Chapter 203: The Contest Has Just Begun (For "Galan")
I didn't find it just now, but it wasn't until now that Takeshi Momojo found out that Chen Anxia was holding a wooden tennis racket in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise, and at the same time, his heart became a lot more solemn, and he condensed in his heart, "This kid, it's not simple~"
Similar to the game of Go, the game of tennis is also based on guessing who will serve first.
Generally, the amateur game is that one of them spins the racket, the other person chooses the front and back of the racket logo, and the person who turns the racket automatically rotates the other side, and the person who guesses the winner has the right to choose who serves first, either by himself or by letting the opponent serve first.
And it is the method of the game that the referee tosses a coin and lets a player guess the head and back to decide, and the winner has the right to choose who will serve first.
Now Chen Anxia is playing against Takeshi Taocheng, it is Takeshi Taocheng who reshoots, Chen Anxia guessed the opposite, and the result of the reshoot is also the opposite, Chen Anxia did not hesitate to choose to serve first.
The match was refereed by Satoshi Horio, who claimed to have two years of tennis experience, and everyone else stepped back to the sidelines, ready to watch the match.
At the same time, several more people came outside the tennis court, two of whom were editors and reporters of the monthly tennis magazine, Inoue and Saori Shiba, who were often featured in anime.
The other two are naturally Sakurano Ryuzaki and Tomoka Kosakata, who lead the way for Inoue and Shibasa.
"Oh, I'm so lucky, I didn't expect there to be a game~" After the editor-in-chief Inoue came to the tennis court, he was a little surprised to see the two people who were going to play in the tennis court.
The reason why the monthly tennis magazine came to Qingxue this time is to collect information on student tennis, and it plans to open a column about student tennis.
Originally, the editor-in-chief Inoue was a little disappointed when he learned from Coach Ryuzaki that none of the main players were there, but now this scene can be regarded as an unexpected joy, which is better than not collecting any materials.
"Ah, Inoue-senpai, look at that young man, not the one who made a fuss some time ago~" Shiba Saori seemed to notice something at this time, and looked at Chen Anxia and couldn't help but exclaim.
Only then did Inoue take a closer look at Chen Anxia's face, and he couldn't help but show a shocked look on his face, "Chen Anxia, the number one chess god in history, why did he come here to play tennis?" ”
As a media person, even if it is not the news on their own side, of course Inoue and Shiba Saori will still know about the existence of Chen Anxia, there is no way, the birth of the first chess god has too much impact.
"Ah, it's the prince~" Kosakata Tomoka also discovered Chen Anxia's existence, and couldn't help but feel a little.
Ryuzaki Sakurano also saw Chen Anxia, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, but soon, Ryuzaki Sakurano found Echizen Ryoma watching the game on the side, and couldn't help but shout softly, "Echizen Ryoma, why is he there~"
"Echizen Ryoma? Who is it? Kosakata Tomoka on the side couldn't help but ask with some curiosity when she heard this, and then looked at Ryuzaki Sakurano's line of sight.
This look couldn't help but make Kosakata Tomoka fall into a nymphomaniac state again, and couldn't help but hold his little face with both hands, and said intoxicatedly, "Ah, another handsome guy, is Pengxiang's peach blossoms here?" ”
Ryuzaki Sakura could only smile when he saw this, for his best friend's problem, Ryuzaki Sakura had no choice.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The tennis ball in Chen Anxia's hand hit the ground one by one, attracting everyone's attention.
Then, I saw Chen Anxia throwing the bounced ball high into the air, bending his knees at the same time, leaning back, and his whole body was like a stretched bow.
The next moment, Chen Anxia was like a tight bowstring suddenly loosened, instantly straightened his upper body, and at the same time looked at the tennis ball in free fall in the air, and swung his racket suddenly.
"Boom~"
As the sound came, I saw a golden pillar of light flying straight towards the opposite field.
"Easy and easy~" Seeing this, Takeshi Momojo took a direct step to the point of landing, looked at the incoming ball, and responded with a smile.
Then I saw Takeshi Momojo swing a backhand without hesitation, and directly hit the ball back, and Takeshi Momojo's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction where the tennis ball flew.
This look made Takeshi Taocheng's face change instantly, because Chen Anxia had come to the net at some point, facing the tennis ball that flew straight away, and he was ready to swing the racket.
This posture is, Momojo Takeichi saw this posture, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ran towards the net, as if he wanted to make amends, but unfortunately it was too late, or it was Momojo Takeshi's physical condition at the moment that restricted his movements.
I saw Chen Anxia leaning sideways, holding the racket with his backhand, gently facing the tennis ball and going down, and then I saw the tennis ball crossing a beautiful trajectory in the air, falling directly into the front court of the opposite half, bounced it lightly twice, and rolled forward.
Seeing this, Momojo Takeshi stopped, looked at Chen Anxia and said helplessly, "Falling ball volley, you can even play this way~"
This technique is a relatively advanced tennis technique, that is, a gentle volley in the air makes the tennis ball fall to the ground just after passing the net, so that the opponent has no time to react.
Moreover, the volley of the falling ball can play a purpose that cannot be prevented, so this style of play can often be used as a favorable weapon to mobilize, interfere and contain the opponent on the court.
Not only Takeshi Momojo, but everyone else was also shocked by Chen Anxia's goal just now, not just because of Chen Anxia's falling ball volley.
It's more because, just now, Chen Anxia suddenly moved when Taocheng Wu was about to swing the racket, came directly to the net, and posed for the racket.
And Takeshi Momojo seemed to have made an appointment, and the next moment he swung the ball back, and directly shot the ball straight back to where Chen Anxia was.
The scene just now is as if Chen Anxia can predict the prophet, is it really a bit incredible, is it a super intuition? Or is it super dynamic vision?
