Chapter 104

"Dudu - Players from both sides are on the field!"

Following the referee's whistle, the Yinju players took a deep breath and lined up to enter the field.

"Toumi's team members look different from when they went to communicate..." Tianhai sat in the crowd in the audience and focused on Toumi's coach Dashui.

Sitting in the audience watching the game will indeed give people a relaxing experience

- at this time, Tianhai for the first time took his mind away from the game for a little while, and focused his eyes

on Dashu Qingxin's... hair.

"This hairstyle always gives me a sense of déjà vu..." But Shiyi couldn't think of where he had seen such a slicked back hair before.

"It's the same hair style as Karasuno's Nishitani, and he's just as passionate."

Coach Dashui didn't know that Tenkai, whom he had always wanted to communicate with again, would focus on his hair style. He was high-fiving Team Tome enthusiastically.

His enthusiastic appearance has subverted many people's views on this team's coach.

"You can do better!! Remember the characteristics of our team!"

"It's so embarrassing... Coach, please stop shouting..." Tome's main attacker Numai hid behind the general. Trying to avoid the gaze attracted by the coach's loud voice.

Although he also supports Humi Academy's current competition style, isn't it a bit bad to shout "upright" so loudly! !

Immediately afterwards, Numai watched helplessly as his coach gave the referee a big, sincere smile.

And the referee...

really responded with a smile.

"Is this... the coach's unique skill?" He stood stiffly, his eyes full of surprise.

On the other side of the net, in the Yinju court, after watching the whole grinding process, he curled his lips and murmured, "The referee's favorability +20."

No wonder... In the eyes of many referees, the reputation of the Tomei team is very good.

"What are you muttering about? Grinding?"

Yamamoto patted his somewhat tense back, feeling sympathy for the "storm"-like treatment his weak setter teammate was about to face.

"Don't worry, we will protect you, brain!"

Grinding's expression became very complicated in an instant.

"

The game begins!"

Kuroo stood back from the referee's office and brought back bad news to the team members:

"Tumi and the others serve first. They will be ready in a while according to the positions we agreed on in advance.

"Okay!" "

Don't worry."

The moment the whistle blew, Yinju's team was like a drop of blood, and the players spread around.

This change is even more obvious in the audience.

"Ah? What... happened?"

The ball hit Nekoma's right back, and the target was -

"Grind!"

As expected, Tomi's first target was Nekoma. The setter of the horse!

Fukunaga on the left took a long stride and reached out to catch the blow from the opposite side. He was quite good in both offense and defense and received a challenge from the Viper.

And he responded fiercely to the provocation to General Yu.

Moving to the grinding position consumed part of the time, Fukunaga was unable to control the attack finely, and under the gaze of thousands of eyes in the audience, the dugout and players from both sides -

the ball flew towards the sideline.

"Is it going out of bounds?"

No one can guarantee whether the ball will land within the bounds, and the players will not give up fighting for this opening point.

The first dark green figure to rush out was the general Yu who was closest to the ball.

The referee standing high up squinted his eyes. From this angle...

"Bang!!"

In less than a second, the ball went from passing the net to landing, and the general put down his hand trying to catch the ball with a normal expression. No one but him knew whether the shot just touched the ball.

"There is a big difference between going out of bounds and a thug going out of bounds...will we score?"

Akane Yamamoto in the audience nervously clenched the support flag in her hand, her round eyes wide open, staring at Every move of the referee.

Before the referee looked over, the general took the initiative to raise the hand that had just touched the ball: "I just touched the ball!"

In other words, Yinju's main attacker hit the ball out of bounds and scored one point.

"Okay!" Akane Yamamoto jumped up and cheered, and Nekoma's support team also beat the beat.

The referee was slightly surprised

- the angle just now happened to be within the blind spot of the line of sight, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult to judge even by watching the replay.

He couldn't help but have a better impression of the general and the entire Tomei Academy.

Sensing the friendly expression on the referee's face, the general raised his lips slightly and walked to his seat, not forgetting to look at Kuroo and raise an eyebrow.

Kuroo, who received the provocative look, didn't even want to look at him and turned around to the tee.

The following fierce serve and catch without missing a ball contained his counterattack.

"

Guarding is to continue the next attack."

Both teams are very good at catching the ball. Compared with the game next door, Nekoma and Tomomi will take at least two rounds longer per ball.

