Chapter 43

"Coach Huo Shao, let me go see this group of students!"

Tianhai looked in the direction of Oikawa and Ushijima and took the initiative to ask Coach Huo Shao for his tassel.

Outside of personal time, Tianhai always calls each other "Coach Huoshao", so Huoshao Huutaro is not too surprised.

Students from all over the country who are invited to dormitories say there are a lot less and a lot more. A coach can look at two groups and take care of the whole. The group Tianhai selected was the key group discussed by several coaches last night. It made sense for him to only look at this group.

Coach Huoshao didn’t think much and nodded in agreement.

After Tenkai walked over, Coach Saku looked at his back and said with emotion: "Ushijima and Oikawa are Coach Tenkai's students. It's so great."

This was not a rumor, but Bokuto's earth-shattering "Apprenticeship" After the "ritual" was completed, all members knew about it.

Coach Huoshao had a complicated expression as he looked at Oikawa who started to make faces at Ushijima not far away.

"Originally, the head coaching staff only wanted to invite Wakali Ushijima, but thanks to Volleyball Weekly, it focused on the Miyagi Prefecture Spring High Qualifiers.

From Oikawa, we saw another possibility, so we decided to invite him "I didn't expect that he was Tianhaishu's student.

So does this mean that the coming of Heaven is partly due to these two people? If that's the case, then it's really the right invitation.

————

"How are the preparations? The three-on-three match is about to start."

Tianhai walked up to the six people, knocked on the record book in his hand, and observed the status of the students.

Oikawa must have a plan for this game. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, maybe he was holding back some bad ideas.

Ushijima remained expressionless as usual. But based on his understanding of Ushijima, he should be full of fighting spirit at this moment.

Iizuna looked very confident, but looking at Ushijima and Bokuto, there was also a hint of concern - were he worried about the team's lack of offensive power?

Why is Mutu staring at him like this, with an "I understand" look. Did he understand anything again?

Kiryu, Kiryu is so happy, it seems because there are two weightlifters in the team. Next time, let's match him with two secondary attackers and see how good he is at lifting the ball.

Turning his attention to the last Inuning Xion -

"What's wrong with him! Is he okay?" Tianhai rushed over to help Inuning who was squatting on the ground and lost his color.

"I...I'm fine." Inuning stood up from the ground, "It's just that my first game might not be too good."

As he spoke, his face turned pale.

"It doesn't matter that Ushijima and Bokuto are not easy to communicate with, but they are very reliable during the competition. Hmm... Bokuto may need to be coaxed sometimes."

He comforted the libero with a few words, hoping it would be effective. Tianhai received the signal to start burning the coach and signaled everyone to prepare.

"The game will be won by 25 points after three games. Come on, everyone!"

"Beep——" The referees came on stage.

"Maverick Waka, I'm going to beat you to a pulp—" Oikawa held the ball and stood at the service point, making a customary declaration of war.

Ushijima lowered his body and reminded his teammates: "Be careful where you serve."

The placement of Oikawa's serve became more and more tricky, in line with Tenkai, and most likely it was aimed at him.

"Okay."

The person who came here couldn't be a fool. Hearing Ushijima's reminder, Inuning was naturally mentally prepared.

"Serve the ball well." Iizuna encouraged him, holding the back of his head with both hands.

Oikawa threw the ball high with both hands, his body tall and smooth, and his raised arms were like the branches of a tree that longed for sunlight.

"I'll do it!" "Careful!"

Inuming realized something was wrong when Oikawa jumped up - it was too high.

The ball was far beyond the height of a common jump serve. It was unexpectedly familiar, as if it had been seen somewhere before.

"Don't mind." Ushijima patted Inuming on the shoulder.

It shouldn't be his job to comfort his teammates, but looking at Bokuto on the left, Ushijima decided to imitate Tendo's behavior on the team.

There has to be someone who stands up, and he thinks he is more suitable than Wood Rabbit.

Inunaki was still frowning.

He had never heard of the setter Oikawa Toru before, but he seemed to have seen this ball somewhere before, and he remembered it! Volleyball Weekly!

A few weeks ago, teammates brought a volleyball weekly to the department activity room.

If that's right - "hyper-aggressive setter"?

The Oikawa Toru in front of me is the Aoba Josaiju player in Volleyball Weekly who is very strong in serving and attacking and can be the main attacker!

Inunaki Xion felt that his whole body was heating up.

'The next ball must be the next one! '

...

"Hey! Look at me!"

Bokuto successfully found a gap in Oikawa and Kiryu's double block and dunked a straight ball.

Seeing that the ball was scored, he immediately clenched his fists to celebrate, "Hey-ha! It's so cool!"

Seeing that the coaches and referees present were all looking at him, Inuming pulled his short sleeves.

"Keep your voice down, everyone is looking over here."

Tianhai squinted his eyes helplessly, "If you say this, he will be more excited." '

But even though Mutu became quiet later, Coach Huoshao was attracted to Tianhai. He looked at Iizuna, who once again accurately saved a goal, and Oikawa, who lifted the ball perfectly.

"How do you observe?"

"The two setters on the field, no, I should say all of them, may have the ability of the V1 league and above after graduation."

Coach Huo Shao naturally knows the level of the V1 league. It's just that this "and above"

is within the scope of Japan, where else can it go? Only the national team.

The eager coach raised his eyebrows and stopped to look at the "seedlings" on the field - after all, this night out also had another purpose, which was to find reserves for the national team.

