God of Tennis

As soon as Han Woo-jin's ultra-speed flat sub won the Service Ace, commentators were almost frantic. Together, they stood up and raised their voices.

Service Ace! It's going great from the start, Han Woojin! I can't even see the ball right now!

No, I haven't seen him in months. How does prison go up like this? Kim, is this even possible?

I was very surprised. What do you mean, "233 kilometers?" That's the global equivalent of 10 fingers of restraint. Angie Roddick, the world's fastest server, doesn't get more than 200 miles!

Moreover, Sydney International, which was held in January in South Korea, was not relayed properly. It was because all stations were paying attention to the Australian Open, where Yeonhyuk Choi was going. It was clear to anyone which priorities to prioritize with Grand Slam, ATP250 and others.

However, Sydney International was one of the contests where Han Woo-jin's growth was prominent.

The contest's rewards were not great, but the stats and skill experience gained by fighting against Radar led to a tremendous increase in performance. The timing of the acquisition of the new force, the 'hitter’ trait, coincided with that. Nearly two levels of Hanwoojin's ability bordering Sydney International

It was good enough that this was different.

However, Hanwoojin, who gathered everyone's attention to one body, was just looking at Nicholas' condition with a cold face.

‘It worked. As expected, when you encounter a speed corridor like this, your legs snap. ’

When a person encounters something that exceeds his response rate, he or she becomes stiff without even knowing it. There were many reasons why meticulously trained baseball players were unable to make a single correct hit on a ball such as a 100-mile high speed ball.

Tennis was no exception. Tension is a polishing agent that sharply softens the senses if used well, but it was a hardener that strengthens the limbs if you cross the path. Nicholas is hardened by a high-speed sub he never thought he would be.

It was foolish to pass up an opportunity like this. Han Woo-jin immediately threw up the second sub. The user reaches its full potential before the target is released.

Pa-ang!

This time, I beat him up without using 'The Batsman’. The striker clearly guarantees a strong offensive power, but the stiffness of the immediate aftermath is quite disturbing. If you were a Nicholas level player, you could only do it a few times in a row. It was wiser to confront him by switching terms with restraints.

Paan!

Even though he was stiff, the 48th place in the world ranking was not empty. Nicholas picks up a sub at a short interval, even though he reacted late to half a beat. It was also due to a slight drop in restraints, but it was truly an unusual reaction rate.

‘One sub won't do. Then let's shake it. ’

However, it is well within the expected range. Hanwoojin follows Nicholas's return shot like a shadow without embarrassment. The speed of the ball that was hurried was not so fast, and the sphincter was not so simple either. Han Woo-jin rotated his whole body violently, fearful of catching up to the ball.

Pa-ang!

One-handed backhand. Drops the ball farther and farther away from Nicholas, near the sideline. Power is reduced compared to the Forhand, but at an angle that cannot be used unless it is in the Backhand.

“Hehe!”

Nicholas hurries to the other side, but this time he has to be a step behind. because in the late 100 kilometers an hour, you couldn't outrun a ball over 200 kilometers an hour.

The ball eventually snaps a beat ahead of Nicholas. Roughly bending backhand drive.

Paan!

“Thirty Love (30: 0)! ”

Nicholas' eyebrows tremble with the voice of judgment. He was the strongest man in France, and he was a veteran who had been through all the labor and labor. It was not that hard to see what Han Woo-jin was after with the rally just now.

And the same was true of commentators who had watched tennis for 10 years or 20 years or more.

Hanwoojin, take 2 points in style! You're using fast restraints to get the best out of me!

From the left sideline to the right sideline, it's pretty vague to beat Nicholas like this. It's like taking control and starting a fight.

That's right, Nicholas is not a slow runner, but the ball is too fast. This is why it's so hard to keep up with the timing.

Fast becomes strong by itself. Hanwoojin teased Nicholas unilaterally, as if to prove it. He has more than 210 arrests without the use of a beater. If you really put your strength into it, there was something left inside your coat, flying the ball to the end of the auditorium.

