Karasuno, who has a double ace lineup, currently has Hinata, Asahi, and Kageyama in the front row, and Tsukishima, Daichi, and Hayato in the back row. Because Kazukunan chose to serve first in the first game, it was switched to Karasuno's side in the second game. Hayato in the back row took the volleyball and launched a jump serve without hesitation. Although Kazukunan's players reacted, the ball hit him. I still couldn't pick it up effectively in my hand, and it popped out of bounds.
"Electromagnetic gun!"
Hinata shouted out Hayato's name energetically. It didn't feel like the name was very good at all. The audience also knew from previous games that teammates would shout like this when Karasuno No. 13 jumps to serve. For this kind of second-class ceremony, Some people think the naming method is too middle-of-the-road, while others just accept it.
"Damn it, that guy still has so much energy after a game. His power has not weakened at all."
Rubbing his arms, the player with Kunan said with some palpitations. I thought that after a game, I had exhausted a lot of physical strength, and the power of No. 13's serve would drop a lot, but Hayato showed them with his strength that his serve still has a lot of power.
After receiving the volleyball, the crowd in the stands who loved to join in the fun also shouted loudly for another electromagnetic launcher on the 13th. Hearing the voices of the audience, Hayato also smiled. Perhaps it was a change in mentality. I quite like the method.
"Since the audience asked for it, let's play another ball."
Serving again, the players with Kunan were all scattered, trying to expand the defensive range to catch Hayato's serve. The power of the jump serve made the player who received the ball unsteady and took a step back, but the ball was still blocked. After a difficult catch, the libero went to chase the ball and save it, but the ball flew back to Karasuno's half.
Others shouted to block the net, and Kunan and I quickly stepped forward to block the net, but now there was not only Hinata in front of the net, Karasuno's other ace was already waiting there.
Shouting "Give me the ball," Asahi jumped high into the air and Kageyama passed the ball to him.
Seeing Xu's jumping posture, Dadi thought proudly in the backcourt. If you want to stop Xu, two people are not enough. You have to find another iron wall. Asahi relied on his own strength to smash the ball directly. He knocked the blocker's hand back and the ball flew out.
Completely unable to catch up with the flying ball, Hejiunan lost another point and the batter went out of bounds.
"OK!"
Xu returned to the court and scored his first point. It was still this kind of violent smash. He clenched his fists and yelled and looked even more oppressive. The spectators in the stands were also frightened by his shouts.
"Oh, that's awesome. This No. 3 is not just a substitute."
"I heard that before No. 13 joined Karasuno, No. 3 had always been Karasuno's trump card."
The discussion from the people around reached Renhua, and Renhua was a little angry for Xu. Why did Hayato-senpai have always been the ace before joining, and Dongfeng-senpai is also the ace now.
Saeko didn't care. She put her hand to her mouth and cheered for Asahi loudly. It could be seen that Asahi's smash after coming on the court was very suitable for Saeko. In volleyball, the smash is the most exciting thing that the audience can see intuitively. attack.
Although it is still only 2:0, Karasuno puts more pressure on Wakunan than in the previous game. The combination of Hayato's powerful jump serve in the back row and Asahi's violent smash in the front row is not a simple addition, but Come upon me with the power of multiplication.
Even Nakajima, the leader of Wakunan who has always maintained a good attitude, is a little confused now. How can he be so strong? Fortunately, the support from his family in the stands gave him encouragement.
After cheering up again, Nakajima comforted the players that they must catch the next ball.
The whistle sounded, and Hayato's serve continued. Nakajima, who had realized his goal, used all his strength to pass the ball. The pass without any mistakes made him excited. He shouted for the opportunity ball, and he and Kunan started to attack.
The point was obtained with difficulty through a time difference and fast break, finally interrupting Karasuno's rhythm in time. Nakajima celebrated happily with the players, but Hayato and the others on the opposite side were not anxious because their attack was blocked. This was just start.
Dadi took the initiative to comfort everyone not to worry, but after he said this, he realized that his worries were a little unnecessary. There was no panic on the faces of the other people. Even Xu, whose mentality was easy to fluctuate, looked full of fighting spirit today. Looks full.
"Hey, it seems I'm worried about you more than necessary."
Smiling with relief, Daichi whispered to himself, then he shouted loudly to recover a ball, and the others also responded to him.
Unlike an offensive team like Jōzenji, Kunan's offense is no longer enough for Karasuno. Especially after Asahi came on the field and was assigned offensive tasks, Hayato was able to concentrate on catching the ball, which allowed He Jiunan's attack reached a stalemate.
Many balls that clearly looked like they could score would always be replaced by someone when they flew to Karasuno's back row.
This resulted in Kakunan having to attack more aggressively in order to score a point. Even if he scored a point, he had to concentrate on resisting Karasuno's counterattack. If he wasn't careful, the ferocious crows would peck at him.
10:6
Karasuno Jean and Kunan, who took the lead to reach 10 points, had to choose a timeout to interrupt Karasuno's offensive rhythm.
The already sweaty leader Nakajima wiped his face with a towel and drank a lot of water. Under the attack of Karasuno's double aces, he and other team members had to run and catch the ball more frequently to deal with it. , coupled with the mental impact caused by the backwardness, everyone's physical exertion is very high under the double pressure.
But everyone's eyes have not lost the sparkle. Everyone actively participated in the discussion, thinking about how to deal with Karasuno's offense. Coach Kunan saw everyone's state and didn't say much. The players haven't given up yet, so let it go. Get it done.
Hayato's side also took the time to rest after the timeout. Wakunan's side consumed a lot of energy, and Karasuno's side was not small either. Coach Wuyang still told everyone not to relax their vigilance, but to keep an eye on the opponent's leader and spike the ball at the opponent's side. Try to touch the ball instead of blocking it to prevent the opponent from hitting the ball out of bounds.
After the timeout, Hayato handed the towel to Kiyoko and glanced at Wakunan again, feeling a little sorry in his heart. After Karasuno, who was not around, came off the field, relying on Yuanxia, they were able to persevere, which was enough to prove that they could hold on. He Kunan's strength is very strong, and they reached the quarterfinals in the trials, but now that Hayato has joined, the overall strength of the two teams is no longer equal. He Kunan has tried his best to reach this situation.
But sorry, there is only one team that can represent Miyagi Prefecture across the country, and that is Karasuno. There are stronger enemies waiting for them, so Hayato and the others cannot stop here.
Let Karasuno use its full strength to send Wakunan away.
Silently saying sorry to the Kunan team members in his heart, Hayato followed his teammates back to the stadium.
Although Wakunan's voice was still loud, the audience felt that the situation was over and it was obvious that Karasuno, who was flying high, won the game.
Nakajima's family members in the stands were still cheering for Hekunan loudly.
The defensive pressure caused by Hayato and Asahi, who were rotated to the front row, after taking off at the same time, cannot be ignored by anyone. Coupled with Kageyama, a setter who is good at finding the opponent's defensive weaknesses, the trio's attack was unstoppable for a while. Everyone in Hejiunan tried their best to catch the ball, but the scores continued to increase.
20:15
Karasuno reached 20 points, and at this time, Yamaguchi, who had been called by Coach Uyang to prepare, took his number plate and was ready to play.
