Chapter 126 Winner and Loser Competition Warning
"...that just now..." he sighed subconsciously, "is that an angle a human can achieve?"
Now is the fourth game of the Miyagi Prefecture Harukaka preliminaries. If Qingcheng wins this game, they will play to the fifth game, but if Shiratorizawa wins, the game is over.
Honestly, it was quite surprising that Qingcheng won the third game. They had been caught in a physical battle in the first two games, and were visibly being consumed. Unlike a top-tier team like Shiratorizawa with three setters, most of their passing pressure was on Oikawa Toru... He was also one of the players who were exploited by the physical tactics, so the score being pulled to 32:30 was even more surprising.
However, there was also the reason that Kenjo Shinichi made a serving error. He served illegally in the third game. When he was trying to find his touch at the beginning, he subconsciously hit the ball with a lot of force, causing the ball to fly a certain height. The referee directly chose to penalize Shiratorizawa's serve for being illegal, Qingcheng scored, and the serving game was changed.
Oikawa didn't know what expression to make to him. On the one hand, he felt speechless, and on the other hand... Kenjo Shinichi was a fool, but he was not. After the serve was changed, Oikawa scored four points in a row to widen the gap, and when it was Kenjo's turn to serve... there was still a long time. In short, although he caught up with a lot of points in the later stage, this game was finally won by Qingcheng.
The fourth round that was going on now was not as clever as the third round. As soon as Kenjo Shinichi landed on the ground, two seniors pressed his head and rubbed his hair, which was already a little messy, like petting a dog, making it even more messy.
"Well done, Shinichi!" This is Tendou.
"...Well done." This is Baibu.
This shows how clever that shot was, and it was that shot that made the audience fall into silence.
——Small angle, backhand diagonal.
Or when facing a double block.
In order to prevent Shiratorizawa from making unexpected spikes, Qingcheng put a lot of thought into blocking. In addition to guarding against Ushijima, Kenjo Shinichi's style also requires people to guard him. Once Shirabu reaches the fifth position and receives the first pass, this situation will become particularly obvious.
As a setter, Shirabu is incredibly considerate of the team, not to mention receiving the first pass. A successful first pass ensures the entire team's offense runs smoothly. Since Ushijima-senpai was being double-teamed, he chose to pass to Kenjo Shinichi. Tendo also jumped at the same time, making it easy to play both a quick attack and a standard half-high ball. However, Qingcheng's aggressive main attacker also adjusted his footwork quickly...
The consequence of the sudden change was that Kenjo Shinichi's hand quickly changed its angle in the air, and his waist also moved. This action prevented the commentator and the referee from reacting in time. The linesman was slightly stunned when he saw the volleyball fall to the ground.
Press line, diagonal line, backhand.
Fake fax buckle.
It was just like the players who spent a lot of money in the game to pile up buffs for themselves. In short, when the score was announced, the whole stadium was quiet for a few seconds before starting to scream like a tsunami.
In just a few seconds, the setter demonstrated a textbook on-the-spot reaction.
"This is too perverted," of course, there were not only attracted spectators who came to watch the game, but also teams that had been defeated by Shiratorizawa before. The one who said this was Nakajima, who ran over to watch the game in the middle. Kawadari was dumbfounded and had a frightened expression.
"He," "Not..." "Is it a person? Really?" Fragmented words popped up one after another. If Nakajima hadn't understood what Kawadari meant, he might have thought that he had aphasia or something.
In fact, the central idea is just one sentence:
"Is Kenjo Shinichi a human?"
Nakajima took a deep breath and thought to himself that he wanted to know too. It turned out that he hadn't used his full potential when fighting them... No, it should be that they didn't let Kenjo Shinichi use his full potential. Now looking at the entire Miyagi Prefecture, only Qingcheng could fully stimulate Shiratorizawa's potential... But this kind of thing is irrelevant.
Nakajima clicked his tongue, looking at all the Qingcheng players sweating profusely on the field, and his mood became complicated for a moment.
It’s amazing that Qingcheng fought Shiratorizawa to this extent.

