Chapter 41.2 - Before the storm # 2

The fierce third round of the medical time came to an end with Henry's triumph over the first set. It was impressive that he responded to the crowd with a relaxed face as if he had never been injured.

Only Hanwoojin penetrated Henry's condition. No matter how you conceal your expression and suppress your body's reaction, it's impossible to have a perfect stomach. Not to mention anyone who knew he was injured. Subtle discrepancy of steps, without knowing

The sweat that began to flow was the evidence.

'Maybe tomorrow's game is… . '

Han Woo-jin felt the trend of the quarterfinals to be played tomorrow, but did not get it out of his mouth. I couldn't mourn the bad luck of the other player, but I was happy to do it.

A player as old as Henry needed a lot of time to recover from that injury, and after a full recovery, his life could be over. Resilience is very different from when I was young.

The two of them in a taxi talked about today's game, hoping that rude journalists would stick like yesterday.

Shin Se-yeon seemed quite embarrassed when she got the opposite result. Well, it did. In terms of system capability, Hanwoojin was superior to Joshua in all aspects.

"It's scary to be a veteran. Starting with the stamina, the technology was quite dull. I think that skill is not too shallow. "

"Perhaps it's a different strength than in its heyday. It's a great player. "

Han Woo-jin struck against Shin Se-yeon's evaluation. Stat or skill level was not all. After losing his youthful vitality, he built a new style based on his experiences. Don't be praised for your hard work and commitment.

Landed.

She blurred her face when an unexpected variable appeared. I thought we only had to be careful with Max Müller in the finals, but a veteran who won the victory in a deformed way appeared. Joshua's briefing briefs have been scrapped.

Rae.

"When I get back to the hostel, I'll have to recapture the materials for Henry first. Today's briefing seems to be a little late, so if you're going to practice, please come back before 9:00. "

Longer careers mean longer periods of exposure. Perhaps Henry is proving his career as everything he used to make him now. If you only spend some time and effort, it's not hard to find relevant data.

But what was surprising was Hanwoojin's response. He didn't nod his head at Shin's words. Rather, he shook his head, hardening his awkward look somewhere earlier. It did not have to mean that the face was.

"You probably don't need a briefing on Henry."

"… why?"

Shin Se-yeon had a strict look. It was because he feared that he was proud of his success.

Of course, there was another reason for Hanwoojin to say that.

A veteran of old age, severe injuries of the ankle, left foot that began to limping slightly when leaving the convention.

Henry's low agility, but a single leg penalty was a huge burden. Stronger than Joshua was stronger, but not so much against Hanwoojin.

Han Woo-jin had already had a chance to win tomorrow's abstention by more than 80 percent. The same was true if he did not abstain. It just makes the broken boat drop off the court. If he is stronger, he is unilateral

It was almost to be a game.

"Henry's face was nothing bad at medical time. Probably not an injury that will happen in a day or two. "

"But you returned to court right away? Aren't you too impatient? "

Her questions were clear, but she was also shallow. Players with long experience know. A slight injury is not a loss of performance right away. As a runner who uses breathing to the limit takes another deep breath,

Like a boxer beaten by somehow erect body.

The toughness of athletes who are extremely active in adrenaline during play is not unusual. Outside the ring or court, I don't care if the injury is broken. Adrenaline has the effect of relieving pain and preventing wounds from worsening.

"I went to the stadium and limp my legs. It's pretty bad too, so the center of gravity is all over to the right. "

"then… "

As Shin Se-yeon tried to answer his confused words, her cell phone rang loudly. I only remembered the numbers on the LCD. When she stopped talking, she accepted the call.

"Hello? Oh, "Yes, I will be agent of Han Woo-jin. ""

Shin Se-yeon, who received a phone call in Korean, immediately changed his language to Chinese. Maybe the opponent was Chinese. After talking for a while with words he could not understand, she looked at Han Woo-jin with a face that looked like a ghost.

Soon after, the phone disconnected. Shin Se-yeon was not surprised like her. But there was news to tell. A slightly trembling voice came out.

"… Henry Joel is absent. "

Han Woo-jin closed his eyes. There was not much inspiration. Except for the merit of being able to reach the final without wasting energy, it just went as expected.

He stares at the back of a man who is moving away from somewhere in the dark.

Someday, and everyone will be chased.

* * *

Unlike Hanwoojin, who felt an unknown feeling from Henry's abstinence, there was an unprecedented upheaval on the Korean side, which secured an unexpected victory. Of course it was not negative. It was a cheer for confirming the final.

"CP! Isn't this the real Hanwoojin player hit once? If you really win, your ratings will go up all the time. "

One PD said that. Ha Jung-woo did not deny that excitement. Rather he nodded as it should be.

"You should. The days when Kim Hyung was a solo solo is over. Some young and fresh guys have to come out.

In any field, sports stars also have one important aspect of their appearance. Young people who were able to get rid of the old image of tennis that had solidified in Korea were needed. Ha Jung-woo has at least Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk's activities

I thought I could change the reality a little bit.

