Chapter 203 The Competition Has Just Begun

I didn't notice it when I was far away, and it wasn't until now that Takeshi Momoshiro discovered that Chen Anxia was holding a wooden tennis racket. She couldn't help flashing a look of surprise in her eyes, and at the same time her heart became more serious. "This kid, it's not easy~"

Similar to the game of Go, the game of tennis is also based on guessing who will serve first.

In general amateur games, one of them rotates the racket, and the other chooses the front and back of the racket logo. The person who rotates the racket automatically rotates the other side. The winner of the guess has the right to choose who will serve first. Serve first.

And it is the method of the game that the referee flips a coin and asks a player to guess heads and tails to decide. The winner of the guess has the right to choose who serves first.

Now that Chen Anxia is facing Taocheng Wu, Taocheng Wu turned the shot, Chen Anxia guessed tails, and the result of the turn was also tails, Chen Anxia chose to serve first without hesitation.

The referee for this game was Satoshi Horio, who claimed to have two years of tennis experience, and everyone else retreated to the sidelines, preparing to watch this match.

At the same time, a few more people came outside the tennis court, two of them were the editors and reporters of the tennis monthly magazine, Inoue and Shiba Saori, supporting characters who often appear in anime.

The other two are naturally Ryuzaki Sakurano and Kosakata Tomika who lead the way for Inoue and Shisaori.

"Oh, I'm so lucky, I didn't expect there to be a match~" Editor-in-Chief Inoue said in surprise when he saw the two people planning to compete on the tennis court after arriving at the tennis court.

The reason why Tennis Monthly came to Qingxue this time was to collect information about student tennis, and planned to open a column about student tennis.

Originally, the editor-in-chief Inoue was a little disappointed when he learned from coach Ryuzaki that the main players were not there. Now this scene can be regarded as a surprise, which is better than not collecting any material.

"Ah, Senior Inoue, look at that young man, he's not the one who made a fuss some time ago~" Zhi Saori seemed to have noticed something at this moment, and couldn't help but exclaimed when she looked at Chen Anxia.

Only then did Inoue take a closer look at Chen Anxia's face, and couldn't help showing a shocked expression on his face, "Chen Anxia, ​​the number one chess god in history, why did he come here to play tennis?"

As media people, even if it wasn't their own news, Inoue and Shiba Saori would of course still know about Chen Anxia's existence. There was no way, the birth of the first chess god had too much influence.

"Ah, it's my lord prince~" Kosakata Tomoka also noticed the existence of Chen Anxia, ​​and couldn't help becoming a little nympho.

Ryuzaki Sakura also saw Chen Anxia, ​​and couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face, but soon, Ryuzaki Sakura found Echizen Ryoma who was watching the game, and couldn't help but whispered "Echizen Ryoma, Why is he here~"

"Echizen Ryoma? Who is it?" Tomoka Kosakata couldn't help asking curiously when she heard the words, and then followed Ryuzaki Sakurano's gaze.

Seeing this, Kosakata Tomika couldn't help but fell into a state of nympho again, couldn't help holding his little face in both hands, and said intoxicatedly, "Ah, another handsome guy, has Pengxiang's love luck arrived?"

Seeing this, Ryuzaki Sakura could only smile dumbfoundingly, Ryuzaki Sakura had no choice but to deal with her best friend's nympho habit.

boom! boom! boom!

The tennis ball in Chen Anxia's hand hit the ground repeatedly, attracting everyone's attention.

Then, I saw Chen Anxia throwing the bouncing ball high into the air, while bending his knees and leaning back, his whole body was like a drawn bow.

The next moment, Chen Anxia straightened her upper body instantly, as if the tight bowstring was suddenly loosened. At the same time, she spotted the free-falling tennis ball in the air, and swung her racket suddenly.

"Boom~"

Following the sound, a golden beam of light flew straight towards the opposite field.

