Chapter 65: Shiratorizawa vs. Kozaka (4) Match Alert...
"Invincible! Shiratorizawa!" As soon as the second round began, the cheerleaders began to cheer, accompanied by the rhythm of the drums, "Today's battle! Kozaka High School!"
"Izaka High School!"
"Please give me your guidance!"
Uniform, yet powerful.
“Please give me some advice!!”
Huwang stood at the serving point, feeling somewhat helpless, and thought to himself that he had indeed received some instruction.
Shiratorizawa's cheering group is a rare large-scale support group in high schools. Looking across the country, only Rakuzan and Inarizaki's cheering teams can compare with Shiratorizawa. Although compared with the other two teams, Shiratorizawa's support is already a very "friendly" type, thinking of this, Xunwang couldn't help but shudder. Sure enough, compared with Inarizaki, Shiratorizawa is still better.
After all, if it were Inarizaki, it wouldn't be "Please give me your advice" but "Yo Lu Shi Ku" (Note 1). But of course, it's not much better now! That setter is staring at him!
From Xunwang's perspective, he could only see Jiancheng staring at him in the front row with an expressionless face. It felt as if the words "waste" were written on the left side of his cheek and "in the way" were written on the right side, with the words "hurry up" written across his forehead. Ah, in just a few seconds, he seemed to have let out a tut.
(Just lamenting the arrival of another monster floor farmer:?)
Hope: ...
There are more difficult characters in Shiratorizawa.
But there is no time to think about so many things now. Xunwang sent the ball out with force, and it was caught by Shiratorizawa's libero with a diving catch.
However, the ball was obviously not received well, and it flew directly over the block and was about to run out of court in front of Kozaka. Wow, a score at the beginning of the game, this point was stuck in his throat, because the next moment, Kozaka's eyes widened, "No way is this true?" As if in line with his inner thoughts, the live commentary also sounded at the right time.
"Catch it, no, a very difficult off-court save!" Kurokawa adjusted his earpiece. "Extremely agile, and perfect coordination with Ushijima-san! Even through the opponent's court, he still managed a great pass!"
Shiratorizawa took the lead and scored a point.
Jian Cheng ran over and high-fived Ushijima under the gaze of the others, "Nice."
Ushijima nodded: "Well passed."
Jiancheng: "It's the same when you play the game."
Ushijima nodded, and the two of them seemed to be on a completely different wavelength than everyone else. Tendou, watching from the side, began to pretend to cry to Ohira, "What wonderful children!"
Dahei Shiyin:......
Ohira Shion: "...Are you playing the role of a mother now?"
Tiantong Jue smiled and made a V sign: "No, I am a father." He looked very proud.
Ohira Shion choked.
Only Shirabu, who was substituted out, sighed. He finally understood what that bastard Jiancheng had been talking mysteriously to Senior Ushijima. It turned out that he was waiting here.

In the second game, Kosaka obviously worked hard on defense. Kenjo Shinichi's serve order was 4, and after several rounds, Kosaka showed extraordinary defensive ability, which made Shiratorizawa sigh that Huanwang and Yunnan were worthy of being the blocking players known as the twin towers.
Even the quick attack didn't win much praise. Kuroo's comment on this from the stands was—
"Difficult."
How can I put it? He is indeed a national-level player.
The score was very close at the beginning. As long as Shiratorizawa didn't widen the gap in the serving game, he would have narrowed the gap to two points and then been caught up by Kozaka. It was like a terrible tug-of-war.
In addition, because each ball flies in at least half the field for a long time, it is also a huge problem for the players' physical strength.
Grinding winced slightly at the horrific amount of sweat being produced on the court.
It’s still very scary.
No, he observed for a while and found that this obvious sweating belonged to the students of Isazaka High School. Momo remembered what Kuroo said in the previous game and asked for confirmation: "Doesn't Isazaka focus on physical training?"
Kuroo hummed in confusion, then realized something was wrong, "Their running in this game was a bit exaggerated." It was as if Shiratorizawa was deliberately draining their energy.
Kosaka was fooled by the setter's actions when he jumped to block many times. The empty net caused them to quickly consume their physical strength. In addition, it took a lot of attention to catch the ball from Ushijima, but if they didn't do so, they would fall into the vicious cycle of falling behind in the first game. From the perspective of comics, it was as if there was a huge rock floating above the heads of all the players, and if they relaxed, they would lose the whole game.
"What a terrible pressure." Kuroo said, biting his finger.
Miyaji, who was very close to them, obviously heard the conversation. He frowned and watched the game for a while, then looked in the direction of Miyayo.
Wow, this kid... Miyaji looked away.
His eyes are shining.
Perhaps noticing Miyaji's gaze, Miya Yu automatically triggered his defense system: "What are you doing? I'm just looking at our next opponent. Okay, it's either Kojizaka or Shiratorizawa. After all, we want to win the championship."
Miyaji: ...
After thinking for a while, Miyaji spoke up: "Didn't he say you were a fish?"
Gong You was originally watching the game with great interest, but after hearing this, all the bad memories came back to him. His expression immediately became very serious, and his words were gnashed through his teeth. "Don't lose to Kozaka. I will definitely let this damn brat know who is the fish on the chopping board."
Miyaji:.
Still calling others little brats, you guys are obviously from the same class, okay? As soon as you touch volleyball, your age will automatically decrease by five years.

