The Prince of Tennis: From Data-Driven Tennis to the Pinnacle of His Career

Chapter 84 Taking the Advantage

"Kagura, are Akutsu alright?"

Watching the intense situation on the field from the sidelines, Sengoku Kiyosumi turned to look at Kagura Ichijin beside him with some concern.

This match is crucial; whoever wins will gain the upper hand.

Although there are still characters like Tani Yoshiki Shin, Ishimaru Kanto, and Kagura Ichijin who haven't appeared yet, if Akutsu Jin loses, Yamabuki will be pushed to the edge of a cliff with no room for maneuver.

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

After thinking for a moment, Kagura Ichijin said with certainty.

Akutsu Jin is clearly holding back; the reason the match is so close right now is simply because Akutsu Jin isn't using his full strength.

"It's good that we can win."

Sengoku Kiyosumi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Akutsu's opponent this time is indeed formidable, possessing both excellent physical attributes and comprehensive technical skills.

However, since Kagura Ichijin thinks so highly of Akutsu Jin, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

If Jin Akutsu wins this match, then Yamabuki will basically have a guaranteed win against Saint Icarus.

"Actually, the opponent wasn't strong; they just had excellent physical attributes."

Kagura Ichijin took the opportunity to explain.

These players who returned from overseas do have a very solid foundation and their physical development is better than their peers, but their playing style is somewhat rigid and lacks flair.

If you encounter an opponent with significant weaknesses, you can naturally rely on your strength to be invincible.

However, if you encounter an opponent with equally good fundamentals and physical abilities, the fight will be extremely difficult.

After silently reciting the system's name, Kagura Ikjin began to examine Davis's five dimensions.

Davis (Grade 3 of Junior High)

Speed: 3.5

Power: 3.5

Stamina: 3.5

Spirit: 2

Technology: 3

Total: 15.5

"Bang!"

After serving again, Davis gripped his racket tighter and looked at Akutsu Jin with a serious expression.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"0-15!"

……

"0-30!"

……

"15-30!"

……

"30-30!"

……

"30-40!"

……

"40-40!"

……

"40—AD!"

……

"40-40!"

……

"AD-40!"

……

"Game, Davis, 3-2!"

……

"Game, Davis, 3-3!"

……

"Game, Davis, 4-3!"

……

"Game, Davis, 4-4!"

"Bang!"

After tossing the ball high into the air, Davis swung his racket again quickly.

The match has entered a heated phase, with both sides neck and neck.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"0-15!"

After more than twenty rounds, Jin Akutsu scored directly with a baseline through ball.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"0-30!"

After another twenty or so rounds, Jin Akutsu rushed to the net and scored again with a volley.

"Bang!"

After taking a deep breath, Davis served again.

Although he was temporarily behind in the score, he remained calm.

This has happened several times in this match, and he believes that Akutsu Jin will do the same thing as before, revealing his weakness out of impatience and thus creating an opportunity for him.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"15-30!"

This point lasted for more than seventy rounds, and both sides were rapidly losing their stamina.

In the end, Davis ended this long tug-of-war with a brilliant net shot.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"15-40!"

After more than eighty rounds, Akutsu Jin not only showed no signs of fatigue, but became even more courageous, scoring directly with a powerful smash.

"hateful!"

As he watched Akutsu Jin's playing style become increasingly composed and his eyes increasingly sharp, Davis's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Aren't you going to serve? Are you trying to wear me down any longer?"

Akutsu Jin looked at Davis calmly, his tone tinged with sarcasm.

After such a long tug-of-war, he has found his own problem.

The closer it gets to the crucial moment, the more he wants to take the initiative to find opportunities to attack.

While this idea is not wrong, in the eyes of an experienced opponent, it is tantamount to deliberately exposing a weakness.

"snort!"

Davis snorted, walked to the service area, took a deep breath, and served again.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

After more than a hundred rounds, Akutsu Jin seized the opportunity and scored directly with a powerful spin shot.

"Game, Davis, 4-5!"

After successfully breaking Davis's serve, Jin Akutsu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has now taken the initiative. As long as he stays calm and holds his serve, he will definitely win the match.

"boom!"

After tossing the ball high into the air, Jin Akutsu leaped into the air and swung his racket forcefully.

"Go back!"

This time, Davis was prepared. He lunged forward without regard for his image and actually managed to block the ball back with his racket.

"Bang!"

Akutsu Jin, who had just landed, reacted extremely quickly, running towards the tennis ball that had not yet fallen, and then jumped without hesitation, decisively using a smash.

"15-0!"

"Luckily, it was a high ball."

After successfully scoring, Akutsu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect Davis to actually be able to catch that kind of ball. If the return hadn't been so poor that it turned into a high lob, the shot would have been in real danger.

"boom!"

After serving the ball again, Jin Akutsu saw Davis running quickly toward the ball's landing point.

"Bang!"

After barely managing to catch the ball, Davis used the momentum to swing his racket quickly.

"15-15!"

"They actually scored?"

Davis was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

His return shot wasn't very good, and I thought it would be returned directly by Akutsu Jin, but he actually scored.

It seems that Jin Akutsu's serve has a major flaw. As long as he can receive the ball and avoid hitting a high lob, Jin Akutsu simply won't have time to return it.

"It seems we can't use this serve anymore."

Jin Akutsu sighed inwardly, then tossed the ball high into the air again and hit a high-speed shot.

"You're afraid to use it now? That suits me perfectly!"

After easily returning the ball, Davis smiled slightly, and hope rekindled in his eyes.

Without that terrifyingly powerful serve, Akutsu Jin's threat level dropped dramatically.

All he needs to do next is break Akutsu Jin's serve, and he can regain the initiative.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"
