"Audience friends, it is the first game of the Miyagi Prefecture IH Qualifier Finals, and the king Shiratorizawa drew the serve. Standing on the serve is No. 10 player Kenjiro Hakubu. ”
As soon as the commentary fell, the shallow setter raised his hand to serve. Although his serve is not strong, it is not easy to catch. The ball flew towards the middle of the main attacker and receiver position in the back row of Qingcheng.
However, Qingcheng's players were quite wary of this kind of serve, and only heard the main attacker Hanamaki shouting: "I'm coming!" Guo Jianying, who was next to him, stopped and watched him take a pass.
The ball flew steadily towards the setter's position. Toru Kagawa raised his hands.
Ryo Hoshino quickly swept through the current positions of all the attackers in Qingcheng. Two in the front and one in the back – huh? The main attack on the left side started to run? He couldn't restrain himself from glancing over there, and the five-color worker's body was already leaning that way.
- Nope! It depends on the setter's movements!
Ryo Hoshino reacted quickly. But it was just such a momentary distraction, and the setter on the opposite side had already caught it. So, at the moment when Ryo Hoshino retracted his gaze, he saw Kawatoru pressing his right wrist.
Set smash!
This sentence flashed through Ryo Hoshino's mind, and as soon as his body wanted to put it into action, a figure flashed at the edge of his vision. It is Waori Ushijima which is also in the front row!
The corners of Toru Kagawa's mouth twitched, and the ball had been cushioned. Kenjiro Hakubu, who was already waiting on the side, raised his hand to follow, and this first goal, as expected, was passed to their trump card!
Although he had just received a pass, the attacker did not hesitate. The setter's high ball gave him time to step back, and the attacker, who was fully assisted, kicked up and down, his well-developed arm muscles bulged hard, and the moment he reached the apex, he threw his arms sharply and hit the ball with the accumulated strength.
Qingcheng's three-man block became extremely vulnerable in front of this overwhelming goal, and the strong spin and power tore through Qingcheng's defense, and the ball smashed heavily into their territory.
The whistle sounded to the beat of the drums and shouts of the support group: "Good smash——! Ushijima, one more ball! Ushijima! ”
"Shiratorizawa scored the first point strongly with a smash from Wari Ushijima!" The narrator raised his voice excitedly, "It's worthy of being Miyagi's No. 1 trump card!" Ushijima Wakari - left-handed heavy artillery, worthy of the name! ”
On the court, Bai Bu served again, and after Qingcheng received a pass, Toru Kagawa raised his hand to make a beautiful back pass, and the ball flew to the main attacker who jumped on the left. Ryo Hoshino joined up with Goshiko at the last minute, and the attacker's ball grazed his fingertips and flew backwards.
“ONETOUCH!”
Yamagata quickly followed and passed the ball to the setter. At this time, Ushijima Wakari, who did not participate in the blocking, had already run to the No. 2 position on the right, and Ryo Hoshino retreated to the three-meter line. He noticed the white cloth in motion and ran towards the net.
Toru Kagawa looked at the two people who were running at the same time, and his eyes narrowed.
Is it Niu Ruo or a convenience store guy?
The white cloth raised his hand and passed the second pass.
This parabola......
Toru Kazukawa quickly made up his mind and ran in front of Ushijima Woryori, but he still didn't let his guard down. Because—
The video I watched last night about Shiratorizawa's two days ago flashed in front of me. The height of this convenience store guy's smash is not ordinary.
In the next second, Ryo Hoshino took the lead in kicking the ground, and he flew towards the ball and swung it
his arm. Toru Kagawa's eyes moved, and he immediately shouted: "Ah Song! It's bait! ”
The deputy attacker Matsukawa jumped quietly.
Sure enough, at the moment when he was about to touch the ball, the boy retracted his momentum and let the ball fly towards the attacker on the side. Iwazumi Kazuwa and Toru Kawa jumped to block the net, but the smash in the No. 4 position was still difficult to prevent, let alone the attack that returned to the advantageous position.
Ushijima Wakari slammed the ball, and the free man of Qingcheng flew to save, but only touched the ball. The left-hander's dominance was evident again, and the ball spun and bounced out.
Shiratorizawa scores in a row!
"I'm sorry!"
Watari kinji, who failed to save the ball, got up from the ground and shouted in frustration. The other people in Qingcheng all had a bad face.
"Okay~" Toru Kagawa slapped his palms and said with a smile, "It's not the first time I've known that Niu Ruo's ball is difficult to catch." Calm down, be cautious when blocking the net, and judge carefully before receiving the ball. ”
In just two sentences, the atmosphere in Qingcheng was not as stiff as before. Ryo Hoshino looked at the setter opposite, recalled the unreliable look that the other party usually showed, and sighed in his heart, "Sure enough, people can't look good].
Shiratorizawa served again, and this time Qingcheng's response was also easy. In the blink of an eye, three attackers had already rushed out. Ryo Hoshino stared at Toru Kazukawa's movements, raised his hand, and attacked quickly with a half-high ball!
He jumped up with Ushijima to block the net, but Iwazumi's smash was quite fast, and before the net could be formed, the ball had already broken through to the backcourt. Yamagata took a diagonal step to the right, twisted his body, and cushioned the ball.
One pass is not in place!
The white cloth adjusts the position to pass.
This arm is facing the ...... On the right side again?
