The result of the coin toss was quickly announced, and according to the result, the first game was Chen Anxia's service game.
After the service game was decided, Chen Anxia and Fuji Syusuke returned to their respective receiving areas and stood in place, which meant that the match had officially begun.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
......
Amidst the sounds of tennis rackets hitting the ground, Chen Anxia's mind conjured up the data model of the Bullet Serve (Takeshi Momoshiro version).
The next moment, Chen Anxia's movements gradually synchronized with the movements of the data model.
If anyone could see this scene, they would know that Chen Anxia was replicating the data model in his mind.
While Fuji Syusuke, who was on the opposite side of the court, couldn't see the data model in Chen Anxia's mind, he still noticed something from Chen Anxia's posture and movements. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand gripping the racket tightened suddenly.
On the sidelines, Takeshi Momoshiro's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, and he muttered, "This pose is..."
Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu, who was preparing to collect and record data, muttered softly, "If Chen Anxia wants to score with Momoshiro's ultimate combination technique without ever using his second move, he's going to be disappointed..."
Sadaharu Inui's words were overheard by Satoshi Horio, Katsuro Kato, and Katsuo Mizuno, who were not far away.
Out of curiosity, Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuro, and Mizuno Katsuo approached Inui Sadaharu and asked, "Inui-senpai, why did you say that? Why was An Natsu disappointed?"
"Could it be that Fuji Syusuke is able to withstand Momoshiro-senpai's ultimate combination attack?"
In response, Inui Sadaharu neither hid nor pointed it out directly. He simply reached out and gently pushed up the frame of his glasses, saying, "You should all keep watching."
"Soon you will be able to witness the terror of the genius Fuji Syusuke!"
Upon hearing this, Satoshi Horio, Katsuro Kato, and Katsuo Mizuno all turned their gazes toward the arena.
At this moment, Chen Anxia had already hit the bullet serve, a style reminiscent of Takeshi Momoshiro's.
Naturally, with Chen Anxia's current strength, he can only unleash 60% of the power of Momoshiro Takeshi's bullet serve.
Chen Anxia also wanted to use this opportunity to test Fuji Syusuke's strength and determine the strategy for dealing with him.
Facing this fierce ball, Fuji Syusuke showed no fear or hesitation. He simply held his racket with one hand and delivered a powerful blow to meet the incoming ball.
The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, Fuji Syusuke's brow furrowed slightly.
Fuji Syusuke could sense that Chen Anxia's bullet serve was much weaker than Momoshiro Takeshi's.
Fuji Syusuke doesn't yet understand why this is happening.
However, Fuji Syusuke knew that with his current strength, he could perfectly return this bullet serve without hitting a lob.
However, Fuji Syusuke did not do that, and instead pretended to struggle as he hit a high lob.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd on the sidelines, Chen Anxia leaped high into the air to meet the lob shot.
Then, just like a slam dunk, he raised his racket high, aimed at the incoming ball, and delivered a powerful smash.
Seeing this, someone couldn't help but excitedly exclaim, "It's happening! An Xia's crouching spike!"
Seeing this, the regular members of Seigaku on the sidelines whispered in unison, "It's happening! One of the triple return shots, the Brown Bear, is in the net!"
...
Chapter 271 Triple Return Shot: Swallow's Flash!
When Chen Anxia was executing his crouching smash, his eyes never left Fuji Syusuke.
Fuji Syusuke arrived at the landing point a step ahead, and facing the crouching smash, he suddenly turned his body, like a roc spreading its wings, and his racket drew a beautiful arc, intercepting the crouching smash before it landed.
The next moment, in everyone's eyes, the ball turned into a golden light, with a beautiful arc, and was tossed high into the air, landing in Chen Anxia's backcourt, who had already come to the net and had no time to return to defend.
boom!
"0-15!"
Upon seeing this, the referee on the sidelines couldn't help but loudly announce.
As the referee announced the verdict, the stunned crowd gradually came to their senses, and in the next moment, one after another, exclamations of disbelief rang out.
"What was that shot just now? It was unbelievable!?"
"Fuji-senpai actually caught King's crouching smash, it's unbelievable!"
"Exactly, Fuji-senpai looks so frail, how could he have such great strength?"
"Fuji-senpai is amazing, really amazing!"
"Is this the genius Fuji Syusuke? He's truly amazing!"
"Another incredible skill!"
"Just how many incredible tennis techniques are there in the game 'The Prince of Tennis'?"
......
Naturally, most of these exclamations came from newborns.
Since most of the ordinary club members in the second and third years had witnessed Fuji Syusuke's brown bear being captured, they wouldn't be so shocked.
On the other side, Inoue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after seeing this scene, "Is this the Brown Bear Net, one of the triple return shots created by the genius Fuji Syusuke? It's truly a return shot that should not be underestimated!"
