Chapter 41

"Hey - do you have to call my name at that time?"

Tian Haishu, who was carried back by Coach Huoshao, put on his spare training clothes, veins popped out on his brows, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Evans who was standing aside.

This guy!

Evans rummaged through his backpack for extra wrist and knee pads, and said angrily: "This player, please pay attention to your words, I am now the coach -"

Tian Haishu, who was forced to play as a coach:... .This

guy definitely did it on purpose!

Fortunately, Button didn't care that Tianhai took his position:

"Come on, Tianhai. It's a pity that I didn't play a game with you in high school. Let me see your strength."

Tianhai said to people other than Evans Very polite: "I will try my best."

Vincent briefly introduced the teammates of the second team, and briefly talked about each person's position and the ball they are good at - this was already because Tian Haishu was helping. .

When they were in high school, they loved to play volleyball at various volleyball courts. Even if he is a complete stranger to his teammates, as long as this guy adapts to four or five goals, he will become a tacit understanding.

"Is the teacher coming on stage?" Oikawa was a little excited. He didn't care who was standing next to him and casually tugged on his sleeve.

He hasn't seen Tianhai's official game live yet.

"Yeah."

Ushijima stared at the golden figure warming up with burning eyes. What will it look like?

Although Iizuna and Kiryu were also paying attention to the game on the field, they did not miss the "teacher" in Oikawa's mouth.

"You call him teacher?"

"Yes. I am Ushijima Wakali, from Shiratorizawa Academy. This is Ao Coach Oikawa Toru and Tianhai from Ye Chengxi are our two teachers."

Kiryu was a little envious: "I am so lucky to have a coach I know here."

He has felt so strange and stressed since he came here.

"Dudu - the game begins."

The referee's whistle interrupted the conversation of several people, and everyone once again turned their full attention to the field.

Everyone stood in position, waiting for their teammates to serve. Evans held the back of his head and smiled provocatively at Tianhai.

"I haven't cooperated for so long. Will I be raw?"

"I'll do it!" "Pay attention to your position!"

Lamb's serve was caught by the opponent, and the No. 3 attacker came back from the attack and gave Evans a good shot. pass.

As soon as Evans turned his face, he saw Tianhaishu already standing where he expected -

he called out a familiar name that he hadn't called out in half a year, as if he had returned to every time they had in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Lift the ball.

"Ashu!"

"Don't catch the ball!!" the Japanese team's setter shouted to his teammates who were about to step forward to catch the ball.

Jinxin was a little confused when he heard the captain's stop, but he still obeyed and dodged.

"Boom!!"

Everyone present looked at the ball flying to the height of three stories, and then turned to look at the sky and sea with light clouds and wind.

He fine-tuned the uncomfortable wristband and finger tape, and said to Evans:

"Don't worry, when I become an old man, I can catch your ball."

...

Scores of the two teams It's expanding rapidly.

The 2-point difference at the beginning gradually turned into 3 points, 4 points, and finally the game ended with a 7-point difference.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Tianhai squatted beside the chair in an indistinct manner, taking large gulps of water.

Sure enough, after not playing a game for a long time, it was different to suddenly have a fierce game. He obviously practices a lot more every day than he did in high school, but he obviously struggles after a dozen games.

Vincent sat next to him and wiped his sweat, not forgetting to remind Tianhai:

"Drink slowly, don't choke."

The coaching staff not far away - both American coaches and Japanese coaches were whispering.

Saku Youhei bent down and whispered to coach Huo Shao: "Chief coach, our youth intensive camp is so strong - can you call someone like this to come and be an assistant coach?"

He now feels that he was selected under such high standards, It's incredible.

Huo Shaohu Taro also wiped his sweat: "I don't know, he is much stronger now than the third year of high school. Is he really in his prime age?"

Ramones asked his assistant: "You said How likely am I to take him back? "

If this kid doesn't go back to the second team for a year, and then be promoted to the first team to play. Being a coach here?

The teaching assistant shook his head, helpless, and did not dare to say a word.

——Stealing people in front of the national team at the Tokyo Stadium?

"Fortunately, I am with you two today, otherwise we would have overturned." Tianhai once again expressed his feelings that his teammates are familiar friends.

It seems that I still have to play games occasionally to prevent rust.

Shiyi reminded in his mind: "Ashu, if it weren't for them, you would have escaped successfully."

...That makes sense. When you get angry, let your teammates guess.

"Hey! Master, you are so awesome!"

Bokuto's voice came from outside the half court, and beside him was Oikawa who was trying to cover his mouth.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Oikawa had no choice but to emphasize it again. "Teacher is not your master!"

Who said this owl is stupid, he is smart!

Bokuto tilted his head, his eyes extremely pure, "But I learned a lot from Master Tianhai's attack. Doesn't this still make me a master?"

"Of course not!"

In the end, it was Iizuna who stopped him.

"Bokuto, as far as I know, apprenticeship is very serious. Some even require tea from Doshitaza! Those who are very hasty now may make the other party unhappy."

