Chapter 71

After learning that the trainer he admired was Ushijima’s father,

Iwaizumi felt very awkward every time he talked to Ushijima. His expression was even more coquettish.

Oikawa shouted, "Xiaoyan must have been taken away! This is not Xiaoyan!"

Fortunately, the upcoming "assessment" successfully attracted the attention of all the contestants.

"The assessment is based on competition between groups. Based on the assessment results, it will be decided whether the players will continue to stay in the youth training camp or form a team and officially become club members."

The annual selection of the youth training is a major event, which determines whether the club The key to being able to absorb fresh blood.

So it has always been head coach Eleanor.

"As for the players who come to the summer camp, your performance in this game will determine whether you can qualify for the elite camp."

Eleanor turned his attention to Tianhai and the others.

"I hope everyone can achieve a result that they are satisfied with."

Before the words fell, the players on the field couldn't restrain their excitement and whispered among themselves

- if you miss this opportunity, you will only be recruited by the coach if you perform exceptionally well in the next year. Go, send it to the team.

Among the discussions, there were also several exchanges of low-volume whispers.

"Wapole was brought to the coaching room by the coach to talk to him two days ago, right? He is not the main candidate. Did he get some information?"

"It's not clear. If the coach had a plan to choose him, why would he choose him now? Looking for him?"

"But the other people who were looked for are quite strong. If it is really..."

They are teammates in the same group as Walpole and are also substitutes in Group A.

——Although to ensure fairness, substitutes also have the opportunity to play.

But if there is a substitute who is favored by the coach, they worry that their chances will become less.

Players are ultimately competitive before becoming eventual teammates.

With this mentality, several people invariably became a little alienated from Walpole.

Walpole quickly noticed changes in his teammates.

Although he didn't understand why the head coach suddenly found him and asked questions about his game ideas.

But he could realize that this was one of the few opportunities that belonged to him.

As for the changes in his teammates, he neither stepped forward to please them nor felt sad and fearful, as if he had been abandoned by the world.

Just practice serving, blocking, and smashing in an ordinary way.

His partner was also rejected by other substitutes, and turned into Ushijima Wakali who had the same attitude towards him as usual.

.In

the evening, the training time was over

. "Thank you very much Ushijima-kun for spiking the ball and practicing catching the ball with me." Walpole took out some energy bars from his backpack and said,

"I bought this before. If you don't mind it, Ushijima-kun, please accept it." ."

Ushijima hurriedly glanced at the snacks in his hand, thinking about the snacks that Tianhai made in the dormitory at night, and he couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory in the next second.

"It's nothing, I was planning to practice spiking in the afternoon."

He walked towards the door of the training hall, where Tendo was waiting for him.

Walpole nodded understandingly.

He understands, he understands everything!

This must be the most favorite Asian humble refusal, followed by a tug-of-war before the other party can successfully accept the gift of thanks.

Walpole, who specially searched for information on the Internet, tugged on his sleeves, geared up, and prepared himself mentally.

Little did he know, what he found was Ushijima who was the least polite person.

...

"So this is the reason why you followed Ushijima?" Oikawa put his hands on his hips and carefully looked at Bovor who came to the dormitory restaurant with Ushijima.

Walpole also didn't expect to bump into someone else eating. Wasn't it obvious that he was trying to get a meal?

He blushed at Oikawa's squinted eyes to guard against thieves, and opened his mouth, wanting to say:

"In that case, I won't bother you."

But as he smelled the aroma of food in the air, his stomach growled, and the words continued. He turned around and changed his words.

"It's here..."

Under Oikawa's disbelieving gaze, Walpole took the chopsticks and rice handed over by Tianhai and sat in front of the table.

Walpole: I'm sorry, but this smells so good. I'm so hungry...

Amy and Zevsoya, who are also foodies, sat down obediently and waited for Tianhai to take a seat.

When the food is served, the strong aroma fills your nostrils. Excited by the spicy and spicy aroma, everyone's expressions went numb.

After picking up a large piece of mapo tofu and quickly putting a large spoonful of rice into his mouth, Iwaizumi squinted his eyes in enjoyment

- this bite completely allowed his tongue to come out of the shadow of white water chicken breast.

Even the awkwardness of sitting face to face with Ushijima has been alleviated a lot.

Even if he has eaten Tianhai’s food many times, what’s more, what about Bovor and Amy, who are Dutch?

It was just that they were not proficient in using chopsticks for the first time. The three people who were restricted by the speed could not catch the remaining chopsticks that flew out of the afterimage. In the end, they were so anxious that they went to get the spoons.

But this time, the plate was even more empty.

The nine people had exhausted their energy during the day, and when it was time to replenish their energy, they showed no mercy and wiped out the dishes on the plate like a wind and a dragon.

"Surprisingly... I finished eating within ten minutes."

Tianhai looked at the clock on the wall and was shocked by the appetite of these high school students.

.It

was still early, everyone was rubbing their stomachs and talking about the club.

Walpole felt strange when he thought about his encounter in Group A today,

"The coach had never talked to me before. But just before the assessment, he came to me and said he saw my potential and was looking forward to my performance. "

The people present are all players who have been selected from the summer camp or have been definitely selected, and he has nothing to hide.

