"Ushiwaka is still Ushiwaka! This power is really scary."
"I didn't expect that during the summer vacation, I could actually see two of the top three aces in the country facing off against each other. I made a lot of money this time."
·······
Inside the Qingcheng training base, the competition is still going on.
However, the battle has changed from Qingcheng vs Jingdashan to Shiratorizawa vs Jingdashan.
The crowd below the stadium changed from Shiratorizawa players to Qingcheng players.
in previous games.
Qingcheng finally lost to Jing Dashan with a slight disadvantage in the third game, with a score of 23:25.
Akashi Asuka failed to maintain his good condition until the third game. When attacking, he made several mistakes in succession, which ultimately led to the loss of the game.
Take a period of rest in between.
The second round of practice match, Shiratorizawa vs Idayama officially begins.
This game can be described as a tit-for-tat match. As soon as the game started, the two top three aces in the country came out with all their firepower, continuously attacking each other and scoring points like crazy.
The two of them are in quite a hot mood.
Ushijima Wakatoshi was very excited because he was stimulated when he was watching the match between Qingcheng and Idayama below.
As for Sakuza Seiko, he was originally a fan of Ushijima Wakatoshi. It can be said that the main reason why he was willing to come to Miyagi Prefecture this time was to fight Ushijima Wakatoshi, so he was naturally more motivated to fight.
Ushijima Wakatoshi and Sakuhaya Seomi who are in a hot state no longer feel powerful, but terrifying.
Even the people in Qingcheng sitting below the court could clearly sense the invisible oppression emanating from the two men.
"It's really scary! He is indeed a 'genius'... Oops!"
Oikawa Tooru held the back of his head with his hands and curled his lips in displeasure.
Then he was hit in the head with a 'bang' punch from Iwaizumi.
Although the former Iwaizumi also knew about Oikawa Toru's 'hatred of geniuses' mentality, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, everyone has jealousy.
But ever since the national competition, Iwaizumi knew that Oikawa Toru almost lost to Koseka High School because of his 'jealousy' of Akashi Asuka's talent, Iwaizumi has never liked this guy again.
In a word.
It's okay for Toru Oikawa to do whatever he wants off the field, but once on the field, if something goes wrong with Toru Oikawa, he will definitely be greeted by Kazuichi Iwaizumi's fist.
Bang!
On the court, Sakuza Seomi made a powerful jump serve.
Although Sakuhaya's serve was not as powerful as Ushijima Wakali and Akashi Asuka, it carried a super disgusting spin. Although the Shiratorizawa free man caught the ball path at the first time, when his hands touched the volleyball
In an instant, the whole person flew straight out of bounds.
12:11.
Jingdishan is temporarily in the lead.
Sakuza Seomi continued with the second round.
After the ball passed the net, Hayato Yamagata finally managed to catch the ball, but the direction and angle of the volleyball's flight were far away from the position of the setter.
"Watch out for Ushiwaka!"
Seeing Shiratorizawa's first passing formation being chaotic, Idayama's players decisively marked Ushijima Wakatoshi.
This is a conventional tactic against Shiratorizawa, and it can be regarded as a common disadvantage of having a "national ace" team, that is, once something unexpected happens to the team, the final offensive player will most likely be the "ace" in the team.
Even sometimes, even if one's own tactics are discovered by the opponent, the direction of the ball will not change, because all teams with "national aces" firmly believe in one thing, that is, even if they are marked by three opponents, their ace will not change.
You can score points.
Shiratorizawa is exactly such a team.
When Shirabu Kenjiro saw Idayama setting up a 2+1 coordinated block formation in front of Ushijima Wakatoshi in advance, his expression didn't even change at all, and he decisively passed the ball over Ushijima Wakatoshi.
Jing Dashan's frontcourt players quickly took off, and three figures set up a huge barrier in front of them.
But the next second.
The faces of the people in Jingdi Mountain changed.
Because they discovered that they had clearly reached the highest point, but there was still no sign of Ushijima Wakali ahead.
"Oops, it's a fake move, this is... a time difference attack."
Bang!
When Idayama's defensive players began to fall, Ushijima Wakali finally took off and instantly surpassed the top of the three blocks, swinging his arms and hitting a dunk.
12:12.
Iizado Tsuna's face was gloomy, and he stared at Shirabu Kenjiro on the other side of the block.
"When did Shiratorizawa start to learn how to cooperate?"
In the previous game against Qingcheng, the Jingdishan players were shocked to see the rapid improvement of each player's personal skills in Qingcheng.
Never expected it.
This time they actually saw an even more shocking scene.
Compared to Qingcheng, Jing Dashan obviously has a deeper understanding of Shiratorizawa, because both parties have been regulars in national competitions, and it is common for them to meet in competitions.
Therefore, the people in Jingda Mountain know very well that Shiratorizawa has always been a team with an extremely strong personal style. Although the players also cooperate, that cooperation is not so much cooperation, but rather that everything is dedicated to the 'ace'
.
Coach Jing Dashan squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It seems that Coach Washiji has been under a lot of pressure recently? Even the team's style has begun to change."
Washi Takuji's face was cold, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Shiratorizawa's team style will never change. As long as the ultimate goal is to be the 'ace', I don't care about the process."
During this period, Aoki and Shiratorizawa exchanged coaches for guidance, so the two teams learned a lot of each other's experience and skills.
But in fact, the essence of both parties has not changed.
Qingcheng players' personal skills have improved rapidly, but their final playing style is still based on teamwork.
Although Shiratorizawa has absorbed some of Aoki's tactical cooperation, these skills will ultimately serve Ushijima Wakali.
Take the essence and discard the dross.
It can be said that both Qingcheng and Shiratorizawa have done quite well in this regard.
·······
The duel with new opponent Jing Dashan allowed the players of Shiratorizawa and Qingcheng to see their progress visibly.
This has a huge promoting effect on improving the training morale of the players.
Not everyone has Akashi Asuka's system panel, which allows him to visualize every step of his progress. The factors that hinder a person's progress are often not difficulties and pain, but the lack of hope.
Jingdashan originally planned to stay in Miyagi Prefecture for three days.
Wait until the three-day expedition is over.
Everyone in Jingda Mountain was ready to leave Miyagi and return to Tokyo.
But just the night before they left, Akashi Asuka suddenly said: "Oh? Are you leaving now? There is a team coming over tomorrow, don't you plan to meet it?"