Miyagi——
Hinata watched the game nervously. Although Shiratorizawa was still in the lead, no one knew what the outcome would be until the very end... and the players from Komazaka all looked super fierce!
It was summer vacation, and the women's volleyball team members who had been accompanying her in training were all unavailable, so Hinata's schedule for today was to rest at home - and watch Kenjo Shinichi's game.
Miyagi's commentary was a voice he was very familiar with, and now there was a hint of worry in his tone.
"Ezoda's serve disrupted Shiratorizawa's first pass," Nandushu said, his tone slowing. "When the first pass isn't in place, it really tests the setter's ability to adjust. The ball is about to fly to Besaka, and we can see that the players from Huwang and Yunnan at the front of Besaka are already ready to jump."
The next second, his voice became much louder: "He was intercepted! The Sword City player!"
Hinata didn't dare to blink, what happened to that ball just now?
At this moment, the video screen played back the scene very vividly. Kenjo Shinichi jumped when the ball flew over from behind, and then intercepted the ball that was about to fly over the net to Kojima with one hand in the air. Then he leaned back, and then Ushijima took a run-up to the second position and jumped to hit the ball in one go. Kojima's libero could only watch the ball fall to the ground.
Wow! Isn't this super cool?!
The ball landed in Ushijima-senpai's hands with a crackle, and was quickly hit!
Combo! So cool!
Hinata's eyes lit up, and the commentary's voice was now excited.
"After intercepting the ball in the air, he passed it to the second position with one hand!" Matsumoto shouted. "Perfect pass, perfect coordination. Kenshiro-san and Ushijima-san have truly achieved unity between man and ball!"
"This kind of tacit understanding that needs no explanation in words, this is the twin stars of Shiratorizawa!"
Just watching this game on the broadcast makes my blood boil. I can’t imagine how exciting it will be to be there. I really want to be there. Hinata bites her handkerchief.
——Stands.
The atmosphere at the scene was indeed just as Hinata imagined, it was completely ignited, especially the supporters of Shiratorizawa. Their voices had been a little weak due to the long tug-of-war, but now they had completely forgotten what tiredness was and sang the Shiratorizawa school song even more enthusiastically.
At this time, the people in Kozaka encountered the thing they least wanted to encounter.
It's the blue setter's turn to serve.
*
Before Miyaji and Miyayou saw Jiancheng Xin start serving, they received a text message from Alan on their phones. The general meaning was that the coach told them to stop playing and go warm up. After all, their next opponent, Xiaogu, was not a weak team either, and everyone was ready for battle.
"What a pity..." Gong You straightened up reluctantly, "I really want to fight them."
"Which one are you referring to?" Miyaji asked after hearing this. "If it's Shiratorizawa, we'll meet him in the next game."
Judging from this situation, it is obvious that Kozaka can no longer make a comeback, unless Kiryu Hachi rises up and dunks ten or twenty times on them.
Gong You thought for a moment and said, "I think both."
I did watch Ushijima's games in junior high school, didn't I? At that time, they said that they thought left-handed people were cool, and they even suggested, "Why don't you try playing volleyball with your left hand in the future?"
Kiryu is also a very strong opponent. By the way, can Inarizaki arrange a practice match with him?
But Miyagi is in the northeast, so far away, and there doesn’t seem to be anything fun to do there. Miyagi fell into deep thought.
Miyaji knew from his expression that he was definitely lost in thought. He patted his twin brother on the back and said speechlessly, "Let's go and capture Konagakure first."
Gong You: ...
Gong You was furious: "Are you a gorilla? Don't take pictures of me anymore!"
Damn it, he had nothing to think about. The only two thoughts lingering in his mind were the excruciating pain in his back and that Miyaji was a gorilla.
Kuroo, who witnessed everything: ...
Kuroo turned to Grind, "Should we go check on Tomi."
Otokoma defeated Hyotei, but lost to Tomi. They are all familiar opponents, so it is normal to want to see how they perform.
The Admiral should still be competing with Oudai, Kuroo thought, touching his chin. Besides, the distance is very close, and the end can almost be seen from here. It should be still in time to say hello to Kenjo-kun at the end, since they are in the same venue after all.
Kuroo's idea was beautiful, but Momo was a man without emotions. He calculated the distance to the half area of Oudai in his mind, and then coldly rejected Koujinran's request.
"No." Grinding was straightforward.
Kuroo: ...
So cold.

Author's Note: Note 1: The pronunciations of these two characters sound very similar in Japanese. The inspiration for this should be the scene where Yalian appears in episode 14 of the first season of Qi Shen.
P.S. It’s late again, damn it, actually this Yami is very ambitious every day to finish it after 6 days, but in reality, I only managed to catch up with 3 days on DDL, and I still owe 3 more updates (I fell asleep peacefully)
