Chapter 52

"Contestants enter!

Group C Jingdashan Gakuin High School has won the spring high school championship three times. Now they and Aoba Castle Nishi appeared in the spring high school for the first time.

Who can win the final victory and advance to the semi-finals!"

The commentary is in The participating team members tried their best to warm up for the competition during the warm-up period.

The packed audience was clearly on the verge of boiling over - even though there were only two games, the number of spectators was larger than in previous days.

"Wow! Xiaochen, come on - if you don't sit forward, you'll miss the good spot!"

Yuan Komori, who had bean-shaped eyebrows, had no choice but to grab his cousin who was trying to retreat into the crowd, "You are the one we are fighting against today. I'm very interested in Aoba Josai!"

Sakuza Seomi looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, frowned, and even moved the two moles on his forehead.

He continued to shrink back, resistance written all over his body.

Gu Sen saw that more and more people were sitting in front of him, and he was about to miss the best viewing position. He didn't care how Sakuza would glare at him later, he pushed the other person's shoulders and walked forward.

"Obviously mysophobia is not a serious one... I don't find you disgusted even though I'm throwing myself around on the court." He muttered.

Fortunately, the two reached the front row in time and caught the best position.

The two cousins, who are still junior high school students, came to the Spring High School competition. Firstly, because Jingda Mountain Academy High School had signed a recommendation agreement with the two of them, they should be confirmed to go to Jingda Mountain for volleyball. Department.

Secondly...

"How did they defeat Ruoli? No, who can stop Ruoli's block? Or smash the ball..."

Sakuzao on the side muttered

quietly—— After he learned that Shiratorizawa did not enter the spring high school, he was first shocked and suspected that Ushijima was in poor condition. Afterwards, I watched the video of the qualifying final ten times, and I was still curious as to why Shiratorizawa lost.

It was clear that the absolute strength of Aoba at that time was not greater than that of Shiratorizawa, but it seemed that there was a transparent hand helping the opponent, and the scale of victory tilted towards Aoba Jōnishi.

"Come on Jingdashan Academy! Work hard!"

"Jingdashan, the ever-victorious king!!"

"Come on Qingcheng! Qingcheng must win!"

The cheering group not far away has begun to show its presence - among them Qingcheng The musical instrument department specially took an overnight bus from Miyagi Prefecture to come to the scene.

"At the foot of Qingye Mountain, on the land illuminated by the sun -

praising wisdom and courage, inheriting virtue and sincerity..."

As soon as the Qingcheng Ensemble Department sounded, the audience seemed to be dragged into Qingye Mountain Deep in the forest, sunlight shines through the leaves.

"It sounds great. It's worthy of the name of [Pitch Waltz], Aoba Jonishi."

Komori heard the young couple beside him discussing in low voices, "Pitch Waltz? It really suits Aojo's temperament."

Sakuza was silent, thinking about this. The title is noncommittal.

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

"Is he the target of my mission here?"

Dongji, who was warming up on the field, looked confused and stared. Looking at the No. 1 attacker on the opposite side

- the two-meter-tall captain Jing Dashan, Michimoto Okora.

"Wow! Touji, you're starting to worry again. Try your best to stop him, I'm behind you!"

Machii patted Touji on the back with great force, slapping away all the uncertainty on his expression.

This kid is like this, always unsure of himself. Once you are confident, you will be very powerful.

Iwaizumi stretched his legs while looking at No. 3 Kengo Kusanabe opposite him.

If the coaches' guess was correct, the blocker on the opposite side would probably stop him and Nakakaku no less than ten times this game.

In the spring high competition played by Kusanabe in the past three years, the number of attackers he blocked ranged from 100 to 80. Coach Tianhai’s requirement for himself is to succeed in at least 1/2 of his attacks.

Iwaizumi was a little unconvinced - he admitted that the opponent's secondary attacker was very strong, but would half of his attacks be blocked?

"Boom -"

The sound of the ball attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, and even the members of Xiaogu next door turned to look at this side.

"Bokuto! Stop looking, let's warm up!"

"Got it!"

Looking at the ball that was about to fly to the audience stand on the second floor, Maebashi narrowed his eyes and looked at the instigator.

Takao Eito still remembered what the opponent's main attacker said about the half-ripe yellow bananas from Mount Ida, and with the purpose of showing off his fists, he hit a goal that shocked the entire audience.

"How's it going? Are you scared?" His eyes flashed, and he turned his face to look at the other side with pride.

However... what I saw was Qingcheng's expressionless disregard.

With a stunned look on his face, he turned around and ran towards Senior Zhenren, who was also the main attacker.

"I hate them!"

As everyone knows, the people in Qingcheng are so ignorant.

They were clearly shocked, and their little heads were spinning rapidly, concentrating on thinking of ways to deal with it.

"Dudu——"

The referee took his position and signaled that the game was about to begin.

Before Oikawa came on the field, he looked at everyone with a serious expression: "Everyone..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Qingcheng players laughed in unison, "Today, I believe in you too!"

Tianhai on the coaching bench. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled

- seeing that his team members were in good condition, he felt much more relaxed.

The audience stage gradually became quiet, and the support group also stopped shouting, creating a somewhat focused environment for the players.

The four team members on the field exhaled at the same time and walked onto the field.

.

'The first server is Jingdashan College.'

The Qingcheng supporters' expressions tightened.

Qingcheng was very lucky in Chungao and was able to get the right to serve almost every time. The audience is also used to Qingcheng being able to score at least three points at the start.

"Sorry."

Ueda returned to his seat.

"Don't mind!"

