At the Prefectural Date Technical High School, everyone in Karasuno came here, planning to hold multiple training matches on Saturday. After all, they had an appointment with such a strong school as Date Industrial High School, and just one game was not enough.
"Please give me some advice!"
The current leader of Dateko's volleyball club, second-year Kenji Futakuchi, took the lead in shouting, and then everyone saw all Dateko members bowing at the same time and shouting for advice. The momentum was quite astonishing.
After receiving such a warm welcome, Sugawara whispered, 'They are still so impressive.' Although Asahi, who was standing next to Sugawara, said he was not timid, he had always been a girl and couldn't bear this.
Daichi led everyone in Karasuno to reply and asked for advice. The coaches and teachers from both sides went to communicate first. The players could go to activities to warm up. Aone, a strong and mouthless man who had become friends with Hinata, nodded to Hinata. Even after saying hello, setter Kanegawa, who got to know Hinata well during the first-year training camp, also greeted Hinata and Tsukishima loudly and energetically.
"Hinata! Ayuki!"
"Oh! Gold!"
Tsukishima, who found it troublesome, pretended not to hear, while Hinata energetically called out the abbreviation of Gold Gold River to greet him.
Seeing someone calling Tsukishima Azuki again, Yamaguchi, who is Tsukishima's close friend, felt the crisis.
Kageyama, on the other hand, was staring at Kanegawa. He remembered that after he came back, during team training, Hinata said that when Tsukishima was the setter at Kanegawa, his RBIs were higher than now.
Kageyama, who is burning with fighting spirit, must find his place in this training match.
The coaches from both sides greeted each other, and coach Wu Yang called everyone in front of him for pre-match training.
"Datego's blocking is undoubtedly the top level in the prefecture. Even in the national competition, it can make many strong teams suffer. And I heard that their level has reached a higher level."
"So this time I want to steal their blocking skills, right?"
Tanaka clenched his fists excitedly. When he heard what he said, Coach Wuyang smiled and said back to him, "If you can really do it, I won't stop you." '
"However, even if you really want to practice blocking skills at the same level as them, there is not enough time."
After joking, coach Wu Yang explained seriously.
"So today I hope you will try your best to adapt to Datego's blocking during the game. After half a year, you will be able to practice tighter blocking. Only in this way will you not be beaten when you encounter similar blocking in the national competition. Beaten to the point of panic.”
The match against Dateko was still in the IH (National High School Integrated Athletic Association Volleyball Competition) era when Hayato was not a member. This time Harutaka Dateko was defeated by Aojo, so the two teams could not face off again.
Hayato is very interested in Datego, who is known as the iron wall. He also wants to know what he will look like when facing Datego's block.
Asahi on the side looked at the eagerness in Hayato's eyes and sighed in his heart. A big heart like Hayato's is what an ace should have.
After the training, Coach Wu Yang announced the players for today's first game.
Daichi, Hinata, Tanaka.
Hayato, Tsukishima (Nishitani), Kageyama.
Let's directly use Karasuno's current strongest lineup to face off against Datego, and see how much this lineup can perform.
After hearing this arrangement, Xu was not dissatisfied. Firstly, he was no longer in the main selection. Secondly, there was more than one training match today, so he would definitely have a chance to play.
Sugawara, who had been paying attention to Asahi's expression, felt relieved after seeing Asahi's expression. It seemed that he no longer needed to comfort him with words.
"Please give me some advice!"
After all the players entered the field, everyone said again that Dateko served first, and the libero Nishitani directly rotated with Tsukishima.
Datego's server chose an overhand serve and sent the ball over the net.
The familiar land called Nishitani, and Nishitani made no mistakes. He directly lifted the ball and sent it to the direction of Kageyama. The first one to run was Hinata. He quickly ran to the 2nd position and jumped from the right side, but everyone except Kanegawa was paying attention. With Hinata, this was the first time he saw Hinata use super speed attack. Hinata had been working as a ball boy during previous training sessions, and there was no Kageyama to pass the ball to him.
The other two blockers, Aone and Futakuchi, didn't look at Hinata at all. Their attention was entirely on Kageyama and the volleyball that flew to Kageyama's side.
"Hayato-senpai."
"bring it on!"
For the first ball, Kageyama subconsciously chose his own ace and jumped to pass.
Hayato, who was a little excited, also shouted loudly. When he jumped into the air and was about to smash the ball, he found that the iron wall had been erected. Futakuchi and Aone, who were chasing the volleyball, had jumped into the air simultaneously. Kanegawa was one step behind. Also keep up.
But if you were a step slower, you would have an opportunity. Without hesitation, he chose to break through the loophole in the block. Hayato dug in according to the fingertips of Huang Huanggawa's left hand as he took off.
