"Kamio, well done!"
"That's it, Kamio, keep it up!"
"Kamio, Ishida, just unleash your full potential!" In the Fudomine players' rest area, Saeki Muneyoshi looked at Kamio Akira in the arena and said softly.
Although he made some tough talk before the match and it felt good, Rikkai Dai's strength cannot be dismissed with just a few words.
Not to mention their singles reserves, which are almost identical to those of Fudomine, even in doubles, they are renowned among junior high school students.
However, if these doubles duos try their best...
The game on the field became increasingly intense, and at that moment, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came from Fudomine.
Ishida stepped forward with his left foot, while the muscles in his right hand expanded and squeezed, becoming so taut they were almost twisted into a single strand.
As he watched the ball approach, he unleashed all his power, swinging his racket swiftly behind him. The collision of the tennis ball and the racket produced a dull thud.
"Wave Shot Technique 1!"
Bang!
"Wave Shot?"
In Rikkai Dai's backcourt, Jack Sanohara's eyes were fixed on Ishida Tetsu's movements from the very beginning.
This was also the most important task that Yanagi Renji had arranged for him.
He didn't need to worry about anything at the net; he only needed to defend against Ishida Tetsu's strongest power.
Boom!
The Wave Shot, blasted by Ishida Tetsu, created a gust of wind in the air and landed in Rikkai Dai's backcourt in an instant.
The tennis ball, carrying a powerful impact, made another loud bang upon colliding with the court.
Such immense power exerts tremendous pressure on the opponent.
"What terrifying power!"
As he spoke, Marui Bunta, standing in front of the net, popped a bubble gum in his mouth.
"However, if it's only this level, it's simply not enough to break through Kuwa's full-force defense after he's adapted to your power!"
Before Marui Bunta could finish speaking...
Jack Sanohara increased his speed, and with a powerful run-up, he appeared at the landing point of the tennis ball in just a few steps.
Among all the Rikkai Dai players, Jack Sanohara the least noticeable and seemed to have the lowest profile.
However, this does not mean that Jack Sanohara's strength is weak.
Among Rikkai Dai's doubles players, Jack Sanohara possessed a defensive range that almost covered the entire doubles court.
Moreover, due to his Brazilian heritage, his speed, strength, and stamina are all impeccable.
If it weren't for his lack of expertise in technical development and mental strength, which limited his potential and development, his strength would be even greater.
Even so, it's more than enough for doubles; it's the ironclad wall of Rikkai Dai's doubles team.
With a partner who is both technically skilled and mentally strong, the synergy in doubles is off the charts.
This is one of the reasons why Yukimura Seiichi was confident in them.
The instant the tennis ball bounced back, Jack Sanohara gripped his racket with both hands, channeling all his strength into his wrists. With a powerful swing, the racket in his hands struck the tennis ball like a streak of light!
Boom!
A crisp sound!
"Aaaaaah!!"
Ishida Tetsu's Wave Shot technique was countered with all his might by Jack Sanohara.
"Just as the minister said!"
Ishida Tetsu's gaze fell on Jack Sanohara.
Before the match against Rikkai Dai, Saeki Muneyoshi and everyone at Fudomine analyzed all of Rikkai Dai's opponents.
Among them, the player analyzed by Ishida Tetsu is Jack Sanohara.
Muneyoshi believes he will be one of the toughest opponents Ishida will face in the Kanto Tournament!
With his current Wave Shot alone, he Fuwara the opponent's defense.
The thought Kamio Akira on the court had already moved.
Just as Jack Sanohara's return shot had flown over the net, Kamio Akira had already rushed to the net, his racket suddenly slamming down on the ball.
"We've won this point!"
A cold glint flashed in Kamio Akira's eyes as he intercepted the ball mid-air.
Bang!
The tennis ball flew from Kamio's racket and he aimed at the sideline in the backcourt and hit it.
"The first-year duo from Fudomine are getting better and better at coordinating, and Kamio Akira's speed is getting faster and faster!"
On the Rikkai Dai players' bench, Yanagi Renji squinted, constantly recording and updating information about each player.
"However, while you are fast, Kuwa is not bad either!"
No sooner had Yanagi Renji finished speaking than Jack Sanohara appeared once again at the landing point of the tennis ball!
Bang!
At this moment, his figure was truly like an iron wall, intercepting both Kamio and Ishida's counterattacks!
"Even Kamio's super-fast shots can't break through this guy's ironclad defense?"
Ishida Tetsu lowered his arm and assumed the Wave Shot stance once again.
"If that's the case, then I'll smash you!"
"Aaaaa!! Wave Shot Seventh Style!"
Boom!
A powerful shockwave struck again, this time with even greater force and speed!
It slammed into Rikkai Dai's backcourt in an instant, then crashed heavily onto the iron netting.
"Wow, that's powerful!"
Jack Sanohara and Marui Bunta's eyes instantly fell on the clear mark in the backcourt, and alarm bells rang in their minds!
"Game, Fudomine scores, 2-2, tie!"
Bang!
The tennis ball flew over the middle net pocket and landed quickly in front of Marui. Marui Bunta raised his racket and hit the tennis ball at Kamio Akira again.
Bang!
At this point, both the Regular players from the two schools and the spectators on the court understood that Rikkai Dai's doubles pair wanted to wear down Ishida continuously and completely break down Kamio.
"How could we possibly let such a scheme succeed again?"
With a low shout from Kamio, he unleashed his explosive speed to the extreme, instantly catching up with Marui's counterattack.
Kamio crouched and leaped forward, swinging his tennis racket downwards in a "scooping the moon from the sea" motion, delivering a reverse smash.
The tennis ball traced a perfect arc in mid-air.
"Hyperspeed missile interception..."
Bang!
With a loud bang, the tennis ball hit the sideline and flew out of bounds.
At that moment, even Jack Sanohara in the backcourt didn't have time to react.
"30:30, Fudomine Junior High's Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu score."
"Kamio, well done!"
"That's it, Kamio, take them down!"
As the referee finished speaking, cheers erupted from the Fudomine players' area outside the court. Kamio's Kamio was truly beautiful, catching the two Rikkai Dai guard.
Ishida also stepped forward to help Kamio up after he fell, and gave him a high five.
Seeing this, the two Rikkai Dai also stopped.
"It seems our plan won't work."
Seeing this, Jack Sanohara's expression turned serious; their struggle with Fudomine seemed to be having no effect whatsoever.
Marui Bunta blew a bubble, looked at Kamio and Ishida across from him, and shook his head.
"It might not be completely ineffective, but since our plan has been exposed, let's confront them head-on."
"Good!"
Jack Sanohara was not surprised by Marui Bunta's words. He had complete trust in his partner, especially his genius-level moves, which he hadn't used much yet.
Pfft~
Marui's bubble burst, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, his tone turning icy. "Let me utterly crush them in the front line."
"Okay, I'll take care of the backcourt."
