Chapter 149: Shiratorizawa vs. Oudai (2) Match Alert

Seeing that the whistle for the serve timeout was about to blow, Kenjo Shinichi finally took action. The amplitude of his toss was much smaller than before, and even the point of impact was lowered. He put his fingers together, swung his arms, and then stopped abruptly.

"What kind of tactic is this?" Lei asked, confused. "Float?"

Why does the jump look so awkward? And... Tiredly pursing his lips, "Too slow."

Fukuda had certainly studied Kenjo Shinichi's serving games. It wasn't like his opponent had never used this kind of slow floater before, but it was rare, and most of the time it happened after multiple serves. Frankly, Bingye smiled, his tone unclear. "Out of form? Or was it a serving error?"

Only Xuecun didn't speak. Instead, he looked towards Outai with a serious expression.

The one standing at the fourth position of Outai today was Xinghai. He let out a somewhat unhappy click of his tongue when he saw the ball coming over, then stepped forward to prepare to receive the ball. As mentioned before, Xinghai is a rare Chinese main attacker of Outai who is good at receiving serves. Shanglin was troubled by this for a while - it's impossible for the libero to receive fewer balls than the main attacker, so logically speaking, this ball should be a free point.

But that is just "reasonably speaking".

In fact, after Xinghai saw the trajectory of the serve, the moment the ball touched his wrist, casually, at the moment it was about to touch his palm, the volleyball seemed to suddenly develop self-awareness and "floated" to the right, just like its name.

Then it landed beside Xinghai's right foot.

The scoreboard numbers change.

Shiratorizawa 1:0

“…”

"...What the hell was that ball?" Nozawa clicked his tongue. "A coincidence?"

"Aim now," Suho said, "I thought Kenjo-kun didn't like this kind of serve."

Matsumoto, the server of Jingtashan, really likes this erratic overhand serve. Kenshiro Shinichi and Miya Yu often use the jump float serve, but it is normal to reduce the number of jump float serves after studying their receiving habits in advance. Suho took the opportunity to glance at the person who had returned to the serving point with the ball. He saw Kenshiro Shinichi with his head down, and the volleyball in his hand turned twice. The broken hair on his forehead cast a shadow, making it difficult to see what his expression was.

The other people in Shiratorizawa also reacted as if they were accustomed to Kenjo Shinichi's serve. That's great, Suho felt a little emotional for some reason, and then looked at Xinghai who had just failed to receive the ball.

Xinghai, who was tricked, showed no obvious emotion on his face. He slowly exhaled and calmly returned to his original position.

"The next ball is coming."

It is unclear whether the ball was a mistake or intentional, but as long as Jian Chengxin dares to serve to him again, he will definitely let the ball fall into Shiratorizawa's half.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Shiratorizawa's second serve.

At the same moment the serve command began, Kenjo Shinichi, who had delayed serving the previous ball until the end, tossed the ball with his right hand, then jumped high as if wings had grown behind him, and hit the ball hard with his left hand.

Before everyone in Outai could react, in just a moment, the volleyball fell inside the left rear line like an automatic cruise missile, then slowly rolled to the side against the wall and finally stopped.

The commentator's voice was also a little slow, and it took a few seconds for it to be heard again from the stadium that had fallen into eerie silence.

"A completely different style from the first ball. With devilish precision, Kenjo didn't even need to think about the timing, hitting a clean, left-handed sidespin shot on the second ball. The spin and placement were both beautiful, leaving Odai absolutely no chance to exploit," Sano said, wiping sweat from his face. "It was a serve like a weapon."

Miya You, who was warming up on the other side of the stadium at this time, couldn't help but turn his head to look when he heard the praise. Unfortunately, there were two other teams that had already started the game between them and Shiratorizawa, so in the end he could only listen to some commentary in the gap.

Gong You: ...

Gong You said to Gong Zhi expressionlessly: "Were you too slow in jumping just now?"

Miyaji:?

Miyaji: "What are you venting your anger on?"

Their opponent today is Gyokumine Junior High School from Shizuoka Prefecture. Their overall strength is not that great. The reason they were able to advance to the top 16 is because their main attacker is quite strong. However, compared with Inarizaki, they are a little bit inferior. Because the game was already tense enough, the scene actually saw the high school's top twins Miya Yu and Miyaji grabbing each other's collars while warming up on the court.

The balls passed by the setter of Yufeng Middle School were all off by several angles.

At this time, Kenjo Shinichi served for the third time.

Usuri, who had been watching from the stands, held back for a few seconds before finally speaking, "Kenjo-kun's serve really gave people an impression of being impeccable."

In addition to being ambidextrous, he also makes good use of jump serves and jump serves, and his side spin shots are very standard. He even uses time intervals to put pressure on his opponents.

It would be a lie to say it wasn't scary. Kozaka had been there too, so he understood the torment that Oudai was going through at that moment. He had to be ready to adjust his receiving and serving postures at any time, and the next second the ball would appear in front of him as if it had seen through his mind. He would be in a panic and end up not being able to catch the ball.

