Chapter 167: Shiratorizawa vs. Owl Valley (6) Match Alert
"I'll do it!" Daping received the ball and then passed it to Jiancheng.
The first pass was not very good, but the serve from the secondary attacker on Xiaogu's side was quite fast and the next pass was already very good, so the angle was not too critical.
So when Jiancheng passed the ball, he squatted a little deeper and subconsciously exerted force with his waist. From the perspective of the stands, many people gasped.
Hit a fastball? Tendo immediately received the setter's instruction and followed Ushijima's lead. As expected, Ushijima's jump instantly distracted most of the front row of Okitani's blockers, allowing them to block faster.
As he slowly descended, you could just see Tiantong pressing his palm down and spiking the ball at the same time as he received it.
The expressions of the two people blocking the front row of Xiaogu were not very good. At this time, huge cheers broke out from the sidelines.
"Nice dunk by Tendou Tendou!"
"Tendo, another goal!"
Shiratorizawa's cheering group shouted while banging on the small speakers.
"Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa!"
The banner with the words "Lion's Gallop" was lifted up and fluttered in the windless venue due to the warm atmosphere.
The commentator also spoke at the right time.
"Shiratorizawa's quick attack caught Owl Valley off guard," he sighed. "Ushijima, the main attacker, drew most of the attention when he jumped from the back row. Coupled with the exaggerated posture of the Jiancheng player, it was hard to predict what kind of shot he would play when the ball reached his hands."
"What a team with great coordination!"
"Good pass!" Senmi shouted from the bench after being substituted, "Good pass, Kenjo!"
"One more goal!" Tianchuan, who was also on the bench, cheered for his teammates on the field.
In the stands, Igarashi and Matsumoto became as quiet as a chicken after Inarizaki and the others finished speaking, and only applauded with the audience after this goal.
Although it seemed that Xiaogu had been badly defeated...Alan stared at the field and thought that they were having a lot of fun playing.
"Not a bad fight."
After a few brief exchanges, Shiratorizawa's outside hitter Tendo's second serve was received by Owlaya, and then Konoha passed the ball to Kuroo.
"The Konoha player's pass!" the commentator praised generously. "It's incredibly accurate, just as good as the setter's!"
[“Xiaogu! Score!”]
The score on the scoreboard kept changing, and finally the serve went to Xiaogu's side.
"Is it getting close to Jiancheng's serve?" Akagi suddenly asked as he watched Shiratorizawa prepare to receive the ball. "If he misses this serve, will it be there?"
Alan answered him. "Yeah," he hesitated. "But considering Xiaogu's personality as the first-year setter... the chances of him making a mistake on the first ball aren't very high."
Although Akaashi doesn't seem to be an extraordinary volleyball genius, anyone who has played against Okitani knows that his passing skills are not weak.
He is a strong person made by hard work.
"They need to work harder." Gong You spoke sharply at this time, "If it's Shinichi's turn to serve, things will become very difficult."
This is also the reason why most teams will think about delaying Shiratorizawa's serve when they meet Shiratorizawa - Kenjo Shinichi's success rate in scoring with his serve is always terrifying.
On the court, when Akaashi walked towards the serving point, Konoha suddenly remembered that there were times when he felt anxious because his mind was filled with "wanting to score" and "absolutely cannot lose", but in the final analysis, wanting to win was indeed inevitable.
But Akagi has always been very calm. Compared with Kuroo, Akagi is the representative of the word "reliable" most of the time in Owl Valley.
Now when it's his turn to serve, I can't help but feel, "It's okay, it's Akaashi." Although the opponent is not a complete genius, he has been able to get to this point more or less because of his love for volleyball and hard work day after day.
But what if Akaashi made a mistake...? No, how could he think that? He shook his head subconsciously.
"Konoha!" Kuroo looked straight ahead, his hands folded behind his head, "Don't think too much, that's Akaashi."
"We just have to wait for Shiratorizawa to give us a chance."
Konoha Akihiro: ...
Sometimes when Kuroo speaks, he really sounds like a fool pretending to be wise. Is he just pretending all the time?
The banners on Xiaogu's and Shiratorizawa's read "One Ball to the Soul" and "Lion's Swiftness" were both the result of parent-teacher conference support. Perhaps they are more or less similar to the characteristics of Ace.
A soul-stirring ball... Standing at the serving point, Akagi looked up at the lights on the ceiling, then slowly exhaled.
There was no need to score directly, as long as Shiratorizawa's first pass was disrupted. After thinking for a moment, Akaashi threw the ball, and then aimed at the position between Tendo and Ohira at the moment of serving.
As expected, when both sides wanted to receive the ball, their movements became chaotic, and in the end it was Yamagata who made a great diving move to pick up the ball.
