< Footnote # 3 >

1 set, score 54, 58 minutes from game start.

It was a terribly growing game.

The audience couldn't recognize the rally because it was so urgent.

However, the players who were running directly on the court were sensing it. The sweaty clothes that were dripping with sweat caused me to even think that I was pulling on my body. I felt like my knees would relax if I let go of tension for a moment.

The commentators leading Park Sung-jin recognized the mutation on the coat first. They continued to speak, looking into the faces of the two players.

It is almost an hour since the finals began. It seems never easy for either player to maintain their current pace.

I can't believe it's been an hour. I thought it was about half an hour ago. Isn't that right, car commentary?

I agree. How urgent would two athletes be if they didn't know how urgently they were pulling off the game? Many viewers will be surprised when they see more time flowing than they thought.

The loud sounds of the outside do not reach the players. I think it's good for them to do things outside their coats.

Both athletes were able to understand what they had to do. This game was the first winner of the final.

‘This is the limit. I need her to rest...! ’

Kim Hyeong gripped his teeth. Even though the score was ahead of a game, it did not feel favorable at all. He was that desperate. With roughly half of the breathing remaining, muscles are more severe than that.

If you planned to bring him here, you're a really scary fighter. He looked at Han Woojin's face without me even knowing it. The human body is honest even though it is a type of game with poker face on each other. It was impossible not to reveal anything.

Han Woo-jin was beaten without avoiding that gaze. His unshakeable, upright appearance seemed to be paradoxical as to who was at the advantageous heights.

The score was not important to him. All you have to do is get there, the winner to be determined at the end.

“Test Han Serving Play! ”

As soon as the referee sends a signal to serve, Hanwoojin immediately tosses the ball and rolls his head. First of all, it was important not to give a gap. Save even a few seconds between serves. The target regains its original stats if the user gives it more time.

That was exactly what Han Woo-jin shouldn't have done.

Queek.

Several people changed their faces to different colors after Han Woo-jin's body was greatly twisted.

The commentators are joyful.

The audience is excited.

And the person facing it,

Damn it!

Kim Hyeong ran forward, closing his molars thoroughly.

So far, Han Woo-jin has only shown me five sparrows. The horse gear that changed its trajectory at its own pace was too high for the Service Ace. It was not a ball to his intention to continue demoralizing Rally.

That's why Kim Hyeong hasn't gotten used to Sparrow yet. The trajectory, of course, was also because even speed was a ball that surpassed his spent reflexes.

Paan!

Serve is in range. One way or another, my feet caught up. Kim opened his eyes and examined the ball's bounce.

I don't know which direction to splatter, so I've given you five points. If I don't know the boundary line, I'll continue to cut my nose with my eyes open.

However, Sparrow's determination was not enough to read.

Huff.

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

Kim's racket split the air, and Han Woo-jin won the vantage point. He sighs of relief as he sees the opposing Pokémon's strokes slip past their trajectory.

Eight or more chances were the ball that was confident in the Service Ace, but it was still uneasy.

The veteran was a veteran. If you had exposed the Sparrow a few more times in a few previous games, you might have just returned the previous ball.

‘I think it's time to be relieved. ’

I felt like I was almost done, so my excitement had subsided.

Hanwoojin again tossed the ball. Then he twists back and shoots at the sparrow with all his might.

Hanwoojin player! This game features a unique serve in succession! Why do you suddenly start using what you've been saving?

In a way, I think we've decided that this game is a challenge for the finals. Kim is slowly slowing down. Evidence of a lack of stamina.

Aha, you're going to do your best to make Deuces, aren't you? From what I hear, I can see the persistent determination of the hundred-man fighter that he won't even give me a break!

It was the same word.

Han Woo-jin to make Deuce.

Kim Hyung is going to finish one set somehow.

The winner of this game will definitely be in a favorable position. The nine games that have been drawn so far have only been the packaging for this tenth game. If I was attracted to Deuce, my stamina was already more than half the size of Kim.

And God raised his hand.

