Chapter 371: Atobe Forced Into a Desperate Situation
quiet!
The huge stadium suddenly became quiet.
Both junior high school students and high school students looked at the handsome boy with stiff movements at the bottom line in shock.
"No dead ends?!"
Atobe narrowed his eyes and locked his gaze on his opponent. At that moment, he couldn't see clearly how his opponent hit the tennis ball.
"really."
With his eyes focused, he held the hand of the racket and subconsciously exerted a little force: "This guy has been hiding his strength."
If you look at it this way.
The other party's panic and shock just now were just a deliberate show for him.
"Atobe was fooled!"
Shishido frowned lightly and said, "Irie-senpai's show of weakness was very successful. Atobe was completely deceived."
"Um."
Hiji and Xiangri nodded.
On the cliff of the back mountain, they lived and trained with Irie for nearly a month. He knows the opponent's strength and character very well.
To some extent, compared to the ghost who has a strict personality and strict requirements. Irijiang, who usually smiles and looks gentle, is actually more dangerous.
Ninzu and Akutagawa also narrowed their eyes.
They knew very well that in previous games, Atobe was able to score points in one go and with great momentum, largely because of his ability to see through the opponent's weaknesses [World of Ice].
but now.
The world of ice was shattered.
Atobe wants to score unless he further strengthens his vision. Otherwise, the next game may not be so easy.
After all, although Atobe is very strong, he still has hidden tricks that he hasn't used yet. But Renzu had a hunch that this Irie might also be hiding a very powerful trump card.
"Atobe-kun."
On the court.
Irie looked at his opponent with a smile: "You seem to be very unhappy that you failed to win the game in one go. Let me guess, you should be planning to further unleash your strength, right?"
Atobe didn't answer.
But he felt a little bit more unhappy about entering Jiang for no reason. I really want to use a tennis ball to block the opponent's mouth.
"bring it on."
Irie took out the tennis ball and said with a smile: "Don't be polite and attack me!"
Bang!
Immediately.
He hit the tennis ball over.
The serve was very fast, but Atobe's reaction was not slow either. The moment the tennis ball hit the ground, he also moved to the front of the route and swung the racket in his hand quickly.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound.
A stream of light shot out like a gust of wind, aiming at the backhand position of Rui Jiang and falling rapidly.
"Ah, ah, ah."
Irie seemed not to have expected Atobe's reaction to be so quick and intense.
After seeing the trajectory of the tennis ball, he seemed startled and hurriedly ran towards the landing point.
Snapped!
After finally catching up, he hit the tennis ball back with a somewhat messy movement.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Atobe sneered.
He knew very well that the panic in front of Irie was just staged for him.
"Does this guy really think I'm an idiot?"
Thoughts turned.
Atobe quickly caught up with Tennis and launched a more powerful attack with cold eyes.
"Oops!"
On the opposite side, Irie, who had finally managed to get back the previous ball, showed a panicked expression again.
Subsequently.
He reacted quickly again and hurried towards the tennis ball. It took a lot of effort to hit the tennis ball back.
"this"
Everyone was stunned.
Especially some other junior high school students, such as Kirihara, Kamio and others who stayed in the base, looked at Irie in disbelief.
unimaginable.
This turned out to be the reaction of a master who killed Jibu with one goal and silenced the whole audience.
"Is he acting?"
The corner of Kikumaru's mouth twitched: "It's too fake. Not to mention Atobe-senpai, even Horio can't deceive him, right?"
"Forehead."
Hear the words.
The expressions of everyone in Qingxue couldn't help but become weird.
But the expressions of Tezuka and Fuji were still very serious. It is true that Irie's acting skills are very poor, but such a person does not look like he can defeat Atobe with one goal.
After all, moves and movements can be deliberately imitated. But the perfect and otherworldly temperament that he had in the moment of killing Jibu just now could not be acted out.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
but.
As the game continues.
Under the attack of Atobu, Irie was in a state of extreme embarrassment. Gradually, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his unnecessary movements became more visible to the naked eye.
He looked like he was being forced into a panic and had no idea what to do.
"Irie-senpai."
