127

The weather in Tokyo is sunny in August. The sun is shining and the sky is cloudless.

The swaying carriage became smooth because of the arrival of the destination, and the originally quiet carriage gradually became a sound.

"Hanhejiang, hey, wake up."

The little inch who was sleeping in a daze smacked his mouth, and muttered a face: "...... Don't make noise โ€“ ouch! โ€

A cry of pain rang out in the carriage, and the others followed the sound and laughed. Hanhe Jiang Yong looked at Hoshino Ryo in front of him with a grudge, and the latter withdrew his hand calmly: "Do you want the old man to wait for you?" โ€

Han Hejiang: "......" didn't dare.

Everyone got out of the car one by one, and Ryo Hoshino was the last to get down. He looked up, slightly startled at the familiar dรฉcor. Shiratorizawa has always cooperated with this hotel, and basically chooses this place for every national competition.

When he was really standing here, he finally had the thought of "I'm here again" in his heart. However, this time is very different from the previous one.

His thoughts only wandered for a moment, and Ryo Hoshino's expression calmed down.

As before, after putting things away, they started Shiratorizawa's old project - running laps. After a long period of long-distance running training, Ryo Hoshino's speed control ability has also improved greatly, so there is no doubt that he is the one who takes the lead this time.

The person who runs at the front needs to take on the task of breaking the wind, which will be more laborious than the person behind him, but this force is nothing to Ryo Hoshino now, in fact, he is even distracted by other things.

A few days ago, after attending the pre-tournament meeting of the National Championship, Akira Saito took back the competition schedule as usual.

IH's tournament schedule is a bit different from Harudaka's, where the IH tournament day is usually three days, but with the addition of the qualifiers and the loser's repechage match before the official tournament, there are actually more than three days. The tournament has two venues with a total of six venues, and the qualifiers and the loser's repechage alone have at least 36 matches, which are difficult to complete in one day, so the two rounds are divided into two days.

The qualifiers, on the other hand, are not the same as those of the official tournament because they are only used for screening. For example, even if a school is a team from Division A in the qualifiers, it may be placed in another division in the official competition due to various factors, such as entering the loser's repechage.

It is also because of this uncertainty that the qualifier table can be very confusing, and sometimes there may be two teams that are good enough to compete for the title together. And Shiratorizawa unfortunately encountered this situation this year.

Municipal Sakae High School, the first team of Kanagawa, was also the semi-finalist of IH last year and the quarter-finals of Chun High School. A team that was supposed to meet in round 3 or 4 was met in the qualifiers. Besides, this is the first game, and it is against such a strong opponent when everyone is still ready to play.

When Ryo Hoshino saw this battle table, he immediately understood the reason why Akira Saito's face was not good. To be honest, even he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw it.

Isn't this sign a little too unlucky?

Even they are like that, not to mention the rest of the team. After knowing the battle table, the atmosphere in the team was much lower, and although they were soon left behind in the Spartan training under the Eagle Craftsman's forging, they were not in the mood for the game tomorrow

So as not to weigh up.

The two-lap run ended quickly,

Everyone returned to the hotel for a while. This time Ryo Hoshino still lives with the five-color worker,

Hanhe Jiang Yong is one with Akakura. The information about the members of the Municipal Sakae team was sent down as early as the day after they knew about the opponent, and after the evening training, Ryo Hoshino took advantage of the time for the five-color workers to take a shower, took out the information and read it carefully.

It has been said during the previous training camp that the team of Shi Lirong is a team with very average strength, and there are no particularly outstanding players, but whether it is offense, defense, or cooperation between players, they are not weak. In the final of the prefectural qualifiers, they won the second representative by a large score and obtained the qualification of the first representative.

However, this year, their new secondary attacker has a faint sense of showing his head.

Ryo Hoshino just turned the page.

- Yanagida Toshiaki, a first-year deputy attacker who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and Yanagida Tomoaki is a brother to the third-grade response. Although the two are brothers, their styles in volleyball are not quite the same. Compared to his younger brother's advance, the elder brother is more calm and more comfortable in defense. However, the effect achieved by the two together should not be underestimated.

