Chapter 55
US Open Junior # 6
“Definitely good at ‘undefeated’ style. ”
The quartz uttered what he had been thinking about inadvertently.
The game was loosing.
The first game was taken lightly with four sub-aces based on the sub-spheres obtained by the marble. And the second game, Lee Jae-rim’s sub-game, has been running for about 10 minutes now.
Bang!!
The marble’s hand stroke was fierce.
Lee Jae-rim followed the ball around in a small body less than 170 cm and kicked it out with a forehand.
Bang!!
This time, marble stabbed open space with a light backhand cross.
Lee Jae-rim followed closely this time and kicked him out again with his back hand.
‘Forhand, backhand… I don’t see any weaknesses in the stroke. No strengths.’
Lee Jae Rim certainly had an unparalleled Court covering ability in stability compared to her age. Coat covering refers to the ability to quickly cope with the opponent’s balls at any point in his/her coat in tennis. Excellent agility and positioning skills are required. The stability of the stroke is also an important element of coat covering.
With all abilities averaged, Jaerim played tennis based on stability.
‘This is why we win the national war. ’
The quartz made sense.
However, it was the decision of marble to choose the black notice not to play tennis like Lee Jae Rim.
You must be naturally good at achieving well in the competition. Here, Korean tennis chooses a deformed ‘skill’.
That deformity means “tennis that induces the other person’s mistakes.”
Competitions are frequent and have a lot of player resources. For a good performance, both the player and the supervisor aim to play ‘tennis without losing’ well.
Bang!!
Lee Jae-rim’s forehand draws a constant spin, a constant height, and a constant length before which the ball flows.
It must be a mechanical ability.
‘But it’s not that I can’t handle this. ’
After the side-step, the marble rises up in the air, striking the backhand jackknife.
Boom!!
The ball is plugged vigorously, drawing long lines like a laser.
“Game, Lee Young-seok. ”
It was an artistic percussion, wrapped close to the line.
Lee Jae Rim approached the referee and protested.
“Isn’t that out? ”
The complaint of Lee Jae Rim lasted for a long time, knowing that the result was not reversible, but whether it was quite angry.
‘Hawkeye hasn’t been developed yet. It’s up to you to protest against the judge. ’
I looked at him as if he was sad about Lee Jae Rim.
Hawk-Eye is a computer system that tracks and statistically analyzes the position and trajectory of the ball during a game in baseball events such as tennis, cricket and football.
For a tennis match, it is possible to analyze the trajectory of the ball with a tropical camera and interpret the information to capture situations that are in violation of regulations.
The Hawkeye also reproduces the movement of the ball as a graphic image and provides real-time access to judges, spectators, and coaches.
Although it is not pleasant to the mind and mind, it is a ‘legitimate protest’ for athletes and it means‘ a little fun ’to the audience, so it is considered one of the important elements of the game.
“Oh, I don’t know how that ball works! ”
At this point, Lee Jae Rim is not just coercing him.
It was definitely out of my sight. He stepped down to the chair and said, line up exactly.
“Here comes the ball in this shape. Proud! Come here for a second. ”
He ran to his heart and explained that it was a definite seal for Jaerim Lee.
The marble has a free look on its face, and it is finger-picking the Guret of the racket.
It was also because of its uselessness that the tantrums flowed from the audience.
When Lee Jae Rim surrendered with a slight look and the referees returned to their places, the match started again.
The second game ended with a quartz brake (BREAK) and the third game began. A serving of marble.
‘If you don’t want to lose… I’ll show you that you can’t win forever. ’
Bang!!!
A step up the gear, and the feet of the quartz hitting the jumping sub had somehow risen to 40 cm above the ground. He kept on raising his body high without even knowing it.
Shhhhh!
The higher you float, the faster the ball speeds.
Lee Jae-rim had a speed at which he could never react, and 195 mm/h was stamped on the electric board.
“Whee!! ”
In the audience, I cheered for the marble who showed me the overwhelming serve from the Junior Games.
Quartz casually raises his arms slightly to answer the cheers and prepares the sub using an adcot.
The stone that received the ball thrown by the Volvo stares at his left arm.
‘Now you’re completely left-handed. ’
The left arm of the marble was one and a half times thicker than the right.
Particularly, the thickness to the wrist on the basis of the elbow was slightly thicker than that of a marble.
Lee Jae Rim, if you play tennis without losing, I’ll fight tennis without fail. ’
Wherever there would be tennis that won unconditionally, the eyes of marble were quite serious.
After getting hints from the match with Safin, he suddenly became his original jumping stroke.
Bang!!
Even Lee Jae Rim was barely able to get his hands on the quartz.
