Baker's Scenario
0-15.
What shot was that?
It was just luck, wasn't it?
Do you think it was luck, Echizen?
No way.
So that was it.
It finally started.
Yes. The real show starts now.
Watch closely, Ryoma Echizen. Our true strength.
Okay, okay. Everything is going according to plan.
We've seen almost everything they know how to do.
Let's take it to the next level, Billy.
I know. As always you are too serious.
Looks like they got serious.
Hey. If it weren't like that, it wouldn't be interesting.
0-30.
Now you've done it.
They scored again.
His movements got better all of a sudden.
Hey! Team Japan, don't back down!
As we thought, they were hiding their abilities.
But this will make Atobe play serious.
These two tricked us.
I'd like to see them pushed to the limit a bit more...
until your true abilities appear.
I don't mind not taking my opponent seriously...
but i hate it when my opponent...
do it with me!
There you go!
Rondo towards Destruction!
Be amazed by my power!
0-40.
Shotgun Volley.
Shotgun Volley!
Clear. This is Billy Cassidy's famous winning volley.
Did you know, Inoue-senpai?
I had heard about it before, but this is the first time I've seen it.
Look! The repeat on the monitor.
Wow! He ended the opponent's smash!
I don't believe. What amazing reflexes.
It's like a gunfight from the wild west.
The other team's players are surprised.
Everything is going according to the scenario planned by the boss.
Defeat at the beginning and then a turning point at the last moment.
This is the basic formula for increasing emotion in a show.
Japanese boys, I'm sorry, but we're going to use you as a springboard to become stars in Japan.
He's going back to do the Rondo towards Destruction!
Atobe is very stubborn.
Game for Cassidy-Lee. 4-1.
They broke the service!
No problem. They are still 3 games ahead.
But their opponent matched the level all of a sudden.
And truth. Those are the true skills of Billy Cassidy and Michael Lee.
Don't get distracted in the middle of the match.
My Goddess of Victory is sitting right there.
All right, here I come!
Billy Cassidy's engine is now going full throttle!
Sanada!
I got it!
15-15.
Wh-What was that? This stretch...
What happened? That ball was yours.
Once again!
Outside!
30-15.
You got it right. You are very good.
But hitting her isn't enough to win the point.
It's the first time I've seen such a service.
This is another one of Billy Cassidy's abilities, the Rodeo Lasso serve.
Looting the Rodeo Lasso?!
It means "lasso used in rodeos to catch bulls".
The faster your racket spins, the higher the ball bounces.
But it's surprising that he has such good racket control, isn't it?
It's because of his incredible reflexes.
I hear he grew up on a ranch out west and was in several rodeo championships.
But when he was 12 years old, he moved to Los Angeles because of his father's job.
It seems that he felt completely lost in the big city.
There you go! Shotgun!
40-15.
I haven't been able to adapt to life in the big city, but things have changed thanks to a fateful encounter.
The moment I saw her, I decided that I would become a worthy man for her.
Stephanie is the daughter of an upscale New York family...
... and she was raised in a completely different way than I was.
Therefore, in order to achieve fame and fortune, I decided to become a professional tennis player.
And someday, when I'm at the top of the tennis world, I'll ask her to marry me.
That was my oath.
Game for Cassidy-Lee. 4-2.
I will win this match. And I will dedicate the victory to her.
The match is 4-2.
At this rate they won't win.
There is? But we are still ahead.
We are. Furthermore, Atobe and Sanada are national level players.
Even so, it's not enough.
What do you mean by "the Japanese team cannot win"?
Because those two don't have any coordination.
If they don't think like one, they can't win playing doubles.
I imagined there was something strange, but I was surprised that they hide so much technique.
But...
I will stop them with my power!
Michael!
I got it!
He snapped!
Leave that to me, Atobe!
This ball is mine!
I'm his opponent!
Um, this Sanada guy is able to keep pace with Michael.