"Easy and easy~" Seeing this, Takeshi Momoshiro stepped directly to the landing point, looked at the incoming ball, and responded with a smile.

Then I saw Takeshi Momoshiro swung the racket backhand without hesitation, and hit the ball back directly, and Takeshi Momoshiro couldn't help but follow the direction in which the tennis ball was flying.

Seeing this, Takeshi Taoshiro's face changed instantly, because Chen Anxia had arrived at the net at some point, facing the tennis ball that was flying straight towards him, and was already in the swing position.

This posture is, as soon as Takeshi Momoshiro saw this posture, he had no time to think about it, and hurriedly ran towards the net, as if he wanted to remedy it, but it was too late, or it could be said that Takeshi Momoshiro's current physical condition restricted his actions .

I saw Chen Anxia leaning sideways, holding the racket backhand, gently facing the tennis ball down, and then saw the tennis ball draw a beautiful trajectory in the air, directly fell into the front court of the opposite half, and bounced lightly. Twice, and scroll forward.

Seeing this, Takeshi Taoshiro stopped in his tracks, looked at Chen Anxia helplessly and said, "Falling ball volley, you can even play this way~"

This technique can be regarded as a relatively advanced tennis technique. It is a light volley in the air so that the tennis ball hits the ground as soon as it passes the net, leaving the opponent with no time to react.

Moreover, the falling ball volley can serve as an indefensible purpose, so this style of play can often be used as a favorable weapon to mobilize, interfere and contain the opponent on the court.

Not only Takeshi Momoshiro, but everyone else was surprised by Chen Anxia's ball just now, not just because of Chen Anxia's falling ball volley.

It was more because, just now, when Wu Taocheng was about to swing, Chen Anxia suddenly moved, came directly to the net, and set up his swing.

And Takeshi Momoshiro seemed to have made an appointment, and the next moment he swung his racket back and hit the ball straight back to where Chen Anxia was.

In that scene just now, it was as if Chen Anxia could foretell the future, it was really unbelievable, was it super intuition? Or super dynamic vision?

All of a sudden, various thoughts arose in everyone's minds.

"Referee, shouldn't it be time to announce the score~" Chen Anxia looked at Satoshi Horio who was sitting on the referee chair with a smile.

"Ah, 15-0~" Satoshi Horio came to his senses and hurriedly said.

"Ah, my lord, come on!!" Tomoka Kosakata cheered happily.

After Chen Anxia heard the voice of support, she couldn't help but smiled slightly at Tomoka Kosakata, this smile instantly made Tomoka Kosakata fall into a state of nympho again.

"What an attractive boy~" Even Shiba Saori, who is an adult woman, couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this moment.

But as he said that, Zhi Saori seemed to have noticed something, pointed at Chen Anxia's racket in the field, and said in surprise, "Oh, Senior Inoue, look at the racket in Chen Anxia's hand, isn't it a bit strange?"

Hearing the words, Inoue couldn't help but looked over. After seeing this, he suddenly exclaimed in disbelief, "This is a wooden tennis racket!? Does anyone still use wooden tennis rackets now!?"

"Senior Inoue, what's wrong with the wooden tennis racket? Why are you so surprised?" Shiba Saori couldn't help asking curiously upon hearing this.

Hearing this, Inoue's face couldn't help becoming serious, and he slowly explained

"With the development of the times, tennis rackets are also constantly developing. We can roughly divide the development of tennis rackets into three stages~"

"The earliest stage was the era of wooden tennis rackets, and it was also the first formal tennis racket to appear, but later it was eliminated because of the high cost, cumbersome craftsmanship, and insufficient performance of the racket~"

"Then came the era of iron-aluminum tennis rackets, and then came the era of tennis rackets made of carbon and composite materials that we see now~"

"It can be said that wooden tennis rackets have long been eliminated, and basically no one uses them in the current tennis world, because the performance of wooden tennis rackets is simply not as good as tennis rackets made of new materials~"

"Is the performance of the wooden tennis racket poor?" Kosakata Tomika asked curiously.

