Chapter 22

"Talent can be made to blossom and bear fruit. Ball sense can be continuously honed and developed."

Oikawa Toru told himself over and over again.

A door seemed to appear in front of me. I have fallen in front of it time and time again, and opening it leads to the door to the national competition.

This time, he will definitely break in!

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

"It's Aoba Jonishi! So handsome~"

"It's exactly what the report said. Both the coach and the students are It’s very oppressive!”

“Qingcheng must make it to the national competition!”

As soon as he entered the Sendai City Stadium, Tianhai heard a roar from the audience and many media were taking pictures.

"There are so many people..." Nanchuan looked at the almost full audience.

Obviously there are only two teams competing this time, but there are more people than in the qualifiers.

"After all, today we can decide who will participate in Spring High School this year." Maebashi sighed.

I only came here to compete two months ago, but now I feel like I came here a lifetime ago.

"God of volleyball...you don't know how your devout people have spent these two months." Machii closed his eyes tightly and put his hands on his chest.

The three coaches walking in front looked back at the chatting team members.

"Speaking of the promotion of this game, Tenkai, do you know? After the electronic version of the report was posted to Twitter yesterday, the 'theoretical dispute' between you and Coach Washi has caused a lot of discussion."

Mizoguchi, who loves surfing the Internet during his off-duty hours, yesterday I quietly liked a lot of comments supporting Tianhai.

"Did the discussion start so quickly..."

He was talking. Suddenly there was a burst of cheers that far surpassed Qingcheng's entrance.

"Oh oh oh! Shiratorizawa is here."

"Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa! The winner is Shiratorizawa!"

Shiratorizawa entered the stadium under the leadership of Coach Washi.

The two teams stood one behind the other, with Oikawa and Iwaizumi who were originally walking at the end facing Ushijima Wakali.

"Ah! Xiaoniu Ruo, I'm going to beat you to pieces today." Oikawa gave a provocative smile.

"The winner will only be Shiratorizawa." Ushijima didn't react much to Oikawa's words, but turned to Tenkai.

"Hello, Coach Tianhai."

Tiantong looked on with shame.

'Jolly, although I know you don't mean this, isn't it obvious that you look down on Oikawa? '

Ignore Oikawa's words and go say hello to Tianhai or something like that... Oh, there's really nothing I can do.

"Coach Tenkai! Coach Washiji has been talking about you all day." Tendo chose skill 5 - diverting trouble to the east!

As soon as these words came out, the smell of gunpowder became much stronger. Coach Washi Takumi kept saying "hum".

"Then let me see how strong your students can be -" Washi Takumi stared at Oikawa and Iwaizumi.

The faces of the two men who were directly provoked darkened, but they did not speak yet.

"Master——" A clear voice sounded from the stands.

Everyone could only clearly see an orange dumpling hitting the sky and the sea.

The commentator adjusts the sound equipment and begins to create the atmosphere before the game.

"Now the academies of Aoba Jonishi and Shiratorizawa have entered the gymnasium. Are they having pre-match communication now? I really want to hear what they said."

Xiangyang, who was in the center of the storm, hung on Tianhai, He didn't notice the looks of the people around him at all.

Washujiang stared at Xiangyang, "Master? Is this one of the students you teach?"

After receiving a positive reply, Washijiang turned around and left angrily.

None of the three students of this kid like him. I really don’t know if Tianhai was sent by God to piss off an old man like him.

Seeing that the coach had left, everyone in Shiratorizawa also followed them to the lounge.

When Tendou passed by Tianhai, he secretly expressed his feelings, "Thank you to coach Tianhai for the last gift in return."

"Tendou, follow quickly!" Washi Shougang's voice came from the front.

Tendo's tall and thin body stiffened. "I'm leaving first." The coach seemed to have eyes behind his back.

"Come on Qingcheng! Master, I will go to the audience stand to cheer you on!"

Xiangyang glared at Shiratorizawa's leaving back fiercely. That coach had such a bad attitude towards his master.

Is this what that guy Kageyama likes and decides to go to in Shiratorizawa?

"Okay, Xiangyang, let's get ready first." Tianhai took this kind of person to the lounge.

"Bye, little one." Oikawa waved goodbye to Xiangyang.

Everyone in Qingcheng also entered their lounge.

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

The two teams entered the competition venue to warm up. The commentator began to introduce the two teams.

"Now is the final scene of the Miyagi Prefecture Spring High School Qualifiers. It is my honor to be in charge of the commentary for this game. This game is the duel between Shiratorizawa Gakuen High School and Aoba Jonishi High School."

"Shiratorizawa High School has been He has been represented in the national competition three times and is known as the "Strong Shiratorizawa" even across the country. "

Another commentator quickly added:

"Aoba Jonishi High School is also the strongest in Miyagi Prefecture . School. Many of the team members come from the powerful junior high school, Kitagawa No. 1 Middle School. Although there are no players with strong personal abilities, they can be said to be the strongest in Miyagi in terms of teamwork and tacit understanding."

"Now the two teams are competing . , who can win?! Let’s wait and see!”

The passionate voice of the commentator made the stadium even more exciting.

Tianhai looked at everyone in Qingcheng.

