Game for Echizen. 6-5.
Switch sides.
That's how it's done, Echizen.
Yes.
What are you doing?!
Even though it was such an easy game, you let it get to this point!
Pull yourself together!
How horrible...
It didn't have to be so hard...
Baker-san...
You don't understand anything about Kevin!
Kevin wasn't just copying Echizen.
Hey, isn't it time to stop?
We can continue tomorrow.
No not yet! Just a little more...
Kevin...
You... what you just did...
Hey Kevin! Now is the time to show THAT!
Illusion
Curse!
0-15.
Echizen-kun looks a little tired, doesn't he?
Continuously doing Cyclone Smash is taxing your muscles.
If you don't stand firm, you're not a man.
Win, Echizen.
He won't stop using Cyclone!
0-30.
I am unable! I can't keep looking!
Will it be the end?
Do not give up.
"Without giving up, without losing courage, do your best until the end."
It is not?
Yes, you're right.
Kevin hasn't shown his dirty game once so far, but...
...now that he's reached this point, there's no telling what he'll do.
This will not happen.
Akutsu-san.
This kid played dirty to provoke Ryoma Echizen.
I hate to admit it, but that's the kid.
He's not the type of person who would stop playing dirty just because he's under pressure.
Be careful, brat.
This guy is not finished yet.
What's the matter, Kevin?!
Now it's time to use that surefire move we've perfected!
Hey Kevin!
I know!
I came this far with Ryoma Echizen as my goal.
I studied him in depth and watched the video of his games countless times, and...
...I trained non-stop and made your techniques mine!
I...
I transformed into Ryoma Echizen!
AND...
I...
I'll get over it!
15-30.
What was this? What just happened?
Did you see that?
There were three?
It's ridiculous...
Hey, what ball was that?
A miracle ball.
This is the new move that Kevin and I perfected during our secret training.
We call it...
"Illusion".
Illusion...
Hmm... Not bad.
Well done, Kevin Smith.
With that, my dream will soon come true.
Years ago, I figured tennis would be a good business, which is why...
...became the owner of a tennis club.
I decided that I would have the most famous tennis club in the United States and that I would reap enormous benefits.
For this, a strategy was needed.
For example, having famous professional tennis players as coaches...
Thus, it could count on the attention of the press and consequently increasing the number of students.
But hiring a professional would be a huge expense.
So I came up with a plan.
I wouldn't have to pay them a fortune.
Leaving stars from my club would be enough.
That's why I wasted no time and went after my chickens that laid the golden eggs.
First Michael Lee...
Then the brothers, Tom and Terry Griffey...
Then Bobby Max...
Arnold Ignashov came to me on his own.
AND...
And finally,
I recruited Billy Cassidy and Kevin Smith.
After that, I trained them rigorously and arranged these friendly matches between Japanese and Americans.
I did everything to make my club famous.
Miss Takayama!
She promised to sponsor my team if Kevin wins this match.
That's why I won't tolerate you losing this match!
Win, Kevin!
Will do it again!
Illusion!
30-30.
There were three balls again.
There is? I saw five...
I saw six!
It seems that the principle is similar to Eiji's multiple image technique.
There is? Like this?
In other words, as the ball is vibrating left and right at a very high speed, it gets blurry and then...
...you have the impression of seeing three images.
I understood. Similar to Akazawa's blurry ball from St. Rudolph?
You mean this is even better?
How many balls does Echizen see?
Here it comes!
40-30.
Hey!
Here it comes!
40-30.
Let's go! I will keep making this play!
Get ready!
Hey, you are very confident.
Deuce.
I had forgotten. You still had that technique, didn't you?
Kevin!
Don't get distracted! Idiot!
We are in the middle of a match. Be silent, please.
Ah... forgive me...
The boss is desperate, isn't he?
We owe Baker-san a lot.
We remain very grateful...
Although...
From now on we will play with our own tennis.
That said, we can't go on following Baker-san's methods any longer.
Boss, I'm sorry.
I did my best, but my opponent was one step ahead.
If I could have another chance...
This kind of chance will not come again.
You are no longer useful on the team.
You'll go back to your old life, won't you?
I agree...
We can't go on.
I won't let you use Cyclone again!
You see three balls.
But of course, there is actually only one ball.
Therefore, the moment the ball bounces there is only one.
If you can Rising, you can return it.
However...
When a ball vibrating violently from right to left touches the ground, it spins but does not bounce.
Advantage for Smith.
In other words...
...the only way to return it is to realize which of the three balls is the real one and hit it directly.
By only sending low balls, Kevin is nullifying Echizen's Cyclone.
By doing this, he doesn't run the risk of sending a lob, giving him the chance to send a smash, right?
Oh! There you go!
Game for Smith. 6-6.
Tie break.
Echizen.
When in trouble keep calm and play your game.
Calm down.
Understood.
Come on, Ryoma!
You're aiming for difficult zones so I can send a lob, right?!
It will not work!
Oh! He dropped his cap!
That way he won't see the ball!
There is?!
What?!
1-0. Echizen leading.
He did!
All right, brat. I'm impressed.
The illusion...
It was returned!
It was luck.
It was just luck.
Billy...
Eh! This is the infallible illusion we work on!
It cannot be returned so easily!
Billy is right.
He swung the racket just in time and luckily hit it.
Atobe, I have something to ask you.
There is?
Do you think Echizen was lucky?
Of course. Don't ask what you already know.
Echizen also played with his eyes closed in the final of the Kantou Tournament.
With his incredible ability to see moving objects, Echizen could see his invisible Swing, but...
...it tires the eyes a lot.
I understood!
He lowered his cap so as not to see the images of the ball and not get confused!
I'll show you it was pure luck!
The shadow!
There is?
It's the shadow.
The shadow! And that!
No matter how many images you see, the ball only has one shadow.
Echizen can strike because he targets the shadow.
2-0. Echizen leading.
Wasn't it... luck?
You still have a lot to learn.
