Chapter 72: Shiratorizawa vs. Inarizaki (4) Match Alert…
If you cannot compete with the other team in serving, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you.
Serving and receiving the ball are like playing with dishes and chopsticks in volleyball.
At this moment, the difference between Shiratorizawa and Inarizaki is five points.
"Shinsuke," Coach Kurosu said calmly, "From now on, you will be responsible for observing the opponent's serving posture."
Normally, he wouldn't let Bei play in the first game. Most of the time, the opponent would play a stabilizing role in the second or third game, but today was an exception.
"Yes." Kita Shinsuke nodded in agreement, then looked in the direction of Shiratorizawa. He did not show any dissatisfaction with the blue-haired setter's interrupted serve. There was not even any special change in his expression, as if the Inarizaki in front of him did not have any so-called "strongest challenger" or "immovable king" or other titles, and there was only calmness.
It was as if he was being supported on a high throne, with his chin in his hand, watching the endless stream of challengers coming to hit him.
The sense of oppression is indeed very strong...
These calm players are usually very scary.
The brief pause was fleeting, and the Inarizaki cheerleaders gave the most enthusiastic cheers as they watched the players return to the field. Besides this, the only other sound was the Shiratorizawa school song.
Kita Shinsuke maintains the highest respect for all opponents, and all teams that come to this place deserve respect, nothing more.
Everyone has the same goal and everyone is an opponent.
Similarly, what is most lacking here is talent.
Kita Shinsuke took a deep breath, looked at his somewhat impatient juniors and peers, and then said gently, "Calm down."
"Shiratorizawa is not without flaws."
as well as.
“Please believe in yourself, our sweat will not be in vain.”
Inarizaki is a strong contender for the championship, so he will not fall here, he believes so.
——The interrupted rhythm continued, and Kenjo Shinichi served.
At this moment, the young man who attracted everyone's attention under the spotlight frowned slightly and spun the volleyball in his hand twice, as if he was trying to find the feel.
Seeing this behavior, the Shiratorizawa cheering group found their own rhythm under the rhythm guided by Inarizaki, and began to cheer for their own players loudly.
“Invincible—!”
The drums were struck twice.
"Invincible!" they said in unison.
Those who came to support with round fans also began to follow Shiratorizawa's rhythm, tapping the fans in their hands. There was a strange sense of order. I don't know who shouted "Victory in every battle" first and successfully led the whole team astray. In the end, following Shiratorizawa's support was the spontaneous cheers from the audience.
——"Victory in every battle!"
As if declaring his victory, Kenjo Shinichi slowly took a few steps forward, and then after the whistle for the serve sounded, he jumped up almost instantly, swung his arms hard, and after the ball was hit, he rushed towards Inarizaki at an extremely fast speed.
Finally, the volleyball was pressed on the baseline, which led to Shiratorizawa's score increasing again.
9:3
It's like the dominance of a demon king.
"How many times can you throw a ball like this?" Chirihui rubbed her frightened skin. "It's both scary and disgusting."
"... Really strong," Ginjima exclaimed, "And the control is so precise. I'm not going to get ten points at once at this rate."
"Then he's not human, right? Scoring ten points in one round? Seriously?" Chihuri complained, "Where on earth did this guy come from?"
"...have you been abroad?"
Kuroo in the stands heard Akaashi's explanation and opened his eyes wide, a little confused, "Did you return from high school?"
"That should be it." Akagi handed Kuroo a page about Shiratorizawa's entrance ceremony that he had found on his phone. "Someone uploaded a video titled 'Top Students Return to China.'"
Come to think of it, I can't believe he was the first in the entrance ceremony. It's good that he played basketball well.
Is genius really multifaceted?
Just as he was thinking this, Kuroo pointed to a comment at the bottom of the page and said in confusion, "Hey Akaashi."
When Akaashi came back to his senses, Kuroo's curiosity didn't seem fake: "What is this 32 points?"
Akagi:?
Finally, after studying for a while, they found out that the 32 that was constantly mentioned in the comment section was the Chinese language score of Kenjo Shinichi who was currently performing a dominating performance on the field.
Akagi and Kuroo: ...
As the saying goes, no one is perfect.

