Chapter 883 The Magical Effect of Rotation
However, unexpectedly, the tennis ball did not bounce back immediately as expected after landing, but continued to rotate on the ground, as if controlled by an invisible force.
In the next second, this strange tennis ball suddenly seemed to be under a spell and ricocheted towards Johnny Gerard's face at an astonishing speed.
"Outspin serve!"
Kirihara Akaya's eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
In fact, not only him, but everyone present thought that Marui Bunta hit a close-corner spinning serve.
After all, this serving style is one of the German team's signature techniques.
"The quality of this ball is really good, but unfortunately, it won't pose much of a threat to Johnny Gerard."
Lin Nan looked at the situation on the field and shook his head slightly, as if he already knew the outcome of this goal.
As soon as he finished speaking, Johnny Gerard on the court dodged sideways like lightning and easily avoided the flying tennis ball.
Then, he leaped on the spot like an nimble cheetah, and the whole person rushed through the air like an arrow.
At the same time, he swung the arm holding the racket violently and smashed it down with a thunderous force!
This blow was like a mountain crushing an egg, unstoppable.
However, this seemingly perfect outspin serve has a fatal flaw.
For the players in the U17 World Cup, once this serve fails to achieve the expected effect, it will leave the opponent with a great smash opportunity, thus causing themselves great trouble.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of the court.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Jackal Sangyuan's mouth, as if all this was within his expectations.
He had already predicted how Johnny Gerard would return the ball and quickly positioned himself in the path of the ball.
"I'm still here!"
Although Jackal Kuwahara's voice was not loud, it was full of confidence and determination.
Facing the volley from the Jackal Kuwabara, Johnny Gerard narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Jackal, my smash is not so easy to be countered."
The smile on the Jackal Sangyuan's face did not diminish at all. He responded slowly: "Are you sure you want to intercept in the front court?"
Johnny Gerard's heart tightened when he noticed the Jackal Sangyuan's actions.
He narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the movements of the jackal Kuwabara, and thought to himself, "This force is quite good. It seems that I can't fight back casually."
At this moment, the jackal Sangyuan suddenly revealed a sly smile.
The racket in his hand was like a sharp blade, cutting downwards suddenly.
"Cut the ball?"
Alexander Gerard was secretly delighted when he saw this, "This is a good opportunity for me to intercept in the front court!"
He moved quickly and rushed to the front of the jackal Sangyuan like a ghost.
In singles matches, front-court slices can often produce some unexpected results, but in doubles matches, this is definitely a taboo.
"Do you think I would make such a stupid mistake?"
The corners of Jackal Sangyuan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
"Actually, I know a thing or two about front-court interceptions."
He said it lightly, as if it was no big deal.
"Besides, I am a very studious person and I know how to take the essence and discard the dross."
There is a sense of confidence and calmness in the words of Jackal Kuwabara.
At this moment, the tennis ball hit the racket, making a crisp sound.
At this moment, the jackal Sangyuan took advantage of the situation and pulled back, cleverly using a little dragging technique.
This seemingly insignificant action made the impact force on the ball disappear without a trace in an instant.
Then he swung his racket and pushed the ball back easily.
The ball rotated extremely strongly, as if it contained endless power.
"Alexander Gerard!"
Johnny Gerard shouted from the backfield, a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"careful!"
He quickly reminded his partner, because the ball had too much spin and was far from as simple as it seemed.
However, Alexander Gerard did not seem to take Johnny's reminder to heart.
"No matter what, this is just a spinning ball in the front court. I'm sure to get this point!"
He snorted coldly and rushed forward fearlessly, wielding the racket in his hand like a sharp sword as he lashed out at the tennis ball.
Looking at Alexander Gerard's impulsive behavior, Jackal Sangyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"I'm not as reckless as you. I always act cautiously."
There was a hint of confidence in the voice of the Jackal Kuwahara, "If you hit the ball impulsively like this, you will only put yourself in a passive position."
Alexander Gerard didn't seem to take Jackal Kuwahara's words to heart. He held the racket tightly, ready to give the opponent a powerful counterattack.
"It's the first game, so of course I won't lose points easily!"
cried Alexander Gerard, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
However, at the moment his racket hit the tennis ball, something strange happened.
The tennis ball seemed to suddenly lose its power and fell straight down, bypassing Alexander Gerard's hitting range, and then flew out from the other side like a meteor.
"This...how is this possible?"
Alexander Gerard stared at the flying tennis ball with wide eyes and disbelief. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered something extremely incredible.
At this time, the Jackal Sangyuan seemed unusually calm. He didn't even look back to see where the tennis ball went, but turned around with his back to the court, as if all this was within his expectations.
boom--!
As the sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground was heard, the referee's whistle sounded at the right time.
"Bunta Marui and Jackal Kuwahara scored, the score is 15:0!"
The referee's voice echoed in the stadium.
The smile on the Jackal Sangyuan's face became even brighter. He looked at Alexander Gerard on the other side leisurely and said jokingly, "I told you, I won't make those stupid mistakes in this game."
"Wow, Jackal's frontcourt rotation and counter-attack style!"
Marui Fumita looked at the arena excitedly and shouted with anticipation.
Lin Nan on the side showed a curious look, and seemed to be very interested in this style of play.
The Jackal Kuwahara confidently explained, "I use my extra-long wingspan to create a unique way of hitting the ball with spin. No matter how the opponent hits back, I can always make the ball spin like I did just now."
Lin Nan asked doubtfully, "It seems like the effect is the same every time?"
Jackal Kuwabara smiled and patiently explained, "In fact, the way I play is different every time, just like a brand new technique. This is the advantage of having long arms and legs, which allows me to be more flexible and changeable when hitting the ball."
