Chapter 16

In the corner of the gymnasium, there was an unexpected person in Tianhai practicing his serve.

"Nanchuan?" Tianhai looked at him in surprise. He should have completed his training today, so why is he still serving?

The boy holding the ball shook his hand and stood there silently.

It took me a while to think of an explanation.

"Coach, I didn't practice a lot, just a little practice." The young man's clear voice became a little dull as he lowered his head.

If Tianhai can't tell that something is wrong with his condition now, he will have been a coach for so many years.

"Put the ball down first, let's go out and talk."

He restrained his expression, only to scare the students who had mental problems.

Taking Nanchuan to a remote corridor, Tianhai sighed.

Both of them practice in private. The amount of training I have given is already very large, and I am really worried that the children will be overloaded with additional training and damage their bodies.

"Ang, can you share your feelings with me? Is it because of the starting setter?"

He chose to use a more intimate address to reduce Kusukawa's panic.

Nanchuan shook his head and nodded again. Yes and no.

Looking at Coach Tianhai's gentle gaze, he mustered up the courage to say: "Coach Tianhai, I want to play. But my skills are not good enough. Not only the setter, but also the serve is not as good as Oikawa..."

Even the save server There is no way to become it.

Tianhai raised his index finger and blocked his lips to signal the other party to stop talking.

"Ang, you are not a substitute setter. You are our luxurious double setter in Qingcheng. You have skills that are not weaker than Oikawa. Please don't feel that you are inferior to others."

Tianhai was a little annoyed. Before he joined the team, Qingcheng had identified Oikawa as the starting setter.

He didn't know what happened. But if he hadn't met Kusu Chuan by chance this time, would things have gotten worse before they broke out?

"Besides, Ang. Your serve is very good, but have you ever thought that it might not be suitable for you?"

"Not suitable?" Kusu Chuan Ang was a little confused. Is there any other way to say it is not suitable?

Tianhai tilted his head towards the stadium, "Shall we go in and talk with the ball?"

Standing on the stadium field, Nanchuan took a deep breath.

I was away for only five minutes, but when I came back, I felt like everything was different.

The oppressive layer of dark clouds over the top of the stadium dissipated.

"The serve you are practicing is a powerful jump serve. However, your upper body strength is insufficient, and you will be unable to control the power of the ball when serving."

Tianhai immediately took the ball and wanted to demonstrate on the spot.

"Look at the rotation angle of my body."

Tianhai stepped out with his left foot, and then took a big step with his right foot while swinging his hands back and walking with his left foot. Taking off, pulling, stepping and smashing the ball was as smooth as if I had done it hundreds of thousands of times.

"Bang!" The ball hit the ground with a loud bang. The students training around them all stopped training and turned around to look.

"This kind of powerful jump shot that requires high strength and strong upper body strength is not suitable for you. For you who control the ball accurately and pay attention to the rotation angle, the jump ball may be a surprise."

"But Oikawa... "When Nanchuan heard this, he wanted to refute anxiously.

Is it really because of Oikawa?

Amami thought of Oikawa being stressed out because of the genius Ushijima.

He probably never imagined that he would become an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of others.

Not long after practicing with Nanchuan, Tianhai stopped the training because "today's training volume was too heavy."

Return to the hotel and follow the procedure to check in the student room.

No one is in Ueda Maebashi's room?

Toji Machii room, no one? !

Oikawa Iwaizumi’s room is empty! !

Bad, where are his students? All gone?

After searching around, he finally saw the neat Aoba Jōnishi family in Zhonghe's room. Even Kusukawa Ang, who had just returned with him, was there!

"Can anyone explain to me, what are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Tianhai looked at the team members who were surrounded by him, feeling a little heartbroken.

Hearing the familiar voice, not forgetting the opponent's pressure during training a few hours ago, everyone in Qingcheng quickly dispersed.

The Nakazuru Sun inside is revealed.

Catching up on homework?

I saw Zhonghe holding a pen in his mouth, another pen in his hand, a "Struggle" headband on his forehead, and looking crazy as he worked on his homework.

"Coach doesn't know, this is our Qingcheng special event, haha." Ueda didn't see the black line on Tianhai's head. explained jokingly.

Nanchuan, who was in a good mood, also explained:

"Every holiday homework he never completes on time. Qingcheng's practice is to sleep together before the start of school, which coincides with his time to make up for homework. He can only make up for it at the hotel at night."

Thinking of Xiang After seeing Yang's experience of making up for homework a few days ago, Tianhai thought seriously: Little Sun, Taiyang, and whether all the suns would make up for homework before the end of the holiday.

At this time, Mutu, who was doing homework in the room on Xiaogu's floor, said, "Sneeze!"

"You won't catch a cold, right?" Xiaomi Haruki, who was in the same room as him, said nervously.

"I heard someone talking about me!" Wood Rabbit shouted.

"Maybe the god of homework is cursing you to start writing on the last day!"

Late at night, Tianhai lay on the bed and poked Shiyi.

He has completed his daily tasks on time these days. Unfortunately, he was too busy during the day and could only communicate with Shi Yi for a while at night.

"The decisive battle in the garbage dump? What is that?"

Tianhai looked at the task told by Shi Yi - understanding the decisive battle in the garbage dump (1/3)

Is there anything that needs attention in the garbage dump?

Thinking that the other party was not Japanese, Shiyi checked the information and explained,

"This is because in Japanese garbage dumps, crows and cats are the biggest rivals for food. The task is to understand the background story of this sentence."

