Chapter 448 Singles 3, Ishikawa vs Amadeus
7-6!
No one expected that the Japanese team would eventually win this doubles match.
"That man's tennis ball is too dangerous!"
After losing the game, Federer and Pugu looked at the snow-white haired young man with strong fear in their eyes.
No one expected that the other party would actually hide such a trick. Moreover, it was not used until the tie-break, which dealt a fatal blow to the two of them.
"this guy"
Henry glanced at Zaneshima and said in a deep voice: "How dare he? If that junior high school student fails to persevere, wouldn't they have no chance at all?"
"This is probably the trust in your partner."
Laimbeer shook his head, and then said meaningfully: "Of course, there is another possibility. It wasn't until the tie-break that he was really able to nihilize the tennis of Albert and Randy."
The so-called water drops can penetrate a stone, but it still needs the power of time. Taneshima himself is not strong enough that one person can suppress two top players.
The Japanese team won this game by luck.
But at the same time, they used an upright attitude to win from the hands of these two top players. The gold content is not too high.
"So...is this the second consecutive defeat?"
Some other representatives of the Swiss team had expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
Swiss team.
Ranked second in the world.
The big4 team has many top players, including Amadeus, a professional master. They actually lost two games in a row, which completely subverted everyone's pre-match predictions.
"In other words, they have been forced into a corner."
In the stands.
Representatives from other countries had strong curiosity in their eyes. After all, in this game, the Swiss team was considered to be an elite team, but it ended in such a miserable outcome.
at the same time.
They never made any mistakes again.
The Swiss team must win the next three singles matches.
In the past, no one would have doubted the strength of the Swiss team. After all, Amadeus is in charge of singles.
But the Japanese team is different.
Not only did they win two consecutive games in the group stage, but they also powerfully defeated the world's number one German team in the exhibition match.
and.
Many people know that this game was led by the boy who defeated the German team's top player Qp in the exhibition match.
There is no doubt about it.
The opponent will definitely play one of the singles matches.
I just don’t know whether the Swiss team’s coaching arrangements accurately calculated the opponent’s playing order. Based on this, with Amadeus sniping Ishikawa, they had the possibility of victory.
therefore.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's attention fell on the next singles match between the two sides.
"Next, the singles 3 match is about to begin."
At this time, the broadcast rang: "The representative of the Swiss team, Charles Arno (third grade in junior high school), faced off against the representative of the Japanese team, Shin Ishikawa (first grade of junior high school)."
"Please prepare both players."
The words fell.
But within the Swiss team, a young man with short blond hair was seen, and the confident smile on his face instantly became stiff.
"I-I'll beat that Ishikawa...?!"
Arno was completely stunned.
He is very talented. Although he is only in the third grade of junior high school, he quickly rose to prominence after joining the Swiss U17 and became an official representative.
Because of his outstanding performance and hard-working attitude, everyone is saying within the Swiss team that the opponent is very likely to become the main player of the Swiss team in the Los Angeles World Cup two years later.
But now. He is only 14 years old!
Although compared to the 12-year-old Ishikawa, no matter how you look at it in terms of age, this rookie player of the Swiss team has an advantage.
but.
The expression on the other party's face at this moment was completely frozen. The whole figure seemed to have been cast by a spell, standing there as if it were petrified.
"It's over."
"I'm really going to lose now."
"Damn it, why didn't the Japanese team play according to common sense?"
"Yes, that guy has professional-level strength, right? He was placed in singles 3. This is simply..."
He wanted to call his opponent despicable, but after all, he was a player of the Swiss team, so he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
For a while.
The entire Swiss team was immersed in gloom.
"referee!"
Just when Charles Arnaud was about to take the field, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"We request a substitution for this game!"
Uh-huh!
For a while.
Countless eyes fell on the young man behind Arno, who was wearing a light white turban and his dreadlocks neatly splayed down.
