Sengoku Gets Completely Overpowered
"That's right, Bobby. Your only task is to utterly destroy your opponent, leaving them completely battered and bruised, and show the sponsors on stage your extraordinary strength."
Seeing Bobby's excellent performance, Coach Baker smiled again.
Coach Baker went to great lengths to please the sponsors.
In the ensuing match, Bobby performed exactly as Coach Baker had planned, her terrifying power leaving Sengoku unable to cope.
Even with both hands, he faced Bobby's amazing return.
Even if you catch the ball, the final result is just touching the net.
Bang...
"Bobby Marx scores, score 1-0"
After Sengoku's Super High-Speed Spin Serve once again, facing Bobby's return, Sengoku was determined to hit back.
Gripping the racket with both hands, he used all his strength to finally return the ball successfully.
But before she could be happy for long, Bobby's leaping figure caught Sengoku's eye.
Looking at Bobby's enormous body, Sengoku was somewhat at a loss.
Even when Bobby hit a smash, Sengoku didn't dodge it. Fortunately, Bobby didn't seem to intend to hurt Sengoku.
So the ball that Sengoku had finally managed to return was smashed back by Bobby.
As the umpire read the score, Sengoku's serve was broken in this absolutely dominant situation.
"Simple and straightforward matches like this are more exciting. A battle of strength is never out of style. But how would you deal with an opponent who absolutely overwhelms you in strength?"
From the Coach bench, Horio watched the changes on the field; Sengoku's condition was clearly not good.
However, Horio still admires Bobby, since his playing style is very much to the liking of most men.
Without many fancy techniques, simply swinging the racket with power is already considered very elegant by Horio.
"They broke my serve so easily."
"That Bobby is incredibly strong."
"To be able to hit a tennis ball with that kind of power so easily, I don't think even Kawamura- Senpai could do that."
"Yes, I can't do what he does, but I have seen others do it before."
"Has Kawamura -Senpai ever seen a power player like Bobby before?"
"It wouldn't be entirely accurate to categorize him as a power player... but he can easily achieve that level of performance."
"Oh, Kawamura- Senpai, you really know how to keep us in suspense. Do we know that person?"
Bobby's terrifying performance surprised the Seigaku members in the spectator area.
However, everyone was very curious when Kawamura later said that he had seen people who could hit that kind of ball before.
Hearing Momoshiro's urgent question, Kawamura pointed his finger at the back of the Coach on the bench.
Following the direction Kawamura pointed, everyone saw who it was and wisely shut their mouths.
No one showed surprise on their faces; they could completely accept that Kawamura was referring to Horio.
On the court at this moment, Bobby, who had broken Sengoku's serve, was preparing to start her own serve.
Bobby made no unnecessary movements, tossed the ball, swung his racket, and sent out a ball heavier than the one from the previous game.
"I've never seen such a powerful serve before."
"It's surprising that Horio could do something like that. It's not exactly expected, but it's still quite unexpected."
"Such a powerful shot is impossible to return, and you might even injure your wrist."
The Seigaku members were once again taken aback by the even more ferocious crowd outside the stadium than before.
"It's definitely heavier than before..."
Even after receiving the ball with both hands, Sengoku still gritted his teeth to return it.
However, it was merely a return of the score and did not have any significant impact on Bobby.
Bobby only moved a few steps before returning the ball to Sengoku's half of the court, probably because Sengoku had a clear understanding of Bobby's strength.
At this point, Sengoku began using Boxing Style; only a style with explosive power like this could handle him.
With his Boxing Style, Sengoku was now able to fight Bobby normally.
Although Bobby held back a bit, the two really went back and forth.
During his fight with Bobby, Sengoku was constantly looking for Bobby's weaknesses.
After just a few rounds, Sengoku observed Poppy running Bobby and finally found an opening.
Because Bobby is taller and more robust than the average person, his legs are also spread wider apart.
Seeing this, Sengoku didn't hesitate to hit the ball right between Bobby's legs.
However, the fact that Bobby was selected for the West Coast team proves that he is no ordinary player.
Sure enough, after seeing the ball that Sengoku hit, Bobby's lips curled up slightly, and then he crouched down and got into a sprinting stance.
It resembles the starting motion of Dash Wave Ball, but it's not the way to play Dash Wave Ball. Instead, it uses the sprinting posture to hit a Half Volley.
The Half Volley is already fast, and Bobby further utilizes the speed boost.
The ball was so fast that even if Sengoku dove to save it, he couldn't do it in time; the tennis ball still bounced off the ground a few centimeters away from Sengoku's racket.
The weakness they had finally found turned out to be completely useless; Sengoku was now utterly powerless to fight back.
With Bobby's near-overwhelming advantage, Sengoku frequently lost points.
Just like in the first game, it didn't take long for Bobby to win the second game again.
"I never expected it to be such a one-sided situation."
"That Bobby is really amazing, she hasn't given up a single point yet."
"What are you doing, you viper? Why are you boosting others' morale and diminishing your own?"
"It's true that the opponent is very strong, but to be precise, it's that Sengoku doesn't know how to attack."
The moment Sengoku hit the ball, Bobby immediately moved, keeping her body in front of the ball, and controlling the number of steps to within four.
He fully utilizes his physical advantages in his playing style, and he employs a creative approach regardless of tennis posture.
After observing Poppy for two games, the spectators also noticed some of Bobby habits.
On the Coach bench, Coach Baker was also watching the game with his chin in his hand.
"Hmph, trying to outsmart our Bobby won't work."
Bobby is a well-known all-around athlete in the West Coast junior high school sports scene; he is very strong in both basketball and football.
The more talented a person is, the simpler their mind tends to be. Therefore, in team-based competitions, they often have conflicts with opponents or even teammates.
But it is precisely this point that allowed me to poach him and make him a pawn in my game.
Coach Baker was extremely pleased as he watched Bobby unleash his wild Bobby on the field.
