God of Tennis

“Set won by Ujin Han, 64! ”

Barbringa eventually bites her way off the cliff where she stood. At the end of the set, the two athletes take their feet off their coats. We don't need to mention which step is heavier.

‘The wedge is stuck. ’

Hanwoojin thought of Barbringa's face as he wiped off the sweat that was wet on his forehead. The devastating, devastated face was telling of the loss of determination, if not all. I've been lacking in skills.

He was struggling depending on his attitude and mental strength. Lost determination will lead to a decline in performance.

In fact, with a set just before, it was fine for both athletes to understand the end of the match. There were seven staircase differences in ranking points, but they were never that good of each other as they exchanged balls on their coats. Calculatively Scheduled

There was nothing strange about declaring a withdrawal here for any of the tuners.

But...

‘I don't think he's going to give up. ’

A 10 minute break between sets. At a distance from the horse, Barbringa was loosening her muscles by rubbing her forearms or hammering her thighs. Everywhere I look, I don't see myself as a quitter. Last

I felt the willingness to stand in my coat until Han Woo-jin.

As a matter of fact, this Valencia Open was not just an option for Barbrica to collect points. I met a man named Han Woo-jin to get him to take off his feet. Winning or losing is important.

It wasn't, but my priorities were different. If ATP250 wins, we have every chance not to be here.

“... a little better. ”

The emptiness of the determination that had been eroded by the loss of one set was fulfilled for some reason. Barbringa was realizing the change that had happened to her as she clenched her fists several times.

After the start of the match, he was stronger than he was in the eight games. Growth stopped more than two years ago. Hanwoojin, I broke the skin that was stiffened by his stiffness.

It wasn't that big of a change, but it was just as big.

Believing in my talents, I came out into the world and made friends that I could not overcome in my lifetime. A wall called the Emperor that had always been in sight suppressed him. It made me feel meaningless to try.

But what about him?

‘Mr. Han never bothered me in the first place. ’

Han Woo-jin was not looking at a player named Barbringa. He was staring at the shadow of an emperor's name lying on his tennis table. And the emotion that seeped into his gaze was clear curiosity and determination. Barbering, among other things.

The ‘heat’ that agitated the car was rising there.

There are plenty of players aiming for Roger. If you look around the world, a thousand units would be ridiculous.

But most of them were merely strikes from beyond the TV, going through books or newspaper articles, or from an opaque appetite for peaks. He who truly passed over the emperor's position had been dry for a long time. Because once with Roger,

It was because he who faced him could realize it.

Oh, I can't do this! Speak up.

A talented young man, Barbringa, understood it faster than anyone else. So I imitated it. You learned Roger's one-handed backhand and placed him at the top of the ranking leaning against his talents. Need to climb the peak

There is no such thing as a moderately high climb, because no one has ever called that name low.

Then a man appeared who said that.

No, there was a talking man standing in front of me. The man climbs up to the altitude after being beaten so badly, he embarrasses him. It seemed like he was satisfied with maintaining the phenomenon.

“... How long has this been going on? ”

When I was a pro, I dreamed I'd be the best in the world. Now, he looks back and sees why he is stopping at the position of being the best friend in the world. Something thumps up.

I didn't know what it was like to pour cold water down my throat a few times.

“Set 2! Player Ready!”

Which new 10 minutes passed.

Babrinka, who stood up to the judgment call, looked at Hanwoojin's back, one step ahead of him. His back, which only looks forward, is getting further and further away from him, standing in its place. And now you're gonna be me.

It's time to go.

Jubbuck.

First, I decided to take a step above my coat.

Unlike one set that had been going on and on all eight games, two sets were thoroughly drawn to Hanwoojin's dominance. I didn't even need to use special skills. Skill difference is obvious if not too much to induce backhand. Change your position appropriately.

As I went, Han Woo-jin's victory was almost certain.

One unexpected thing was that Barbrinca's style began to suddenly change.

“… hasn't Barbringer's movements changed a bit? ”

Shin Se-yeon was also the owner of the eye to notice the change. She looks back at Sang-pil Kim next door and speaks out. Just like Han Woo-jin's tactics, Kim Sang-pil's analysis of career and competence is worth a consult.

I was angry.

“Not quite, it's changed a lot. I've been a stylish athlete for a few years now... but I found it interesting. ”

Standard play with a one-handed backhand focus. It was a style that was insufficient to beat a certain level, but harder to hope for more. The highest authority should not be merely excellence. Reach a level beyond common sense

Only a few players put their name to that position.

And Barbringa had no power beyond that common sense.

Paan!

A backhand slice cut off by Hanwoojin, Barbringa responded to Bali spontaneously. If I had waited, I would have run to the ball that would have come within the range of the backhand. So far, he has not made a good choice.