"Maybe I've noticed you before. Let's encourage you before the assessment." As a fellow youth training player, Zephyrsoya can understand his mood.

"So you have to perform well."

Iwaizumi glanced at Tianhai with a little curiosity

- he remembered that Tianhai once went to the coaching room and gave something to the opponent. Could it be related to this?

In response, Tianhai shook his head slightly, signaling him to be quiet.

Iwaizumi understood that it was probably Tianhai who did it.

...

The topic circled around and returned to Tianhai and the others.

"So you are only in your second year of high school?" Walpole was shocked. Although these people have green faces, they should not be old.

But he's only a sophomore in high school?

Amy sighed: "No wonder he is so lively."

The youngest of the three club players present was 21, four or five years older than everyone else.

Tianhai, who was 20 years old among teenagers of sixteen or seventeen, looked away

- as if he was also a sophomore in high school. If we were strictly counting age, he would be the oldest among the nine.

"That's right! We have Harutaka next!" Mutu is looking forward to the upcoming qualifiers. "With Akei this time, we will win the championship!"

The rest of the people continued to chat, Mutu dragged him Tianhai praised Xiaogu's new setter in various ways.

What he meant was that he wanted Tianhai to go to Xiaogu to meet Chiwei.

"Master! Come on, come on! Not long ago, you went to see those cats in Yinju!"

"How did you know that I had been to Yinju?"

Tianhai was surprised, and Mutu knew that it meant...

"It's not just me, the whole Xiaogu knows it. Coach Anlu also knows it!!" Mutu's words gave Tianhai a heavy blow.

Since you can't run away, it's better to arrange the time as soon as possible.

"After we go back, we will stay with Inarizaki. Then it will be time for the Spring High Qualifiers. How about waiting until the end of the qualifying round?"

Tianhai discussed the time with Bokuto, and then realized that something was wrong - Bokuto should not understand The progress of the Xiaogu training match.

He sent a message to Coach Irihata and Coach Anji, asking if Qingcheng could participate in the Owl Valley League’s camp before October.

The conversation between Bokuto and Bokuto was in Japanese, and only Amy understood the word "master".

This blond man with green eyes was obviously different from the other five in appearance and volleyball skills, and Amy could also detect something.

When it was time to rest, everyone reluctantly returned to their respective rooms from the dormitory restaurant

- by the end of the chat, it had turned into a volleyball skills exchange meeting. Everyone just wanted to conjure up a volleyball and make gestures on the spot.

"Good night, good night, come on for the assessment the day after tomorrow!"

"Come on!"

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

The sparks brought by the "assessment" bomb on the club training ground There is still residual warmth.

"The assessment is tomorrow. Let's practice diving today."

"Okay, I want to practice spiking. After I practice diving, you can practice spiking with me!"

"Is there any blocking coming?"

During free practice The field was in chaos.

Assessments and competitions are different. Competitions only look at the team's performance, while assessments look at the role they play in the team.

Instead of judging based on victory or defeat, the players will pay more attention to their performance on the field.

Not to mention being the one who leads the whole team, he can’t be the one holding back...

Tianhai discussed with Coach Broad that he would only play one game during the game, and let Noyce do the rest. Right on the field.

"He has been training very hard recently, and he is close to the strength of the regular selection. He is also very familiar with cooperating with his teammates."

He looked serious, with stubbornness in his eyes, "I shouldn't have come to the team as a player, but I can come and watch The student has already violated the regulations.

This is an opportunity for youth training students, and I don’t want to let this opportunity go to waste because of me.”

Even though Brod hesitated to reject it, Tianhai insisted on his point of view and continued to apply.

In the end, he successfully persuaded Broad with the sentence "It's unfair for my opponent to play"

- as long as Tianhai is serious, Group D will win in all likelihood. And if Tianhai was let off the court, Brod couldn't say such a thing.

Fortunately, there were also talents like this in previous years, who were directly admitted because their talents were too strong and disrupted the balance of the game. The team members won't say much.

"Thank you, coach. I'll go watch the students train first." Tianhai stood on the second floor of the gymnasium and looked down.

......

Group C

"Iwaizumi!"

"Here I come!" Iwaizumi jumped from the ground. His height is close to 184cm, and his jumping height is about 330cm.

330cm is not considered high in the youth training camp, and is even a bit low. Once you add his power, it becomes a heavy artillery that scares your opponents.

Iwaizumi, who originally lacked attack power due to his lack of skills and height, was called "

Left and Right Cannon" by the training camp players after a year of training.

This nickname made Oikawa laugh for a full twenty minutes. It was eventually discovered that the message came from Amy.

"Bang!!!"

The ball hit the ground and bounced up to a height of six meters, almost at eye level with Tianhai.

"Hiss..." The arms of the onlookers went cold, as if they heard the wailing of their own ulna and radius bones.

Not missing the shivers of the contestants below, Tianhai nodded in approval and thought of a new idea.

——In the future, before Harutaka warms up, Iwaizumi can be asked to smash the ball with all his strength to destroy the opponent's desire to catch the ball.

He decided to name this method

[Intimidation Smash]
