[Friends in the audience and in front of the TV, good afternoon! 】
[This is the Tokyo Gymnasium, which is about to host the National High School Students Comprehensive Sports Conference, the third round of the men’s volleyball national competition, and the semi-finals of the sixteenth round.]
[The two sides in the competition are Oita Prefecture’s representative, Kusaka High School, and Miyagi Prefecture’s representative, Aoba Jonishi Private High School.]
[Among them, Usaka High School is a regular participant in the national competition. It has entered the national competition for the 29th time in nine consecutive years. In all previous competitions, Usaka High School has achieved very good results and can be said to be a veteran powerhouse at the national level. 】
[Although their opponent today, Aoba Jonishi Private High School, entered the national competition for the first time, in the last game, Aoba High School defeated the top five 'aces' in the country with a score of 2-0.
Xiaogu Academy.】
[There is no doubt that Qingcheng High School is already the biggest dark horse in this national competition.]
[Because the next game will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers, let us wait and see...]
[The first player to serve in the game is still Qingcheng High School. Qingcheng High School has three heavy-handed servers. It seems that they really like to control the serving power in their own hands. This is quite different from other teams participating in the competition.
What a big difference! Mr. Oda.]
[You are right! Mr. Ohta, but the opponent Qingcheng faced today also has a very good serving ability. I wonder what the next game will be like? 】
Beep~~~
There were still the two commentators in the stands, and as the commentators' voices sounded, the referee on the court finally blew the official start call.
Qingcheng's starting lineup is still carried out by Iwaizumi Kazuo. Since the start of the national competition, Irimata Nobuteru has rarely implemented the strategy of starting Oikawa Toru and Akashi Asuka.
After all, although serving can score points, it also comes with considerable risks.
In the national competition, it is better to take less risks like this.
The volleyball flies over the blocker.
Kosaka's libero picked up the ball and passed it to the setter, and then Kosaka's setter passed the volleyball to the 'ace' Kiryu Hachi without any surprise.
He is 188cm tall, has a strong build, has four horizontal bars on his bald hair, and has a resolute face with a hint of fierceness.
For such a player, he doesn't even have to take a shot. Just standing there is enough to put huge pressure on his opponent.
Oikawa Toru, Akashi Asuka, and Kindaichi saw the direction of the pass and quickly moved in front of Kiryuhachi. The moment Kiryuhachi took off through the blocker, their eyelids jumped.
"So high!"
There is no doubt that Kiryuhachi's reach height also exceeds 340cm.
However, this height was not higher than Akashi Asuka, so the three of them were only slightly surprised, and then decisively opened their hands and jumped together. A huge three-person blocker was placed in front of Kiryu Hachi.
However, facing the blockade set up by Akashi Asuka, Oikawa Toru, and Kindaichi, Kiryuhachi didn't even waver in his eyes and directly waved his batting arm.
"Boom!!!"
The next second.
A deafening and terrifying sound of hitting the ball exploded in the ears of the three of them. At that moment, even Akashi Asuka's brain couldn't help but go blank for a second.
Immediately afterwards, Akashi Asuka and Oikawa Toru felt an unimaginable impact at the connection between their hands.
Faced with this force, even though the two of them had prepared in advance, the block was still completely penetrated in an instant. The volleyball passed through the block and continued to fall towards Qingcheng's backcourt with undiminished power.
Critical moment.
Watachikaji caught the spike route in time to make a remedy, but when his hands came into contact with the volleyball, Watachikaji's expression suddenly changed.
"So heavy!"
Bang!
The volleyball hit Watanaji's hands, and then bounced more than ten meters high, all the way across the adjacent court, until it landed on Court No. 4, which is a court away, and then finally slowly fell from the sky.
After receiving the ball, Watanaji Haru, who was playing in Qingcheng's backcourt, felt his legs weaken and collapsed directly to the ground.
A moment.
Everyone in Qingcheng was dumbfounded.
The surrounding audience seats were also hit by Kiryuhachi's ball and fell into silence.
It wasn't until several seconds passed that it suddenly exploded.
"Wow~ what is that? Such a hard smash."
"It's scary, it's even more powerful than Qingcheng's 'ace'!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can Qingcheng's 'ace' be compared with Kiryu? You know, Kiryu is the most powerful 'ace' among the top three in the country!"
······
【Appeared!】
[Kiryu Hachi's super fierce attack, relying on the super high school-level strength that can knock the defensive player to the ground, penetrated Aoki's two defenses one after another, successfully helping Kirisaka score the first point of the game.
】
[As expected of the three powerful aces in the country.]
“Eh~~~~”
On the Qingcheng Stadium, Matsukawa Issei in the backcourt covered his arms and suddenly shuddered: "This is too exaggerated! This kind of spiking power, I feel that even Ushijima can't compare!"
After hearing this, Asuka Akashi shook his head slightly: "Issei Matsukawa, actually you can completely remove the word 'feeling', because in terms of smashing power alone, Ushijima-senpai is indeed not as powerful as Kirisaka's 'ace'."
Kiryuhachi is the only powerful attacker among the three aces in the country.
Although Shiratorizawa's Ushijima Wakatoshi is also very powerful, in fact Ushijima is more of an all-around player, while Kiryuhachi in front of him is a real pure power-type slammer.
If we talk about the strength attribute alone and calculate according to the system data, Akashi Asuka estimates that Kiryuhachi's strength has reached 86, or even 87 points.
Real super high school level power.
Coupled with Kiryuhachi's unique smashing technique of "using his whole body weight to assist in smashing the ball".
In a sense.
Kiryu Hachisai is a player with absolute strength who can face three people blocking him as if he were nothing.
······
Oikawa Toru watched Kiryuhachi directly break through Qingcheng's block with just one spike, and couldn't help but grin: "As expected of the country, there are all kinds of 'monsters' one after another!"
"In this case, we can't sit still and wait for death. We should give them a goal right away."
"oh!!!"
Although Kiryuhachi's spikes were terrifying, Qingcheng's mentality was already different from the beginning after two rounds of national competitions, so it was naturally impossible for him to be defeated so easily.
Soon, offense and defense were exchanged.
The ball was served by Kizaka High School, and the offensive power was rotated to Qingcheng.
After the volleyball flew over the block, Watanaji passed it to Oikawa Toru. The next second, Oikawa Toru and Akashi Asuka immediately played a parallel fast break. The volleyball instantly came to the front of Akashi Asuka.
However, just when Akashi Asuka was about to swing his arm to smash the ball, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the block as if teleporting...
