Shiratorizawa and Jozenji were the first venues to finish the game, and as they packed up their things and prepared to leave the venue, a long whistle sounded at the venue next door.

Ryo Hoshino looked over there.

On the scoreboard, the name of the school above the 25 points is written with the words Date Industries.

His gaze swept over the group of people in white tracksuits, and finally the three men standing in the front row paused and withdrew their gaze.

The end of the match between Date Industries and Aoba Jonishi means that the top four in the left half of the field have been decided, and the right half of the field will definitely not be slow. Shiratorizawa and his party did not go to another venue, but directly took the bus back to school.

In the shaking carriage, the boys who had played two games in a row closed their eyes in exhaustion, and so did Ryo Hoshino. Although his mind was chaotic, he didn't force himself to cheer himself up and tidy up, and he would have a clearer idea after a full rest, he understood this truth.

After a while, there was a slight snoring in the carriage. Washmaster Jiji and Akira Saito, who were sitting in front of them talking, also involuntarily lowered their voices.

After half an hour's drive,The bus drove into the school gate of Shiratorizawa School Park。

Everyone got out of the car, and Washikashi took them to the dining hall to finish dinner, and after setting a meeting time, they were disbanded and returned to take a shower and rest.

An hour and a half later, the resurrected boys sat around the gymnasium, looking at the small whiteboard in front of them with serious expressions.

"As you all know, Date Industries is our opponent in the semi-finals. According to my analysis with Coach Washigaku, the team that may eventually enter the final in the right half of the field is most likely to be Karano. In other words, if we win tomorrow morning, then in the finals, we will face Kamino High School. ”

The seated Shiratorizawa players all looked at Saito in silence, and after a few seconds of pause, he continued, "Therefore, today's pre-match analysis meeting will include these two teams. First of all, Date Industries, which is famous for its ultra-high blocking nets. ”

He posted the information in his hand on the whiteboard, "These are the list of the first members of Date Industries this year." ”

"No. 1, green root high extension, 192cm [iron wall] core, good at follow-up blocking, although it grows very tall, but the reaction speed should not be underestimated."

"No. 2, Kenji Niguchi, the master of Date and the ace, is 185 tall, and he is also one of the [Iron Walls]."

"No. 7, Kanegawa Kanto, a large setter with a height of 192, can even be said to be the tallest known setter in the county."

Saito Akira's expression was serious: "If nothing else, the net formed by these three people will be the biggest obstacle in our game." ”

*

On the morning of April 3, Sendai City Gymnasium.

A brown-haired woman walked into the arena while making a phone call: "I haven't taken a vacation this month, since I said I came to watch the game, I just invited the whole day, anyway, there is a game in the morning." ”

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be very excited to say something, and the woman soothed: "Okay, okay, didn't you say that someone came to deliver the goods in the morning, you just stay at the convenience store, and it's not too late to come back to watch the finals in the afternoon after counting, it's a big deal that I will report the progress of the game to you in real time." ”

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'm here

Nursery is up. Without waiting for the other party to speak, she hung up the phone, raised her eyebrows and looked around for a week, and found a place with a good view to sit down with her previous experience watching the game.

A few minutes later, a person suddenly walked beside him: "Hello, may I ask if I can-"

The woman looked up, and both sides were stunned.

"Huh? Kumiko / Dean Yumi?! ”

The person who just came over was Yumi Hano, the director of the Chanyang Welfare Institute, and she smiled in surprise: "Do you mind if I sit next door?" ”

"Of course I don't mind!"

After Yumi Hanano sat down, she asked, "Didn't Shibasaki come with you?" ”

"There's something going on in the store, so he only has time to come over in the afternoon." Kumiko Shibasaki pursed her lips and smiled.

Two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time started talking word by word, and after a while, the cheerleaders not far in front of them suddenly began to cheer. The two stopped in tacit agreement and looked towards the middle court.

Seeing the boy walking in the front, Kumiko Shibasaki stroked his palm and said, "Our Xiaoliang is so handsome!" Yumi Hanno nodded approvingly.

On the field, Ryo Hoshino, who didn't know that they had come in advance, led the players into the stadium with a flat face, and was about to start the pre-game warm-up, when he heard a commotion on the opposite side, and then, a neat shout sounded in the stadium:

"GO, GO-LET\SGO-LET\SGO--Date !!"

The cheering voice instantly ignited the excitement of the stands, and the players of Date Industries entered the stadium and quickly began to warm up.

"Run——! Oh hey—oh hey—oh hey—"

"Shout out!!"