Pa-ang!

“Fifteen All (15: 15)! ”

The reckless choice is priceless. Seeing the ball bounce away from Hanwoojin's side, Sang-pil Kim laughed joyfully.

‘After a little more time to see if that change is going to work, at least now it looks good. ’

Barbringa hangs at the edge of his gaze. He grinned as if he were a child, gripping two fists at the point he won. Evidence that you are seriously immersed in the game. Leaving the game, that's the line.

Sue's side was a peculiar mark of Kim Sang-pil who gave her life to the sport. He looks down at his coat with a smile on his face.

However, unlike him, Shin Se-yeon, who was strictly Han Woo-jin's side, had to hate his face. She urges an answer with a slightly agitated face due to anxiety.

“So, is Mr. Woojin disadvantaged? Woojin is still leading the score...”

“Well, you don't have to worry. ”

“Why is that? ”

Kim Sang-pil inadvertently smiled. It was because I was happy to see Shin Se-yeon who was as hard as a gypsum statue. Perhaps Han Woo-jin met a good agent. People who are only officially in contact with the office eventually become difficult.

It was easy to change attitudes. He decided to give her back the answer she asked for.

“Skill differences don't fill up that much. Now a Barbrincan can be confusing because he changed his style, but he will soon recover. We'll have no choice but to push back. ”

“Is it a beef jerky? ”

“Well, it's a different story... but I can't say I'm wrong. ”

It wasn't exactly a carving tactic, but it turned out to be a similar story. Style is as difficult to change as time has been maintained. Barbringa's attempts were good, but the results could not come out right now. First girl.

I had to be satisfied enough to take a note.

And his analysis matched exactly as he had seen the future. After changing styles, Barbrinca managed to play both games, but lost to a score of 62 in the previous two games.

I'm done.

The 8th showdown of the Valencia Open and the first match was closed with a score of 64/62.

“Game Set! 64, 62! ”

Match time 2 hours 14 minutes. Considering you've dealt with a Barbrincan-class athlete, it's a decent level. Hanwoojin relaxes from the grasp of the racket and looks over to the other side of the bar. In that view, although it was subtle, it was clear

I was embarrassed.

‘Two-sets was more annoying than one. Was Barbrinca really this good? ’

If it had been analyzed before getting on the court, it would have been just the ‘top ranker can be, but not the top' level.

But two sets of Barbrinca were different. His style was so rough that he could stab him in the face, but he struck an unexpected blow one time outside of his own expectations. If you had played like this from the start, you wouldn't have lost.

It might have attracted up to three sets of matches.

Thinking later, she pushes the thread of tangled thought into a corner, and Hanwoojin approaches the net and reaches for Barbrinca. To give the opponent a proper compliment for a good match.

So I was even more embarrassed.

“Thank you. Mr. Han."

“It was a good game, okay? ”

Gratitude? I don't mean to be indelicate, but the context was a little off. What are you thanking me for? As the horse stops speaking in the English language of Barbrica, he rides on the flow and gives you a few more words.

“You must have seen Roger Pedro from me. Not Stanislas Barbringa. ”

“That,"

“" I don't blame you. I just wasn't enough. ”

When Han Woo-jin couldn't deny it, he shakes his head with a bitter smile. A little self-help is embedded in that smile.

But even for a moment, Barbringa straightened her face and thanked him again. This time, I'm sure it adds up to that.

“I was reminded by Mr. Han. What I used to think of as a professional. ”

“ ……. ”

“I wish you could show me next time. ”

That's as far as the conversation goes. As soon as Barbrinca finishes her greeting, she leaves. Looking back at his head, Han Woo-jin was busy holding his head in an unprecedented shock.

Until now, he thought he had lived by stealing from someone. As you pushed Kim out of the way before, you are now standing in the place of Choi Yeon-hyeok. It was only a few months ago that I decided to put my guilt behind me and move on.

Always.

Barbringa thanked you for your help in recovering her beginner's mind and your strength to move forward.

Han Woo-jin stood there for a moment. I felt like something that was pressing down on the corner of my chest was fading away. The loss was quite large... but it was never a bad feeling.

* * *

After that, it was a fast pact. When one angle collapses in the Tripartite, there are two left. Except for Hanwoojin and Nicholas, the rest was like a bridesmaid decorating the finals, and none of them were left to mourn. It was also inevitable that the game would end with a perfect or comparable score.

Half the names of the players disappeared after every day.

Only Hanwoojin and Nicholas' name climb up the ladder without being shaken.

Eight to the semi-finals, one to the semi-finals.

Two days have passed since the war with Barbrica, and the morning of the final has finally dawned.

End
