Chapter 62: Shiratorizawa vs. Kozaka (1) Match Alert...
"Welcome to the IH quarterfinals, Shiratorizawa Academy vs. Kozaka High School, co-broadcasted by Miyagi Prefecture. I'm the commentator, Nandu."
Another commentator followed suit: "I'm commentator Matsumoto."
"There are less than five minutes left until the match begins. Let's take a look at the status of both coaches and teams," Nandushu said. "I believe everyone is familiar with Shiratorizawa Academy, representing Miyagi Prefecture. Coach Washi Takumi's iron-blooded coaching is also well-known there. As for Coach Kusaburo of Kozaka High School..."
At this moment, the broadcast screen turned to the coach of Isazaka High School, Michiko Kusashi. She was calmly making strategic deployments to all the Isazaka players, and her expression was unrecognizable.
Matsumoto continued, "Coach Jiushua's philosophy is that 'offense' is the best defense. I believe this motto also reflects her dedication to offense."
The next moment, the camera shifted to Shiratorizawa. The two people in the studio were visibly stunned by the scene. "Shiratorizawa's Kenshiro-san and Shirabu-san are really energetic..."
In the camera, Shirabu was standing with his hands on his hips, saying something to Kenjo Shinichi with a hostile look on his face. His right hand seemed to be ready to move. When he was about to hit the person on the head, the scene suddenly changed to the contrasting expressions of Ushijima and Kiryu.
"...Ushijima-san and Kiryu-san are both strong attackers," Nandushu said, quickly changing the subject. "So, the match between Shiratorizawa and Kojima is essentially a battle of spears," he continued. "I look forward to their wonderful performances, and I also hope that the audience, whether in person or at home, will give the players their warmest support."
At the scene, after the players from both teams entered the field, the whistle representing the start finally arrived as scheduled.
At the referee's command, the game officially started.
At Izaka High School, Usuri Mitsuru serves.
He took a deep breath, and the scene from the first five minutes of the show appeared in his mind.
"What luck," Yunnan said, hugging Uli with a smile, "We were the ones serving first."
"If Shiratorizawa strikes first, we're doomed," Ezoda said, covering his face. "I can't let Haruma face the Demon King directly."
Usuri protected his stomach and stared blankly ahead: "But, seniors, I'm also a first-year." He felt like his soul was about to fly out. How could they be so confident in letting him serve?
That's right, Usuri Mitsuru and Oo Shinshunma are both freshmen this year. Originally, the starting lineup should have been third-year seniors Kobayashi and Nakajima, but for some reason these two went mountain climbing for training and then both got poisoned by eating mushrooms, which resulted in them not even participating in the Oita qualifiers. In the end, they were temporarily replaced by first-year players. Michiko, the ninth grader, was also shocked when she heard the news, but the result was pretty good. Although the third-year players were unreliable, the first-year players were very reliable.
So the starting lineup now is Usuri and Oshin. Kobayashi and Nakajima were ordered to reflect on themselves. They are now sitting on the bench and even holding two cheering fans to make cheering gestures.
Yunnan patted Usuri's back vigorously upon hearing this. "It's okay! Losing points doesn't matter. Eight will get them back anyway, right, 'Eight Senior' in Usuri's heart?"
Kiryuhachi:......
Kiryu hummed and looked at Usuri: "Just pass it to me."
As if to appease the younger generation, he added: "I will dunk any ball."
Coach Jiu Brush held his forehead with his hand: "Really, it's this kind of personality that will spoil the setter."
You can dunk any ball, so I trust you unconditionally.
Usuri's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I'll try my best! Eight-senpai!"
Their ace, Kiryu Hachi, also has a rather silly nickname – the bad-ball terminator.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiubrush Michiko clapped her hands, drawing the attention of everyone in Kozaka to herself, "Go! I believe in you."
Time goes back to the present, Usuri Man slowly exhaled, it doesn't matter, he said to himself, it doesn't matter if he loses points, after all, there are eight seniors in front of him, so, just serve a ball that is neither good nor bad.
“Let’s get going!”
Uuri shouted, then jumped up and kicked the ball out with his right hand.
The volleyball flew to Shiratorizawa and was caught by Yamagata skillfully, "I'll do it!"
After observation, he passed it on to Kenjo Shinichi.
"Sword City!"
"That's a beautiful pass!" the commentator said. "The ball's been passed to first-year setter Jian Cheng. How will he handle it?"
Kenjo Shin jumped together, his body slightly forward, his eyes seemingly looking in the direction of Ushijima.
And Ushijima Wakari also jumped after a run-up, with his back stretched and his momentum high. Just looking at the posture he made as he was about to spike the ball gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Xunwang and Yunnan made a quick judgment and jumped at the same time.
Double block!
But the next second, the sound of the volleyball falling to the ground was particularly obvious.
What?
Uuri noticed the opponent's setter's movements and wanted to dive to receive the ball, but he was still a step too late.
"It's a direct spike from the setter!" the commentator yelled. "Shiratorizawa has used this move multiple times in this IH match, but Ushijima's jump still fooled Kozaka's block!"
"An unexpected move!"
Shiratorizawa 1:0 Kozaka
"Damn it." Ezoda stared at the blue-haired setter on the opposite side for a while and then gritted his teeth, "With that posture, who would have thought he could spike the ball?"
