The two consecutive sounds were like hitting the hearts of everyone in Qingcheng. Everyone felt a flash of afterimage, and the volleyball had bounced back to Qingcheng's backcourt, and their pupils suddenly shrank.
"Actually, it was blocked?"
The person was in mid-air, Akashi Asuka also stared at him intently.
This does not mean that Asuka Shi's smash was not defended even once in the national competition, that is obviously impossible.
It's just that most other teams create obstacles through blocking, and then use the cooperation of backcourt defensive players to restrict Akashi Asuka's spike line, and then indirectly form defense.
And they were the first to block Akashi Asuka's spike with a frontal block like Kousaka High School.
【Stopped!】
[Qingcheng's 'ace', first-year Akashi Asuka's smash was completely blocked for the first time in this competition, and the player who successfully blocked it was No. 4, one of the 'Kusaka Twin Towers'
Deputy attacker Yunnan Keisuke, together with the No. 2 deputy attacker Yuwang, successfully formed two strong barriers for the Kosaka blockade.】
Wow!
The first spike was blocked at the beginning, which is obviously not a good thing.
Everyone in Qingcheng came over immediately. They seemed to be worried that Akashi Asuka's mentality would be affected by the ball. They asked with concern: "Hey! Akashi, are you okay?"
"It's okay! It's just that I was blocked for one goal. I'll just find a chance to get the points back with the next goal." Akashi Asuka shook his head, but he didn't care too much about it.
After all, he is not a god, so he cannot always be blocked. This ball may have some impact on him, but it will not affect his mentality.
Seeing that Akashi Asuka seemed to be fine, everyone felt relieved.
"Sorry, I passed the ball a little low just now." Oikawa Tetsu said.
"No, no matter how high or low that goal is, the outcome will not change much. The opponent must have carefully studied our playing style, so they can capture such an accurate offensive line on the first goal." Akashi Asuka shook his head slightly.
road.
"In addition, the two secondary attackers of Kusezaka are really not simple. Their height and reaction speed are very good, so they have the ability to directly block whether it is a straight line or a diagonal line. If we want to win this game, we must not only
We have to find a way to defend Kiryu's heavy artillery, and at the same time we have to deal with the two secondary attackers on the opposite side."
There is also a difference between blocking and blocking. Although all members of Qingcheng are proficient in blocking techniques, most people use "technical blocking", which means blocking a certain offensive line of the opponent through skills, causing trouble and obstacles to the enemy.
, mainly to create catching opportunities for backcourt players.
But Kindaichi and Akashi Asuka use direct blocks, which are blocks that directly block the opponent's spike. This type of block requires higher physical fitness.
Generally speaking, unless you have the jumping ability of Akashi Asuka, you are less than 1.9 meters tall and it is almost difficult to form a perfect direct block.
As soon as Akashi Asuka finished speaking, Oikawa Toru gradually put on a mask of pain. After all, it was difficult enough to deal with just one Kiryuhachi, and now there were two deputy assistants who could even defend Akashi Asuka.
Attack, no matter how you look at such an opponent, it makes you feel desperate!
2:0.
At the beginning of the game, Qingcheng was already two points behind.
The game continues.
Kosaka High School served the third ball, and this time Oikawa Toru used Akashi Asuka as bait and successfully played a time difference attack with Kindaichi before the second pass, helping Qingcheng win the first point of the game.
2:1.
Then the next ball was served, and it was finally Oikawa Toru's turn on Qingcheng's side to step onto the service box.
Usaka High School's backcourt defense does not have talented players like Kiryu Hachi and 'Kusaka Twin Towers' in the frontcourt. The overall quality of their backcourt defensive players is similar to that of Kotani, but the difference is that Kotani has no support in the backcourt.
, but Usaka has it.
Maybe it's because high school students don't like the 'receiver' position very much. From the qualifiers all the way to the national competition, Asuka Akashi rarely saw formal relief players in the opponent's team. Generally, they were played by the second player.
A leading attacker is substituted.
However, the player configuration of Kousaka High School is a standard lineup of one main attacker, one second passer, two secondary attackers, one supporter, and one free agent.
This is a completely flawless lineup.
That's why.
At the beginning, Asuka Akashi felt that the team at Koseka High School was extremely "professional".
Because from the perspective of the team as a whole, even compared with the top teams in the country like Xiaogu, there is a fundamental gap between Usaka High School and them.
Faced with such a formation, Oikawa Toru fired two goals in a row, but failed to score a single 'direct score'.
The first serve was picked up by Ezoda, No. 7 in the backcourt of Kushida. However, it may have been the first time to receive such a super-high-speed serve, so Koshizaka did not catch the ball perfectly, causing the volleyball to bounce directly back to Qingcheng.
Next, he was finally slapped back by Akashi Asuka.
2:2.
Qingcheng equalized the score.
But when Tohru Oikawa served the second serve, No. 7, who was still Koseka, adapted and successfully caught the ball. Although it was still not perfect, even the setter could not control the ball to be perfect.
Pass to Kiryu Hachi.
But with this "bad ball" that barely passed the net, Kiryuhachi resolutely took off and hit a super heavy shot, forcibly scoring the point.
And this goal also caused the audience outside the stadium to scream in surprise...
【Wonderful!】
[As expected of ‘Kiryu with bad balls’, no matter what kind of pass he faces, he can forcefully score points. This is Kiryu Hachi, one of the top three powerful aces in the country. 】
【Mr. Oda, what do you think of this shot?】
[Hmm! It is indeed a very smart shot? I don’t know if you have noticed that when Kiryu took off before smashing this shot, he only used one step to run up. Although this will reduce the take-off height, it is
It just perfectly connects with this 'bad ball', and it can hit heavy shots even in the low post.】
[Of course, we do not recommend that others imitate Kiryu’s offensive style. If you must imitate, please first develop a strong physique like Kiryu’s (laughs).]
“Oh oh oh oh~~~”
"Ah Ba, Ah Ba! Well played... Ah Ba, Ah Ba! One more ball..."
The cheers from Koseka High School were shaking, and along with the cheers coming from outside the court, Kiryuhachi slowly walked to the service area at position 1 with the ball.
Seeing this, everyone in Qingcheng was instantly alert.
Then the next second.
The Qingcheng players heard a familiar thunder-like explosion, and then saw a cannonball flying towards them...