It was none other than Alexander Amadeus, the head coach of the Swiss team!
"General."
Arno turned around, and when he saw Amadeus coming over with a racket in his hand, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Very good."
Never before has he felt so familiar with the World Cup rules that allow player substitution in any game (limited to once per game).
"Um."
Meeting his gaze, Amadeus nodded and said: "Don't let your guard down, go warm up and prepare for the last game."
"I see."
Arno nodded heavily.
Then he solemnly picked up the racket, walked out of the court, and left through the side door.
"Actually... there is such a thing?!"
In the stands.
The representatives of the Japanese team were stunned.
No one expected that the Swiss team could pull off such an operation, which shocked everyone.
"Yes."
At this time, Guan Yue, who is familiar with the rules, explained: "According to the rules of the competition, both sides have the right to make one substitution in each game. Of course, after one side chooses to substitute, the other side can also exercise its right immediately."
"That is to say."
Hearing this, Hiyoshi, Kirihara and others all looked at Ishikawa on the side of the court. The former smiled and said: "It would be interesting if the deputy minister also chooses to replace the players at this time."
"hey-hey."
Kirihara also laughed maliciously.
If this is the case, then the Swiss team will definitely lose.
However, no one, including the two of them, believed that Ishikawa would make such a choice.
First of all, Ishikawa is not someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Secondly, the number of professional players he lost to was no longer one or two. Moreover, instead of playing the game of equal substitution, it is better to defeat the Swiss team leader head-on.
With an absolutely invincible attitude, he completely defeated the second team in the world!
"Hmm."
Outside the stadium, the attention of the representatives of each team was completely focused on the figures on the left and right sides of the stadium.
"I didn't expect that the duel between these two people would come so quickly!"
"In the final analysis, the Swiss team's doubles performance was not up to par. Otherwise, Amadeus would not have been forced to play in singles 3."
"But why did Ishikawa appear in singles 3? With his strength, shouldn't he be arranged in singles 1 to have a king-versus-king showdown with Amadeus?"
"Forehead"
Hear the words.
Everyone fell silent immediately.
"Tell me, is there a possibility?"
At this time, one of them whispered: "The Japanese team knew that they could win two consecutive victories, so they deliberately placed that person at No. 3 in the singles?"
"deliberately?"
"Why?!"
The others looked over in surprise.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Someone squinted his eyes and said, "Of course we have to force the Swiss team leader out!"
Ugh!
Suddenly.
Everyone’s eyes changed.
"What a coincidence, right?"
One of them whispered: "No matter what, the coach and head coach of the Japanese team cannot guarantee that they can really win consecutive games in the first two doubles, right?"
Hear the words.
Everyone nodded.
In their view, this explanation is indeed more reasonable. However, there are also many people whose eyes are filled with sparkles.
"Is it really just a coincidence?"
When these people looked at Ishikawa, their eyes suddenly became meaningful.
now.
As the players from both sides entered the court, the atmosphere around them became quiet.
In front of the net.
The two strongest players on their respective teams looked at each other.
"First meeting."
Amadeus was the first to speak: "I have watched your game. You are indeed very strong. No wonder you can defeat that guy. However, I will not lose this game."
That guy?
Ishikawa couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
If other people were here, they might think of someone mentioned by the other party as the perfect quality of the German team. But Ishikawa knew that Amadeus was actually talking about someone else.
Immediately.
Then he smiled and said: "I have heard too many similar words. But no one can do it."
mad!
So crazy!
Amadis's first impression was that the young man in front of him was too arrogant. But he quickly calmed down and thought about it. If he had achieved such a record at such an age, he would probably be crazier than the opponent.
and
For some reason, he had a vague feeling. The other party's madness is actually deliberately pretending, and the purpose is probably to anger himself.
"Shouldn't it?"
Amadis thought to himself.
Because no matter how you look at it, the other party doesn't look like that kind of top person who plays inner games.
