Chapter 421: Niou Phantom, Stunning Performance

"How can it be?"

Seeing Niou easily hit back [Innocent Tail], Evangelos's face instantly showed a look of shock.

"What a junior high school student didn't even do that high school student actually did it?"

"Ah."

Seeing the surprise of the other junior high school student, Liu shook his head and laughed in the Japanese team's dugout: "To others, this skill is indeed very sharp. But Nioh, during this period of time, he should have been observing other people's skills."

Nioh's Phantom is not so much a natural ability as it is Nioh's own talent. He relied on extensive footage of watching other people play and, through his own talent, imitated their tennis style.

The most indispensable thing in the Japanese team is all kinds of tricky and weird skills.

"really."

Hear the words.

Sanada next to him nodded and said: "Nioh, even among high school students, can definitely be regarded as a technical all-rounder."

Sanada takes Nioh very seriously.

In the post-national competition stage, especially after entering U17, the opponent no longer hides his talents. The tennis ability shown is not even inferior to the level of the Big Three.

He sometimes wonders if the other party didn't hide his strength and talent at the beginning and fully displayed it. Ritsukaida is no longer a Big Three, but a title like the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Evan."

At this time, a majestic voice sounded on the court: "Concentrate and don't be distracted by your opponents."

"Okay, I know."

After hearing the words of his senior, Evangelos immediately cheered up. He locked his eyes on the two opponents. When he saw Kimijima running towards the tennis ball, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "If I guessed correctly, Hera-senpai's counterattack still had the [Innocent Tail] of rotation, so.”

He secretly believed that the high school students on the opposite side would definitely suffer from this ball again.

Bang!

But the next second.

A touch of light yellow luster bloomed beside Evangelos without any warning.

"What?!"

Looking at the tennis ball flying away from him, Evan had an expression of disbelief on his face.

He didn't react at all.

and.

After seeing the tennis ball ejected, he instinctively wanted to swing the racket back, but was shocked to find that he couldn't move!

"15-15!"

The referee spoke and the stadium suddenly became quiet.

Representatives from various countries, as well as the audience around the scene, glanced at Kimijima in surprise.

"It seems that he was just careless and didn't react?"

Larxiu, the staff officer of the Greek team, frowned subconsciously.

"That's how it should be."

Next to him, a tall and tall young man with long blond hair hanging down from both sides and an aloof temperament nodded and said: "After all, he is a high school student, and his sense of the game on the court is not that weak. But that junior high school student can do it for the first time It’s not easy to bring back Hercules’ skills.”

Hermes Kounellis.

17 years old.

Vice-captain of the Greek team.

A top player second only to Zeus in strength.

His inclusion in this game shows how determined the Greek team is to defeat the Japanese team.

"A junior high school student on the Japanese team?"

Hear the words.

Zeus, who was holding his hands in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Looking at it this way, he should be in the same class as that person, right?"

Um?

Zeus's words cheered up everyone around him, including Hermes.

They naturally knew who the 'that person' their master was referring to. After yesterday's warm-up match, the opponent has become one of the most eye-catching star players in this World Cup.

After all, Qp does not have the status of a professional player. But his status as the most outstanding player of the German Tennis School is no less important.

therefore.

Including Hermes, everyone conducted quite in-depth research on Ishikawa. It was precisely because he knew the strength of his opponent that the head coach of the Greek team placed Zeus and Hermes in the same team.

But it's a pity.

Judging from the current situation, the super rookie in this World Cup did not play in this game.

"If that's the case, then this guy with blue hair is indeed worth a closer look."

Hermes nodded slightly.

He also experienced the junior high school student days, and he knows very well about the Greek internal junior high school student league. The emergence of a player whose strength far exceeds that of his peers will have such a stimulating effect.

Just like Zeus.

Before he was promoted to the Greek U17 team, the team could only hover around fifteenth in the world. But when Zeus became the team representative and even the core player, the Greek team's ranking continued to rise along the way.

Everyone is very clear about the key role Zeus plays in it.

