Chapter 100 The Score is Tied

Chapter 192 The Score is Tied

"The fourth match begins. Please bring on the Yamabuki Doubles Team 1 and the Shitenhoji Doubles Team 1."

"Let's go, Dongfang, it's our turn."

Kentaro Minami stood up from the lounge chair, nodded to Aya Higashikata, picked up his racket, and walked straight toward the referee.

"Um."

A smile played on Dongfang Yamei's lips as she casually slung her racket over her shoulder and followed closely behind Nan Jiantaro.

This time, their opponents are the second-year doubles pair from Shitenhoji, Koharu Kondo and Yuji Ichiji.

"One game to decide the winner, South/Eastern serves."

"It's another unfamiliar doubles pair, and we don't know their true strength."

Looking at the awkward movements of Koharu and Yuuji, Masami Higashikata's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said with a serious expression.

Shitenhoji Temple has such a profound history that new talents are constantly emerging.

Yamabuki Middle School is completely different. Although they have some reserve players, their strength is a big problem. If they force those reserve players to play, it would basically be giving away points for nothing.

"No matter who our opponent is, we cannot afford to lose."

Kentaro Minami gripped his racket tightly and replied with a serious expression.

Yamabuki is currently trailing Shitenhoji 1-2 in the overall score. If they lose this match, they will have no chance of advancing.

"That's true."

Dongfang Yamei nodded solemnly, then turned around and walked towards the service area.

They absolutely cannot lose this match. Whether Yamabuki Middle School can advance smoothly depends on whether they have the opportunity to let Kagura Ichijin play.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Dongfang Yamei took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung her racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

After running to the ball's landing point, Jinse Xiaochun decisively swung her racket to meet the attack.

As a surge of force traveled up her arm, Jinse Xiaochun simply smiled, deftly flicked her wrist to reduce the ball's power with spin, and then quickly struck the ball.

"Bang!"

"15-0!"

After more than ten rounds, Kentaro Minami scored directly with a sharp baseline cross-court shot.

"Bang!"

IESI n

"Bang!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Yuji Ichiji actually imitated Kentaro Minami's hitting motion and hit an identical baseline passing shot.

"15-15!"

Is this a coincidence?

Kentaro Minami immediately frowned, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Yuji Ichiji's movements were exactly the same as his. If it weren't for the fact that the other person looked different from him, he would have almost thought that he had met another "himself".

"Bang!"

After taking a deep breath, Dongfang Yamei tossed the ball high into the air again and swung her racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

S EEEEE

"Bang!"

ES EE S

"Bang!"

"30-15!"

After more than twenty rounds, Dongfang Yamei hit the ball directly into the corner diagonally opposite.

"Bang!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Yuji Ichiji imitated Masami Higashikata's movements again, hitting the ball directly into the corner opposite.

"30-30!"

"Nan, did you see that? That person is imitating us."

Dongfang Yamei's expression grew increasingly solemn as she spoke in a deep voice.

The players from Shitenhoji are truly extraordinary, as can be seen from the recent back-and-forth battle. Although their fundamentals are not as good as theirs, their playing style is exceptionally flexible, and they even know how to use imitation to steal their advantages.

"Um."

Kentaro Minami nodded solemnly, his eyes growing increasingly deep.

There are very few junior high school students with the talent to imitate, let alone that the opponent mastered their hitting techniques in such a short time. It's incredible.

"So what should we do? Should we observe first or speed up the attack?"

Dongfang Yamei tightened her grip on the racket and asked directly.

Although they currently hold some initiative, no one knows how long it can last.

Not to mention the Golden Xiaochun on the other side, who always makes exaggerated movements, which is even more bizarre, always doing some inexplicable funny things on the field.

"Let's just intensify our offensive and widen the score gap in one fell swoop."

Kentaro Minami's eyes sharpened, and he subtly gave a signal to Yami Higashikata before turning around and walking to the baseline, assuming a defensive stance.

This is their service game, and they absolutely cannot lose it. No matter what tricks the opponent pulls, as long as they hold the initiative, their chances of winning are definitely higher than the opponent's.

"it is good."

Having received the coded message, Dongfang Yamei took a deep breath and walked straight to the service area.

"Bang!"

After serving again, Dongfang Yamei's expression became even more focused.

"Bang!"

gg■8g company "40-30!"

After a few rounds, Kentaro Minami scored directly with a powerful smash.

"Bang!"

After a few rounds, Dongfang Yamei suddenly rushed to the net and hit a volley.

"Game, South/East, 1-0!"

After successfully holding their serve, Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata breathed a sigh of relief.

The most difficult moment for them is over. Now they just need to keep their opponents firmly under control and gradually widen the score gap to win the game.

"Bang!"

Upon reaching the service court, Yuji Ichiji took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung his racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

"0-15!"

"0-30!"

"15-30!"

"15-40!"

"Game, South/East, 2-0!"

gg1 in the year ■

"Game, South/East, 3-0!"

"Game, South/East, 4-0!"

After his serve was broken again, Yuji Ichiji wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and his expression became much more serious.

They are now far behind in the score, and if they don't find a way to turn things around, they will really lose this game.