"A sharp serve! A strike from Owl Valley's setter, Akaashi, disrupts Shiratorizawa's receiving order!"
"Even though Shirabu gave his best adjustment path, he's still a little short!"
"Chance ball!"
Washio shouted after squatting down to block the ball.
"I'll do it--!" Akaashi would not have enough time to pass the ball if he stepped forward now, so Konoha took on the task of setting the ball after thinking about it, "Kuroobi!" He passed the ball to the ace beside him.
“Good pass!”
After receiving the ball, Kuroo took a run-up and spiked the ball, but it was unfortunately blocked by Shiratorizawa's front row block. However, before the ball hit the ground, the yellow and blue volleyball flew tremblingly into the defensive range of the backcourt libero. Komi took a step forward and used her toes to adjust the volleyball that was about to fall to the ground back into the air.
"Good job on saving Xiaojian Xiaojian!!!"
"Come on, Owl Valley! Forward to Owl Valley!!"
The cheerleaders on the sidelines burst into loud cheers for their libero's hard work.
"Come again!" Akagi quickly ran to the position and signaled a staggered attack.
After receiving the instructions, Konoha ran to the fourth position, staggered with Washio in the second position, and then Kuroo from the back row joined in.
"Spiking the ball—!" the commentator excitedly said, "Everything happened in a split second. Shiratorizawa and Okitani launched a dazzling offensive and defensive battle."
"The final verdict is from the ace player from Owl Valley, Bokuto!"
20:17
Xiaogu's score was slowly catching up. Gu Sen followed the crowd to applaud Kuroo for his wonderful performance while glancing at the score. There was still one person left before Jiancheng's serve. No, if Xiaogu couldn't score consecutively or Jiancheng made a serve error, the game would be over soon.
"...Let's go." Sakuhaya suddenly stood up and said something abruptly.
"What?"
Before Gu Sen could react, Saku took two steps towards the aisle. His pace was not fast, as if he was waiting for him to catch up.
What happened? Gu Sen put on his bag and looked towards the field again, then he immediately understood why Saku was planning to leave.
21:17
While he was thinking, Shiratorizawa's setter was already standing at the serving point.
…
*
The final outcome of the match between Shiratorizawa and Owl Valley was that Shiratorizawa won with a score of 2:0.
*
The game was over, and Orushima and Shiratorizawa, the last teams competing today, were packing up. Although Kuroo lost the game, he was in a surprisingly good mood. When Washio asked him, he put his hands on his hips and laughed.
"There's no game I can't lose. I've tried my best!"
Washio: ...
Washio wanted to ask if Shiratorizawa's game also had a body possession function? Quickly return that Konagakuro who was squatting under the table to them!
But it was obvious that Kuroo was still Kuroo. He stopped smiling the next second and shouted, "Akaashi!"
Akagi was helping the logistics team collect towels and water cups. When he heard Kuroo's shout, he turned around and found that the ace player had a tense face.
Akagi:?
Kuroo waved his hand, "Go back and pass the ball to me! I need more training!"
Washio, who stood beside him and witnessed everything, said: ...
Well, this is still Kuroo, but after thinking about it, Washio still found it very novel. After all, Kuroo did not fall into a negative mode. Although he had an expression that could be called "lonely", he still adjusted himself very well.
Washio breathed a sigh of relief and patted Kyuuba on the back: "You've done a great job, Ace!"
Kyuuba was stunned, but it was obvious that Washio didn't intend to listen to what he said next, so he nodded and turned to walk towards the coach.
Kuroo was confused, but after a few seconds he showed an expression as if he suddenly realized something and walked towards Shiratorizawa.
In Shiratorizawa, Kenjo was talking to Igarashi and Miya You who came over after the game.
They were originally talking peacefully, but for no apparent reason, Gong You started arguing with Igarashi. One said, "In your eyes, is Jian Cheng some kind of fairy godmother? So sacred?" while the other said, "She's much better than a bad fox like you." Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and it eventually turned into a tug-of-war. One of them grabbed one of his arms and started to act like a millstone.
farmer:……
Farmer: "My hand is about to break."
But no one was listening to him, except for Kuroo who came to watch the show for some unknown reason and naively asked Kenjo Shinichi if they were playing a game and if he could join in.
farmer:……
No, there is no such game in either Star Valley or the real world!
In the end, Midorikawa, who was helping the team pack up and preparing to leave, came over with a terrified look on his face and rescued Kenjo Shinichi who was surrounded by three people, and received their gratitude.
"Little Green," the farmer said seriously, "I'll give you another bottle of pickled fish roe."
Midorikawa: ...
Midorikawa smiled awkwardly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Not really." Although the taste was not bad, the color was really weird, and he hadn't finished the one Jiancheng gave him last time. If he had another bottle, he didn't know how long it would take to finish it.
