Chapter 37.1 - Looking forward to day # 1

As concentration increases, a person's senses elongate. The nerve is accelerating enough to feel one second to two seconds or three seconds. Familiar with athletes who play ball at high speeds and speculate at the moment's movement.

It was each.

It is also the same feeling that Hanwoojin is feeling. He captured James Cooper's movement across the net while he was about to toss the ball.

'It's a denomination.'

Han Woo-jin was thinking that way when he first saw James' status window on the court.

Drop shots and robes were among the most difficult techniques used in tennis. Unlike other techniques where it is common to hit with power, it is based on power distraction and required a high difficulty of adjusting the impact point.

But James was the highest level of such skills. This is the first time Hanwoojin has seen a bias in skill levels. In addition, the two techniques, when used in combination, are scaryly tricky.

Drop shot just before the net.

Robes aiming for the base line.

In the same way, the range of skills is implemented on the principle of force, but the range is exactly the opposite. It was a typical example of an unpredictable player who gambled into points with a 1/2 chance.

If you drag the rally for a long time, the race becomes a stage of craftsmanship. Han Woo-jin was familiar with that experience. And he knew well what type of natural enemy the players were. It was a very simple story.

Paang-!

Flat, the fastest pitch among the sub. As the strength increases, the higher the level of the sub skill, the higher the speed and precision.

More than 60 strength levels and 14 skill levels.

Han Woo-jin, who had them all in one hit, surpassed 210 kilometers per hour.

"Fifteen Love (15: 0)!"

The noisy market was surrounded by a quiet atmosphere.

And the text 212km / h floated silently on the meter screen in one corner of the court. It was the moment Han Woo-jin's first serve broke his own record. The narrators shut their mouths for a while without stopping.

The first person to regain his voice was Park Sung-jin, who, too, had the longest career.

-2,212km! Han Woo-jin is breaking the highest speed he has ever recorded! With that physique, it's not easy to get over 200 per hour, which is amazing.

The other two commentators were in a hurry. If you let your tongue rest in front of such a scene, the commentator would not have qualified as a sports journalist.

-Yes. Honestly, it's 230, 240 an hour or so in world records. 210 is not easy at all Among the Asian rankingers who are now active in the rankings, you can count them in five fingers.

-And Han Woo-jin is not only good at serving flats. It's already been proven in a few games that you can drive or topspin. However, I'm worried about my body being hurt while trying to serve unfavorably.

Everybody had their own commentators. The concerns that Cha added to the end also made sense. Normally, Hanwoojin's physique conditions were heavy when using high-speed serve over 200 mph.

But Hanwoojin was an exception.

Countless training and innate nature to make the body was beyond the limits of the pro with the assistance of the system to some extent. When strength and stamina surpassed the 60 wall, Hanwoojin lost all of his weaknesses except for Rich in physical terms.

It was.

'The denomination is weak in one room.'

Speed, or power. If not, one technique that has reached an overwhelming level.

That was the chronic weakness of the artisan players whose essence was to shake the opponents and poke them through the high-tech skills.

If you pick up the service ace at a terrible pace from the beginning, it's psychological warfare, Nabal, and no time to walk. If you have a tricky ball that can't be rallyed, you'll only need to get it.

And Han Woo-jin's showing, serving over 210km / h, was lightly above James's physical. In a natural context, his face became pale. It was because they felt that it was not a ball that could be picked up.

Before the referee called out, Han Woo-jin tossed the ball again. There was no need for the opponent's eyes to get used to the ball.

Paang!

River fastballs again. The first 212 km was the result of dragging the power that was present. Han Woo-jin slowed down a bit because he couldn't find a reason to maintain his sub-confinement with all his power. Of course, it was a high-speed sub exceeding 200 per hour.

"Thirty Love (30: 0)!"

Subsequent developments were unstoppable.

Han Woo-jin's serve has been mocking James Cooper's reflexes, and he has lost four points of a game without any time to face the serve over 200 mph from the first game.

"Game Ujin Han!"

Only after hearing the voice of the referee was James's face crumpled.

It was a room that I ate without a doubt.

"Shit!"

But James's determination was not shaken at all. Rather, he plucked it with the intention of paying back. A room hit by a shallow Asian tennis player scratched his pride, which had grown beyond his ability.

"Game 2, James Serving Play!"

James, who was handed the ball, twisted his wrist at a strange angle. Hanwoojin was far away from the minute was not so fine motion. Soon after, the ball bounced from James's hand.

phut!

It was different from the sharp burst sound that Hanwoojin struck. It was an unusually crafted sub-denominational sub, which shifted its orbit from a high-speed sub which focused on speed.

'this.'

It was different from the players I had played so far. An oddly curved drive serve was inserted into the house, contrary to Hanwoojin's predictions. The ball fell into the corner of the service court.