Liu narrowed his eyes. Although Atobe was very strong, he did not think that Irie would be a character who could be easily suppressed.
"Is there a possibility?"
At this time, Qian next to him suddenly said: "He was originally performing, but because he was too involved in the role, he really fell into the drama. By the time he wanted to change his tactics, it was already too late."
"this"
Hear the words.
The others were stunned.
Qian's guess sounded a bit absurd at first, but if you look carefully at Irie's state at this time, there is no trace of acting at all. It seems to confirm Qian's conjecture.
but.
People like Tezuka, Fuji and others still have doubts in their hearts. For them, anything is possible until a goal is won.
Snapped!
But that's it.
During the attack, Atobe suddenly fired a cold arrow and forcibly knocked the racket off Irie's hand.
"This is."
Everyone's eyes twitched, and Hyotei's team members were so excited that they blurted out: "Atobe's unique move leads to the waltz of destruction!"
Uh-huh!
Mid-air.
Atobe leaped into the air like an eagle, holding the racket with one hand and making a smash.
"Let's see if you can continue to act this time!"
Thoughts turned.
With a flash of light in his eyes, he aimed at the side of Irie. The crystal icicle that represented his weakness was to smash the tennis ball out.
Bang!
Smash sound.
But at the same time, the icicles that represented the dead end of the river in Atobe's eyes also shattered at the same time.
"What?!"
Atobe's pupils shrank.
Immediately.
Then Irie reached over with a smile on his face, picked up the racket on the ground, and aimed it at the incoming ball.
Bang!
Pale yellow light bloomed under the feet that had not yet landed.
"30-0!"
The referee spoke, and the entire stadium fell into silence again.
"Gudu."
Riji, Feng and others swallowed subconsciously.
This was the first time they had seen someone use this method to defeat Atobe's trick.
"so."
Renzu looked at Irie solemnly: "He has been performing before, including after the racket was knocked away by Atobe. In fact, he was actually acting for us on purpose."
"Well."
Hear the words.
The eyes of Shishido, Akutagawa, Maki and others could not help but sink.
It was the first time they saw such a bad-tempered player. Treat the game as a stage for performance, and use the performance to make your opponents take action as fun.
"Atobe."
immediately.
Everyone looked at Atobe.
The first time may be said to be a mistake, but to be deceived by the opponent twice in a row is too embarrassing.
Especially this was Hyōtei's minister, the arrogant and ridiculously self-esteemed Atobe Keigo.
Hyokui's team members were the most nervous.
Because they didn't know if Atobe, who had been humiliated one after another, would lose his mind because of this.
but.
Surprisingly, Atobe turned around and left without any facial expression.
"oh?"
Seeing this, Irie raised his eyebrows in surprise: "As expected of the Hyokui's minister, his control over his emotions is indeed quite good."
Bang!
Subsequently.
He served and waited for Atobe to attack again.
As a result, the opponent did not attack aggressively like before. Instead, he used slices from the left and right to start a tug-of-war at the bottom line.
"Have you calmed down?"
Irie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Instead of aggressively advancing, I chose to test the opponent's strength. I have to say that your playing style is very stable, but... it's too boring!"
Bang!
Immediately.
Enter the river and take action.
He suddenly speeded up the ball and hit the tennis ball towards the corner of Atobe's backhand. After the opponent counterattacks, strike in the opposite direction again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After several rounds in a row, Atobe was beaten to the point where he was completely helpless.
Bang!
finally.
Irie hit a diagonal kick and got the point.
"40-0!"
"Is that the only extent?"
Irie raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at Atobe with dissatisfaction: "I thought you were different from ordinary players. It seems I was wrong. After all, you can't get rid of that tacky tennis."
Bang!
Finished.
Just hit the tennis ball out again.
Afterwards, Irie's strength exploded, and with extremely fast attacking rhythm, Atobe was completely beaten to the point where he couldn't even lift his head.
Bang!
Another goal to win this game.
"Game!"
"Irie, 1-3!"
As I entered the river seriously, the situation changed.
And then, his playing style became more and more fierce, attacking Atobe's weakness, as if he wanted to make the opponent look embarrassed in public.