The volleyball passed by Kanegawa's left ring finger and then touched the side of Aone's right hand next to him. Taking advantage of Hayato's smash, it rebounded directly and landed in the front half of Datego's front row, and the score was effective.
The score was so electric that the referee sitting on the referee's chair took a moment to react before blowing the whistle and announcing the score.
"cut."
"Ohhhhhh!"
Different reactions. Seeing Hayato score, Karasuno was very excited, while Datego's side, the captain Futakuchi was very unhappy.
Datego also collected Hayato's information, and they also watched the match against Shiratorizawa. At that time, they felt that there was a chance to stop Hayato's spikes, because Hayato's previous spikes were all about frontal breakthroughs.
So facing Dateko's three-man iron wall, Hayato shouldn't have scored so cleanly.
"You were blocked by the blocker on your first spike, and you still dared to score a goal. I'm sure it's you, Hayato."
Coach Karasuno who was sitting on the chair had a complicated expression on his face. That was Dateko's iron wall. Karasuno also suffered a lot in IH. How could it be that in Hayato's place, breaking through and scoring seemed so simple? It's easy.
"Tobio."
Hayato, who successfully scored, didn't look that excited. He calmly called out to Kageyama and gave him a high-five.
"Perfect shot, Hayato-senpai."
Kageyama, who had been observing the entire audience, also noticed that Kanegawa was a step slower in blocking, so Hayato's smash was perfect. Kageyama, who was gradually changing himself, was not so entangled when he praised Hayato, and said it simply.
Concentrated blocking is a formation that can activate multiple blocks at any time to respond to attacks. However, because the defense line is highly concentrated in the middle of the net, it is relatively difficult to deal with attacks from both wings.
So far, the opponents Karasuno has encountered have basically scattered blocks and arranged the blockers in a scattered manner. Although the defense against fast breaks in the middle is weak, no matter where the opponent attacks from, there is at least one blocker who can perform, and the coverage is wider. Wideness is the advantage of spread blocking.
But the concentrated block that has been tempered for many times is very terrifying. No matter what kind of attack it faces, it can quickly form multiple high walls. This is the skilled concentrated block.
Facing Dateko's mature concentrated block, Hayato smashed the ball without hesitation, which boosted Karasuno's morale a lot.
"Good serve from Tanaka!"
"give it to me!"
Choosing a jump serve, Tanaka shouted for a take-off smash. Although the take-off posture was very good and the smash was also very strong, he was still picked up by Dateko's libero.
"Damn, sorry!"
Tanaka was very upset when his serve failed to score, and Daichi shouted to comfort him.
"Don't worry, pay attention to defense."
After Dateko picked up the ball, he chose to attack with the main attacker Futakuchi. Kanegawa passed the ball to him. Hayato chased the ball and ran in front of Futakuchi. There was a time difference between them. Futakuchi wanted to use this move to get rid of him. Hayato, but when he took off, he realized that Hayato had not yet landed.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Gritting his teeth and looking at Hayato on the opposite side, Futakuchi thought to himself, but the ball had already been passed, and there was no chance for a frontal breakthrough. The second pass chose a lob, but Karasuno also had a solution to the lob.
"give it to me!"
Nishitani, the patron saint of Karasuno, took a step forward with his right foot, stretched out his right hand, lifted the ball directly with his wrist, and then rolled it on the ground while saying "rolling-thunder" to complete the set. Nishitani showed a satisfied smile.
Sugawara on the sidelines also shouted that Nishitani received the ball beautifully.
But Kageyama, who was about to make a second pass, shouted towards Nishitani.
"Senior Nishitani, you are too much in the way!"
Such straightforward words shocked everyone present, and Nishitani even had veins bulging on his forehead.
"What did you say!?"
Hayato also smiled helplessly, Kageyama, a brat, was too straightforward.
In the end, Hinata won the ball, but everyone had no time to celebrate. Hayato put his hands through Nishitani's armpits and lifted him up, preventing Nishitani from rushing towards Kageyama.
"Kageyama, say it again."
Nishitani, who was still angry, stared at Kageyama's face. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Even the two people on the other side of the net quickly left the whirlpool. Karasuno looked at the two people nervously, fearing that they would fight. .
As the person involved, Kageyama was very calm.
"Senior Nishitani, you are hindering the back row attack."
As soon as these words came out, Renhua was a little confused.
"Huh? Is there any?"
"It's hard to say, but I definitely didn't notice it. Everyone was moving at the time."
Jiezi also looked uncertain. It was difficult for people who were not present to see the position of each player accurately.
But Nishitani understood quickly. He immediately understood that his roll just now had hindered the people in the back row.
After seeing him calm down, Hayato put him down.
"I see!"
The conversation between the two made Sugawara feel a little emotional.
"I didn't notice it at all."
