Chapter 423: The Double Battle of Old Enemies, Tezuka and Sanada

"How, how is it possible?!"

Evangelos, who had just broken through, looked at the other 'Kimijima Ikuto' at the opposite baseline with a look of astonishment on his face.

"It's almost like a phantom."

The bearded Hercules also said in shock.

As for outside the stadium, the players of the Greek team were just reacting at this time. Evangelos's mistake was not accidental, but was affected by another 'Kimijima'.

"so"

Hermes narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this person not just imitating someone else, but becoming someone else like a phantom?"

"phantom?"

Staff officer Larxiu was shocked.

If that's the case, that would be too scary, right?

But if not.

So how to explain that two Kimijima Ikuto appeared on the court at the same time. Because if you don't distinguish carefully, you can't identify Nioh's true form at all.

"They didn't lose unjustly."

At this time, Zeus suddenly said something with emotion.

Everyone looked back, only to see him shaking his head and saying: "If I'm not wrong, this player named Nioh Masaharu can "phantom" others only if he has completely studied the opponent's mentality."

"Forehead."

Hear the words.

The twin brothers Apollo and Orion were still confused: "Lord Zeus, what do you mean?"

Several other people also looked puzzled.

They heard something in Zeus's words, but they didn't know what it was about.

"Mindset? Heart? Could it be that"

At this time.

Hermes suddenly reacted and looked at Nioh on the court with a surprised face: "If this is really the case, then this person's doubles is too terrifying, right?"

"Senior."

Apollo, who had spoken very confidently before, now listened to the conversation between the two, but felt that his head was clogged and uncomfortable, as if he was about to grow a new brain.

"homology!"

Staff officer Larxiu said with a solemn expression.

homology?

Upon hearing this word, Apollo and Orion, who were still a little confused, their pupils suddenly shrank.

As a doubles team, they know exactly what this word means.

"That is to say."

Brother Apollo said solemnly: "He can enter a state of synchronization with his phantom player at any time."

This also explains why Zeus said that Heracles and Evangelos had not lost unjustly.

It took a long time to fight.

The opponent's players didn't show their full strength at all. Playing the second set in this state, the Greek team is indeed likely to lose.

"call."

Thinking of this, Apollo was visibly relieved.

He was glad that he was not unlucky enough to meet these two people. Otherwise, even if their brothers use such terrible tricks, they will definitely lose.

"Don't think too much, brother."

But Orion lowered his voice with a smile on his face and said, "This is not entirely a bad thing for us."

"Yeah, sure."

Apollo was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

The disastrous defeat in Doubles 2 was a huge blow to the morale of the Greek team. In this case, as long as the brothers can win Doubles 1, they will definitely shine in front of the Greek team's head coach and coach.

Completely compare to Evangelos who has awakened [Silver Light].

"Next, the Doubles 1 match is about to begin."

"The Greek team representatives Apollo Stephanopoulos (junior 3) and Orion Stephanopoulos (junior 2) were against the Japanese team representatives Tezuka Kunimitsu (junior 3) and Sanada Genichiro (junior 2). 3).

"Please prepare both players."

As soon as the words fell, on the Greek team's side, Apollo and Orion were eager to get ready to play.

tread!

And the other side.

In the direction of the Japanese team, Tezuka calmly walked onto the court with a racket in hand after tying his shoelaces. Sanada, who was wearing a black peaked cap, appeared with the opponent with an indifferent expression.

"These two guys hum!!"

Seeing the identities of Tezuka and Sanada marked on the information, Apollo and Orion immediately laughed.

Junior high school student!

How dare the coach and head coach of the Japanese team do this?

Against the top ten Greek team in the world, you dare to put two junior high school students in doubles 1. This is a joke!

Of course, they were arranged in Doubles 1, and it was certainly not the Greek team’s leader and coach who wanted to sacrifice them. It's their unique identity that makes them shine in the World Championship.

But why are the two members of the Japanese team?

Do you really think that everyone is Ishikawa and everyone has the strength of Nioh Masaharu?

