Qingcheng took back the right to serve after just two serves on the court. The person who must have regretted the most was Yamaguchi himself. He bit his lip and looked at the opponent unwillingly. It was obvious that he had made no mistakes in his performance. The ball is also the best ball currently, but the biggest weakness of Yamaguchi's jump ball is that the ball speed is not fast enough. This is what happens when the ball is caught early.
This also proves how fast Qingcheng can respond and how powerful their power is when the game enters the most critical moment. But even if they understand this kind of thing, they are still unwilling to do so.
Hayato silently patted Yamaguchi's shoulder. Just watch Yamaguchi raise his head and look at himself.
"Yes...I'm sorry, Hayato-senpai."
"You've done a great job, Azhong."
After hearing this, Yamaguchi still couldn't hold back and shed tears. He obviously wanted to use floating balls to help the team win the game, but in fact he only hit two goals at the end of the game and was about to be replaced. The huge gap made it impossible for him to control his emotions.
If the game was over at this time, everyone would come over to comfort Yamaguchi first, but the game would continue. Under everyone's gaze, Hinata and Yamaguchi exchanged number plates.
"Ah, what a pity. We were just one goal away. The deciding server was replaced just after he came up."
"I hope this won't cast a shadow on him. Hey, Qingcheng really shouldn't be underestimated."
"Yes, the second ball was obviously very good, but it was still caught, and the opponent's attacker still aimed at him to smash the ball. He lost points due to not catching it. This must be very frustrating for him."
The audience standing on Karasuno's side saw Yamaguchi being replaced, and their words were full of sympathy for him.
Saeko and the others in the stands were also dejected. They thought that Yamaguchi would be replaced and the game would end directly with his floating ball. However, Qingcheng still defended and got a point from Yamaguchi.
"Yamaguchi seems to be crying."
Xiaoyu, who had good eyesight, saw Yamaguchi, who had been replaced, wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand in the substitute area. Sugawara beside him was comforting him, which made Xiaoyu feel sad.
"I thought I could help the team end the game, but he was replaced after just two goals. It's normal for him to cry."
Rizhe, who had blue hair and ponytail, said calmly. Just when Yuxi was about to persuade her not to say that, he saw that Rizhe, who usually didn't have much expression on his face, had a trace of sympathy on his face at the moment. It looked like Rizhe had a mouth. What he said above is very rational, but that’s not entirely what he thinks in his heart.
"It's so bad here in Karasuno. The fatal substitution was solved by Qingcheng. Everyone must be anxious now, but the more anxious you are at this time, the easier it is to make mistakes."
Nervously gripping the railing, Shimada, wearing glasses, said worriedly.
And his thoughts at this time were also those of coach Wu Yang in the coaching area. He crossed his hands in front of his face. Although coach Wu Yang, who was sitting on the bench, didn't seem to have any change in his expression, he was very nervous in his heart.
He really wanted to end the game when he replaced Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi, who performed well in the game with Wakunan, has the strength to make Coach Uyang think so. In fact, the wonderful performance of the first goal also made Coach Uyang worried. After putting down a lot, it should be said that Qingcheng deserves to be Qingcheng. He responded quickly to the second ball and even got the point back from Yamaguchi.
I think the people from Qingcheng came to watch the previous game with Wakunan. They also had a meeting before the game started to discuss how to deal with Yamaguchi. Are they still too young?
Realizing that the substitution tactic had been seen through, Coach Karasuno felt very bitter.
"We are not completely unprepared. It is a good idea to change the decisive server to end the game, but Qingcheng is not He Jiunan."
Oikawa looked at Yamaguchi who was substituted and smiled slightly. After watching Karasuno's game, Oikawa had considered that Karasuno would definitely let him play at the critical moment of the game, so in the pre-game meeting Oikawa focused on Yamaguchi's jump ball.
Being mentioned by Oikawa proves Yamaguchi's strength, so other people in Qingcheng did not underestimate Yamaguchi, who performed very poorly in the last game against them. As for dealing with jump balls, he was competing against a university team of graduated players. When he was a student, Qingcheng also encountered many college students who were better than Yamaguchi. Therefore, it is a bit exaggerated to say that, but although Yamaguchi's floating ball is a threat to Qingcheng, it is not a big one.
The final situation of the game, which was proved by adapting to Yamaguchi's floating ball with just one ball and then counterattacking.
"Being targeted and scored by the little 'rabid dog', I hope this one-year level leaves some shadow."
Oikawa thought with great sympathy that Yamaguchi, who only danced float balls, was cracked in the area where he was most confident, and was targeted and scored by the opponent. Moreover, in this kind of life and death situation, just thinking about it makes people full of pressure.
The key deciding server was cracked, and even Hinata, who had just come on the field, could detect the blow to Karasuno. Just when he thought he should say something to liven up the atmosphere, Hayato clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. come over.
"Everyone, because I have never played against Qingcheng before, I have nothing to do with Qingcheng. For me now, this game is the most difficult game among all the games I have played, but now I , I feel even more excited, because such a powerful and good opponent is exactly what I am pursuing."
Opening his arms, Hayato continued.
"What is our goal? Xiangyang?"
"Hey, ah, marching across the country!"
Hinata's name was suddenly called, and she still didn't react. Then she thought of Karasuno's goal and immediately answered loudly.
"That's right! So we should be happy when we encounter such a difficult opponent now! Only by fighting against strong opponents can we become stronger. This is the case in Qingcheng, the same is true in Shiratorizawa, and even more so with the strong opponents in the national competition. There are too many to count, so don’t lower your heads, we haven’t lost yet!”
After Hayato said this, everyone felt a little more relaxed at the moment. Yes, Qingcheng was very strong, but to march across the country, Qingcheng had to overcome the obstacles in the past. The experience gained from fighting against strong enemies would make Karasuno become More powerful.
"You're right, we haven't lost yet."
Daichi was the first to speak, then Tanaka, who patted Hayato on the shoulder.
"So we have to work hard next. You are not only our ace, but also our strongest bait."
"Tanaka-senpai, I am Karasuno's strongest bait!"
When it comes to decoys, Hinata is the first to stand up. He can't do the ace yet, but the title of the strongest decoy is what Hinata thinks he has to do, and Hayato-senpai already has the handsome nickname of 'Ferocious Bird'.
Looking at Hayato with resentment, Hinata tried to express her resentment with her eyes.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, the strongest bait is our Xiangyang."
After noticing Hinata's appearance, Hayato smiled and comforted him. After such a fuss, Karasuno's atmosphere returned to normal. Everyone stood up again to face Qingcheng's attack. Hinata was in the back row at this time. If Qingcheng wanted to score, his serve would definitely be aimed at Hinata.
Nishitani asked Hinata to make room for him and planned to expand his defense range.
Sure enough, Qingcheng's serve went straight to Hinata. Nishitani, who called me, rushed forward. Hinata took the initiative to retreat. Nishitani put his arms together and made a standard underhand catch to resolve the attack of Qiu's serve. The opportunity ball came to Karasuno. This way.
With Hayato and Tanaka in the front row and Hinata in the back row, who will Kageyama pass the ball to?
The variety of attacker options also diversified Karasuno's attacks, and Oikawa showed a familiar disgusted smile.
"What a troublesome team, Karasuno."
