"Good serve!"
"cover!"
"give it to me!"
There were shouts and shouts in the gymnasium, and everyone in the four teams competing at the same time was trying their best. Hinata was already tired and sat on a chair to recover. The sweat on his face was like rain, and he wiped it with a towel. After passing through it once, it will flow down your cheeks again.
In the three rounds, Hinata, who was running at full strength, could only last three rounds. This was different from the previous style of play where she had to conserve her physical strength. Every time she ran or jumped, Hinata used all her strength, sacrificing her physical strength in exchange for It is faster than before, and being faster means that the speed of the fast break is even more difficult for people to react.
At the same time, the joint attack with Hayato in the front row made it even more difficult for other teams. At Hayato's suggestion, Hinata also learned from others and began to use gestures to communicate with the setter. The first to learn were Hayato, Hinata, and Kageyama. decoy attack.
As long as these two people are in the front row, there is no problem for Kageyama to pass the ball to anyone. Once he is attracted by the fake move, the other person can directly attack and score.
This move is a conspiracy, but there are ways to deal with it. To catch the ball defensively in the backcourt, as long as you can stabilize the ball and save it, it is fine. However, Hayato and Hinata's balls are more powerful and the other is faster. If you want to catch the ball, you still have to catch it. It’s a great test of your paddling skills.
This morning, Karasuno continued to rotate the players. Coach Uyang also tried his best to get everyone to play. Seeing Tsukishima who was a little motivated on the court, he was also very pleased. Kageyama was also on the court. The feeling was particularly obvious. Tsukishima, who usually couldn't jump with feints to attack, actually jumped with him today, although the range of the jump was still not big enough.
Because of Hinata's activeness, he won three out of five games in the morning game. Although everyone is allowed to play, as the main player, he will still have more opportunities to play. After all, training the main force is the most important thing. This is also As a result, the amount of exercise of the main team members has increased a lot. From the fact that Hinata, a physical idiot, has no energy to do anything, it can be seen that running at full strength is really exhausting.
Hayato is also very tired. When he comes on the court, he always smashes the ball with all his strength. Although there is a high probability of scoring, it is also very energy-consuming. In the last game of the morning, we went to Yamaguchi to let him practice jumping floats. Although in the first half, He performed well, but still lost the game in the second half. After all, Yamaguchi only has one weapon now.
During the break, the managers carried several plates, and parents of students from Senran University specially sent watermelons to reward everyone.
Everyone sat in groups on the lawn outside with watermelons and ate leisurely. Hinata went to Nekoma's side and competed with Lev to see who could spit out watermelon seeds more. Of course, he was completely defeated.
Hayato got together with the third-year students and reported yesterday's incident on Tsukishima to the commander Daichi. Because Kuroo had visited Tsukishima before training this morning, it became Hayato's responsibility to report the team members' situation. Work.
After hearing the beginning of the matter, Dadi was not too surprised.
"Tsukishima said something similar before Kuroha joined the volleyball club."
Xu on the side added.
"Yeah, he said that his task is just to try his best to defend without making mistakes when Hinata moves to the back row."
At this time, Tanaka also came over and said that his sister mentioned that there was a player named Tsukishima in Karasuno during the Little Giants era. I wonder if this has something to do with it.
But Tsukishima doesn't talk much about himself, so no one knows whether he has an older brother.
Hayato knew that Tsukishima's expectations for his brother caused his brother to pretend to be the main candidate for his younger brother even though he was not the main candidate, and was eventually discovered by his younger brother.
In fact, Tsukishima was not ashamed because his brother was unbearable, but he blamed himself because he had put pressure on his brother and forced him to panic.
"Well, Tsukishima seems to be a little motivated today."
"Indeed, I can feel that he is different from yesterday."
Daichi and Asahi talked to each other one by one, and then looked at Hayato at the same time. Hayato just said that he had talked with Tsukishima yesterday, and what he said specifically was about what happened between the two of them. He couldn't tell everything. .
So today's change in Tsukishima should be due to Hayato's words yesterday.
"Ah, seniors, this is a trade secret."
After fooling around with a smile, Hayato didn't intend to say it openly. Fortunately, everyone understood it. At this time, Sugawara came over and asked everyone to throw the leftover melon rinds into garbage bags. After a group of people cleaned up, they continued to train.
