Chapter 884 Genius Gemini Combination
"The German doubles genius duo is truly worthy of its reputation!"
Ivan couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at this situation, the German team will still maintain strong competitiveness in the doubles field in the future, and there will be no gap."
He turned his gaze to Marui Bunta in the backcourt, thinking to himself: "I wonder what powerful moves this guy has? He hasn't made a move yet..."
At this time, everyone on the Turkish team looked unhappy. After they lined up and saw the German team's lineup, Alfonso Solon quickly simulated the singles and doubles lineups of both teams in his mind.
The German team's lineup is actually not difficult to guess. Bunta Marui, Jackal Kuwahara, Schneider and Berti are obviously doubles players, so the rest are naturally singles players.
However, the Turkish team's doubles strength is clearly at a disadvantage. After all, Berti and Schneider are a world-renowned doubles combination, and it is not easy to defeat them.
In singles, Borg and Bismarck were very strong and put great pressure on their opponents.
In this situation, Marui Bunta, Jackal Kuwahara and the first-year student Echizen Ryoma became the key figures in the team to find opportunities.
However, it is not easy to win this game. The best result is of course to win all the doubles, but even if you only win one point, it can bring a glimmer of hope to the team.
Unfortunately, Murphy's Law always seems to come true at critical moments, and the most undesirable things often become reality.
The outcome of this match will largely depend on the performance of Johnny Gerard and Alexander Gerard.
Ivan looked at the situation on the field, shook his head helplessly, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
He knew very well that Alexander Gerard's old problem had come back again, but he also understood that even if he was alert, facing such a ball, he could only choose to fight back and could not escape.
At this moment on the field, Alexander Gerard's face looked extremely ugly.
He did not have a broad vision like Ivan. In his eyes, the loss of this point was entirely due to his own blind arrogance.
As his partner, Johnny Gerard, with his keen insight, saw at a glance that his teammate Alexander Gerard was deeply trapped in his own mental dilemma.
He spoke without hesitation to comfort her, "Don't worry, Alexander Gerard. The game has just begun! Even if I were to deal with that attack just now, I'm afraid it would be quite difficult."
Alexander Gerard nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Although he knew in his heart that what Johnny Gerard said was true, these words sounded more like a comfort to him.
At this moment, only the sounds of bang, bang, bang were heard on the field.
It turned out that Marui Bunta was hitting the tennis racket on the ground, making a rhythmic sound.
The crisp beating sound seemed to have some kind of magic, which gradually quieted down the originally noisy stadium and attracted the audience's attention to the court.
Immediately afterwards, there was another bang!
Without hesitation, Marui Bunta swung his arms as fast as lightning and hit the tennis ball hard.
The ball was so fast, like an arrow shot from a bow, flying straight towards Johnny Gerard.
Thankfully, it wasn't a spin shot.
This is undoubtedly good news for Johnny Gerard, because the threat posed by the spinning ball is extremely great, and no matter how you fight back, it is difficult to completely avoid its impact.
"What a fast flat shot!"
Johnny Gerard's heart sank.
He widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the white tennis ball that was rushing towards him like lightning.
Although he had long known that the physical fitness of the German team members was extremely amazing.
This is no secret in the international tennis world.
But Lin Nan's joining still made the overall five-dimensional level of the entire German team soar to an astonishing height.
However, he never expected that the German team's strength would be so exaggerated.
This seemingly ordinary flat shot can actually reach a speed of 210KM/H.
From the whistling sound of the ball, one can easily tell the powerful impact force contained in this ball.
In an instant, a ray of light flashed.
Johnny Gerard's body seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force, and was instantly covered with a layer of gray light.
This is his psychological suggestion of self-strengthening!
It is also his status skill.
In this state, his five-dimensional abilities will be significantly enhanced, and his perception will become extremely sharp.
Johnny Gerard knew very well that facing such a strong opponent, he must not relax at all, let alone give up any point easily.
So, he did not hesitate to use his trump card and maximize his potential.
And for the German team, this is no secret.
After all, they know each other very well, so there is no need to hide anything.
"I was actually forced to give a psychological hint. It seems that the strength of the German team should not be underestimated."
Alfonso Solon, the Turkish team's military advisor, sighed helplessly.
There was a hint of worry on his face.
Although this was expected, being forced to reveal one's cards so quickly was not a good thing after all.
At this moment Johnny Gerard suddenly shouted:
"Perceived!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the net like lightning, swinging the racket in his hand as fast as the wind.
There was a loud "bang" and the sound of impact suddenly rang out.
A golden tennis ball suddenly appeared on the empty racket, struggling as if trying to break free from the racket.
"210KM/H ball speed, my god!"
The audience on the sidelines exclaimed in unison.
"No, this ball was hit back, this..."
Someone shouted in disbelief.
"I'm right, the intensity of this game will definitely be very high."
echoed another.
"Oh my god, the ball is going at 210 km/h. It was intercepted right away. This is incredible!"
The audience in the stands exclaimed in amazement, staring at Marui Bunta and Johnny Gerard with astonishment.
Just as everyone was shocked, with a "bang", Johnny Gerard swung his racket violently and pushed the tennis ball back hard.
The tennis ball flew out like a cannonball, its speed was astonishing, but the huge impact force did not seem to have much impact on him.
It turns out that Johnny Gerard was born with great strength, which enabled him to easily deal with such high-speed tennis balls.
Although Marui Bunta had the blessing of runes, the force he wanted to exert to break through Johnny Gerard's endurance was still slightly insufficient.
However, his counterattack speed is not slow either, reaching an astonishing 200KM/H!