"Do you understand the story? ? Cat and crow...Cat refers to neko, which is very similar to nekoma. Who is crow? "

But Karasuno is not in Miyagi?" Nekoma is in Tokyo, and I haven't heard of any interaction between the two teams...

I'll ask Coach Naoi tomorrow.

--------------------------

"Please give me more advice."

The Yinju team members bowed towards Tianhai.

The other party put down their own team to teach them how to block. Thank you no matter what.

Tianhai, who has his own little Jiujiu, doesn't think this is a big deal. What's more, Coach Nekomata has already gone to teach Qingcheng how to catch the ball, so he has to start as soon as possible.

"Blocking can be divided into contingency type and anticipatory type. Generally, these two are used in combination. If you are good at one type, you only need to know a little bit about the other one."

Tianhai took the ball and randomly called a classmate.

Kuroo Tetsurou stood next to Tianhai, listening to his command and letting him take off. After a few rounds, the opponent no longer directs, and it is up to him to judge the timing, height, strength and direction of the block.

Tianhai saw that the other person had almost adapted, so he replaced him with the next person. Let Kuroo watch from the side.

Everyone Tianhai took it twice.

When Coach Nekomata came back from the Qingcheng team, he saw that the expressions of his cats were all the "Master, I have enlightened" cosmic cat emoticons.

Coach Nekomata:?

It was rare that everyone in Nekoma didn't gather around to welcome Coach Nekomata.

Tianhai had just led them through two rounds of blocking practice. They were thinking quickly and summarizing their experience. Many of them even ran under the net to practice their positions.

Coach Nekomata watched the students think without disturbing them, and turned around to thank Tianhai.

"No, no. Since we are staying together, it is what I should do to discuss with each other. Thank you very much for your guidance to Qingcheng."

Tianhai has a good impression of this coach.

This morning it happened that Yinju and Qingcheng shared the same venue. After the independent training, there is a training match between the two teams.

"Okay kids, let's see your progress."

"Yes!"

Hotel restaurant at noon

"Ha, you mean. Qingcheng had a training match with Yinju today, did Qingcheng win?"

A student from Senran High School Holding the rice plate, he was shocked by his companion's words.

"That's right. I really don't know why I've never heard of such a thing in high school."

Not far away in the coach's dining area, Coach Nekomata's face could not see the frustration of the team's failure. Instead, he was very happy.

"Thanks to Tianhai, the team members' blocking was much better today."

Tianhai put down the cup in his hand. "Aojo's catching skills have also improved a lot, but they are still not as good as you. As expected of Nekoma, who is famous for his defense."

Coach Irihata gave today's report to Coach Mizoguchi and joined in: "If everything goes well, It would be a pleasure to play in the national competition. "

"The national competition..." Coach Nekomata and Coach Naoi looked dazed for a moment.

Tian Haishu took the opportunity to mention last night's mission: "Coach Nekomata, I want to. I want to ask if "the decisive battle in the garbage dump" is Nekoma and Karasuno's agreement?"

Coach Naoi turned to Tenkai in surprise, "You actually know about the decisive battle in the garbage dump?"

A look of memories came to Coach Nekomata's face. "That was when I was in high school, and I made an agreement with the Wuyang team to compete in an official game, but unfortunately we never met in the entire high school career..."

...

After telling the complete origin of the "Junkyard Showdown", Coach Nekomata Asked:

"You Aoba Castle are also from Miyagi Prefecture, right? It seems that if Karasuno wants to come to the national competition, he will have to compete with you."

"Yes, I won't be merciful then." The three coaches of Qingcheng Smile.

After all, the seeds are about to break out of the ground. Breaking through the shackles of Miyagi Prefecture, it grew into a towering tree.

"Compared to this," Coach Morita of Ikawa High School smiled maliciously. He put down the tableware and looked at Tianhai,

"If you are free tonight, come to our team to teach serving? We saw your serve last night."

No wonder Qingcheng is serving so hard now.

The Xiaogu secret road coach on the side saw this scene and joined in the fun: "Then come to our Xiaogu. After Mutu found out that you were the main attacker, he wanted to play with you all day long."

"Then we Senran can't fall behind. Ah..."

"Tumi also welcomes Coach Tianhai"

...

------------------

"Let's stay together next time if we have a chance."

Sitting. On the bus, looking at the row of smiling coaches standing below, Tianhai forced a smile and said, "See you next time."

The bus gradually went away, and Qingcheng chose to leave first because of the long distance.

Holding a mobile phone with many contact information added - there are coaches and students, Tianhai leaned against the car window.

Once the team uniform is worn, no one will love it.

He was "borrowed" by various coaches in the past two days, and he was very tired from moving between different teams.

Since Qingcheng was invited by the coaches to stay together, he didn't want to refuse the coaches' requests.

"The homework is done!!" Zhonghe Taiyang, who finally completed all the homework an hour after setting off, celebrated loudly.

"Shh - be quiet." Dongsi Kuan quickly held him down and pointed to the side.

Tianhaishu leaned quietly on the seat, pursed his lips and fell asleep.

Coach Irihata in the front row also noticed it and whispered,

"It's really hard work, Tenkai."

By the time we got off the bus, it was already late at night.

Tianhai walked home one foot at a time, one foot at a time, with his eyes closed during the whole journey. Shiyi was in charge of navigation and command.

Before lying on the bed and losing consciousness, Tianhai murmured: "Fortunately, Qingcheng will start school tomorrow on Monday, so there will be no club activities. I have to tell Xiangyang to let him practice..." Before he could finish

his words, he fell asleep.
