Chapter 124: Shiratorizawa vs. Aoba Johsai (2) Match Alert...
"left--!"
The figure leaps high, the back stretches, the thighs tighten, the left hand swings, even if there are three people blocking in front of him, there is no way to stop him.
"Score!" Matsumoto instinctively leaned closer to the headset. "Ushijima's spike was incredibly powerful and brutal, shattering Qingcheng's towering defenses. He's truly a formidable powerhouse!"
Compared to him, the other commentator from Miyagi Prefecture was much calmer. "At the same time, the ball was delivered by Shiratorizawa's second setter, Shirabu-san," Nandushu said in a gentle tone. "The setter duo of Shirabu-san and Kenshiro-san is renowned throughout Miyagi. Their precise coordination and positioning, combined with the perfect main attacker and setter, form a formidable attacking force for Shiratorizawa."
"It can be said," Nandushu paused and continued, "Shiratorizawa is now a well-deserved national team."
As the commentator's voice fell, the score on the court was unexpectedly and somewhat glaring. Shiratorizawa was 11:5 Qingcheng, seven of which came from Kenshiro Shinichi's serve. Oikawa Toru also scored three points on his serve, but it was obvious that the gap still existed.
Even though Qingcheng was trying hard to catch up, Shiratorizawa's offense was too strong, and coupled with Qingcheng's inexperienced defense, even though Toru Oikawa narrowed the gap to just two points at the start, it was still Shiratorizawa's home court.
The continuous spikes and scores completely found their loopholes.
"Damn it!" Hanamaki wiped the sweat from running. "Shiratorizawa is so tough."
"Ushijima's spiking is also abnormal," Matsukawa complained, "blocking the diagonal line makes no difference to him." Even though he kept shouting in his heart, "spiking straight line, spiking straight line," in the end it was still his fingers that hurt. Damn left-hander, damn Ushijima Wakari... How could someone spike the ball with such great power!
Not only that, the worst thing is the blocking.
Kenjo Shinichi's blocking height is higher than their spiking height, plus the intuition of that red-haired outside hitter...disgusting tall guys.
"I really want to chop off a piece of his leg and put it on myself."
A sound of some resentment.
"Hanamaki, you..." Matsukawa was about to tell him to stop exaggerating, but when he turned around, he realized it was Iwaizumi who said this. Matsukawa was silent for two seconds, "...personality change?"
Iwaizumi sighed, "Just forget I said anything. Shiratorizawa's serve is coming."
*
"Eh?" Hinata glanced at Shiratorizawa's bench. After a reminder, the senior who had given him candy earlier took the number plate. He only had a vague understanding of the rules of volleyball and was a little confused at the moment. "...Should we change the serve?"
Midorikawa followed his gaze, "It's Senami-senpai."
Senami-senpai's role as a setter...actually, it didn't quite fit in with Shiratorizawa's previous philosophy, but his position in the team was unshakable. (Note 1) Playing as the key server was another strategic arrangement.
Shirabu Kenjiro and Semi, who were substituted at this moment, looked at each other, nodded, took over for a few rows, then stood at the player's bench and slowly exhaled.
Senami-senpai came on the court probably to expand the score. Shirabu thought that from the perspective of serving alone, he was indeed behind Senami-senpai and Kenjo. However, the strength of the entire team was the real strength. Shirabu put his hand to his mouth and made a megaphone gesture: "Senior, serve well!"
"Senior, please serve the ball well--" Taichi Kawanishi, who was standing in the back row, also shouted.
Senmi pursed his lips and smiled.
Then he looked at Qingcheng's defensive posture and restrained his smile. After the volleyball bounced twice on the ground, he casually spun it on his fingertips for a few seconds.
"Oh!" Hinata seemed to have suddenly discovered something, "This action is similar to Kenjo-nii!"
Shinomiya disagreed with this statement: "Shinichi-kun would be more exaggerated and would make more turns."
He had a devilish look on his face and crossed his arms: "Watch carefully, little devil."
Midorikawa: ...
Are you a pervert, squad leader?
Hinata's eyes were small, and Xiaoxia was also looking at Shinomiya. It was obvious that she didn't understand why her brother suddenly started to preach science seriously.
Midorikawa: "It's okay Hinata, don't worry about him, it's just a move to keep the feel."
Hinata: "Okay!"
In the sight, Senmi Eita licked his lips slightly, and then as the whistle ended, he quickly threw the ball and jumped, hitting the ball hard with his arm.
"No-contact serve scores—!" the commentator shouted, "Shiratorizawa's second-year player, Senmi Eita, the key server, has widened the score again!"
The silence in the stands near Qingcheng was finally broken. "What a perfect posture," Xiaoshan said. "How many amazing setters are there in Shiratorizawa?"
Kaito laughed at that, "It's almost like releasing a Pokémon."
But since he was a third-year, he had more to say. His smile faded, "Senami and Shiratorizawa have different philosophies. When he played against us before, he forgot Coach Washi Takumi's arrangements several times."