When they went to wash their hands at the faucet, Dadi and Xu, who were behind the crowd, looked at each other.
"Dadi, Kuroyu solved another thing without us knowing. Is it decided?"
"Ah, with Kuroba's sense of responsibility, I feel relieved to hand over the positions of captain and general to him."
Because Karasuno had already played enough games in the morning, the afternoon was relatively leisurely. After another game, the defeated Karasuno also had to be punished by running uphill. After finishing the round trip, Asahi welcomed an unexpected guest. Tsukishima.
After first praising Yamaguchi's progress in jumping ball, Asahi turned to Tsukishima and indicated that he could say anything he wanted to ask.
"Senior Dongfeng, don't you feel uncomfortable? There is a strong sense of threat from those who come after you."
Hayato took over the starting position in a short time after joining the club. Although it was only a training match, everyone knew that Hayato must be the main selection. Compared with the competition between Tsukishima and Hinata, Asahi had already lost. One can imagine the mood.
"To be honest, it must be uncomfortable. Hayato is very strong and has the confidence of an ace. Judging from the position, Tsukishima and I are very similar. We both have a strong opponent."
Saying this with a wry smile, Xu felt a little uncomfortable.
"But, this year, with you first-year students and the addition of Kuroyu, it really gives us a lot of hope for the third-year students. Our dream is to be able to enter the country. The fallen heroes, the crows that cannot fly, These are the names we heard about the Karasuno Volleyball Club when we joined the club."
"We have worked hard before, and it is not enough to rely on us, but it is different now. With you, you bring hope. So Tsukishima, although I feel uncomfortable, I receive much more fighting spirit from you. I haven’t given up yet, whether it’s the main draw or the ace, I haven’t given up yet.”
Xu's side face seemed to be glowing under the setting sun, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was burning like a flame.
Seeing Asahi's look, the fire in Tsukishima's heart seemed to move with Yao. He subconsciously put his hand on his chest, felt his heartbeat, and thought of what Hayato said to him last night.
The radiance in Tsukishima's eyes gradually increased.
"Senior Dongfeng, thank you very much."
He bowed solemnly to Asahi, and Tsukishima's steps seemed much more relaxed when he left.
Xu, who was a little confused, looked at Tsukishima who was walking away, but Yamaguchi on the side understood.
"Senior Dongfeng, Yue seems to have cheered up. Please look forward to Yue's performance as he regains his fighting spirit."
Yamaguchi also bowed and chased Tsukishima.
"Haha, it looks like I have added another opponent to myself."
In the next two games, although Tsukishima was still reticent, everyone could see that he was more active in running, blocking, and attacking, and there was fighting spirit in his eyes.
Even Nika could see the change in Tsukishima.
"Kyoko-senpai, Tsukishima-kun..."
He reached out and patted Renhua on the shoulder.
"Another Karasuno chick is about to spread its wings and fly high."
The excited Renhua's cheeks turned red. To her, no matter who in the volleyball club made progress, it was always a joy.
"yes!"
The next day's training was also over, and Bokuto saw the opportunity and came over to catch Hayato.
"Heiyu, I promised you this morning, let's go quickly."
"Ah, Bokuto-senpai, wait a moment, I'll call someone again, Tsukishima~"
Seeing Tsukishima wiping his sweat, Hayato tried to call him. He also noticed Tsukishima's performance in the afternoon, so now he was ready to try to see if he could call him together.
Tsukishima saw Hayato and Bokuto, was silent for a while, and walked up to them.
"Seniors, do you also want to have individual practice today?"
Hearing Tsukishima's words, even Kuroo was alarmed. He came over and looked at Tsukishima with Bokuto, making fun of Tsukishima.
Tsukishima, who looked disgusted, almost had a seizure, but Hayato pushed his back.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry, let's go train."
"Hey~ Tsukishima, he went to train with Hayato-senpai and Owlaya's ace. I'm so envious. Damn it."
Hinata said enviously when she saw Hayato and the others leaving. Yamaguchi on the side explained that they had been training together yesterday.
"I'll go take a look around."
Hinata, who always moved her body before her brain, immediately ran out.