"Xiaochun, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Yuji Ichiji gripped his racket tightly, turned to look at Koharu Kondo beside him, and his voice carried a hint of urgency.

Although his imitations could continue to score, the teamwork between Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata was so seamless that they always came into play at the most crucial moments, which put him at a disadvantage and he could only watch helplessly as the score gap widened.

"That's enough, let's start our counterattack."

Jinse Xiaochun flicked her racket, replied calmly, and then walked straight to the receiving area, assuming a defensive stance.

The code tactics used by Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata were extremely complex, and even he found it difficult to figure out in a short time.

Fortunately, through continuous observation and data collection, he finally found some patterns.

"I knew you could do it."

Yuji Ichiji's face immediately lit up with joy, and a smile curved his lips.

Don't be fooled by Jinse Koharu's comical antics on stage; as her partner, he understands better than anyone the terror hidden beneath that mask.

As a super genius with an IQ exceeding 200, Jinse Xiaochun plays basketball with her brain; it's definitely not as simple as it looks.

"Bang!"

Walking to the service court, Dongfang Yamei took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung her racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

000008

"Bang!"

After a few rounds, Kentaro Minami hit another baseline through ball.

"Bang!"

Having anticipated this, Jinse Xiaochun ran ahead to the ball's landing point and cleanly hit the ball into the opposite corner.

"0-15!"

"I was right."

Jinse Xiaochun adjusted her glasses, smiled faintly, and her face was full of contentment.

Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata's coded tactics were indeed ingenious, greatly enhancing their teamwork.

Unfortunately, once this tactic is seen through, the so-called tacit understanding will become a fatal weakness.

"Bang!"

*Bang!*

"Bang!"

"0-30!"

"1530!"

"15-40!"

S NNNN口“Game, South/East, 4-1!”

"How is this possible?"

After their serve was broken, Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata looked at each other in shock and confusion.

Despite not making any changes, the opponent has been able to score frequently and has now taken the initiative, completely reversing the original one-sided situation.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Yuji Ichiji took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung his racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

"15-0!"

"30-0!"

"40-0!"

"40-15!"

"Game, South/East, 4-2!"

"Game, South/East, 4-3!"

"Game, South/East, 4-4!"

"Kagura, are Minami and Touhou going to lose?"

Watching from the sidelines, Kiyosumi Sengoku clenched her hands and asked with a worried expression.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata. If things continue like this, they may really be overturned by the odds.

"Probably not."

Kagura Ichijin crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and then firmly shook his head.

Koharu Kondo and Yuuji Ichiji are actually not much stronger than Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata. The fact that they are able to suppress Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata so tightly is purely by trickery.

If Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata can come to their senses, turning the situation around won't be too difficult.

"That's good."

Sengoku Kiyosumi breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked back at the arena.

Today, Yamabuki Junior High School would be fortunate enough to advance to the finals, otherwise he would be held responsible.

"Ugh!"

After letting out a deep sigh, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's instructions and began to check the five dimensions of Konjiro Koharu and Ichiji Yuuji.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Dongfang Yamei tossed the ball high into the air and swung her racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

BBESSE

"Bang!"

EM EEN

"Bang!"

After a few rounds, Dongfang Yamei suddenly rushed to the net and hit a volley.

"Bang!"

Having anticipated this, Jinse Xiaochun ran to the ball's landing point again, flicked her wrist, and easily hit the ball into the other corner.

"015!"

"Nan, did you notice? That guy with glasses seems to know what we're going to do."

Seeing that the opposing team's Koharu Kondo was still making funny gestures after scoring, Dongfang Yamei's expression became increasingly suspicious.

The national competition really has all kinds of players. It was lucky that the opponent's physical condition was not strong, otherwise this match would have been really uncertain.

"Hmm, it seems the code-based tactic is no longer viable, but that's alright, we still have the goose formation."

Kentaro Minami wiped the beads of sweat from his chin, a bitter smile of relief spreading across his face.

This was the first time he had encountered a player on the field who could see through his coded tactics, but fortunately, he and Dongfang Yamei still had some trump cards up their sleeves, so they weren't completely helpless.

All they need to do now is end the game as soon as possible, so as not to give their opponents a chance to adapt.

"it is good."

Dongfang Yamei gripped her racket tightly, took a deep breath, and walked back to the service court.

"Bang!"

After serving the ball again, Dongfang Yamei carefully observed her opponent.

"Bang!"

"15-15!"

After more than ten rounds, Kentaro Minami scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"Bang!"

After more than ten rounds, Dongfang Yamei suddenly rushed to the net and hit a short ball.

"30-15!"

"They've actually changed their tactics."

After losing points in a row, Jinse Xiaochun's face immediately darkened, and she became anxious.

Now is a critical moment; whoever seizes the initiative will have a greater chance of winning.

The fact that the other side would abandon the code signal tactic at this time clearly indicates that they are going all in, and we cannot just stand by and watch.

After securing their serve again with a solid foundation and a well-defined attacking formation, Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata exchanged a glance and both smiled with relief.

After reaching the service area, Jinse Xiaochun took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung her racket forcefully.