Kenjo Shinichi simply twisted his posture in the air and then spiked the ball.
Hondo sighed, "I should have trusted my instincts earlier."
He watched the videotapes of Shiratorizawa and Kanagawa Daiichi several times, and actually noticed that the other party seemed to like to take people by surprise, especially with the presence of a powerful weapon like Ushijima, but he was just a few seconds late.
"Next ball, take it back." Kiryu said, then looked at the somewhat frustrated junior and said, "Usuri, remember to pass it to me."
"Yes!" Uuri was stunned for a second before he regained his composure, "I will, Eighth Senior!"
According to the current booth, the first person to serve Shiratorizawa is not No. 9, but Tendo Akechi. The opponent's strength is in blocking rather than serving, so the probability of Komazaka being scored on quickly and continuously should not be very high.
After returning to their positions, everyone turned their attention back to the server, Shiratorizawa.
The whistle blew and Tiantong Jue's serve was successfully received by Wei Xin.
"Uli!"
"Here comes the counterattack from Isazaka. Who will the setter pass the ball to?"
Of course, Usurimitsu moved his fingers slightly, "Eighth Senior!"
Facing the block, Kiryu Hachi was not afraid at all, and then scored with a heavy spike!
"...He's really strong," Kawanishi Taichi said, his hands on his hips. "He's a main attacker on the same level as Ushijima-senpai."
"But then again," Bai Bu looked at the obviously guilty Jian Cheng Xin Yi and smiled brightly: "Jian Cheng, did you dodge just now?"
farmer:……
It’s not his fault. Oysters in the desert are really scary. It’s no different from seeing a long-legged fish running ashore!
The farmers tried to protest and were suppressed.
Shirabu didn't want to listen to his strange theory. "Whether it's an oyster or a shrimp, you can't hide. Really, why are you making the same mistake again?"
This kid Jiancheng always liked to dodge the ball.
Players who finally got over the shock of being suddenly startled by a bat/ghost/slime: ...
This time it's really different!

stands.
"It was a back-and-forth fight."
On a whim, Kuroo, who had just come over with his younger brother, watched the progress of the game for a while and said that he was standing at the top viewing point, holding a cheering fan that he had ordered from somewhere. He had tried to run away many times on the way here, but was unfortunately caught and not allowed to escape.
Things didn't get better until we got to the volleyball hall - because the place was full of people holding the same fans.
Grinding: ...
Germs? This person called Jiancheng is terrifying...
As he was thinking this, Kuroo stuffed another fan into his hand.
Looking up, I saw Kuroo was serious: "If he likes you so much, he might transfer here if he saw it."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Even if we don't transfer, it would be nice if we could have a practice match with Shiratorizawa sometime."
Grinding:.
Momo, a freshman at Otokoma High School, longs to leave this world.
Standing next to them was a tightly wrapped guy. He seemed to shudder when he heard Kuroo's words, then walked over and said, "Master Shinichi should have come to Jingda Mountain."
Kuroo:?
Kuroo: "Huh? You should come to Nekoma, we have grinding!"
Grinding: ...
Grinding tried to stop him: "Wait, Xiao Hei," He is obviously a fan,
But it was obvious that he was unable to stop him. The tightly wrapped guy came over in a flash and took off the mask on his face. "I don't care who this grinder is. Anyway, Jingta Mountain is the most suitable place for Mr. Xinyi."
Kuroo: ...
Kuroo was stunned for a moment when he saw this face, then he subconsciously said: "...Are you the deputy attacker of Jingta Mountain?"
Igarashi who sneaked out: ...
Igarashi quickly squatted down and said, "You're mistaken. My name is Yaotome Sama."
Blacktail and grind:.
This is definitely not the reaction of a normal person when being recognized!
Jingtashan had just arrived at the venue; their match was the second in the morning, and they were looking for someone everywhere - Igarashi said he was going to the bathroom and then disappeared, while Yaotome was apologizing to Sakuhaya.
"I didn't mean it, Holy Minister," he raised his hands, "Please forgive me just this once."
The first-year main attacker has been in evasive mode since yesterday, and is now hiding behind Komori Motoya and playing the Qin King Around the Pillar game with Yaotome.
Yaotome:......
Yaotome: "Honestly, Holy Minister, don't act like I'm carrying fifty diseases..." Before she could finish her words, she felt an itch on the tip of her nose.
It’s over, Yaotome thought, and sneezed.
"Germs."
The unfinished words were spoken at this time.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the junior who had been relatively close to him was now eight hundred meters away.
Yaotome:......
If he said that he was ambushed, would anyone believe him?
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I had a headache from last night to today, and then I kept sleeping. After waking up, I still had a headache and started to wonder if it was going to rain (because the weather has been bad recently and I often have migraines), but it didn’t, and I couldn’t find the reason, so I continued to sleep (hey). After waking up, I talked to my friend and found out that she also had a headache, but it was completely different from Yami. She couldn’t sleep because of the pain, while I kept sleeping because of the headache (hey). In the end, we all agreed that it might be bad weather ()
Finally: There should be another chapter, but don't wait, it might be posted tomorrow at noon () I'll wait until chapter 70 to give everyone red envelopes! Post owners [Keep it up] I was very happy to see so many comments when I woke up! So I kept clicking emojis (Hey)