Brother......

Ryo Hoshino couldn't help but think of the Gong brothers he met in the arena last year, but the latter's overall strength was stronger.

In addition to these two brothers, Naoto Hayama, the new commander of Ichishi Rong, cannot be ignored, he was already the starting setter last year, and he has become the main general this year -

"Hoshino, I'm done washing."

As soon as his thoughts broke, Ryoshi Hoshino raised his head: "Okay, I'll go now." โ€

"What are you looking at?" The five-color worker walked over and looked stunned when he saw the information in his hand.

"Anyway, I'm sitting, and I'll take a look." Ryo Hoshino explained.

The five-color worker nodded, not knowing whether he believed this reason. Ryo Hoshino didn't say much, stood up and took his clothes and went to take a shower.

As soon as he pushed open the bathroom door, he heard the boy behind him ask in a low voice, "...... Can we win? โ€

Hoshino paused.

After a while, he replied, "It will win." โ€

"-Gong, we'll win."

*

"-Bang!!"

"Good!! Tomoaki Yanagida of Ei City just now saved the ball to the limit and saved the ball that was stopped by Shiratorizawa! The setter Hayama reacted very quickly, and cooperated with the secondary attack Yanagida to attack the A-style fast attack! Very nice slash ball! Municipal Rong got the game point! โ€

The stands on one side of the pitch instantly burst into excited cheers.

Changsong Mengren casually wiped the beads of sweat from his chin: "I'm sorry, the net was a little crooked just now." โ€

Ryo Hoshino patted him: "It's okay, the first ball was well blocked." He looked up at the score.

- 24:21, a three-point difference.

"Hoo ......"

He took a deep breath to calm his heart rate, which had been boosted by his rapid running.

There can be no rush.

"Municipal Rong serves! Shiratorizawa made a good pass, and Shirabu passed the ball to Goshiro in the front row

Spike! Extreme Angle Straight Ball! Pretty! Shiratorizawa scores! The commentator paused, then said, "The serve is replaced, and Shiratorizawa serves." - Good! It's a top-handed floating ball from the setter white cloth, and this ball path is well chosen, but Sakae Ichori reacts quickly, and Liu

Tian Zhiming retreated and gave up his position to the free man to catch the ball! โ€()

I want to see Sheng Sheng's "Dead Life! Volleyball is a good job! ใ€‹? Remember the domain name of [()]? Come[]@็œ‹ๆœ€ๆ–ฐ็ซ ่Š‚@ๅฎŒๆ•ด็ซ ่Š‚'()

At the same time, the tall boy in the No. 9 jersey in the front row ran forward again. Ryo Hoshino saw the timing and jumped at the same time as Yumeto Nagamatsu.

"Blocking the net intoโ€”oh! The ball hit the edge of the net and bounced back! โ€

Changsong Mengren's face changed, and his body subconsciously chased the ball, with his hands cushioned.

"Good! Shiratorizawa reacts quickly! White cloth retreats, adjusts the position for a second set, long-distance high ball! He passed to Hoshino on the left side of the front row! โ€

Ryo Hoshino, who had already retreated, looked up at the ball flying towards him, his eyes were slightly condensed, he ran and jumped!

The ball hit the net and shot away, and on the opposite side, the boy wearing the No. 2 jersey quickly slipped his right leg, almost twisted one knee to touch the ground, put his weight very low, and met the ball without fear.

"Bang!"

Once again, the ball floated into the air.

The second setter, Naoto Hayama, stepped up to follow, and raised his arms as he ran-

Run and pass!

Where the ball was going, someone was already jumping. Facing the opposite double block, tap the tips of your fingers lightly.

"Drop the ball!" Ryo Hoshino immediately shouted.

Kenjiro Hakubu, who was standing a little behind, made a flying pounce, but he cushioned the ball and fell to the ground.

Shiratorizawa saved the ball, but it flew straight back to the field of Sakae Ichi! Chance Ball! โ€

"Liming!" Naoto Hayama shouted, ran to the right position, and waited for the opponent to pass the ball.

