Chapter 143
The two sides had a great time.
As the doubles match ended, the cheers of the surrounding audience became more excited. In this match, Niou and Fuji brought a different experience to the audience, especially the exchange of identities at the beginning of the match.
The Griffey brothers walked back to Richard's coaching seat with their heads down. Seeing them like this, many American girls were distressed and tried their best to comfort them.
Originally, the two brothers thought they would be greeted with Richard's angry reprimand, but they didn't expect that Richard didn't get angry with them. Instead, he made an encouraging gesture and patted the two brothers on the shoulders, indicating that they should go to rest first.
This is Richard's coaching philosophy. As long as the players can get the attention of fans, it doesn't matter if they lose the game. For him, tennis is just a tool for him to make money.
Richard's behavior really aroused great favor among the American girls in the audience, and they all praised Richard. It must be said that Richard was professional in grasping the mentality of fans.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the world of Prince of Tennis, Richard would have become a giant in the entertainment industry long ago, but now, he is destined to end in tragedy.
Slowly, the cheers of the audience subsided, and the host immediately came on stage to introduce the players of the singles three competition. The first one to be introduced was Akatsu Jin of the Kanto team.
Akatsu Jin put his hands in his pockets and walked out casually with a tennis racket. His arrogant attitude and his appearance that looked like a bad boy made the audience wonder whether they should cheer for him for a while.
However, soon, led by the rhythm of the Fudomine members, everyone still gave warm cheers. In this kind of competition, singles three players generally play the role of a stabilizing force.
The host was a little embarrassed to see Akatsu Jin's attitude, but his professional qualities made him react quickly and directly introduced the players of the US West Coast team.
Suddenly, a strong and tall figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the American team's player channel, and then a big guy who looked a bit like the Raikage walked out waving four rackets in a demonstration.
Some American spectators immediately shouted. Unlike Asian aesthetics, Americans always like to regard guys who look like gorillas as representatives of macho men.
This person is the confidence that Richard can guarantee the victory of the singles three. He is the former rugby player-Bobby Max. Because he could not control his temper, he was expelled from the team. Later, he met Richard and started his tennis career.
Bobby Max
Because of his height of more than 2 meters and his big and strong figure, he was given the title of beast bulldozer. From the appearance, it can be seen that he is a power player.
Akutsu looked at the other party's behavior of constantly showing his muscles and said "huh" with disdain. Akutsu is very experienced in dealing with power players. After all, he was taught a lesson by the ghost several times in the first grade.
"The singles match will start next. Kanto representative Jin Akutsu will play against American West Coast representative Bobby Max. Please enter the court!"
The audience watched the two guys with extremely arrogant postures walk into the court together. Before and after coming to the net, Akutsu had no good feelings for the gorilla in front of him, and of course he didn't care about the handshake.
Bobby looked down at the Japanese man in front of him. Although Akutsu was tall and slender, he was still much shorter than Bobby. Bobby sneered and said in English:
"Hey! Little guy! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
When Akutsu heard this, his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he didn't go crazy directly. Now Akutsu has matured a lot, especially after contacting Xiao Jin. Akutsu ignored Bobby's words and turned to look at the referee.
When the referee saw Akutsu's eyes, he was also shocked and immediately announced the start of guessing first. In the end, Akutsu won the first right of the game.
Seeing that Akutsu had no reaction, Bobby shrugged his shoulders in boredom, carrying his racket and coming to the backcourt with an arrogant look on his face. But what he didn't know was that the next game would be the nightmare of his life!
Arrogant Bobby Max
"The game ends! The Kanto team will serve first!"
Akutsu stood on the baseline, looking at Bobby who was still arrogant on the opposite side, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and a red and black aura suddenly rose from his body. He blinked and
In an instant, it covered his whole body.
"Wild!"
After turning on the wild state, Akutsu threw the tennis ball in his hand high up, and then swung the racket suddenly. His own powerful explosive force deformed the moment the tennis ball touched the racket.
The tennis ball flew across the net like a sharp arrow and hit the backcourt of the opposite side. Because the speed was too fast, Bobby had no reaction at all, and he still stood there stupidly and sneered.
The next moment, Bobby suddenly felt a pain in his ears, and then he heard the sound of the tennis ball landing and the sound of the referee announcing the score.
"ACE! 15-0!"
Bobby subconsciously touched his ear, and then found a trace of blood on his hand. It turned out that Akutsu's serve just now bounced directly to Bobby's head after landing, but it was still a little off in the end, just brushing his ear.
However, looking at the cruel expression on Akutsu's face at this time, it was obvious that it was not a mistake just now, but he did it on purpose. If he knocked the opponent down directly, the game would end immediately. How could he torture the opponent at that time?
After realizing that he was injured, Bobby yelled and came to the net, shaking the net constantly, and yelled at the referee:
"That ball just now doesn't count! How could I lose points!"
The referee signaled Bobby to go back many times, but it was unknown whether Bobby could not understand the Japanese language or pretended to be stupid, and was still angry there. Finally, the referee had no choice but to speak directly in English:
"Go back to your position immediately, otherwise I will directly sentence you to lose this game!"
