Chapter 24

is one point away.

Oikawa glanced at the electronic scoreboard and closed his eyes.

Calm down, the more you need to be calm at this time.

The audience looked at the big screen and cheered in surprise - it was Oikawa's turn to serve again.

The moment the cyan figure stood at the tee point, the scene became extremely silent.

Whether it was the spectators and commentators present, or those watching the game on television, there was a tense silence at this moment.

In front of the Karasuno Volleyball Club TV, Daichi Sawamura and Takashi Sugawara sat on both sides of Asahi Azuma, holding his hands tightly.

"Uh-huh, I'm so nervous. Can you succeed? The first round!" Sugawara put his hand to his lips in excitement.

Dong Fengxu was pinched hard by the two people beside him, but he didn't feel any pain and stared at the TV with great concentration.

"Oikawa is ready! He took a few steps back, and he is still retreating!"

The commentator looked at Oikawa who was already close to the edge, not sure what he was going to do.

Oikawa glanced at Ushijima very calmly, and then looked at Amami.

As the eight-second countdown was winding down, Oikawa threw the ball high.

"Oh-ha!" Qingcheng Support Team's characteristic serving accompaniment came to mind.

The height of the ball is close to the ceiling!

The Shiratorizawa members stared at the ball under the glare of the lights.

here!

Oikawa jumped as the high ball landed in a familiar spot.

It's a little different from the expected location, but!

Under Ushijima's shocked eyes, the ball fell just a hair away from the sideline!

"This! Is this a combination of a ceiling serve and a jump serve? Finding the opportunity to attack when the ball falls at high speed - this is simply awesome!"

The commentator looked excitedly at this serve that had never been played in the Spring High Qualifiers before. At the same time, he still did not forget to explain to the audience.

"This serve is unique among high school students!"

Regardless of whether Oikawa hit the ball by chance or otherwise, the photographer with many years of records on the side is sure that as long as Aoba Jonishi can win this spring high school qualifying final , Volleyball Weekly will not give up reporting on this goal.

25-23

Looking at the familiar numbers on the electronic scoreboard, Oikawa was much calmer than he expected.

"The game has just begun, don't get too excited."

After Oikawa finished saying this calmly, he took the water glass from Tianhai's hand and refilled it with light salt water.

"Only Chukaku is excited..." Touji breathed heavily.

His amount of exercise in this game is not small. Although he did not successfully block Ushijima's ball, he did prevent the opponent's ball from being smashed several times.

Maebashi grabbed his collar and fanned himself. It felt bad to be covered in sweat. "But I really feel that Oikawa has completely changed when he touches the volleyball on the court."

"Well, he will become very serious and serious, making people want to trust him." Ueda tied up his long hair and turned his gaze to The sky and the sea aside.

"You are worthy of being a master and apprentice." Coach Tianhai's style on the court has gradually affected Oikawa. Oikawa's passing now has a bit more strength than before.

He is now like a dusty pearl, whose original darkness has been gently brushed away by a pair of big hands, becoming dazzling and displayed in front of the world.

"This move... is a trump card." The five-color worker in the stands was still immersed in the ball just now, and his heart became more and more entangled.

He had never imagined that there would be so many ace seniors in Miyagi County that he wanted to follow.

No matter what people outside the field thought, the short break ended quickly and the people in Qingcheng returned to the field.

People outside the stadium began to cheer for the game, and the news of Qingcheng's first win in the qualifying rounds flew to various schools like wings.

"Boom——" Ushijima's heavy blow awakened the audience from the surprise of Aoki's victory.

"As expected of the weird boy Ushijima, he told us with a resounding hit that the absolute height and absolute power are unstoppable."

"Shiratorizawa setter Kaibu made an amazing choice. He chose to pass the ball to the right position. Very superior Odaira Shiyin! Can he score? "

Odaira sends a fast and heavy ball, and the ball is about to hit the ground!

"Machii caught the ball! Now the ball is in Oikawa's hands - Touji Kan scores a goal!"

Also choosing to win by surprise, Ohira chosen by Aibe Kai was picked up, but Touji succeeded in scoring due to Iwaizumi's guidance.

Xiangbu closed his eyes and counted silently.

3-2-···

"Xiangbu! What are you doing!" Washi Takumi's angry criticism reached his ears within three seconds.

Hiding the unwillingness on his face, the Prime Minister quickly admitted his mistake.

But in his mind, it was just bad luck.

It will definitely work next time.

Tendou patted Ushijima. Because the setter did not choose him, his leaping movement was forcibly stopped.

"Are you okay?" Tendo asked quietly.

"It's okay." Ushijima turned to look at Aibu Kai, "Aibu-senpai, you can choose to give the ball to me."

"Yeah..." Although he agreed, the displeasure on Aibu Kai's face was whether it was Anyone can see it.

The game continued anxiously, with the score difference between the two sides never exceeding two points.

After blocking Kakuhito's ball, Touji and Ueda high-fived each other.

"Great stop!" Zhonghe pounced on Touji.