A sparrow that protruded three times in a row was hurled down on the outside of a foaming service coat like a lightning bolt.

Paan!

Forty Love (40: 0)! ”

“… damn it. ”

The relief crosses. Unlike Han Woo-jin, who is getting more relaxed, Kim's finger twitches with nervousness. You have to play at least two more games when you enter the dues, and once you reach the Tie Brake, that's where it ends.

Tiebreaks, endlessly rally, bring heaven to the winner and hell to the loser.

Moreover, Kim Hyeong could not finish two sets even if he overcame the tie brake.

Finish the set with a score of 75. That was the best scenario Kim could make.

Paan!

Finally, the last sub warps into a strange trajectory.

It was still difficult to read the trajectory. Kim Hyeong looks at the sparrow, gathering glances to announce the beginning of Dust.

“Han Test Game! 55, Deuce! ”

I was annoyed by the clean voice of the referee.

Kim found his hot forehead with his hands raised. The sweaty skin was just unpleasant.

In fact, from Kim's point of view, it was a triumphant game from the beginning. The opponent, Han Woo-jin, senses his lack of stamina with the ability of the system and digs hard into it.

Of course, I didn't intend to criticize it. Aiming for weaknesses in the first place is the foundation of sports.

But this time the situation was too bad.

‘Did the difference between one piece of paper turn upside down? ’

The greater the skill difference, the better the small factor. There are some advantages to being overwhelmingly competent, so we can turn the sphere upside down. However, in this case, it was the opposite.

What existed between Han Woo-jin and Kim was a step superior. It was a dangerous interval that could not be overturned with normal flow, but could be overturned immediately.

And finally, there was a trigger.

Kim's condition dyslexia, Hanwoojin's system capability, flipped the plate.

Oh, Kim Hyung, you don't look so good. You don't seem to have enough time to hide your condition. It also means that Han Woo-jin has pushed Kim Hyung-seong as closely as he can, right?

Of course, because Han Woo-jin can still breathe. If you continue to reach the Tie Brake, you will fall first on Kim Hyung's side. If Kim Hyung wants to win, you need to finish the set as soon as possible.

But Hanwoojin is not a stand-up player. Now, if you think about it, all the games that have been pulling rallies have been the design of a heavyweight player. A player who can play meticulously with that much computation now comes along and makes mistakes

It's not the same.

At first, the commentators who were winning on Kim's side gradually changed their words. It was because it seemed to them that Kim was gradually losing his strength.

The sharp ability to move into the net and put it where I wanted it to be crushed that day.

The restraint of the sub, which was not still fast, was slower than the level that could be covered by the change.

“Game Hyungtae Kim! ”

Kim, who barely won the sub-game, placed his hand on his knee and breathed heavily. If I don't have enough face and shape, I'm running out of breath. I had to destroy the foam and scrape together the remaining strength.

He accepts the defeat in this match. His physical strength is being cut in real time in two sets. Even if I broke Hanwoojin's sub-game and finished one set, I was unable to continue the next set.

‘Win at least one set. ’

If only things had been the way they were.

If only I had more stamina.

It's not a professional to make excuses like that. I couldn't even convince my pride as a senior. Kim Hyeong wanted to go down after winning at least one set. That was the last power he could show.

“Test Han Serving Play! ”

Kim closed his eyes when he saw Han Woo-jin pick up the ball. Fast and sophisticated sub skills for sparrows that are difficult to cope with even in full swing. It was almost impossible to brake Han Woojin's sub-game in his current state.

If so, do not move. Tybreak is a match between who wins 7 points first. It was wise to save as much health as possible and aim for a short-term battle.

Hanwoojin also recognized Kim's thoughts. Then I didn't even have to use the sparrow. He slaps the flat serve, which is ordinary, yet sharp.

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

Forty Love (40: 0)! ”

The game convinced each other that the points had passed in an instant. Han Woo-jin stuck the ball into a foamy coat that was not even moving with the fourth sub.

“Han Test Game! 66! ”

The voice of the referee lifts the Kim shaped eyelid that was sitting heavily.

