#271 - End, second game
On the court, the match continued.
The evolved Shiraishi kept scoring!
In the blink of an eye, he won a game.
"Game, Team Japan, score: 2-2!"
The referee's voice rang out.
"Perfect!"
Kuranosuke Shiraishi raised his hand above his head in a victory pose.
"Perfect!"
"Perfect!"
"Perfect!"
The audience in the entire stadium shouted along.
At this moment, Kuranosuke Shiraishi had completely entered his zone.
"Alright, Shiraishi, keep attacking!"
Irie Kanata said calmly.
"Okay!"
Kuranosuke Shiraishi was already in his defensive stance.
Just then.
Balther's tennis ball passed directly between the two, bouncing off the wall behind them.
"15-0!"
"30-0!"
"Indeed, very perfect."
Balther smiled and said, "But we are flawless!"
After saying that, the two struck various poses again.
Then the match continued.
The atmosphere on the court became increasingly tense.
"It's really strange."
Camus said lightly while watching the match, "I don't know when, but those four have completely forgotten about posing."
On the court.
The four players no longer needed the cheers and applause of the audience.
All they wanted was the desire to win!
Everyone's mental state was highly focused.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi's Star Bible became more and more proficient during the match.
Irie Kanata also cooperated with him to play various effective tennis balls!
"Game, Team Japan, score: 3-3!"
"Game, Team France, score: 4-4!"
"Game, Team France, score: 5-5!"
"Game, Team Japan, score: 6-6!"
The referee announced.
At this time, the four were already panting, their clothes soaked in sweat.
"Kanata, I want to thank you for such a long-awaited and exciting match!"
Balther said after returning a ball.
The tennis ball generated a powerful explosive force the moment it touched the racket, flying out like a sharp blade.
"Balther, be careful not to let us catch you off guard, or we'll make you fail in an instant."
Irie Kanata pushed up his glasses and said, "See, just like I said."
Balther and Moreau's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Kuranosuke Shiraishi ran rapidly from the other side of the court towards the landing point!
At the instant the tennis ball bounced, he jumped up along with the tennis ball, aimed at the ball and slammed it down!
Bang! A deafening sound of hitting the ball suddenly rang out, and the tennis ball turned into a powerful cannonball, bursting out!
A wisp of visible blue smoke filled the tennis ball's trajectory, the sound of tearing through the air kept ringing, and the airflow brought up a crackling sound.
The tennis ball instantly crossed the net and smashed towards Moreau's open court!
Balther knew that if he lost this point, he would not win later!
In an instant of thought, the whole person disappeared in place.
Behind the landing point, he aimed at the tennis ball and lightly sliced it over the net with a turn of the racket.
At this moment.
The tennis ball was very light, but it was only enough to cross the net.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi's distance was already beyond remedy, and Irie Kanata's position at this time also made it impossible to swing!
But.
Irie Kanata, who usually only played elegant tennis, rushed to the net at this time, and pounced out at the instant when the distance was not enough!
Just right, the racket hit the tennis ball at this moment.
But the power was still a little too small.
Now it was completely up to the goddess of fate.
"Cross the net!"
Irie Kanata's tone became a little heavier.
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen Kanata like this!"
Atsukyo Tono was surprised to see this scene.
But, the tennis ball still didn't cross the net.
"Game over, Team France wins, score 7-6!"
The referee's voice rang out.
"Wow wow wow wow!"
"Team Japan!"
"Team France!"
"So handsome, the two handsome guys from Team Japan!!"
"Fashion show! Great!!"
"I didn't expect this match to be so exciting!"
The emotions of the audience immediately exploded, and the sound was about to overturn the entire stadium.
Then.
The four walked to the net and shook hands.
"If it wasn't for luck favoring us."
Balther smiled and said, "We would really be turned upside down by you guys."
"Although I don't want to lose as a representative team player, there's nothing I can do about it."
Irie Kanata pushed up his glasses and said.
"Also, you're really amazing."
Balther said to Kuranosuke Shiraishi, "A player like you will definitely shine in the future."
"Thank you, I will definitely work hard!"
Kuranosuke Shiraishi smiled.
"Then let's do one last show."
Balther said lightly.
Moreau also nodded.
The four looked at each other and smiled, striking a pose at the end of the match, causing cheers from the entire stadium!
Then both sides returned to their teams.
"Sorry, we still couldn't win the match."
Kuranosuke Shiraishi showed a look of guilt.
"Sorry."
Irie Kanata pushed up his glasses, no one saw his expression,
"Go and rest."
Byodoin Hōō said plainly.
Then, he looked at Mori Juzaburo and Renji Yanagi.
"Is it finally my turn to play?"
Juzaburo Mori stretched lazily and said lazily, "I thought I wouldn't be playing."
"Mori-senpai, please be serious."
Renji Yanagi grabbed his racket and walked towards the court.
"Okay."
Juzaburo Mori walked towards the court with a smile on his face.
This kind of attitude, in anyone's eyes, didn't seem like he was going to play a match.
It always felt like he couldn't get motivated and was going to start slacking off again.
Moreover, it gave people the feeling that he was going to the court to play a game, without any sense of seriousness.
"Is Mori-senpai okay like that?"
Akaya Kirihara asked doubtfully.
"Mori-senpai's personality is like that."
Seiichi Yukimura smiled and said, "He'll be fine after he gets on the court."
Tsukimitsu Ochi also nodded.
The people from the former Rikkaidai and the first string team were very clear about Juzaburo Mori's personality.
Although he liked to slack off very much, his tennis strength was definitely that of a strong player.
At the same time.
In the French team.
"A very exciting match."
Camus said with a faint smile, "Rest first."
"Thank you, team leader!"
Balther and Moreau said in unison.
"Team leader, it's my turn to play, right!"
Delacroix walked out of the team.
"That's right, tennis will definitely guide you to victory."
Camus nodded and smiled.
"Delacroix, wait... wait for me."
George walked out of the team at this time, feeling very timid.
"Walk faster."
Delacroix said a little fiercely, but still waited for George to walk onto the court together.
On the court.
The four faced each other at the net.
The two sides were silent for a while and walked back to the baseline.
"Delacroix, can I really do it?"
George asked worriedly as he returned to the baseline.
"You talk too much, do what you need to do."
Delacroix gently patted George's forehead and said.
"Got it."
After saying that, George walked nervously to the baseline.
"Match start, one game, Renji Yanagi's serve!"
The referee announced.
