Many of them came to watch the fun, and of course there were also some people from the imperial capital, who mainly wanted to use the opportunity to mock Zhou Ran and the Magic City.
After all, they and the Magic City are mortal enemies!
Just yesterday, Zhou Ran also received a message from the official staff of Modu.
The staff suggested that Zhou Ran not play in the game in order to minimize his negative impact on the Magic City.
Zhou Ran would definitely refuse!
Afterwards, seeing that they could not ask Zhou Ran not to play in the game, the Magic City staff could only plead with Zhou Ran not to use those tricks that could only be used by cheating methods before.
They wanted Zhou Ran to lose the game in an ordinary way, so that they could reduce Zhou Ran's negative impact on the Magic City.
After seeing the attitude of these staff members, Zhou Ran directly blocked them.
He didn't want any explanation. After all, before he actually stepped onto the court, all his explanations would be seen as cover-ups and would be in vain.
"The match will begin shortly. Please ask Zhou Ran and Jia Panxia to come on court and prepare. Zhou Ran will serve for the first game."
Amid the roar of tens of thousands of spectators, the referee announced the start of the game.
According to the coin toss before the game, the serve right in the first game belongs to Zhou Ran.
Holding a tennis ball, Zhou Ran is ready to serve at any time.
Zhou Ran had no prior knowledge of Jia Panxia before the game.
He believed that there was no need for prior knowledge at all.
Even if Jia Panxia came from an unknown small city, he was able to make it to the top four in his city and stand out among hundreds of players in the city. His strength is definitely extraordinary.
Therefore, in the national competition, Zhou Ran will treat all the players equally, neither looking down on them too much nor paying too much attention to them.
At this moment, Zhou Ran's main thought was which trick he would use to serve the ball next.
After some thought, he decided he should be the first to use the disappearing serve.
He had used this trick in previous competitions. In the recent news about his cheating, many people believed that he used this trick by cheating.
In order to prove his strength to everyone, as soon as the game started, he naturally had to use the tricks he had used before that were not recognized by netizens.
Then, Zhou Ran held the tennis ball in his left hand, raised it horizontally in front of his eyes, and suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, first giving the tennis ball a rotation.
Then he let the tennis ball do free fall. When it dropped to a suitable height, he moved his right hand holding the racket from bottom to top, drawing a perfect arc, and he successfully used the disappearing serve.
After seeing Zhou Ran serve, Jia Panxia, who was standing opposite him, looked relieved.
When he first entered the national competition, he was still anxious about whether he could achieve good results in the national competition.
After all, he comes from a small city with an average level of education, and this is his first time participating in a national competition.
What he fears most is being eliminated in the first round of the regional competition.
When he learned that his opponent in the first round was Zhou Ran, he thought that the first round was a sure thing and he would definitely pass.
Because he also knew that Zhou Ran was a cheating player.
As long as Zhou Ran used the same tricks as before, he would definitely be stopped by the tournament officials.
If Zhou Ran hadn't cheated, he thought he could definitely defeat Zhou Ran easily.
He also concluded that Zhou Ran would definitely not dare to use the previous tricks in the competition.
After all, the cheating method has been exposed. It would be very stupid for Zhou Ran to use it again.
So after Jia Panxia thought so in his mind, he relaxed and predicted where the tennis ball would land, then quickly arrived at the landing point and prepared to swing the racket to hit the ball.
However, as he was about to swing the racket, he froze in place.
Because he saw that the tennis ball suddenly disappeared when it was about to hit the ground.
"Where's the ball?"
Unable to believe his eyes, Jia Panxia quickly stopped hitting the ball and began to look around for the missing tennis ball.
Finally he discovered that the tennis ball that had just disappeared appeared several meters behind him.
When he wanted to swing the racket to hit the ball, it was too late. The tennis ball fell and bounced several times within his half court, and finally lay quietly behind him.
Just now, not only Jia Panxia saw the tennis ball suddenly disappear, but of course the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene also saw it.
When they saw the tennis ball disappear for the first time, they were all a little unable to react.
Why did tennis disappear?
But then everyone understood that this was a special trick that Zhou Ran had used before.
The audience was stunned for a moment, and then burst into roars.
"Damn it! Zhou Ran is so arrogant! Isn't this the trick he used to cheat before? And he actually dares to use it now!"
"What a reversal! Where's the referee? Why didn't he stop this obvious violation of the rules? Quickly kick Zhou Ran out for cheating!"
"Haha, is Zhou Ran so flamboyant? Even if it's cheating, he should be more restrained!"
"How could something like making tennis disappear be possible? It's obviously cheating!"
The audience had previously speculated that Zhou Ran would definitely not dare to use the same cheating tactics he had used before during the competition.
But now, when they saw that Zhou Ran actually dared to use it again, they all transformed into messengers of justice and criticized Zhou Ran.
Chapter 64 Referee, I report it!
The audience at the scene were all criticizing Zhou Ran for being so arrogant. His cheating methods had been exposed, but he still dared to use the same tricks in the competition.
At this time, Jia Panxia on the court had a reaction roughly the same as that of the audience.
He did lose a point on that shot because he didn't see how the tennis ball disappeared and then landed in his half of the court.
So at this moment, his complaints to the referee were more intense than any other spectator present.
Because if he hadn't complained and asked the referee to punish Zhou Ran, he would be behind in the score now.
"Referee...I'm reporting Zhou Ran for cheating..."
"How could he make tennis disappear... He's clearly cheating..."
When Jia Panxia reported to the referee, his tone became more and more excited, so much so that his voice began to tremble.