Upon hearing this, Shiba Saori was shocked and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, do you know the principle behind the brown bear's net trap? Why can that posture receive such a powerful smash like a crouching smash?"
Upon hearing this, Inoue's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he replied, "In my opinion, it should be related to centrifugal force..."
Upon hearing Inui Sadaharu's words, Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuro, and Mizuno Katsuo couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment and confusion, "Centrifugal force!?"
Knowing their confusion, Inui Sadaharu explained, "The brown bear's capture uses the principle of using minimal force to achieve maximum effect; in physics terms, it's FT=MV."
"That is, by rotating the racket itself, the contact time between the racket and the ball is extended, and the centrifugal force of the rotation is used to convert the opponent's force into one's own force, so that one can return a powerful smash with less force."
"While the theory of the brown bear net is simple, in practice, it requires seizing that fleeting opportunity, making it a very difficult return shot."
"Only a genius like Fuji could create and perfectly execute it."
Upon hearing Inui Sadaharu's words, several large question marks appeared above the heads of Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuro, and Mizuno Katsuo.
They really wanted to ask, is the theory behind the brown bear's capture really that simple? Then why can't they understand it?
However, although they couldn't understand it, they knew one thing: a brown bear getting caught in the net was a remarkable return shot.
On the court, Chen Anxia looked at the tennis ball behind him, which had stopped rolling, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Then Chen Anxia looked at Fuji Syusuke, who was facing her, with an unprecedentedly serious expression on his face.
Based solely on Fuji Syusuke's recent capture of the brown bear, Chen Anxia knew that Fuji Syusuke was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.
Chen Anxia knew that, in his current state, he was simply no match for the brown bear's capture.
In Chen Anxia's hazy memory, he vaguely remembered that besides the brown bear being caught, Fuji Syusuke also had two other types of return shots.
As for Tezuka Kunimitsu, with whom he had previously faced off...
Well, that wasn't an official match, and Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't use his full power at all, so it doesn't count.
Meanwhile, in Chen Anxia's mind, a data model for the capture of the brown bear had begun to take shape, and its current completion rate was...25%!
The game continues.
Under the watchful eyes of the spectators, Chen Anxia once again unleashed a combination of a bullet serve and a crouching smash, which Fuji Syusuke once again netted with a brown bear.
A similar scene played out twice more afterward.
boom!
"Fuji-senpai wins this game, 0-1. It's Fuji-senpai's turn to serve in the next game!"
After the referee's announcement, the spectators began to stir.
Among the spectators, some were puzzled, wondering why Chen Anxia had lost four points to Fuji Syusuke in the same way.
In their view, Chen Anxia could have simply refrained from hitting a smash to prevent Fuji Syusuke's brown bear from falling into the net.
Saori Shiba, a professional tennis reporter, was also puzzled by this and couldn't help but ask Inoue for an explanation.
However, Inoue couldn't figure out Chen Anxia's intentions either, and could only guess, "Perhaps Chen Anxia wanted to break the Brown Bear's trap, which is why he kept hitting smashes..."
Among the spectators, only Inui Sadaharu and Momoshiro Takeshi noticed something; the former quickly jotted something down, while the latter looked thoughtful.
As for Fuji Syusuke, he was hitting a tennis ball while staring at Chen Anxia, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Under these circumstances, Fuji Syusuke served.
While Fuji Syusuke's serve is considered excellent among junior high school students, it pales in comparison to Chen Anxia's bullet serve.
Chen Anxia easily received Fuji Syusuke's serve.
Whether by coincidence or not, Chen Anxia's return shot was a topspin ball.
Seeing this, Fuji Syusuke's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Facing the powerful topspin ball, he suddenly hit a high-speed forehand slice shot, directly returning the ball.
Immediately, all the freshmen present seemed to have witnessed an unbelievable scene and were deeply moved.
As expected, Fuji Syusuke's ball, after entering Chen Anxia's court, did not bounce up as usual. Instead, it spun intensely on the ground before flying away from the court, skimming the ground.
If I had to describe it, this ball would be like a swallow gracefully and lightly flying close to the ground.
As for the ordinary second and third-year club members watching the game, although they had seen Fuji Syusuke use this skill before, they couldn't help but be moved when they saw it again.
Some of them couldn't help but exclaim, "It's here! Fuji-senpai's Swallow Return Flash, one of his triple return shots!"
Inui Sadaharu looked at the ball, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He gently pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Did you see that?"
"This is the so-called genius... Fuji Syusuke!"
Meanwhile, Horio Satoshi, Kato Katsuro, and Mizuno Katsuo were already dumbfounded.
......
Chapter 272 Chen Anxia's Declaration, the Real Competition Begins!
The players, including Shunichi Ogawa, who were watching from the sidelines, were completely dumbfounded after seeing Fuji Syusuke's Swallow Return Flash.
While the capture of the brown bear was unbelievable, the visual effect was still acceptable to players like Shunichi Ogawa.