In addition, Choi Yeon-hyuk was able to play the center of the idol group, who was also tall and had a good face. The influx of female audience was also quite expected.

'Good. You're free. I'm worried because it flows so smoothly. '

Ha Jung-woo thought of the word Hosadama. If good things happen, it means a lot of bad things happen.

However, only good things went on in this contest related to Hanwoojin. Ratings continued to march, and tennis was the reign of magazines and newspapers around the corner, not like domestic minor sports. If the wind blows like this, the mast will swing

It was only reel, but there was no sign of slowing down.

"… I can't lose anything anyway. Is it the answer to push as far as I can push? "

Even if Hanwoojin lost the final, there was nothing to lose on the MBS side. I didn't invest in any Toto or stocks, but I've already done well enough.

If you win, it was the best scenario, and even if you lose, you are runner-up. Henry Joel's abstinence today was a path beyond Ha's strict standards. He faced a blue chip called Hanwoojin, and he thought of a plan that would add more momentum.

Then there was a man who came up.

Who was the first to get an interview right after Hanwoojin debuted? Who asked for his potential and commented on the Seoul Open?

"Kim PD, did you have a program with commentators during the Seoul opening?"

"Ah yes. I did it. "

"Do you remember who asked for commentary on Hanwoojin? If Park's commentator listened, he would have a name. "

"Well… Wait. Think about it. "

Kim PD, who was drunk with other people, calmly calmed down. 쓱 It was not easy to remember because it passed. Ha Jung-woo seemed casually on the outside and was quite busy waiting for an answer.

Fortunately, Kim PD remembered the day's work vividly. It was also because his name was quite famous on this floor.

"Ah! Kim Sang-pil and Kim Sang-pil are reporters. "

"What? The special sergeant Kim Sang-pil? "

Ha Jung-woo raised a voice tone without me knowing. A big shot jumped far beyond the expected range. How come Hanwoojin is a entangled person? The gust blowing towards the sails was changing its appearance with a new storm.

"Reporter Kim Sang-pil, where are you now? Can you arrange? "

"Two days ago I came to the sports column. It was on the French side. "

"France? Why are you there? "

Kim PD pointed to the corner by listening to the newspaper yesterday's date. There is a Korean class! The French Challenger League two consecutive defeats! '

* * *

"Huh… How can I feel less, but I can't help it. I can't see any place to touch it. "

Kim was writing an article for submission to a sports magazine different from MBS. It was an article that decorated Choi Yeon-hyuk's second consecutive challenger win. It didn't have a lot of silly words, but anyone who watched the game could agree.

Although it is a challenger league, it was not comparable to other players.

And the speed of Choi's development could be felt even Kim Sang-pil, who came to France. Do you understand if your skills improve each time you take a picture or video?

Tadak, Tak!

Kim Sang-pil's thick thumb, which cleans up the last paragraph, taps Enter. The article that wrote about Choi Yeon-hyuk's work is all over.

He came to distant European lands and stretched his hardened body by tapping on a laptop. 끙, with the sound of the forearm and shoulders stretched out, the sound of crunchy bones. It was the price of sitting in an inappropriate position for a long time.

"Why not fun? That's enough to make him a star. Is it because it is too natural to win? "

Kim Sang-pil looked bored while watching Choi's video. Unilateral scores, consistently good match. After all, there was no corner to flaw. If you want to study, you'll always be the class leader, and you won't miss the first place.

Was an image.

Or maybe there was another reason. If you have a more impressive player, there are times when a game that you've had fun at other times may not seem fun. And Kim Sang-pil quickly thought of the reason.

'You said you went to the ATP league?'

Hanwoojin's deeply sunken eyes came to mind.

If Choi was a model student, he had a strong image of rebels. The dark atmosphere, which seems timid, made the poker face. A young man who skillfully masters various tactics on the theme of rookie.

Frankly, Kim Sang-pil was more interested in mutations than typical geniuses like Choi Yeon-hyuk.

"Let's find it."

The internet was slow, but it was a matter of waiting a bit. He launched a portal site to search for articles on the opening of Shenzhen, China. The mouse cursor turns into an hourglass, and the screen is white.

"Oh my god… "

The four letters 'no answer' made a few thick lines on Kim's forehead.

It was then.

Rrrrr…

"Hello?"

It was close to occupational disease. Kim Sang-pil stretched his hand and pressed the call button as soon as he grabbed the phone. And the voice that was heard from the other side brightly said. It was because the news was just about to search for a laptop.

"Final? Is it already confirmed? Oh, withdrawal… i See. Then who is it? "

But his expression was bright until then.

As soon as he heard Max Muller's name, Kim's face became subtle. He listened to Ha Jung-woo's call and said yes. Laying down the cell-phone where the call was lost, Kim Sang-pil stared at a distant place with a worried face.

"A German monster… I don't know. "

Hanwoojin always go beyond predictions, but the opponent was like a monster that deviated from common sense. If two variables collide, what will be the result?

He decided to get a plane first. Tomorrow, when I took off on an international flight from the airport, I could be on time. At least I was glad the news came quickly.

The battle was two days later.