‘Then that’s it. ’
The ball is almost the same as the drive volley (ground stroke), but it hits without bouncing the ball. It is commonly used to aggressively process the ball of an opponent who drifted slightly away from the net during the net dash) or drops, and if you get the drop, you can float the robe again to kill the fly.
The eyes of marble staring at Lee Jae-rim, who desperately used his small body and short legs to foam at his coat, were only cold.
‘The more I compete, the worse I feel. ’
If this prank doesn’t work, you’ll need to meet a similar level of opponent.
if there was such desperation that I would lose my life in a counterattack if I didn’t focus on the entire nerve and process the ball.
‘Lee Jae Rim did not feel that way. ’
I want Lee Jae Rim to know.
the willingness of ‘it’s not possible to survive on an overseas stage with such tennis’.
The movement of the steps and jumping would almost look similar to that of humans, but the movement of the venomous marble seemed elegant and relaxed.
* * *
“Game Three, End Match One by Lee Young-suk Count Six Zero (6: 0), Zero Six (0: 6), Six Zero (6: 0)! ”
In the final, three out of five sets were divided by the winner, and the quartz crushed Lee Jae-joom without giving up even a single game. He couldn’t concentrate on the big difference.
The fight between adults and children.
It is the most efficient word to describe this match.
It was definitely an adult way to practice Lee Jae Rim, but I couldn’t get enough of that tennis on my young body.
‘Never do that. Cancer.’
Whether the ball is out or not, you need to experience all of your physical abilities to experience the effects of it on bones, muscles, and nerves. When you develop into a more mature body, you can ‘successfully’ tune your childhood experience. Conventionally, when you are a child, you are left with skills.
The same is true of consciousness.
What kind of work can one accomplish that focuses on just ‘handing the ball over’?
More aggressive, more deadly… Even if the result is a losing match, the player becomes large when the loss is accumulated.
If Gaske is successful, Lee Jae Rim is a failure. And it is a failure of Korean tennis.
‘I was good at not going to school. ’
A sudden burst of compassion struck the marble’s eyes.
However, Lee Jae Rim’s personal life can change in the future.
It depends on whether this defeat becomes a trauma and a typical ‘Korean tennis player’ who lives and plays unemployment or a motivated player who constantly challenges overseas tours.
And he really wanted Lee Jae Rim to be able to overcome it.
The unfortunate thing about being born in Korea was that Lee Jae Rim’s ability was never low.
“Shoulders back and head up! ”
Baek Seoin shouted in Korean to Lee Jae-rim who was walking with his head down like a sinner in front of Nate.
Lee Jae Rim was furious and looked at the marble. Unlike the tone of the marble, it was a peaceful face.
“Every single moment of your depression is being broadcast live. Come on, come on, come on! ”
The marble that placed the mildew was dazed. He hugged Lee Jae-jeong who was approaching the end of the walk and whispered in his ear. Lee Jae Rim, who was short, put his arms around marble.
“Rather show your anger and willingness to challenge. It doesn’t matter if you don’t actually feel that way. The moment you walk out of this coat with that face, your life gets very twisted. Okay?”
The eye of Lee Jae-jeong, who was held by a larger marble, twisted.
It is Lee Jae Rim who knows marble better than anyone in a short time. We share the will of marble and fully understand it.
It was the teachings of a kind but merciless master, who cooked them up one by one.
“In future interviews, try your best not to die from this challenge or defeat. Can you handle that? ”
Lee Jae Rim nodded.
The two athletes were talking about Moore in Korean, and the referee stood there waiting for a handshake.
“I’ll see you in the next competition. I want you to work hard and see it on your coat. ”
I wonder if it’s a trait from my past life.
Leadership of the marble, which led many national champions, was expressed without context.
Lee Jae Rim had no choice but to hold his head against the stone.
“Good work today. ”
While finishing the story, marble patted the shoulders of Jaerim Lee.
Lee Jae Rim’s face, which had been covered by the body of a marble, was revealed to the world again. Lee Jae-rim, who made a ferocious expression following the advice of quartz, left the stadium with his bag, shaking his hand, and carrying Juju Island’s luggage. Quartz shook hands with the referee and announced who the winner was.
Peek-a-boo…
I heard cheers and applause in the audience.
Quartz raised his hands high and replied with cheer. The flash of the camera burst into every corner like the egg on a marble’s body, and marble wandered around looking for parents and infancy.
“Young-suk!! ”
You might have noticed the gaze of such marble, but the mother of marble, Han Minji and Lee Young-ae, raised their voices and called for marble. Then, he raised his hands high, jumped up and down, and told me where he was.
“Mom! Dad! Aunt!!”