Do not make jokes!

Apollo narrowed his eyes, and there was a cold luster in his eyes: "It's time for you to experience the ancient Greek execution methods of the family!"

"etc!!"

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Um?

Everyone looked back, only to see a young man with long blond hair standing up with a serious expression.

"H-Senior Hermes?"

Apollo and Orion were stunned.

"referee."

But Hermes didn't even look at them. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the referee: "I apply to change the roster!"

"ah?"

"W-what does this mean?"

"Roster change? Do the rules of the World Cup allow temporary replacement of players?"

In the stands, the junior high school students of the Japanese team were stunned.

"There are really no rules for this."

Guanyue glanced at the World Cup rules in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Moreover, this kind of thing happens every year in the World Cup. However, each party only has one chance to change in each game."

"If both parties are qualified, then there's no problem."

Yagyu nodded and said: "If one party applies to change players, the other party will also follow suit. Generally speaking, it will not have any impact on the outcome of the game."

"Looking at this situation, the Greek team sensed that something was wrong."

Guanyue smiled and said: "Unfortunately, their substitutions are meaningless. For a game that is bound to be lost, no matter how hard you struggle, it is just in vain."

Japan is far more powerful than others imagine.

This was already proven during the warm-up match. Unlike other people who imagined that the Japanese team sent the strongest lineup in the warm-up match, they actually hid a considerable part of their strength.

Not only the Byodo-in high school students, but also the ghosts did not appear. Junior high school students Tezuka, Yukimura and Sanada were also well hidden.

this game.

The Greek team's plan is destined to fail.

"Ahem."

After a moment, the referee said: "Due to the substitutions made by the Greek team, the players in doubles 1 in this game have been changed to Hermes Kounellis (high 3) and Vulcan Larsius (high 3)! "

"Is there any mistake?"

Seeing the change of candidates, some fans of the Greek team suddenly frowned: "Hermes was actually assigned to doubles 1, what about the remaining three singles games?"

"yes."

Someone next to me also said worriedly: "It's true that Zeus is very strong, but he alone can't change the decline of singles, right?"

"The specific situation is unclear, but since they arranged it this way, they must have their reasons."

There are also people who believe in the decision-making of the Greek high school students.

Especially Hermes, he is a well-known [Wise Man] in the Greek team. He never does anything aimless. Since he took the initiative, he must have foreseen something.

"Damn it."

Looking at the backs of Hermes and Larsio on the stage, Orion gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Lord Hermes thinks too highly of these two guys."

"that is."

Apollo's face was also full of resentment: "With the strength of our two brothers, we can definitely deal with them."

That's right.

The two brothers' playing style is too bloody and violent, but this is a very common thing in the world championship. It is normal for players who are under pressure from the country to do something too violent when forced into a desperate situation.

and.

If Apollo and Orion could defeat their opponents with bloody means. It can also intimidate other players in the Japanese team to a certain extent.

Although their Greek team is not a strong team at the Big 4 level, it is not something that can be humiliated by anyone.

Unfortunately.

The words of complaint came to their lips, but they were swallowed back reluctantly by the brothers. There was no way, they knew the strength of Hermes and Larxiu very well.

Especially Hermes, as the No. 2 player of Greece U17, he is also a senior player. His prestige in Greece U17 has reached its peak level in recent years.

If he hadn't sacrificed himself for the sake of unity, with his strength and reputation, it would not be impossible to compete for No. 1.

"How about it?"

After walking into the stadium, Hermes said to Larsio next to him.

"He is indeed not an ordinary player."

Staff officer Larxiu nodded: "Facing high school students, his expression didn't change at all. This confidence is not fake. These two people are not simple!"

"Um."

Hermes nodded slightly.

The reason for the substitution was that he expected that the Greek team was likely to lose the game in Doubles 1, and the mentality of the players would be further hit.

on the contrary.

If the two of them come forward, they can win the game in doubles 1. The pressure on the Greek team in singles will be much less.

