This time, the speed at which Bokuto's "negative mode" came on was not only beyond the expectations of the players in Otoya, but also beyond the expectations of Oikawa Toru and Akashi Asuka.
"This is what you call Kotaro Bokuto's 'negative mode'. Why does it appear so quickly?" Oikawa Tetsu said with a shocked expression.
Akashi Asuka had already told all the information he knew before this game. Of course, even if he didn't actually tell him, Oikawa Tooru, who watched the game video most of the night last night, also discovered the pattern of Bokuto's state fluctuations.
.
However, neither Akashi Asuka nor Oikawa Toru expected that the opponent's "negative mode" would come on so quickly in this match, disrupting their initial plans.
"Um~~Maybe, maybe, maybe I have a little bit of responsibility in it!" Akashi Asuka was also a little unconfident by this sudden situation.
Oikawa Tetsu was speechless: "...Then, do you want to advance the plan now?"
Akashi Asuka nodded helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way."
······
Mutu's mood swings did not affect the overall situation of the game.
The referee on the edge of the block, like a robot with no emotion, coldly blew the whistle to continue the game.
Qingcheng continues to serve.
Although the "ace" of Kotaro Kotaro has been lost, the entire team in Owl Valley is still running smoothly, as if the presence or absence of the "ace" of Kotaro Kotaro has no impact on the team.
Kyōji Akao received a pass from the free man and made a time difference to get past Kindaichi.
And perhaps it was because Akashi Asuka blocked Kotaro Bokuto with the first ball. Although he did it unintentionally, Akae Keiji still chose to avoid Akashi Asuka and passed the volleyball to the hands of No. 12 deputy attacker O Nagasuba.
Make a breakthrough from the direction of Oikawa Tooru.
Seeing Oonaga Wataru jumping up in front of him, a knowing smile gradually appeared on Oikawa Toru's lips.
"Sure enough, once the ace enters the 'negative mode', will the team temporarily give up on him? Is it really an efficient and ruthless choice?"
Oikawa Toru opened his mouth like an instinct, first arousing his opponent's mentality, and at the same time he jumped to block the ball, blocking the straight path of O Nagawata's smash.
Bang!
Snap!
As a last resort, Ouchawa had to change his attack route and attack diagonally.
The result was that the volleyball flew back into the sky when it was caught by Watachikaji, who had been waiting there for a long time. It was an almost perfect pass.
Oikawa Tooru quickly ran into position, and at the same time, Akashi Asuka was also ready to run.
call out!
The two collaborated on a fast break.
Qingcheng's counterattack speed was not bad. From the first pass to the volleyball landing on Akashi Asuka, the whole process hardly took more than three seconds. But even so, when Akashi Asuka took off and spiked the ball, there were still people in Owl Valley who reacted.
No. 12's deputy attacker Ouchawa and No. 7's main attacker Konoha Akuki returned to defense at the same time and jointly set up a double block.
"Hey! The response is really quick!"
Oikawa Toru curled his lips, although he was mentally prepared and understood that with such a simple fast break, it would be almost impossible to get rid of the blockade of the top strong school in the country like Ougani Academy.
But as a setter, Oikawa Toru is obviously still a little unwilling to see his offensive line so easily seen through.
Four arms appeared in front of Akashi Asuka at the same time, laying a large net.
One pair of arms is high and one pair of arms is low.
The two taller arms completely blocked the possibility of Akashi Asuka's "overhand" attack. You must know that although this ball does not have Akashi Asuka's highest hitting point of 343cm, Akashi Asuka can take off sufficiently, so this ball is hit
The point is at least above 330cm.
At the high school level, many players may not be able to reach 330cm even if they take off for a run-up. You can imagine the content of this block height.
But this is normal.
After all, the owner of these arms, O Nagawa, is already 191cm tall. Although his jumping is not strong, as a blocker, height is far more important than jumping.
From a height perspective, it is obviously a more correct choice to attack from above the pair of arms that are much lower in blocking height.
But if Akashi Asuka really does this, then what is waiting for him is No. 7's main attacker Konoha Akuki, who is already ready to catch the ball, and another defensive player in the backcourt.
Even without an 'ace', the offense and defense are still watertight. This is the key to why Xiaogu can still stand firm with an 'ace' like Mutu.
but······
Bang!
Accompanied by an astonishing impact, Ouchawa's open arms suddenly seemed to be hit by some kind of impact and bounced back uncontrollably. Then a muffled sound of 'dong' was heard, and the volleyball hit the floor hard.
, and bounced high into the sky, until finally landing on the auditorium on the second floor.
【Score!】
[Qingcheng’s ‘ace’ Akashi Asuka once again used his cannonball-like smash to penetrate the opponent’s block and score points with unstoppable momentum. 】
The pupils of the players at Owl Valley Academy shrank suddenly.
Such great power.
Although they already knew from the previous match between Qingcheng and Senran that the opponent's "ace" was very powerful, they never expected it to be this strong. This is not the physical development that a first-year student should have at all!
This is the fourth time that Kotani has encountered such a situation. Even when Kotaro Bokuto was away, there were only three teams nationwide that could score points so easily from Kotani before.
They are Shiratorizawa High School, Kusaka High School, and Idayama Academy.
The "aces" among these three teams are the three "national aces" currently ranked among the top three in the country.
besides.
Even another "ace" who is ranked among the top five in the country like Kotaro Bokuto is unable to score points so easily in the face of Owlaya's defense.
"This guy..."
Looking at Akashi Asuka's back as it fell from the sky, Akami Kyouji suddenly felt an extremely uneasy premonition in his heart, and at the same time, a layer of gloom gradually appeared on his face.
Don't know why.
He always felt as if they were being plotted, but he couldn't find any evidence.
The faint sense of oppression emanating from Akashi Asuka was not strong, but it did exist. The coach shrouded the heads of everyone in Xiaogu, making everyone's breathing stagnant.
At this moment, Akashi Asuka slowly turned around, using his height that had grown one centimeter recently, he looked down at all the members of Xiaogu behind the block, and said calmly.
"Hey! Although I'm not one of the top "aces" in the country, it would be a bit naive if just one person wants to stop me!"
