A realistic recreation of anime, and you call this tennis?

Most of the exaggerated special moves they had seen about Zhou Ran before were in short videos on mobile phones. The images were not only blurry but also very scattered.

Now that they were finally able to watch Zhou Ran's entire match, they naturally wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of cheating methods Zhou Ran used to perform those special moves.

On the court, when Zhou Ran was about to serve, Guan Lei suddenly shouted.

"Hey, Zhou Ran! Traitor! Deserter!"

"So you came to the Magic City after your cheating was exposed?"

"Just wait, I will definitely defeat you next time and let you know that cheating will not end well!"

Guan Lei was shouting "847" while his eyes were moving rapidly to hide his guilty conscience.

Of course he knew that Zhou Ran didn't cheat, but so what?

What he needs to do now is to show the audience in the neighboring city that his strength is not inferior to Zhou Ran.

So he had to bluff and show the netizens in the neighboring city that his strength was not inferior to Zhou Ran.

After saying this, he adjusted his posture to catch the ball and focused his attention on Zhou Ran.

The bluff was over, so the next thing he had to do was to find the right opportunity and deliberately get injured.

He thought it was a simple matter.

Isn't it just intentional injury?

You can easily fake a strain by pretending to slip while running.

At this time, Zhou Ran was preparing to serve quickly.

But then he discovered that something was not right with Guan Lei at this moment.

He learned from Zhao Qianguang that although Guan Lei had some strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to advance to the second round, so it was very likely that he had used some shady means.

So in Zhou Ran's impression, Guan Lei, who relied on unconventional means to enter the second round, should keep a low profile at this time.

Such arrogance is very abnormal!

More importantly, after Zhou Ran's body had been strengthened many times by the system, his eyesight had become extremely sharp, and his vision was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although he is far away from Guan Lei now, he can clearly see every detail of Guan Lei's body.

Just now, when he saw Guan Lei shouting arrogantly, the expression on his face was a little panicked, especially Guan Lei's eyes, which kept turning and glancing left and right while he was speaking.

Zhou Ran could only describe this look with the word "panicked".

Guan Lei acted very arrogant, but the details on his body showed that he was very panicked.

The combination of these two states made Zhou Ran feel that something was wrong with Guan Lei at this time.

So he slowed down his serve a little and thought quickly about why Guan Lei performed like that.

If Guan Lei's opponent had not been injured in the first round, Zhou Ran might not have been able to come up with the answer to the question in such a short time.

However, he soon figured out the reason why Guan Lei behaved so abnormally through Guan Lei's first round of competition.

That is, Zhou Ran thought that Guan Lei might become a deserter next. Guan Lei might pretend to be injured on purpose and withdraw from the competition early.

When Zhou Ran thought about this, he felt that his explanation was very reasonable.

Guan Lei had already made the decision to pretend to be injured and withdraw from the competition, which allowed him to act so arrogantly.

Anyway, the next game will not go to the end, so there is naturally no way to determine the winner according to the normal process.

Then even if Guan Lei was temporarily injured, he could show the outside world that his strength was not weak, but an accident had occurred.

"Haha, they are indeed father and son!"

After figuring it out, Zhou Ran sneered in his heart.

Like father, like son; if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked.

However, even though Zhou Ran figured this out, he didn't directly expose Guan Lei.

What he had thought before was that when competing with Guan Lei, he would use all the special skills he had used before.

On the one hand, he crushed Guan Lei in terms of score, and on the other hand, he proved to the audience in the neighboring city that he did not cheat.

But now he doesn't plan to use his previous trick.

With the previous moves, after he hit the tennis ball, Guan Lei still had a certain chance of hitting the tennis ball with his racket.

As long as Guan Lei's racket touched the tennis ball, Zhou Ran believed that Guan Lei would look for an opportunity to pretend to be injured.

Then, he would use some tricks that would make it absolutely impossible for Guan Lei to touch the tennis ball.

The first thing he needs to use is the invisible swing.

He had used this trick before, but it was when he challenged the representative player of Demon City.

At that time, not many people had seen this trick, and he had not used it many times before, so it was not satisfying.

Next, he will use this trick to warm up.

After making this decision, he gripped the racket with his right hand a little harder, secretly gathering strength in preparation for serving.

"Guan Lei, watch carefully. For this next shot, tell me which cheating method I should use to score it?"

Before preparing to serve, Zhou Ran did not forget to tease Guan Lei.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ran suddenly swung out with his right hand.

A perfect invisible swing was used.

It was the same as when he used this trick before, because this trick was too fast.

To others, all they could see was him throwing the tennis ball into the air to prepare for hitting it and standing still after serving.

This looked like Zhou Ran had simply thrown the tennis ball into the air and stood there without serving.

Because not many people had seen this trick before, the audience, both at the scene and in the live broadcast room, were all confused after seeing Zhou Ran's appearance.

"Hey, why doesn't Zhou Ran serve?"

"Is he afraid? He's afraid that his cheating methods will be exposed by us, so he plans to withdraw from the competition?"

"Hahaha, now I'm sure Zhou Ran is indeed the cheating contestant!"

"I suggest that Zhou Ran be expelled from Lincheng. I will cut ties with Zhou Ran first. Zhou Ran is not from Lincheng. Don't bring shame to Lincheng in the future!"

