Considering that there will be a second round of games tomorrow and Hayato was replaced in the second game, coach Uyang decided to let Asahi play. Asahi, who had already watched the game off the court, immediately promised the coach that he would play well when he heard this. Daichi and Sugawara also smiled and patted Asahi's back to tell him not to be nervous.
Since Hayato came to Karasuno, Asahi's state of being nervous as soon as he entered the competition field has improved a lot. Although it may make people think that he is not powerful enough, Asahi feels that it is not shameful to have support.
Kageyama, who came back from the infirmary, was watching the game on the court and was already gearing up to play. Hinata was also in high spirits after playing a game. Even Asahi was excited now. Daichi looked at them and smiled helplessly. I know that even if I tell them to play calmly now, these people won't listen.
Nodding to Hayato, who also discovered the status of several people, Daichi was ready to start supporting these people in the second game.
The lineup of the second game has not changed except for Asahi. Hinata, Tanaka, and Kageyama are in the front row, Daichi, Asahi, and Tsukishima are in the back row. The idiot duo who started shouting when they came on was interrupted by Tanaka, leaving them two Be quiet. Sugawara off the court also said that everyone should play calmly. On the opposite side, Jiaozenji saw Hayato being replaced.
"What do you mean, are you looking down on us if the ace is changed?"
"Judging from the condition, there is nothing wrong. Even the setter is back on the court."
"Isn't it obvious? We need to conserve our energy for the second round and don't take us seriously."
The Jōzenji team members who were chatting in low voices deduced the reason why Karasuno replaced Hayato and immediately became unconvinced. They had just won the first game and underestimated them. Everyone was holding back their anger and wanted to do this. The game defeated Karasuno so that Hayato, who was replaced, could see how powerful their Jozenji team was.
"It seems that our replacement of Kuroba-kun has aroused their fighting spirit even more."
Seeing the expressions of the Jōzenji team members, Mr. Takeda scratched his cheek with his fingers. It was indeed a bit provocative to replace Hayato, but Higashikata-san was also their ace player.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so there is no other way to do this kind of rotation.
"Well, they won't think so when they see Dongfeng's strength, Takeda-sensei."
Coach Uyang looked at Dongfeng on the field with a smile. As a coach, he spent more time with Dongfeng. Hayato joined later and did get the main selection due to his strength, but this does not mean that Dongfeng is not Their ace player.
"Is your ace gone, little one?"
"Because we are going to face Senior Xu in this round, and Senior Xu is also our trump card, so just watch with your eyes open."
Terushima, who was in front of the net, was chatting with Hinata across from him, and was a little puzzled after getting Asahi's ace answer.
"Isn't there only one ace player? Well, compared to those, now that Kuroba Hayato is out, let's have a good competition. The winner this time must be us."
Pointing at Hinata, Terushima challenged him. Hinata's super-speed attack in the last game also left a deep impression on Terushima. Since Hayato will not play, his opponent in this game will be Hinata.
"Although in 1v1, I still can't beat you with a mohawk."
Give people nicknames without any malice.
"Hey! Don't give people weird nicknames."
"But I don't think we can lose."
At the same time, Terushima was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Hinata's strong self-confidence made him not know what to say.
"Karatsuno~"
"Come on~"
The cheerleaders in the stands gave timely support, and Jiaozenji's team also uniformly knocked on the bottles in their hands to make sounds to cheer for Jiaozenji's players.
In the second game, Jōzenji served. A light chance ball flew to Karasuno's half. Tsukishima lifted the ball. Everyone stood back and formed a formation. Karasuno was only Kageyama in front of the net. Alone, Hinata, who had started early, took off in front of the net, and Kageyama also passed the ball to him.
However, this goal did not work well together due to the ups and downs in the mentality of the two.
"I told you to calm down and fight these two idiots."
Seeing this result, Sugawara cursed nervously.
Fortunately, Dadi was already prepared and immediately made up for it and moved the ball to the opposite side.
"Oh~ the reaction is so fast~"
Nika exclaimed when she saw Daichi's action of saving the ball, and the people from the Karasuno Town Association who also came to watch the game explained.
"Judging from the conditions of Hinata and Kageyama, the captain should have expected this goal."
"Hey~ So that's it~"
After receiving the explanation, Inhwa answered without taking her eyes off the playing field.
The ball reached Jozenji's half and he saved it. The libero padded the ball in the back row, and it just flew to the front row. Terushima, who took off hastily, smashed the ball directly in an irregular take-off posture. But who would have thought that Dadi had been waiting for this ball to catch it.
"What, you can catch this?!"
Terushima said as he looked at Daichi catching the ball.
The ball received by Daichi was once again attacked by Hinata and Kageyama, and the super speed attack directly scored.
"Okay! Score directly!"
"Nice~!"
Everyone in the substitute area shouted loudly, Karasuno scored the first point in the second game.
After successfully scoring, the two turned around and apologized to Dadi.
"sorry."
"Thank you, senior, for saving the scene."
Dadi smiled. "Although I have repeatedly reminded you to calm down, I think you will definitely mess up the first goal. Both of you are too excited." Dadi turned around and continued.
"Although I can't perform fancy attacks like yours, I will be your solid backing."
The Daichi who said these words stood in front of the [Strong and Strong] banner of Jōzenji Temple, and Terushima seemed to see his former commander in him.
"Okay, let's go and fight, you two."
"yes!"
"Hey~ Although it is simple, it is reliable."
Terushima thought silently as he looked at the land opposite.
After encouraging the two overly excited first years, Karasuno set up his formation again and the game resumed.
Although Asahi was excited when he was substituted, he still held his own. He spiked the ball from the back row and scored 1 point. Facing Asahi, the Jiaozenji players also felt it was difficult.
"The replacement main attacker is not weak either."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Karasuno to be hiding something."
The stable catching and commanding made it difficult for the already somewhat unstable Jozenji to deal with it. If the first game was a show for all Karasuno players, then the second game so far has been Daichi's personal showcase.
Under his command, Karasuno's steady playing style was an eye-opener for everyone present. The obstruction of the attack and the failure of the first game made the people at Jiaozenji begin to worry.
Although he was still so free and unrestrained when attacking, this time Jozenji made obviously more mistakes. He spiked the ball out of bounds, failed to make timely remedies, and even had players who wanted to catch the ball take shots at the same time and almost collided with each other.
When Karasuno reached 10 points, Jozenji only scored 5 points.
"It's really tricky with No. 10's quick attack."
"Let's not talk about No. 10. Their captain is really troublesome. Our offense will always be resolved by him."
Gradually, the players of Jōzenji couldn't be happy anymore. Terushima felt a little anxious when he felt the state of the others. He hadn't thought of a solution yet. At this time, Hinata sent a free throw and the ball hit the net directly.
Let Jiaozenji pick up a point in vain.
"sorry!"
"Don't care, don't care~"
Hinata apologized loudly and Daichi comforted him. Hayato on the bench covered his eyes when he saw Hinata's terrible serve. Attacking, running, and catching the ball. These short-term training can indeed improve, but As for the technique of serving, Hinata, an idiot, has never been good at it.
