Chapter 725: Tezuka is going to lose?
"The game continues!"
With the referee's crisp whistle, the fierce competition began again.
The players from both sides quickly took their positions and the eleventh game officially began. Tezuka Kunimitsu served first.
Standing in the serving area, Kunimitsu Tezuka first exhaled lightly. After all, after ten consecutive rounds of high-intensity confrontation, even someone with excellent physical fitness couldn't help but feel a little powerless and a little weak.
But he knew very well that the more critical the moment was, the more he could not take it lightly and had to go all out.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
A few dull sounds of hitting the ball echoed throughout the court, and the tennis racket in Tezuka's hand kept hitting the ground, making rhythmic sounds.
With every swing of the racket, his gaze became more and more fierce, like two cold lightning bolts shooting out, making people dare not look directly at him.
Tezuka moved, and the racket in his hand instantly raised high, and then
"Shh-"
With a crisp sound, the tennis ball flew into the sky like a cannonball.
His movements were smooth and seamless, and were exactly the same as the Zero-style serve he had performed before.
Moreover, the tennis ball hit this time not only had an extremely strong rotation, but also had an astonishingly fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already flown to Sanada's half of the court.
"Here we go again! It's that damned Zero serve again!"
Tachibana Jiping couldn't help but exclaim.
The hearts of the other spectators on the sidelines instantly rose to their throats. They stared wide-eyed, nervously watching the development of the situation on the field, wondering whether Sanada could successfully break Tezuka's trick this time.
"Although Sanada's wonderful score just now was indeed amazing, if we look at it from the perspective of efficiency, the zero serve was more shocking."
Akutagawa Jiro shook his head and muttered to himself.
At this moment, there was a loud bang.
"boom-!"
It turned out to be the sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground heavily.
Before the loud noise faded, a dazzling lightning shadow came rushing over like lightning and arrived at the place where the tennis ball landed in the blink of an eye.
Looking closely, the person coming was none other than Genichirō Sanada.
The speed was beyond imagination. Almost at the moment when the tennis ball landed on the ground, he had successfully reached the location of the ball.
Seeing this, Oshitari Yuushi from Hyotei Academy couldn't help but widen his eyes and said to himself in confusion, "What on earth does this guy Sanada want to do? Is he planning to fight back directly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, what happened next undoubtedly confirmed his premonition.
The tennis ball that had already fallen to the ground suddenly seemed to be hit by a huge force. It bounced up and flew towards the other side at an extremely fast speed.
"Tezuka, let me break your proud Zero serve today!"
Sanada held the racket tightly with both hands, shouted loudly, and chopped down with all his strength. His movements were as fast as a thunderstorm, bringing with them a sharp sound of wind.
With a loud "boom", the entire stadium shook.
"Is that really the case..."
Seeing this, Kunimitsu Tezuka, who was standing on the opposite field, frowned slightly.
Since the referee had not yet blown the whistle to signal the suspension of the game, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
He immediately moved his feet and rushed towards the direction where the lightning was coming from as fast as possible, while raising the racket in his hand and swinging it hard.
Under the tense gazes of everyone present, there was only a dull "bang" sound, and the racket and the tennis ball collided hard.
At that moment, a shockingly powerful force like a raging storm suddenly erupted without warning, as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.
This force swept wildly in all directions with overwhelming force, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn into pieces.
Tezuka's arms began to shake violently under the impact, swaying like a branch in the wind.
The piercing pain came like a tide, instantly submerging his entire arm.
The pain was so intense that Tezuka could no longer hold the racket tightly in his hand. His fingers loosened involuntarily, and the tennis ball flew out along with the racket, finally hitting the ground heavily out of bounds.
The referee announced loudly: "Sanada Genichirō scores, the score is 15:0!"
This result was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the audience. People looked at each other with astonishment and disbelief written all over their faces.
"Oh my God! The Zero serve actually...actually bounced back!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yeah, how come the Zero serve, which has always been successful, suddenly becomes ineffective?" another person asked in confusion.
For a time, all kinds of speculations and discussions arose one after another.
"Is it because he serves too many times that his arms can't bear the pressure and he makes mistakes?" Someone raised this possibility.
However, someone immediately refuted: "That's impossible. Judging from the ball just now, the quality of Zero's serve has not been affected at all. Even Sanada's momentum seems to have changed dramatically."
"Well, it is very likely caused by other reasons." Many people nodded in agreement.
Although the audience had different opinions, in fact only the regular players of Seigaku and Rikkai University knew what was going on.
They looked at each other, and seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding; no one spoke the truth.
The reason why Sanada was able to successfully return the Zero serve was that after a long period of observation and research, he finally mastered the landing timing of the Zero serve, and cleverly used the Black Dragon X Heavy Slash technique to quickly sweep the ball up, thus catching Tezuka off guard.
Strictly speaking, this counterattack technique actually walks on the edge of the rules, and it may cross the line and violate the rules if you are not careful.
Sanada's operation was so covert that the referee didn't notice anything at all.
Even if it is discovered, it is unknown whether the referee will make a penalty.
After all, such skills may not be useful at all in the world championship where the rules are strictly enforced.
But for Sakura events where the rules are relatively loose and less rigorous, the possibility of being penalized is very small.
"Oh my! This is really a big trouble!"
Horio let out a shrill wail with despair on his face. At this time, on the court, Tezuka still kept his face calm and slammed the tennis racket in his hand on the ground again and again.
