Chapter 169 Inarizaki vs. Shiratorizawa (1) Match Alert...
"Inarizaki's serving first today," Ichiro sighed, watching Miya Yuu standing at the serving point, smiling and waving to the cheerleaders behind her. "I'm quite impressed by Miya Yuu's serve."
Among these setters, the ones he found difficult to receive were Gong You and Jian Cheng, and perhaps also Ikawa whom the National Youth Team met. But then again, the young boy took a look at the two teams in the game, then gritted his teeth, because both were opponents who eliminated them.
Kanagawa's number one draw luck is too bad.
"Inarizaki's No. 7 player, Miya Yuu, is a rare and invaluable setter," the commentator said. "He has a perfect grasp of both the angle and timing of his passes, and he plays an incredibly important strategic role within the Inarizaki team."
"I felt it during the training camp earlier," Xuan Mi said, "the ball was incredibly fast."
"But his jump serve isn't as powerful as his jump floater. It doesn't seem to have the same force as Kenjo-kun." Zenitsu thought for a moment. "One has a whoosh, the other has a bang."
"What a strange description," Kuroo chimed in, "but Miya Yuu's skills more than make up for it."
After all, as a setter, most of the strength is generally not as good as that of the attacker. Players like Kenshiro and Iikawa are hard to come by. What's more, the role of the setter is not only in serving, but more often in leading the game and controlling the attackers - of course, he did not elaborate on the last point. After all, "controlling others to use for my own benefit" sounds like the words of a villain.
"If I had to say, Gong You's serve is slightly less threatening than Jian Cheng's," Momo said slowly. "While the difference between the two is minimal in terms of ability alone, Jian Cheng's strength isn't just his ability to serve in a variety of ways, but his success rate on every serve is incredibly high."
"The same type as Ushijima, stable as a mountain."
Just standing there seemed to be announcing that he would continue to score points in a row. When he was in good form, he was even more terrifying. And from the current point of view, the lowest score at the start was four points.
The average high school student's serve success rate, or even the professional player's serve success rate, is not as terrible as Kenjo Shinichi's most of the time, so once it is his serve game, basically everyone is on guard, and they can't think of any tactics. The only thing they think about is whether they can receive the ball.
If you can't catch it, you lose everything.
The gap that widens too early will make it difficult to conduct normal games, and they cannot guarantee the rounds, which is why Shiratorizawa wins so many games with large scores.
"The ability to score consecutively is like some kind of strange buff."
"A description of the game?" Yuichiro didn't ignore what Momo said. Instead, he thought about it seriously for a few seconds and said, "It does."
To ordinary people, the operating mechanism of Jiancheng is indeed no different from that of an ultra-standard boss, except that the "player" character opposite him is sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
Or in other words, how to play it without weakening it?
Moreover, Jiancheng's strength is not only in serving. With the addition of Ushijima, Shiratorizawa has another key server - even if the serving strength of the second setter is unsatisfactory, it will not have any negative impact on the game.
Shiratorizawa was never a weak school to begin with. If they abandon their previous notions and add a buff, they will become a powerful enemy that is difficult to ignore.
"But this doesn't mean that Inarizaki's overall strength is weaker than Shiratorizawa's," Kuroo said. "If Shiratorizawa relies on two hearts to supply oxygen to fight, Inarizaki is a team that has always competed with Ichizan for the championship."
"Super strong."
Judging from this year, Inarizaki's strength will be greatly enhanced. Whether it is the Miya twins who have been known as the "strongest twins in high school" since IH, or the deputy attacker with flexible wrists, plus Alan who is almost as good as Kuroo when he is in good shape - maybe he can even squeeze into the top three. If Shiratorizawa gives up the serve, it will be a bit difficult to beat Inarizaki.
and……
"Both teams' cheerleaders are way too exaggerated." Kuroo folded his arms and smiled, looking around with some genuine emotion. "I don't like teams with super-large cheering squads."
He could hear the cheers of support that sounded like a battle. The names of the Shiratorizawa and Inarizaki teams were trying hard to penetrate his ears. To be honest, it was a bit noisy, but the serve was about to start, so he could bear it for a while. However, after thinking about it, he still expressed his concern for the yellow-haired boy who was considered his junior and the best in Kanagawa. "Are you okay, my wife?"
Zenitsu:......
Zenitsu wanted to say something bad about him, but he held it back, covered his ears with his hands and smiled awkwardly. After all, he was the type with sensitive hearing. Although he began to regret it at this moment, when he thought about his hateful elder brother at home who kept saying "You can't even dunk the ball" and "Are you a waste", Zenitsu felt that he could still stay.