All of a sudden, all sorts of thoughts arose in everyone's minds.
"Referee, isn't it time to announce the score~" Chen Anxia looked at Satoshi Horio who was sitting in the referee's chair with a smile at this time.
"Ah, 15-0~" Satoshi Horio came to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke.
"Ah, Lord Prince, come on!!" Kosakata Tomoka was suddenly happy and shouted support.
After Chen Anxia heard the voice of support, he couldn't help but smile slightly at Kosakata Tomoka, and this smile instantly made Kosakata Tomoka fall into a state.
"What a charming boy~" Even Shibasaori, an adult woman, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
But as she spoke, Shiba Saori seemed to notice something, pointed to Chen Anxia's racket in the court, and said in surprise, "Oh, Inoue senior, isn't it a little strange to look at the racket in Chen Anxia's hand?" ”
Inoue on the side couldn't help but look over when he heard this, and when he saw it, he suddenly exclaimed in disbelief, "This is, wooden tennis racket!?" Does anyone still use wooden tennis rackets now!? ”
"Inoue-senpai, what's wrong with the wooden tennis racket? Why so surprised? Shibasaori couldn't help but ask curiously when she heard this.
Hearing this, Inoue's face couldn't help but become solemn, and he slowly explained
"With the development of the times, tennis rackets are also constantly developing, and we can roughly divide the development of tennis rackets into three stages~"
"The earliest stage was the era of wooden tennis rackets, and it was also the earliest formal tennis racket, but later it was eliminated because of the high cost, cumbersome process, and insufficient racket performance~"
"After that, it came to the era of iron and aluminum tennis rackets, and after that, it came to the era of tennis rackets made of carbon and composite materials that we see now~"
"It can be said that wooden tennis rackets have long been eliminated, and basically no one will use them in the tennis world now, because the performance of wooden tennis rackets is simply not as good as the tennis rackets made of new materials~"
"Are wooden tennis rackets poor?" Tomoka Kosakata asked curiously.
Inoue paused slightly, as if he was organizing the language, and then explained
"We all know that the factors that affect a tennis racket can be roughly divided into hardness, paddle surface size and racket weight~"
"The hardness index of ordinary rackets is generally around 65, below 65 we call it a soft racket, and above 65 we call it a hard racket~"
"Generally speaking, the harder the racket, the smaller the deformation when hitting the ball, and the less active force the racket-wielder is required, which is easier to borrow."
"However, the harder the racket, the more the arm needs to withstand more force and impact, and there are certain requirements for your own physical fitness, and vice versa~"
"And the size of the racket determines the size of the sweet zone of the racket, the smaller the racket surface, the smaller the sweet zone, the better the control ability, the larger the racket surface, the larger the sweet zone, the better the hitting ability~"
"What's that sweet spot?" Tomoka Kosakata asked with a curious look on her baby's face.
Inoue smiled slightly when he heard this, and explained, "The sweet zone is the effective hitting area of the racket surface, and the sweet zone can give the player enough power and ball control, so that he can hit the ball solidly~"
Ryuzaki Sakurano, Kosakata Tomoka, and Shiba Saori all nodded with a look of sudden realization, indicating that they understood.
Inoue couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw this, but he continued to explain, "As I just mentioned, there is also the weight of a racket, simply put, the heavier the racket, the better the hitting ability, the weaker the control, the lighter the racket, the better the control, the weaker the hitting ability~"
As he spoke, Inoue couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia and Takeshi Momojo, who were competing in the field, and continued
"Due to the limitation of the material, the size of the wooden racket is generally about 65, which is only a little larger than the badminton racket~"
"The hardness is about 40, but the weight has reached about 350g, you know, the size of the general racket is about 95, and the weight is about 320g~"
"Therefore, the indicators of the wooden racket are not as good as the modern racket, which is also the reason why the wooden racket was eliminated~"
"Then why does Chen Anxia still use a wooden racket?" Shibasaori couldn't help but ask curiously when she heard this.
"I don't know~" Inoue shook his head solemnly and responded, and then continued, "But there is one thing I can know, that is, Chen Anxia, who can use the wooden paddle so freely, is not simple~"
Shibasaori, Ryuzaki Sakurano and Kosakata Tomoka couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia, who was hitting the ball with a wooden racket in the court, and couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.
And the match between Chen Anxia and Takeshi Momojo continues.
"Bang!"
“40—0”
Seeing that he had lost another goal, Takeshi Momojo did not look flustered at all, but looked at Chen Anxia, who looked indifferent on the other side, and said with a smile, "This kid really doesn't leave any affection for his seniors~"
As he spoke, Takeshi Momoshiro couldn't help but look at his ankle joints that were covered by his trousers, looked at the little white bandage that was slightly exposed, and secretly said in his heart, "The longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for me, I have to show my real strength and end the game as soon as possible~"
Thinking about it, I saw Takeshi Taocheng holding the racket in both hands, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared straight at Chen Anxia in the opposite serving area.
And at this moment, Chen Anxia made a move that everyone didn't expect, only to see Chen Anxia slowly retract the preparatory action of serving, walked to the sidelines, and placed his tennis bag.
Then, under the curious and puzzled eyes of everyone, he slowly put the wooden racket in his hand back into the tennis bag, and then took out a brand new racket from the tennis bag.
Seeing this scene, everyone who knew what was going on was all shaken, and they couldn't help but whisper "This is..."
A breeze blew slowly, shaking off pieces of cherry blossoms, in the rain of cherry blossom petals, I saw Chen Anxia holding a brand new racket, walking back to the serving area step by step, looking at Momojo Takeshi opposite, and said with a slight smile
"The game has just begun~"