Machii stared at Captain Idayama No. 1 standing at the tee point and swallowed.

Jumping hair? Or... dance!

The ball flew over the net and came to Qingcheng. Maebashi's pupils shrank and he raised his hand to catch the ball. He didn't react but jumped.

Seeing the ball flying out of the court, the Jingdashan support group cheered.

"One more ball!" "One more ball!"

"Sorry! Damn it..." Qingcheng did not pick up the opponent's serve, which only made Jing Dashan's team members more energetic.

Ueda waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely catch the next ball!"

Machii rarely comforted the opponent - he was still thinking about the opponent's floating ball.

Coach Tianhai told him carefully about Jing Dashan's serve last night.

"Every member of Jingdashan's team has a jump serve, but the only one who can jump the ball is the captain Domoto Okora. His jump ball has a very large rotation angle..."

The eight-second countdown ended, and Dauben quickly threw the ball again. "Whoa!——"

"A larger angle will cause the flow of wind, and the rotation will be difficult to see clearly. Look carefully at the arc of the ball and feel the wind."

The ball's... arc is on the right!

"I'll do it!"

Machii shouted to stop Ueda from taking a step forward and came to the right. He held up his hands in a reaction time of almost only 0.1 seconds -

"Catch it!" "Ahhhhh!"

"No. 7 Machii Shinichi caught Idayama's floating ball!

This extremely talented and hard-working freedom He once showed superb catching skills in the qualifying match against Shiratorizawa! Facing the captain of the strong school Itoyama, he received the opponent's serve again! "

Oikawa!"

"No problem!

" Machii started to shift position as soon as he touched the ball.

He paid attention to Jing Dashan's players from the corner of his eye, and while the other team was still paying attention to whether the ball could be caught, he quickly exchanged glances with Iwaizumi.

The tacit understanding of more than ten years made Iwaizumi instantly understand Oikawa's intentions. His body was shaking slightly with excitement, and his abdomen even spasmed a little.

The No. 3 deputy attacker, Cao Bu, who should have been paying attention to the opponent at all times, missed the only opportunity to discover Qingcheng's offense.

"Xiaoyan!——"

The ball fell to the ground almost at the same time as the shout.

"No. 8 Oikawa Toru and No. 9 Iwaizumi used the first negative rhythm fast break of the game!" The commentator's face began to turn red with excitement.

Many teams at Chuncheng High School have used fast breaks, but such a smooth negative-tempo fast break still amazed the audience.

Lucas, who was sitting in the audience, had deep meaning in his eyes.

The average height of the Japanese men's volleyball team is less than 1.9 meters, which is considered a disadvantage among international teams of about 2.1 meters, so the Japanese team loves the cooperation of various tactics.

Short passes and fast breaks are the most commonly used methods to disrupt the opponent's defensive system.

Even if Tian Haishu did not explicitly tell Lucas, he would not return to the United States immediately after obtaining his coaching certificate. Lucas also learned a thing or two from the tactics he mainly studied.

.Missed

Oikawa's serve again, and the score has reached 3:1.

"You're right, Iizuna." Masahito Shunsuke licked his lips,

"The people in Qingcheng will exceed our expectations."

Iizuna faced his teammates. "You really have a clueless gaze." I don't know what to say

- he just wanted to say not to underestimate the opponent, but he didn't expect the opponent's serve to be so strong!

But... Iizuna stared at Oikawa who returned to the serving point.

He has indeed improved compared to a month ago.

"Ceiling serve? No, it's not time yet." Oikawa shook his head and continued to choose jump serve.

There was a thought in his mind, 'Wait a little longer...'

"I'll do it!"

Yuuto Ouchiyama, the libero, took two small steps forward and caught Oikawa's third serve.

Oikawa didn't waste any time and quickly returned to the position where he was holding the ball.

"They are in a bad position! Opportunity ball!"

Jing Dashan's first pass was disrupted, and the second passer Iizuna was not in a good position to lift the ball.

"Give it to me!" Dao Ben No. 1 stood in front of the net and gestured.

Touji noticed the other person's movements and pursed his lips - he was staring!

'Daoben's power is very strong, so there is no need to completely block him. Ueda's first pass is very stable, don't worry...' Tianhai's instructions yesterday were silently read by Touji.

"Just one touch...one touch!"

As soon as Touji landed on the ground, before turning around, he heard the ball being caught and the impact of his arm.

Not bad... not bad, I got it.

Zhonghe looked at the ball in his hand, his body stuck in the air when he jumped to the highest point.

Just as he was searching for an attacking position on the opposite side,

"Watch out! Someone..."

Oikawa's shout reached Zhonghe's ears from the right.

Faster than the shouts, the No. 8 deputy attacker, Futaki Akira, suddenly jumped in front of him.

"Bang!——"

A pair of big hands unreasonably dunked the ball from the net!

Coach Mizoguchi in the stands stood up from his stool eagerly, "Zhonghe, you were stopped?"

"What did we see!

Jingdashan's No. 8 deputy attacker completely blocked the attack of Qingcheng No. 3 , his height of 1.9 meters allowed him to effortlessly demonstrate his super-hand blocking!"

"When did he show up..." Zhonghe turned to look at Touji next to him.

Touji's expression was not very good, "He was ready to run in front of you as soon as the ball was in Oikawa's hand."

The three people in the front row looked at Idayama's conductor, setter Iizunabo.

The commentary also sounded at the same time: "Did Jing Dashan see through Qingcheng's attack?!"

Iizuna faced the three people's gazes with a smile,

"After all, we have started a few rounds, and I can see that your attack plan is not good either. It’s quite shocking, isn’t it?”
