“Han Test Game! Set won by Ujin Han, 64! ”

When the classic Han Woo-jin won a set, the commentators who were watching the game, who were anxious, took a breath into the group because they knew the importance of winning and losing a set.

The first game, the first set, was an important battlefield in any event. If you lose the first set, you have to win two sets in a row, and the burden comes back doubled. It is a situation where the winning side benefits greatly.

Phew, that concludes with a set of 64 scores, starting with nine games, and it looks like a little bit of a player is returning to his face. What do you think of Yun's commentary?

I felt the same way. You didn't have a bit of a crush on the Suzuki defenses in the first place, did you? But they're gradually finding their true colors. I don't know where Han Woojin found the trigger, but it seems to be working.

.

Suzuki is one of the most defensive fighters. It's one of the best in Japan, and it's because of the long arm defenses. I don't know what Han Woojin did.

It was definitely a good thing to overcome, but it was also confusing for commentators who were professionals in analyzing matches. Suddenly, the player who appeared to be struggling began to turn the board. I didn't understand it because I couldn't read it.

The gaze of the audience, including the three commentators, was directed toward Hanwoojin, who sat on the bench and wiped his sweat. He holds up a bucket of water that he brought to his natural face and writhes his neck. I couldn't figure out what he was up to just looking at him like that.

Of course, Hanwoojin himself knew the secret. The gaps in Suzuki's defenses that seemed to be impeccable steel walls.

‘Rich being long wasn't just a good thing. ’

He glances at Suzuki, who similarly sits down and relaxes nearby. I was worried that the tip of my limp hand would touch the ground because my arm was so long. That was the identity and core of Suzuki's defenses. And me.

It was an unbeatable loophole.

“Set 2! Player Ready!”

In response to the call of the referee, two athletes jumped up. Thanks to his brief breaths, both of them were moving quietly. For the next 10 minutes, your physical strength won't hold your ankle.

Hanwoojin sets down a towel damp with sweat wiped off and heads back to his position. Suzuki stretches his long arm across the net and looks at him. I was holding the racket, and I suddenly remembered the status window.

Suzuki Takuo

Strength 58/HP 61/Agility 59

HP 1620/2440 SP 790/790

Forehand: 11/20

Backhand: 10/20

Sub-Level: 9/20

Bali Level: 13/20

Smash Level: 13/20

Dropshot Level: 13 of 20

Robe Level: 10/20

Special Skill: None

It was already checked before the match, but there was one question that came to mind. There were not enough skill levels or stats, but no special skills were expressed. This meant that there was something different about Ryosuke Okuda.

‘Okuda was marked in the status window before the style was completed. ’

Although Suzuki knew that unlike him, he did not appear immediately depending on the conditions, he was a athlete establishing a particular style. Like Okuda, there was nothing unusual about it. But that didn't happen. I can only guess one reason.

It was only Ziman.

Hanwoojin glances at Suzuki's arm, which is still twisting. It may not seem that special skills do not appear only by relying on physical characteristics. Okuda didn't settle for a dual handshake, but a breakthrough for developing it.

I made De Doubles, but Suzuki ended up playing normal with his long arms.

So as soon as one of his weaknesses came out, his style started shaking. Han Woo-jin coldly set Suzuki's limits. If they were skilled enough to be judged by special skills, they wouldn't be shaken or poked a few times.

“Game 1! Test Han Serving Play! ”

Thanks to the completion of one set in even units, I was able to win the sub-ticket again. Hanwoojin envisioned a rally by saying that he had thrown and received a few times. Suzuki's arm length was clearly an elusive variable, but it was not difficult if the weaknesses were clearly exposed. Yi

The situation was halfway through the U.S. analysis.

Bam!

A tidy serve pops up with a cheerful sound. It was a formal drive serve, likely to appear in textbooks everywhere. A ball that won't make a mistake if you get a hundred Suzuki hits. As expected, he stepped forward without hesitation.

You swing your arm like a whip.

Paan!

Unlike Han Woo-jin, there was a sharp sound. It was not the way to hit the ball around the wrist, but the way to swing it with the shoulders and elbows. The bigger the movement in any sport, the more powerful it becomes.

The ball flew in with a fierce sound, taking a picture of Hanwoojin's service coat and bouncing at a low angle. Fortunately, it was a return that did not exceed the expected category. Hanwoojin turns the ball around with a slanted racket.

But that direction was strange. When all the commentators who were watching saw the rotating ball's trajectory, they tilted their heads. The point of the ball dropping was strange.

Hanwoojin returns the ball to where the Suzuki player is. Isn't it too easy to send it back like that? I don't know where the usual aggressive look went.

I think I have an idea... I don't know. What the hell were you thinking, linking the rally like that? I hit the ball at the Suzuki player again. It means it's not a mistake.

But there is a Yonke rally going on. Or is Suzuki not saving his chances? It's easy to hit, but rarely hits hard.

The commentators' analysis was half right, half wrong. All I could see was Suzuki Takuo's face. He was not the face of a man standing at a favorable altitude. Instead, he was facing the man in front of the cliff, as if he was in a corner.

