Chapter 49

"Excuse me...can I conduct an interview?"

The reporter stood in front of him holding a microphone.

The reporter's face is not unfamiliar. I have seen it at junior high school sports competitions. There is excitement in his eyes about catching big news.

Takumi Kamishiro said confidently

- ever since he gave up basketball and decided to play volleyball, he has faced no less than twenty reporters like this.

"No.

We just finished a game. We are very tired and need to rest."

He pulled on his sleeves and quickly put on his coat, then took two quick steps forward to catch up with his teammates who were waiting for him in front.

He didn't want to be interviewed or asked again why he gave up basketball.

"Jindai is so - so cold..."

Kota Fuyuno, the team's deputy attacker, teased the young man with his mouth turned down,

"Others can't even get a chance to be interviewed. You The refusal was too straightforward."

"Some members of other teams were jealous when they saw it."

The blue-haired young man rubbed his hair impatiently, "If they interview me normally, I will definitely agree... .."

Fortunately, after getting along with him for more than half a year, other people in the team also knew that he was very distressed about this and didn't say anything more.

·

"Tomorrow's opponent is out, not Inarizaki, but Aoba Castle Nishi from Miyagi Prefecture."

Coach Hase of Morikawa High School looked at his phone and received the latest news - Inarizaki, Hyogo Prefecture, lost its first game to West of Aoba Castle, Miyagi Prefecture.

"Ah? Inarizaki lost? How could it be..."

Captain Nakasako Shouda leaned in front of the coach's mobile phone, and the latest news broadcast clearly announced this fact.

The Morikawa team members looked at each other.

After they read the allocation table yesterday, they never thought that Inarizaki, who had achieved good results in IH and Harutaka in previous years, would be defeated in the first round.

The team's manager, Rizzo Shinishi, quickly made arrangements,

"The coach and I will watch the video of the game first, and you guys will train first."

As a manager in the volleyball club for three years, she has studied game analysis for a period of time. Also often the coach's assistant.

"Yes! Sister Shinshi - you must help us catch their weaknesses!"

Kamishiro Takumi admired this senior who helped him a lot during his novice period.

"I know, you go and do some exercise first."

...

The screen went black, reflecting the ugly faces of coach Morikawa and the manager.

"How about we watch it again?"

Niishi Lizuo put the mouse on the start button.

Coach Hase sighed, "No, I've already seen both sides, and it won't be of any use if I look at it again."

What he just saw in the video made him understand -

"Aoba Jouni is prepared. Come here..."

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Although the performance of Qingcheng's players was excellent, what attracted him the most as a coach was the tactical arrangements and the players' excellent temporary decision-making on the court.

Almost every team member in Inarizaki is thoroughly understood by them. Especially the second and third grade students who have more competition experience.

"I don't know how much they have studied us.

Fortunately, this newcomer, Jindai, has competed in previous years, so they won't know too much and target too much."

This can be regarded as some comfort for Coach Hase and Manager Shinseki. .

· Thanks to Mari Amami in the Aoba Jonishi Hotel room , Aoshima has a huge rectangular table in the hotel suite for Aoba players to explain their positions and game strategies. 

There are a lot of people around this table now. 

"Coach, we are really going to target this Kamidai Takumi tomorrow..." Kusukawa Ang held the paper in his hand obediently, a little in disbelief. 

Although he really wanted to play as the main force, but seeing this plan... 

he silently lit a candle in his heart for the "basketball genius" on the opposite side. 

Oikawa, the other main player, is much more comfortable compared to Kusukawa. 

He accepted this strategic arrangement without hesitation, which made Iwaizumi sigh again - he is truly a heart-throb setter. 

Tianhai, who was sitting at the table and spinning his pen with his hand, had a smile on his face. 

"That's it. Coach Irihata and I have figured it out. It's absolutely fine." 

The opposite Morikawa High School, like Aoba Jonishi, is the first time to come to Spring High School. What he relies on is Takumi Kamishiro, the main attacker who is 195cm tall. 

Excellent jumping ability, height that brings difficult blocks, and flexible offense... 

If you build an offensive system with this person as the core, you will indeed be a very difficult enemy. 

Tianhai thought for two seconds and then switched the video back to the fifteenth and thirty-sixth moment of the game - in the video, the tall blue-haired young man straightened his arms and blocked the opponent's spike. 

"Expert in blocking shots." 

Tianhai still had the intention to joke with coach Irihata, while Nakakuru and Iwaizumi just took a breath of cold air. 

This is simply a fatal challenge to their two main attackers. 

I just hope that Coach Tianhai's targeting will be effective, otherwise the two of them may be blocked and shadowed. 

-------------------------- 

"The second round of the men's group, Group D, 

Aoba Castle Nishi-Morikawa High School, players from both sides are invited to play!" 

Listen Only after hearing the call from the radio did the Qingcheng team members look away from Morikawa High School across the street. 

Morikawa Freeman Shimaura Shun noticed Aoba Jonishi's gaze and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind him. 

"Why do I think they look at us weirdly?" 

But when his teammates looked back, Qingcheng had already withdrawn his gaze. 

Kamishiro Takumi looked at the "Domination Stadium" hanging high on the playing field, his eyes darkened - he would let the people in Qingcheng see what a Domination Stadium was. 

... 