Many of the original followers of Zeus have now become the main players of the Greek team. Not surprisingly, it will also be his strongest support when competing in the next World Cup two years later.

Bang!

At this moment.

Hercules serves again.

A strong serve, hitting Kimijima's backhand side hard. The landing point was very tricky, and the spinning effect after the tennis ball bounced was even more intense than before.

Bang!

but.

Kimijima said nothing, but directly and decisively hit the tennis ball back.

"I'm sorry, the same trick won't work on me a second time."

Kimijima was very confident.

He is an all-round player. He was indeed not careful just now and was fooled by his opponent's moves. Now, after getting serious, he showed his elite strength.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The two quickly confronted.

Hercules kept increasing his strength, but was always cracked by Kimijima with superb skills. For a while, the two were tied.

"Are the high school students of the Japanese team so good?"

Hercules was very surprised.

With the opponent's strength, even in Greece U17, they can definitely be ranked in the top. And such a player did not play in the previous warm-up match, which shows that the depth of the Japanese team's bench is more terrible than they imagined.

Bang!

"15-30!"

At this time.

Kimijima took advantage of the opponent's distraction to suddenly shoot a cold arrow and caught Hercules off guard.

"This guy"

The Greek team's master couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "He is really good at catching the timing of the game."

After the head-on competition, his evaluation of his opponent has obviously improved a lot. However, Kimijima's strength is still beyond his prediction.

Bang!

When the two were deadlocked again, Kimijima suddenly increased his hitting speed. He played a time difference and scored again from Hercules.

"15-40!"

"Damn it."

Hercules, who lost points again due to negligence, looked very unhappy. Then, his eyes became sharp, and his aura was much stronger than before.

Bang!

The fifth ball.

The Greek team player finally used his true strength. A heavy ball hit in at a tricky angle, and even if Kimijima reacted, the racket was almost out of his hand.

No way, he had to settle for the second best, just hitting the tennis ball.

Bang!

But he never thought.

Hercules had anticipated this and suddenly attacked with a powerful slam that penetrated Kimijima's defense.

"30-40!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"Greece!"

"Greece!"

"Greece!"

Hercules' strong score greatly boosted the morale of the Greek players.

"The opponent's momentum is going up."

In the Japanese team's rest area, Qian said with a slightly solemn expression: "If we let them get another point, the score advantage accumulated by Kimijima and Nioh in the early stage will be gone. The opponent is likely to take advantage of this momentum and launch a strong attack to rewrite the score in one breath!"

In a duel between masters, the victory or defeat is often in the details. Even extremely subtle changes will change the situation.

Obviously.

Hercules was also ready to win the first game in one go, just like Qian thought.

Bang!

Suddenly.

Hercules hit the tennis ball.

The powerful ball, but with a sharp rotation, fell to the backhand position of Niou on the right side.

"Heh."

Seeing the fast-falling tennis ball, Niou understood what the other party was thinking. He smiled faintly and swept the racket horizontally.

With a snap.

Hercules' extremely powerful shot was easily broken.

"This short ball?!"

Seeing this, Evangelos, who was the forward, suddenly contracted his pupils.

The tennis ball flew over the blocking net and fell slowly like an autumn leaf. The speed was neither fast nor slow, and there was no trace of Hercules' powerful serve.

Ta-ta-ta!!

After a brief shock, Evangelos immediately started forward and hit the tennis ball before it landed for the second time.

Bang!

However.

The flaw he exposed was seen through by Kimishima at a glance. A powerful backhand shot once again stunned Evangelos on the spot.

"Game!"

"Japan, 1-0, exchange positions!"

End of the game.

Kimijima and Nioh broke the opponent's serve.

This surprised the fans and players of the Greek team. You know, this serve was not from the junior high school student Evangelos, but from the high school student Hercules!

"The situation is not good."

Outside the court, the Greek team's staff officer Lars frowned and said, "The opponent seems to be targeting Evan."

"Yeah."

Hermes nodded: "This is a common tactic in doubles. Obviously, the opponent thinks that Evan is a suitable breakthrough. Prepare to use this to control the situation of the game."