Iwaizumi suddenly looked at Ushijima Wakari on the side, and at this time, Kenjiro Hakubu's finger pressed-
Damn it! It's a feint!
Iwazumi reacted at this time, but it was too late, so he could only watch the five-color worker on the left jump and smash the ball.
Losing points again?
- Nope!
At the moment when the five-color worker was about to smash the ball, four arms suddenly appeared in the originally clear vision. Unable to dodge, he could only watch the ball bounce back.
"Beautiful! Qingcheng was not disrupted by the menacing Shiratorizawa, and the double blocked the net to score! ”
The five-colored worker looked angrily at the fence opposite. Toru Kagawa squinted and smiled: "You can deceive my Iwa-chan with a feint, but you can't fool me~" He sighed with regret, "After all, Iwa-chan is too naïve." ”
Iwaizumi's forehead protruded a few tic-tac-toes.
"Calm down, calm down, it's still playing, you must hold back!" Kamagaki immediately comforted, "You can play after the competition." ”
Ryo Hoshino who heard this: "......"
Next, Aojo, who got the serve, was interrupted by a smash from Ushijima Wakari after scoring a point. But they didn't allow Shiratorizawa to pull the score, and two goals later came back again. Now the score of the two teams is 5:3.
And after Qingcheng went through two rounds of rotation, the person who turned to the No. 1 position at this moment was Toru Kagawa.
Looking at the boy wearing the No. 1 jersey, Ryo Hoshino subconsciously licked his lips. The shadow of the usual hippie smile was completely invisible on the other party's face, and instead there was a sharp momentum. The boy held the ball up and down and put it on his chest and skillfully turned the ball.
He took a deep breath and exhaled it
In an instant, the ball was thrown high. He looked up and watched the ball start running, landing firmly on the ground with every step.
Behind, Qingcheng's support group shouted in unison: "Oh———— ()"
"▎()▎『Come []+Watch the latest chapter+complete chapter』()"
The moment the cheers stopped, the ball shot out and hit the ground hard.
The stands were boiling, and Toru Kazukawa, who had fallen to the ground, clenched his fists and waved his arms: "Okay!" ”
"Okay - serve!" The commentator excitedly shouted, "Serve without touch to score!" Toru Kazukawa from the west of Aoba Castle! ”
Ryo Hoshino slowly exhaled a breath that he didn't know when he was holding.
What a beautiful serve......
But at this moment, what swelled up in his heart was not solemn or nervous, but actually ...... Excited?
Yes, excited. Ryo Hoshino only felt a stream of heat pumping out of his heart, and every nerve that flowed through him trembled inexplicably. This unprecedented feeling made his whole body excited. He stared closely at the boy who was serving again on the other side.
"Bang!"
The ball flew towards Shiratorizawa's field.
Ryo Hoshino, who wasn't in the back row, just watched the ball fly backwards and was picked up by Hayato Yamagatata. This pass was not perfect, and while adjusting the position, Kenjiro Hakubu's eyes quickly swept over the positions of all the attackers.
Who is this ball for? Ushijima-senpai is almost in place, and Ohira-senpai is on the left-
“!!!”
Thinking about it, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the three-meter line, and ran to the net in an instant.
With a "bang", the boy kicked the ground and jumped at the same time, and the white cloth passed the ball over.
Sufficient run-up brings enough height. In everyone's sight, the boy jumped up as if he had spread his wings, and flew to an unattainable height. His body was bent backwards, his muscles bulging, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
"Bang!!"
The ball smashed into Qingcheng's court with incredible speed and power, and then bounced high.
There was silence for a while.
It wasn't until the boy landed that the narrator seemed to find his voice: "Okay——!! Shiratorizawa's No. 7 Ryo Hoshino boldly cooperated with the setter with a fast attack at this time! Broke Toru Kazukawa's serve! ”
He paused for a moment and continued, "And next, Ryo Hoshino will rotate to the No. 1 position and make his first serve!" ”
At the same time, Toru Kazukawa, who had walked to his place, frowned slightly.
I always feel ...... That smash was coming at him.
Before he could think too much, he heard the referee's whistle blow, and the opposite side was about to start serving. He looked at the teenager standing on the tee.
And at this moment, Ryo Hoshino, who is holding the ball, is closing his eyes. The excitement just now did not subside, and the sound of a loud heartbeat ringed in his ears, tugging at his temples and beating again and again. He exhaled slowly.
Excessive excitement can make people lose their minds, and he thinks he will. But on the contrary, he is now conscious. He knew exactly where he was and what he was going to do.
The lines on the volleyball rubbed against the slightly wet palm, and the sound in the ears gradually decreased.
In the last second of the 8-second tee, the teenager moved. He tossed the ball directly in front of him and started running. I don't know why, there is an inexplicable sense of oppression in his run-up.
The last and biggest step, he flew with the wind.
Toru Kagawa stared closely at his movements. Suddenly, the man in the air glanced down, and their eyes collided.
Toru Kagawa was stunned for a moment.
In the next second, the boy threw his arm to smash the ball, and in the blink of an eye, the ball grazed his arm and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Toru Kazukawa's mind suddenly flashed through the conversation they had had in front of the convenience store.
[Actually, I'm very good at the level.] 】
The young man's sincere expression is still vivid.
Toru Kazukawa looked at the person who landed on the opposite side and gritted his teeth and smiled.
I truly believe in your wickedness!
