"It's really, really comfortable to launch an attack from the right half-court line and get back the ball right away and immediately launch a jump serve attack."
Hayato, who was standing at the serving position and communicating with his teammates, rotated the volleyball in his hand clockwise, as if he was looking for the feel. Seeing his calm expression, Oikawa felt a headache and complained in his mind.
If Qingcheng cannot stop this ball, Karasuno will be able to get the rhythm, and it will be more difficult to recover the score.
Before Oikawa could cheer everyone up, Iwaizumi took the lead and shouted to let the horses come over.
"It seems that my appearance is no longer needed."
A trustworthy old partner, a team that took three years to train, Oikawa was full of confidence at this time.
"Good serve!"
"Spread your wings and fly! 'Ominous Bird'!"
The last sentence was shouted by Saeko in the stands. Being called a nickname so loudly made Hayato feel a little embarrassed, but those unnecessary emotions disappeared after the referee blew the whistle.
The feeling of being targeted by a predator once again made the Qingcheng players on the field tense up.
The ball was thrown high, and with a perfect jumping movement, Hayato's entire body sent the volleyball out like a bow!
"Don't underestimate Qingcheng!"
At the critical moment, Iwaizumi rushed out and caught the ball. He used his tempered body to catch Hayato's powerful serve and maintained his posture by relying on the muscles of his waist and abdomen, without even being hit back.
"Ah, I was caught."
Karasuno's substitute Sugawara and others made a sound of regret together. Originally, Hayato was changed to the serving position. Everyone thought that they could score another point, but they did not expect that after two games of confrontation, Qingcheng gradually adapted to Hayato. Of course, there is another very important reason for serving. Hayato, who was physically exhausted after two games, could not control every ball perfectly.
In fact, when the ball was first hit, the route was a little off. Hayato had already felt it when he spiked the ball. After he stood firm, he ran back to the back row to prepare for defense without even looking. Qingcheng is not a weakling. Team, their jump serve is not always able to score.
The only one in the front row is Tsukishima blocking, so as long as he is a step slower, the path Qingcheng can choose to attack will be greatly broadened. An ordinary diagonal smash will get rid of Tsukishima's block. But Karasuno allowed Tsukishima to block the attack alone, and it was not without other preparations.
Tanaka took the ball in a lunge and sent it out.
"Hinata, cover."
"Attack, attack!"
After successfully getting the opportunity ball, Hayato, Daichi, and Tanaka were all shouting actively on the court, while Kageyama was thinking about the offensive route.
Hinata, who jumped from the left half, received the ball from Kageyama and planned to dunk down, but the double blocker followed immediately.
"hateful!"
The moment Hinata knew that her spike would be blocked, she changed her spike to a lob. Oikawa seemed to have guessed that Hinata would choose to drop the ball, so he appeared at the position where the ball fell and gently raised the ball.
The volleyball fell right above the net, directly into Karasuno's half.
"Huh~ You're so lucky."
Even after discovering Hinata's attack, Oikawa's reluctant catching posture still made Oikawa sweat. When the volleyball flew above the net, he thought the ball would fall back to Qingcheng, but he didn't expect that the god of luck would still be there. Got him.
"Feel sorry!"
"Don't worry, move on to the next ball!"
The offensive intention was seen through, and Hinata apologized regretfully. Daichi comforted him. There was nothing he could do about the ball just now. Oikawa's reaction was too fast, and even if he saved the ball, no one thought of directly holding the ball. Go over the net instead of launching a spike attack.
Although they lost one point, Karasuno was still working hard to cheer for several people on the field. In order to focus on defense, Daichi gave up the multi-person attack strategy at the same time and took on the defensive responsibilities with Hayato and Tanaka in the back row. Tsukishima's single block in the front row interfered with the smashing route of Aoki's attacker, making it easier for Karasuno's back row to catch the ball.
After neutralizing Qingcheng's attack and shouting "Leave it to me," Hayato took a few steps back and prepared to run for a rear-row attack. Hinata also shouted "Leave it to me" and planned to launch a super speed attack.
Karasuno's strongest offensive point made a sound at the same time, which was very confusing for Qingcheng. When the ball was not passed, no one knew who would actually spike the ball.
Facing Hinata who was taking off in the left half, Kageyama, who was standing sideways in front of the net, changed his posture the moment he passed the ball forward, and the pass from behind was accurately delivered to Hayato in the back row.
Qingcheng's block, which was deceived by Kageyama's movement to intercept Hinata, was immediately eliminated. Without the block, Hayato in the back row spotted an unguarded gap and spiked the ball directly.
With no one touching the ball, Karasuno scored another point. Oikawa, who had just relied on his own skills to win a point, was immediately countered by Kageyama. This wonderful behind-the-back pass also made the present exciting again.
"This is so amazing, I thought the ball was going to No. 10."
"Yeah, he made all the moves to pass the ball forward."
"The most important thing is the speed and accuracy of passing the ball from behind. No. 13, who jumped up in the back row, didn't even change his posture. He just swung his arm and smashed the ball to match."
A knowledgeable spectator explained to his friends how exquisite the second pass was.
The two members of the Karasuno Town Council in the stands also explained it to the women's support team. They played such a wonderful cooperation. How could there be no support? So under the leadership of Xiaoyu, the girls shouted neat slogans to cheer for Kageyama. . Even Saeko and Nika were given a flower ball each. In the Karasuno support area, five beautiful girls were cheering for them. Although one of them was already a college student, she could still be counted among the girls.
"Tobio, that's a good pass."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior."
Hayato hugged Kageyama's shoulders and praised him happily, but Kageyama had a dull look on his face, as if he was saying that the goal he just scored was just his daily level and not worth mentioning.
He also touched palms with Hinata who came over. If Hinata hadn't used his strongest decoy ability just now, the block would have been deceived, and Hayato wouldn't have been able to dunk the ball so smoothly.
"Same goes for Xiangyang, nice bait fight."
"Hehe~Thank you very much!"
Just as everyone was celebrating, the sound of cheering for Kageyama came from the stands. Turning his attention, five beautiful girls cheered his name, which made Kageyama feel a little carried away.
Of course, beautiful girls are secondary, being praised is Kageyama's focus. But others didn't think so. Tanaka came over enviously and hinted to Kageyama to pass more penalty kicks to him, and Nishitani on the bench couldn't help but want to play.
"Well, we are all high school students in their prime."
Hayato, who was pretending to be mature, said this and was patted on the back by Daichi with a smile.
"You are also a young man in the second year of high school. Stop acting like an old man."
The relaxed atmosphere on the field also affected Coach Wuyang and the others.
"It seems like we don't need to worry anymore, everyone seems to be doing well."
"Yes, Wu Yangjun, their current state is much better than the last game. The atmosphere was very tense when they were chased to a draw, but we can't be careless. Qingcheng on the opposite side is also in good shape. "
Takeda-sensei glanced at the opposite side. Qingcheng's side did not lose their position because of this ball. They were still spreading out calmly, preparing to face Karasuno's attack.
