Chapter 430: Three Consecutive Wins, Defeating the Greek Team
Boom! ! !
The shocking explosion sounded throughout the stadium.
Whoosh!
Immediately.
Within the range of people's sight, they saw only a blue-white figure, flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Under the shocked eyes of the Greek team, Zeus' body hit the wall behind him firmly. The color of his face instantly turned from white to blue, and then turned red.
After landing.
Zeus' body swayed, his legs trembled, as if he was a frame that would collapse at any time.
"Game!"
"Japan, 2-3!"
Then.
The referee announced the score.
The entire stadium suddenly fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at Zeus in doubt. They were all thinking about what kind of shot could make this Greek team leader, who was comparable to a professional player, so embarrassed.
"Hiss"
At this time.
Orion, the junior high school student representative of the Greek team, seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes were fixed on the position where Zeus had stood. When the smoke dissipated, a broken deep pit appeared in front of everyone.
So, the sound of people sucking in cold air continued to sound.
"Oh my god!!!"
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Can tennis cause such terrible destructive power?"
Most of the spectators around the court were frightened by the scene in front of them. In particular, many spectators who had never been exposed to high-level tennis before felt that their three views were completely overturned.
"Captain!"
At this time.
Hermes looked at the boy who walked back into the court with concern: "Are you okay?"
Even a fool could see that Zeus had suffered the heavy blow just now, and it was impossible for him to be fine. But at this time, Hermes, including Laerceu and other Greek players, completely lost their original calmness.
Because they could never have imagined that in their hearts, Zeus, who was like the invincible god king in ancient Greek mythology, would be suppressed to such a state.
"I'm fine."
Zeus waved his hands, trying to restore his usual calmness. However, the smile he forced out gave people a feeling that it was not as natural as usual, but a little more stiff.
It's not his fault.
Because at this moment, Zeus' mind still lingered with the terrifying figure that he had just seen in the depths of the smoke, which was like a Shura ghost.
"Ghost Jujiro!"
Take a deep breath, Zeus's eyes turned to the mature young man with red hair and fierce appearance on the opposite side.
At this moment.
He felt unprecedented pressure.
The opponent's strength has definitely reached the advanced professional level. Especially the terrifying ghost power, which easily broke his powerful [Olympia Rainbow Light].
That feeling.
It's like a barrier blessed by the gods, which was easily torn apart by the black arms covered with solidified magma.
The two are no longer on the same level.
"His strength has definitely reached the level of big4 commanders!"
Zeus felt pressure.
But.
He, who was responsible for the team's victory, had no time to think about himself. He endured the discomfort in his chest, abdomen and back, spread his legs, put on a posture of being ready for battle, and looked at his opponent seriously.
At this moment.
Zeus was ready to risk his life.
Boom!
Ten minutes later.
Accompanied by an astonishing explosion, a figure was pushed out of the court.
Snap.
Then.
A burnt tennis ball rolled off Zeus's racket.
There were two very clear friction marks on the ground, representing that Zeus tried his best to resist the opponent in the duel with the ghost, but was eventually pushed out by the violent force.
Look carefully.
The shoes on Zeus' feet can even see the burnt marks. It is hard to imagine how much he paid to resist the ghost's ball.
"The game is over."
At the same time, the referee's voice also rang out: "Japanese team's Oni Jujiro wins, the score is 6-0!"
Plop!
The voice fell.
Zeus's body strength seemed to be drained in an instant, and the whole person fell forward uncontrollably. In the end, with the last bit of will, he supported his body with the racket.
Everyone could see Zeus's violently trembling hands. At this moment, it was because of the violent hitting of the ghost that he was exhausted.
"Lord Zeus, Lord Zeus?"
At this time.
Apollo Stephanopoulos, who had just gone out for warm-up, returned to the court, but just happened to see Zeus's embarrassing scene. This outstanding junior high school student of the Greek team immediately trembled in his heart, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
What about the key game for the Greek team's reversal?
He also hoped that with this game, the name of his executioner family would be known to the world. And, use the singles 2 game to prove himself.
