God of Tennis

Smash Horse Gear crosses Slug and Leonard's racket.

The two constellations that seemed to overlap for a moment immediately ended the crossing with one bouncing off.

Th...!

It was not the sound of a normal stroke. It was the scream of the racket that was straightened out, not the mesh. And then there's a sharp sound.

Fuck you!

“Love Fifteen (0: 15)! ”

Leonard, who received the ball from a slanted racket, stares blankly at the racket that flew away with a blank face. I couldn't understand what just happened. That little one-foot-long guy blew up his racket?

‘Nonsense. ’

You're up to something. That's what Leonard thought.

It didn't make any sense to think about it. No matter how strong the ball was, there was a limit to the tennis ball. The ball changes its shape elastically, so it easily absorbs and releases its force. Touch the racket's sweet spot and you can easily bounce any ball

I had to fight.

Stopping his accident from approaching Slug's principle in an instant was nothing more than a voice prompting the referee, sub.

“Leonard, Serve! ”

“Yeah, yeah, I got it. ”

I haven't lost my edge yet. Leonard shakes his head and shakes his hand. But he realizes that his wrist, which had just received a strange ball, is beginning to hurt awfully. It wasn't that bad, but it felt like it was interfering with my body rhythm.

It was like bad noise.

Leonard's face, which was twirling and smiling, sank into a new cold. I threw the ball up the same height as before, whether I knew it or not.

Paan!

This time, the sub, which was plugged into a terrifying angle, bounced off at a low pound. I'm still a little late. Hanwoojin looks at the ball rolling out of his coat with a cheerful face. What's with all the monsters?

“Fifteen All (15: 15)! ”

Hearing the referee's declaration of tie, Han Woo-jin understood why Leonard's wrist was fine. It was because of the kind of grudge he was trying to fight against the slug. Another technique for obtaining a Smash, unlike the Understroke.

‘Drop Volley… I guess it was just a racket because you were losing power. ’

It was a peculiar or peculiar technique at the boundary of Dropshot and Bali. A drop shot that drains the power immediately after taking a gesture that seems to be trying to return it strongly. It's more of a "fetch" technique than a "hit" racket.

Leonard probably tried Drop Bali. And the hand that was properly loosened missed the racket hit by the slug. Thanks to you, the damage to your wrists will be minimal. The reaction was also low because it was being demolished.

It was a very lucky case.

If I thought of a normal return and received it underneath, I might look like Daniel.

Besides,

Are you on guard? You're not some kind of animal... Do you have a good feeling? ’

Normally, it was natural to think of a ball like that as a stroke. A ball that blew up a racket for a different player. If such a ball were made with technology, it would have to be a circus stage on the coat. If Han Woo-jin doesn't get his hands on special skills, he's going to die.

It was a ball I couldn't even dream of.

But Leonard is clearly wary of slugs. Still close to the semi-religious, he adjusts the bounce of the beating sub low.

Papang!

“Thirty Fifteen (30: 15)! ”

But it wasn't just that things were getting worse. Hanwoojin notices Leonard's imprisonment is slipping away. It was still difficult to react, but I could barely keep up with it even if I was a little further away from here.

The figure in the speed gun was also significantly reduced compared to that of the first game.

227 km/h.

‘It's not that there's no damage. Give one more shot and the sub-restraint will come down to the area where it can react. ’

Hanwoojin saved the life that was fading away. Even if he had a battle with no victory, he would have to relax, but the story was different from the one that looked just a little bit. The moment Leonard hits the high bounce ball again, there's a chance.

But he wasn't too shabby. Until the end of the nine games, Leonard punched out only the Baseball Serve. A sparse sub crossing the reflection area knocked again on Hanwoojin's coat.

“Leonard's game! ”

So the battle moved on to the next game. The two players exchange their coats for a slightly tired face. They are fiercely accommodated for about nine games, so anyone who is playing will be exhausted. Leonard, who was standing at a relatively high vantage point, started breathing lightly.

It is Han Woo-jin who is confident that he will not support anyone. The target is ready to bite as soon as it comes down to the same stage as you.

“Test Han Serving Play! ”

He takes the ball in the air and sets into position. Game ten. It was the first time he ever faced a sparrow in a row in five games. Moreover, the success rate of the carriage has fallen by up to 50%. It was a moderate crisis.

But if we stop the sparrow here, it's over. Han Woo-jin had no other balls to be half sure he could score against Leonard.

‘I only survive this game. ’

The score is 54. Winning just one game leads to Duce. The rally could have been possible after pulling the slug one more time from the next game's reception.

From Han Woo-jin's point of view, it was okay even if the battle was from the beginning of the rally. As it is now, when Subman's scores came and went, the bottom came out first.

He throws the ball to strike the sparrow and twists. The half-turned reversal was still odd.

That's when the stool happened.

“Ugh!"

Bam!

Immediately before the racket hit the ball, sharp pain arose from Hanwoojin's forearms and elbows. Fortunately, the serve was successful. He reaches out his left hand and squeezes his right arm, almost accidentally dropping the racket.

Wook.

“Ugh...”

The taste is gone. Han Woo-jin's face turns to dirt. The elbow flexes from the top of the right wrist. Inflammation following excessive muscle stiffness. After repeated contractions and relaxation, blood vessels died and red spots appeared on the skin.

