Chapter 433: Expert 1 Reaching Out
"Let's flip a coin. Heads: Yukinoshita Hikigaya will serve first and Higashihama Hiratsuka will choose the court. Tails: Higashihama Hiratsuka will serve first and Yukinoshita Hikigaya will choose the court. Do you have any questions?"
Five minutes before the start of the game, Atsugi, who was temporarily decided to act as the referee of the final, asked Totsuka Ayaka to go to the side to study carefully and pulled the contestants aside to prepare for the coin toss.
"no problem."
"no problem."
Although I don't know why Hikigaya and the others are on the front side, and Yui and I have to be on the tail side, but at this time, Hiratsuka Tsuga can't choose to let the coin stand upright in the middle. It's just pure luck.
"Front, so Yukinoshita Hikigaya team will serve first, please decide who will serve first. Yuigahama Hiratsuka team, please choose the venue."
I have to say that Mr. Atsugi has a great hand. He threw the coin and gave Hiratsuka Tsubasa a good opportunity.
"I'll serve in the first game."
At this time, Yukinoshita did not refuse and explained directly to Mr. Atsugi.
“I choose the venue on the west side.”
The choice of venue was exactly what Hiratsuka Yu wanted. It was one o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining in the west, so the tennis court on the east side would be affected by the oblique sunlight, which would have a great impact on the strength of the players on the east side. Moreover, Yukinoshita and Hikigaya had no intention of wearing tennis hats, so they couldn't blame the other side for not following the rules of martial arts.
"Okay, the game will officially start in five minutes."
Teacher Atsugi nodded and returned to the referee's seat, and arranged for several members of the tennis club to pick up the balls for the players.
"I didn't expect that Xiaoxue and Xiaoqi would actually make it to the finals. We won't show any mercy!"
During the handshake phase, Yui and Yukinoshita shook hands and then started to talk tough~
The relationship is good at ordinary times, but it is impossible to show mercy in the competition. This is not only disrespectful to friends but also to yourself...
Of course, we have to analyze each case individually. There is really no way to deal with Totsuka Ayaka's situation. If he were to play against Totsuka in private, Hiratsuka Yu would definitely beat him 6-0, but there are so many members of the tennis club watching...
The president of the tennis club was beaten 6-0 by the chairman of the basketball club with a tennis ball. Does Totsuka Ayaka still have a chance to stay in the club after this?
And there is also a student council president! This is a matter of social etiquette...
"Don't worry, I will show mercy!
"Faced with Yui's harsh words, Yukinoshita was not to be outdone. The two of them exchanged glances briefly, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in their eyes...
Of course, Hiratsuka Hane and Hikigaya are not in a good situation now.
"When I was warming up just now, I took a look at the weather forecast for Chiba in recent years. There will be no wind in Chiba in the afternoon. Your magic ball is useless. Why don't you surrender as soon as possible? If you surrender, you lose half. Then I can order two fewer dishes for dinner~"
Hiratsuka Tsukasa's smile right now is as annoying as it can be.
"To deal with a guy like you, I don't even need to borrow the wind. The most basic slice is enough. But I will order a lot of food tonight. I will definitely not save money for you!" Hikigaya said unwillingly.
There seemed to be fire in the eyes of both of them.
"The final of the mixed doubles tennis match will begin now. The Yukinoshita and Hikigaya duo will face the Yuigahama and Hiratsuka duo. Yukinoshita is serving."
After returning to the rest seat beside the court and drinking some water, he quickly put on his tennis cap. After Yui and I decided on a tactic of attacking hard and then taking more shots to consume Yukinoshita's energy, the game officially began.
Considering Yukinoshita's amazing fighting ability, Hiratsuka Hane finally received Yukinoshita's serve...
Soon the first game started. Yukinoshita was not a cover after all. She hit a jump serve towards Hiratsuka Tsubasa. The speed of the ball was definitely over 150...
After seeing the ball clearly, Hiratsuka Yu didn't panic. He picked up the racket and hit it back. However, after hitting it back, he found that Yukinoshita's serve was really strong, and the quality of the ball was not high...
Hikigaya, who was in the counterattacking position, raised the tennis racket behind him and hit the ball towards Yui with a powerful hit. Yui, who had already received the ball, did not expect the ball to have such a strong force and it bounced out directly.
"Fifteen to zero!"
"My problem is that Hikigaya's return was too comfortable. Yui, don't worry about this kind of fast return. I will hit it back from behind. Be ready for a smash at any time."
I didn't expect that I underestimated Hikigaya. Because of the difference in strength between boys and girls, it was really difficult for Yui to hit the ball back. Hiratsuka Hane decisively decided to change the formation.
"Got it, Xiaoyu!"
Yui nodded, returned to the front court of her own half and stood there, waiting for Yukinoshita's serve.
This time, Hiratsuka Hane's return was of very high quality. After receiving the ball, Hikigaya hit a break ball. Yui seized the opportunity and lightly cut the racket and hit a short ball. Yukinoshita, who had already prepared for the smash, did not expect Yui to change her tactics. It was too late now, fifteen to fifteen.
Yukinoshita didn't panic. She hit the ball twice and then threw it high up. After jumping up, she served another threatening ball towards Hiratsuka Yu.
Facing such a fast serve, it is impossible to hit a high-quality return, so I had to return a lob, hoping that it would not be smashed...
However, there was really no way out. After seeing the lob, Yukinoshita lightly jumped up and smashed the ball hard. The ball hit the middle court between Yui and Hiratsuka Hana and headed straight for the blocking net...
Because when Hiratsuka Hane was practicing tennis with Totsuka Ayaka before, he did not compete with Yukinoshita on the same stage.
When Yukinoshita and Hayama Miura were fighting one against two, Hiratsuka Tsubasa's main focus was on the fallen Yui. I always thought that the reason why Yukinoshita had no pressure in fighting two against one was because Hayama was intentionally holding back, and some balls could have been caught~
For this reason, Hiratsuka Yu had imagined a lot of plots about Hayama and Yukinoshita having an affair and then abandoning each other and then wanting to atone for their sins. Now after fighting with Yukinoshita himself, Hiratsuka Yu realized that he had wronged Hayama before...
An expert can tell with one touch that such a terrifying technique could come from the hands of a girl who looks so fragile...
Hiratsuka Yu decided to apologize to Hayama and Miura after returning. It was really amazing that he could hold out against this monster for so long in the tiebreak...
But even though I apologized, I still had to fight with all my strength. Who made me bet with Yukinoshita for a moment?
Thinking of this, Hiratsuka Tsubasa decided to remove the small sandbag tied to his leg after the break...
Hiratsuka Yu was mentally prepared and deliberately retreated out of bounds. The longer the tennis ball flew, the more mentally prepared he was to return the ball, and he hit it hard towards Yukinoshita's left hand...
"Thirty to thirty!"
Even someone as strong as Xue Yi had a hard time returning the ball with her non-dominant hand, so she had no choice but to return a short lob, which Yui found an opportunity to smash back with force and score.
"Well done, Yui! Let's defeat them in one go!" Hiratsuka Yu and Yui clapped their hands lightly, preparing for the next goal.
