Chapter 290: The Battle for the First Ball (There will be another update later)

...

The sound of hitting the ball is as rhythmic and dynamic as music.

However, this was not a real musical after all. The audience's eyes had been filled with anticipation from the beginning, but as time went by, they began to feel a little tired.

After more than twenty minutes, the game was still undecided.

The degree to which both sides were serious about this ball completely exceeded the imagination of everyone else present.

"What on earth do Furio and Bimboli want to do?"

In the Spanish team's preparation area, Romeo Fernandez, who was called one of the strongest junior high school students in the tournament by the media before the start of the World Cup, did not quite understand the situation on the field at this time.

In his opinion, it was just the first ball of a test, but it was played so childishly, which was something he had never seen before.

"Well, Romeo, it's normal that you don't understand. Those two guys just don't want to lose the first goal to the opponent in the field they are good at."

Mars, who is a close friend of both players on the field, understands what they are thinking very well. Both Fiorio and Bianboli have their own pride in their hearts.

In particular, the opponent secretly launched a stop-the-ball challenge against them, which made it impossible for the two to give in.

"Really? But is this really okay?"

Romeo raised his finger and pointed to the Japanese team's half and said, "If they continue to play like this, it will be very disadvantageous to them in terms of physical strength."

As Romeo is extremely good at long-term battles, he has now discovered a slight disadvantage for the Spanish team.

"what?!"

Reminded by Romeo, Mars now carefully observed the situation in the tennis court, and then he also discovered this detail.

Compared to the two players from the Japanese team who did not have a drop of sweat on their bodies, the players on their side already had beads of sweat appearing on their cheeks.

It wasn't too obvious for Furio, but the amount of sweating on Bianboli's side was a bit abnormal.

"How could this happen? Even after playing a whole game, these two have never had such a situation before."

Mars covered his mouth slightly, somewhat unable to believe it.

"This shows that their opponent this time is extraordinary. Moreover, Bian Boli used parkour to receive many tricky returns from the opponent. The instantaneous physical energy consumption during this process is probably something he has never encountered before."

Medanore suddenly interrupted. With his keen eyesight, he quickly saw what difficulties the two teammates encountered during the fierce confrontation.

As the best doubles combination of the Spanish team, Medanore is well aware of the strength of the two players on the court.

It can be said that even if he is separated into singles, he is definitely capable of playing the singles position in the team.

However, due to misjudging the opponent's strength and being driven by the genius's competitive spirit, he has ended up in the current difficult situation.

Moreover, in Menore's opinion, the two people on the field have actually discovered the problem. As the former captain, Frio has been trying to slow down the pace and reduce the parkour range of Bianboli.

However, their response has been slow.

In other words, they have unknowingly transformed from active initiators of this "interception game" to passive counterattackers.

Medanore's eyes slowly turned towards the Japanese team's half. He knew very well that the real culprit that made Frio and Bemboli unable to stop was the harmless-looking junior high school student on the opposite side, Maya Yuuki.

Every time when Frio slowed down the ball to slow down the rhythm, Maya Yuuki would take the initiative to meet it and hit a high lob.

The height of his lob was just right within Bianboli's jumping range.

This was undoubtedly a provocation. The meaning of Maya Yuuki's shot was that she did not regard Ben Boli's jumping smash as a threat at all.

In fact, Bian Boli didn't need to catch the ball, he could just let it fall to the backcourt and let Fiorio catch it.

However, Ben Boli could not accept this, because Maya Yuuki not only hit high balls, but also hit them right on top of his head every time without any disguise.

It's not that Bian Boli had not thought about ignoring it, but as long as he ignored the previous ball, the opponent would immediately lower the height of the next ball and hit the tennis ball to a height only as high as the racket stretched out from his head.

This is also the situation that Ben Boli is facing now. If he doesn't jump, he will be attacked in the face by Maya Yuuki.

But no matter how he jumped and smashed, Maya Yuuki was always able to reach the landing point of his smash in time.

"Bian Boli, adjust your rhythm."

Here, after Frio intercepted the tennis ball before it hit the ground, he gestured.

Under the current circumstances, they can no longer be led by the nose, and if they want to change this situation, it depends on Bian Boli's choice.

"Huh... I understand."

It seemed that she had made a decision in her heart. When Maya Yuuki hit back with a high lob again, looking at the tennis ball above her head which was only three racket heights away from her, this time Bian Boli suppressed the urge to jump and chose to pass the ball to Furio in the backcourt.

"Well done, Bian Boli."

With a relieved smile, Volio caught up with the falling tennis ball and intercepted the ball in mid-air.