Because Zhou Ran was not seen serving, and after waiting for a while, Zhou Ran was still standing there, not moving.

This directly led the audience in the live broadcast room to mistakenly believe that Zhou Ran was scared and afraid of being exposed, so he was unwilling to serve and even had the idea of ​​withdrawing from the competition.

"That's it?"

"Hahaha, that's it?"

"Zhou Ran, where's your special move?"

"Why don't you use it and let me see it!"

"Believe it or not, I can fight back any of your special moves!"

Before Zhou Ran served, Guan Lei shouted at Zhou Ran. At that time, it was just for bluffing. He was still very panicked inside. After all, he knew that Zhou Ran's special moves were indeed very powerful.

But now, when he saw that Zhou Ran did not serve, he was first confused, and then excited.

He thought that Zhou Ran might have been intimidated by his bluff, or that Zhou Ran was in poor condition due to the overwhelming pressure from online public opinion and was unable to compete normally.

In short, when Guan Lei saw that Zhou Ran did not serve, he thought he had the advantage on the court.

This made him even more complacent.

He is definitely pretending to be injured, and there is no doubt that he will lose this game with a score of 2.2.

But if he first overwhelms Zhou Ran in momentum and then pretends to be injured to lose the game, public opinion after the game will be more favorable to him.

When everyone mistakenly thought that Zhou Ran did not serve, Yang Yiyi, who was sitting in a prime position on the sidelines and using her mobile phone to live broadcast the game, frowned and her face was full of questions.

She didn't notice Zhou Ran serving the ball just now.

Logically speaking, the tennis ball Zhou Ran threw into the air would either fall to the ground or be taken back into his hands.

But Yang Yiyi discovered that the tennis ball that was supposed to appear in Zhou Ran's half of the court was gone.

In Guan Lei's half of the court where there was no tennis ball before, there was now a tennis ball lying quietly.

And just now she heard the obvious sound of the racket hitting the tennis ball and the tennis ball falling to the ground.

All this shows that Zhou Ran did serve the ball just now, and the tennis ball was hit into Guan Lei's half of the court.

But she really didn't see Zhou Ran swinging his racket to hit the ball.

"What's happening here?"

Feeling somewhat conflicted, Yang Yiyi became increasingly confused.

Chapter 78: Make an exception! Enable high-speed cameras!

When Guan Lei on the court and the audience in the live broadcast room mistakenly thought that Zhou Ran did not serve, Zhou Ran looked somewhat helpless.

He forgot one thing, that is the invisible swing of the racket. Not only Guan Lei couldn't see it, but even the referee and the spectators on the sidelines couldn't see it.

When there was no professional equipment for live broadcast and replay, he had some difficulty in using this trick to make the audience realize that he had just served the ball.

Afterwards, Zhou Ran did not delay any further. He raised his racket and slowly pointed it at the tennis ball that he had just hit into Guan Lei's half of the court.

At first, everyone was confused about the purpose of Zhou Ran's action.

Then, everyone who was originally very excited suddenly began to quiet down.

Because they saw that what Zhou Ran was pointing at was the tennis ball in Guan Lei's half of the court.

The purpose of this action was very obvious. Zhou Ran wanted to let everyone see that he had not failed to swing the racket to hit the ball, but had already served the ball.

And that tennis ball was hit into Guan Lei's half of the court.

But how could the audience believe this kind of thing so easily?

"Hey, referee, speak up, who scored just now?"

"That's right, why is the referee so bad today? What's he doing?"

"This is the first time I've seen a referee staring blankly during a match!"

Although they had a vague feeling that Zhou Ran had just swung his racket to serve and scored, the audience was unwilling to believe that Zhou Ran could serve without them seeing.

So they were eager for the referee to give a clear result.

At this time, the referee, who was being criticized by the live broadcast room and the audience, was also helpless and confused.

He also wanted to announce the score on the field.

Moreover, he was just about to urge Zhou Ran to serve the ball, but he didn't see Zhou Ran make any serving move.

But when he saw the extra tennis ball in Guan Lei's half, he was very confused.

He couldn't figure out who scored.

However, the referee this time is obviously more professional and reliable than the previous ones.

He didn't understand what was happening on the court and quickly discussed it with the referee team.

After several minutes of discussion, the referee team made a decision that they would make an exception and use the big screen above the stadium in today's game.

The court in front of us is a professional court with complete equipment, enough to support the live broadcast of a top professional tennis match.

However, due to the rules of the competition, these devices do not need to be activated before the national competition, which caused the large screen above the stadium to remain black.

But things are different now.

In ordinary games, the referee can know what is happening on the court just by using his naked eyes.

However, just now Zhou Ran seemed to have served the ball, but also seemed not to have served the ball. The referee could only see the situation on the court clearly through his eyes.

In desperation, we can only rely on high-tech equipment.

After making this decision, the referee first contacted the event officials, and after obtaining their consent, he sent some professional behind-the-scenes directors.

After quick operations, the high-speed cameras that had been deactivated and the large screen above the stadium were put into operation quickly.

"Player Zhou Ran, I didn't see clearly what happened on the court just now. Could you please restart the game?"

"Every moment that follows will be captured by the high-speed camera. Don't worry, there will be no misjudgment!"