And the force of the counterattack was very strong.
At this moment, the jackal Kuwahara in the front court quickly moved to the path of the ball, and with amazing speed and agility, perfectly replicated the way of returning the previous ball - cutting with both hands.
After a fierce tug of war with the ball for a while, the Jackal Kuwabara finally managed to cut back Johnny Gerard's super strong return.
With a "swish" sound, the friction sound resounded throughout the entire stadium, as if announcing the power of this ball to the audience.
Jackal Kuwahara once again demonstrated his amazing skills, performing a large change of direction and spin.
This change of direction makes the ball's trajectory unpredictable, putting tremendous pressure on the opponent.
"coming!"
Alexander Gerard was shocked when he saw this. He knew very well the horror of such a large change of direction and rotation, and he must not take it lightly.
He responded quickly, holding the racket with both hands and using a cutting motion in the opposite direction to try to reduce the spin on the ball.
However, it was too difficult for Alexander Gerard to do this.
Despite his best efforts, the ball was not successfully caught on the center point of the racket.
Seeing that the ball was about to go out of control, Alexander Gerard did not hesitate at all. He decisively pushed the ball to the front court, hoping to save the ball.
Unfortunately, since the position of the racket face when hitting the ball was not very good, the effect of this shot was not ideal.
"Beep."
With a crisp whistle, the ball just left the racket and the referee reacted quickly, blowing the whistle and making a violation gesture.
"Alexander Gerard fouled by touching the net, one penalty point!"
The referee's voice echoed clearly and decisively over the court.
This sudden penalty shocked everyone present, and the originally tense and exciting rhythm of the game was instantly interrupted.
"No way, you can make such a low-level mistake."
The audience in the stands began to whisper and talk among themselves.
"It's not entirely his fault. I don't think he knows how to return a spinning ball with such a big change of direction."
Someone tried to defend Alexander Gerard.
"That's true. If it were me, I would probably handle it even worse than him."
Another person echoed.
"The large change of direction and spin that Marui Bunta hit was really amazing. It was difficult to grasp the timing when the ball stopped spinning."
Someone sighed.
"With this, Alexander Gerard of the Turkish team has become a breakthrough point."
Someone said regretfully.
"Why use 'also'?"
someone asked doubtfully.
"Haven't you watched the videos of Turkey's qualifiers against other teams? Alexander Gerard was the breakthrough point at that time."
someone explained.
"I have seen it, but it can't be called a breakthrough. At that time, the match was originally a one-on-one duel between Johnny Gerard and his opponent's thigh. Alexander Gerard was of no use at all."
"That's right. In a duel of that level, even if he was effective, it wouldn't be of much use."
The audience in the stands were talking about the game, and they seemed to have their own opinions on the direction of the game.
However, in sharp contrast to the relaxed attitude of the audience, the Turkish team members had a serious look on their faces.
At this moment, Marui Bunta's serve came like a flash of lightning, forcing out Johnny Gerard's psychological hint.
Immediately afterwards, Borg's counterattack was like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering Alexander Gerard's frontcourt interception, as if all roads were blocked.
Such a game situation made the Turkish players feel desperate, and they couldn't help but start to doubt how they could play such a game.
Just when everyone thought the game had lost its suspense, there was a loud bang, like thunder, echoing throughout the entire stadium.
At this moment, the tennis ball seemed to turn into a golden beam of light, penetrating the entire court at an astonishing speed, and then hitting the court hard.
The powerful impact created a cloud of dust that made people marvel.
This time, the ball speed was even faster, reaching 215KM/H!
Even Johnny Gerard, who was in a state of psychological suggestion, could only barely fight back, and the quality of his fightback was obviously not high.
boom! boom! boom!
The tennis ball kept hitting back and forth on the court, each time accompanied by a loud noise, as if the entire stadium was shaking.
The tennis ball bounced back and forth rapidly on both sides of the court, as if it were given life.
The speed of the ball at this level is as fast as lightning, which is completely beyond the range of Alexander Gerard's interception.
In contrast, Borg's performance was better. He occasionally made wonderful volleys and successfully completed the frontcourt suppression.
However, Alexander Gerard seemed a little clumsy. He just stood there stupidly, as if he had no idea how to deal with such a situation.
For a moment, the score soared like a rocket.
"boom--!"
With a crisp sound of hitting the ball, Jackal Kuwahara and Marui Bunta successfully scored, and the score instantly became 40:0!
Then there was another "bang!"
Johnny Gerard and Alexander Gerard scored a point with difficulty, and the score became 1:0.
Although both players easily held their serve, Johnny Gerard did not look very happy.
The quality of the Jackal Kuwahara's counterattacks was so high that every ball was like a cannonball, making Johnny Gerard exhausted to deal with.
The large defensive area in the frontcourt formed by Marui Bunta gave Johnny Gerard a headache.
If you want to avoid Marui Bunta's defensive range, the only points left to hit are the two wide outside corners and the high ball.
However, it was obviously impossible to hit a lob because with Marui Bunta's excellent ball control ability, his smash would leave almost no room for Johnny Gerard and Alexander Gerard to fight back.
The remaining two outside corners have extremely high requirements for ball control. If they are not careful, the ball will fly out of bounds.
Even if they managed to fight back, Marui Bunta would seize the opportunity to break through the defense line.
Although Marui Bunta and his partner did not show particularly strong doubles skills, the doubles tactics they adopted put tremendous pressure on Johnny Gerard, leaving him almost breathless.
This situation has nothing to do with Alexander Gerard. Even Johnny Gerard himself would probably find it difficult to withstand such pressure for a long time.
