Chapter 43
Bradenton Open # 4
After the first round, marble and Jinhee continue to build victory as they return to the Academy and Bradenton. Enhancing my talent, I was so distracted by both of my senses that I had fun walking on the clouds every day. I’m not interested in how things change around me.
“Hello, Lee Young-seok. Remember me?”
While marble and Jinhee were leaving their parents and coach in the audience, as usual, a middle-aged man suddenly came into view and spoke.
“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
Aside from his family and coaches, he stopped walking and looked at the man because he had heard Korean language for the first time.
‘I’ve seen it somewhere.’ ’
Jinhee felt like she had no idea, and I saw her somewhere, but I couldn’t remember.
The quartz pulls Jinhee behind him, just in case.
“Who · · · Are you? ”
The man smiled and handed him his business card, looking at the alert marble.
“Park Jung-hoon from Tennis Korea Magazine. · · · · · · · · · · when you won a long time ago. ”
“Ah!!! ”
The marble opened its eyes as if it had just been remembered and received a business card.
The business card said “editor,” not “journalist.”
“You’ve been promoted. Congratulations. ”
Jung-hoon Park smiled.
“The marble army is still an adult. Is that the little girl in the back? ”
Jinhee held out her head and looked at Park Jung-hoon.
“Haha! They’re the same now and then. ”
Jung-hoon Park smiled and handed over the business card to Jinhee.
“But what are you doing here? ”
Park Jung-hoon scratched his head as he asked.
“Mmm-hmm · · Of course, but I’m here to report to Young-hee and the infantry. ”
“How do you know we participated here · · · · · · · ·? ”
I wanted to even ask for marble.
Even Futures is a competitive stage for professionals.
You will be automatically enrolled and informed by the Korean Tennis Association or Federation as a player.
“I participated in this competition!! ‘I don’t need to promote it, but I know everything.’
Jung-hoon Park explained this process in detail, as he thought.
The quartz thought it was time to change the question.
“But it’s just Future. Are you here to cover this game? ”
Park Jung-hoon instantly bruised the question of marble. You heard a very strange thing.
· · · Yeongseok County. Don’t you know how great you are? ”
“Yes?”
Jung-hoon Park sighed and said.
“The marble army is 16, Miss Jinhee is 17, right? ”
“Yes.”
“You are on the verge of winning Future at the youngest in Korean tennis history. ”
‘Yes.’ ’
Only after hearing Jung-hoon’s words did he make sense.
“The old people of the Association are in a hurry to get the press release and not make a fuss. I don’t have a record of going to school, so I didn’t even know I existed, and then I panicked. Just win. Reporters will be camped out at the airport right now. It’s not Asia or the Middle East, it’s America. ”
“Oh · · Yes. ”
Park Jeong-hoon’s appearance of making speeches while setting up a pit didn’t reach Yeong-hee and Yeong-hee much. It’s because marble had a high original goal, and Jinhee also asked marble, and she doesn’t know how great it is.
“Oh, did I burden you? ”
Park Jung-hoon shrugged.
However, he did not miss Park Jung-hoon’s eyes.
‘I did it on purpose. ’
And Jung-hoon Park caught the sharp stare of marble.
‘Just like · · · · He’s not ordinary. ’
It was a test of some kind, as expected by the quartz.
The beginning and end of a tennis player is a mental. It is difficult to survive in this world if you feel burdened by the expectations of reporters like Jung-hoon Park. Yeongseok and Park Jeong-hoon had a conversation.
After seeing the large back of the marble, everyone felt heavy air except for Jinhee, who was in a frenzy.
“Can I take a picture? ”
“Yes.”
Park Jeong-hoon set up marble and Jinhee next to each other and took pictures once in several provinces.
“You’re going to practice, right? ”
“Yes.”
“Yes, I would love to have a winning interview. ”
Young Seok smiled at Park Jeong-hoon’s words. Jinhee was the same.
“Look forward to it.”
* * *
Park Jung-hoon’s aim was slightly effective. No, he forgot what Park Jeong-hoon said.
The finals start and I get into the same coat as my opponent and I get distracted as soon as I see his face.
‘Why, that player?’ ’
At the end of the marble’s gaze, there was a rowdy Westerner standing in the audience.
I feel like seeing a lion · · · like a glowing blonde flame · even though it is 10 cm taller than marble, 190 cm taller, brutally placed muscles indiscriminately on a lightly dressed shirt, and 10 cm taller than marble.
‘Marat Safin · · · · · · ·. ’
You may have noticed the dazed look on the marble, but the sapphire between the shirts took off the sunglasses you were wearing and looked at the marble frowning.
Why, why? Why are you here? ’
The marble has a beating heart.
Just like in Roddick’s time, the beating of his heart did not subside because he had admired the player in his previous life.
‘Safin was definitely older than me. I don’t know how many years, but why America, wait, America?! ’
As he walked ahead of the net to determine the sub-sphere, he continued to think.
‘Now · · · 2000 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. Yeah, yeah! US Open!!’
A thunderbolt of surprise passes through the corners of the rock.
The US Open was when the overwhelming emperor, Pete Sampras, was sunk and a spectacular new chapter of Sapine appeared in the world. Except for the tennis player, all the crazy sports maniacs remember that year.
‘The US is about to open. ’
Thinking about it, the surprise subsided a little. There is a Future Championship Decision in front of Maiser and Quartz. There is only one target to focus on.
‘First, let’s win. ’
The marble swallows a dry saliva and stares at the opponent.
The eyes of naturalization make the opponent creepy.
