"Score in a row!"
"Great!"
Qingcheng's team gained momentum because of Kyotani's smash, which shows how big the impact of just losing the first game was.
"Although it is very violent, this attack method is indeed very effective."
Facing Kyotani's powerful smash, Daichi also had a headache. Fortunately, Tsukishima and Nishitani exchanged, and the free man came on.
The trustworthy patron saint will not disappoint. Once again, Nishitani shouted Nishiya's name with a jump serve. Nishitani took the initiative, jumped to catch the ball, and successfully saved the ball.
"Chance ball!"
"Good pick up Nishitani!"
Sugawara and the others in Karasuno's substitute area cheered loudly. As the ball flew high, multiple people attacked at the same time, and everyone in Karasuno pressed forward.
"Block, block."
"careful!"
The advantage of simultaneous multi-player attacks is that anyone can be the one to spike the ball before the ball is passed out, Hinata in the left half, Tanaka in the right half, and Hayato in the backcourt.
Oikawa stared at Kageyama, and then discovered the direction of the pass from his movements.
"Hayato-senpai!"
"give it to me!"
Hayato, who was jumping from the back row, aimed at Oikawa and spiked the ball directly towards him.
"What a boy, so confident!"
Realizing that the volleyball was coming towards him, Oikawa rushed forward. The powerful spike from the back row hit Oikawa's arm and knocked him back a step. Although his posture was deformed, he still caught the ball, but this ball Instead of falling into Qingcheng's half, he flew back to Karasuno.
Tanaka picked up the ball.
"Hinata, the final blow."
"oh!"
Hinata took off again, but unable to keep up with Hinata's speed, Aoki could only watch as the volleyball hit his own court.
After regaining a point, Hinata happily high-fived Tanaka.
"Oh oh oh! Well done Hinata."
Xiaoyu happily cheered for Hinata in the stands. The doujin multiplayer attack just now was blocked. She thought Aoki would attack again, but she didn't expect the ball to fly directly back to Karasuno.
"Hayato just aimed the ball at Oikawa, right?"
Shimada, a member of the town club team wearing glasses, turned to look at Takigami, another member beside him.
"Is that really true? I thought the same thing when I saw his ball path."
After receiving a response, Shimada smiled bitterly.
"Our new junior is really awesome."
"Hey, what's going on?"
Saeko heard the conversation between the two and didn't understand why Hayato's ball made the two of them look like this just now.
"The ball Hayato just aimed at Qingcheng's setter Oikawa. Hayato, who is very confident in his smashing power, thinks that this ball will definitely disturb Oikawa. If Oikawa catches the ball, then he will not be able to pass the ball. Relying on others in Qingcheng to pass the ball will pose less of a threat to Karasuno."
"He didn't catch the ball well and flew back to Karasuno's side. Karasuno can attack again, and if he attacks again, Qingcheng's defense will be a step slower, so Hayato is aiming for the setter's smash. It’s really awesome.”
Shimada and Takinoue alternately explained, allowing Saeko to understand the meaning of Hayato's aim and smash.
"But is this kind of aiming and smashing the ball difficult?"
She had watched Karasuno train once when they were staying together before, and Saeko had seen Hayato's smash aimed at a certain opponent's player. She didn't know much about volleyball, but she thought that spike was very simple. After all, she made such a smash at that time. The attacking Hayato looked relaxed.
"Of course it's very difficult. You can't do this kind of smash without long-term practice."
"yes."
"Hey~ It looks like Hayato is very powerful."
As the two answered, a round had just been played on the court, and Oikawa scored another point with a wonderful back pass and Kyotani's powerful smash.
The fight between the veteran Aoki and the dark horse Karasuno in the second game was even more bloody. Even if Kyotani was not attacking, as long as he stepped forward, he would put pressure on Karasuno, and if he was attracted, he would be attracted by Oikawa. Seize the flaw.
Karasuno also fought back in the same way. Hayato's powerful smash was heavier than Kyotani's. As long as he participated in the attack, Qingcheng had to have people guard him, but he was able to guard against Hayato and Hinata. Even if someone is watching, Tanaka will be there in the end.
The abundance of attackers makes Karasuno extremely threatening offensively.
In addition to these, the two setters of both teams are able to skillfully use secondary attacks. The occasional assassin-style secondary attack in the fierce duel is also one of the highlights of the game.
At 12:11, with Karasuno temporarily taking the lead, coach Uyang chose to make a substitution.
Replacing Tsukishima, who was in the back row at this time, the person who came on the field was Sugawara, who was also the setter!
"Hey, why do you need to change?"
Saeko was a little puzzled by Karasuno's sudden substitution, but Shimada on the side explained that it was a tactical substitution.
"Generally speaking, substitutions are made when a player is in poor condition or injured, and then it is a decisive server or a rescue blocker. For example, it is not uncommon for Karasuno to rotate the main attacker to maintain the ace's strength before, but that kind of thing is Karasuno now has the luxury of choices that only ace can have."
"So this kind of substitution now is a tactical substitution. In order to change the tactics, that is to say, Sugawara will play tactics that can only be implemented if he is on the court. We are looking forward to watching."
After hearing this simple explanation, Saeko and the girls all made a sound of realization. Everyone also looked at the court expectantly, wondering what kind of tactics the new setter would play.
Because Tsukishima was in the serving position at this time, Sugawara, who was replaced, had to serve as a matter of course. Sugawara, who had quietly discussed with Kageyama after coming on the court, was full of confidence at this time.
"Sugawara-senpai, serve the ball well!"
Hinata's familiar sound of cheering came, and Hayato, Daichi, Tanaka and the others also added.
"Just take a look."
Smiling slightly, Sugawara felt the encouragement from his teammates and thought silently in his heart.
The moment the whistle sounded, Sugawara concentrated on sending the ball directly to the position he had already memorized. The falling serve floated in front of Kyotani, forcing Kyotani to move forward to save the ball.
But because he moved forward to save the ball, Kyotani's posture was affected and he knelt directly on the ground. Kyotani's posture was disrupted and he couldn't stand up to smash the ball, so he couldn't participate in the attack.
Qingcheng lost his strong attack and had to pass the ball to others, but this was directly blocked by Karasuno's block that had been prepared long ago.
"nice shot!"
"Well done, Sugawara-senpai!"
After delivering the serve he wanted, Sugawara also breathed a sigh of relief. He was clearly mentally prepared when he came on the court, but the moment he served the ball, he still felt nervous. Fortunately, there was no mistake in this shot.
After happily celebrating with his teammates, he returned to the serving area and Sugawara continued to serve.
The same trick was repeated, and the falling ball was delivered to Kyotani again. Kyotani had to save the ball and was hit again.
"Damn it, you look very cheerful, but when you hit the ball, you are very insidious, Mr. Hearty."
Oikawa realized Sugawara's purpose and complained in his mind.
Kyotani was restricted with his serve and could not participate in the attack. Aoki's offensive options were reduced by one person. To weaken the enemy was to strengthen himself. This tactic after Sugawara came on the field effectively weakened Aoki. Being a setter also means that Kageyama can now participate in the attack. Kageyama's physical fitness is considered to be among the top in Karasuno.
A beautiful straight ball passed the blocker and scored directly.
"Nice, Kageyama."
"Thank you."
Hinata on the side also reluctantly praised him, and had to admit that Kageyama's spike was also very beautiful when he participated in the attack.
