Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 67: Topspin Serves and Topspin Serves Are Different (First Update)
Lin Bin had never watched a game so attentively before.

No, it should be that two or three seconds of video, which is repeatedly watched. Apart from the film and television industry analyzing a certain segment frame by frame, Lin Bin at this time may not be unique, but it is rare.

After all, at this moment, apart from him, all the other contestants were also studying Gu Cheng.

After confirming it again and again, Lin Bin finally looked up at Qi Yun with difficulty, asking, "Is...this true?"

Qi Yun nodded: "There was no post-production editing, and I was there during the match. To be honest, I can't believe it's real either, but it really is."

"At this point, not only you, but all the other contestants, at least those who thought they could make it into the top three, were probably studying this video, or rather, they were all staying in their hotels watching this anime."

"Gu Cheng is your next opponent, and your time is running out."

Lin Bin smiled wryly: "Couldn't you just say you were seeing things? Even a lie would have been fine! How am I supposed to fight like this?"

“I thought I was seeing things, and so did everyone else, but it was clearly not the case.”

Qi Yun's expression was somewhat serious: "To be honest, I haven't watched this anime. I won't comment on the topspin serve. Some professional players have played it, and maybe it's not that exaggerated, but it's still within my understanding."

"but……"

Qi Yun changed the subject, his eyes narrowing slightly: "That return shot called 'Swallow Return Flash' that doesn't bounce back clearly violates the laws of physics."

Lin Bin remained silent.

Indeed, the Swallow Returns to Strike violates the laws of physics, but... could it belong to the laws of two dimensions?
Lin Bin couldn't help but chuckle at his own sudden idea.

Seeing that Lin Bin remained silent, Qi Yun sighed: "You should study it carefully yourself. Even if you lose, at least don't lose too badly."

"I know it's really embarrassing to be shut out."

Lin Bin took a breath: "If Gu Cheng's ball follows the laws of two dimensions, then the Swallow Return Flash is not difficult to deal with. As long as you don't hit a topspin ball, you can block it. As for the outside spin serve, many solutions have been mentioned in the anime, but whether they will work or not, we'll have to try to find out."

"The law of two dimensions?" Qi Yun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly grasped the key point: "Is it really possible to not hit the topspin ball?"

"Have you heard of it?"

I've heard a little about it.

Qi Yun explained, "In fact, Hassan tried it during the match between Gu Cheng and Hassan, and he actually did it. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it seems to be true."

"In that case, breaking the topspin serve should also be no problem."

"The only thing to worry about is the boomerang, but as long as you can catch it, it's not too difficult to return it. The real problem is when the opponent suddenly hits one of those when you're at the net."

"That……"

Lin Bin spread his hands: "There's no solution."

"However, once I break his serve and return, it won't be so easy for him to beat me."

Qi Yun hesitated, then said, "Alright, since you know what you're doing, then think carefully about how to deal with tomorrow's match!"

"However, don't forget to watch the second game later too."

Qi Yun originally wanted to talk about the situation in the second game, but considering that it might put too much pressure on Lin Bin, he thought it would be better for Lin Bin to watch the game video himself.

Shaking his head, Qi Yun left Lin Bin's room.

the other side.

As the coach of another domestic player, Wu Fei couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Qi Yun emerge from Lin Bin's room looking completely lost.

Not only him, but everyone who knew Qi Yun felt some sympathy for him, or rather, for Lin Bin.

Qi Yun is having a really tough time. He finally managed to train a student with decent skills, and the student came here with great enthusiasm, aiming for the top three in the Australian Open wildcard tournament. But in the second round, he encountered someone who had learned magic.

Let alone Qi Yun.

In this situation, any coach would probably not be able to handle it.

I heard that Hassan's coach has gone to protest to the organizers. To be honest, many people are looking forward to this protest. If Gu Cheng's participation can be cancelled, it will greatly improve everyone's chances.

But the results that came out made everyone's hearts sink.

The organizers rejected Hassan and his coach's request and protest.

"Let's go, Qi Yun, let's go eat."

"If he stopped in the second round, so be it. For Lin Bin, this is actually a good training opportunity."

Qi Yun looked at the other person as if waking from a dream: "Lin Bin just told me that it's not difficult to counter Gu Cheng's ball skills. Hassan's performance is a good example of this..."

"You mean the second match between Gu Cheng and Hassan?" "Yes." Qi Yun nodded slightly, his brows furrowing with worry.

The other party also sighed.

He had watched Gu Cheng's second match against Hassan. Even without using those specific techniques, Gu Cheng could still completely dominate Hassan. This level of skill was unmatched even by the so-called 15-year-old American prodigy, Wellin White.

……

Time quickly passed to the second day of the competition.

The second round of men's and women's singles matches started in the morning.

Qi Yun arrived at the sidelines with a worried expression, while Lin Bin strode confidently onto the field. The two exchanged a glance.

"Coach, trust me."

What else could Qi Yun say?

The competition was about to begin, and he couldn't very well tell his student that he couldn't win, so he could only nod helplessly.

He was a little puzzled, though, wondering where his student got the courage!
He even suspected that the kid hadn't watched the video of Gu Cheng and Hassan's second match.

Qi Yun glanced at Lin Bin and saw his smiling face. His heart skipped a beat. Could this kid really not have seen it?

I was originally going to give him a heads-up, but then I thought, since it's going to be 2-0 whether I give him a heads-up or not, I might as well take this opportunity to teach this kid a lesson.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun calmly walked to the side and sat down.

Lin Bin walked onto the court carrying his racket and greeted Gu Cheng.

"Hello, my name is Lin Bin."

"Gu Cheng."

"I watched your match against Hassan. Your topspin serve and backhand flick were really amazing."

"Thank you."

"But I won't give up so easily."

"Ah."

After exchanging greetings, Gu Cheng got the first serve, while Lin Bin chose the opposite half of the court, where the sunlight wouldn't be too bright when looking up at that time of day.

But it's different for Gu Cheng.

Facing such a formidable opponent as Gu Cheng, Lin Bin dared not choose the court casually. Although the sunshine would not give him a significant advantage, it was better than nothing.

Gu Cheng returned to the baseline and began hitting the tennis ball.

Just as he was about to serve, Lin Bin suddenly raised his racket: "There's no need for any probing. Just serve with topspin. Hassan can't break it because he hasn't watched The Prince of Tennis, but I'm different."

Gu Cheng nodded; he hadn't intended to test them in the first place.

—Bang! Bang!

After hitting the tennis ball several times, Gu Cheng tossed the bounced ball high into the air and began to serve.

--call out!!
The tennis ball, spinning backwards, flew straight towards Lin Bin's face after landing.

"That really is an outside spin serve!"

Lin Bin licked his lips, his eyes filled with surprise but not panic at the sudden ball. He simply took a step back as expected, and at the same time, he slammed his racket into the tennis ball that had flown halfway up his waist.

The tennis ball made a crisp sound as it was enveloped by the racket.

Just as Lin Bin was about to hit the ball back with all his might, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The tennis ball, which was covered by the racket, was still spinning violently. Then, as if out of control, it broke free from the racket's restraint and flew to the side.

"I received the call... but I can't get it back?"

Lin Bin was completely stunned. He rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost and looked at Gu Cheng with a confused expression.

At that moment, Gu Cheng reached out and grabbed his racket, a faint smile on his face.

Not everyone can easily return an outside spin serve.

Can the topspin serve that Echizen used when he first entered Seigaku be the same as the topspin serve he used in the National Tournament?