"Fifteen Love (15: 0)!"

Also annoying style.

Thinking so, Hanwoojin raised the grip of his grip and wiped off the sweat that began to form on his back. As long as it's a weak point in physical terms, I thought it was okay to aim for a return right away… It was a bit shallow.

Han Woo-jin raised the rating of James Cooper. Then he relaxed his position and narrowed his eyes.

phut!

It's a bizarre turn that doesn't know where it's going. That position just before tossing the ball is probably the key to making James's serve. But there was a lack of information. Yet Hanwoojin's eyes did not come up with the orbit of the serve.

James's second serve also beat the left service court with an unexpected curve.

"Thirty Love (30: 0)!"

It was as if the first game was drawn in reverse. Although it was for observation, Hanwoojin did not show any signs of movement, and only the viewers who were watching and the commentators who were in the midst of the chattering rode.

-Ah ~ Han Woo-jin. Loosen the posture and just leave James's serve. I think I'm just going to play this game.

It's not a bad way to wait for your partner's serve to be noticed. However, it is a bit unfortunate that the game did not keep its lead.

-James player, toss the ball again. It doesn't seem to give me any time to think.

Almost at the same time as the commentators finished the talk, James' racket fired again. Both sound and momentum were inferior to Hanwoojin's serve, but as a result, appearance is never an important factor.

It was not yet. Can't hit yet. Han Woo-jin, who wants to move, suppressed his body and watched James's serve serve until the end.

"Forty Love (40: 0)!"

The referee veered James' service ace. It was a flow of score with 1 game and no errors. Hanwoojin rubbed his eyes once it started to sting because he did not blink. The tears that came out released the frozen eye.

'Let's do it.'

It is unreasonable to see it completely just by looking at it. Now it's time to take your stamina and throw your body to analyze your opponent's serve. Hanwoojin tilted his upper body forward and put weight on both thighs.

James noticed the change and squeezed the molar.

Do you already believe you can fight your own serve? It's been less than a year since you debuted.

He thought that the reason why Hanwoojin's ranking soared was because he was a player from a low-level country. If he had been active in Asia, he truly believed that he would be in the top 100 in the world rankings.

Of course, there was an advantage in working in a low-level area. It's easier to hunt points against players who are weaker than you.

But think about it.

Is Hanwoojin a player who has accumulated points in such a cunning way?

phut!

James, though, thought he would spin more than the previous balls. If the drives he had so far had been sorted out in the line of common sense, this one was as close to a special machine as it was.

But it moved. Han Woo-jin calculated the trajectory of the ball while reducing the error as much as possible. The twist went beyond the expected level, but it was too late to stop.

Tongue!

The ball hit the frame, not the net, soared high. James roughly curled the brow, but fortunately Hanwoojin's ball came off the court. The ball knocked out of the court and the referee crossed his arms, signaling the end of the game.

"Game James!"

Literary Iljin Ilchul (一 進 一 退).

But Hanwoojin's last run was meaningful.

James's serve was not farther than he thought. In the next few steps, it was a narrowing street.

"Ujin Han Serving Play!"

Strong grip broke a solid tennis ball. Hanwoojin grabbed the ball and James hardened his complexion. He still had no way to deal with Hanwoojin's fastball. The service ace of 2 games was only one game.

"Fuck… "

James, who faced the crisis from the first round, chewed her lips lightly. It was an unpleasant situation.

* * *

When the sub game returned to Hanwoojin's turn, the commentators, who had cooled down for a while, lit up their mouths again. Eventually, the broadcast of the Shenzhen Open was to highlight Han Woo-jin and his sub-games that proved his worth.

Not surprisingly, Han Woo-jin also hit James with overwhelming subplay.

Paang!

-Thirty Love (30: 0)!

"Yes, this is it! Han Woo-jin records service ace twice in a row! "

"James can't use his hands or feet. It's hard to get used to serve. Perhaps for a while, I expect to win the sub game. "

The commentators who praised Han Woo-jin for their excitement changed the context of the dialogue with Park Sung-jin. What's weird, Yun Ki-chan really did not know, reflexively asked.

"I'm not sure. Viewers may be curious too, but I hope you don't bother too much. haha."

The words went well. Park squeezed his chin over his arm on the desk and put his question in his mouth.

"I'm an unusual serve that Han Woo-jin has used since the opening of Seoul, and I can't show it at all. Can you still afford it? "

"Ah!"

Two commentators shouted at the same time. As Park Sung-jin commented, Han Woo-jin did not show the oddly broken serve. Why?

Those who do not know the situation was unknown.

-Game Ujin Han!

The winner of the three games was decided while they paused.

Han Woo-jin, who recorded two service aces, lightly breathed and loosened the hardened neck muscles. I didn't like it when I let go of the hand.

'Would you like to try?'

Roughly caught.