"No. 8, Oikawa Tooru." 

As soon as the broadcast finished, loud cheers and cheers erupted from the audience. 

Tianhai followed the sound and noticed that in Qingcheng's support team today, there were not only Qingcheng students who followed from Miyagi County, but also many new faces. 

More of them appear to be local Tokyo students. 

"Why are there so many new fans here today?" He turned to ask Coach Irihata. 

Tianhai was still watching videos of Takumi Kamishiro's basketball games in the past until three o'clock last night. Naturally, he was unaware of the huge traffic that the tweet reported by reporter Ryoko Masai caused on the Internet.

If Qingcheng hadn't only won one Chungao match, it would have been as popular as several seeded teams.

"Dudu——"

The referee's whistle drew Tianhai's attention away from the support group and looked at Oikawa who was standing at the service point.

Oikawa stood behind the service line and expertly spun the ball twice to gain feel.

The audience was silent, staring closely at the setter who had finally made a name for himself in the volleyball world after several years of hard work.

His eyes were firm and focused on Morikawa on the other side of the net. Suddenly, I met Kamishiro Takumi

- the target is you!

Kamishiro Takumi's breath suffocated.

Catching is not his strong suit. Instead, his weakest part is catching his opponent's spikes. After all, in basketball, it is never the players who greet the opponent's spike, but the backboard.

A smile appeared on Oikawa's lips, his body bent like a bow, focusing all his strength on the coming blow. Only the sound of his breathing and heartbeat echoed in the entire field.

"What's wrong."

Ryuta Mori stood next to Takumi Kamishiro and noticed Qingcheng's purpose - he actually wanted to use his serve to contain them.

"Bang--"

The ball flew over the net so fast that it was almost impossible to react, roaring across the court.

The target is none other than Takumi Kamishiro.

Moriku Ryota moved quickly, trying to catch the ball in front of Jindai. Unfortunately, the ball hit Jindai's arm before he took a step and flew out of the court.

"Dudu——" Aoba Josei attacked and scored one point.

The audience on the field became excited. Serve, the most entertaining attack!

"One more ball! Oikawa!"

"One more ball!"

Looking at the No. 8 server standing at the service point again, Jindai's body trembled slightly.

Just losing one point was not enough to make him panic to this extent. What really made him tremble was that Qingcheng found a way to deal with him.

“Serving is the best [attack]”

Ikugawa High School in Kanagawa Prefecture, who had stayed with Aoba Jonishi, lost to Fulin High School in the qualifiers and did not come to Haruka this time.

But no one could have imagined that their creed would become Aoba Castle's weapon against Morikawa High School.

"Oikawa's jump serve, ceiling serve, Kusukawa's jump float plus Iwaizumi's powerful serve..."

Coach Irihata nodded - this is indeed an excellent idea.

But...

"How do you know that the opponent's No. 10 player is not good at catching the ball?" He turned to look at Tianhai.

Thinking back to the basketball game and qualifying video he watched yesterday, Tianhai changed the posture of his hands.

"Passing, layups, blocking shots... Although the sports are different, many basic offensive skills are similar. Otherwise, a new volleyball player will make his debut in spring high school in just one year?"

He tilted his head. , looking at Kamishiro Takumi and Morikawa High School who were badly damaged by the ceiling serve attack.

"Maybe, but it's definitely not him.

Since you rely on basketball skills, you must have the habit of basketball. With strong offense and blocking... it is not common to catch more than 50% of the ball, which is a weakness.

" Under Coach Hata's dumbfounded gaze, Tenkai closed the record book and said, "If you look at the videos of past games, the probability can be determined to be 99%."

Coach Irihata was once again very lucky that he did not reject Tenkai's joining a few months ago.

Not far away, Coach Chang Gu’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yesterday he was still sympathizing with Coach Inarizaki, but today he experienced Aoba Jonishi's strategic battle.

I thought that Takumi Kamishiro, who had only one year of competition experience, was the one the opponent knew the least about, so he was regarded as the core output of this competition.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's move was a sudden move, guessing the weakness of Jindai's lack of catching ability, which directly turned Morikawa's advantage into a disadvantage.

Looking at the scoreboard that had reached 5-0 and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jindai was in poor condition, Coach Hase raised his hand and asked for a timeout.

"Dudu——"

Only three minutes into the game, Morikawa High School used its first tactical timeout.

· Coach Morita

of the Ikukawa High School Volleyball Club

has a complicated expression - he never expected to see his friend's team using the policy Ikukawa has always pursued in the Spring High School game.

"Coach, when we stayed together, their serve was not that strong..."

Gora Masaki sat next to the TV and stated a fact that everyone present knew.

Coach Morita recalled Amami's tree that was "exchanged" during the summer vacation, as well as the "Tenkai exchange in Tokyo" mentioned by coaches Ogaya and Nekoma. He took a deep breath and took out his mobile phone.

Coach Irihata and Tenkai couldn't look at their phones at this time, so...

On the audience stage, Coach Mizoguchi was nervously looking at his team members who were resting in the audience, and suddenly received a message from Coach Morita.

——"Coach Mizoguchi, after the end of spring high school, does Coach Amami intend to travel to Kanagawa? The Ikawa Volleyball Club will give you a good reception."

Coach Mizoguchi:? ? ?

"Travel? Treat me well?"
