Chapter 104.2 - Stay Away # 2

The play styles of the two players, who correctly recognized each other's skills, soon turned into a form suitable for taking down opponents.

Fernando started the ball by giving up the front and opening the loophole. Han Woo-jin's stroke, trying to take it straight and drag it to the front, was the opposite. So, until one side took the lead, the game had to come and go.

Paaang!

Fernando never tires of it and hits the serve against Han Woo-jin's body or the outer court. It was evidence that the power heater was pinpointing the tricky track. Even reading the vulnerabilities of Hanwoojin, which I first met today, seemed to ignore the depth of experience.

'That's too much to bother me.'

Han Woo-jin's lips were skewed as the sub came to the place. It wasn't a serve that couldn't be received, but it never gives up an angle that can be hit hard. It's no surprise that I'm already picking up your game and getting upset.

In addition, there was no proper treatment. I don't know if I can perfectly predict where Fernando's serve will come, but the psychological warfare of the world's sixth-ranked veteran is not that easy. However, even Hanwoojin, who has more experience than his peers, could not put the experience accumulated in Korea and the experience of the world stage on the same line.

Paaang!

The ball jumped over the net with a slight fall than usual. If you hit the strength of Hanwoojin, even if it's awkward posture, its own speed comes out. If you have a half-way reflexes will miss the ball in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, the opponent was not a half-hearted figure.

Paang!

"Game Garcia!"

A moment later, Fernando's racket bounced off the ball as if it were an uppercut. It's a good drop volley. It was a great skill to stab the opponent's huh.

'I thought it was advantageous… Rather, it could be bothersome. Did you overstate your opponent's capabilities? '

This is a game score of 3-4. Both sides have come to play with their sub-games thoroughly defended.

Han Woo-jin, who took his breath for a while, reflected his prejudice against Fernando's insatiable play. What fool will you face yourself from the front as a power heater? Moreover, the opponent was not stupid enough to win or lose because of his pride.

-You will succeed in defending your own sub game again, Fernando! I'm showing a stable play, wondering if there was another player who showed such perfect defense against Hanwoojin.

-Doesn't it mean that the name of the world's sixth place is not easy? I'm handing over Hanwoojin's stroke very smoothly. If it goes like this, one set should consider not only a deuce but also a tie brake.

The two commentators exchanged words with serious faces. Even with their eyes, Hanwoojin's play has been conveyed as if the jaw was blocked. It was Han Woo-jin's style to push powerful strokes endlessly, but he could not show his strength against Fernando.

In this situation, Fernando was able to reduce the power of Hanwoo's stroke with an exquisite serve, but Fernando was the owner of a larger build than Hanwoojin. It was not difficult to shed.

And the problem was not only that. Hanwoojin's physical strength, hitting with the best strength in a flimsy position, was inevitably larger than Fernando's smooth handing over of the ball. If you do not take advantage of the physical disadvantages to take on the situation in many ways becomes more difficult.

Unlike Fernando, who has nothing to do with the game, Hanwoojin has a clear reason to break the current situation.

'Would you like to use it now?'

He was now thinking about whether or not to use the "strong hitter," who had worked in the second half of the game against Choi Yeon-hyuk. I tried to find Fernando's gap in the 7 games, but I couldn't see how to attack because he was a good opponent not only in technology but also in psychological warfare. It was time for special measures.

"Game 8, Ujh Han to Serve!"

The short breaks between games ended with the call of the referee. The two players climbed onto the court without anybody first, and Han Woo-jin looked across the net, taking the ball from the ball boy.

There, Fernando, with no disturbing breath, was facing him with cold eyes.

"… Good."

Hanwoojin decided to hold the racket firmly. On the forearm, large blood vessels emerged, and the soles of the grass scooped up the ground.

[Increases your Strength Stat by 3 for 1 stroke]

[Applied to the sub. The restraint of the sub increases.]

[1 second stiffness will be charged immediately after stroke]

If you are already familiar with the message, do not confirm it. It would be more obvious to use the Stinger, but it was hard to throw a gamble that consumes a lot of SP when the final was held the next day. First, he needed to use a slugger to reverse the flow of the game.

When the ball bounced off the edge of the finger, Hanwoojin's upper body rotated like a vortex.

Paa Aang!

The ball, which even exceeded the visual acuity of the world ranker at once, cut out the grass court. The chopped grass was scattered in the wind, and soon afterwards, the referee who grasped the situation raised his voice.

"Fifteen Love (15: 0)!"

For Fernando, who was used to falling restraints, it was as if the sky was dry. He glanced over Hanwoojin with the eyes that he did not understand. Does your opponent's restraint rise again? It was a story out of common sense.

But Han Woo-jin had no intention of asking for his understanding.

Paa Aang!

Subsequently, Serve seized the moment without Fernando getting used to restraint again. Left to right, right to left. The green-green flash, which alternates between the side and center lines, devoured the court without receiving a single resistance. In the meantime, Service Ace battered the game.

"Game Ujin Han!"

There was no other side of the game, no side, or agitation. After all, winning or losing of sub games is not important. The key was whether or not Hanwoojin could play the next game.

'come!'