"This guy's tennis ball."
Outside the stadium, representatives from each school frowned.
Yes, Irie's tennis is very good, his style is fierce and his pace is fast, even Atobe can't deal with it for a while.
but.
This style of play was clearly designed to make Atobe look embarrassed. Could it be said that his purpose of playing on the court is to satisfy his vulgar taste?
Bang!
"Game!"
"Irie, 2-3!"
But.
The situation of the game was completely tilted towards Irie's side. This made him even more proud, and he kept mocking Atobe, his face full of arrogance.
"Well, he's the kind of player who uses his opponent's emotional feedback to satisfy his own needs, right?"
At this time, Guanyue said thoughtfully: "Such a person doesn't care about the score. He only wants to be satisfied if his opponent makes a fool of himself."
Hear the words.
Others looked strange, while Ice Emperor's team members looked at each other in confusion.
Because if they remember correctly, Atobe used to enjoy humiliating and belittling his opponents on the court.
It wasn't until Ishikawa appeared and swept across Hyokui like a miracle, and even defeated Atobe, that his character and fighting style changed.
did not expect.
On this court, they actually saw the first and most primitive appearance of Atobe.
Bang!
Another buzzer beater.
The referee on the high chair said with a serious face: "Game! Enter the river, 3-3!"
In the blink of an eye, Irie won three games in a row, equaling the score he had lost to Atobe because of his deliberate show of weakness.
Off the field.
The high school students were fine, but the junior high school students looked somewhat solemn. Although Irie's character is very bad, his strength is real.
It's hard to imagine how aggrieved they would feel if they were suppressed by such people!
But, Atobe has an extremely strong character. With his arrogant personality developed since childhood, coupled with his own resources, talents and strength, his self-esteem is probably stronger than anyone else's.
Facing such a situation, I'm afraid it would be more uncomfortable for him than killing him, right?
"What's wrong, Atobe-kun?"
On the court, seeing Aobe lowering his head and saying nothing, Irie said with a smile: "Isn't that the level of Hyotei's chief? Let me see what you are really capable of?" "
He was still taunting Atobe.
And when he spoke, he looked so ambitious that the people around him, especially Hyokui's team members, were so angry that they were itching their teeth.
If it had been them, it would have exploded long ago. Even if you put your life on the line, you have to make the other party pay the price.
But Atobe always remained silent.
The way he lowered his head seemed to be shaken by his opponent and his belief collapsed.
"Atobe."
Renzu had a worried look on his face.
Although he knew very well that if he was really attacked, he would be so angry that he would explode. Therefore, if a counterattack breaks out, you will definitely fall into the opponent's trap.
but.
Atobe's condition is too sluggish.
He was very worried that the other party was really beaten to pieces by Irie. I can't even think of fighting back or resisting.
or.
Atobe was frightened by the other party's performance.
I am afraid that if I am serious, the other party will catch me. Therefore, he was undecided and fell into hesitation.
Either way, it's not good news for Atobe. Renzu even guessed that what this high school student named Irie wanted to see was Atobe's current reaction.
"Well!"
Think of this.
Renzu felt his heart tremble.
Because he discovered that no matter what Atobe's reaction was, it seemed to be part of Irie's plan. To a certain extent, Atobe has even turned around and fallen into Irie's 'ice world', with flaws everywhere.
"Ah."
but.
At this moment, Atobe smiled.
Under the surprised gazes of others, he slowly raised his head and looked at Irie opposite him with a calm expression: "It's nothing, I just think it's right for the game to start from now on."
Um?
Hear the words.
Everyone frowned deeper and looked at Atobe with even more confusion.
"interesting."
But after hearing Atobe's words, Irie laughed: "I saw it right, you are different from other clichéd guys."
At this time.
He no longer had the smug and triumphant look he had before. Instead, there was appreciation for Atobe.
"this"
See this.
Others are still confused.
"I see."
Renzu reacted and said thoughtfully: "Atobe has never let the opponent's words weaken his will. What he wanted from the beginning was just to return to the original score."
score?
Uh-huh!
Everyone looked up and looked at the words [3-3] on the score board, and they couldn't help but look surprised.