It might be the last game in Seoul Open.

Tie Break has begun.

* * *

Tiebreaks are a special rule for players who win by 7 points with a difference of 2 points. A player who is next to a sub-game first inserts one point of sub, then alternately sub every two points thereafter.

Kim looked at the ball rolling in the palm of his hand and touched his shoulder. Screams of bruised muscles and joints over a short period of time.

‘Hang on a little longer. ’

Defeat was acceptable. But I didn't want to justify defeat for lack of stamina. Kim Hyeong took a deep breath and took a deep breath.

Town.

The swollen lungs erased the pain that had been transmitted. The oxygen that was briefly overfed satisfied the demand.

Kim threw up the ball without missing the gap.

Paan!

The power returns a little.

Han Woo-jin was suddenly surprised at the original speed of the sub and was delayed. The ball of coat protrudes toward the sideline as he takes a step.

“OneZero. Hyungtae Kim!”

The score of the tie break is called in a way different from the previous game. The referee names the higher-scored side after them to distinguish who wins the points.

Han Woo-jin, holding over the sub, lifted the ball. He had a rough guess, too. Kim's physical strength had already fallen to 600. You can't go on two sets with just one quarter of everything. Maybe one set, and then you'll be ready to give up.

You're thinking.

To put it bluntly, Han Woo-jin won whether he beat this tie break or not.

‘But I can't lose to you. ’

The user aims at opposing Pokémon, not always, and stabs them with thorough weaknesses.

What's the big deal about winning? Allows the target to go down in a relaxed state of mind?

That was unacceptable.

Sparrow.

In this match, horseshoes appeared in succession without even allowing a single return. Han Woo-jin slapped the two sub-spheres he was given with all the sparrows.

Paan!

TwoOne, test Han! ”

With two Aces of Service, Han Woo-jin took the lead again. It was a workshop that matched the words "daily retirement." Kim Hyeong received the ball again with his eyes sunk.

Paan!

The fiercely slapped ball flew into orbit. It was a sub that regained its power in the first game. However, Han Woo-jin had returned the Kim Jong-seok serve from the second rally. It was the same for him, not always.

Bam!

Returns the Pokémon to a distance, aiming for a point that lowers its HP rather than speeding up. Hanwoojin lightly raises the protruding serve.

A floating ball flew over the head of a foam. He hurriedly turns, but before two steps forward, Han Woojin's robe shot knocks his coat.

“ThreeOne, Testing Han! ”

However, Kim Hyeong was also not being beaten. He had a very different attitude than the one he had attacked so far.

Bam!

It was not a drive that turned left and right. A topspin serve that suddenly drops to the ground. Kim Hyeong was a ball that had rarely been used in his life as a player. It pierced Hanwoojin's bluff reading the ball's path through the accumulated data.

“ThreeTwo, Testing Han! ”

The sub-sphere has turned again. Han Woo-jin used the remaining SP to prepare the sparrow. The foaming style that rarely lifts the ball overhead prevents the slug from working.

The number of sparrows used with this exceeds 10 rounds. Han Woo-jin inadvertently overlooked Kim's low power.

Paan!

Fierce rupture that seems to declare a score.

However, Kim stood still and jumped into the service coat without hesitation.

Paan!

Accurate return shot. The moment it bounces to the right, a foaming racket bursts into flames. It was the result of abusing the sparrow to achieve the dues, and to win the tie brake.

Three All! ”

That's the whistle.

Four points remaining.

Despite reaching health limits, the country's # 1 lowest strength was strong. Just as Korea's strongest title cannot yet be handed over, he stood firm and lit up the black eyes.

‘If we don't win this tie break, we will win this shell. ’

In order to say that I defeated Kim Hyeong in a true sense, I had to battle before the opponent's time worked out.

What's the point of having to go two sets and win the lottery?

If the opponent wasn't Kim, then this competition was just a regular Challenge League.

Han Woo-jin caught the spirit of unwitting.

Inside the strategist who was calculatively solving the battle, his pride, who was bowing, rose with determination.