"Um?"
but.
a certain moment.
He was suddenly stunned.
"Illusion?"
Amadis was slightly shocked, because just now, he seemed to see a meaningful smile on the other person's face.
It was also that moment.
He suddenly had the feeling that his thoughts seemed to be seen through by the other party.
"Shin Ishikawa!"
Taking a breath, Amadis's eyes suddenly became sharp.
If you think about it carefully, he seems to be a little too naive. Putting aside everything else, since the young man in front of him can defeat the guy he regards as a strong opponent in a head-on confrontation.
Just this.
No matter how seriously the other party takes it, it is not an exaggeration.
"The exchange of words is feeble."
Thinking of this, Amadeus said: "Save everything for the game, let's use tennis to talk!"
"Um."
Ishikawa nodded slightly.
immediately.
After guessing the right to serve, the two of them retreated to the baseline.
"The game begins, and one set determines the outcome."
On the high chair, the referee, who knew the importance of this game, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Swiss team Amadeus serves, the game is over!"
Uh-huh!
moment.
Countless eyes fell on the young man with dreadlocks. I saw the other party take out a tennis ball and beat it gently.
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
After carefully feeling the feeling of hitting the tennis ball, Amadeus raised his head and locked his eyes on his opponent.
"Then let me test how good your tennis is!"
Bang!
Immediately.
Amadeus took action.
The starting move was a tricky ultra-high-speed rotating serve. The tennis ball reached the area in front of Ishikawa almost in the blink of an eye.
tsk tsk
The tennis ball hasn't hit the ground yet.
Even Ishikawa could see that due to the rapid rotation on the surface, all the hairs were stretched out in the same direction. But if you look carefully, a very small number of them are obviously violently deflecting in the opposite direction.
No surprises.
The opponent's serve must have incorporated deep rotation changes.
Anyone else would have taken action rashly without even looking carefully. A very small number of people fall into a state of tension and alert after observing deep-seated changes.
But Ishikawa is different.
It was as if he didn't notice the profound changes in tennis. Whether he saw it or not, he raised the racket and hit it.
"Are you taking action now?"
Amadeus frowned secretly.
He believed that Ishikawa should not be unable to see the subtle changes he left on the tennis ball, inferring from the clues the special nature of this serve.
but.
The other party's response was so fast.
It seemed like he was just fighting back without thinking deeply at all.
"Or is it that his insight has reached the level where he can see through it with just one glance?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and Amadeus shook his head. This was too exaggerated. In the first duel, even he, who had considerable experience in professional competitions, did not dare to do this.
Whoosh!
But the next second.
As Ishikawa swung the racket, the tennis ball turned into a light yellow streamer. In an instant, he appeared in Amadeus' sight.
"So fast!"
He raised his eyebrows lightly.
Then, he quickly moved half a step laterally to get a suitable hitting space, and then completely focused on the tennis ball.
"Wait. Subsequent changes?!"
Suddenly.
Amadeus stared.
Because he didn't even see any special spin incorporated into the ball when he hit the ball.
It's like a mud cow entering the sea.
The spin he specially added to the inside of the tennis ball actually completely disappeared.
"Don't tell me"
immediately.
As if he realized something, Amadeus suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party in disbelief.
The guess is true!
The opponent actually saw through his ball path and spin changes with just one glance. Such insight is too amazing, right? !
Bang!
And when Amadeus swung the ball and felt the rotational fluctuations coming from above, his heart, which had already calmed down, suddenly felt a strong sense of shock.
"this guy"
Feeling the rotating force transmitted from the racket, centered on the point, spreading in circles, the Swiss team's leader suddenly felt a storm in his heart.
because.
This is basically the deep rotation change integrated into the tennis ball when he serves.
The opponent, on the other hand, not only saw through his ball path and spin. Even the principle of his serve was seen by the opponent at a glance.
"Isn't this guy's insight and comprehension abilities too terrifying?"