Hearing this.

The faces of the other players of the Greek team became solemn.

Because once Evangelos is defeated, Hercules alone will be unable to support the team. They are likely to lose this game.

This is not a warm-up match, but the World Cup finals.

The victory or defeat of each game is very crucial. The Greek team sent out the two top players ranked first and second in this game.

If they lose both, they will become the representative of the first round of the World Cup.

"It seems that something must be done."

When changing positions, the bearded Hercules took a breath and seemed to have made some kind of decision. His eyes were locked on the blue-haired junior high school student on the opposite side.

"Second game."

"Japanese team Kimijima serves, one game ends."

Soon.

The game started again.

Bang!

Kimijima was merciless in his attack. A high-speed serve with super rotation was like a heavy hammer, directly nailing the middle school student Evangelos on the opposite side stiffly on the spot.

"15-0!"

"Hiss"

Seeing the Japanese player serve an ace as soon as he made a move, many spectators around the scene couldn't help but take a breath.

"The situation is very bad."

Hercules, who also saw the ball, showed a strong worry in his eyes.

The opponent's strength means that he must get rid of the opponent's middle school student in a short time. Then he can give full play to his doubles strength to have a chance of winning.

Bang!

At this time.

Kimijima served again.

The powerful spiral serve landed, and the moment the ball pressure was released, it rolled up most of the dust on the ground. Covering Hercules' figure.

"Come on!"

The opponent shouted in a low voice and immediately made a hitting action. With a crisp bang, the tennis ball was counterattacked by him and flew straight to where Niou was.

It was obvious.

His target was Niou.

"Young man, I'm sorry, I have to do this."

After hitting the tennis ball, Hercules' eyes became sharp: "I have a reason not to lose this game!"

Bang!

At this time.

Niou hit the tennis ball.

Seeing this, Hercules closed his eyes with a little pain: "God, please forgive my next move."

Bang!

The thought turned.

He swung the racket violently and hit the tennis ball violently towards Niou, and hit it straight.

"Chasing ball?!"

Seeing this ruthless ball, many people changed their faces immediately. The ball speed was too fast, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to react.

Bang!

However.

Niou's body shape changed very quickly, and he quickly stepped back and moved sideways. After making a suitable space, he counterattacked the tennis ball.

"This force-relieving technique again!"

Feeling that the flying tennis ball no longer had the impact of his swing, Hercules' expression suddenly became serious.

He knew that he had underestimated the opponent's strength.

But.

He did have a reason not to lose this game.

"Huh!"

Take a deep breath, Hercules' eyes suddenly became serious.

Buzz!

The next moment.

A silver-white light burst out from his body. After the silver light enveloped the tennis ball, there was only a bang. A silver light that was extremely fast suddenly flew out.

"It appeared!"

Feeling the sharpness of this light, forward Evangelos couldn't help but be excited: "Senior Hera's [Olympian Silver Light]!!!"

This is a very advanced ability.

Only a few masters in the Greek team can master this move.

Therefore.

In Evangelos's opinion,

When Hercules used this move, the outcome of the game was determined.

"But."

Thinking of this, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Being able to force Senior Hera to such a point is enough for you to be proud. Hmm?"

Buzz!

But.

Evangelos hadn't finished speaking when he saw a dazzling silver-white light suddenly burst out from the opposite side of the King.

Whoosh!

The next moment.

A sharp light shot out.

The speed was so fast that Hercules, who was not prepared in advance, changed his face wildly.

Crack.

At this time, there was a sound of something being cut.

Then, under the horrified eyes of others, especially Evangelos. On the right side of Hercules, who looked like an ancient Greek sculpture, a strand of curly golden hair slowly fell down.

"What was that just now?"

Hercules' pupils also shrank rapidly.

"Wait. What's going on with that guy?"

Suddenly.

When he looked at King Ni again with doubt, he saw a figure wearing the same red and black coat, but with black hair.

"Ishikawa Shin?"

Outside the court.

Greek team staff officer Larsius blurted out instinctively.
