The most violent smash was picked up in the most perfect way.
The volleyball flew high into the sky, and through the shadow of the volleyball, a young figure of short height was gradually revealed, with eyebrows that were like two dots of thick ink.
Komori Yuanya grinned and met Akashi Asuka's eyes in mid-air.
"Oh~ It was such a close call, I almost missed it. I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, I would actually become so much stronger again. It's really scary!"
Komori Yuanya said "terrible", but there was no expression of fear at all on his face.
Komori Motoya.
The current No. 1 free agent in the country.
In the original work, he once participated in the national youth training team together with Sakuza Seomi and Kageyama Tobio, and his strength is extraordinary.
It can be said that when Qingcheng lost 2-0 to Jingdashan in the national competition, at least half of the reason was due to Motoya Komori, because his presence made Jingdashan's backcourt defense unbreakable.
Even if Akashi Asuka wanted to get points from him, it would not be an easy task.
Tsuna Iizada, the general and setter of Idayama, took over the first pass from Motoya Komori, and then launched the attack in cooperation with Sakuha Seiomi.
The volleyball drew a nearly parallel straight line in the air, and quickly landed above Sakuha Seiomi.
Parallel fast break.
Even in fast break coordination, it is a very fast attack method.
Faced with such cooperation, Toru Oikawa and Asuka Akashi who had just landed on the right wing of the court had no time to pursue. Only Yutaro Kindaichi who was directly opposite could set up a blocker.
"How should I block? Is it because I'm defending a straight line, or am I blocking a diagonal line?"
Kindaichi faced Sakuha Seomiya alone and was a little panicked for a while. This was not because of his poor mental quality, but because he had played against him in the national competition before, but after the whole game, he couldn't even score a single goal.
Couldn't stop the opponent.
But this is normal.
After all, Sakuha Seomi is a player who is ranked as one of the "three aces in the country" along with Ushijima Wakatoshi and Kiryuhachi.
Seeing that Sakuzao was about to smash with his arms, Kindaichi suddenly thought of the instructions given by the former Shoushi Tōji in his mind.
"You must have momentum when blocking. No matter when, you must give the opponent a sense of unbreakable pressure. Having momentum is more important than technique."
As soon as he thought of this, Kindaichi Yutaro's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he took off to face Sakuhaya Seigomi. He tensed the fingers of his hands tightly and pressed forward at the same time. His eyes were fixed on the volleyball in the sky.
"Um?"
Sakuzao Shengchen made a move, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of oppression coming over him.
"What's going on? This kid didn't have this kind of momentum during the national competition, so why now..."
·······
Under the stadium.
The Eagle Craftsman Takuji nodded imperceptibly, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Ah, that first-year brat from Qingcheng looks so familiar when he blocks the ball!"
Unless someone has experienced the changes in Kindaichi personally, or has decades of coaching experience like Washoku Shoji, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see the changes.
But Tentongjue's keen intuition made him vaguely aware of something strange.
"So familiar? What is familiar?" Eita Seimi asked from the side.
"Hmm~~~I don't know. I just feel that the kid's blocking posture is very similar to our Shiratorizawa habits. It feels like a beast hunting for prey, trying to tear the opponent into pieces completely."
"There's nothing strange about this, right? Don't forget, the one who has guided Qingcheng during this period has always been Coach Washi. With the old man's character, if he sees such a tall player, he will definitely teach him how to handle it."
"Oh! That's right!"
······
The discussion off the court did not have any impact on the game situation on the court. Although Sakuhaya Seomi was partially blocked by Kindaichi Yutaro's sudden change, it did not have much impact on him.
Temporarily changing the offensive line is not a simple matter for other main attackers.
But this is completely routine for Sakuzao Holy Minister.
mid-air.
Sakuza Seiomi's wrist suddenly twisted like a water snake. Normal people's wrists are tough and it is difficult to twist the angle greatly, but Sakuza Seiomi has a pair of extremely soft wrists.
This allows him to not only change his offensive line at any time, but also has an extremely weird spin on his smash. This spin is even more tricky than Ushijima Wakuri's "left-handed" angle.
Bang!
Sakuza Seomi volleyed in the air, and with a loud bang, the volleyball in the air suddenly bypassed Kindaichi's blocker in front, and easily hit a small diagonal line close to the three-point line.
That's where Qingcheng's defensive flaw in the front and backcourt lies.
No.
To be precise, it should be said that it was originally a flaw in Qingcheng's defense.
But at the moment when Sakuzamori smashed the ball there, Watachikaji from the backcourt was chasing after him urgently. In just a blink of an eye, he quickly caught up with the ball.
The speed was so fast that an afterimage seemed to appear in front of everyone's eyes.
Snap!
Watachikaji caught the volleyball, but unfortunately, before Oikawa Tetsu could connect with the second pass, the ball had already bounced out of bounds due to the high-speed spin contained in it.
"It's a pity, it's still a little bit worse!"
Watanaji stood up regretfully, looked at his wrist, and thought: "I have been practicing with Shiratorizawa during this period. I originally thought that after getting used to Ushiwaka's smash, I would be able to catch his ball. Now it seems,
Sakuhaya's spin is probably sharper than Ushiwaka's, and although his smash power is not as powerful, it is really difficult to catch it."
"You may need to adjust the angle of catching the ball next time..."
Naturally, Sakuzao Shouchen couldn't hear Watamaji's whisper, but at this moment, he was about to stir up a storm in his heart.
"What have these guys experienced during this time?"
Compared with the national competition period, the changes in today's Qingcheng team are too obvious, whether it is the momentum shown by Kindaichi when he blocked the ball just now, or the astonishing explosive power of Watanaji Haru when he made relief.
These are advantages that Qingcheng does not have during the national competition.
And not only these, the basic movements of all Qingcheng players, whether it is coordination or sensitivity, have all improved by more than one level.
Obviously, during this period, Jingdashan's players were also undergoing intensive special training, but their rate of progress was completely at a different level compared to Qingcheng's.
Logically speaking.
After the team's strength reaches the national top eight level, it is basically difficult to make other major improvements, because to be able to enter the national top eight team, basically the team's degree of completion is already quite high.
But what is happening in Qingcheng?
Sakuzao Sage is a little hard to understand.
But if he knew the training methods Aoki and Shiratorizawa went through during this period, he might be able to figure it out.
Don't say anything else.
However, the two teams were punished to run the [500-meter cross-country] every day, which directly improved the physical fitness of the two teams.
Because they had been playing against Shiratorizawa before, after a long time, it was difficult for both sides to see any obvious improvement. But now after comparing with Jingdashan, the effect of the special training some time ago was immediately revealed.
Seeing this, everyone's fighting spirit, which had been gradually sluggish after a week of special devil training, suddenly rekindled like a flame.