Under Nenkoma's strict defense, Tomei's tactics against Nenkoma's second pass ensured the score was even. And both sides knew

that Yinju always started to catch up with its opponents in the second half of the score.

"General, this won't work..."

Tomei's main attacker Kazuma Numai frowned and looked at his teammates, "They protected the second pass too well, and our precise targeting was not effective at all... ."

Numai was not the only team member who had this idea. Hiroo and Sakishima also looked at the figure in the middle of the front row with questioning eyes.

——Would you like to try the other one we discussed before?

A few pairs of eyes quietly turned to the player who was comforting Lone Claw Grinding not far away.

Tianhai watched the fierce score changes on the field, and felt something from Tomei's ever-changing offense...

Unlike sitting in the coaching bench, the audience could clearly see the lateral movement of the players. Therefore he was able to see changes that Coach Nekomata didn't notice.

The snake's target has changed.

Among the players on the field, Mi Mo, as the player who was targeted in the first half, felt the most profoundly.

From frantically disrupting a pass and letting himself run all over the court, to just symbolically looking for opportunities to limit his performance, it was obvious that Tomi was planning something.

The opponent's rapidly increasing score on the field also illustrates this point.

It's just that the time is too short, and his opponent's control of his eyes is too good, so he hasn't found any more clues yet. Grinding wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

Give him two more minutes...

"Damn it!"

Yamamoto, who was grinding the front left, yelled unwillingly at this time, attracting the attention of the audience

- Yamamoto was induced to go out of bounds.

"So...if one plan fails, another one will come up again. We are also a team that relies on the cooperation of teammates to win, and Tomi once again captured another key node of Nekoma."

Tianhai leaned on the back of the chair with his upper body unmoved. He leaned forward consciously, smiling with some interest as he listened to the shouts of celebration for Toumi's score coming from the auditorium opposite.

So, how should Yinju respond?

"Come on, brother!!"

Seeing that Yamamoto Tiger was not in good condition, Akane Yamamoto threw herself in front of the railing, curled her hands into barrels and shouted loudly, "Brother! Don't let them succeed!"

Yamamoto Tiger didn't look back, and the corners of his mouth tightened, and he said to Pressed down.

"Do people like Tomei think I will do what they think? They underestimate me...and why don't you target Fukunaga? Do you think I am a weakness?"

He felt a little unwilling.

"It's not a weakness, it's a partner."

Yamamoto's pupils shrank and he turned his head to look at Momo behind him.

The setter, who has always been "protected" by the team, showed amazing momentum at this time. When the "blood" does not know the direction, the "brain" will reasonably regulate the blood throughout the body.

"Because you are the most powerful and can help us break through the defense line. So if they can't target me, the second choice is you."

Grinding looked serious.

——He was not very good at comforting others, so he glanced at Kuroo for help.

Kuroo successfully received the signal and immediately sang in harmony, "That's right, those cunning snakes want to bully our ace attacker at first glance."

Ace!

Yamamoto didn't want to admit it, but he was comforted by the grinding grinding that made him hate iron. But this statement of "the most powerful" and "ace" is really touching! !

"Mian Mo, I'm so touched!!"

His eyes were red, and he pulled Mian Mo tightly into his arms and hugged him vigorously. "Next, please arrange for me as you like!"

The ends of Mo Mo's hair exploded, and he pushed Yamamoto's hair hard with both hands. Shoulder.

"Hey, hey, that's not a good thing to say. We're still competing. Don't make some mean and shameless snakes laugh."

Kuroo quickly pulled away two teammates who were stuck together and rescued his little tame . .

Humei on the other side of the net: "Despicable and shameless..."

General: "Asshole, who are you talking about?"

...

Now that the plot has been seen through, Humei's people no longer cover up. While using extremely tricky angles for every ball, he also did not give up on psychological warfare.

"Come on, Toumi!"

"Inkoma Inkoma, score, score!"

The support groups from both sides also started shouting, and Tomei's cheering voice was louder in comparison.

"Did you hear that? This is public opinion. We Tomomi can win today's game!" Takachiho caught the pass from Sakishima in an attempt to distract Kuroo.

But he was stopped by Kuroo without mercy. The cockscomb-headed black-haired blocker was already the most eye-catching blocker in the game, scoring a lot of points for the team.