Ground

The bizarre balance broke down as the two players exchanged the ninth ball. Suzuki smashed the ball into the frame of the racket with just the right depth.

“Ah…! ”

I know my mistakes before anyone else. The dull hand that felt before the ball splashed proved it. The green ball rolls over the floor, not over the net, just as it proves the breath coming out of Suzuki's mouth.

“Fifteen Love (15: 0)! ”

The point has been overstepped. Hanwoojin straightens his wrist lightly. It seemed like I had seen this situation before, as opposed to Suzuki, who started sweating for just how long after the set of two had begun. Han Woo-jin said

The ball was grabbed for the next serve, stealing a horrible nosebleed.

So far, even those who had seen did not feel the camouflage. Suzuki made a mistake once. I wanted to. The long rally ended in vain, so it was worth it.

However, mistakes are made only once and twice at most.

Paan!

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

It was like I was rewinding a rally just before. Suzuki's endless exchange of toys closed the door. It was not enough to hit the ball with the frame part of the racket, so it even did the swing.

Around that time, the commentators who were watching with questions felt something. They realized that Han Woojin's strange play was based on a solid basis. Suzuki, who had hardened the defenses like an iron wall in one set, could not have repeated such a mistake.

What is it? Suzuki player, obviously, is missing the ball in range, doubting the perfect defensive capability that I showed you in set one.

So did I just now. I came in a little bit, but it was a pretty good ball. And then I swung the racket into thin air.

It looks like the Hanwoojin did some kind of magic. Otherwise the Suzuki player can't collapse suddenly like this. I wonder how they reversed the flow.

The screen does not answer. Within it, Han Woo-jin repeated the same rally several times. Replacement of the forehand and the backhand, which go deep into the person's body. I just change direction and push it in close, and Suzuki can't even put his hands and feet out.

I had to keep going back.

That long arm is poisoned. The ball, which was digging inward, continued to aim for the inner angle of the elbow, that is, the hard-to-hit angle. Once or twice, I was able to take it without problems. But five times, ten times, the story was different. Forbidden

There was no perfect way to get it by bending over. Suzuki was walking down the ridge smoothly, as the tree on the axe continued to pass.

“Han Test Game! ”

The tighter the elastic band, the harder it bounces off the moment it breaks. Suzuki lost one game without redeeming even one point. He suddenly stared at the Korean fighter across the street, shaken by the sudden crumbling balance.

‘The young man is creeped out once. ’

Among the expressionless faces, two eyes that were not frozen rolled in horror.

Looking at Han Woojin's frostbitten eyes, Suzuki throws the ball over to him. I felt like I was added to the tilted scale.

* * *

“Good work. Are you hurt anywhere? ”

Whether Shin Se-yeon took the towel, Han Woo-jin swooped down his sweaty neck. It made me realize how much sweat the towel looked like in dark color.

In the first round, Suzuki was forced to play a long game. It wasn't that great to find a weakness. The rally grows while opening the gap. That's why he came back sweaty.

“I'm a little tired. I can't afford it either, because the stage is different. ”

It sounded pretty weak for Hanwoojin. It was a different look than usual that did not reveal his planting. Shin Se-yeon asked with a curious face. It was clearly a classic set, but it was because he was the dominant one from the second set.

“It was a little hard at first, but then it wasn't okay? Two sets is 62, right? ”

“The content is more important than the score. I got an average of eight hits per point. If you win like this, it will cost too much. ”

Someone could have said, "Isn't winning enough?" I could have told him to be satisfied with his victory on the overpowering stage of ATP500. However, Han Woo-jin did not. You look back at your shortcomings to win the next turn.

Perhaps this absurd integrity led him here. Shin Se-yeon was even slightly moved by Han Woo-jin's eyes. Even after winning, the look of not relieved was actually worthy of a professional's attention.

Soon after a strange atmosphere was about to flow, Han Woo-jin looked back at her with a voice. It seemed to remind me of something I had forgotten.

“Se-yeon, what happened to the others? ”

“You mean Choi Hyun-hyuk and Kim Hyung-hyung? ”

Shin Se-yeon smiled without immediately answering. A slight mischievous smile that seems to burn the opponent. It wasn't until Han Woo-jin's impatient gaze rushed her several times that she opened her mouth.

“I don't know if there's ever been three Korean players in the 16 ATP500. ”

“That means...”

“Everyone wins! That's why I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I'm sure you'll join forces in front of Mr. Woojin. ”

Han Woo-jin sighed for relief. He interfered in many ways. Kim Hyeong prepared for the whole year. If he had fallen from the first round, his mind might have become a little heavy.

“Let's go back and talk about the rest. ”

You can go to your place and listen to the details. Hanwoojin peels off the soles of his feet, which feel a little heavy.

This fatigue was proof that he had won. ATP500, a trail of footsteps from a competition you could never have imagined before.

Han Woo-jin wins by one sixty-four and 62.

Choi Yeon-hyeok wins by 1 turn 63 and 62.

And Kim Hyeong, 1 round wins as 75, 46, 64.
