Chapter 153 Yinju Ends "With them on the field, I watch the game..."
"With them on the field, I feel much more at ease watching the game."
Shimada took a deep breath. Back when he was in IH, Karasuno hadn't given him this feeling yet.
"Can one person have such a big impact on the entire team?" he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Matsukawa snorted, "I think it's because Karasuno's cooperation has improved."
Compared to IH, these guys are more familiar with each other, and Sawada Tsunayoshi is indeed the icing on the cake; the fabric called Karasuno is already gorgeous enough.
“Even if Tsuna hadn’t returned to Japan, Karasuno still managed to get this far. They are by no means weak.”
Aoyama Kaede wholeheartedly agreed with this statement. If we're talking about ordinary, weak people, he's probably the only one present who fits that description!
"Do you know our chat history with Xiangyang every time?"
Shimada shook his head; how would he know?
Aoyama Kaede counted on her fingers, "Basically, that's it. We didn't chat for long before I went to training. I thought of a new move I could practice. I have a practice match with xxx today, I'm super excited..."
"With this kind of perseverance, you can succeed at anything."
The tall Aoyama Kaede, who only needs to pass the test in everything, was truly astonished.
"It would be hard to believe if it weren't for passion. No matter how much I like something, I probably couldn't do what Xiangyang did."
Shimada also knew Karasuno, after all, they had come to them to find a sparring partner, and later he heard that they had arranged training matches with other schools, which showed their perseverance.
“A club activity…” Aoyama Kaede sighed with an ambiguous meaning. He guessed that was the difference between him and these guys.
Shimada watched as the two teams remained neck and neck, each team trailing by one point and desperately trying to regain possession of the ball. The ball seemed unable to land for a while, flying back and forth across the net, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats while simultaneously letting out a sigh of relief. In the end, it was so dazzling that they couldn't even tell which team they were actually relieved for.
"Sawada, I remember you were good friends with him, and he was also very passionate about volleyball, right?"
Humans really can't resist their gossipy nature. Reporter Shirakawa is offline, and paparazzi Shirakawa is online.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information about Sawada Tsunayoshi from Miura, he started asking around.
Matsukawa Saki thought for a moment, "As for Tsuna, he should have said that he was dragged into playing volleyball by Hinata, just like Nekoma, the setter, who was also tricked into playing volleyball by his childhood friend."
Shirakawa, caught off guard, stumbled upon some gossip about Otoko, and his interest was piqued.
"I thought it would be the kind of answer that promotes physical health."
Shimada thought about Hyuga's son, "Strengthening the body? Then why not play soccer? They don't have many height requirements there."
I can't think of any reason other than liking him.
Oh, and there are these two who were kidnapped to play volleyball.
Matsukawa Saki felt that he was being mocked as well. It is worth mentioning that only Sawada Tsunayoshi has achieved a height reversal. Matsukawa Saki is at most half a head taller than Hyuga. With Hyuga's frizzy hair, there is almost no height difference.
He secretly thought, "Maybe I should get my hair permed after watching the game."
"Actually, I initially thought that Xiaogang really liked volleyball. After all, he trained so hard. Even when he wasn't with Xiaoxiang, he was still very serious. It didn't seem like he was playing volleyball because of Xiaoxiang."
"But later I found out that he didn't seem to like volleyball as much as I thought."
"?" The person listening to the gossip asked with genuine concern. On the field, the boy was rolling around on the ground again, desperately trying to catch the ball, showing no sign of dislike.
Shimada speculated, "Pursuing perfection?"
He knew that some people wanted to do things to the best of their ability.
Matsukawa and Aoyama thought back to Sawada Tsunayoshi's worrying results and felt that the phrase "pursuing the ultimate" was terribly incongruous when applied to Tsunayoshi.
“Not exactly,” Matsukawasaki said with difficulty.
"Because when Tsuna was with Sho, he was genuinely happy playing volleyball, and we could all feel that, but,"
His tone was somewhat heavy. "After Shoyo transferred schools, Tsuna became indifferent to volleyball. He didn't join the junior high school volleyball club, and I heard that he rarely even went to the club anymore."
Shimada and the others also sensed something and waited for Matsukawa Saki to continue.
"As for Tsuna, he doesn't really like volleyball that much, but he really likes his comrades,"
"He would practice volleyball in private during his three years of junior high school, probably because it was a promise he made to Shoyo."
"They made a pact to become the best volleyball players in the country."
Aoyama Kaede muttered a few words, then whispered, "I really thought he wasn't going to continue playing volleyball."
"Who knows? Maybe the deep bond between him and Xiangyang moved some kind-hearted angel and gave him a chance to fulfill his promise to his childhood friend?"
This was the first time Shirakawa had heard all this. Looking at the guys playing so hard on the court, he thought to himself that he really couldn't tell that Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't that enthusiastic about volleyball. But the Shimadas and the others around him looked completely at ease, as if they weren't surprised at all.