"Haha," Zenitsu gritted his teeth and smiled, "I can do it."
Kamiyabe:…
What on earth has happened to this guy? If it were according to his previous personality, he would have started crying and calling for Tanjiro and Nezuko, and maybe even Inosuke, to beg Ichiro, as their senior, to release the person. However, this mature look of his now is still a little difficult for Kamiyabe to adapt to.
"Come on, come on, Inagaka is the best! Go ahead, go ahead, Inarizaki!"
"Inarizaki! Inarizaki! Inarizaki!"
"Miya! Serve the ball well!"
The Inarizaki brass band is still slightly better than Shiratorizawa's. If they didn't have so many people, if it were another school, they would probably have lost right from the start.
After all, momentum is also part of strength. Shinomiya, who was sitting next to him, had his fighting spirit completely ignited by Inarizaki's support. He shouted at Shiratorizawa until his face flushed and the veins on his neck were obvious.
Midorikawa: ...
So hard-working,
“Beep!”
The referee stood at the center line, waved his arm, and blew the whistle to signal Inarizaki to serve.
But after a while, when the music of Inarizaki was about to reach its climax, Miya You lowered his head, his face as calm as water, raised his hands half-high, and shook his open hands lightly as if he was giving a first shake to the conductor of the concert.
The music stopped abruptly.
This extreme contrast caused Shiratorizawa's cheers to freeze for a moment, and then the stadium was almost completely silent.
"...That's outrageous." Midorikawa put down the speaker, sweat on his face. "It's the same no matter how many times I see it."
Terrible dominance.
In comparison, Kenjo Shinichi's serve is much noisier, but this does not refer to Kenjo himself. After all, as a server, their Shiratorizawa's setter is still very quiet. However, the cheers of the audience on the sidelines will only become completely quiet when the volleyball lands with a terrible sound.
Then there was the cheer of rebound.
It forms a sharp contrast with Gong You.
"A serve duel?" he murmured.
After the venue quieted down, Gong You tossed the ball up and then hit it hard - the first ball was a jump serve.
"What a speed!"
Yamagata's eyesight naturally improved a lot after training with many people, but it was still a bit difficult for him to catch the first ball. He didn't have time to adjust when he turned sideways to reach the ball, and then the yellow and blue volleyball flew out of the court the moment it touched the libero's arm.
The ball landed between Ohira Shisine at number five and Yamagata Hayato at number six. The ball was so fast that the spectators outside the field exclaimed in surprise at the fact that they touched each other. Then Miya Yu let out a dissatisfied click of the tongue - the libero Shiratorizawa was much stronger than the last time they met. It turned out that we couldn't simply judge Shiratorizawa this year by the standards of last time.
They are not the only ones who have made progress.
Gong You thought as he slowly rubbed the ball in his hand.
He waited for the second serve.
"Sorry!" Yamagata shouted subconsciously, "I'm slow."
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's just the first ball!" Ohira comforted him.
Kenjo Shinichi was at the number one position, his feet moving slightly before he looked away. "Yamagata-senpai," he said, "when the whistle blows for the second ball, adjust your position half a step to the left."
Yamagata: "Oh okay."
At first, he didn't realize that the person who honestly called him senior was Kenjo Shinichi. Then the next second he suddenly realized something, his eyes widened a little, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Eh."
You have to know that Jiancheng and he are not very familiar with each other. Except for the time when the team was practicing receiving and serving, the other party was either hanging out with the first years or following behind Senmi. He has no memory of any scene where he had a good conversation with the other party.
——Most of the time he gets into trouble and runs around without saying a word.
And he had never asked for anything verbally before.
But since the juniors said so, Yamagata calmed down and waited for Inarizaki's second serve. As a senior, of course he had to listen.
Senmi on the bench smiled and said, "Actually, sometimes we liberos can be quite passionate too."
"Who?" Yunohama was a little confused, and it took him a few seconds to react, "Are you talking about Yamagata-senpai?"
The second year nodded. "Even though he usually doesn't show any expression, he'll still be happy when you call him senior."
"……so."
Soekawa: "How did you tell that, Eita?"
Seti stared at the field and said nothing more.
Over here, Shiratorizawa's cheerleaders also reacted and began to give the team their most enthusiastic support: "Go Shiratorizawa! Invincible Shiratorizawa!"
"The opponent is!" / "The opponent is——"
"Inarizaki High School!"
"Inarizaki High School!!!"
“Please give me some advice!!”
The atmosphere gradually heated up with the shouts of "Shiratorizawa, please give me more advice".
"Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa!"
The audience's enthusiasm was also ignited.
At this moment, Gong You served for the second time.