Volleyball is a sport where the ball cannot be allowed to touch the ground. If it does, it means the whole game is lost.

"It's only been a few minutes but I already feel like a long time has passed," Uri murmured.

Besides Shiratorizawa's cheers, the sounds he could hear were Oudai's encouragement, but everyone's eyes, at least his, were focused on the blue-haired boy standing at the serving point.

It was as if he had some strange magical power.

Kiryu slowly spoke, "Kenjo isn't just terrible at serving."

To be honest, if Kiryu Hachi had to choose one, he still felt that Kenjo Shinichi's ball control ability was more terrifying.

The jumping posture is always consistent, the person who spikes the ball is unexpected, and you never know who he will pass the ball to until the last moment. It is not only the attackers who are manipulated, but also the players who can't help but focus on the setter and ignore other attentions.

Kenjo Shinichi possesses such terrifying strength.

During the conversation, neither in the middle nor at the end, as if deliberately stretching their countdown ability, the Shiratorizawa setter's timing in the three serves was different, and even the types of serves were different.

The third ball was a jump serve, accurate as always, landing in an unreactable position.

Xinghai clenched his fists, and his joints made a crackling sound as bubbles of bone were squeezed out. He turned his head to look at Kenjo Shinichi's position almost the moment the ball landed.

The other party seemed to have noticed his gaze.

For some unknown reason, perhaps after a few seconds, player No. 9 raised the hand that had just served the ball and made a "three" gesture to Xinghai who was staring at him.

Then he tilted his head and gave Xinghai a smile. It must be said that Kenjo Shinichi really has a good appearance. He showed a little bit of his teeth when he smiled, and finally made a mouth shape that said something unknown. Perhaps he realized that Xinghai probably couldn't hear him, so he kept smiling after he finished speaking, put down his hands, and prepared for his fourth goal.

However, the aura around him showed that he was in a good mood.

Xinghai: ...

Xinghai had a blank expression on his face, "This guy Jiancheng is actually provoking me."

After saying this, Oudai's No. 5 main attacker also had a sinister smile on his face, "I'll make him pay after the game."

Then, as if to ease the atmosphere, Xinghai laughed twice.

But it was obvious that such a smile did not make the atmosphere in Oudai any better. Instead, it made Xinghai himself look like he was mad.

“…”

Suho and Nozawa, who were standing beside him, were both silent.

They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that No. 9 Shiratorizawa's words were not meant to be provocative. But if it was a friendly message... doing such a thing between serves would be too strange.

Doesn't this person have any emotional intelligence?

Suho wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally gave up the option of saying something good about Kenjo Shinichi. In short... he thought to himself that he hoped Kenjo-kun wouldn't come to talk to him after the game was over.

The fourth ball was still a side-spin ball. It seemed that Kenjo Shinichi aimed the ball towards the libero. Shanglin's strength was not weak, but he still couldn't catch this sudden ball. The force of the volleyball had been reduced in the air, but the pain in his elbow after the friction was not an illusion.

Damn it, Shanglin gritted his teeth. How much strength did he use?

"Feel sorry!"

"Don't worry!" Bai Ma's voice rose a little, "Continue playing the next ball."

His eyes followed No. 9 Shiratorizawa. As expected, Kenjo Shinichi's serve was difficult to break, and his scoring rate was the highest so far.

"Shiratorizawa!"

The sound of passionate drums.

"Shiratorizawa!"

"One more goal! Jiancheng! One more goal!"

The audience around was obviously inspired by such support and began to applaud involuntarily. To be honest, the starting point is of course good, but it is not a good thing for players who are focused on their own serves, as their rhythm can be easily disrupted.

But the blue-haired boy in his sight didn't even change his movements at all, and this time he threw the ball with his left hand.

“Bang!”

There was another loud bang, and the volleyball deformed the moment it was hit. The ball was so powerful that it bounced out of the court after hitting the ground and almost fell into the stands.

"...Incredible!" the commentator yelled, "An incredible jump serve! Kenjo's serve gives Shiratorizawa another point!"

This time, Jiancheng did not make gestures to Xinghai like he did just now. Instead, he waved in the direction of the people in the audience holding his cheering fan, causing a burst of screams of "Master Xinyi" that echoed one after another, making the cheerleaders' support seem a little less impressive.

"...So noisy." Lei covered his ears slightly. "Is he a peacock?"

Fukuda General's support is actually quite traditional, and the cheerleading team does not have colorful bouquets like other teams, so it is a little weaker in terms of support. For Fukuda General, the noisy environment is not conducive to the game, and at this moment it is also surprised by Shiratorizawa's popularity.

"Kenjo-kun is quite popular, isn't he?" Ikeda sighed. "If we were to face them, we'd definitely have to endure this kind of exaggerated cheering."

“…”

The tired expression is a bit dead.