Exactly what I expected. Without a little resistance the excitement would not build.
15-15.
W-What? What happened?
Wow...
Things aren't easy for Atobe-san and Sanada-san.
What speed!
Even in slow motion, you can't see the ball and racket clearly.
Michael watched Sanada-kun's backhand for just a moment.
Sanada-kun reacted instinctively and switched his racket to his backhand,
but it was a feint.
Michael hit the ball with his forehand.
And to think he did it in just a split second...
Michael Lee is a scary player.
Possessing that speed is already incredible, but still doing a feint...
This is a technique that Michael Lee's athletic body makes possible.
Michael is fantastic, but Sanada is also amazing for reacting to that feint.
Ironically, this is why Michael got the point.
He is capable of turning a player's strengths into weaknesses.
What a scary player.
I thought seeing players' weaknesses was Atobe-san's specialty...
but there is always someone better than you, after all.
I didn't take the necessary care.
Falling into a feint like that...
Atobe! I got it!
The ball is mine!
I will not fall for the same trick twice!
Right?
Left?
A wolf?!
Idiot...
Game for Cassidy-Lee. 4-3.
Do not be mad at me. It was you who asked to take care of the play.
What kind of player is Michael-san?
Michael Lee. He is the only child of a wealthy American family of Chinese descent.
A rich family?!
So he's like Atobe-san.
How fast!
Michael Lee has been training Kung Fu since he was a little boy. He is so good that he was considered a young master.
Michael's father came from China and worked hard to achieve the fortune they currently have.
I've heard that Michael's father's policy is the "law of the jungle", which is the same as, "eat or be eaten."
I believe it is because of the experience he acquired in the United States, the land of business.
Michael exceeded his father's expectations.
"The more successful a person is, the more likely they are to let their guard down."
"A person must keep earning to survive."
That's why he started practicing kung fu, and now he's in the tennis world.
"Being demanding of yourself and others."
This is his way of life.
It's impressive. He's pretty much covering the entire court by himself.
Looks like he doesn't need Billy Cassidy.
Get out of my way! This ball is mine!
This one's in the bag, baby!
Game for Cassidy-Lee. 4-4.
Extraordinary. It's wonderful to see the excitement building.
Having two strong tennis players on the court does not make them a strong team.
This is the main rule of the doubles game.
Atobe-kun and Sanada-kun's individual strength would be enough to defeat normal players.
But...
The opponents of this match are very strong.
There is no dignity in your game.
How it is?
What did he tell you?
He said my game is poor.
Atobe, it's your turn to serve. Calm down.
Hey. Calm me down?
If you use your usual strength, we can still win the game.
Stay alert.
This is already starting to get boring. I will not allow it to continue like this.
Atobe!
What happened to them?
It's not good. Looks like they lost concentration.
Atobe-kun, move to the serving position.
Atobe, we're in the middle of the match.
Focus on the match.
Stop talking!
I didn't even need to say it, it didn't even cross my mind to give up, so relax!
It's getting better all the time. The opposite side is starting to self-destruct.
Being called "the strongest in Japan", they are quite fragile, don't you think?
That means it was a pretentious name, nothing more.
Frankly, it has already lost its fun. To have pushed me to this point.
Wh-What was that?
Atobe!
Note: "Tannhäuser" is the title of an opera composed by Richard Wagner. Its name invokes an image of economic power in the Japanese audience.
I call this serve Tannhäuser Serve.
What loot was that? The ball barely bounced.
It's similar to Fuji-senpai's Tsubame Gaeshi!
Be astonished at my strength.

Next episode
You just showed us the Tannhäuser Serve, Atobe-san.
I can't believe I had to show off the special move I was saving for my match against Tezuka in a place like this.
But that alone will not be enough to win this match.
I know that, I didn't even need to say it.
On the next episode of The Prince of Tennis: Tango Towards Destruction.
Lately this song has been playing in my head.
And now... Be amazed at our power!
