Chapter 39 - Stinger

Han Woo-jin's turn came a long time after Max Müller and Ryosuke Okuda ended. He was constantly recalling the games that passed until his game started. In the head of Hanwoojin, two players who had been competing for a while

Navigating the stomach exchanged a myriad of balls.

Many times, he could draw a clear conclusion. Okuda Ryosuke can't beat Max Muller even if he's a hundred times competing.

'It just didn't work.'

Okuda's counter-style was enough to beat Max. However, if there was a lack of strength could be mentioned. Had a little more restraint might have been able to surpass Max's reflexes.

Okuda has been premature to compete with Max. Han Woo-jin cleared the two men's matches from the head and set foot on the court. The floor wasn't slippery, thanks to the neat cleaning.

And as he climbed onto the court, commentators awaited. It was because I was bored because I couldn't see a game that was hardly seen after the game of Max.

-The only Korean, Han Woo-jin, who made her name in the Shenzhen Open, has now appeared! It is very impressive to maintain a stable attitude as always. Aren't you, Yoon?

-He's a cool player, not like a rookie. The experience of participating in the Mets Open last time seems to be very helpful. It's new and rarely used to the atmosphere of the stadium.

-So the audience is not a joke. At most, it is a different dimension from Korea, which comes as many as 100 people. Hanwoojin player!

It was not wrong. Han Woo-jin did not lose his expressionless expression even at the venue of the Shenzhen Open, where the atmosphere is very different from that of Korea. If there are a lot of ordinary people, I would be excited to be different from the new arrivals seemed to be.

But I did not even realize it. Basically, Hanwoojin is thinly interested in others. He wasn't a relaxed player and wasn't able to afford to pay attention to the audience.

"It's noisy."

It was only impression. Hanwoojin felt indirectly about China's population as he saw the crowds filling the audience. There were so many people that it was noisy as if they were in the middle of the square even if they said a word.

If there were players who were vulnerable to noise, this atmosphere would be poisonous. Of course, there was no equivalent to Hanwoojin.

He strengthened the grip that was holding onto the racket.

Feeling a steady return of power, Han Woo-jin saw an unknown Japanese player looking at himself in front of him.

Special Skills: None

'It's OK Did you participate in an assortment? '

Nevertheless, there was almost no ranker in the propaganda opening. China has assigned seed rights, which have been biased against Asian players, and this Nakamura player also seems to be the case.

It is a great opportunity to start ATP tour from the finals. Any player who was in the middle of the rankings seemed to want to grab. Even if they were eliminated in the first round, they could record their advance to the finals.

Hanwoojin came to win sincerely was not bad Daejinjin position. You'll be able to complete the upgrade progress as soon as possible while reducing your stamina to the minimum.

The remaining 4% was achievable by simply winning the first sub game with every ace. What will come out when the Pandora's box is opened? Han Woo-jin turned to the coin that the referee bounces with the feeling of anticipation and anxiety.

"this."

He smiled bitterly. God seemed to want to say a little bit more patience.

It was Nakamura who preempted the serve.

"We are looking forward to making the third round with Hanwoojin taking 1 set with a score of 6-2. But why aren't you boring? Isn't it? "

Even if it is quite embarrassing, Cha Soo-hyun immediately received his word and became acquainted. He also did not have Hanwoojin's game as interesting as before.

"Yes. I'm sorry for Nakamura, but it doesn't seem to be enough to draw the power of Han Woo-jin. "

"Ok. As well as the unusual serve that was shown in the last match, it's hard to put up with the power. It's a bit boring since I saw Max's loud game. "

Once I started to open my mouth, the tales of drinking have been released. There were two main reasons. It was because Nakamura's ability was too low to draw Hanwoojin's skills.

The ordinary game was not a castle.

Of course, it was too harsh to meet such insane demands against Hanwoojin. So they didn't say more. It was true that Han Woo-jin was doing well, and it was never worth it.

Still, I was going to expect a bit. In the Korean tennis world, the name Han Woo Jin was like a whirlpool of variables. It was treated as a dark horse that was not in line with anyone's expectations and was popping out in an unexpected direction.

Expectations were added without knowing that they were commentators who did not know such public opinion.

But will Hanwoojin know their feelings? He was teasing Nakamura's flying serve, flipping his usual dry mask.

The upgrade progress has already achieved 100% in one set and two games.

Sparrow was the number of spleen was upgraded to the next level of skill.

The important thing was aside.

