God of Tennis

< Hunting Beasts # 2 >

Hanwoojin and Max take the first game with ease through their carelessness. The more you think you're dominant, the harder it is to think your opponent will be aggressive!

Did you see Max's face when he first served? This ball feels so refreshing.

It started with one punch, Han Woojin! But never let your guard down. This was a one-off raid. If you change your mind, you can get it back properly.

It was said to be a sub-game, but it wasn't something you could win with confidence against Max. The commentators expressed concern about the game that remained while enjoying Han Woo-jin's score. Max's face came out right after he started it.

So...

“Game 2, Muller to Serve! ”

Max takes the ball and throws it. Height closer to 10 cm than Hanwoojin created a sharp sub angle. Striking in any sport is the ultimate in power. In tennis, sub and smash were the same ball.

Paan!

With a sharp sound, the green ball breaks the wind. However, Hanwoojin was not embarrassed. It was a ball I had seen a few hundred times more. Moreover, Max's sub-skills were only mediocre compared to that. There was nothing better than the acute angles of renal differences.

So I take it.

Bam!

‘The problem is then. ’

Ultra-speed return based on Max's bizarre reflexes, a symbol of irrationality that destroys all skills with one talent. Hanwoojin pauses and watches the target's movements.

On the other hand, Max starts to move from the moment he picks up the ball. I'm sure I'm late for halftime. Nevertheless, I was not late at all. You slap the ball hard, as if it were a flew body leaping in front of Nate.

Paan!

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

It was an unexpected setback. Therefore, Han Woo-jin did not panic at all and lowered his posture in preparation for the next sub. I had no intention of braking from the first sub-game anyway. If I could analyze Max's bizarre return, I'd be a good merchant.

The second sub was also the same. Hanwoojin tries a steady return, and Max sprints out at a terrifying speed and turns the ball around. No matter how many times I tried, the same result seemed to come out.

However, Hanwoojin felt a subtle peculiarity. I felt like I was missing something that was clearly visible.

‘I have to try again. ’

Bam!

This time, I returned the serve in the reverse direction. The ball flew in the direction of the backhand, not the forhand. Max's forehand and backhand were similar levels. It meant that there was not much difference in skill level. Therefore, the reaction was not too late.

Paan!

Forty Love (40: 0)! ”

From the standpoint, the battle was one-sided. Just as Han Woo-jin easily scored points in the first game, Max seemed to have complete control of his game. I was thinking the same thing.

‘Not bad, but this is how it ends. I can't believe Asians put their name in the World Rankings. ’

A sly smile rises from Max's mouth. He glances across the street, smiling brightly. Korean prodigy was not his enemy. The serve in the first game impressed me quite a lot, but I was also confident that I would get it from the next game.

In the end, the victory and defeat was fixed from the beginning.

However, Han Woo-jin did not think so. He firmly confirmed the assumption that he might have just had with the rally. It was the key to dominating the victory and defeat if it was aimed well.

‘I give you this game. ’

I caught a hint of a counterattack, but I didn't have to catch it right now. There was no reason to do too much to try to reverse it in a 3-point situation.

Paan!

“Game Muller! ”

Max laughs confidently.

Hanwoojin shines eyes under the mask of the expressionless.

The two bronze dreams went deeper. The winner or loss of the match will tell you which way is going in the right direction. Han Woo-jin gave up his second game and took a breath.

The sub-game returns to him.

Ah, Han Woo-jin! Unfortunately, you can't win a single point and hand over 2 games. I don't think I'm being careless, but Max's movements have surpassed expectations.

That's right. You wouldn't expect us to continue to pitch our perfect return ball to Sub & Bali. It's a great response if you succeed in one game.

I saw things differently. The movement was static as if it were an observation. It looked like Hanwoojin was trying to explore.

The three commentators started arguing again about the second game. Of course, who's right and who's wrong is a story that you don't know unless you get two players together and have them debate. What they kept quiet about was right after the third game began.

In a video sent from a distant foreign camera, Hanwoojin was toasting the ball in a unique posture.

“Really?"

He spit out one person, but all three thought alike.

Puang!

Fifteen Love (15: 0)!

A straight down sub protrudes upward, keeping the restraint above 200. The problem was in that direction. The ball that flew from the front without spins was bent 90 degrees to the right. It was a physically feasible ball, a stunger, trajectory transformation.

Here we go! Hanwoojin, we only got to the finals to get the hidden sub out!

That's not something even Max can stop! I don't know how they react to that kind of containment, but they bounce off me right after the Bound, so how am I supposed to get it? We're gonna get our asses kicked whether we see them or not!

It was as the commentators said.

Max only opens his mouth because he has no manners. I've never seen a ball like that in Europe.

"Think about it, think about it. ’

Han Woo-jin sly laughed. Opponent's Speed Player relies on instinct. If so, purity falls from the time useless complaints are inserted. The unknown sub, Stinger, was a ball enough to crack Max Muller's mind.

If the sub is visible but unable to read the subsequent boundary direction, instinctive reactions ultimately limit it. Unrefined talents were like coal without diamonds.

The Stinger seemed impossible to distinguish from the ordinary flat sub. That's how it works. I was able to build an effective strategy for Max that wouldn't work for any other athlete.