To be honest, that kind of solo blocking was what surprised him more, but at that time, Shiratorizawa preferred to focus on Ushijima. Now, Kaito thought for a few seconds and tapped his hands, "Senami's burden has become heavier."
He has to serve as the server and also rotate with the second setter... What an amazing senior, for Shiratorizawa.
"Good shot!" Setimi clenched his fist and the smile on his face grew wider.
Then, the voice of his teammates came to his ears. Tendou, who was standing on the court, swayed and said in a light tone, "One more ball - semisemi~"
Senmi: ...
A well symbol appeared above Senmi's head.
"Didn't you say you shouldn't call me that anymore?" Senmi clutched the volleyball she had just taken. "Senmi, Senmi, what do you mean? Shut up."
It has been a while since he heard Tendou call him by this name, and now in public, his habit has come back again. Seto took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again.
Jiancheng looked over with curiosity.
Senmi: ...
He's the one we're guarding against!
It's bad enough that he doesn't call his senior properly all day long, and he even tolerates giving him an English name. But if he imitates Tendou and uses strange reduplicated sounds, Senmi's mouth will twitch, and he will think that he is going to twist Kenjo Shinichi's head off.
The next second, Jian Cheng seemed to sense something and tilted his head, "Abi Abi~?"
The tone was exactly the same as when Tendou called him Seni Seni, it was exactly copied.
Senmi: ...
Senmi took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm. They were on the court now and couldn't hit anyone with the ball. He would do it during training.
Tian Tong completely ignored him and pretended to let Jian Cheng Xinyi come closer, "Hey Xinyi, the ending tone just now should be raised a little bit, come and follow me, semi--"
Jiancheng opened his mouth: "semi——"
Tendou's eyes lit up. "That's great! That's the feeling. When Eita finishes serving, I'll praise him like this and ask him to hit another one."
Jian Cheng raised his hand to the air and clenched his fist, his expression extremely serious: "Okay."
Tendou showed a teachable look and gave a thumbs up to Seni Eita who was at the serving point, meaning that he could serve with confidence and leave the rest to them.
Senmi: ...
Semi took a deep breath.
You're done looking back!
It’s over!
Senmi Eita gritted his teeth.
In the stands, Midorikawa and his group were completely silent.
"What were you doing just now!" Finally, it was Shinomiya who broke the silence. He took out a handkerchief he had found from somewhere (Midorikawa was really curious) and started biting it. "Go Shinichi-kun, are you doing it? Great!"
The remaining few people: ...
Even Hinata tilted her head slightly, looking at Kenjo on the field in confusion, then at Shinomiya, and finally opened her mouth but still said nothing. After looking at Midorikawa beside her, she sat like an elementary school student and decided that it would be better to focus on the game.
Midorikawa sighed.
There is no hope for this guy Sigong. He has been completely converted by Jiancheng.
And that wasn't just adding fuel, it was just fanning the flames! There's a raging fire behind Senmi-senpai! Terrifying! Terrifying! I never thought Tendo-senpai would actually push Kenjo into a sea of fire. You wouldn't be able to tell that normally!
Now he even wants to pray for Jiancheng...
Amen.
Don't trust Senior Tiantong! Jiancheng!
Midorikawa put his hands together.
*
After Senmi Eita scored two points, he was picked up by Qingcheng's libero. Then, with a pass from Oikawa, Iwaizumi held his breath and spiked the ball to score, "Good!!"
Really, after he shouted this, he put his hands on his hips and looked at Shiratorizawa over there, and found that Senmi, who had just been substituted in, remained strangely calm and went around behind Kenshiro Shinichi.
Then……
Then he put his hand around the opponent's neck and performed a standard strangulation move.
Iwaizumi:……
He suddenly remembered the scene where the red-haired outside hitter was seriously teaching Kenjo Shinichi to call his senior's name, and the frustration that had risen due to the widening score gap suddenly dissipated.
"This aspect of yours is surprisingly tough, Shiratorizawa," Iwaizumi thought expressionlessly, his twitching lips the only thing that betrayed his inner feelings.
Then he patted Hanamaki on the back and said, "Get ready to serve."
Hanamaki was still immersed in watching the Shiratorizawa mini-theater. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he realized, "...Okay."
As he walked towards the serving point with the ball, he shrugged his shoulders and couldn't suppress his smile.
What was that expression on number 9 just now!
His eyes rolled up, wide open, and he was patting Senmi's arm.
He had a silly face that said "I can't breathe, let go quickly". If it weren't for his good looks, I don't know what kind of facial expressions he would have made. It was so funny. Hanamaki didn't stop holding back his laughter while waiting for the serve.
*
The farmer, who was finally released and able to breathe, found that his health bar was reduced by a small part because of Abigail's attack.
He touched his still aching throat and looked at Tiantong Jue with an accusing look.
The other party was whistling and preparing to receive the serve. He looked left and right but didn't dare to look at him.
farmer:……
The farmer fell into deep thought.
Could this be the effect of the legendary monster perfume? !
But why did his teammates attack him?
The farmer, male, a first-year student at Shiratorizawa, doesn't understand.
