Chapter 83.2 - Volley Famous Water # 2

However, apart from Hanwoojin's upliftment, Cedric's net play was a tricky tactic. Tall over 190cm, the attached limbs are also long enough to create an overwhelming range. Cedric Burnett, whose reflexes are reaching the realm of genius

Not to say more if it's the limbs.

Moreover, the pressure felt by Hanwoojin in the first rally was not limited to the mental part. He was reluctant to hit the ball because his superb observations unconsciously penetrated Cedric's defense of the court front perfectly.

A technique that is highly trained on innate physicals. With that time and experience, skilled Cedric's netplay was literally a steel wall.

It was more like a mobile fortress that moved forward and crushed enemies, rather than a steel wall that just stopped and guarded.

'It's a dead end after you've made a furious attack to Bali and turned back to counter and defense. It's deadly? '

Paaang!

Serve flew into the rest of the mid to late 190km. At first, I thought it was a sub without zero malt for high strength, but after receiving it a few times, the idea was reversed. Cedric thought that he deliberately kept the serve's restraint at this level. Serve

It's not necessarily fast. This kind of restraint is just as good as his sub & Bali style.

"Tooth."

Han Woo-jin squeezed his lips slightly and stepped forward. Finding that didn't make any difference.

Cedric puts the ball inside the service court as much as possible, focusing on creating a low and fast bound. It was a track that prevented the opponent from returning a strong return while earning time to run to the net.

'The batter.'

[Increases Strength Stat by 3 for 1 stroke]

[1 second stiffness will be charged immediately after stroke]

In a way, it was a choice that could be a handshake. The slugger's character catches up with the deadly weakness that he is defenseless on his immediate return instead of promising a strong blow. If Cedric's volley kicked back his return, it would have been inevitable.

But Hanwoojin decided to walk on the possibility. Anyway, even if you walk straight ahead, the victory was scarce. It was a deep mountain to see through the runway to a stronger room.

"Suck!"

Paa Aang!

The racket burst into a cool blast with a brief shout. Hanwoojin's strength, which is applied to his characteristics, rises beyond his imagination. Even strokes that are raised from the bottom up have the same acceleration as the existing overhead strokes.

Fiercely cutting through the air, a lime green afterimage over the net raises expectations. The hands were okay. The angle of deflection was also an ideally drawn return shot.

And on the head of the ball stuck on the court, a huge shadow reminiscent of the wall fell.

Paaang!

A heartlessly hit backhand decides the score. I couldn't move, but I smashed the ball into the sideline edge.

Exactly half a beat late, the referee declared the end of the game.

"Game Cedric! Court Change! "

Point score 4: 0. Han Woo-jin never broke through Cedric's net play in his first game. I used the sluggers to the left, right, and on top, but I didn't have a ball to eat. It was an iron wall.

'All the development was the same.'

When Cedric hits the serve and Hanwoojin returns, he intercepts it and scores it. When a total of three strokes cross the net, one point ends. I struggled to get out of the game somehow throughout the game, but there was no income.

During the break of about a minute, Hanwoojin rolled his head without a break. With the return of his subgame, he constantly wondered which tactic to choose. A small light came on in my head.

"Ah."

Just before the game resumed, Han Woo-jin suddenly remembered something and kept a smile in his heart. Despite their own design was quite a pleasant operation.

"Game 2! Player Ready! "

Han Woo-jin was handed the ball from Volvo and went to the other court. On the other side, Cedric was standing in the same position and bent his knees. The thigh quadriceps could be seen in the place where Hanwoojin stood as if he would jump out right away.

'But I wouldn't have expected this.'

The referee gave a start signal to the lamp, and Hanwoojin threw the ball. The force is so strong that just bounce the wrist lightly, the ball will reach the target. Predicting the point where the ball would fall, he shook his racket with a moderate amount of power.

Paaang!

On the other hand, the broadcasting station was in the midst of cheering for Hanwoojin to lose one game.

-So Cedric takes 1 game first. But it's not the time to pick up, Han Woo-jin! You don't have to worry about one sub game, like you can't distribute it for the first time!

-Night Commentary As it says, it's only one game. Besides, Han Woo-jin is not a perfect player if he has a sub-game percentage.

-If you start with a sub-right, the development can be very different from the one game. Hanwoojin players are always famous for overturning people's expectations or speculations, so be patient and watch them.

There was nothing wrong with it. Cedric Burnett's sub-game percentage was pretty high, but he wanted a little assortment compared to Hanwoojin. It would be difficult to compare the achievements of Cedric and Hanwoojin who hit the floor with the world's top-ranked rankingers.

However, it was clear that Han Woo-jin, who had a serve, was considerably stronger than he did not.

The skill level recorded in the status window was an objective measure of how skilled the player was.

Hanwoojin's serve-level was 18, which was higher than Pedro's. Strong players might have more than that, given that they usually have strength in overhead strokes such as serve or smash.

Above all, there were three people who were watching this game in some form.

Harness, Stinger.

Every time Hanwoojin confronts the enemies, he made a horrible serve. It has already been shown dozens more times, it was a technology that was clearly imprinted in the head of people. The fast and colorful serve was not enough to attract the attention of the audience. The expectation of so many people in one body

Hanwoojin wielded the racket.

Paaang!

-uh?

-Well?

-… Hmm.

But somehow it sounds cool. The three commentators looked at the speed gun installed outside the court with a puzzled face. The number written there is 201 km / h. Clearly fast, but Hanwoojin's maximum speed was not enough.