'Do you use or not?'

Han Woo-jin was now contemplating between the two options.

[Hanwoojin]

Strength 61 / Stamina 62 / Agility 62

HP 1840/2480 SP 740/740

Forehand: 12/20

Backhand: 9/20

Serve: 15/20

Volley: 9/20

Smash: 10/20

Dropshot: 9/20

Lob: 10/20

Special Skills: Stinger (Serve / Step 2), Slug (Smash)

He rallyed by looking at his status window, which had changed a bit. Despite the nerves being sold elsewhere, the game was running in his favor. The difference between the two players was clear.

'Will you try? Or should I save? '

Either way, there were advantages and disadvantages. Hanwoojin was worried because he knew it.

The advantage that the new evolved serve can be tested in practice, the disadvantage of having to disclose the number of spleen in public.

The advantage of saving the number of spleen. The disadvantage is that even the form does not know the means to be spared.

In a few seconds, countless thoughts passed through his head. Han Woo-jin was able to make a decision only when two sets were in the middle.

Stinger.

'This was probably a missile name?'

Serve seemed strangely named after the missile. This is the fastest and strongest ball among the pitches, which is why it is hard to understand for Hanwoojin, who is not interested in the military side.

So I decided to try it.

He couldn't stand out in the game against the strong players without even knowing the performance of his hand.

"Game 5! Ujin Han Serving Play! "

The score is 4-1. It was a game that returned to Hanwoojin's dominance. Nakamura was showing a missing Mac with an expression that seemed to end quickly. It was incomparable with the first round opponent, James, who was motivated until the end.

It was hard to expect an active response, but I didn't want to. What Hanwoojin wanted from Nakamura was nothing more than a sandbag.

* * *

"Score is already 4-1, and Han Woo-jin returns to the sub game. The game seems to end well with the victory of Han Woo-jin.

"We are doing well in the 2nd ATP Tour, Korean Woojin player! Maybe we can go to the quarter-finals or even more. "

"I personally think that the player who will play the finals with Max is Hanwoojin. I won't be able to win the championship already, but I can expect it if I'm a runner-up. "

Apart from boredom, there was a good reputation. Even though Hanwoojin did not offer sights, it did not change that it was performing well.

Winning a near perfect score on the ATP Tour was a challenge. It was also the second ATP tour in the first year of his debut.

The narrators were actually finishing the race. The enthusiasm that was already lost or dissipated in the commentary of the game could not have risen.

But only until the end of the last did their expectations be repaid.

"uh? Hanwoojin, your posture is a little unusual. "

"It looks different from the last serve. Would you like to try out new technology in the ATP League? "

"The game is already decided, but it's not good to be too cautious, Han Woo-jin!"

Commentators even expressed concern over the unexpected movement of Hanwoojin. After the boiled blood had cooled, they realized that their expectations were unreasonable. Max's beastly play shakes their solid reason

It was because of it.

No matter what they yell at, they won't be heard in the players' ears. Han Woojin threw the ball up without hesitation. Unlike Sparrow, it was a close posture to a typical overhead serve, with the waist straight and the outer knee bent.

However,

Phuong!

The sound of the ball exploding. Rather than a net, the listener seems to be smashing something solid with an aluminum bat.

Even before the sound struck, the thunderbolt that hit Nakamura's coat jumped out of the way. It was bound away from the normal serve. How can a serve that has been beaten to the front pop out to the side?

The referee, who had no voice in the game, swallowed his breath.

"F, Fifteen Love (15: 0)!"

The voice of judgment barely flowed out of silence.

As soon as the score was called, the commentator, who had stopped breathing with the frozen left, began to breathe again. Whether thrill or amazement, thrilled down their bodies.

What, what? Now that serve, the speed was amazing, but the bounds are really ridiculous!

-Did you hide that ball, Hanwoojin? We might have wanted to take it out of this place for a while, but eyes improve well for spectator!

Maybe you want to check it out? Bound to that much speed, it's likely a misfire. But one really great ball came out!

While the narrators were excited and talking, Han Woo-jin was surprised by the unknown technique of his hands. I only hit it once, but I was able to grasp its value. This was more than sparrows.

'You can change the angle of the bounds as you like… . '

Just as you adjust the angle of reflection of the light, you can force the sub to hit the flat with all the power you want. All angles, including the left and right, as well as the reverse, entered the stinger's range.

That was Stinger's ability to appear in the name of the surface-to-air missile.
