Qingcheng's current lineup is the strongest, but Karasuno's side is different. They also have another ace. The third-year Dongfeng Asahi is still full of physical strength. It's not like Coach Wu Yang has never thought about it. Qingcheng Lienhan, after all, it was Qingcheng, the strongest school in Miyagi Prefecture besides Shiratorizawa, and there was a big gap between them and other teams.
Therefore, it was planned that Dongfeng was put on the bench. If he could win the game 2:0 directly, it would be happy. If not, Karasuno could let the third-year ace come on and cooperate with Hayato.
"Senior Xu, please give me some advice."
"Oh, leave it to me."
Hayato said to Asahi with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his fist. He had already lost the second round, and it would not change if he continued to struggle. The most important thing now is the third round. Asahi, who had not used up much physical strength at all, was relaxed at this moment. He fist bumped with Hayato.
"Speaking of which, we and Qingcheng have become good rivals for three rounds."
Thinking of this, Daichi next to Asahi held his shoulders and said with a smile, Hayato hadn't joined during the IH preliminaries, and Hinata and Kageyama only had weird quick attacks. At that time, they also played three games with Qingcheng, and the score was a draw. Ye's side is lagging behind, and now they still have to play three rounds with Qingcheng. The difference is that Karasuno took the lead in the first two rounds.
There is no situation where only oneself has improved and others have not improved at all, but even so, Karasuno's performance in these two games is much better than before. With the addition of new players, the evolution of the first grade, and the more mature teamwork, Karasuno is getting further and further on the road to becoming a powerful man.
"Yes, we also played three full games with Qingcheng during IH, but at that time we tried our best to keep up with Qingcheng. Now, Qingcheng is trying his best to keep up with us."
A hand also appeared on the other shoulder. It was Sugawara. He also imitated Daichi's movements and said while holding Asahi's shoulder.
The three seniors appeared in front of him at the same time, and Hayato was not nervous. He knew that the seniors wanted to say something to distract him. After all, both games were tied, and the first game was due to his own mistakes. It's normal for the seniors to be afraid that his overthinking will affect his performance.
"Seniors, remembering the past is something only an old man would do. What's more important now is to win the third game."
"You brat, you have a very big heart."
Sugawara, who usually practiced with Hayato, smiled and ruffled Hayato's hair. He was still in the mood for a joke. It seemed that there was no need for them to worry. The other two saw Sugawara's movements and followed suit. The three of them soon followed suit. He rubbed Hayato's hair until it looked like a bird's nest.
Looking at the masterpiece in front of them, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. Their laughter attracted the attention of others. The second grader Tanaka laughed when he saw Hayato hugging his belly in embarrassment.
"Pfft, hahaha, Hayato, you, your current hairstyle has completely turned into a bird's nest, haha, if the girls in the school see it, your image will be ruined, haha."
Giving Tanaka a roll of his eyes and ignoring the teasing of his bad friends in the second grade, Hayato stretched out his hand to straighten his hairstyle.
"Kageyama, just laugh if you want. Don't hold it in, pfft."
Of course, the first-year juniors also saw it. Hinata was the first one who couldn't hold back her laughter. Kageyama next to him covered his mouth with his hands, his shoulders kept shaking, and he looked like he was having a hard time enduring it.
As a result, Hinata said this, and laughter is contagious, and soon Kageyama, who couldn't hold himself back, started laughing too. Yamaguchi also laughed secretly from the side, and even Tsukishima covered his mouth with his hands to prevent others. See the corners of his mouth raised.
"Really, is it that funny?"
Hayato didn't understand why everyone was laughing so happily, and then he saw even Jiezi hiding her face with a notebook and laughing.
"Because, you usually have a handsome face, but suddenly you have a bird's nest hair style. The contrast is so huge, it must be funny."
However, he patted Hayato on the shoulder and told the truth.
Spread your hands and laugh if you want. Hayato doesn't care about it anymore. After all, if you are still in the mood to laugh, you don't need to worry about your condition.
The cheerful atmosphere in Karasuno made the cheering group in the stands a little curious.
"Nihua-chan, Hayato and the others look so happy."
"Yes, that's right. It seems like the failure in the second game didn't affect them!"
Renhua, who easily guessed the current situation, clenched her fists. This should be the only good news after the defeat in the second game. Everyone was still in a joking mood, and their morale was not broken due to the defeat.
"It seems like the second game didn't affect Karasuno."
Iwaizumi, who was also resting on Qingcheng's side, was holding a water bottle in his hand and looked at Karasuno's laughter, then turned to Oikawa beside him and said.
"I've seen it too. Those guys are really annoying, especially No. 13. I want to put him on the same level as Tobio. That guy will probably reach Ushijima's level in another year, but It has nothing to do with me."
He made a face at Karasuno. What Oikawa hated most was geniuses. From the login information, he knew that Hayabusa had only played volleyball for a year, and he had reached this level in just one year. What else could he be if he wasn't a genius?
"You guys are such a bastard."
Regarding Oikawa's idea that future events have nothing to do with me, Iwaizumi complained harshly.
"That's too much."
The timeout passed quickly, and the players entered the venue one after another. When Hayato and Asahi walked into the venue at the same time, it caused quite a stir. The audience in the venue who had seen Karasuno's Double Ace Tactics began to be surprised by those who had not seen it before. The companion explained.
"Sure enough, I think Karasuno's No. 3 is the trump card prepared for this round."
"The game against He Jiunan left a deep impression on me. That No. 3 is now in a situation where everyone's physical strength is exhausted in two fierce battles. An ace player with strong physical strength comes on the field. Qingcheng wants to It’s dangerous!”
"Hey, isn't he just a substitute if he doesn't play? Why do you call him an ace?"
"you do not know..."
Oikawa's heart tightened when he saw a familiar person on the field. He and Iwaizumi had seen the match with Kunan before. That No. 3 had played against each other before and was strong enough to be called an ace. This time, Karasuno did not change in the first two games. Oikawa guessed when he got up that he was planning to let him conserve his energy.
But you know, even if you are mentally prepared, even Oikawa is a little powerless at this time, because this is no longer a hidden trump card, Karasuno is just putting the fact that he has two aces in the face On.
"Iwaizumi, you have to fight hard in the third round."
Iwaizumi said something to his old partner with a wry smile, but Iwaizumi was very calm.
"We knew it would be like this when the No. 13 rookie became the starter, didn't we? We also saw the cooperation between the two of them in the game with Jiunan. They are stronger, but it is not completely unsolvable. As for the physical problem, this You have to rely on your momentum to get through this kind of thing."
"Wow, the PE department is so passionate."
"Otherwise, let's admit defeat and go home. We still have to defeat Shiratorizawa. How can we stop here?"
"You are worthy of being our ace in Qingcheng. Go all out and I will support you."
"oh!"
After seeing Asahi playing in the stands, Saeko was also very excited. Having watched the match with Kunan, she knew how strong the combination of Hayato and Asahi was. Moreover, she also thought of the key point of physical strength. The fierce competition made Saeko in the stands You can all feel the fatigue of the players, but that has nothing to do with Xu who is in the substitute area. He has been conserving his energy!
"Great, the double ace combination has started again. We have a huge advantage in the third game!"
"What, what, Dongfeng actually came on stage!?"
Later, Takigami didn't know about this, and Shimada who was on the side briefly told him the process of the game between Karasuno and Wakunan.
"That means we don't have a good chance in the third game! You guys said that the third game will be bad."
Patting Shimada on the back, Takinoue smiled easily.