As a result, it ended just after returning?
"Huh?"
Suddenly.
His eyes met with a boy with long blue-black hair and glasses in the Japanese team area. Seeing the other party's cold eyes, Apollo, the descendant of a family of executioners, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"That guy's eyes are so scary!"
At this moment.
He suddenly felt lucky. Fortunately, Zeus did not win, otherwise, his ending may not be any better than the guys in the previous three games.
"Hoo ho ho"
At this time.
Zeus, who was almost out of strength, gritted his teeth and walked to the net. Looking at the tall ghost, he took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me, who is stronger, your Excellency, or your general, Shin Ishikawa?"
"Well"
Unexpectedly, Zeus, known as one of Europe's top geniuses, would ask such a question.
He could remain silent and not answer.
However, after seeing the clear and slightly eager eyes of the opponent, Gui thought for a while and said: "He is one of the strongest players in the Japanese team!"
"Thanks. I understand."
Zeus nodded heavily to the ghost, and the expression on his face suddenly became sad. Then, dragging his tired body, he slowly walked towards the direction of the Greek team.
"General!"
Seeing Zeus who was a little depressed, Hermes immediately said: "Winning and losing are normal. Even a player like Novak Brynner cannot guarantee victory in every battle."
Zeus is only 15 years old, and the new World Cup in the next two years will be his strongest state as a high school student.
Hermes, who is already 17 years old, does not want the failure of this game to damage the opponent's self-confidence.
"I know."
Zeus shook his head, but couldn't help showing a bitter smile on his face: "Senior Hermes, I just think... I am too naive."
"General!"
Hermes' expression changed again.
He could clearly hear a bit of lack of interest in Zeus's words. The person in front of him had completely lost his confidence and calmness in the past. It was as if he had transformed from an invincible god-king to an ordinary person in an instant.
"Don't worry, I won't give up tennis."
At this time, Zeus shook his head, with an expectant smile on his face: "With so many outstanding players, how could I give up something as interesting as tennis."
After experiencing this failure, his mood improved a bit. On the basis of the original so-called omniscience and omnipotence, it has taken a step forward.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Having said this, Zeus turned his head and glanced at the rest area where the ghosts and others were. He raised his head again and looked far behind, where Ishikawa and other representatives who had nothing to do with this competition were.
"This year's Japanese team is more terrifying than anyone else imagined!"
"The group stage match between Greece and Japan is now over. Japan won 3-0 and scored 1 point in Group B."
After a while.
The referee announced the result of the game.
The fans of the Japanese team cheered excitedly, while the Greek team, on the other hand, seemed extremely quiet.
but.
Probably because Zeus's performance was relatively free and easy, the Greek team lost the game, but overall it was not too depressed.
"Let's go."
Zeus, who had regained some energy, smiled and said: "It's time to go back and have a good rest. There is another game against the Australian team in the afternoon."
"Um."
Everyone nodded.
Although they all know that this year's Greek team will most likely be eliminated in the first round of the World Cup. But Zeus's emotions can still infect them, and even the subtle influence is deeper than before.
the other side.
The [Ghost] team also joined Ishikawa and others under the leadership of Ghost. Since there was no game in the afternoon, the Japanese team returned to the hotel after the game.
Perhaps because of the victory in the first game, the coaching staff's requirements for everyone have been much lowered. Mifune made an exception. As long as the team members came back during the prescribed rest time, it would not be a violation.
then.
All the players shouted that the head coach was wise and left the hotel one after another, wandering around Melbourne.
Of course, some people choose to maintain a training pace.
"Senior Yuezhi, are you there?"
In the hotel corridor, a young man with silver-gray hair knocked on the door of a certain room.
"Please come in."
After a while, a cold voice came from inside.
The boy, Shiraishi, the minister of Shitenhoji Temple, opened the door and saw Ochi sitting at the desk in the hotel, reading a tennis magazine.
"senior."
Entering the room, Shiraishi walked up to Ochi and said solemnly: "I want to further improve my strength before tomorrow's game. So, I went to consult Ishikawa-kun. He told me that only you can help me, so please. !”