"Both Kageyama, who noticed it during the game, and Nishitani, who immediately recalled the situation after being told, are both very powerful."
The other person who expressed the same emotion was Yuan Xia, who was crossing his chest with both hands. These two people were indeed different from everyone else.
On the other hand, Yamaguchi looked scared.
"Kageyama who dares to speak to Nishitani-senpai like that is really scary."
"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't have said it so harshly, right?"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Tanaka wanted to dissuade him, but Kageyama had a confused expression.
"Then what should I say."
Tanaka, who was stimulated by these words, was also a little excited. Just when he was about to say something, Daichi grabbed the back of his head with his hand. At the same time, I apologize to the classmates on the referee’s chair.
"Okay, that's it. Ah, sorry, sorry, you can continue."
The storm was over for the time being and the game continued. Just when everyone thought the atmosphere would become serious, Nishitani passed the ball perfectly to Kageyama, who shouted directly.
"Nice pass, Nishitani-senpai!"
Continue to pass the ball to Hayato. This time Dateko's three-man blocker did not hesitate and took off simultaneously. Hayato chose to break through head-on. Unfortunately, although he broke through the blocker, the power was slowed down by the blocker. The free man was able to lift the ball. Dagong made a quick break and scored one point.
"I'm sorry, Kageyama, your transmission was fine, but I got a little carried away."
"As long as you know, Datego's blocking is very strong, so there is no need to pursue a frontal breakthrough."
Hayato and Kageyama had similar conversations many times during youth team training, but today it was the first time that everyone in Karasuno saw Kageyama complaining to someone other than Hinata.
In addition to the previous compliments to Hinata, everyone was very curious about Kageyama's current state.
In this way, everyone in Karasuno got through the first game under Kageyama's praise and scolding. With the current lineup, although they had an advantage against Date Gong, they still needed more training. Fortunately, they won this game.
25:21
Although he won, Kageyama's expression was still very heavy, as if he himself was not used to it.
Hayato was substituted in the second game, and Asahi started to get even worse. Asahi's spikes, eager to prove himself, were always blocked by Datego's block. The more he wanted to score, the easier it was to make mistakes.
"Sorry, there's nothing wrong with the second pass. It's my fault."
Another ball was blocked, and Asahi slapped his forehead to apologize to Kageyama.
"Since there is no problem with the second pass, please score points."
Kageyama's words left everyone at a loss. Tanaka almost couldn't bear it when he heard this, Daichi held him down and asked him to calm down.
"Could it be that 'His Majesty the King' is going to be restored?"
Tsukishima, who was taking the rotation with Nishitani, whispered something. Although the sound was not loud, several people around him heard it.
"Probably not."
Sugawara touched his chin and looked at Hayato. Hayato said before that there would be no problem, but now it is like this.
Seeing this, Hayato had no choice but to explain.
"Sugawara-senpai, you have spent the longest time with Higashikata-senpai. Did Higashikata-senpai feel like he was a little too strong today?"
"When you say that, it seems..."
"I tend to be impulsive when faced with three people blocking the block. I remember that before I came here, Sugawara-senpai, you told me about our duel with Date Ko. So now, Higashikata-senpai must want to break through the block and score more than I do. Of course, it’s Tobio’s fault that he was too straightforward.”
Judging from the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, they should have accepted it.
"It seems to me that our Karasuno is a little spoiled by Tobio's passing."
Hayato continued talking and came up with a new idea.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Kageyama doesn't complain to us that much."
Yamaguchi next to him was a little confused, but it was Sugawara who came back to him this time, and Sugawara seemed to understand what Hayato meant.
"Think about it, that's Kageyama, the awkward Kageyama. Yet every time he passes the ball, he always asks the attacker how he felt about the pass. It's Kageyama who has always adjusted and adapted to us."
"Yes, so even bad habits, he will adapt to them."
Taking up Sugawara's topic, Hayato added another punch. Everyone is a little embarrassed now. How does it feel to pass the ball? Kageyama would ask this after passing the ball to everyone, so it was natural for everyone to give their opinions.
You can hit the ball lower or slower, but you never think about whether you can hit it higher or faster if you work harder?
"It seems that Kageyama's mental shadow in middle school was very serious. No one was at the end of the pass. As a result, he has been forcing himself after entering Karasuno, for fear of what happened in junior high school happening again."
Sugawara exhaled softly and felt a little emotional.
Having completely understood what Hayato meant, he shook his head.
"So now Kageyama has not changed back to his original self. He praises when he plays well and complains when he plays poorly. There is nothing wrong with this. Why don't we do this all the time during training? It's different. Even now Kageyama has joined in, what’s wrong with that.”
23:25
After losing the second game, Karasuno had to do a dive for a week to reflect. After it was over, Sugawara and Hayato told everyone on the field what they had just talked about.