"Oh hey—oh hey—"

The neat slogan came from the opposite side, and General Hanhe Jiang Yong held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Aren't they really shouting trumpets in military training?" ”

Hoshino Ryoshi glanced at him: "If you look at them and don't move again, it is estimated that the old man is very happy to take a military training-style training." ”

“！” Only then did the small inch feel the gaze nailed behind him, horse

Begin to bounce on the spot, stretching left and right.

Ryo Hoshino didn't go with him, but walked to the referee on the sidelines, and the boy wearing the No. 2 jersey opposite him also walked to the same position as him.

"Heads or tails?" The referee asked.

Ryo Hoshino looked at Kenji Futaguchi, who said, "Opposite." ”

The referee flicked his fingers, and the coin spun in the air a few times, then fell back into his hand, and when he opened it, he saw that it was the opposite.

Date Industries gets the first game of serve.

The two captains shook hands: "Please advise." ”

Ryo Hoshino walked back to the team and told the others about the ownership of the serve. The eagle craftsman forged a moment of silence before lining up the starting formation.

"It's still the same as usual, Kenjiro started at the No. 1 position, Ah Gong withdrew to receive the hair, and Hoshino Nagamatsu moved left to reveal the perspective." The old man drew a briefly, "Date Gong's starting formation should choose to put No. 1 in the No. 4 position." If they had won the first game, then they would have used that tactic. ”

Washikashi stopped and looked at the silver-haired boy standing in front of him. The two invariably thought of the conversation they had at last night's pre-match analysis meeting.

Ten minutes later, all the staff were ready and the players from both sides took to the court. The referee raises his arm and blows the whistle after making sure the player is seated.

IH Miyagi Prefecture representative decided the semifinals, Shiratorizawa Gakuen vs. Date Institute of Technology, and the game began.

*

Date Ko's starting formation was a rare secondary offensive kick-off, but it was the same as Washator had guessed before the game. It's understandable, as this lineup would allow that Aone to play a full three rounds in the front row. Then it proves that they have the same idea as the previous game. With a strong serve and a strong block, he took the initiative of the game on the first ball.

Based on this, the sub-attacker's serve will not be too weak.

Ryo Hoshino looked at the serve player opposite.

It's a beautiful tactic, but it can't be successful. A goal to break Date Ko's serve, this is the instruction given to them by Washimi Forge, and it is also a crucial goal to win this game.

That is, to break through the [Iron Wall].

How do you break through the iron wall? The night before, the question of Washmaster Forge flashed through his mind.

To do this, the first thing you need is – a perfect pass.

"Bang!"

Date Ko's serve player scored the ball.

"I'm coming!!"

The five-coloredman stared closely at the ball that flew over and took it sideways. At the same time, Kenjiro Hakubu, who was hiding behind him, ran up to the front row from the sidelines on the right side.

The ball was weakened by the main attack and floated steadily to the position of the setter.

After a perfect pass, all that is needed is a high ball that is close to the left marker and slightly closer to the net.

- The higher, the better.

[First, before the iron wall is formed, attack directly, that is, win with speed. 】

Ryo Hoshino, who was running from the left sideline, took the final step with his knees slightly bent. He looked up, first at the white ceiling headlights, and then at the balls floating in the distance.

- No, it's not the ball that covers it, it's the person standing on the opposite side.

[But this is difficult, judging from previous matches, even if Aone Takashin chooses a follow-up block that will slow him down, his reaction speed and stride are enough to allow him to reach the block position in the shortest possible time. Before that, the only one who could completely outperform him with speed should be Wuye's weird fast attack. 】

He had a rather "vicious" looking face, both the white hair and the two barely visible eyebrows, which he remembered almost at a glance.

Aggressive face.

Ryo Hoshino chuckled inwardly. Then, he kicked the ground and jumped up with the reaction force given by the ground.

[So, let's come to the second method.] 】

The height of the white-haired secondary attack climbed with him, and almost instantly, the two of them reached a rather astonishing height.

Aone Takashin stopped, but Ryo Hoshino didn't.

[——Winning from a high degree.] Although the walls are high, you can see the scenery from the top of it. Then, the same iron wall used for defense should also be a truth. Just jump high enough to be completely unstoppable. 】

Once again, the ceiling light overhead came into view. Ryo Hoshino looked at the suddenly opened vision, and in just a moment, he saw the location of everyone on the other side.

[Then, the scenery behind the iron wall will naturally appear in front of you. 】

Ryo Hoshino twisted his right arm slightly before waving his arm. Then, without hesitation, he slammed the ball down!

The ball flew over the entire pitch from left to right, swept past a crowd of figures, and finally landed on an empty corner.

Big slash ball!

Ryo Hoshino fell to the ground. Across the net, one silver and one white confronted each other in silence.

"Beep!"

The whistle blew and the referee's arm pointed to the field on the left side of Shiratorizawa.

Silver took the lead in scoring a point!