The rally continued even before they questioned anything. Cedric couldn't hide his puzzled restraint than expected, but his body reacted faster than anything else. Cedric's racket, which bounded the right way, crossed the air.

Paaang!

A swing that perfectly catches the bounds that bounce slightly lower and faster.

However, Cedric was forced to raise the racket at an angle and felt the drifting feeling unknown. It was an unpleasant discomfort that I should not have responded like this.

And the reason was soon noticed.

"… Do you do this? "

Two steps from the net, Hanwoojin was waiting with his racket raised. Cedric has already floated the ball over the net, pushing his head into the tiger's agar. It was not the timing to cope with running late.

Paaang!

The ball, which was put down by diagonal lines, did not aim for the sidelines as neatly as Cedric's. But even more restraint was erased, leaving it more powerful in some ways.

"Fifteen Love (15: 0)!"

Serve & Volley to Serve & Volley.

It was a cool room to repay as it was in the game.

But it was not cool at all for those watching. On the contrary, the scene was still hot. The first thing I opened was Han Woo-jin, who had something to think about and lowered his arrest.

-Ha, Han Woo-jin. The serve & Volley just before is very similar to what Cedric showed in the first game. You don't mean see and follow a few times?

-Eh, don't you? No matter how Hanwoojin players…

Yoon Ki-chan, a commentator who tried to objection, quickly shut up. When I think about it, it was not one or two of these situations. From taking down Radal in Sydney, to being here in less than two years. Originally, Hanwoo-jin is a common common sense.

It wasn't a sweet player.

Park Sung-jin, who looked back on the rally just a moment ago, calmly analyzed the situation. He believed in Hanwoojin's capabilities, but he didn't think it was a genius that would perfectly reproduce the technology he saw only a few times.

-I don't think so. If you followed Cedric's play, you might have finished with the sidelines. But Hanwoojin was just hitting hard inside the service court.

That was the most accurate word. If Hanwoojin had listened to his commentary, I might not have noticed.

Nevertheless, Han Woo-jin, who had replayed a little while ago, had an appetite for seeing the impact point farther than he thought. Like Cedric, the skill of dropping the ball to the side was not a difficulty that would be completed in a day or two. It's a success because it's pushed with the same skill

If you tried to imitate the same thing, even if it was not strange.

'The effect is… I think it's okay. '

Beyond the net, I saw Cedric staring at him with cool eyes. Cedric kept his hard-faced face hard, whether it was against planting that was a clunky way to follow his style.

Hanwoojin, however, had a smile. The face, which pulls the tail of one mouth strangely, resembles that of a dog who found a prey from a different angle.

Cedric Burnett was a great player. Serve & Volley, which has no idea how to stop it, and the reflexes that block Hanwoojin's hitting ability, and the delicate stroke technique. There was nothing to admire.

'There are so many things to learn.'

And so, he was forced to be a good food.

* * *

The semi-final round of the Seoul Open, which is running toward the end, was engulfed in heat. Audiences, who had grown their eyes on playing tennis while watching their own high-quality games, began to be enthusiastic about the new stimulus as they watched Bali's scintilla.

Of course, Roddick and Han Woo-jin were hitting, Counter was Djokovic, and Cedric showed off a gorgeous volley shot.

But it was only a one-way score. Most of the play was to get rid of the opponents who do not respond, or to score while maintaining an overwhelming pace.

How many players will you stand against Cedric's net play in the first place? Is Daejin good or bad? He didn't have a chance to show the net play to the audience until he met Hanwoojin.

"Game Ujin Han! 3-3! "

"Game Bernet! 3-4! "

Wow!

One-sided wins may be fun, but fierce fighting is the flower of the game. Only the audience was excited by Han Woo-jin and Cedric's blistering blows that beat each other with Serve & Volley. The war continued to repeat only one day.

Occasionally, Hanwoojin sometimes dropped the ball off the court due to a flimsy side stroke, or accidentally kicked a volley hit by Cedric.

In any case, the two players dragged the game to a point where they could not retreat without losing a single serve game.

"Game Ujin Han! 5-5, Deuce! "

"―Hua!"

Breathing is rough. Sub & Bali was, of course, almost unavoidable as almost all strokes resulted in Bali. Intact, Cedric, who had lower stamina than Hanwoojin, should be tired first, but with all the volley skills including footwork, he is also good at controlling physical strength in net play.

There was no partner. The only difference was the digging between the two players.

'So far, Cedric was probably aiming for it.'

Moreover, Cedric purposefully got along with him. Sub & Bali would have been able to break through by about seven games, but he just dragged the game to Deuces. Not only one set, but the whole way of playing the game.

Gulp.

Hanwoojin envisioned a future strategy by collecting some water for hydration. As the game progressed, Cedric gained some physical strength. And the response to the subtle and sublime Bali imitated by Han Woo-jin became clear. From now on, the fight on equal terms

Rather, they will be disadvantaged by a few.

If so, what means should he take here?

"Sub games can be defended by Stingers. If it's a problem… "

Should I break Cedric's sub game? If you hold a serve, you have to win a sub game from him who is almost invincible. So you could win one set and equip yourself with the puzzle of the final victory.

In order to keep Cedric out of sight, keep him hidden until he is relieved in this deadlock.

'Is it now?'

It was time to hang the arrows that were secretly ground.