"Kuroo has become the key to Nekoma's restraint on Sora as everyone expected." Tianhai looked at the notebook in his hand - it was quickly recording goals and scoring rates. He let out a long sigh and sighed.

The strength of the two teams is almost the same, and they are also teams that catch the ball and look for opportunities to attack, so the competition is back-and-forth.

After the third game, I became more familiar with the opponent's routines and offensive style, and the game began to compete for endurance.

As the patron saint of the entire team, Yejiu also does a good job of maintaining the team's catch rate at no less than 85%.

However, among the Inkoma team, who are "very serious about catching every ball", there is someone who doesn't fit in.

"He is really trying his best to move with the least amount of exercise..." Coach Naoi let go of his worries about grinding.

You know, before the game started, Coach Naoi really doubted whether the opponent could last until the third game.

Looking at it now, Grinding is actually one of the more physically strong players on the field.

If Momo knew what he was thinking, he would definitely retort loudly

- no, he was about to collapse from exhaustion! It's to the point where if you fall to the ground, you can't get up.

But before starting, Teacher Tianhai specifically emphasized this matter: "Grind, you must know that the three things that cannot be hidden are poverty, cough and love.

Not exhaustion.

So, you must work hard to hide the things you are about to collapse from exhaustion." "Facts."

Grinding may even describe Tianhai's devilish smile: "Otherwise, they will target you again and let you run around..."

Grinding, who has no doubt about the authenticity of this sentence, has established himself. A character with "no battery but long standby time"

uses the least amount of exercise from the beginning of the game, but can still move at every critical moment. This convinced Toumi, who didn't know him well.

Fortunately, Tobi Gakuin did not question his physical strength at the end of the game and missed one of the few opportunities to win quickly.

The score reached the match point, and the score of 22:24 made the Humei players and their supporters feel excited.

The ball on the court quickly crossed towards Yinju's sideline.

Seeing that she was about to land, Yamamoto Akane covered her eyes with her small hands and stared through her fingers.

"I'll do it!"

Yejiu once again used the most standard diving to save the ball that should have lost a point, and passed it to the setter accurately.

"Onkoma! Onkoma!"

"The last ball is about to be decided. Who can win!!"

Isumi Sakishima stood in the back row, feeling a little nervous for no reason and not daring to relax at all. "However, from our position, he should attack to the right..."

In the blind spot where Tomei couldn't see, Momo and Hisanogyuki quickly looked at each other and reached a consensus, and then moved towards Yamamoto Oi who was on the left. He shouted:

"Ahu!"

Yamamoto heard the call and immediately jumped to a high place with passion, his body arched into a powerful arc, like a tight bow.

"Right!"

Tomei also burst out with the fastest speed in the game and quickly came to the right to defend.

Seeing that the setter on the opposite side was indeed facing Mo Ganxi, Sakishima's uneasiness in the back row became even stronger.

——Until Nenkoma's other main attacker, Hisashi Nobuyuki, appeared quietly from the right, took the back pass without fail, and knocked the ball to the floor.

Sakishima realized that he was right to be uneasy.

"The player looked to the left, making him think he was going to pass to the left. In fact, the main attacker in the dark on the right scored the point!"

"Yinju!!!"

"Okay, we win!!!"

Amid the cheers, the Yinju members hugged each other. Even Coach Naoi quietly got involved.

Coach Nekomata, who was standing looking at the players kindly, turned his head and looked at Tianhai in the stands, and the two showed similar smiles.

The current Nekoma...is very good.

Aoba Josai Volleyball Club

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Why?" Coach Tianhai hasn’t come back yet! Is it because our charm is too low?”

Dongsi grabbed the ground with his head and kept beating the ground with his hands.

Coach Mizoguchi was writing something with his pen cap in his mouth, and kept moving his hand, "The game in Tokyo ended yesterday, and I will be back in the next two days."

"After coach Tianhai comes back, I must beat Shiratori hard. The faces of those guys! They were showing off because of the absence of coach Tianhai!"

Touji's eyes filled with tears as he thought about being blocked by Ushijima again and again in the practice match.

"Ding ding ---"

Coach Mizoguchi's cell phone rang. He stopped recording Qingcheng players' data and clicked on Twitter to start reading.

"Sorry. This is the volleyball Chungao bot I follow. It will post a lot of interesting things...

Coach Tianhai?"

As soon as they heard the keyword "Coach Tianhai", the Qingcheng players all came closer and surrounded Mizoguchi. Beside the coach.

