Chapter 23:
Xiaogu College Volleyball Club
The members of the volleyball club gathered in front of the TV, and there was silence.
At first glance, I thought Xiaogu was a team that didn’t like to talk much.
Because the spring high qualifier finals in Tokyo are held later than in Miyagi Prefecture. At the suggestion of Bokuto, the members of the Owl Valley Volleyball Club gathered together to watch the match between Aoba Josei and Shiratorizawa.
Everyone who saw Machii's performance was silent for a few moments, and then exploded -
"Did the Qingcheng Freemen have this level when they stayed together before?"
"No? Can the ability improve so much in a short period of time?"
Bokuto His face turned red with excitement, and his arms suddenly opened straight, "I want him to catch my smash."
The big owl flapped its wings hard, and the teammates on the left and right of Mutu received heavy blows.
"Mutu! - Just sit tight and don't move around while watching the game." Captain Xiaogu pressed Mutu's shoulder and smiled.
Not to mention Xiaogu's reaction, everyone in Qingcheng on the court looked at Machii.
"So handsome! How is your arm?" The team members gathered around to show concern.
Machii stroked his arm that was burning from the heavy blow. "It's a piece of cake."
Not wanting to make his teammates worry, he chose to speak harshly.
"Dudu——"
A few people hurriedly said a few words and returned to their positions. The referee signaled to prepare for the next ball.
"Oikawa, serve the ball well!"
"Come on Oikawa-sama!"
Oikawa exhaled and spun the ball with both hands.
In the footage captured by the camera, the cyan "Domination Stadium" team flag was flying behind Oikawa.
The unique vocal accompaniment of Qingcheng's cheerleaders was broadcast to TVs across the country along with the live broadcast, and what was also remembered was Oikawa's serve.
Toss the ball, lower your center of gravity, and leap high.
In the cheerleading team's low-pitched tail, the ball quickly arrived - in front of Kakuhito.
Captain Shiratorizawa only felt a gust of wind and the ball had already fallen to the ground.
"Damn it, this is a provocation!" Katsura glared at Oikawa through the net, and saw the other person touching his hair and making a playful look.
"Hey~" Oikawa was so beaten that his teammates couldn't stand it anymore.
The next ball -
"One more ball!" "Good serve, Oikawa!"
"Bang!"
The ball landed at the feet of Shion Ohira.
The excited voice of the commentator spread throughout the scene
, "Oikawa's serve is still so sharp!"
The next second, Coach Washi Takumi shouted with anger from the sidelines.
"If you don't watch the football seriously on the court, why not make eye contact with a woman!"
Seeing Washujiang getting angry, Amami immediately spoke to stimulate him.
"Oikawa, come on!"
His tone was so gentle, like a parent looking after his favored child. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at the buzzard maker.
'Gentle coaches are obviously more popular with students, right? "
Hearing the criticism from the Eagle Craftsman, Daping shrank his neck in fear.
But -
'Was it just an illusion? It was obvious that Oikawa was staring at Ushijima when he served..."
Oikawa, who caught the opponent's gaze, turned his head and smiled mysteriously. "I will serve you the next ball."
"It's Oikawa Tooru's serve again! It is worthy of being recognized as the most entertaining way of serving! Can Oikawa-san score another point with this ball?"
Ohira Shione slowly said Shedding a drop of cold sweat. Who will he send it to?
Sensing that his teammates were a little nervous, Ushijima moved slightly in the direction of Ohira.
Ushijima took Tenkai's words to heart, "A qualified ace will pay attention to the status of his teammates." He used his own way to comfort Ohira.
"I will catch this ball."
Ushijima! Ushijima is actually paying attention to our status!
The Shiratorizawa players on the field were a little shocked when they heard this, and even Tendo was surprised.
"Oh-ha!"
The voices of Qingcheng's support group sounded, and Oikawa showed the movements that were engraved in his bones.
"Ball! The ball has reached between the two of them!" the commentator's voice sounded the moment the ball hit the ground.
"Aoba Era, there is nothing to hinder! Attack and attack!"
"Aoba Jonishi, a first-year setter, has already scored three consecutive points with his serve! For the third ball, he chose to hit No. 8 Ushijima and No. 9 Ohira. In the middle! His control over the ball is shocking.
"I'll throw it to you next time."
Looking at Daping's nervous eyes, Oikawa said the same thing.
After all, the mentality of defeating your opponent is also one of the ways to win.
Seeing a scene that was very similar to that on the training field at that time, Tianhai's eyes were full of meaning.
'How would you choose? '
"Ah! It's the same situation again!" Xiangyang in the stands obviously also remembered this very similar scene.
The five-color worker on the side was very curious and pinched Xiangyang's arm gently. "What's going on? Hinata, have you encountered anything?"
Xiangyang explained clearly in a few words.
"Wow! That's awesome, Ushijima!" Goshiki Gong's eyes flashed with little stars, "You are so handsome only an ace can say the words 'Leave it to me'!"
The intention was not to introduce how handsome Ushijima is. Yang: "..." "
Ohira." Ushijima spoke up on the court. "You take the next ball, and I will knock it back."
"Okay!"
"I'll do it!" Watching Ushijima arrive again With the serve beside him, Ohira moved two steps to the right.
Xiangbu jogged two steps quickly. The angle of the first pass is not very good, but -
enough!
"Ushijima scored with a spike! Aokiro's continuous serve was interrupted!"
"Damn it! With his character, he would give up his position to the opponent?"