“Han Test Game! 12! ”

Excellent work. Max gives up the game without letting go of his hands or feet as a precaution for the other player to figure out what to do immediately. It was an inevitable gap for humans to show off their talents without training.

‘Serve isn't the only one. ’

The bluffing room using Stinger was just the beginning.

Max's weakness lies in a much easier place than he thought. Moreover, it was not a weakness worth fixing during the game. It was a fatal break to digest at least monthly training.

“Game 4! Muller to Serve! ”

And the weakness is to stab.

* * *

The propaganda opening finals began to tilt in a direction that no one had thought of.

Those who boasted they knew a little tennis kept their mouths shut. They only opened their eyes as they watched the game change unilaterally.

“... Max can't keep up. Doesn't he look a little weak today? ”

“I see. The speed at which we're getting hit is no different than usual, but it's malty. Everyone is hitting that Han Woo-jin. ”

“You don't... know? ”

The first thing I began to understand was the crowd, not the party Max. They were as tall as their eyes when they looked at tennis in their own way. Max had a vision that he did not possess, which he thought was a talent that made the world a joke.

Hanwoojin aimed, and Max's weakness, which even the spectators recognized, was not difficult. It's so simple that no one has ever gone after it.

It was a pioneering eye.

‘My body reacts at will. So you wouldn't have to read backwards or fight. ’

It was originally a term that refers to the eyes of the batsman who determines the pitcher's ball in baseball, but it was also commonly used in other ball sports. Ultimately, it narrows the user's intentions. It was the same for tennis.

But Max didn't need a forerunner's eye.

The user can receive the ball for any trick the target performs. So I didn't have to roll my head to see the intent.

But now the advantage has become poisonous. Han Woo-jin aimed at two steps, not one. The user gives the opposing Pokémon a return ball and lowers the target's score to the point where it can be hit as expected.

‘It wouldn't have worked if I was a different player. ’

Even James Cooper, who met him in the first round, would have broken it easily. The intent was too clear, so it was easy to read. I never thought I'd be using this standard in a basic number fighting-ATP250 finals.

Besides, it was funnily effective.

Max was dragged around as Han Woo-jin intended. Without even realizing he was a puppet playing on the doll's palm, he ran wild, unable to understand why he was losing.

You're too attractive, Max! At this rate, your health and points will continue to be taken away!

I think we should return the beast's name. That looks like some kind of poop training. even though Han Woojin doesn't use such a great tactic.

It's a blind spot that no one thought of, Max Muller. I can't believe that ranker didn't have enough preliminaries. Are his eyes blurred by his remarkable reflexes? The one who stabbed the blind spot, very good.

What is even more troubling is that, even if you know it, you cannot fix it. There was no immediate way to make up for the lack of prelude. Max's gift was always a terribly delicate reflex, not in the eye of the ball reader.

He stopped thinking and chose to lean on instinct. It was too much in the first place for Max, who did not know the basics of tactics, to detect Han Woojin's prey.

‘You really don't have the skills to learn. ’

It was a series of flawed flows. Max's drop picks up the serve he hit. And the drop hits the robe into the air, and Max flies the Smash as if he was waiting. Where Han Woo-jin went first and waited.

Paan!

Spherical strikes, such as smash, almost inevitably fail when hit by a counter. This is because restoring posture takes time, and if you are hit with a punch, the ball leaves your coat before responding.

One round of Hanwoojin's counter pierced Max's reflection area and decorated the last set.

“Han Test Game! Set won by Ujin Han, 26! ”

Twenty-six.

It was an unexpected score for him too. I was trembling because I couldn't exceed my expectations. The finals that were thought to be difficult fights were much easier than the first and second rounds. Should I call it a tactical victory?

Hanwoojin looks at Max's face walking from the other side. It was always a face that was victorious, uplifted with a bold and arrogant attitude.

But now it's different.

‘... It's worse than I thought. ’

First, my eyes sank cloudy. The tail of the mouth that was going up was sagging down, and the shoulders that were stretching were bent inward. The human mind was able to recognize the shape even if only by looking at the posture. Max lost all his firepower just 40 minutes ago.

was.

62nd place in the world. Is this the only level of menthol a player can reach?

To be honest, I was disappointed. Henry Joel would have been the enemy of the final if he hadn't been injured. The target I met on the world stage was a cat imitating a tiger.

“What a waste of talent. ”

A heavy voice rolled in Han Woo-jin's mouth. Even though he was gifted like that, he didn't train himself. He was an incomprehensible athlete. Is talent so miserable that it doesn't make an effort?

‘Well, that's fine. ’

Ultimately, the opponent has to be defeated. You don't have to worry about the possibilities of his talents. Hanwoojin coldly cut off the roots of the unnecessary thoughts. Otherwise, he was not a compassionate person.

“Fu… k…!"

You hear a eerie voice not far away. It was never a voice that reflected his own flaws or arrogance.

The rest time given between sets, 15 minutes passed quickly.

“Shenzhen Open Final, Set 2! Player Ready!”

The two get up on their feet almost simultaneously. Unlike the set, both faces settle cold.

As soon as the two players settled in their coats, the referee immediately declared a start by swinging his arms.

Love All (0: 0)! Test Han Serving Play! ”