Coach Mizoguchi clicked on the detailed picture on Twitter. The background was the hot Tokyo qualifiers. Amami was standing next to the three Nekomata coaches: Coach Idayama Arakai, Coach Ogaya Anji, and Nekoma.

"Wow... the topic is actually - Coaches' Friendship Across Counties!"

"What the hell? They are obviously the same teams we fight to the death with on the field, so where is the coaching friendship?"

"But this is Why is this article so popular on Twitter? Coach Mizoguchi! Let’s read the comments first.”

Zhonghe stretched out his finger and started to swipe down on Mizoguchi’s phone screen.

[Can anyone explain who the tall blond coach is? He looks so familiar! ]

[I know, it’s the coach Amami of Aoba Jonishi who won last year’s spring high school championship. He’s the double joker! ! ]

[lmao, when I say double joker, I remember who it is. ]

[Coordinated in Nagano Prefecture, Coach Amami was also captured at the qualifiers! ! He is indeed the man who won the title of the most handsome coach! ! ]

[Coordinated in Hyogo Prefecture, I also met Coach Amami at the Inarizaki gymnasium~ He has a great temper, and the Miya twins also listen to him. Except for Kitai-senpai, I have never seen anyone else treated like this. ]

[I've seen it too! ! We had a chance encounter at Kusezaka High School in Oita Prefecture. Coach Amami was so tall that I couldn’t believe he wasn’t an athlete! ]

[Damn it, am I the only one who hasn’t seen it? I am obviously from Miyagi Prefecture! ]

[Touch, Coach Tianhai is like a traveling frog. Coach Tianhai is everywhere, but I can’t see it when I’m at home hiding in the house...]

In the end, I saw that the topic in the comment area became more and more crooked, and turned into "How about we all capture Coach Tianhai everywhere?" !" Coach Mizoguchi turned off his cell phone amid the black faces of the students.

"Unless Coach Amami comes back today, I will definitely be angry!"

Oikawa was angry with his hands on his hips, and even Iwaizumi nodded in agreement with Oikawa's words. They now feel like the Miyagi Prefecture student in the comment section.

He is obviously their coach Tianhai, but he has been "traveling" for so long.

"What are you talking about? Who is angry?"

The door of the gymnasium opened with a bang, and a confused Tianhai walked in.

He reached into his backpack and pulled out the wooden carvings he had brought for the students.

"Here, I bought this when I went to Nagano Prefecture. You can make your choice."

Zhonghe was the first to break away from the frozen state and came to Tianhai, "What, what, Coach Tianhai, you are back!! You actually brought us some The wood carving!"

Tianhai stopped Zhonghe, who was about to reach out and choose a wooden sign for blessing. "Zhonghe, wait a minute. Yours is this special edition."

He handed the wooden sign with the words "Holiday homework 100% completed" to Zhonghe. crane.

"This is specially prepared."

"Teacher, didn't you want to wait until the Tokyo qualifiers were over before coming back? Why did you come back today?" Iwaizumi was a little curious.

"Well, the qualifiers ended yesterday afternoon. Both Yinju and Xiaogu have entered the next round. There are still two days of competition.

As for the regional representatives, they have to wait until October."

The finals will be held in October . Or choose three from four. However, Todomi, who faced Nekoma at the beginning of the competition this year, could not go any further.

"Is that so? Doesn't it mean that the three schools in Tokyo this year are Jingdashan, Xiaogu and Enkoma?"

Nakakuru grabbed Coach Mizoguchi's cell phone and looked at the Tokyo game schedule, his face wrinkled.

What... They are all opponents that we have competed with before. I really want to have a new strong school...

"It is not good to say so early. Until the end, no one knows whether this year will be successful." There is a dark horse. Just like Qingcheng last year."

Machii took the wooden sign from Tianhai and poured cold water on the somewhat impetuous Zhonghe,

"Besides, even if it is the same team, there will be some personnel changes every year.

" Machii is right. Not to mention the schools in other prefectures, Shiratorizawa, the closest school, has had a lot of changes in its main players. Are

you confident of winning the championship again? " "

Yes!

We must win the championship! !"

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Tianhai reached into the bottom of his backpack and took out...

- the data that everyone was very familiar with. notebook.

"You are very energetic...

If you want to win the championship, come to me to get the next training plan."

"Yes!"