Forty Love (40: 0)! ”

But that wasn't all. No matter how fast the ball is, it is not difficult to read and move. The reason Angie Roddick was pushed out on Roger was no different. I couldn't cross the walls of the top rankers with a physicist who wasn't accompanied by technique.

The real Han Woo-jin's target was somewhere else. It was the weakness of Claycoat's player, who I had come to realize through Radar.

It's hard to run on power, isn't it? It's gonna be different from Clay's. ’

It's not like Claycoat to get wet or rough. Hardcoats are less frictional even when they have thin deposits of dust. I didn't have to say any more about the sweat that flowed during the game and the dust or foreign matter that was being carried around by the shoes.

Even Hanwoojin, who was so tired of hardcoats, would sometimes slip, but there was no way Nicholas, a clay coat, could have perfected his footwork. I put a little effort into supporting the center of gravity, and even the timing that can be adjusted is a bit late.

It was abandoned.

Pa-ang!

The fast-flying ball hits the sideline again. Nicholas, who decided he was too late to pick it up, paused while the referee raised his voice and declared the winner of the first game.

“Han Test Game! Court Change!”

The Pokémon is the vanguard. It is the preliminary result of using its strengths and weaknesses appropriately. However, Hanwoojin rolled his feet in place to loosen his legs, rather than loosening his tension.

Who'd have thought that was a debut number two freshman?

Kim Hyeong, who was staring at the stadium at the commentator's position, was laughing nonsense.

‘I thought you'd improved quite a bit... but this is really more than I imagined. ’

There was nothing to point out after Roddick's high-speed sub, tactics for Claycourt players, and even the immense intensity of relaxation. It looked like the old man at the end of the Hundred War looked like he was rejuvenating.

Well, if you know the truth, you're not wrong.

One game was one-sided dominant, and I don't know about the other two. What do you think of Park's commentary?

Maybe they're not alone in this. Nicholas may have taken one good shot, but he's not as clumsy as he sounds. He's never been a quitter in the first place. I think we should wait and see.

Park is right. Hanwoojin's strategy is half-assed if he doesn't take the sub. If you're Nicholas, you're more likely to walk the net, which is your specialty. It was named after Bali in Claycourt.

The analysis of Kim who was the current top ranker was accurate. Nicholas Durin plans to battle as Bali against Hanwoojin's great tactics. While the power of a single blow may be diminished, power is not so important in netplay.

“Game 2 Love All (0: 0)! Play!”

Pa-ang!

Nicholas strikes the sub, fearful of dropping his starter signal. A spin and topspin that plummets to the ground as soon as it crosses the net.

‘Bounds are high, but not far... They're after Bali, too. ’

However, this time, another ability of Han Woojin saw the light.

Although he forgets it occasionally, he exerts enormous power on his own by being able to see the opponent's stat window.

An eye for a glimpse of which skills are outstanding and which skills are most proficient. It was very difficult to stab someone with such eyes.

Nicholas du Rang

Strength 62/HP 61/Agility 65

HP 2280/2440 SP 910/910

Forehand: 13/20

Backhand: 12/20

Sub-Level: 12/20

Bali Level: 17/20

Smash Level: 10/20

Dropshot Level: 14 of 20

Robe Level: 13/20

Special Skills:??

Bali is at its highest level, with little chance of concealing its primary weapon and running into adverse battles. Hanwoojin has perfected his tactics based on Sub's trajectory and Nicholas' status window. Maybe they'll pull the rally stage forward and bring it into netplay.

Who says you can do whatever you want? ’

Don't be drawn to their intentions, but do what they hate the most. It was a basic tactic used in any field.

Hanwoojin stepped forward two steps, as Nicholas intended. A spot that did not enter the service coat but was quite a distance from the base line. It was an area of netplay

However, it was really embarrassing to say the next response.

Pa-ang!

“What?! ”

Nicholas quickly raises his racket, not moving forward. It was because the ball that Han Woojin hit flew towards the center of his torso. Just hearing the sound of the wind slash makes me feel like I won't be able to beat you.

Tongue!

The ball hitting the edge of the racket rises roughly to the side, not the creased side. Without crossing the net, I had nothing to say about the decision.

