Chapter 166: Shiratorizawa vs. Owl Valley (5) (9k nutrient solution plus more) ^……
"Ushijima's opening game was fierce," Komori sighed. "Is Shiratorizawa trying to make a quick end to the second game?"
Sakuya was usually quiet at this time. His eyes were fixed on Ushijima, who was about to serve for the second time. Finally, he spoke slowly, "Ushijima is even more powerful than the last time we met."
It didn't seem to have reached this level before, because as a respected opponent, Sakuhaya was quite clear about Ushijima's strength, and the one who brought about this change... He rolled his eyes, and then his gaze stopped on Kenshiro Shinichi.
Frowning in displeasure, "That guy..."
Although he has no sense of propriety, I have to say that Jiancheng is a very good teammate. He and Shiratorizawa complement each other.
Gu Sen, who only heard half of the sentence and had no mind reading ability:?
What happened to that guy? Please explain it in detail, Holy Minister!
The free men of Jingta Mountain were anxious for a while, then they looked at the seat next to them and found that Igarashi, who had been sitting with them, was nowhere to be seen.
GOOMSON: ...
Goossen: "Have you seen Minato?"
Sakuhaya's expression remained unchanged. "She said it was too boring here and she wanted to go find Matsumoto-senpai."
GOOMSON: ...
Komori tilted his head, thinking that the relationship between Matsumoto-senpai and Igarashi was not very good. However, he had been Igarashi's classmate for nearly a year. Because of the change of sides, they were now closer to Owl Valley, so he knew what Igarashi was trying to do without much hesitation.
The boy with the pubic eyebrows sighed and laughed dryly twice, "He really is worthy of being called that."
When Igarashi was looking for Matsumoto, Ushijima's serve was received by the libero Otaketani. After experiencing Kenjo Shinichi's serve, although Komi was not able to receive the first ball, he was able to grasp some of the tricks of receiving the left-handed serve. On the third ball, he blocked the ball with his lower hand.
"Nice pass!" / "Good catch, Haruki!"
Kenjo is now in the back row and cannot go forward to block the ball. The ones in the front row are Ohira Shion and Shirabu. If the two of them block the ball, Kuroo-senpai should be able to break through. After careful consideration, Akaashi gave instructions from behind to adjust the attack.
'Highball?'
Although most of the time this is a means of requiring the main attacker or the setter to force a breakthrough when the first pass is not in place, Kuroo immediately understood what Akaashi meant.
His ball path was not too restricted in this game, but he felt a little uncomfortable no matter how he played. He did spike the high ball, but he didn't have the usual good feeling of "this ball is mine". Kuroo took two steps to run up, and then when the ball was passed to him, he spiked the ball with his right hand at the same time.
——If you want a big straight line, I will give you a big straight line.
【"pity!"】
Igarashi finally found Matsumoto wearing his hat among the many heads. Igarashi was the person with the most hats in the entire Jingta Mountain. For some reason, he brought several hats to this competition, but he didn't expect to use them in such a place in the end.
There was a voice of commentary and sighing in my ears.
"Tylenko fell into Shiratorizawa's trap. Although Ushijima's serve was received, the point didn't go to Tylenko, but instead played right into the libero's hands."
Shiratorizawa scored another point.
"Matsumoto-senpai," Igarashi said as he sat down carelessly, "Why are you hunching your neck?"
Matsumoto, who just said her name was Yaotome ten minutes ago: ...
Matsumoto:…………
He wanted to ask Igarashi if he did it on purpose, but seeing how cheerful the silly boy was on his own, he knew he couldn't ask.
Noticing the personnel changes behind them, Inarizaki and the others turned back. It was Miya Yu who spoke first. Inarizaki's second-in-command asked, "Are you the one who was running around with Jiancheng?"
Igarashi, who just noticed they were surrounded by their opponents, said: ...
Igarashi suddenly understood why Matsumoto Narimitsu looked at him with constipated eyes.
Igarashi, full of the spirit of "a friend dies rather than a poor fellow die", said confidently: "You have the wrong person. My name is Yaotome."
Matsumoto covered his only exposed eye.
Gong You was silent for a few seconds.
Gong You asked seriously: "Is Yaotome the code name for everyone in Jingta Mountain?"
The other twin noticed Igarashi's confused look and pointed at Matsumoto beside him with a calm expression: "The man you just mentioned, 'Matsumoto-senpai', also told us that his name is Yaotome."
Igarashi: ...
Far away in the hospital, Yaotome, who had taken out an apple from the fruit basket and carefully peeled it in order to atone for her previous shame and was considering whether to cut the apple into little rabbits, sneezed again for no apparent reason.
The apple rolled to the ground again as if it was stuck in a loop. The two holes dug on it seemed to be mocking the third-year deputy attacker from Jingta Mountain.
Yaotome:......
Yaotome:…………
Yaotome was about to speak when Kuroro predicted what he was going to say and said simply, "No."
Yaotome, who was still holding a knife: "...Oh." The silver-haired boy began to seriously consider whether Mercury was retrograde today.
Could it be that Yaotome showed an expression that seemed to know everything: it was the apple, the apple didn't want to be eaten by Kuroro?