* * *
Boom!
Bam!
Inside the coat was the breath and groaning of two players.
The rally that had already lasted for three minutes, and the effort and determination of the opponent to aim for the hand of marble continued for a long time. Wherever the marble sends the ball, the opposing team is forced to push it into the marble’s forehand.
“Tsk.”
The quartz’s forehand was never a weakness, but the problem was that the backhand was too powerful. And the opponent was as good as a marble pohand.
‘I have to drop it. ’
Jinhee passed by the corners of the stone as she kicked out the ball. I can’t understand that ‘sensation’, but the marble that thought it could imitate prepared a drop. However,
“Khh!! ”
The user decides to drop, but the ball floats back to its coat.
‘I was careless.’
Normally, you have to be able to catch a ‘camouflage’ in your opponent’s movements before you can handle the unexpected dropshot, but the stone creates a gap in your consciousness while preparing your shot.
In response to the half-beat of marble, the opponent sprints to the net laughing.
‘But if it’s my leg… ’
Huff.
The stone’s new statue advances, cutting through the wind roughly.
‘Reach for the ball. How do you deal with this, Rob? No, this much of the ball dropped in front of the net reaches the Smash range even if it’s a robe. ’
As I was thinking about it, the ball approached me.
Whatever you choose, this ball must be dealt with.
Shhh, Pang!
The shot of marble, which leaned slightly backwards rather than lowering its torso and kicked off the ball, was a very high lobe.
‘If the ball floats high in my coat and passes, you won’t be able to smash it right away. ’
The opponent’s face hardens on the rock’s robe shot, drawing a much higher parabola itself. Immediately, a lot of worries pass through my eyes.
‘Outside or phosphorus, you’ll wonder. ’
The quartz moved back without delay to the baseline, center mark.
The opponent steps back and waits for a marble ball. The marble robe draws a parabola that anyone can expect to see as it crosses the net.
‘Smashnyah, Ground Smashnyah · · · · · · · ·. ’
The target is not the only one waiting for the ball to drop, but the same with marble.
Soon after the ball drops, the opponent lifts the racket as high above his head as when serving.
It’s too late to get ready! Ground Smash. ”
As expected, the opponent reaches the spot with a glass step while maintaining his raised arm when the ball drops.
‘In the case of Ground Smash · · Almost most right-handed athletes unconsciously aim for a dusky coat. And the Duchess Coat. ’
Bang!!!
The opposing team’s ground smash is fierce with intense thrust. However, the perfectly anticipated marble strikes a split step at the exact timing and throws its body to the right.
‘· · · My very own backhand · · · · · · ·! ’
I can’t step as gently as usual. I made my move as loud as I could. I had to find a spot that I didn’t need to step on. The stone’s eyes sprinkle cold energy. A bright fluorescent tail was following the trajectory of the ball like a meteor falling. A clock that can only be seen in the eyes of a marble with natural vision.
Boom!!
When the light and compact swing of stone, which took two large steps as if it had been drunk, an enormous amount of thrust came out. The opposing Pokémon’s Ground Smash is so powerful that the marble can hit a powerful shot with ease.
‘Course was out of control. ’
After a large relaxing step, the marble rushes back to the front of the net at an incredible speed.
Boom!
‘Indeed · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’
Shots of marble were not sharp to the course. I was able to get my opponent.
However, a powerless ball that was not as skilled as marble, which was not properly spotted, came to eat before the marble’s eyes.
Bam!
Waaaahhhh!!
Whee!!!!
At the end of the stone that finished the long, long rally with a light Bali, a round of applause poured out from the audience.
“Young ‘ahhhhh!!! ”
“Young stone!!! ”
Through the sound of cheer and applause, my parents’ call came into my ears.
Then, he opened his face and slowly raised his arms high. I wanted to yell something, but it didn’t come out of my throat. Instead, you hear a sound of exhaust. My legs have been frozen more than trembling, and the joy of joy has lingered in my blood all over my marble body.
‘Finally! ’
Finally, a drop of tears fell lightly from the marble’s eyes. I didn’t leave any marks on my face, and I didn’t notice the marble tears falling to the ground.
‘Victory!! ’
The impressed marble did not even realize that he was crying.
He returned to the past and finally made a professional debut and won. Something wants to explode, but the marble has no idea what it is.
‘Oops! ’
The rock lowers its gaze back to the ground and sees the opposing player standing still in front of the net.
Sadness, envy, guilt? No, how many letters can we describe the vast realm of emotion? What are you feeling now, marble? Is it joy?
“Well done.”
The quartz rushes in front of Nate and asks the other to shake his hand.
The opponent smiles helplessly, holding the marble’s hand and hugging the marble.
“I’ve learned a lot. ”
After hugging with the marble, the opponent shakes hands with the referee. After the quartz, I shook the judge’s hand and turned my head to the audience. My parents’ faces are greatly enlarged and I can see them. Lee Hyun-woo was building a ‘sunny smile’ that he had never seen before, and his mother, Han Min-won, showed her messy face while crying and continued to sing.
“Young-suk!! ”
A thief burst from the stone’s chest to see him.
Soon, a great wave swept through the inside of the marble and knocked at the wall.
Thud, thug.
Tears, which had fallen, formed streams of water to reach the eyes of the rock, and then poured down like a waterfall. Tears continued to come down on the face of the rock, wondering where there were so many tears in the human body.
His vision turned white and blurry, but his parents’ face remained as clear. The leg became heavier due to fatigue, and immediately turned into a twitch.
