyes.

"The speed and strength are impeccable, and the angle is also very tricky. You must have been practicing for a long time."

Ralph raised his eyebrows.

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Guess."

"You little kid, still guessing!" Ralph rolled his eyes.

"If you're not a child at thirteen or fifteen, then what is it~"

The returned ball skill is 8. Everything returned by the system is the most advanced at the current level, much better than what Ralph has mastered.

Level 7 and level 8 are a big watershed.

Since he said he wanted to fight seriously, he would not show any mercy.

boom-!

Hit the tee shot again.

The speed was still very fast. The tennis ball slammed into the ground with a straight beam of light, raising a cloud of dust.

Ralph predicted and arrived at the landing point in advance.

But at this moment, the tennis ball suddenly bounced vertically and went straight towards his face.

The speed is very fast, even faster than the speed of a serve over the net.

There was no room for Ralph to adjust his return posture, so he could only force his head to the side to avoid the most direct damage from the tennis ball.

Swish-!

The tennis ball brushed past his cheek and flew high into the air, then fell out of bounds.

at the same time.

A trace of blood also slid down Ralph's face.

"1:0!"

Ryoma swallowed.

Outspin serve.

The familiar ball skills now become extremely unfamiliar.

The ball skills displayed by Lin Nan were on a completely different level.

"So...so awesome."

There was an uproar from the audience on the sidelines.

The visual impact of the outspin serve just now was so amazing that the ball bounced upwards completely vertically after landing.

Its angle is equal to 90°

"This monster."

Ralph wiped the blood from his cheek and couldn't help feeling a little scared when he recalled the serve just now.

If he hadn't dodged in time, the damage would have been even greater.

Ralph picked up the tennis ball and his face darkened.

The outspin serve that Lin Nan hit this time was far more terrifying than anything he had seen before.

Who would have thought that under such speed and force, there was such a rotation hidden, and it bounced back without any delay after landing.

It completely broke his previous understanding of outspin serve.

It was precisely because there was no delay that he dared to rush to the ball like this.
