The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 313: Desperate Situation with All the Trump Cards Failed

Everyone could see that the situation of the Japanese team took a sharp turn for the worse after Mori Jusaburo was targeted, which meant that the current round had become an extremely crucial point of victory or defeat.

Because when the American team chased the score of the second set to 3 to 5, the player standing in the serving position in the ninth game was again Ochi Gekko.

As the fastest server officially certified by this U17 session, Ochi Moonlight now bears a heavy responsibility.

If they win this round, they will be able to directly end this dangerous situation that is gradually getting out of control and win the doubles match with a score of 2-0.

At the same time, the Japanese team will get the match point in the semi-final with an absolute advantage of 2-0 in the total score.

It can be said that the direction of this game now depends entirely on Yuchi's performance at this moment.

When everyone's eyes were focused on him, the latter's face remained as cold as an iceberg, and it was impossible to tell what was hidden beneath that face.

However, the eyes of Spain's Frio, who was far away in the audience, suddenly changed. He was good at capturing subtle changes in expressions and was one of the few people on the field who could see something unusual.

"His eyes... seem to be worried about something."

This is the detail that Furio captured at this moment. In his opinion, Ochi Gekko's mood was not as calm as his expression.

In his sight, Ochi had already thrown the tennis ball into the air, and as he swung the racket, the tennis ball had disappeared in the Japanese team's half.

It was undoubtedly Maher's serve.

The sound of a tennis ball falling to the ground was heard, and behind Alan, who was responsible for catching the ball, a tennis ball quietly appeared out of bounds.

15 is better than 0
What many viewers expected did not happen. The two players on the American team still seemed unable to find a way to deal with the opponent's super serve.

"Ochi-senpai's Mach is really reassuring!"

In the Japanese team's preparation area, Sanada, Fuji and others who saw this scene were all delighted, thinking that the game had come to an end.

"Don't think that this game is over."

However, Yuuki Maya spoke calmly at this time, and his words instantly extinguished the originally fiery emotions of Sanada and the others as if they were extinguished by cold sea water.

"But, doesn't the opponent have any way to deal with Ochi-senpai's Mach serve?" Marui Fumita asked puzzledly.

This sentence is not only his understanding, but also the common understanding between him and some people.

"Is there really no way? You will know if you keep watching."

Maya Yuuki did not explain too much, because all of this was told to him by his intuition, and he also believed that his intuition would not be wrong.

Then, just a few breaths after this brief exchange ended, Ochi's second serve began on the tennis court.

The starting action of the serve is still the same as before. Everyone can see that the opponent now wants to use Mach serve to completely end the game.

Toss the ball and draw the racket.

When Ochi swung his racket to hit the tennis ball, the ball disappeared again.

Most of the audience thought that this goal would be scored as easily as the previous one, but the next scene made them look extremely shocked.

Snapped

There was a dull sound of the racket colliding with the tennis ball, which meant that Ochi's Mach serve was received.

Countless eyes converged on the bottom line of the American team's half, and at this moment they also saw the person who caught the ball.

Chico Balentin

"It seems my luck is still as good as ever."

After fighting back, Chico said with a faint smile on his face.

"This guy can actually use his luck to this extent..."

Outside the court, Byodoin Phoenix's face was not looking good, because he knew very well that once Ochi Gekko's serve could not score, the direction of the game would no longer be completely under the control of the Japanese team.

Inside the court, the tennis ball came back, and although the two Japanese players were surprised that Mach's serve was received, they did not lose their composure, and Maori intercepted the return ball to stabilize the situation.

But at this moment, Mao Li's heart sank, because he knew very well that when his partner Ochi's serve failed to score, they were already at a disadvantage in this game.

Once they enter a tug-of-war, they will fall into a very passive situation just like in the previous few rounds.

"15-15, the American team scores."

After more than a dozen rounds, the outcome of the game was decided by a single goal. The result was as expected. Mao Li, who was still under the resonance of the opponent's ability, could not exert his full strength at all and could only lose the ball.

"Damn it! I didn't expect that I was the one holding them back..."

Pressing one hand on the shoulder joint, Mao Li endured the pain and once again forced his uncontrollable dislocated arm into place. He felt very regretful at this moment.

Because he overheard the conversation between the coaching staff and Ochi before the game, he knew that Ochi was currently one of the few players in the high school group of the training camp who was being paid attention to by the professional league.

It is very likely that after participating in this U17 World Championship, the opponent will receive an invitation and embark on the path of a professional tennis player.

This is also the reason why he played so hard in this game. He hoped that with the victory in this game, he could deepen the scouts' impression of Ochi Gekko.

But now, his disastrous performance is likely to affect his partner's subsequent career path, which is something he doesn't want to see at all.

"I absolutely cannot lose this match, even if it means losing these arms!"

Hisaburo Mori was determined in his belief and was ready to do his best for his friend's career path.

A moment later, in the Japanese team's half, Ochi, standing at the baseline, served again.

This time it was no longer Chico who was responsible for catching the ball, but Alan Hopkins.

Mach served again. In Ochi's opinion, Chico could use luck to receive his serve, but the other player would still not be able to counterattack.

Moreover, this time he also gave the tennis ball side spin while hitting it, using another form of Mach serve [Teleport].

But the next moment after the tennis ball was hit, Ochi's pupils shrank slightly.

Because in his sight, his serve was caught by Alan on the opposite side the moment it hit the ground and bounced back.

"What! Could it be that these two have already seen through Ochi-senpai's serve?!"

There were many people present who were also shocked that Alan was able to receive the serve, but the ones who could not accept this result the most were naturally Sanada and others in the preparation area.

"what's going on……"

Even Tokugawa Kazuya couldn't understand it. He just thought that even if Chico could use his luck to take on Mach, Alan would not be able to deal with it.

"There is only one explanation. That is, when the other party activated the ability resonance, Chico was able to bring luck to his partner. I can't think of a second possibility."

"What do you think, Byodoin?"

Yuuki Maya spoke calmly and stated his speculation.

At this moment, what the two people from the American team showed was completely beyond the information he knew in his memory, so he could only make deductions based on past experience.

"I'm afraid you're right. Apart from that, I can't think of any other possibilities at the moment."

After closing his eyes and thinking slightly, Byodoin quickly gave his own opinion. He agreed with Yuuki Maya's speculation.

However, this also means that all of Maori and Ochi's cards have been cracked by the American team, and they have reached a desperate situation where they have run out of tricks.

Fifteen minutes later, the referee blew the whistle again.

"The second set ended with a score of 7-5. The American team won the set."

Although Maori and Ochi had the match point, they were ultimately unable to go any further and ended the match, with the American team successfully dragging the game into the deciding set of the third set.