I was sparring 4 games in a row, but I was able to get the slug from too much reaction. It is a body limit, not an area of SP or HP. No matter how great the system was, it was only the ability to mediate the flesh. How much stamina is left

There is no way to consume an injured joint or muscle.

‘... I can't believe I didn't know until I became such a jerk. ’

Han Woo-jin was full. Even if I focused on the game, I didn't feel any pain until my arm was this broken.

Even if I hold the racket a little tighter, my whole forearm creaks. It was hard to hit the sparrow with such an arm. If I put my arm in ice right now, I could pour it all over. Hanwoojin turns his head toward the referee and opens his mouth.

“Medical time please. ”

* * *

“It's a temporary inflammation, but it can get worse if you keep playing. ”

Hanwoojin frowned as he listened to the medical staff. As soon as I started cold steaming, it was literally a temporary inflammation, my pain stopped. However, this procedure was always temporary. Even a sparrow could turn into a road amitabul.

What do I do?

It was right to cherish the body more than not knowing whether a seasonal athlete would win or lose. But it was Han Woo-jin's first ATP tour. I didn't intend to be greedy like winning or semi-winning, but I felt bad thinking about finishing with a abstinence.

He opens his mouth after a moment of deliberation.

“ … It's okay. ”

“Phew, got it. Don't overdo it. ”

The doctor knew that once the players decided, they would never flip over. The bull's stubbornness caused one or two broken bodies. He left to advise Han Woo-jin in a worried manner.

Remaining medical time is about 5 minutes. Within that short period of time, there was little chance that my forearm would recover. Hanwoojin glanced at the clock in the corner of the contest. I felt a deep breath of indifference.

Leonard speaks from across the net as Hanwoojin climbs back onto his coat. He's expressing a somewhat regretful expression, not a grumpy face until now.

“ Are you okay? Are you sure you can do this? ”

“I want to try a set. ”

The ridiculed under-serve guy makes me feel weird because he worries. Han Woo-jin replied with a shaky face. Leonard kicks his tongue lightly, returning to his original position. Apparently, he was sorry he got hurt.

‘I don't know what that is. ’

I thought you were just a bad person, and now I'm worried about you. Hanwoojin tilted his head once and cleared his mind. It wasn't that small of a thing to care about now. How do you get out of a game when a sparrow and a specialist are sealed?

That was all.

As a result of his remaining medical time, Han Woo-jin reached the conclusion that there was no breakthrough in the situation.

“Still... I want to finish one set. ”

I didn't want to finish the ATP tour with a single set score and a full hand. I would blame the director if he knew, but Han Woo-jin's feelings were like this. I didn't think I'd be able to forget it if I just walked away from here.

“Player Ready! ”

The game has started again.

Hanwoojin throws the ball up with his left arm, which still has the strength. A moderately powerful ball flew over the net at a slow speed to the fly racket. Leonard wasn't the one who let the ball go.

Paan!

“Fifteen All (15: 15)! ”

You grin bitterly. You try to target the opponent's wrist, but you don't think your arm will break first. The cause of this defeat was the carelessness of Hanwoojin who was unaware of the penalty of its function because he was too dependent on the system.

But that's okay. Now I know. The next competition, and the next one will be a little better.

Papang!

“Fifteen Thirty (15: 30)! ”

Leonard was also a little rusty. He strongly returns the flying serve to a demoralized face. Hanwoojin didn't even have the strength to swing the racket properly. I didn't know if I could swing it properly or hurt my forearm.

The fierce set that gave and received nine games tilted its weight at once.

“Fifteen Forty (15: 40)! Leonard set point! ”

I had a hunch that this was the end. Leonard picks at the racket, looking at Hanwoojin with a grumpy face. It meant hit the last serve quickly. I wanted to play a little, so I was disappointed in this heartless ending.

Finally, Han Woo-jin punches in the last serve. A ball that weighs down your right arm and barely crosses the net. Leonard then leaps out and drops the ball that popped into the low air lightly.

Even Han Woo-jin, who was not feeling well, was impressed with the reception. Maybe even without an arm injury, the odds wouldn't be half as good.

“Leonard's game! Set won by Leonard Sweet! ”

With the declaration of the end of the set of referees, Hanwoojin moved toward the net. Leonard understands his intentions and walks away. The two hold hands with the net between them.

It was a firm, intense handshake that all the bad feelings disappeared during the game.

“What a pity. I look forward to it, my friend. ”

“Next time, I'll give you a good punch. ”

Leonard clenches his fist with a puzzling English answer. Hanwoojin touches his heavy fist with his own.

And the referee, who identified Hanwoojin's intention to abstain, announced the end of the match, while simultaneously remembering in his mind a series of sentences.

[Contest Over! Reconcile your progress.]

[For the first time in an ATP250 League and making it to the 16th Rank, your Strength stat is +1 and your Agility stat is +2.]

[Greatly increases skill EXP.]

[Robe level up by 1.]

[Increases drop shot level by 1.]

Hanwoojin's observation of all settlements was simple.

He vomited a good word out of his lips.

“Oh, let's go up. ”

< Round of 16 # 3 > End