“Love Fifteen (0: 15)! ”

What happens when you read the number of targets? Hanwoojin showed it thoroughly in his body.

After several more attempts at Bali without letting go, Nicholas regained his cool after losing two games in a row.

Of course, I wasn't the one who could win by doing that now.

Pa-ang!

“Han Test Game! 14! ”

The strategy was one-sided, with the exception of the one game that offered to take a look at netplay. It was not a matter of tactics or stereotype or territory. With that kind of difference, it could be dominant, but it could not be overwhelming. Hanwoojin plays the game

As I went through it, I gradually felt the reason.

‘… I am stronger. ’

He was one step ahead of physical ability, judgement, a combination of comprehensive skills, and even a shift in the center of gravity. At least on the hardcoat Nicholas wasn't Han Woojin's enemy.

Han Woo-jin who was being cautious raised his spirits because the situation was so unfamiliar that things were going so advantageously. If you see a clear victory, don't hesitate to push. However, for Hanwoojin, who had a strong ability to score, this flow was like having wings on the back of a tiger.

It didn't take long for Nicholas to lose one set in an instant.

Pa-ang!

Smash struck down like lightning, tying up a battle in seven games. The referee stood up, raised his left arm, and declared a set of terminations.

“Han Test Game! Set won by Ujin Han, 16! ”

Waaaahhhh!

Was it because Han Woo-jin's intense game content was impressive? The onboard crowd roars as hard as they can, succesfully completing a set. Hanwoojin leans his head briefly toward the audience on all sides, then takes a natural step towards his bench.

We're moving out.

Fluffy.

Since my hips touched and my weight was dispersed, I felt fatigue that I could not feel. It is said to be in the lead, but a strong man like Nicholas opposes it. As I used my senses and nerves sensitively, my mental fatigue was also no joke. The thirsty neck demands water later.

“Phew, it's a lot harder than I expected. ”

It was different from the Tokyo Open. There was no way that the contest was the same as the contest we went out to try and win. Even though it was several times stronger than then, the blood seemed to wither.

Hanwoojin turned his gaze toward Nicholas Durin, the man who had unnoticed him. It happened without a thought. So he had to be surprised. The opposing team was also watching him.

“Excellent craftsmanship, Mr. Han. I was amazed."

“F-thank you. ”

Nicholas has spoken some strange English somewhere. He looked at Han Woojin with an interesting look, then shrugged his shoulders once and said.

“I think I picked the wrong person to be frustrated. ”

“ Yes? Fragile?"

Han Woo-jin was genuinely curious. Did you do something to Nicholas without knowing it? No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind. But Nicholas chuckles lightly and shakes his head. He explained his situation with a somewhat joyful face.

“Mr. Han, did you beat Radar in Sydney? ”

“Well, I got lucky. ”

“Thanks to Radar started a riot in Argentina. I don't usually have an answer, but then I was like a mad cow. ”

“Ah…"

It made perfect sense. Han Woo-jin looked away, thinking of his young friend.

Radar was as honest with himself as he was young. Perhaps you've been boiling your resolve since you were defeated by the dark horse you never thought you'd find in Sydney. And that's what blew up at the Argentine Open.

The athletes who entered the tournament without thinking much about it would have been crushed by a crazy cow named Radar, who stormed out.

“Certainly you are strong, Mr. Han. Hard-coats don't feel like I'm going to win. ”

“That"

“However,"

No matter what you say, Hanwoojin interrupts Nicholas' resolute voice. He sharply glanced at the man who had overwhelmed him with the deep eyes of a French man. You proved that your unwavering determination never gave up the battle.

“This is not going to happen in Clay. ”

I could hear it in words that sounded like a victory or an excuse for defeat.

But Nicholas' determination was real, and so was his assurance that if he fought Claycourt, he would win.

Han Woo-jin had a hunch that he shouldn't avoid the answer here. So he confronted the sinking voice.

“However,"

His voice was lower than I expected, resembling the roar of a beast.

I looked at Nicholas' blue-eyed eyes as he blinked unknowingly, and Han Woo-jin insisted.

“ I will win today. ”