There was a tension between the two players who quickly changed the ball. It's because of the intuition that this game is a set of watersheds. The narrators also mixed the narration accordingly to the unusual atmosphere.

-Hanwoojin player to raise the momentum can see the 9 games will be a game. Do you have a big influence on winning or losing first set? Do not miss this opportunity, even if you do not overdo it. Hanwoojin player!

-As stated by Park Commentary, it is common sense that a player who preoccupies one set wins the odds. Even Hanwoojin's winning rate is over 90%! It can be said that it shows how important it is to overpower.

In fact, the player who took the first set often took the lead in the whole game. It was even more so if it were hard to stop when it came to power heaters. Apart from the psychological factor, taking a set score first will make the next race more aggressive.

Lowering his posture, Han Woo-jin's body was pulled tight like a tiger just before his prey. It was a posture to prepare a kind of post-employment system to receive immediately even if the serve fell to any position.

No matter how experienced Fernando would have to deal with such air-wrapped enemies. He threw the ball up with a hardened face.

Paaang!

A round ball that bounces inside the service court. If Hanwoojin stepped up normally, the sub who would have fallen on the side of the forefoot beat the net. However, to cope with Fernando's serve more smoothly, Han Woojin did not move his foot on the baseline until he was confident of the ball's trajectory.

And when the ball bounced back on the soft grass, Hanwoojin's calf and thighs unfolded as if they were bowing the bow.

Paa Aang!

Rising!

Before the bounds of the ball died, the racket opened. Hanwoojin's legs and strength beyond specifications were not enough to bring the speed of the ball to a bizarre level. The creeping blow of the spine ripped off the sound of the wind.

However, there was no embarrassment in Fernando's face facing him.

'It's quite fast. It's not a level that I can't respond to. It's still very young. Mr. Han. '

No matter how fast you read the ball, it's just a phone punch. Fernando erected the racket at an angle to shed the stroke as it has been. His skills, combined with time and experience, cannot be broken by plunging into a boar prepaid.

Obviously so far, it has been.

Fang

The moment the ball touches the racket. Fernando's face stained with dense amazement. Power was a step up from now. Don't you think the ball you've hit before wasn't power? An incredible reality has crushed his hands. The ball, which had to be gently shed, was already pushing the racket up and floating.

'No!'

Intense resistance, which was not uttered by words, rose above the face, but no one could stop the ball with his face. Han Woo-jin's intense return pushed Fernando's racket and dropped off the court.

"Love Fifteen (0: 15)!"

The call of a heartless referee bore a comic ringing against the two players' faces. We found a good balance between Fernando and Han Woo-jin's face. Han Woo-jin's stroke, which combines the power and tactics of the slugger, proved unacceptable even by Fernando's skill.

In the end, it was Han Woo-jin who scored one set of scores.

***

However, contrary to the expectation that it would be a little easier to hold one set. The game grew fierce. As soon as he passed away with the trick, Fernando went straight to the front. His ability to add force by technique or tactics was not to be seen.

-Fernando took two sets at the end of a fierce deuce. I'm afraid that age doesn't fit. Instead of losing one set and losing momentum, I'm heating up!

-Still, three sets fell into Hanwoojin's hand again. Because he moved too hard in the second set, Fernando's movement got a lot slower. I don't know how much you got back in the 4th set.

For Han Woo-jin, it was more than a classic. Do you think you're going to resist this after you've been pushed by force? This exchange of set scores was due to Fernando's skill exceeding his imagination.

Even if it was a frontal fight, Fernando did not accept an honest stroke match. Drop shot. Robe. By using a delicate drive aimed at the left and right sidelines, he gradually scored points to bypass Hanwoojin's power. Forehand's skill was almost complete, even Hanwoojin had to learn a lot of high-level techniques.

However, there was a limit to what you could do with finesse. Han Woo-jin confronted Fernando and stole a little bit of his technique. Gradually, the timing or pitch of puncturing his hurdles has been read first. As a result, Fernando, who lost his last advantage, had no strength left to balance the game.

Nevertheless, Fernando was defending the game, making four deuce points in four sets.

'Commitment… Is that?

Hanwoojin was also familiar with the feelings of an adult's eyes.

Inexorably rushing toward the goal.

Pride in our efforts.

A fierce fight without knowing how to break.

It was a life attitude that had no choice but to empathize as a human who seriously pursued the absolute power of the emperor. I was impressed that I was tired of the skills I had trained to deal with Pedro.

A strong commitment came to Hanwoojin's face, who understood Fernando through the ball. There was only one thing he could do for someone who had walked the same path. It was the best honor to surpass Fernando and climb up, showing the man who overcame even the emperor.

'It's ok to fall now, Mr Garcia.'

The set points for 4 sets of 5-2 and 8 games are 40:30. The ball emerged from the hand of Han Woo-jin, who reached the match point.

[Applied to 'Stinger'. SP consumed is doubled.]

[Currently, cool time applies to 'Stinger'. "Stinger" will be disabled for 2 points.]

[If the service ace is established, the penalty applied will be reduced to 50%.]

The strongest combination he could speak has finished. Hanwoojin handed over his last greeting to the man who still cannot give up over the net.

'I won't waste your defeat in vain.'

Right after that, the wind was torn.