After hearing the referee's words, Bobby could only walk back to the backcourt unwillingly, but before turning around, he glared at Akutsu fiercely, as if saying: You wait for me!
"Just now, Akutsu used your chasing ball, right?" Tachibana Kihei said to the Kurasaki next to him in the VIP seat.
Tibetan Rabbit nodded without saying anything. He had already seen that Akutsu was using his skills to torture his opponent, letting the tennis ball rub against the ground and rotate, like a rotating gear, and then jump up to give the opponent a fierce blow.
However, Tibetan Rabbit rarely used this trick after mastering the baptism of the vortex. He didn't expect Akutsu to learn it, but thinking of the opponent's terrifying learning ability, Tibetan Rabbit didn't find it strange.
Akutsu calmly looked at Bobby who was furious on the opposite side. Seeing that the opponent returned to the backcourt unwillingly, he directly threw the tennis ball again, and then swung the racket to hit it out as before.
This time Bobby focused his attention, but unfortunately he still couldn't see the trajectory of the tennis ball clearly, but he felt pain in his thigh again, and it was obvious that he was hit by the tennis ball again.
"ACE! 30-0!"
This made Bobby extremely angry. He immediately roared and rushed forward to teach the Asian boy on the opposite side a lesson, but was stopped in time by Richard on the sidelines. He would not let Bobby mess around in such an occasion.
Akutsu ignored this and started to serve on his own. Now Akutsu's skills are no longer the same as when he was in the first grade. If he had just joined Fudomine, he would not be able to play such a delicate tennis.
Bobby was unable to cope with Akutsu's high-speed serve. He couldn't even see the tennis ball clearly. How to fight back? He could only be hit by the tennis ball and then get angry.
"ACE! 40-0!"
"GAME! Akutsu Jin! 1-0!"
In the first game, Akutsu's four serves left four wounds on Bobby, especially on the ears, which were particularly obvious, because the ears were much more fragile than other parts, and now a small amount of blood had flowed out.
However, Bobby didn't care much about such injuries. When playing rugby, he would get a little injured in every game. He was used to it. The main reason for his anger was that he couldn't return the opponent's serve.
In Bobby's view, a little Japanese man was not his opponent at all. He only needed a few powerful shots to make the opponent kneel down and beg for mercy, but reality gave him a loud slap in the face. He couldn't even return the opponent's serve.
The second game was Bobby's serve, which made Bobby's face excited. He could finally ravage the boy on the opposite side. He wanted to double the humiliation just now.
Thinking of this, Bobby threw the tennis ball in his hand high up, and then used all his strength to hit the tennis ball hard at Akutsu on the opposite side.
Akutsu looked at the flying tennis ball with disdain, and flashed to the landing point. With a backhand, the tennis ball turned into a stream of light and passed through the net, instantly hitting Bobby's abdomen.
Fortunately, Bobby was thick-skinned and just instinctively covered his stomach with his left hand.
It didn't seem to be a big problem, but the tennis ball had already fallen to the ground.
"0-15!"
"Damn yellow monkey! I'm going to kill you!" Bobby was about to go crazy at this moment, but under the warning of the referee and Richard, he still walked back to the baseline in frustration.
Richard had already cursed Bobby in his heart, this is Neon, he dared to say something like yellow monkey, isn't this a naked humiliation, fortunately Bobby just spoke in English, and because he was too angry, his articulation was a little unclear, but he could still make it up.
The audience may not have heard it clearly, but Akutsu on the opposite side heard it clearly, but there was no angry expression on his face, just looking at Bobby with a dead look.
Bobby threw the tennis ball up again and swung the racket hard. The tennis ball flew straight towards Akutsu's body with strong kinetic energy. Obviously, Bobby had begun to ignore the game. He just wanted to completely defeat the guy on the opposite side.
But Akutsu turned sideways, and the tennis ball passed by him and flew out of the court. Akutsu didn't even have the interest to look back.
"OUT! Serve error!"
Bobby's second serve was still aimed at Akutsu, but the result was still easily avoided by Akutsu, and the tennis ball flew out of the court.
"OUT! Double serve error! 0-30!"
Bobby walked to the referee's seat angrily and shouted at the referee:
"Shit! Are you blind!"
Just when the referee couldn't help but get angry, Richard on the sidelines had already spoken first.
"Go back! Bobby! Do you want to be abandoned again!"
Richard's words made Bobby's body stiffen, and then his brain calmed down a little, and he could only swing the racket to the baseline as if to vent, and Richard also hurried to apologize to the referee.
The referee thought that this was an exhibition match, so he didn't say anything more, but he still warned that if this happened again, the Kanto team would be declared the winner.
Richard could only smile and nod in agreement, but he had already scolded Bobby and the referee in his heart. And now it seems that Bobby is also a waste. If he loses this game again, he will have to find an excuse to fool those sponsors and run away with his people after the game.
Bobby sent the tennis ball again on the baseline. This time he didn't deliberately attack Akutsu's body, but this doesn't mean that Akutsu won't attack him.