After a short technical timeout, the live game continued.
"Ushijima's shot just now landed perfectly," the commentator said. "Kenjo also deserves credit for his perfect timing of the pass."
"But Xiaogu's counterattack was also excellent. That angled shot from Kurosabuchi was good enough to be included in a promotional video."
The score on the spot was not very close. There were about three players left before Kenjo Shinichi served. The focus of Owl Valley's attack was still on Kuroo. For some reason, in the second game, Shiratorizawa seemed to have relaxed his control over Kuroo in the previous game. The pressure was relieved, but it did not make all the members of Owl Valley feel slack. Instead, they felt a little uneasy.
"It's so weird," Xiao Jian shuddered, "I don't know why it's so weird."
"It turns out I'm not the only one feeling this way," Muye frowned and wiped the sweat from his face. Standing in the back row, he seemed to have suddenly taken on more defensive tasks in the second game. The repeated running increased the burden on his body, and the number of squats he had to do was also increasing.
Meanwhile, Huoshao, who had arrived at the scene, observed the scene for a while before saying to Tachibana Ukyo, who had accompanied him, "This is truly incredible."
Before Coach Tachibana could speak, Coach Huoshao said, "Kenjo-kun is deliberately feeding Xiaogu some difficult balls."
He thought for a few seconds and then changed his words, "Or rather, to guide Xiaogu to increase the number of times that Bokuto spikes the ball."
"...Kuroo-kun played strong offense quite often today," Coach Tachibana figured out, "plus he also had to take on defensive duties occasionally."
On the contrary, Ushijima gave up the style of play in the previous game today and returned to the tactics of Shiratorizawa in the early stage, reducing the frequency of attackers receiving the ball.
Because in the previous few games, Shiratorizawa almost always chose strong attack tactics against Odai and Fukuda, which made them ignore one point, that is, the other one in the double setter tactics, Shirabu-san, who has a serious expression at the moment, actually has very good skills.
If the skills are not good enough, such flexible switching tactics cannot be implemented. If any other setter is used, Shiratorizawa will definitely not be able to achieve the current results. From this point of view, this year, or until Ushijima's third year, Shiratorizawa is a top-notch ace championship contender.
However, once Ushijima and other players including Ohira Shion, Yamagata and others are lost, if a main attacker who can stand on his own is not added in time, after Ushijima and others graduate, such tactics will be greatly reduced. After all, it is very rare to find a player like Ohira Shion who is willing to cooperate with a main attacker like Qiangguang. Shiratorizawa's previous operation was like this gear.
It's just been dismantled and rebuilt now.
His gaze once again turned to Shirabu Kenjiro, and after observing him carefully for a while, he estimated that Shirabu's only weakness was strength and stamina, but this was made up for by Kenjo Shinichi. Being ignored by the opponent in such a system was not a good thing for the opponent.
It's like a shadow hidden in the light.
"Shiratorizawa," Coach Huoshao smiled, "You've really been reborn."
In fact, it reminds people of the catfish effect, but he really didn't expect that Mr. Jiujiang would be willing to give up the style of playing where the whole team plays for one person.
*
"Terrible." Matsumoto was stimulated by the game on the field and spoke subconsciously, but was inexplicably glared at by his teammate Igarashi.
Igarashi: "He's obviously very handsome!"
Shinichi-kun's attack is truly magnificent! Igarashi remarked this no matter how many times he watched it; the opponent was completely drawn into their rhythm.
If Matsumoto wasn't his senior, Igarashi might have already started to argue with him by asking him to return the hat, which was a childish way of arguing.
"How thick is your filter?" Matsumoto complained.
"With the amount of sweat he produced in the second game, if Kuroo didn't have enough stamina, he would have been forced off the court by now." Alan said. He considered whether he could perceive Shiratorizawa's tactics in that situation, and finally realized that he was probably only able to do so because he was a bystander.
To be honest, Kenjo Shinichi does have a strange magical power that can bring everyone into his own world. Now think about it, whether off the court or on the court, the other party is actually just being himself and will not be consumed by other people's reactions at all.
This seems a bit similar to Gong You.
Are all talented setters like this?
His thoughts drifted for a long time, and finally he sighed, "That's amazing, Jiancheng-kun."
Alan was just about to continue praising Xiaogu when Gong You beside him patted his shoulders twice.
"Don't praise him," Gong You said seriously, holding up a finger. "We're going to crush him tomorrow, why are you praising him now?"
"...You already think that we will run into Shiratorizawa tomorrow." Alan was speechless.
"Huh?" Gong You's double standards were clearly revealed. "That's different, but you can praise Amu."
Gong Yoo continued: "Just that alone makes me feel a little sad."
"Are you a scumbag..." Miyaji asked.
Just as everyone was about to calm down and continue watching the game, Igarashi excitedly joined in for some reason: "Master Shinichi will definitely avenge Jingda Mountain."
“…”
Because of this incomprehensible remark, everyone in Inarizaki looked at the silent Matsumoto, and the meaning in their eyes was clear - "So Ichiyama and Shiratorizawa are close friends?"
Matsumoto:……
Matsumoto's eyes were dull, and he looked a little dead: "I don't know him."