After all, they did come prepared this time. Not only Zeus and Hermes, but other top-ranked high school students were also scheduled to appear.

"I will deal with them later, and you are responsible for collecting information."

Looking at his opponent, Hermes continued: "I'm afraid these two people's ranking among junior high school students in the Japanese team is not low. We need more information about their junior high school students!"

"I see."

Larxiu nodded heavily.

soon.

After the two sides entered the court, they simply guessed the sides and then retreated to their positions.

"The match will be decided in one set."

"In the first game, the Greek team Larsius served, and the game ended!"

After the referee on the high chair finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the slender young man at the bottom line of the Greek team.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

He bent down and patted the tennis ball gently, then looked at the boy wearing the peaked cap repeatedly and threw the tennis ball high.

"Then let me see your reflexes!"

Bang!

immediately.

Larxiu quickly smashed the tennis ball out.

In the eyes of everyone, they only saw a faint yellow trace flashing past. When he looked closely, he saw that the tennis ball was shot into the ground at an extremely tricky angle.

Uh-huh!

And this time.

Sanada's figure suddenly appeared in front of the tennis ball. He raised his racket, locked the tennis ball, and made a hitting motion.

Whoosh!

But at this moment.

The tennis ball that bounced off the ground turned in the opposite direction at an extremely strange angle.

"This is..."

Seeing this familiar scene, the Japanese junior high school students in the stands all had a thought in their minds.

"Naive tail!"

This was the powerful serve played by the high school student named Hercules in the doubles match just now. Even Kimijima was scored by his opponent because of his momentary carelessness.

"Heh."

Hearing the shocking voice from the crowd, the bearded Hercules shook his head and said, "This trick, Laerxiu plays better than me."

This trick was learned by the two people, including many high school students of the Greek team, from the old coach. But the only one who can really master the essence of this serve is Vulcan Laerxiu.

Sure enough.

The rotation on the tennis ball changed violently, making its position after turning become erratic.

"Change direction spin ball?"

Seeing this, Sanada narrowed his eyes into a line.

Swish!

Then

Under the shocked gazes of others, his figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of the tennis ball.

"What?!"

Seeing this, the brothers Apollo and Orion immediately changed their faces.

Too fast!

They didn't even see clearly how the other party moved. Such footwork is too amazing, isn't it?

Crack!

Suddenly.

Lightning flashed.

But I saw Sanada holding the racket high with both hands, aiming at the tennis ball and slashing it down.

Bang!

In an instant.

The arc of light like lightning surged.

The tennis ball rushed to the side of the court at an amazing speed.

Too fast!

Even the always calm Laerciu didn't have time to react. Seeing that the tennis ball was about to fall and bounce, the Japanese team directly received the serve and scored, and many Greek fans were nervous.

Swish!

But the next moment.

A silver racket suddenly turned out, and after it was attached, there was a crisp sound, and the tennis ball was shot out again. And the speed was as fast as the lightning-like shot.

"It's Hermes!"

At this time, Liu, who had just recovered, was surprised and said: "Is this the strength of a top high school student? Genichirō's [Thunder] was actually cracked like this?"

Snap!

But.

At this time.

Sanada swung the racket and cut lightly, so that the rotation and force on the tennis ball were completely resolved at the moment it touched the racket. The tennis ball bounced out lightly, as gentle as autumn leaves.

"Is this. The trick just now?"

Seeing this ball, Hermes and Laerxiu's eyes changed.

Especially the former.

He was ready to give the opponent a second strong counterattack. He never thought that his trick would be resolved so easily.

Pada.

Looking at the tennis ball rolling on the ground and bouncing gently, Laerx and Hermes' faces darkened.

"Hmm."

Laerx looked at his opponent with a serious expression: "This man's skills are better than that of Niou Masaharu!"

Originally, they thought that the strength of the phantom and the original should be very close.

But now it seems that this idea is undoubtedly wrong.

Niou was unable to copy all of Sanada's strength. This junior high school student wearing a black peaked cap is stronger than they thought!