Akutsu came directly to the landing point, then aimed at Bobby's knee, and hit it with a forehand. The tennis ball flew over the net in an instant and hit Bobby's right knee hard, making him kneel on the ground unconsciously.
"0-40!"
At this time, Richard raised an objection to the referee. He thought that Akutsu was deliberately attacking his player, but the referee would not tolerate him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Bobby who provoked Akutsu first, and he deserved to be beaten, so he directly signaled Richard to retreat.
Richard could only return to the coaching seat unwillingly. He did not expect that Bobby had always been the one to hurt others, but today he was attacked by his opponent and could not find any reason to refute. It was really uncomfortable.
After a short period of relief, Bobby stood up. With his physique, he could still barely withstand such an attack, but the blow to his self-esteem was much greater than that to his body.
However, the game was not over yet. At the urging of the referee, Bobby could only hit the tennis ball again, and Akutsu had no intention of holding back. This ball directly hit Bobby's right hand and knocked his racket to the ground.
"GAME! Jin Akutsu! 2-0!"
Bobby covered his right wrist and looked at Akutsu on the opposite side with a gloomy face. The only remaining rationality in his brain was constantly being devoured by anger. Fortunately, Richard's warning just now allowed him to maintain the last bit of rationality.
In the third game, it was Akutsu's turn to serve again. Akutsu, standing on the baseline, saw Bobby so tough and showed a hint of excitement at the corner of his mouth.
Akutsu did not hesitate, directly threw the tennis ball high up, and then swung the racket to hit it instantly, but this time the speed of the tennis ball was much slower, allowing Bobby on the opposite side to barely see the ball path.
Bobby immediately ran towards the landing point. Although he was huge, his speed was not as slow as imagined. When the tennis ball was about to bounce out of the court, he just caught up with the tennis ball and hit it back with a strong swing.
However, no matter how strong Bobby was, it had no effect on Akutsu. Akutsu rushed to the net in a weird posture, and then made a move to
The posture of hitting a diagonal ball immediately shifted Bobby's attention to the right side.
However, the next moment, Akutsu hit a branch ball directly, and the tennis ball flew straight towards Bobby, and hit his lower abdomen again before he could react. The huge force made Bobby step back several steps, and the racket fell to the ground.
"15-0!"
Bobby covered his stomach with both hands and slowly knelt on the ground. He felt that his whole stomach was churning, and even a hint of sweetness came from his throat.
This made Bobby completely lose the last bit of reason. After the pain in his abdomen was slightly relieved, Bobby frantically grabbed the racket beside him and threw it directly at Akutsu, cursing loudly.
Akutsu easily dodged Bobby's racket by turning his head, and then before the referee spoke, he took out a tennis ball and threw it up. The wild aura on his body suddenly surged, and then his right hand suddenly exerted force and hit the tennis ball hard.
The tennis ball hit the ground at a speed far faster than Bobby could react, and then bounced back and hit his forehead, causing Bobby's eyes to go black and he slowly fell down, while the tennis ball bounced back into the air.
The next moment, Akutsu instantly appeared in front of the net, jumped high, and hit the tennis ball again with great force. The tennis ball hit Bobby's right shoulder again with super kinetic energy, and Bobby's right shoulder immediately made a crisp snapping sound, and screams followed.
But this was not over yet, the tennis ball still bounced back into the air, Akutsu had no intention of letting him go, and hit it with all his strength again, this time hitting Bobby's left hand, and then it was obvious that Bobby's left hand was unnaturally bent.
The continuous heavy blows on both sides made Bobby's screams louder, but Akutsu's attack continued. Now Akutsu's skills can support him to make the tennis ball bounce back to him continuously.
Even if there were occasional small mistakes, Akutsu could use his wild instinct to react in time to make up for it. In this way, in front of a large number of spectators, Akutsu began his ruthless and cruel crazy attack.
Even the referee did not dare to stop him easily at this time. He knew very well what kind of player Akutsu was. Coincidentally, it was this referee who judged the game in which Akutsu hit the light shot against Wakato Hiroshi in his first year.
So Bobby had been mentally prepared for what he was going through now. In addition, Akutsu was a player in the team of Master Akashi. Pretending not to react at this time was the best way to deal with it.
And in Akutsu's crazy attack, Bobby's screams became smaller and smaller, and finally they could not be heard at all. Akutsu was also very happy at this time, and his anger was also reduced. He smashed directly, and the tennis ball hit Bobby's side and bounced out of the court.
"30-0! The game is suspended!"
The referee pretended to react at this time and announced the suspension of the game. The medical staff who had been preparing on the sidelines rushed into the court and checked Bobby's injuries.
Richard was dumbfounded now. He looked at Akutsu with horror, and then anxiously asked the medical staff about Bobby's injuries. He was not worried about Bobby, but felt that if Bobby was disabled, he would also lose a lot.
Finally, after the preliminary diagnosis of the medical staff, although Bobby had multiple injuries and his right shoulder and left hand were fractured, he was fortunately not in danger of life. As for whether he could play tennis in the future, it depends on how Bobby recovers.
"Since Bobby cannot continue the game, this game ends here! The score is 2-0! The winner is Akutsu Jin!"