Seeing that the attacker had no intention of attacking, Nagamatsu Yumeto took a few steps towards the place where the ball was flying. However, Ryo Hoshino's eyes swept around the opposite side, and he immediately shouted, "It's still on the left side!" โ€

Sure enough, the setter, who deliberately stood on the right side of the middle, raised his hand to pass the ball, and the ball flew to the place where it flew again.

Yanagida Toshiaki, who was still there, took two steps back, kicked off the ground, and shook his arms cleanly.

Small slash ball!

Standing in the direction of the ball path are Ryo Hoshino and Hiroo Ohara. The former made a quick shot after judging the way of the ball, and when he saw the ball flying over, the faces of both of them changed drastically at the same time.

"Wipe the net!!"

After wiping the net, the path of the ball suddenly changed, and the ball that would have flown towards Ryo Hoshino was crooked and flew towards the rear of the unguarded.

Ohara quickly twisted his body and stretched out his arm-

"Beep!"

"The ball is on the ground! The wiping of the net just now was really unexpected, and it seems that the city was favored by the goddess of luck today. The commentator also smiled with some surprise, "Then now City Rong scores, that is to say, City Rong takes the lead in winning the first game!" โ€

"Beep-"

The whistle also sounded at this moment.

Ohara Yasuo, who fell to the ground because of the save, slammed the floor with a gloomy face, looking annoyed.

The players of both sides left the field, exchanged venues, and took a break for a while. At the Shiratorizawa field, the faces of the players were not very clear.

Originally, it was already very bad to meet the listed Lirong, but today it seems to be particularly unlucky!

Even Akira Saito didn't know how to raise their mood for a while.

"How do you win...... "Someone in the crowd muttered quietly

() sentence.

Everyone else is a meal. This is obviously their voice as well.

Just when the atmosphere is getting sluggish (),

? ()? [()]ใ€ŽCome[]#็œ‹ๆœ€ๆ–ฐ็ซ ่Š‚#ๅฎŒๆ•ด็ซ ่Š‚ใ€(),

Suddenly, someone spoke: "Just win." โ€

Everyone looked at the silver-haired boy who spoke, and the latter's expression was as calm as usual, not at all like he had just lost a game.

"That's how you win." He repeated slowly, "There are many cases of letting one chase two on the volleyball court, but you only lose one game, how can it be that the final win or loss has already been revealed in your opinion?" โ€

Ryo Hoshino, who was standing in the middle of the stars like a moon, looked around, and everyone realized that his eyes were as sharp as knives, and nothing seemed to stop him.

"How about the top eight in the spring high? What about the IH Final Four? Haven't we won this ranking? We've always had that kind of opponent on the field, but now it's just in advance. โ€

"Are we aiming for the quarterfinals? Is it the Final Four? - Neither. โ€

"We're here for that top podium. If you can't even defeat the opponent in front of you, how can you get the final victory? โ€

He looked at his teammates, and his teammates looked at his main general.

"The answer to how to win this game is simple."

"โ€”by you, by us."

The silver-haired lord looked at everyone in front of him with burning eyes, "And I believe in you, and I believe in us. โ€

He raised his hand and placed it in the center of everyone, and after a few seconds, the five-colorist silently reached out and placed his hand on it. followed by Taiichi Kawanishi, Kenjiro Shirabu......

One hand stacked up, like a mountain rising from the ground.

The last hand was forged by the eagle craftsman who didn't have time to speak.

The old man raised his eyes and looked at the silver-haired master for a few seconds, maybe more than ten seconds. Suddenly, he felt that the other person's eyes overlapped with the other person's eyes.

No matter what kind of opponent you face, you must have the belief that you can win. ใ€‘

[Because you are the captain, you must firmly believe that your team is the strongest. ใ€‘

Shiratorizawa won't lose, absolutely not.

Hoshino Ryo closed his eyes and shouted with a determined gaze:

"Shiratorizawa-"