"I'll do it!"

Kiryu shouted, feeling extremely happy - so good!

Although he specializes in hitting bad shots, he just can hit bad shots, not that he doesn't like to hit good shots. Please have more balls like this that are passed perfectly!

...

"One touch!"

Ushijima caught Oikawa's long ball and passed it to Inuming.

The eyes of Iizuna and Oikawa across from them were like wild beasts, as if they would be torn apart in the next second.

"Bokuto!" Inuming broke out in a cold sweat and barely found a suitable offensive position to pass the ball to Bokuto. "

It's not his fault.

As a free agent, he is mainly responsible for catching the ball, and there are few opportunities to participate in the offense. What's more, it is even harder to find him under the defense of two setters who are eager to have eight hundred tricks. Attack opportunity.

Mutu's attack was indeed blocked.

"I...I didn't score." Mutu's towering hair drooped down, and his back gradually became less energetic. He wanted to find a place where no one was around to squat down, but in a blink of an eye he caught the eyes of Coach Huoshao and Tianhai.

"Brother Dog! Don't pass the ball to me again today!"

After saying that, he squatted down on the spot.

Shiyi's voice in Tianhai's mind trembled: "That's it! Absolutely!"

It hasn't forgotten that devil for 48 hours! It recorded so much that even the chip got hot!

Tianhai also grinned and had a headache. "This negative mode comes so quickly..."

This is only the first round.

Inunming Xion was a little helpless, "Huh? Ah..."

Should I give it or not?

"Until he gets better, you can pass it to me." Ushijima shouldered the pressure on the team at this time.

"Well done! Ushijima!" Those present couldn't help but praise Ushijima.

...

"On to the next game!"

After the first game, Coach Huoshao then arranged the second game. But this time the points are based on everyone's performance in the previous game.

Seeing the energetic look of Kotaro Bokuto on the field, Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at a critical moment in the last game, Ushijima was closely guarded by the opponent. Inuning's sudden idea passed to Bokuto.

A crisp angled vertical ball and the applause of the coaches on the scene successfully "resurrected" the first-year reserve ace of Xiaogu.

Before lunch, Coach Huoshuo patted Tianhai on the shoulder meaningfully.

"Don't forget to contact Evans and Vincent."

Tianhai, who had forgotten about this matter at first: "..."

Fortunately, Evans and Vincent finished the game in the morning, and they were free in the afternoon. time.

Tianhai, who had endured the anger of the two men yesterday, felt no psychological burden in inviting them.

"Thank you - I'll treat you to dinner when I get back." Tianhai said unceremoniously to the two of them.

And how come these two people who are so familiar with him don’t understand him?

"Don't fart, cook me a big dinner tonight." This is a precise complaint from Evans.

This little boy like him is having a great time recruiting students in Japan, and he may not go back until next year to take the coaching certificate exam.

Meanwhile, Vincent has already started searching the Internet for the "name of dish" that Tianhai once said.

"Hey! I want ramen, hot dogs, octopus balls..."

"Stop it too!"

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

Night, Tianhai Lying in bed, thinking about the conversation I had with Coach Huoshao after the evening training.

"Uncle Huo Shao, did you start working for the national team?"

So you had the opportunity to be sent by the national team to the United States for exchange?

Huo Shaohu Taro glanced at Tianhai in surprise,

"Of course not, I was a student of Sannomiya Engineering at the beginning, and became a coach after graduation. By chance, I joined the national team and became the coach."

Tianhai was nervous: "Then you How are the students who were taught in the school now? "

"Ah, some are playing in the v-league, some have given up volleyball, and some...have no contact with them anymore."

Coach Huo Shao looked at Tianhai. , I don’t know what he is thinking. "Aren't all the students you're leading just a freshman in high school? Why are you anxious? There are still two years left."

Yes... there are still two years left, but what will happen after two years?

"Ding-ding-ding-"

Calls from Lucas and Mari interrupted Tianhai's random thoughts.

"Tianhai, how does it feel to be a coach in a dormitory?"

Tianhai lay on the bed, covering his head with a quilt, his voice was a little childish.

"It's so tiring... I have to analyze data every day, and sometimes I have different opinions with other coaches."

Although this was the norm after working in the previous life, it has been nearly twenty years and the memory is still there. Became confused. But this is not the main reason for Tianhai's fatigue.

Hearing Amami's rare irritated words, Lucas and Mana looked at each other.

'Xiaoshu, is he in a bad mood? '

The Tianhai family doesn't have the habit of "solving their own affairs by themselves", so the couple asked the question directly.

"Why is Xiaoshu feeling agitated?"

Tianhai also knew that something was wrong with him, but the thoughts in his mind were very complicated.

"The students I teach will be like the students taught by Coach Huoshao. They will graduate in three years..."

What will happen after graduation? Without the current students, will I continue to stay here?

"Tianhai, how are you preparing for your coaching certificate?"

Lucas suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Tianhai thought about the recent student training plan and the almost unused theoretical knowledge, "It will still take more than half a year, Dad."

"What about after you get the coaching certificate? There will definitely be many teams recruiting you. Do you want to come back? ?"

Tianhai felt a little dizzy and couldn't even hear what his father said clearly.

I think of the Shiyi I met, the students who love volleyball, and the company of everyone in the volleyball club. Do you want to leave them and return to the United States?

"Let's talk about it then, Dad."

Tianhai chose to escape for the first time.