"Young people these days are truly incredible," Yun Quetian exclaimed with gleaming eyes amidst the roaring cheers from the stands. "I've never seen anything like this before in IH."
But it's normal to think about it... After all, it's impossible for people to remain unchanged in the past few months. Kenjo Shinichi is only a first-year student now. When he really grows up, he will be extremely powerful, which is unimaginable.
Tachibana Ukyo: "When he passed the ball earlier, I could tell he had great wrist flexibility."
So playing this type of ball is, how should I put it, unexpected but reasonable. A setter who can adjust to various serving methods and offensive routes always gives people a big surprise.
"The Seichen's wrists are also very flexible." Tachibana Ukyo thought for a moment and added, "So is the angle of the spike."
The training method must be adjusted... Yun Quetian thought that the original plan must be modified, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve the effect of improving them in a short period of time.
On the court, Qingcheng's brief joy of success in the third game disappeared completely, and the score in the fourth game was not in their favor.
Although Iwaizumi and Oikawa's consecutive serves caused Shiratorizawa some trouble, there were also hidden dangers. The score was only one point apart, and the most important point now was...
Due to the position, it was not yet Kenjo Shinichi's turn to serve, and the person serving before him was Ushijima.
Although the number of substitutions has been used up and Shiratorizawa cannot let the gray-haired key server play for the time being, the main server is still Kenshiro Shinichi... Damn it.
His gaze kept shifting from Ushijima, who was preparing to serve, to Kenjo Shinichi, who had no expression on his face. Oikawa bit his lip, wondering how to break the deadlock.
Coach Mizoguchi also holds the same idea. Not counting the technical timeout, Qingcheng still has one chance during the timeout, so Shiratorizawa is not useful - but considering their current condition, whether they can use it is still a question.
"what will you do……"
A heavy sigh.
"...Oikawa."
Kageyama, who was watching the game at home, swallowed the word "senior" at the end. There was no one next to him, and he shouldn't have said that. But the situation was too tense, and he subconsciously put himself in the team of senior Oikawa.
What would you do if it was him?
Kageyama stared at the screen, not knowing what to think.

Ushijima's serve went out of bounds on the second ball, and their score difference became one point. It was originally Shiratorizawa 17:18 Aoba Johsai, but now it is Aoba Johsai 18:19 Shiratorizawa. It's just one point, which doesn't mean anything.
Now that Ushijima's serve was out of bounds, it saved them the trouble of catching the ball. Thinking of this, Oikawa looked straight ahead and pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, "Good serve, Hanamaki!"
The ball landed between Shirabu and Ohira. Ohira Shion caught the ball and passed it to Jiancheng.
The moment Kenjo Shin jumped, Ikawa realized something, "It's the secondary attack tactic."
He caught the movement of Taichi Kawanishi running from the third position to the second position on the other side. He was planning to take advantage of the time difference, "Xiaoyan——!"
The long fastball was caught by Iwaizumi, who was defending in the back row. "Chance ball!"
Oikawa adjusted his movements and looked towards the already-jumping Kyotani. He then noticed Kenjo and Tendo preparing to block the ball. He had to break through his height, little mad dog, otherwise, facing the opponent's serve...
They are in a difficult situation.
It can be said that this is a ball of trust.
When the ball was passed to him, Kyotani aimed at the fingertips of the two men as if locking onto a target the moment he saw the block.
——"The opponent was hit out of bounds." Midorikawa clenched the headband that Shinomiya gave him in his hand, "19:19, tied again."
"That was amazing just now! With a bang, the king passed the ball to the short-haired senior, and then with another snap, it was amazing!" Hinata's eyes sparkled, "Can I let the seniors teach me later?"
Midorikawa scratched his cheek: "...Kenjo would probably agree."
Although he was the one who was infected.
Right now, I'm staring at my fingers without saying anything. I probably didn't expect that I would forget to react...
At this time, Xiao Xia, who had been staring at the court, spoke up, "Wait a minute, the brothers in blue clothes will finish serving. Is it Jiancheng brother who's next?"
Midorikawa was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, that's right..." That is to say, when it is Jiancheng's turn to serve, if he reaches the 20-point mark, Qingcheng's journey to the Spring High School this year will end.
The few of them stopped talking and turned their attention back to the competition venue.
——The next goal was scored by Shiratorizawa.
When the score on the field changed to Shiratorizawa 20:19 Qingcheng, Kenjo Shinichi took the ball and stood naturally on the serving point.
"...Really, this is terrible."
I don't know who accidentally said what was in their mind.
Qingcheng chose to use the last timeout opportunity.

…
…………
All around me was the uncontrollable gasping sounds that eventually turned into embarrassing coughs.
He bit his lip, feeling the beads of sweat and tears rolling down his cheeks and disappearing into his equally soaked team uniform. In the end, his sophomore year still yielded no success.
No... I looked at the score...
It’s a little better than IH, at least they won a game against Shiratorizawa.
Oikawa covered his face, trying to control his expression, then turned to look at Iwaizumi beside him: "...I'm going to the bathroom, Iwa-chan."
At least he needed to calm himself down before the silver medal was awarded, Oikawa thought.
"You, forget it..." Iwaizumi's eyes were red, but compared to the first-year students around him who were already crying, his mood was relatively stable. He patted Oikawa's shoulder.
He slowly walked to the coach and clapped his hands, "Get ready to assemble!"
"……yes!"
*
One of the two people coming down from the stands had a complicated expression, and the other was thinking about his words.
The somewhat collapsed Tachibana Ukyo stared at the people in Qingcheng who were obviously still sad for a while, and then looked at Yun Quetian who was now preparing to communicate with the Qingcheng coach.
The calm face of his head coach appeared in his mind again, and his serious words asking him to tolerate the national team coach's whims.
Ukyo Tachibana:.
Do you really have to endure this? Coach Fujiwara, he's about to attack a group of children who are still sad!