Oikawa was a little resentful when his original plan to score another point was interrupted.
"The person who knows you best is your opponent" This is true. At least in the past few years of fighting Ushijima, Oikawa thought he still understood him.
I just don’t know why the other party changes so quickly.
Tianhai on the coaching bench touched his nose in embarrassment.
The score is now 4-3.
"Shiratorizawa's server this time is Kota Katsuda, a good jump serve!"
"I'll do it!" Maebashi took two quick steps.
The ball flew toward Oikawa, who was standing on the right wing.
"Who will Oikawa choose to pass the ball to? At this time, Shiratorizawa's blocking defense has already..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Tendou on the right side of the net was squatting in preparation, and Oikawa shouted
"Nakatsuru-senpai!——"
"Got it!"
A beautiful angled ball bypassed Tendo and Katsuda.
"Eh-" Tendo said in a disappointed tone. Didn't guess right.
"Good job!" Touji looked at Tendo on the other side of the net.
The last time IH played, he couldn't stop Ushijima Wakali as a blocker. But Tendou Kaku can guess the direction of his teammates' attack almost every time.
After the game, he gave up the adaptive blocking that he was good at and chose the anticipatory style.
5-3
Qingcheng Fang serves, Iwaizumi stands on the service point.
Washi Takumi glanced at Iwaizumi twice.
'This is another of his disciples? The strength looks good, but the height is not. '
In the world of volleyball where height is king, he is destined not to last long.
Seeing the disdainful expression on Washi Takumi's face, Amami's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"This stinky old man..."
The camera slowly rotated, and Iwaizumi, who was facing him, was breathing heavily.
Can't see what's on the other side of the wall because it's not high enough?
Then break it! !
"Bang!——"
"Ah!" The voice came from the audience.
I saw the ball burst out of my hand, and the air seemed to scream slightly because of the rapidly rotating ball. The ball bounced in Yamagata's arms and flew toward the second-floor auditorium.
"Yamagata! Are you okay?"
This time Yamagata felt what Machii felt just now.
Yamagata, who was knocked down by the impact of the ball, grinned for a long time before standing up.
"It's okay, I was not prepared just now. The next ball is no problem."
Tianhai turned around and saw Coach Washiji slowly sat down, the surprise on his face not yet completely gone.
Seeing Tianhai turn to look at him, Jiushi immediately adjusted his expression, and Yun Danfeng let out a soft "hum".
"This power! I can't believe this is the physical fitness of a high school student!" The commentator on the stage exclaimed in admiration when he saw the ball that was almost at the same height as himself.
However, Iwaizumi's second ball was caught by Ushijima Wakali, and the main goal was scored by the main player Hisahito Kaku.
As the game progressed, the audience also saw clearly the huge difference in the fighting styles of the two teams.
"Whether it's the individual strength and skills that Coach Washi Shouchi favors and the smart cooperation that Coach Tenkai advocates, both teams are perfectly reflected..."
"No matter which team it is, it can win." The spectators in the stands Everyone looked at the score of 15-13 and felt a little excited.
The focus of the audience has shifted from the outcome of the game to the exciting game.
Whether it’s the dark horse defeating the victorious general or the devil defeating the king again – the ups and downs of the plot and the excitement of the game are the best secrets to attract the audience.
Behind the TV screen, looking at the soaring ratings, the person in charge was laughing so hard that his eyes could not see his teeth.
of course there are exceptions.
"Come on, Master!" Xiangyang, who was sitting on the audience stage, made a barrel shape with his hands and shouted hard, his face turning red.
Tianhai heard clearly from the coaching bench: "Xiangyang, I didn't play, it's embarrassing just calling my name."
The five colors beside Xiangyang were even more hesitant and couldn't even tell which team they supported .
'Ushijima-senpai is so handsome, he is so handsome in both offense and ball! It’s simply the ace in my heart! '
I also saw Iwaizumi comforting Nakakuru who failed to attack with a small diagonal ball. 'But Iwaizumi-senpai's offensive ability is also very strong, and he doesn't seem to have a weird personality. '
The entanglement of young people is hidden in their hearts. The most important thing at the moment is the game.
"Akibe chose to pass the ball to the main goalkeeper - and was blocked! The double block formed by Maebashi and Touji was even comparable to three people!" The commentator spoke so fast that he flew up.
19-17
"I'll do it!" Machii took the ball from Ushijima and passed it to Oikawa.
"Xiaoyan!——" Oikawa Tooru gave a precise back pass.
"Bang!"
20-17
"You can't fool me with sight guidance——" Tendou looked down at Maebashi.
"Hey." Maebashi turned around.
"Crack, it's broken. What's broken?"
Tendo turned around and turned in a circle, saying "yeah" with his long, bandaged hands.
"It's someone's heart -"
"You bastard." Maebashi said angrily, the hair on his brown hair rising to the sky.
"Calm down, Maebashi-senpai!" Oikawa and Touji hugged Maebashi to prevent him from rushing to the other side of the net.
The score came to
a two-point difference of 20-18.
It's just two points, but two points means victory in a volleyball match. Ueda can no longer remember how many times he lost to Shiratorizawa with a score of 23-25.
But this time, he will no longer lose.
"Qingcheng Qingcheng, attack, attack!"
"Dominate the court!"
21-18
21-19
···
24-22
The audience was almost silent, and everyone was looking at the scoreboard.
A difference of two points. This time, the person standing on the edge of the cliff was Shiratorizawa.
