In the past, Kiryuhachi not only had the two weapons of 'power' and 'height', but he also had the skills to still be able to hit hard no matter how bad the pass he faced.
But at that time, Kiryuhachi's technique was mainly assisted by changing the number of steps.
But now.
Even without a run-up, Kiryuhachi was still able to fire terrifying heavy artillery that could penetrate the blocker with his body posture completely confused in the air.
And compared to the past where he could only passively hit "bad balls", Kiryuhachi can now actively control a good ball to turn into a bad ball, and start an attack from there.
It's quite a bit like bringing others' IQ to your own level first, and then using your rich experience to defeat the opponent.
In the original work, Kiryu Hachi of this period obviously had not yet mastered this technology.
"Hey! It seems I'm not the only one making progress!"
Akashi Asuka grinned, and the fighting spirit in his heart instantly became more intense.
Next ball.
Kiryu eight serves.
The serve passed through the midfield like a cannonball. Although Oikawa Toru made a timely save, for such a powerful jump serve, if the landing point cannot be accurately captured, it is basically difficult to release the force perfectly.
The placement of the first pass was very poor.
But this is not a big problem for Akashi Asuka and Ushijima Wakali.
Ushijima Wakali acted as a setter and passed the volleyball to Akashi Asuka. Sakuhaha Seomi chose to block Akashi Asuka's diagonal attack with a single block.
There are Motoya Komori and Hachi Kiryu on both sides of the backcourt.
On the defensive end.
The blue team is obviously stronger than the red team.
However, Akashi Asuka's expression remained unchanged. Sakuza Seomi's guess was correct. Akashi Asuka was indeed going to attack the diagonal line.
Bang!
Accompanied by an explosion.
The volleyball brushed against Sakuza Seomi's eyebrows and broke through the block, hitting the spot and heading straight to the three-meter line on the left.
"Damn it, here we go again!"
Kiryuhachi was defending the backcourt in that direction. When he saw Akashi Asuka smash, he quickly rushed towards the volleyball to save it, but in the end it was still a step too late.
"What did this guy do?"
······
"Has Akashi finally begun to integrate new technologies into the original offensive system?" Nobuta Nobuta looked at Akashi Asuka's offensive status and suddenly said.
"Coach, what happened just now? Akashi has clearly exposed his offensive line, but why can't Kiryu and Sakuhaha stop his smash?" Iwaizumi couldn't help but wonder.
Iriyata Shinteru smiled and said: "Hehehe~~ I can't stop it, of course it's because I can't stop it!"
"Um... Could it be that Akashi deliberately seduced him, but that's not right! His direction of attack was clear from the beginning, and it didn't change until the end."
Irimata shook his head and said: "Iwaizumi, do you know what is the biggest difference between a national-level 'ace' and an ordinary attacker?"
Iwaizumi thought for a moment and replied: "Is it strength?"
Irimata shook his head, then nodded and said: "Absolutely! You can also say that. Super aces like Akashi and Ushijima can still score points even in the face of harsh conditions where the enemy is targeting them all the time.
players.”
"So they may use some strategies or tactics when attacking, but the factor that really supports them to become the 'ace' is the 'absolute strength' they possess."
"Both you and Kiryu and Sakuhaya on the field are probably guessing at this time that Akashi may have used some kind of technique to mislead their judgment. But in fact, your judgment was not wrong from the beginning, but it was just not enough.
It’s just comprehensive.”
"You all saw that in that ball just now, Akashi would attack diagonally, but have you ever thought about how many diagonal attack routes Akashi has mastered now?"
"How many? There are only big slashes, medium slashes, small slashes..." After counting here, Iwaizumi suddenly froze.
Good guy.
It’s not that I don’t know, I’m just shocked.
If we follow Akashi Asuka's current diagonal attack route and use his position as the dividing line, basically the entire half will be his attack angle!
"Do you understand now?"
Nobuteru Irahata saw Iwaizumi froze on the spot and said: "For a truly strong person, the enemy can see the direction of his attack, and there are still countless ways to win the score. This is how Akashi has enriched his arsenal.
Afterwards, the changes brought about.”
"Moreover, now Akashi is deliberately exposing his target, and there is a high probability that he is still seducing his opponent. Once the enemy takes the bait, then..."
······
It was as if he was responding to what Nobuteru Irihata said.
After several rounds of offensive and defensive battles, it was finally Akashi Asuka's turn to take control of the attack.
But this time, after Akashi Asuka took off, he still revealed his attack direction. At this moment, Kiryuhachi and Sakuza, who have been competing in the arena all year round, instinctively noticed something strange.
But in such a short period of attack and defense, before the two of them had time to think more, their bodies had already made an instinctive defensive reaction.
But this time.
Akashi Asuka suddenly changed the direction of his attack in the air, from a straight line to a diagonal line in an instant.
Bang!
The volleyball passed through the two defenders and hit the floor, scoring a point.
After getting this point, the red team officially entered the 20 mark.
20:18.
At this point, Kiryuhachi and Sakuzasaomi immediately realized what the strangeness they had noticed before was.
but······
"It's not just that!" Under the court, Nobuteru Irihata said with a slight smile.
Goal thirty-nine.
Sakuhaa Seomi smashed and scored.
20:19.
The 40th ball.
Akashi Asuka once again received a pass from Oikawa Toru, Sakuza Seomi blocked the ball alone, and Kiryuhachi and Komori Genya strictly blocked all routes on both sides.
But the next second.
Everyone only heard a blast of thunder, and then they saw a terrifying smash like a cannonball, which instantly penetrated Sakuha Seomi's arms and hit the blue team's court hard.
21:19.
The stadium went silent for a moment.
Perhaps during this period, Akashi Asuka was practicing new techniques, so he used various technical smashes more frequently, which made everyone present almost forget that for Akashi Asuka, his real signature smash has always been this kind of violence.
The ultimate heavy artillery!
Until this moment.
With the help of this ultra-high-level competition, Akashi Asuka finally successfully integrated the latest skills he mastered during the summer into his own tactical system.
While bringing more versatile offensive skills to himself, he finally achieved another evolution in strength.