"It would be much better if we met him tomorrow." Coach Heixu suddenly sighed. The substitute players around him stared at him, but did not get the next answer.
Hei Xu Hou Zong stared at Jian Cheng Xin Yi on the court and sighed in his heart again.
If we meet this opponent tomorrow, we will be able to know more details about the opponent's serve, instead of just passively defending most of the time now.
Players all have personal habits when serving, just like beach volleyball players subconsciously shake off the sand on the volleyball before the game begins. As long as you are human, you will have habits.
But now the time is too short. Even if Kurosu mobilizes all resources, the information he finds in the end is of inconsistent quality, and the video footage from Miyagi Prefecture is also pitifully small.
So the time is still not enough, even one more day for IH would be better.
He sighed, rested his chin on his arms on his legs, and looked at his teammates' serious expressions.
If there is enough time, these children will have more time to adapt.
"That Kurosu brat must be cursing me in his heart for winning unfairly," Eagle Takuji suddenly snorted. "This is called a surprise attack tactic."
Saito:……
Saito: "...But you look very happy."
Of course, Jijiang was very proud, but he didn't say it on the surface. After all, Jiancheng had laid a solid foundation for Shiratorizawa, so it was great to have a strong server. Even using 42 would not weaken the offense in the slightest.
Or you could say—
"The strength of the serve is directly related to the strength of the team." (Note 1)
——The seventh goal.
"Float." Kita Shinsuke suddenly said as Kenjo Shinichi was rubbing the ball, "Step back."
The stance for receiving a float serve is different from that for receiving a jump serve. Before, I was not sure what kind of ball he would serve. However, watching the completely different movements of Shiratorizawa No. 9, Kita Shinsuke had a premonition that the opponent would serve a float serve, so he gave the order calmly.
So Akagi prepared himself to catch the floating ball early and then caught it smoothly.
“Next!!”
"Wow, the second goal after the timeout changed the situation. As expected of Inarizaki."
There were constant exclamations from the audience.
Miya You took a step forward and passed the ball to Alan who had already jumped. As the volleyball was hit hard to the other side of Shiratorizawa's court, the terrifying Kenjo Shinichi's serve was finally over.
The score jumped, Shiratorizawa 9:4 Inarizaki.
"Great dunk, Alan! Another one, Alan!"
"Go ahead, Daogao! Come on, Daogao!"
With this goal scored, not only the enthusiasm of the Inarizaki cheerleaders was ignited, but also the momentum of the entire team.
"What a reliable senior." Tendou put his hands on his hips, glanced at Inarizaki's celebration and suddenly said, "Actually, I'm quite reliable too, right, Shishine?"
Ohira Shion who was suddenly mentioned:?
Ohira Shion thought for a few seconds. In that short period of time, his mind flashed with Tendou's usual behavior, including but not limited to coaxing Jiancheng by saying that the coach hadn't come and asking him to put on his hat quickly, and watching Jiancheng eat berries on the ground without stopping him, etc., and then quickly said: "Not at all."
Tiantong laughed twice: "...Don't answer so quickly."
Seeing Jiancheng returning to his position, Tiantong waved again: "Xinyi-chan come here."
Hearing this name, Senmi turned to Kawanishi Taichi beside him and whispered, "...It feels like calling a dog."
Kawanishi Taichi glanced at Jiancheng who was walking over obediently, and was speechless for a moment, "Ah, a little bit."
Ushijima, who heard Senami Eita's words not far away, suddenly remembered that when he was lost before, Tendou seemed to have mentioned the equation Kenjo = puppy.
"So, Tendou actually treats Kenjo like a dog too..."
Ushijima Wakari, a second-year student at Shiratorizawa, was lost in strange thoughts.

Unlike the players on the field who were inexplicably relaxed, the cheering people had not actually reacted yet. After all, they had scored 6 points in a row, so it was inevitable that they would feel a little inflated.
"The serve is broken," Yunohama in the stands was stunned for a second, "I thought this ball could also score."
He really didn't expect to be taken down by the opponent.
Midorikawa accepted this situation well. He scratched his cheek and somehow felt a little relieved.
"Ah, indeed." In the final analysis, I always feel that if the ball had not been intercepted, my gaze lingered briefly on Jiancheng's face who had returned to No. 3.
I have a feeling... Jiancheng will definitely get into a big mess quietly.
It's not surprising that Midorikawa thinks this way. After all, there are precedents, such as suddenly serving a small pee ball or deliberately (at least it looks that way) serving the ball that can't go over the net.
So after struggling for a few seconds, Midorikawa spoke. Contrary to what he had imagined, he felt a little guilty when he spoke: "But of course, I also think that ball can be scored."
To make amends and make his words more convincing, Midorikawa added, "After all, Inarizaki's libero is very strong. They are the second-ranked team all year round."
"The strongest challenger, of course, is well-rounded."
"It's unexpected that Jiancheng's serve was broken," Kurokawa said with a hint of regret. "I actually thought that serve was beautiful."
Not only them, but other viewers who knew a little bit more also felt sorry for the float ball that was caught.
Especially Kyuuba, who initially put himself in Inarizaki's perspective, but later began to sigh for Kenshin's serve after the ball was received.
The live commentary continues.
"However, Inarizaki's spirit is also worthy of our praise. Even in this situation of being deeply behind—I believe they rarely encounter, no, it should be said that they almost never encounter such a bad start—they have remained calm and held on step by step." Sano said, "As we often say, you never know the outcome until the last moment. Let's get back to the exciting game."

Author's words: Note 1: Lines from the live commentary of episode 14 of the anime
ps: ...I wanted to make a grand entrance with 6k, but failed. Anyway, I was slow again.
PPS: There should be two or three more chapters (?) It depends on how I shorten it. I always feel that this game is too long (……)
Finally: I saw a boss say that if you watch the video tactical arrangements before the game, you won’t be too passive. Here I explain why I wrote this -
Maybe everyone might have overlooked one thing () Shiratorizawa vs. Kojizaka and Shiratorizawa vs. Inarizaki happened on the same day! (Played in the morning and played in the afternoon.jpg) So we know that the opponent was in a hurry, plus the farmer was a newcomer so there weren't many official videos, and some details weren't very clear, so this situation occurred (plus he cheated) (Hey) And there was also lunch break and food, etc.