Inoue paused slightly when he heard the words, as if organizing his language, and then explained

"We all know that the factors that affect a tennis racket can be roughly divided into hardness, racket face size and racket weight~"

"The hardness index of ordinary rackets is generally around 65. If it is lower than 65, we call it a soft racket, and if it is higher than 65, we call it a hard racket~"

"Generally speaking, the harder the racket, the smaller the deformation when hitting the ball, and it requires less active force from the player holding the racket, and it is easier to borrow force"

"However, the harder the racket needs the arm to withstand more force and impact, it has certain requirements for its own physical fitness, and vice versa~"

"And the size of the racket surface determines the size of the sweet spot of the racket. The smaller the racket surface, the smaller the sweet spot, the better the control ability; the larger the racket surface, the larger the sweet spot, the better the hitting ability~"

"What's that sweet spot?" Kosakata Tomika asked curiously about the baby.

Hearing this, Inoue smiled slightly and explained, "The sweet spot is the effective hitting area on the racket face. The sweet spot can give players enough power and ball control to hit the ball solidly~"

Ryuzaki Sakurano, Kosakata Tomika, and Shiba Saori all nodded with a look of sudden understanding, expressing their understanding.

Seeing this, Inoue couldn't help being a little funny, but continued to explain, "As I just said, there is also the weight of the racket. Simply put, the heavier the racket, the better the hitting ability, the weaker the control, and the lighter the racket. The better the control ability, the weaker the hitting ability~”

Saying that, Inoue couldn't help looking at Chen Anxia and Momoshiro Takeshi who were competing in the arena, and continued:

"As for wooden rackets, due to material limitations, the surface size is generally around 65, which is only slightly larger than badminton rackets~"

"The hardness is only about 40, but the weight has reached about 350g. You must know that the surface size of a general racket is about 95, and the weight is about 320g~"

"Because of this, the various indicators of wooden rackets are inferior to modern rackets, which is why wooden rackets are eliminated~"

"Then why does Chen Anxia still use wooden rackets?" Zhi Saori couldn't help asking curiously after hearing the words.

"I don't know~" Inoue replied with a dignified expression, shaking his head, and continued, "But there is one thing I can know, that is Chen Anxia who can use the wooden racket so freely, and her strength is not simple~"

Shiba Saori, Ryuzaki Sakurano and Kosakata Tomika couldn't help looking at Chen Anxia, ​​who was hitting the ball with a wooden racket, and couldn't help being a little dazed for a moment.

The match between Chen Anxia and Takeshi Momoshiro is still going on.

"boom!"

"40-0"

Seeing that he conceded another goal, Takeshi Momoshiro didn't show any panic at all, but looked at Chen Anxia who was calm on the opposite side, and said with a smile, "This kid really doesn't give seniors any respect~ "

As he said that, Takeshi Momoshiro couldn't help looking at his ankle joints covered by trousers, looking at the slightly exposed white bandages, and thought in his heart, "The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for me. To show real strength, End the game as soon as possible~"

Thinking about it, I saw Takeshi Taoshiro clapping with both hands, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared straight at Chen Anxia who was in the opposite teeing area.

And at this moment, Chen Anxia made a movement that no one expected. Chen Anxia slowly retracted his serve and walked to the sideline, where he placed his tennis bag.

Then, under everyone's curious and puzzled eyes, he slowly put the wooden racket in his hand back into the tennis bag, and then took out a brand new racket from the tennis bag.

Seeing this scene, all the people who knew what was going on were all shocked, and couldn't help whispering, "This is..."

A gust of wind blows slowly, shaking off pieces of cherry blossoms. In the rain of cherry blossom petals, I saw Chen Anxia walking back to the teeing area step by step with a brand new racket. Looking at Takeshi Momoshiro on the opposite side, she smiled slightly and said:

"The game has just begun~"