"So I thought about it at the beginning, Kageyama, why can't you be the king?"
After hearing this, Hinata pulled her towel and said.
"Is it because you are too bossy or too self-centered? But in any case, isn't that in the past? You are no longer like that. Besides, as long as what you say is unacceptable, I won't listen."
"Well, Hinata is right, I will listen to what Kageyama says, but I will ignore the part where the tone is too harsh."
Tanaka took over, and Tsukishima wiped his glasses.
"Same as above."
Kageyama also knew that he was a little anxious, and even changes would not be effective immediately.
"The best setter in the world is to let the attacker play the ball easily. This is undoubtedly a skill that can be achieved through communication. You are on this path now, but if you give a lesson in a gentler tone, it will be better." It’s ready.”
Hayato patted Kageyama on the shoulder.
"Kageyama, I have been trying to stagger the timing of the smash and the opponent's block, but I am not strong enough against Datego. However, your passing is very good. Please keep it up."
Asahi also walked up to Kageyama and expressed his thoughts.
"Ah, but I personally hope you can be a little gentler."
"Well, I, I'll try my best."
"Very good, then regroup and continue the third game!"
Daichi concluded, and Karasuno walked towards the field full of fighting spirit.
In the third game, Hayato and Asahi played at the same time. Kageyama deliberately reduced the passes to Hayato, hoping to let Asahi attack. Hayato did not complain and did Hinata's job, which was to be a bait.
Because Hayato's strong attack in the first game left a deep impression on Datego's blocking, Hayato's running attack often asked Datego to block him. Hayato, who acted at the same time as Asahi, made it impossible for the blocker to judge this. Who will the ball be passed to? Kageyama passes the ball very quickly, so there is a lot of pressure on the blocker.
But Datego is not a weak team. The front row blockers who focused on volleyball were able to organize an effective defense after adapting to Kageyama's passing speed. Several of Asahi's spikes were blocked.
Fortunately, Asahi also adjusted his spiking intensity, so Nishitani had time to save the ball that was blocked by the block.
Attacking again, Asahi's spike finally broke through Dateko's blocker. The volleyball hit Huang Huanggawa's arm and the thug went out of bounds.
"OK!"
Xu, who had broken through himself, clenched his fists and shouted happily, and Kageyama walked up from the side.
"That's a good shot, Senior Dongfeng."
"oh oh."
After being complained about just now, and suddenly being praised by Kageyama, Asahi was a little unable to react and didn't know what expression to make.
Kageyama, who was getting better and better, set his next target on Tsukishima.
Trying to hit the ball half a ball higher, Kageyama passed the ball to Tsukishima.
So of course the ball was a mistake. Tsukishima, who took off, failed to reach the ball. The volleyball landed in Karasuno's half, giving Dateko a point. After landing, Tsukishima had an unhappy expression on his face. .
"Hey, I won't deliberately cooperate with you."
Kageyama, who knew Tsukishima's hitting point was higher than this, said this bluntly to Tsukishima, and the expression on Tsukishima's face, who had always been at odds with Kageyama, became even more ugly.
"Ah, really, you can do whatever you want."
Seeing the conflict between the two, Hayato felt a little gloating. However, Tsukishima said it was casual, but in his heart he was a boy who refused to admit defeat. When Kageyama passed the ball to him again, Tsukishima took the initiative to raise his hitting point.
Tsukishima, who tried his best to run up and take off, successfully dunked Kageyama's pass. Using his height advantage, he passed the ball directly over the palm of Dateko's 186cm first-year assistant attacker, and the volleyball fell into the back row.
25:22
Karasuno successfully won the third game
"Nice."
"Well done, Ayue."
Everyone outside the stadium cheered Tsukishima loudly, and Kageyama also approached Tsukishima.
"Isn't this a pretty high jump? Nice."
However, due to the two people's inability to deal with each other, Tsukishima was not happy because of Kageyama's praise, but instead looked very uncomfortable.
"Haha, that boy Kageyama has the expression of a king praising his subordinates."
Tanaka saw the conversation between the two and said with a smirk.
"The setter is like a dominator on the court, so he is the most handsome."
Hinata pressed her temples with both hands, imitating what Kageyama said at that time.
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"So even if you have changed now, your essence is still a king, so just accept your fate!"
After turning her towel into a crown, Hinata jumped up and placed the towel crown on Kageyama's head.
"A new 'King of the Court' is born!"
After landing, Hinata looked at Kageyama with a smile. Everyone around him also completely understood. Then he saw Kageyama holding the towel in his hand and throwing it back to Hinata's face. He showed a confident and relaxed smile.
"Senior Hayato said this during the training camp."
"Hey~ Have you said it before? It doesn't matter. Even if you said it at that time, the day when the new king is really born is today."
Hinata said nonchalantly as she gave her thumbs up.