The long-haired, melancholic-looking man seemed to sense his confusion and kindly answered him.
"Not everyone is like Shoyo and Kageyama, who simply love volleyball and are driven by a sense of injustice, wanting to give their hard work during their youth a perfect answer."
“Sawada’s promise to Shoyo, or simply because he didn’t want to lose, can all be reasons for us to fight hard. But a reason is just a thought. What keeps us going is how much you are willing to give for that reason.”
Many people drift aimlessly, treating it as a club activity, while others give their all, not wanting to leave any regrets. These places are full of such people.
Sawada Tsunayoshi can also train diligently and tirelessly to keep his promise to his friend.
Their choices will also blossom into different outcomes.
"Whatever their reasons, they are a group of determined people."
"And this year's Karasuno team is full of such determined guys, right?" Tsukishima Akimitsu added the last sentence, his tone smug.
Matsukawa Saki knew that this guy was proud of having such a group of good juniors, but he also really liked Karasuno this year because of that, and hoped to see them go even further.
Kujo Ike, whose family lineage is essentially that of the Owl Valley people, is still hanging out with the Karasuno cheerleading squad while playing an accordion. I wonder if his dad will scold him when he goes back.
Coach Kujo is probably used to his son's rebelliousness by now.
Shirakawa once again felt the charm of team sports from these people. Although he didn't play volleyball, he was still attracted by their description of how everyone, for whatever reason, would work together to move forward towards a common goal.
"Ah, aren't you the Little Giant from Karasuno?" He belatedly realized that he seemed to have seen this face when he was looking through previous reports about Karasuno.
Yunai Tenma shrank his neck. How could he still be recognized even after he had changed like this?
Hyuga was smug; the tactics against the Grinding Stone were clearly the most effective. Nekoma was indeed very good at protecting their precious brains, but Karasuno was also adept at indiscriminate bombardment.
Yes, they did lose Hyuga as a key offensive threat.
But Hyuga can catch the ball!
Although he considers himself a complete setter, Kageyama is the guy who once said, "It would be better if I could handle all the receiving, passing, and spiking myself!"
With his hands free, he's also quite good at spiking.
Sawada Tsunayoshi's power is such that he can knock three people away with a single ball.
Hinata only spent a second regretting that he couldn't spike the ball freely, but the next second he happily passed the ball to his teammates. Scoring is the only thing that matters!
"They play even more aggressively than we did back then," Tsukishima Akimitsu sighed. Back then, with the little giant Tenma Uuchi on the team, Karasuno was a formidable offensive force.
Yuu-Nai Tenma was still confused about why he could still be recognized despite his drastically changed appearance. Upon hearing this, he replied...
"I'm just one person, but they all want to score."
"I think your brother really wants to score directly with a block."
Tsukishima Akimitsu glanced at his younger brother, who was giving Otoko a sinister sneer. Ah, even though it was mockery, he was still an adorable younger brother.
After being mocked by Karasuno (Karasuno: ?), Kenma let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't get caught up in their rhythm. They want us to run around and expend energy."
Anyway, they are very offensive, and even if Otoko is very good at defense, he can't stop everyone.
Almost every team reminds themselves of this when facing Karasuno, but the emotions that Karasuno stirs up are not easy to break, and Karasuno's strong offensive desire is hard to extinguish.
As long as they're on the court, they can't stop their hunger for points.
In this situation, Nekoma also started to make frequent mistakes. Sawada Tsunayoshi's nerves jumped, and he steadily lifted the ball with both hands. He should have passed it to Kageyama, but Hyuga was still in position two, so this ball was handled by the temporary setter Hyuga.
Hinata licked his lips after missing the spike several times, and Kageyama wondered why the opponent didn't retreat. He could have participated in the attack on that last shot, right?
Hinata naturally wanted to spike the ball. He rotated his wrist and, amidst the shocked gaze of his setter, Otokoma, spiked the ball.
Second attack.
He crashed into Kozume's vertical pupils, heard the referee's whistle declaring the score valid, and Hinata smiled.
It's as if to say, "Look, I have even more ways to score."
You can limit his spikes, but he will never stop because of it.
Kozume Kenma was clearly taken aback. Although he knew exactly what kind of person Shoyo was, he was still shocked once again.
In the past six or seven years of her volleyball career, Hinata has worked hard to hone her skills and become a reliable player on the court.
Mojin thought that perhaps it was because Shoyo itself was an unpredictable and unstable factor that it attracted Tsunayoshi, an equally unstable factor, to come along.
Two weirdos, they're driving me crazy.
But it's also more interesting.
Even when the final whistle blew, he didn't react.
Kozume Kenshin was truly drawn into the world of volleyball, experiencing its unique charm alongside Hinata Shoyo.
Volleyball is really fun!