Indeed, due to the long arms of Jackal Kuwahara, the spin balls he hits are not only powerful but also have great angle changes, which undoubtedly brings huge pressure to the opponent.
Marui Bunta laughed and joked in the backcourt: "Jackal, you're so fierce right from the start, just turn up the intensity!"
The Jackal Kuwahara returned to his position, took a defensive stance, and responded: "I don't want to have an ugly fight in this match. I want to win beautifully!"
This kind of spin ball with a large change of direction will cause great trouble to the opponent whether it is serving or returning. Although the speed of the ball is not very fast, it is indeed very difficult to accurately deal with such a spin ball.
Even if the opponent can successfully return the attack, the power of the return attack will be greatly reduced due to the timing of the racket swing, and it will also give Marui Bunta enough time to prepare.
This is the most suitable technique that Jackal Kuwahara has tailored for himself, in addition to synchronization.
Marui Bunta was clear in his mind. He knew very well that when the Jackal Kuwabara used this backup technique, it meant that he began to take the game seriously.
"Wow, that's amazing! He can actually make such a big change of direction in such a short time. Most people can't do it!"
Someone in the audience exclaimed.
"Yeah, I've seen a lot of fast-ball volleys in the frontcourt, but this kind of super-high-intensity spinning ball is the first time I've seen it. It's amazing!"
echoed another.
"Don't underestimate this ball. This kind of ball with a big change of direction can only be played in the front court. If it is in the back court, it will easily fall into your own half of the court."
The person next to him analyzed.
"It's more than that. Even if the opponent successfully hits back with this kind of spin ball, it will also greatly suppress the opponent's counterattack. This is really both offensive and defensive!"
Someone else added.
"It seems that today's game is still a show for the Tank Nation Team!"
Someone sighed.
"Of course!"
Others echoed.
"These two guys are the future main doubles powerhouses of the German team!"
The audience in the stands began to whisper, "It looks like these two guys from the Turkish team are going to be in big trouble~"
At this moment, the Jackal Sangyuan made a sharp turn in the front court, which amazed everyone. The audience's discussions were instantly drowned out by the amazement.
"Wow, Jackal Kuwahara's ability to control rotation has really improved a lot!"
Borg suddenly spoke up, "He asked me for advice before. Because of his body size, spin has never been his strong point. But I found a way for him to perform high-intensity spin, but this kind of spin is not very threatening."
"But I didn't expect that he could switch between the front and back courts flexibly. This way, his threat is more than doubled!"
QP beside him also nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement, "His progress is indeed very obvious."
Don't underestimate this little bit of threat. In a tennis match, the outcome is often decided in an instant. Especially in the later stages of the game, every little detail may become a key factor in determining the success or failure of the game.
Moreover, when the opponent strikes back
In the world of tennis mechanics, every player has a delicate golden range of force when swinging the racket. Just like the precise meshing of the gears of a clock, when the tennis ball falls into this range, the players can hit the ball at the most perfect angle and with the most appropriate force, making it fly to the opponent's court like an arrow from a string.
However, once the incoming ball exceeds this carefully calculated force range, it is like a bowstring being pulled past its limit. Not only will the force be rapidly weakened like water flowing after a dam breaks, but the players' return habits formed over the years will also be completely disrupted, and the originally smooth batting rhythm will be instantly shattered.
As for why the force point is seriously affected, the root cause is the distortion of the return action. Imagine a dancer who suddenly steps on the wrong beat, and the beauty of body coordination is gone. In order to barely deal with the ball that is out of range, the players have to twist their bodies and forcibly adjust the swing angle, and the originally standard hitting action becomes distorted.
Under such circumstances, being able to hold on and not lose points is already an outstanding performance for most players, not to mention maintaining high-quality counterattacks. That is almost an impossible task, like trying to light a weak flame in a storm.
In order to crack the jackal's large-scale change of direction and rotation ball, a stronger cutting method may be an idea. But this is only a stopgap measure. Even if the cutting is successful, the flight trajectory and speed of the ball will be greatly reduced, which will give the opponent more time to react and adjust, and fall into a passive situation led by the opponent's rhythm, just like being stuck in a quagmire, and every step of struggle becomes more and more difficult.
Of course, in theory, there is a more ideal way to fight back - only by hitting with a force that exceeds the rotational force can this dilemma be broken. Unfortunately, in the entire U17 training camp, there are very few players who can do this.
Even Fuji, who is known for his comprehensive skills and delicate playing style, cannot be perfect when facing this high-intensity rotation and occasionally makes mistakes. Not to mention other players, who often can only sigh in front of this tennis ball with strange rotation.
Looking at the entire U17, perhaps only Lin Nan has the ability to crack it perfectly. But at this moment on the field, facing the Jackal Sangyuan, no one else has such ability.
With his super-wide defensive ability and the hard-to-defend large-scale change of direction and spin ball, the Jackal Kuwahara is like an indestructible tower wall in front of the net. Every time he hits the ball, it is like a battering ram hitting the gate, making the opponent's attack return in vain again and again, while he is as steady as a mountain, waiting for the moment when the opponent reveals a flaw.
"This kind of rotation with a large change of direction is indeed very threatening, but it can only be used over a short distance. As long as you grasp it well, you can still hit it back, but... the quality is not very high and it is difficult to score."
Ivan on the sidelines had a serious look on his face. He knew that in a match of this level, every detail could determine the outcome. The dazzling spinning ball tactics just now made him realize that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.
Whether it is Alexander Gerard or Johnny Gerard, it is difficult to find an effective way to deal with such a spinning ball in a short time. This tactic requires not only superb skills, but also precise coordination and tacit understanding.
