Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

Chapter 179: Longma vs. Xiaojin (Part )

However, the current game situation is quite severe for Longma.

Many of Longma's special skills seemed to have lost their former power in front of Xiaojin, and were easily resolved by the opponent with an almost effortless attitude.

These skills that once caused him so much suffering could no longer gain any advantage over Xiao Jin, which undoubtedly brought great psychological pressure to Long Ma.

What's even more difficult is that Longma has to divert his energy to guard against Xiao Jin's smashes.

This kind of high-intensity competition is a great test of his physical strength and energy.

In comparison, Xiao Jin's physical reserves are obviously more abundant. He seems to have inexhaustible energy. Every shot he makes is full of power and speed, making it difficult to grasp his limit.

In such a situation, if the game falls into a protracted tug-of-war, it will undoubtedly be very disadvantageous for Longma.

Because his physical condition was obviously not able to compete with Xiao Jin, a long and fierce battle would only make his advantage gradually disappear. However, Xiao Jin seemed to be getting more and more excited and motivated as the fight went on, as if he was tireless and had no limits at all.

Such a contrast undoubtedly puts Longma in an unprecedented dilemma.

"boom!"

As Xiao Jin's return ball hit the court with great force and speed, Longma actually failed to catch it.

He tried his best and stretched his arms to reach the ball, but he was severely exhausted and his steps were staggering.

While desperately chasing the ball, he lost his balance and fell heavily, hitting his knee on the hard ground. The pain made him frown.

"15-15, tie."

This is also a normal situation in the game.

After all, the fierce confrontation has lasted for about 20 minutes since the start of the game.

During this period, Longma was almost always running and hitting the ball, and hardly had a moment's rest.

Moreover, he was in a state of selflessness the whole time, which consumed a great deal of his physical energy.

Even the most outstanding athletes will gradually reach their physical limits in the face of such high-intensity and high-density competitions.

At this time, Longma's face had turned slightly pale, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.

Although there was still a gleam of determination in his eyes, the fatigue could not be concealed no matter what.

Xiao Jin once again fired a super million-ton fantasy luxury volcanic eruption ball. Long Ma could only drag his tired body and fire another illusion ball in response.

Without any surprise, the swift tennis ball was hit back by Xiao Jin with even greater force the moment it made contact.

A hint of solemnity flashed across Longma's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

In order to save energy and maintain the advantage, after several rounds of fierce confrontation, Ryoma decisively decided to use their captain's ultimate move - Tezuka Zone.

The tennis ball seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and instantly flew towards Longma, landing steadily in his preset position.

Next, no matter how Xiao Jin changed the angle or hit the ball to any corner of Longma's half, the tennis ball seemed to be installed with a tracker, flying back to Longma quickly and accurately, allowing him to return the ball in the easiest way.

However, Xiao Jin is no ordinary person.

After several confrontations, he keenly noticed this pattern.

A hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes, and he quickly changed his strategy and no longer passively dealt with Ryoma's Tezuka area.

He began to take the initiative and without Longma doing anything, he deliberately hit the ball towards Longma, but he poured all his strength into every ball, trying to break Longma's rhythm through the pressure of force.

Although Ryoma's Tezuka Zone is exquisite, it is not flawless.

As long as he can use his extraordinary strength to attack Ryoma's advantageous area head-on, he may be able to break this seemingly perfect Tezuka area.

Sure enough, after just a few rounds, Longma's tired arms could no longer withstand the huge impact force from the opponent's hit.

With a crisp sound, his racket was instantly hit away at that moment, drawing a helpless arc in the air like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell powerlessly on the grass at the edge of the court.

"15-30, Shitenhoji is leading."

This was truly terrible. Not only had Long Ma's physical strength reached its limit, but even his arms seemed to be about to reach the critical point of endurance.

The slightly trembling muscles seemed to be telling of the tremendous pressure he had just endured from the blows, and he himself had obviously not yet fully recovered from the suffocating force.

The following game was completely dominated by Xiao Jin's violent rhythm.

Relying on his abundant physical strength, he continuously launched fierce attacks on Longma. Each shot was like a sledgehammer, hitting Longma's already shaky defense line hard.

However, due to his severe physical exhaustion, Longma had to make a difficult decision - he chose to give up the next three games.

This was not because he gave up, but because he wanted to slowly recover his almost exhausted physical strength during a short rest.

Only in this way can he regain his form in subsequent games and win this crucial game.

During the half-time break, Ryoma had a towel on his head, and I don’t know what he was thinking about.

During the precious halftime break, Longma sat quietly on the sidelines, his sweaty hair casually spread out in a white towel, covering most of his well-defined face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

His eyes looked ahead blankly, as if he was thinking about some profound question.

At this moment, a voice as soft as the spring breeze and slightly familiar brushed past his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

"Ryoma."

Longma suddenly raised his head and fixed his eyes on the figure on the sidelines who was smiling and waving at him slowly - it was Tianyu.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of Coach Ryuzaki. After getting the coach's tacit approval, Ryuma slowly stood up, took a step forward, and walked towards Tianyu.

Tianyu's smile was particularly bright in the sunlight. When he saw Longma approaching, he said, "Don't worry, Longma, there is still hope for this game."

However, Longma just glanced at him indifferently, without any words or excessive expression.

Tian Yu felt a flicker of embarrassment upon seeing this, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and continued, "Mr. Nanjiro asked me to bring you a message—'Do you enjoy playing tennis, Ryoma?'"

These words seemed like a mysterious force that instantly touched a string deep in Longma's heart.

After saying this, Tianyu turned and left. He had completed his mission.

In fact, he didn't want to take this kind of job, but he had no choice but to owe Nanjiro a favor of some size before, so this time he had to pay off the debt.

Nanjiro called him specifically and asked him to help convey this message to Ryoma. Although he was a little reluctant, Tianyu readily agreed.
