Saturday.

The weather was sunny and cloudless, making it a good day for exercise. Everyone in Shiratorizawa Volleyball Club returned to school at the agreed time the day before and began a series of warm-ups under the command of the advisor.

Washmaster Forji went to the door to greet the people of Miyagi University. Soon, the bus with the Miyagi University emblem slowly approached.

"Coach Eaglesmith, it's been a long time!" When the door opened, the first to come down was the coach who led the team.

The eagle craftsman shook hands with him: "Coach Shiliang, thank you for your hard work. ”

"Hey, don't be so polite to me, our team can find a lot of problems every time we play with you." Coach Shiliang smiled, "Recently, these boys have been a little floating, it's time to frustrate their spirit." ”

The two walked into the gymnasium while chatting. Seeing this, the consultant teacher shouted "assemble", and then also walked over: "Coach Shiliang, I'm also bothering you today." ”

"It's fine." After Coach Shiliang shook hands with him, Yuguang saw Ushijima Ruoli walking over, and smiled, "Ushijima-san, it's been a long time." ”

Ushijima bowed to him in silence.

'You look in good shape and it looks like you're going to have a good game today.'

"Wow, is this a college student? They all look tall and strong. General Hanhe Jiang Yong looked at the group of boys who walked in behind Coach Shiliang and whispered.

"It's okay, it's you who are too short." Ryo Hoshino, who was standing to his left, spoke.

Hanhejiang: "? "Isn't this guy you going to live without laughing at his height for a day?

"If you look at other people's workers, they are not afraid."

Hearing this, Han Hejiang looked at the five-color worker on the right, only to feel that there was a scorching fire burning in front of him.

Afraid? Inexistent. He even felt that this person wanted to rush directly to declare war on the other side. Fortunately, there is a Ushijima Wakari in their team to suppress him, otherwise this guy might have declared war everywhere, and in the end he would have to sweep the tail behind him.

Han Hejiang silently withdrew his gaze. As soon as it was interrupted, the greetings over there were over. The two coaches led their teams to each side of the court.

The eagle smith said, "Seven of you come out." ”

Seven starters were on the line.

"We served first. Hoshino, you stand in the No. 1 position, No. 2 Wakari, No. 3 Ohira, No. 4, Satoru No. 4, Kenjiro No. 5, Goseki No. 6, Hayato, you still replace Satoru. The eagle craftsman looked at them, did not make any other tactical arrangements, did not analyze the opponent, and only said: "Fight seriously, don't embarrass me." ”

"Yes!"

"Hoshino, five colors." The old man called the two first-graders again, "This is the first training match for the two of you, both of you have played before, and I won't say much." Adapt to the rhythm of the team and play at your level. ”

"Yes!"

The people of both teams are ready, the scorekeeper and linesman are the second-year players on Shiratorizawa's side, and the referee is the advisor teacher.

Ryo Hoshino took the ball from the hand of Oro Ohara, who played a friendship role in picking up players, and the other party whispered to him, "Come on!" Good shot! ”

At this time, the diagonal Tiantong Jue also smiled and said: "Ryo-kun~Send a good ball~"

Hoshino was stunned for a moment: "...... Good. ”

Coach Shiliang looked at this side from a distance, and saw the silver-haired boy holding the ball and slowly walking behind the end line.

Well? This distance......

Without waiting for him to think about it, the referee blew the whistle and signaled to serve. Ryo Hoshino put the ball in front of his forehead as he had done and exhaled slowly. Then take a sharp and deep breath and toss the ball high as you take the first step. Running, swinging his arms, he kept his eyes on the ball, jumped up the moment he was in place, bent his abdomen up, and arched his body back.

Hoshino's toss was a bit higher than the others' serves, but it didn't seem difficult for him, and he was in the right position almost instantly.

Then, he tensed his fingers and flicked his arms sharply. In the blink of an eye, the ball smashed into the opposite field.

It's a vigorous jump!

Coach Sera raised an eyebrow. Quite a strong serve, no wonder he was put in the No. 1 position. This student hasn't seen this before, is it new?

On the other side, in order to prevent Ushijima Wori, the libero played the starter directly, but Ryo Hoshino's serve was a first-time kill at any time, and the ball flew out without knowing anything about him.

Ryo Hoshino serves and scores!

"Good serve!" The people of Shiratorizawa shouted, "One more!" ”

Another big jump. On the opposite side is worthy of the college volleyball team, and the ability of the free man is quite high, and he catches a pass beautifully.

"I'm coming!" The attacker on the left shouted.

In the front row, Tian Tongjue's eyes turned, and his body was already moving. Ushijima took a step back to get out of the way.

Seeing this, Ryo Hoshino narrowed his eyes, took a step away, and stared at the ball opposite.

Sure enough, the opposite side chose the left side to attack, that is, the right side of Shiratorizawa's side. Tiantong Jue is already in place-

Block the net to score!

Shiratorizawa scores another point!

"Good block!"

