The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 152 Doubles, Qian; Secretly Developing

Originally, Inui Sadaharu thought that even though Yamabuki lost their doubles match 2, Yamabuki had no chance of winning, but if he and Aaron could win a game, losing 3-1 to Hyotei in the final would be much better than being swept 3-0 by Hyotei.

result----

With heavy hearts, Inui Sadaharu and Kawamura Takashi walked into the stadium.

In response, Oishi and Kikumaru of Hyotei said that they also wanted to play in the finals, but they couldn't because they lost to Oshitari & Saito before.

Soon, the pre-match handshake began.

There was no pre-match interaction this time; the four of them simply shook hands.

The moment the four clasped hands, a tremendous roar of cheers erupted from the stands once again: "The winner will be Hyotei! The loser will be Yamabuki!"

"Hyotei will win! Yamabuki will lose—!!"

"Oshitari! Oshitari! Saito! Saito! Press the attack!!"

Meanwhile, off the field, members of the Yamabuki Junior High school team spontaneously chanted, "Go Inui! Go Kawamura!"

Although they had heard Inui's analysis in the meeting room, and they knew clearly that after losing the doubles match just now, it was almost impossible for Yamabuki to win. However, as the saying goes, even if you lose the game, you can't lose the battle.

Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata, hoping to make up for their previous loss, shouted even louder.

"Click, click, click!"

Over there, Mamoru Inoue was snapping photos of this unique scene again, and he seemed to be taking more photos this time than the last.

As Inoue Mamoru looked at the photo, he thought to himself:

He's filmed so many inter-school matches, but only Hyotei's has such a sense of ceremony.

Not only were there cheers before and after the match, but they were also so well-organized. It's no wonder that the tennis club is under Kamiya's rule; they're on a completely different level from other teams.

At that moment, on the court, the assistant referee walked to the side of the net with a tennis racket in hand. His gaze shifted between Sadaharu Inui and Yuushi Oshitari for a moment before finally choosing to ask the tall, thin, bespectacled Sadaharu Inui, who was standing next to Yamabuki.

"Which one?"

Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses, and without much thought, randomly chose one: "smooth".

"7

Upon hearing this, the referee placed the racket face down on the ground, then exerted force with his right hand and spun it sharply. The racket immediately began to spin rapidly like a top, and the metal frame rubbed against the ground, making a "shush" sound.

Then, with a crisp "thud," the racket hit the ground, vibrated twice, and then stopped completely. At this point, the mark at the end of the handle was clearly in the right direction.

Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses. Actually, he felt it didn't matter who served first, since the Hyotei Oshitari and Saito combination was probably stronger than the Sengoku and Akutsu combination.

In other words, unfortunately, his win rate against Aaron is 0.

Sadaharu Inui was entangled in the cold, cruel data, but in his ears he heard, "Inui, let them see how powerful we are!" Kawamura Takashi picked up his racket, his mind completely blank of the probability of winning or losing, and said with great enthusiasm.

"Let's serve first then." Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses. At this moment, he changed his mind. Since he couldn't win, he might as well enjoy the game.

Soon, the match officially began, with Inui Sadaharu and Kawamura Takashi serving first. Kawamura Takashi served first, holding the tennis ball, his whole state of mind was very high. Without any hesitation, he directly served a burning serve. Although he didn't take Inui Sadaharu's talk about the probability of winning or losing to heart (he didn't have much psychological pressure or a heavy feeling), he rationally knew that only by using his strongest serve could he have any hope of scoring.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball seemed to ignite the air, striking precisely the inside corner of the corresponding service court in front of Yuji Oshitari.

On the other side, Yuushi Oshitari's expression remained unchanged as he watched the incoming ball. Although he felt that he and Saito-senpai could easily overwhelm the other side, and that Kawamura's ball was less oppressive than the vice-captain's and captain's, he still did not let his guard down and directly chose to return the ball with a slice. Although Kawamura Takashi's strength was slightly above average compared to his other stats, he was only a first-year middle school student whose development was not yet complete. Even in his burning serve state, his current strength was only 3. Therefore, when Yuushi Oshitari used a slice, he only felt that the ball was a little heavy, but he could return it easily.

Well, how should I put it? Although his strength is indeed quite good for a first-year student, unfortunately—he still lacks a bit of experience.

As Yuushi Oshitari made his decision in an instant, his arm steadily completed the cutting motion.

Kawamura Takashi's burning serve was tamed by him with almost no resistance, and became a sharp sword piercing its original owner!

"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew back to the right baseline of Kawamura Takashi like a precise scalpel. Although the ball landed not too far from where Kawamura Takashi was, the ball's speed was too fast for Kawamura Takashi to reach.

The ball flew out without any obstruction, just hovering at the corner of the baseline.

This time, however, the referee did not announce the score. The head referee, sitting high in the referee's chair, said that the ball was too tricky, and although it was very fast, it was not powerful enough to leave a ball mark. Although it was probably in bounds, after all, Hyotei's No.4 player should have a very good ball control level, out of respect for his refereeing profession and just in case, the head referee still chose to review the video and slow it down.

Yes, within the zone.

That was a perfect shot right on the line! The Hyotei players are all incredibly skilled, the referee exclaimed. He then announced, "Yushi Oshitari & Shu Saito score! 0-15!"

Over there, Kawamura Takashi switched service courts and continued with his burning serve, but he couldn't get a point from Oshitari and Saito on his first attempt, let alone on the second or third time.

In short, Kawamura Takashi's serve was easily won by the Hyotei duo. Given that Inui Sadaharu and Kawamura Takashi are currently at different regional levels (one regional level, the other below), Oshitari and Saito easily pushed the score to 3-0, 15. However, despite the dire situation and the one-sided nature of the game, Inui Sadaharu didn't give up. He secretly developed his skills and collected data. Like a scanner, he meticulously scanned Oshitari Yuushi and Saito Shu's swing angles, serving habits, and preferred handling of different balls, inputting all this data into his mind. Now, Inui Sadaharu had finally collected all of Oshitari and Saito's current data—well, only the data they had shown so far. In short, Inui Sadaharu had a premonition that the two Hyotei players still had hidden strength/data, but this was actually a good thing for him and Ayaka. A glint of light flashed in Inui Sadaharu's pupils behind his glasses, because—