Once, twice...

When he saw that the ball was only a light jump away from him, Bian Boli once again resisted the urge to smash the ball and chose not to catch it. "You are quite good at jumping, aren't you? Why don't you jump now? Are you tired?"

A plain questioning voice came into the ears of Bian Boli. He looked at the voice and saw Maya Yuuki standing in front of the opposite net.

There was no doubt that these words came from the other party's mouth. Looking at the calm face of Yuuki Maya, Bian Boli vaguely felt the sarcasm in it.

If this was a singles match, Bianboli believed that he would immediately respond to the opponent positively, but this was a doubles match, and he did not want to worry too much for his partner and close friend, Florio.

So he could only choose to ignore what the other party said, turn around immediately and cross position, as if his mentality was not affected at all.

"Did the provocation fail? I never expected that..."

Seeing Bian Boli ignoring her expression, Yuuki Maya felt slightly surprised.

He thought the other party would take the bait, but he didn't expect him to be so calm.

However, the opponent consumed a lot of physical energy just as he expected, so it was not a complete loss.

Focus your scattered attention again, the outcome of this ball has not yet been decided.

On this side, although the Spanish team successfully slowed down the batting rhythm, they still failed to end the goal as they wished.

The two sides fought back and forth for ten minutes, and finally, Fulio decided to take the initiative.

Taking advantage of the moment when he exchanged positions with Bianboli, Friio suddenly rushed to the net and intercepted the tennis ball that had just passed the net.

He quickly chopped down the racket to steal the ball, but Shuji Tanejima caught up in time and made a diving kick, and the tennis ball flew high.

The returned tennis ball flew very high, so high that it was beyond Bianboli's jumping range.

"Fulio!"

Bianboli simply called out his partner's name, and Frio immediately understood and lifted his left leg backwards.

The next moment, Bian Boli stepped on Furio's heel and jumped up using the force.

As if taking off, Bian Boli caught up with the high ball.

Looking down, the Japanese team's half was in full view. Without hesitation, Bian Boli adjusted his body in the air and swung the racket to hit the ball hard.

This is a super smash. At such a high altitude, it is very difficult to predict the path of the tennis ball, especially for the players in the front court, which is almost a blind spot.

However, the tennis ball that fell like a cannonball was caught by a racket just before it hit the ground.

A black arrow of light flashed past the opponent's side, who was suspended in mid-air, and landed in the bottom corner of the Spanish team's backcourt.

This was the first time the tennis ball had landed since thirty minutes later. However, surprisingly, just when everyone thought the ball was about to end, at the last moment, Volio caught up with the tennis ball that was about to land for the second time.

He swung the racket vigorously with both hands, and the tennis ball flew back to the Japanese team's half in an arc from behind the baseline.

At this time, Bian Boli landed.

The audience, who had originally been prepared to let go, were forced to pick it up again.

"You don't want to give up? The opponent is really tenacious." Tanejima Shuji smacked his lips.

He looked at the flying tennis ball and began to move backwards towards the backcourt.

The highest point of the arc of the tennis ball was far beyond his jumping range, so Shuji Tanejima could only choose to change the receiving point.

"Don't bother me so much, senior. Please lend me your shoulder."

The figure of Maya Yuuki came from the side, and when Shuji Tanejima heard it, he immediately understood and bent down.

Maya Yuuki used the opponent's shoulder as a pedal and took off into the air like a falcon.

"Let's use this goal to put an end to this game."

Golden light covered the racket in his hand, and a destructive aura filled the air above the tennis court.

The tennis ball, with the added force of a smash, was hit and blasted towards the Spanish team's half of the court like a laser cannon that was fired after accumulating energy.

"not good!"

Seeing the imposing beam of light approaching, Furio and Bianboli's bodies were suddenly filled with connected light.

At this critical moment, they passively activated their ability to synchronize, and then Volio held the racket with both hands, trying to meet the opponent head-on.

However, this action was immediately stopped by Bian Boli who was in the synchronized state. His intuition sensed the crisis and he was unwilling to let Furio force himself to attack.

boom

A huge cloud of dust rose up the moment the tennis ball landed on the ground, and no one stopped it, and it ended up being embedded in the wall behind the two people on the opposite side.

"Uh... 0 to 15! The Japanese team scored!"

The referee was stunned for a moment, and after receiving confirmation from the Spanish team's linesman in the headset, he immediately announced the winner of the ball.

And the next moment after the referee's voice fell, the originally silent venue suddenly erupted into a loud noise.

After a confrontation that lasted for more than half an hour, the outcome of the first ball of the doubles match was finally decided.