Ryo Hoshino started his third serve. The ball speed is still unabated. On the other side, the libero picked up the ball again.

"What a pass!"

This time, Miyagi University's setter chose to attack on the right side, Ohira and Tendo jumped, and the net was blocked by two!

The attacker didn't shy away from it, and clasped heavily on their hands - he wanted to hit the hand out of bounds!

Ryo Hoshino pounced and saved the ball, followed by Goseki and tried to raise the ball as high as possible, and Ushijima stared at the ball, took two steps back, and then ran and jumped.

The ability of the absolute ace is that no matter what kind of setter, as long as he passes the ball in front of him, he can dunk the ball!

So he buckled it down and broke through the double net on the opposite side. But the opposite side also reacted extremely quickly, the free mermaid jumped to save the ball, and the setter quickly followed, organizing an attack in a short period of time and passing to the middle.

“ONE TOUCH！”

The five-color worker picked up a pass. The white cloth is in place and is passed again to Ushijima on the right side. Ushijima jumped, this time it was three people blocking the net, and he pressed his wrist - it was also a thug out of bounds!

But the ball was quite tricky, flying directly out of the hand that blocked the net.

Shiratorizawa scores another point!

"Good shot!!"

"It seems that college students are not so scary......" Hanhe Jiang Yong couldn't help but mutter.

"It's not that simple." Ohara, frowned.

Sure enough, Coach Shiliang on the opposite side spoke: "You boys, give me a serious beating!" Don't let the juniors see the jokes! ”

"Yes!"

The next ball, the Miyagi University setter passed to the attacker on the right side, and the ability of this attacker has been fully demonstrated in the attack just now, with great power and tricky balls. Sure enough, he broke through the double block again and dunked a beautiful straight ball.

Miyagi University finally broke Shiratorizawa's serve, and that was just the beginning. After that, the players who gradually entered the state showed their means, and the two sides went back and forth, biting the score.

During this period, Eita Semi served for Shirabu, but was quickly broken. Miyagi University also slowly demonstrated the skills of college students, and the difference of two points was nothing in itself, so Shiratorizawa's score was overtaken soon after.

Even so, the people of Shiratorizawa did not give up easily, and clenched the score. Ryo Hoshino finally saw the strength of all the members of Shiratorizawa for the first time.

Looking at all the selected players, including himself, four of the six have mastered the powerful jump, and with Eita Semi, it is five. Even if the trump card of Ushijima Ruoli is removed, the strength of the other third-year seniors should not be underestimated.

Not to mention Tiantongjue's predictive blocking, the main attacker Daping Shiyin's first pass, blocking, and smashing are very strong, and even the second pass is not a problem. The free man Yamagata Hayato's hair extensions and saves are quite beautiful, and even the strong jumps of college students can cope with them.

And setter Kenjiro Hakubu can surpass Semi to become the main choice, which in itself proves his setter strength.

Ryo Hoshino somewhat understood why Washikashi had arranged for their newly formed team to play this practice match. First of all, the opponent is a college student, which means that teammates will play most or even all of their strength to deal with this matchup, which is the fastest way for them to get to know each other. Secondly, it is to give these two first-year students a quick understanding of the tactical core of the team.

【Tactical Core】Ah......

Thinking of this, Ryo Hoshino cast his gaze on the tall figure in the front row.

Ushijima Wakari's offense was not inferior even when compared to the college students on the other side, which can be seen from the strict defense against him.

This is the strength of the absolute trump card.

Thinking about it, he dunked a ball from the opposite side. As soon as Ryo Hoshino raised his eyes, his body went towards the ball.

"Bang"!

The ball bounced off his arm. The first pass is not perfect, at this time, in order to ensure the success rate of the attack, the second setter will definitely pass to that position-

Ushijima in the front row had already jumped up, waving his strong arm and slamming it on the ball fed by the setter.

A nice slash ball!

The linesman signals to the bounds, the referee blows the whistle, and Shiratorizawa scores. At this time, the score of the two sides has come to 24 draws.

Ushijima Ruoli serves. The free man on the opposite side twisted his body and took the ball, and the second setter immediately followed up with the adjustment, a back pass, and the ball flew to the right side of the main attack.

The front row of white cloth and Tiantong double block, the height of the white cloth is slightly inferior, and the main attacker on the opposite side directly scored a point with a super hand smash.

The serve is replaced, and the opposite main attacker takes the turn of the back row to serve. After blowing the whistle, he tossed the ball, which was also a jump to be reckoned with, and the ball flew straight towards Ushijima Wakari.

This is to force Ushijima to disrupt their rhythm with one pass.

Ryo Hoshino and Ushijima Ryori glanced at each other and immediately stepped forward.

Ushijima took a step back, and Hoshino judged the path of the ball and stretched out his arms. But a second before the ball got closer, it suddenly swayed to the left.

“！！”

It's sidespin!

Ryo Hoshino thought instantly, but his body couldn't react at the first time, and he could only watch the ball fall to the ground.

Miyagi University serves and scores! Won the first game!