Ueda Moosuke, Maebashi Kaixiang, Touji Kan, Nakatsuru Taiyo, Machii Shinichi, Oikawa Tetsu, Iwaizumi Kazuo, Kusugawa Ong.

One after another, clips of members practicing flashed back in Tianhai's mind.

"Just calm down and try your best to catch every ball." Coach Irihata didn't say anything else.

"When I watched the Spring High Qualifiers two months ago, I thought that this year's winner would be Shiratorizawa." Tianhai, standing aside, looked at the field and spoke leisurely.

"But today, it is your efforts that make Qingcheng's trip to Tokyo no longer a dream! Go ahead, Qingcheng!"

"Yes!" the team members answered in unison, attracting the attention of the audience.

Since each team could only play one manager and one coach, Coach Mizoguchi organized a cheerleading team in the stands and cheered them on.

Time passed slowly and it was time to start the game.

"The following colleges participating in the competition enter the field.

Shiratorizawa Gakuin High School: No. 1 Hisuhito, No. 3 Katsuda Shota, No. 4 Aibe Kai, and No. 8 Ushijima Wakali."

When it was Ushijima's turn to play, the audience The voice suddenly more than doubled in volume.

"It seems that everyone is here for Ushijima."

A young man in the audience joked, and then he was glared at by the orange-headed boy next to him.

"Wusei, you're here!"

Just when the young man felt a lot of pressure, Orange Head suddenly changed his target and turned to a younger sister-headed boy who had just arrived.

"Yeah!! There was a traffic jam, so I ran right over here." Wuse wiped the sweat from his head, and luckily he caught up.

The cheers gradually died down until Ushijima stood in the line.

"Daping Shiyin No. 9"

"Mou Qing..." The young man couldn't help but complain again.

This time, the two teenagers beside him showed approval.

"No. 10 Tendo Kaku"

"Yeah!" After high-fiving the coach, Tendo stretched out his hands to say "Yeah" and came on the stage happily.

"Hayato Yamagata No. 11."

After the members of Shiratorizawa Academy completed their formation, Aoki began to enter.

"Aoba Jonishi High School.

No. 1 Gosuke Ueda"

Ueda high-fived the two coaches before entering the field. "We will work hard."

No. 2 Maebashi Kaixiang, No. 3 Zhonghe Taiyang "

When he read No. 3, Zhonghe jumped three feet high.

"Yah! I am coming! "Clapping the hands of the two coaches hard, Chukaku jumped onto the field.

"No. 4 Touji Kan"

Touji walked out from behind Machii.

Since the last time Tianhai shared the relaxation method of his team's secondary attack, he has learned

"No. 7 Machii Shinichi"

"No. 8 Oikawa Toru. " "

A burst of cheers no less than those of Ushijima erupted in the venue.

"Come on Oikawa-sama! ! "The female fans in the stands took out homemade banners and fans and waved them vigorously.

"Damn it! ! I'm starting to get jealous of him. "Zhonghe was full of resentment, and black energy came out from behind.

"No. 9 Iwaizumi One. "

Gently high-fiving the coach, Iwaizumi exhaled a breath and strode towards the arena.

In the process, he forcibly pushed Oikawa and waved hello to the fans.

"Walk faster! "Fuck..." Thinking that there might be a camera recording this, Iwaizumi still didn't say the dirty words out loud.

"The game will start soon."

"Please give me some advice! " "

After bowing and performing the court etiquette, the players on both sides walked to their positions and stood still.

Oikawa suddenly turned back - "Everyone, today... I also believe in you. "

Beep - beep -"

The game started.

Shiratorizawa served, Ushijima Wakali.

Ushijima patted the ball twice and turned it gently.

Machii Shinichi swallowed.

The goal he set for himself was , received within two goals. " Boom

"

the referee signaled Shiratorizawa to score.

"The audience began to cheer.

Ushijima's serve hit Machii's arm hard, and it immediately became red and swollen.

"Hey, it's Ushijima as expected. "The commentator sighed.

Hearing the huge sound of the ball falling on his arm, everyone in Qingcheng turned around, "It's okay, Machii. "

"fine! "

There is one more ball, which must be followed. "

Machii recalled the special training conducted before.

"Not only are the stress points different for left-handed serves, but the rotation angles are also very different. Coupled with the huge force exerted on the ball, it will be difficult to catch it if you are not used to it. "

On the training ground, only Tenkai and Machii are still training.

"Catch my ball head-on. "Tianhai looked at Machii who wanted to avoid it and said seriously.

"Yes! "

Ushijima jumped high, and the jumping posture gradually overlapped with Tenkai in Machii's eyes.

Pay attention to the direction of rotation, and pay attention to the stress point. The force is strong, so you must raise your arms when catching the ball

... Machii thought silently in his heart.

" That's it! ! "

————"

"Ushijima!" Ushijima's ball was caught! "The two commentators on the commentary stand stood up at the same time.

"Machii Shinichi, a student from Aoba Jonishi High School, has never shown such a superb catching ability before. "

"Only two goals, Ushijima's next goal! "

The cameras at both ends of the court adjusted their positions so that the center was facing Machii.

"Okay! ! "This libero, who usually has a low presence, has become the focus of the game at this moment.

No matter what the outcome of today's game is, this libero will leave his name in the county and even the country.