He has always been a timid person and is rather thin.
Before, he never dared to report his opponents on the court.
But today was different. With so many audiences cheering him on, he, who had always been timid, became bolder today.
Hearing the reports and complaints from Jia Panxia and the audience, the referee on the sidelines stopped just as he was about to shout out that Zhou Ran had scored.
The matter of Zhou Ran cheating had caused a lot of uproar. The referee didn't need Jia Panxia and the audience to explain in detail. He knew what specific aspects of Zhou Ran's cheating these people were accusing him of.
The referee then signaled for a pause in the game and quickly discussed with the referee team on the sidelines.
Zhou Ran had anticipated this scene.
He knew that today's game would definitely not be as smooth as before.
So he did not object to the referee's decision to end the game. He just stood there with his racket in his hands and closed his eyes to rest.
He wanted to see what kind of trouble today's opponents, referees and spectators would cause.
Anyway, he has the strength and is not afraid of this group of people.
However, Zhao Qianguang, who was sitting in the audience, was unwilling to do so.
He knew that Zhou Ran was framed. The referee had terminated the game without any evidence. This was extremely unfair to Zhou Ran and seriously violated Zhou Ran's rights to compete.
"Referee, this is not fair!"
"Why did you suspend the game?"
"If you have the guts, show me the evidence, or start the game!"
Seeing that Zhou Ran remained silent, Zhao Qianguang started shouting wildly at the referee in the middle of the field.
But how could his voice alone possibly surpass the voice of tens of thousands of spectators in the audience?
Even if he tried his best, in the end his voice was still no louder than a mosquito.
Even the audience next to Zhao Qianguang looked at him with contempt and sidelong glances when they heard his shouts, wanting to stay away from him.
In their opinion, Zhao Qianguang was simply mentally ill. Zhou Ran was cheating so obviously, but Zhao Qianguang still wanted to defend Zhou Ran.
They were afraid that if they got closer to a stupid person like Zhao Qianguang, they would become stupid themselves.
On the court, after the game was suspended for nearly 10 minutes, the referee walked over to Zhou Ran and announced to him the result of their discussion.
"Player Zhou Ran, please hand over your racket!"
"Next, please use the special rackets provided by our referee team!"
Even if the referee thought that Zhou Ran was cheating by making the tennis ball disappear, there was no way for him to directly deprive Zhou Ran of the right to compete because there was no conclusive evidence.
After discussion among their referee team, if Zhou Ran cheated, the most likely cheating tool would be the racket in Zhou Ran's hand.
The racket looked simple, but the referee thought there might be some mechanism that ordinary people could not find.
Therefore, the referee team decided to temporarily replace Zhou Ran's racket with a racket provided by the referee team that was absolutely fine.
The referee also decided that if Zhou Ran was unable to use this racket to make the tennis ball disappear, it would be concluded that Zhou Ran had indeed cheated, and it would not be too late to deprive Zhou Ran of the right to compete and expel him from the game.
When the referee asked Zhou Ran to change his racket, the audience went crazy again.
"Yes! That's right! Zhou Ran must have used that racket to cheat!"
"Hahaha, let's see how Zhou Ran can make tennis disappear after his cheating tools are confiscated!"
"Everyone, get ready! If Zhou Ran can't pull off his ultimate move to make the tennis ball disappear, we'll ask the referee to expel him from the court!"
"Yes, this cheating rubbish player doesn't deserve to be on the field!"
"Contestant Zhou Ran, please continue the game!"
The referee replaced Zhou Ran's racket and immediately announced the resumption of the game.
"Let's see what you do next!"
Jia Panxia on the court was already upset because Zhou Ran cheated and caused him to lose points first.
Now that Zhou Ran's cheating tools have been confiscated, he believes that Zhou Ran's strength will become mediocre, and he will win the game smoothly.
So at this moment, he was venting his emotions to Zhou Ran while also expecting Zhou Ran to serve the ball quickly.
He needs to win the game quickly and get through the first round.
What is going on now is the national competition. Although it is not the main competition but the preliminaries, as long as you pass the first round, you will get a prize of tens of thousands of yuan.
That’s tens of thousands of dollars!
For a student like Jia Panxia, it is a huge sum of money.
He was already imagining how to spend the tens of thousands of dollars in prize money after defeating Zhou Ran.
After the referee replaced the racket, Zhou Ran weighed it in his hand first.
It can be confirmed that this is a low-quality racket, one of the most common rackets on the market that costs only a few dozen yuan.
Using this kind of racket, you definitely won't be able to perform moves like the big bang serve, which require very high racket quality.
However, there is no problem in using the disappearing serve.
After all, the disappearing serve is a technical move.
Now, after being strengthened by the system many times, Zhou Ran can perfectly reproduce the technical moves in the anime in reality even if he uses the most ordinary trash racket.
I weighed the racket again and felt that I had completely adapted to the feel of the new racket.
Zhou Ran used his fingers to apply spin to the tennis ball as he did before, and then used it again with a perfect disappearing serve from bottom to top.
"Hehe, you're still bluffing!"
"Zhou Ran, I'm going to expose you completely from now on!"
Because Zhou Ran had used the disappearing serve once, Jia Panxia was able to know what kind of serving action Zhou Ran had used before using the disappearing serve.
This time he saw Zhou Ran using the exact same serving action as before, so he knew that Zhou Ran wanted to make the tennis ball disappear next.
Under normal circumstances, Jia Panxia believed that once Zhou Ran’s cheating tools were replaced, he would definitely not use his previous tricks again.