Finished.
Shiraishi bowed deeply to Ochi.
"Ishikawa?"
Yue Zhi raised his eyebrows lightly.
Then, he looked at Shiraishi again and felt the sincerity in the other person's eyes. He thought about it and nodded: "I understand."
Four p.m.
Pitch 14 at Melbourne Park.
The host Australia team (18) ended the showdown with Greece (10). The game lasted four games, and in the end, the Australian team won with a total score of 3-1.
After the game.
The atmosphere of the Greek team seemed very low for a time. This means that they not only missed the first round of the World Cup, but also lost all three games, ending this World Cup trip in the most embarrassing manner.
"It's okay, everyone."
Seeing everyone's low mood, Hermes said: "I believe that this experience will make many of you stronger in the World Cup two years later!"
Apollo, Orion, Evangelos and others looked slightly moved. Many other first-year high school team members also felt much relieved.
Yes.
Although they failed this year, two years from now will be when Greece U17 will be its strongest. By then, with Zeus' talent, he will surely become a professional player in the true sense.
Their Greek team may even replace other teams and become the new big4!
"Tsk!"
But at this moment, a slightly mocking voice extinguished their beautiful illusions: "They are just a bunch of lost dogs. They can't even defeat our second team, and they are still dreaming about the future. It's simply ridiculous!"
Uh-huh!
Everyone turned to look subconsciously.
But they saw a white young man with an airplane head holding a Dalmatian dog, standing not far away, looking at them with contempt.
"What did you say?"
Apollo and Orion, from a family of executioners, immediately glared at each other.
"Why, you are so angry when your painful points are pointed out?"
The young man at the head of the plane, the representative of the Australian team, JJ Gorgias, said with a playful look.
He is inherently arrogant and domineering, and he never shows mercy when speaking. Especially for these guys, who in his opinion are just making excuses to cover up his mistakes, he will naturally not show mercy when mocking them.
"Asshole!"
At this time.
Hercules was also angry. He took a step forward and stared at the other person fiercely: "You'd better take back what you just said, otherwise"
"What else?"
Gorgias smiled.
This is what he likes to do the most. After irritating his opponent, he then uses his powerful strength to teach the opponent a lesson and enjoy the fun.
Gorgias was naturally overjoyed to see someone on the other side come forward. He had even seen the shock and awe on the faces of the other Greek team players after he gave the bearded man a severe lesson.
"Your Excellency, that's it for now."
But at this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded.
Um?
Gorgias looked over with a frown.
But there was only a young man who was only a little over 1.5 meters tall. Surrounded by everyone, he looked towards him and said: "This year's game has nothing to do with us. But the Australian team's game will continue."
"cut."
Unexpectedly, Gorgias sneered and said: "I don't care about the competition at all. In comparison, I am more interested in you guys."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zeus playfully.
Unexpectedly, the latter smiled and said to him: "But, Your Excellency, are you really not interested in the Australian team's game?"
Uh-huh!
This glance.
As if pointing straight into Gorgias' heart, the strong impact made his heart beat faster instinctively. Deep in my heart, an unreasonable fear couldn't help but emerge.
"Then, what kind of look is that? Wait, wait, I can't move?!"
Gorgias was horrified.
This was the first time he encountered someone who could immobilize him with just one look.
"Zeus? Zeus Iliopoulos! One of the top talents in European tennis?!"
Suddenly.
Gorgias' mind couldn't help but think of what his brother had said about him being the player with the most potential in the future tennis world. Originally, he didn't take it seriously at all, but now, he truly realized how terrifying these people were.
"Let's go."
Seeing the opponent's reaction, Zeus said lightly and led the players of the Greek team to leave the field.
"Well"
After the other party left for a long time, Gorgias, who had just recovered his mind, could not help but feel a thick haze in his heart.
"Such people actually lost to that Japanese team?"
Take a deep breath.
Gorgias' eyes couldn't help but become serious.
"Perhaps I should go find Noah and ask about strategies for tomorrow morning's game."
