Chapter 172 The Guidance of the Eagle Craftsman Blacksmithing
The full name of the receiving position is "receiving setter".
It is roughly divided into three types, namely: strong response, guaranteed response, and comprehensive response.
Needless to say, strong support is the position that Ushijima Wakatoshi is currently playing. Although his playing style is relatively extreme, it is not an exaggeration to say that strong support is another main attacker in a sense.
The position Iwaizumi takes is the second type - a guarantee type of support.
The protection type is in the same position as Karasuno's Sawamura Daichi. It is a defensive type of reception. Generally speaking, its role on the court is mainly to pass the ball and defend in the backcourt.
There is no doubt about it.
Iwaizumi has the conditions to become a guaranteed support.
Because in the Qingcheng team, Iwaizumi is the player with the most comprehensive skills besides Oikawa Toru.
In fact, with Iwaizumi's current conditions, even becoming a comprehensive supporter is not necessarily impossible. However, considering that Qingcheng's backcourt defense is currently only supported by Watachikaji, he still chose the position of a security supporter.
"Crack!"
The volleyball hit Iwaizumi's wrist and flew high into the sky.
"pretty!"
"Good call, Iwaizumi-chan."
"Good shot! Good shot!"
Iwaizumi's transformation was very fast, because after switching from being the main attacker to being a supporter, although he was still lacking in skills, he no longer needed to pay too much attention to the offense and blocking, so he was able to concentrate more.
but······
"It's not enough. Just this is not enough!" Iwaizumi thought to himself.
"My goal is not to defend this kind of ordinary smash, but to attack from a real national ace." Iwaizumi's eyes were fixed on Ushijima Wakali. This was his goal.
If it was just to defend this kind of ordinary smash, then there was no need for Iwaizumi to choose to switch to the supporting position. During the national competition, Qingcheng was beaten defensively by his opponents in three consecutive promotion rounds.
Just relying on one person's efforts.
Easily destroying the efforts of many players in Qingcheng, this is the offensive power of a national ace.
"It's not realistic to catch all these guys' smashes, but at least... at least, you have to catch three or five balls in each game."
Deep in the clear and dark pupils, the jumping figure of Ushijima Wakali on the opposite side was reflected through the barrier. The tall and light body leaped into the air. The soft sand seemed completely invisible to this white bird-like monster.
No impact at all.
Bang!
Accompanied by an explosion.
The volleyball in mid-air seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer. It carried a strong impact and an astonishing spin and quickly passed through Qingcheng's frontcourt blocker before falling towards the backcourt.
Iwaizumi's vision seemed to have been amazingly improved at this moment. Although Ushijima Wakali's smash was very fast, he still clearly captured the trajectory of the volleyball, including the drift caused by the spin and the prediction of the landing point.
, everything is clear.
"Got you!"
Iwaizumi stepped out one by one, and the sand under his feet stirred up a cloud of dust. Then he shot out like a bullet and reached the right edge of the court in an instant.
Snap!
The crisp sound of the ball hitting the ball resounded throughout the stadium, and in an instant, the expressions of several people on the stadium changed.
"Caught it?"
Feeling the touch of the volleyball on his wrist, Iwaizumi was pleasantly surprised at first, but soon the surprise quickly disappeared, replaced by an indescribable shock and horror.
"I can't control it, it's spinning so hard!"
Because his previous position was the main attack, Iwaizumi basically only had duels with Ushijima Wakatoshi on the block, but this was the first time he caught Ushijima Wakatoshi's smash head-on like this.
It was only now that Iwaizumi finally realized the daily feelings of Watanaharu.
"Asshole, are these guys still human?"
Iwaizumi cursed secretly, and the next second, the volleyball in his hand bounced high, flying out of bounds at an angle of almost 45 degrees to the ground, and then landed gently on the sand.
And because of his awkward posture, he sat down on the ground.
Everyone didn't react much to Iwaizumi's failure to catch Ushijima Wakali's smash, because even the players of the Qingcheng team have now subconsciously regarded "not catching Ushijima's smash" as a normal phenomenon.
However, for the setters and liberos of Shiratorizawa, Iwaizumi was shocked when he was able to meet Ushijima Wakali's smash just now.
After all, as teammates on the same team, no one knows better than them how difficult it is to catch Ushijima Wakali's spike, and now a player who has just switched from the main attack to the supporting position has only hit the ball a few times, but he almost caught it.
How could they not be shocked by Ushijima Wakatoshi's smash.
Off the court, Washi Shoji's eyes narrowed slightly.
For Shiratorizawa, it may not be good news that some players in Qingcheng have improved, but...
"Hey~ That kid over there, I remember your name is Iwaizumi, right? The supporter and the main attacker are two completely different positions. The battlefield for the main attacker is in the sky, but the battlefield for the support position is underground. You are standing too high.
It’s high.”
Washoku Takuji's sudden guidance caught the players from Aoki and Shiratorizawa a little off guard.
Iwaizumi Kazuma stayed where he was, as if he couldn't react for a while.
Seeing this, Taoji the Eagle Craftsman snorted coldly and said: "Huh! Don't look at the old man like that. Although the old man does dislike your coach a little, he won't deceive you brats."
"Believe these words or not. If you don't want to believe them, just pretend that the old man never said anything."
Iwaizumi looked at Nobuteru Irihata with a pleading look, and Nobuteru Irihata coughed lightly and said: "Iwaizumi, just follow the guidance of Coach Washi Takumi. Coach Washi Takumi has been in the industry for decades and has a lot of experience in this field.
Rich."
After hearing this, Iwaizumi finally felt relieved and thanked Washi Shoji: "Thank you for your advice, Washi Shoji."
"Hmph! The old man just doesn't want to see the players' talents being wasted. Your talents are not in the main offensive position. If the coach had enough vision, you should have discovered this a long time ago." Coach Washi Takumi snorted.
Naturally, Iwaizumi didn't dare to take the next step.
Following the instruction of Shoji Shoushi, when Iwaizumi caught the ball from behind, he adjusted his center of gravity and lowered it a little further. With this slight change, the world Iwaizumi saw suddenly changed drastically.
"The ball speed... is so slow!"
After Iwaizumi lowered his center of gravity and lengthened the distance between the ball and the smash, he immediately felt that the speed of the ball dropped by several points.
Snap!
The volleyball came into contact with his wrist. Iwaizumi easily removed the impact of Goshiki's smash, and then with a slight movement, an almost perfect pass returned to the sky...
There are only two updates today. If the status is not good, there is no need to wait.