"Dudu——" This was Aoba Castle's request for a pause.

After scoring just one point, Aoba Jonishi and Shiratorizawa were evenly divided: 17:17.

This was not a good score.

Once it reaches 24 points and is still tied at the end of the game, it may even reach 35-35 or above according to the current situation of Aoki and Shiratorizawa.

The finals of the Spring High Qualifiers are different from the previous ones. They adopt a BO5 format, which is a best-of-five game system. Exhausting any energy before winning the final will increase the risk of failure in the fifth game.

After seeing Shiratorizawa's current fatal weakness, Amami immediately signaled coach Irihata to request a timeout.

The Qingcheng players surrounded Tianhai.

The tactical pause was very short. In order to speak more, Tianhai spoke very fast.

"Pay attention to Shiratorizawa's setter. He may not be willing to accept Washi Takumi's arrangement - passing the ball to Ushijima. He thinks that he is not a tool man but a conductor, commanding the players of Shiratorizawa."

Having said that, people who should understand will naturally understand. Oikawa nodded understandingly.

He noticed something was wrong when he just played, but he didn't know where this sense of dissonance came from. As soon as coach Tianhai said it, he naturally understood.

Typical representatives who don’t understand: Nakakuru and Touji were still confused until they came on stage.

"What did the coach say? Does anyone want to be a conductor? What does it have to do with tools?" Zhonghe was confused.

Machii, the only normal person on the team, dragged Touji onto the field. "Just leave these mental matters to our setter."

On the stage again, everyone in Shiratorizawa didn't know what Tianhai said to Qingcheng, but Washokudou's reminder just now was still in their ears.

"That kid from Tianhai is extremely good at psychological tactics. I watched his previous games in the United States, and he would not pause to talk about technical problems. The pauses show that he has thought of some psychological tactics."

Even the expressions of the people in Qingcheng are different, and their smiles There is a trace of unfinished meaning in it.

'Sure enough, psychological warfare cannot be resisted by being prepared. '

This is the sentiment of Aibu Kuai, who was teased three times by Qingcheng's setter Oikawa Toru.

He did not expect that the target of psychological warfare was himself.

"I'll do it!" Dahei Shiyin's pass was spot on.

But, who should I choose to pass it on to? A three-man block on the opposite side has been formed, with Katsura in the best position.

no! He had already made three mistakes, and he couldn't do it again -

"Ushijima!" In desperation, Aangbe chose to give the ball to Ushijima, who had been unwilling to accept it before.

However, even Ushijima, who was blocked by three people, was unable to score points.

"One touch!" Toushi stopped the ball.

"I'll do it!" With Oikawa's back pass, Iwaizumi smashed the ball to the floor.

"Come on, Prime Minister No. 4 of Shiratorizawa, come on, Eita Semi of No. 11,"

the cold announcement announced, and Prime Minister No. 1 seemed to be frozen. Was he substituted?

"We don't need such a strong-minded team member in Shiratorizawa!"

IH, Harutaka. Coach Washi's original criticism was like a ball of thread, tightly wound.

"I...I can still fight! I will pass it to Ushijima!" Aibe said with a trembling voice.

Now the game is coming to an end...Shiratorizawa can't lose!

"Xiangbu! You kid, calm down!" Coach Washi Shougang's roar penetrated the distracting thoughts in his heart. Strangely, my mind calmed down.

Semi Eita is the new first-year substitute. Although the foundation is good, it is obviously far from the two Oikawa who have rich experience in Aoba Jonishi.

After some struggle, Aoba Joxi once again won with a score of 27-25.

"No way! With this trend, is Aoba Josai really going to win this year?" The audience was really excited this time.

They seemed to have seen a real dark horse.

"Why is Shiratorizawa so bad this time? That setter just now made so many mistakes. Is this the starting setter for the national competition team?"

Hearing faint boos from the audience, Aibu quickly clenched his fists.

Saying he can, but belittling Shiratorizawa—no! They are a whole.

"Coach! Please let me play!" Xiangbu Kuai's eyes were firmer than ever before.

The Eagle Craftsman has calmed down. "Calm down? If you dare to do this again, run back to Shiratorizawa by yourself!"

"Yes!"

Ueda sipped water, "In the past, when we played against Shiratorizawa, I always hoped to play a few more games. I would like to have another chance . " Okay. I've never looked forward to a BO3 final like today."

"Yes. If it were three games, we would have won." Touji held his knees and moved slowly - not letting his body stop is a good way to maintain the state of the game. .

"Don't lower your guard, be careful of Shiratorizawa letting two chase three. When we win, you can say whatever you want." Machii habitually reminded his teammates who were worried, and when he saw -

the team members instantly panicked , even the steady Iwaizumi had a hint of panic.

"This, this could be the legendary FLAG!" Zhonghe put his head in his hands and applied the knowledge points in the JUMP comic to the fullest.

Looking at the Shiratorizawa player next door, whose eyes were full of sparks, a bad premonition came to the Aojo player's heart.

No way? ! Really starting to enter the red blood frenzy! ——
