Chapter 226: Brutalizing J.J. Gorgias, winning the match!

This angered J.J. Gorgias so much that he picked up his racket and smashed it against the ground repeatedly!

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

The racket was bent by his smashing.

Seeing this, Atobe Keigo smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"Does playing against a kid make you so angry?"

Atobe Keigo’s words made J.J. Gorgias even angrier!

He raised his bent racket and was about to throw it at Atobe Keigo!

And at this moment, J.J. Gorgias’s younger brother, Noah Gorgias, arrived at the scene.

When J.J. Gorgias saw Noah Gorgias, he recalled in his heart why he played tennis.

Immediately after, he actually suppressed the anger in his heart.

Then, he walked to the baseline.

But J.J. Gorgias’s behavior made the Australian audience at the scene angry.

"How shameful!"

"And he dares to call himself a national representative!"

"Pah! Stop playing!"

"So shameful!"

Immediately after, the entire audience booed J.J. Gorgias.

This made the Japan team members freeze for a moment.

Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but complain.

"Even people from his own country are booing him; he must be under even more pressure, right?"

Seeing this, Momoshiro Takeshi was quite optimistic.

"It's fine, this means it's very favorable for us!"

He was right, and Kikumaru Eiji nodded.

And at this moment, after J.J. Gorgias calmed his mood, he served seriously!

"Bang!"

Noah Gorgias’s appearance indeed made J.J. Gorgias return to normal.

Because J.J. Gorgias didn't want to lose face in front of Noah.

And at the same time, the Australia team members finally saw Noah’s true face.

At this moment, Noah looked toward Atobe Keigo’s direction.

Atobe Keigo was the same, their eyes meeting.

With Atobe Keigo’s excellent insight, he understood what was going on instantly.

"Has the strategist arrived to take command in person?"

"Oh my, but it’s already too late!"

And at this moment, Noah also told the Australia team members why J.J. Gorgias had this kind of personality.

Simply put, the reason J.J. Gorgias was like this.

Was because Noah had an eye disease, so he was dismissed by the Australia team.

Unable to continue playing tennis, J.J. Gorgias once hated the Australia team.

So his attitude toward the Australia team members was aggressive.

Even directly insulting them; on one hand, this was to help his younger brother Noah vent his anger.

On the other hand, J.J. Gorgias wanted to realize Noah’s dream, which was to let the Australia team reach the top of the world.

Of course, this was impossible to achieve.

Because Toyama Kintaro was simply too strong.

Seeking flowers 0

Although J.J. Gorgias finally found his rhythm later, it was too late.

On the last point, J.J. Gorgias hit a bird flying in the air.

It was ruled a let, but J.J. Gorgias knew he couldn't win anymore.

Rather than bringing shame upon himself, it was better to just forfeit and let Toyama Kintaro win.

Seeing this, J.J. Gorgias picked up the bird that had fallen into his hand and said to the umpire.

"No need to replay."

"They win."

To this, the umpire nodded.

"6:4!"

"Match over! Japan team wins!"

To this, Noah smiled at J.J. Gorgias.

This was the brother he knew.

Although he lost the match, J.J. Gorgias did not lose his heart.

Immediately, all the players from both sides went onto the court to shake hands.

The umpire officially announced.

"Group Stage Group B, the match between the Australia team and the Japan team."

"Finally, the Japan team takes the victory with 3 wins and 0 losses!"

After the handshake, Atobe Keigo looked toward Noah’s direction.

Then he said.

"The next time we meet, it will be a war of attrition."

"It doesn't matter how many years it takes, anyway, before that, get your eye disease treated."

To this, Noah smiled.

"Thank you for your recognition, I will."

"See you next time."

Meanwhile, the USA team where Echizen Ryoma was located was playing against the Sweden team.

But the Sweden team was no match for the USA team at all.

Echizen Ryoma won the match easily.

As the tennis ball landed, the umpire immediately announced.

"6:0!"

"The USA team takes the victory in this match!"

Seeing this, Echizen Ryoma raised his racket and pointed at his opponent, acting cool as he said.

"You still have a long way to go."

Then the umpire officially announced!

"Group Stage Group E, this match between the USA team and the Sweden team."

"Finally, the USA team takes the victory with 3 wins and 0 losses!"

Echizen Ryoma had won his match, and he hoped very much to run into the Japan team.

There were two opponents he wanted to defeat: one was Kamishiro Aki, and the other was Byodoin Ho-oh.

No matter which one he encountered, he would defeat them!

One day later, the Japan team played their final group stage match.

They were playing against Switzerland, a strong team ranked behind Germany.

How strong were they?

The Doubles 2 and Doubles 1 pairs that went on court were all defeated.

Doubles 2 was Omagari Ryuji from the third year of high school and Kite Eishiro from the third year of junior high.

The score was 6:3!

And Doubles 1 was Duke Watanabe and Shi Tianyin.

The score was actually 1:6!

Even Duke Watanabe only took one game when he went on court!

One could imagine how strong the Switzerland team was!

Of course, that was what everyone thought.

But in Kamishiro Aki’s eyes, Duke Watanabe hadn't used his full strength.

This was a smoke bomb.

Because having won the previous two group stage matches, the Japan team had already qualified.

There was no need to reveal their full strength; this was all a strategy.

Subsequently, for the Singles 3 match, Kamishiro Aki was finally able to go on court.

Before going on court, Byodoin Ho-oh gave him a word of advice.

"Kamishiro Aki, no need to use your full strength, we have already qualified."

"If you can't win, just conserve your energy."

"After all, your opponent is Amadeus, a true professional player."

To this, Kamishiro Aki snorted coldly.

"In my dictionary, there is no such word as 'lose'."

"Even if the opponent is a professional, I will give it my all."

"Just wait and see."

After finishing, Kamishiro Aki walked onto the court.

Finally, he could play on the world stage!

The atmosphere was just different!

This match wasn't entirely an away game; there were many spectators supporting Kamishiro Aki who had formed a cheering squad.

They even held up banners with the word "God"!

This made Kamishiro Aki feel a bit socially dead.

Needless to say, it must have been that guy Atobe Keigo who was behind it.

Because he had already seen the smile on Atobe Keigo’s face.

And seeing Kamishiro Aki like this, Byodoin Ho-oh said to Duke Watanabe with a serious face.

"Kamishiro Aki is indeed even more courageous than I imagined."

"Duke, your resolve was a bit lacking."

"To actually lose to such players."