"Eh--really? Okay. , then I will wait for Coach Tianhai to finish the game to become a disciple!"

He wants to establish the deepest bond between master and disciple! !

Oikawa showed his thumbs up and said, "He is indeed the best lifter in the Youth Olympics!"

He expressed admiration for the setter's strength!

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

The second game started quickly.

The Japanese team adapted a lot after one game, and the two teams gradually played back and forth.

"As expected, I feel much better after getting familiar with this guy."

The words of one person in the team made the captain of Japan's second team frown, "Don't relax."

He always felt weird.

Among the dormitory students, Iizuna also felt that something was wrong, and there was an inexplicable sense of disharmony.

"What's wrong?" he murmured softly.

Ushijima didn't expect him to notice this and looked at him with some shock in his eyes.

Are you so observant?

"Teacher Tianhai, he is left-handed."

At the same time.

The captain of the Japanese team on the field finally realized it - it's the position!

"Be careful, he's left-handed!"

Since there are some differences in the attack angles and body directions of left- and right-handers, sometimes the position difference shown by the opponent is due to the change of hands!

"He's left-handed?!"

Tianhai gently adjusted the bandage on his left hand with his right hand and walked to the tee point with the ball.

——It’s time for his serve.

He grinned and found his usual state in the arena,

"Finally I found it, I'll reward you with a left-handed serve."

He didn't use his right hand just to let off steam. This was not in line with his competitive policy, but was too much. He needs to "warm up" after not playing a game for a long time.

It doesn't mean a warm-up with physical activity, but a warm-up in the arena - after being a good-tempered teacher teaching students for too long, the ferocity of his attacks has dropped a lot.

Evans hugged the back of his head very seriously this time and reminded his teammates:

"Hold tight! If we hit it, we will see it on the social news!"

The shadow of volleyball was reflected in the eyes of the high school students in the dormitory - high ball, so high The ball is almost reaching the ceiling, running, the body is almost bent into a U shape, and the left arm is thrown out like a whip.

"Bang -"

"See you tomorrow." Tian Haishu waved goodbye to the two teammates who left.

He doesn't have to play again tomorrow. A substitute will fly over from the United States tonight.

But -

he turned around and looked at the people with strange eyes.

Coach Huo Shao, Coach Saku, the high school students who stayed at the training camp, the head coach of the second team who came over...

"Why are you looking at me like this? I didn't ask you to play, you agreed!"

Tianhai said reproachfully. Watch the coach burn.

If Uncle Huoshao hadn't been the first to agree, he wouldn't have had to play.

"Ahem, no, you performed very well. Team members who stayed together this time! Let's go to our floor first."

Coach Huoshuo avoided Tianhai's gaze and led the students downstairs.

Tianhai even heard Coach Saku's threats like Bokuto who didn't want to leave and wanted to watch the second team training.

"If you don't leave, I'll ask you to catch Coach Tianhai's serve!"

? ? ? Am I some kind of big bad wolf?

————

"Let me introduce myself, I am the head coach of this YOUTH Youth Intensive Camp, Huo Shaohu Taro. These two are the assistant coaches Amami Shu and Saku Hinata. The three of us will be responsible for your training for these five days."

Huo Shao Coach Look at the students standing in two rows.

"The students who can be warned are all excellent students, and our goal is to make the Japanese men's volleyball team go global and stand at the top of the world!"

This was originally a passionate encouragement. But standing next to Coach Huoshao, Tianhai, who had just been wearing the uniform of the US national team, this "top of the world" has changed a bit.

Many students were secretly observing this assistant coach - Raymond had just invited him to return to the United States at the door. This act of poaching in front of him made the coach so angry that his face turned green.

Tianhai, who was in a daze, didn't notice Coach Huoshao's words at all.

After all, he had heard the leader's "just a few words" countless times during recess exercises in his previous life.

The rhetoric remains unchanged.

"We will organize some training for everyone in the next few days. Of course, you can also learn a lot from communicating with each other. For the rest of the day, you can do some communication and independent training."

It can be seen that many students are interested Wanting to digest what he just watched, Coach Huoshao thoughtfully changed the original plan.

Saku Youhei added:

"Coach Tianhai and I are usually in the venue. When Coach Huoshao summarizes information, he will go to the coaching room. If you have any questions, you can ask us at any time."

"Now you can move freely." Tianhai added the last sentence.

Seeing the students scattering away, Tianhai walked to a seat nearby and wanted to rest for a while. After all, two games consume a lot of energy.

"Master - please accept me as your disciple!"

An owl with fluttering wings slid over from not far away, holding a cup of barley tea in his hand.

"Toshitaza and tea! Master, am I very pious! Accept me as your disciple! Teach your disciples the offensive skills!!"

Seeing Tianhai's completely confused expression, Iizuna and Oikawa, who were not far away, slapped their foreheads helplessly. .

“Mutu—I didn’t ask you to sit down and serve a bottle of barley tea like this!!”
