Returning to the substitute area, Yamaguchi was still a little unwilling. He wanted to stay on the court longer and fight with others, but he lost the right to serve. His current skills were not enough. Therefore, Yamaguchi stood off the court. I silently made up my mind to train harder and win the right to stand with everyone.
Others didn't think so much. Sugawara and Hinata hugged Yamaguchi happily, shook his shoulders, and even reached out to rub his hair. Everyone's unstinting praise made Yamaguchi happy.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, Yamaguchi, you scored 4 points in a row."
"One of them was stopped by Senior Dongfeng and the others."
Embarrassingly explaining that the scores were not all obtained by himself, how could anyone care about this? Sugawara said that he would also take care of you in the future, Yamaguchi, with a hint of melancholy in his tone. He noticed that his senior looked different from usual. Yamaguchi was stunned for a moment, and then He then remembered that this was the last game for the third-year seniors. When they retired, only the first and second years would be left in the volleyball club. The second-year students were centered on Hayato Nishitani. Although they were capable, they were still not enough.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, Karasuno should be mainly composed of first-year students. Thinking of this, Yamaguchi also nodded seriously.
"Leave it to me, Sugawara-senpai, but Hinata and the others are much better than me."
"Don't think so, Yamaguchi, your performance today is not weak, you can be more confident."
The discussion in the substitute area could not be heard on the court, because facing this one point that decided the winner, the two teams were now tensed to the maximum. With this point, Karasuno would advance to the top four and could not win. At this point, He Jiunan still has hope.
But for the two teams, the pressure is really not comparable. At 24:15, He Kunan has to chase at least 9 points in a row to drag the game into a draw. However, this is not a game with a huge difference in strength. Karasuno is even stronger in terms of overall strength. and Jiunan.
So He Jiunan is really desperate now and can only fight with his back to the wall.
"Get the ball!"
"oh!"
Wakunan's leader, Nakajima, shouted to cheer for his teammates, and others shouted back. Then Nakajima threw the ball up and chose a powerful jump serve without hesitation. He didn't think about what would happen if the ball went out of bounds. His full attack was enough to show his attitude.
Nervously holding the notebook in her hand, Jiezi watched the ball fly to Karasuno's back row. Being able to get this point is equally important to Karasuno. It will advance to the top four with a big advantage, and it can inject some energy into Karasuno. After taking a shot in the arm, when they face Qingcheng or Dateko, the mentality of the team members will be very different from before.
That is to say, as the saying goes, the touch is coming, but the attack is blocked, which is not good news. Although Jiezi does not think that Jiunan and Jiunan can chase 9 points in a row, it may be better to end the game as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too harmful to the heart. Not friendly anymore.
Daichi called out Nishitani's name as usual at this time. Karasuno's patron saint was well-deserved. Nishitani caught the ball with a standard lunge and raised the ball upright.
"Chance ball!!!"
Everyone in the stands, bench area, coaching bench, and everyone in Karasuno shouted with anticipation, hoping that this goal would determine the outcome.
Kageyama quickly stood in the passing position, with everyone except Nishitani running, and multiple people attacking at the same time.
Both ace players shouted, "Give me the ball." This kind of pressure made He Jiunan's team members feel tortured. All the pressure accumulated before gathered at this moment, like the last straw that broke the camel's back. He Jiunan's There is a problem with judgment.
The player who jumped to block prematurely did not notice the position of the ball. Everyone even thought that Kageyama would pass the ball to one of the two aces. At this moment, Kageyama lightly hooked the ball and launched his own attack.
The Hekunan players who were too late to save the ball flew over and could only watch the ball fall to the ground. They remained lying on the ground and looked up at Kageyama unwillingly, but Kageyama remained calm as always. Like a king sitting on the throne.
"Okay! We win!"
The whistle sounded, and there was a huge cheer in the stadium. Whether it was the audience or Karasuno people, everyone was applauding this wonderful goal.
The first one to rush over was Hayato. He hooked Kageyama's neck and kept rubbing his hair with his hands. Then Nishitani jumped directly onto Kageyama's back, then Asahi, Daichi, and Tsukishima. Came over and just said good shot from a distance.
As for He Jiunan, who lost the game, some lowered their heads, and some put their hands on their knees and let the sweat fall down their cheeks. Those who came to save the ball also got up silently. Their game was over.
The cruelty of competitive sports is like this. If there is a winner, there will be a loser. Both sides will end up separately. Except for Nakajima, everyone else with Kunan could not hold back tears and started to cry. After walking under the banner, Nakajima led everyone to thank the people in the stands. Nakajima's father also raised his head and applauded them.
The same goes for Karasuno, Saeko was waving her arms excitedly.
"Well done, Karasuno, Ryu. Don't be sad that you didn't get a chance to perform in the second round."
"Long-winded!"
Tanaka said angrily, causing others to laugh.
Nika also looked at Yamaguchi in the field.
"Yamaguchi-kun, your performance today is amazing!" After saying that, he gave Yamaguchi a thumbs up, which made the teasing group headed by Hayato laugh evilly, and came to him and patted Yamaguchi's back with his hand.
"Did you hear that you are so handsome today?"
"Senior, don't tease me."
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Yamaguchi smiled shyly and responded to Nika in a small way. Turning his attention to his master, Shimada couldn't stop crying after Karasuno won. When Yamaguchi looked over, he hurriedly wiped it away.
"Yamaguchi, you did a great job."
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping away his tears, Shimada sniffed and praised Yamaguchi. Being praised by the master, Yamaguchi couldn't hold it back, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he bowed at a standard 90 degrees, Yamaguchi shouted loudly.
"Thank you very much for your cultivation!"
Xiaoyu and the others first greeted Hayato to celebrate Karasuno's victory, and then greeted the seniors. Everyone was also very grateful to the cheerleaders who spontaneously came to cheer for Karasuno.
Everyone bowed together to thank, and then everyone had to stand on the sideline to thank the other team. After a set of procedures, Karasuno could go to rest first and then watch the game between Aoki and Dateko, and with Kunan, their journey That's it for now.
Outside the Sendai Gymnasium, General Nakajima, who was holding back his tears, squatted on the steps. Next to him stood the pineapple head Kawatari.
"I made too many mistakes in my performance in the second game. After losing 20 points to them, I didn't handle the server well. I'm sorry..."
Kawawa wanted to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything, so he had to listen to Nakajima talking to himself silently.
"Really, I really want to keep fighting..."
Before he finished speaking, tears fell down his cheeks and fell to the ground. In the cold autumn, General Hejiunan, who had always been steady, was crying like a child, helpless and helpless. Kawadu patted his shoulder with red eyes, The two of them never spoke again.
After the game, Karasuno went to the toilet and sprayed painkillers. Everyone prepared in an orderly manner. At the same time, they took out the prepared food to replenish energy from their bags. A group of people ran to Qingcheng in a mighty manner. I found a seat where I was playing against Datego and sat down to watch the game.
The foursome of Single Cell and High Emotions ate the food in their hands, including but not limited to bananas, energy jelly, and chocolate bars. Do you worry that these guys will not choke? Sugawara warned them not to eat so much that they would overstuff themselves. After all, what they have to face next is a stronger team.
"So, who will be our next opponent?"
Daichi said to himself as he looked at the playing field with full concentration.
