Akashi Asuka made a mistake in the first start, allowing Date Industrial to chase the score back to 6:3.
Although this is not a big problem, after all, Nobuteru Irihata didn't even call a timeout, but in the face of the ridicule of Oikawa Toru, Akashi Asuka obviously still can't truly achieve the goal of 'not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself'
realm.
So in the next game, Asuka Akashi began to make every effort to recover his lost points.
······
boom!!!
A powerful heavy artillery shot like a meteorite penetrated the iron wall of Date Industrial, then hit the arm of the free man in the backcourt, and bounced all the way to the auditorium on the second floor.
This terrifying and violent smash instantly aroused the excitement of the audience.
“Oh oh oh oh~~~”
"Such a strong force, Date Industrial's iron wall is as fragile as white paper."
"It's such a violent smash. What the hell is going on with this guy? He's as strong as a monster."
······
The score came to 10:5.
This is the third lost point Akashi Asuka has recovered for himself.
The players of Date Industrial have begun to doubt life a little. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have been able to imagine that their proud 'iron wall' defense would one day appear so fragile.
Qingcheng regained the right to serve again.
In this round, it was Kentaro Kyotani’s turn to serve. Among those in Qingcheng, Kentaro Kyotani’s serving skills were almost second only to Asuka Akashi and Toru Oikawa.
Although the current turnover rate is still very high, as long as the ball can be successfully sent into the opposite boundary, the scoring rate can basically remain above 50%.
Kentaro Kyotani scored two points in a row.
Mistake on the third ball.
However, the point difference between the two sides widened again, and the score became 12:6.
At this stage of the game, the outcome of both sides is actually obvious, but everyone in Qingcheng still has no intention of relaxing because the opponent, Date Industrial, has not yet admitted defeat.
The dual psychological and physical pressure caused the pace and movements of Date Industrial players to become significantly slower than at the beginning of the game.
Everyone can see emotions such as fatigue, fatigue, pain... etc. from their faces and eyes, but no matter how painful these people's expressions are, there is never any emotion in their eyes.
That is - give up.
This is also the difference between many powerful schools and ordinary high schools.
As long as you don't give up, you will eventually find hope for a comeback. If this game doesn't work, there will be the next one. If today doesn't work, there will be tomorrow. If the players of this generation don't work, the players of the next generation will continue to work hard...
As long as we persist, the legacy of a powerful school will always be passed down.
Therefore, when facing a powerful player, no matter how much advantage Qingcheng gains, as long as the referee has not blown the final whistle, Qingcheng will continue to attack.
······
The first game lasted 14 minutes.
Akashi Asuka received a setter with a very poor angle and height. After all, he was not the real Kiryuhachi. In this case, Akashi Asuka could not hit a heavy shot.
As a last resort, Asuka Akashi had no choice but to hit a small diagonal shot, bypassing Date Industrial's double block and helping Qingcheng score a point.
The score is 16:9.
······
The first game lasted 16 minutes.
Oikawa Tooru used his passing posture to deceive Date Industrial's defense and hit a second pass with his backhand.
Score 19:11.
······
The first game lasted 18 minutes.
Asuka Akashi received a pass from Oikawa Toru at the highest point. Now the highest hitting point has reached an astonishing 347cm. After receiving the ball, Asuka Akashi faced the three-man blocker of Date Industrial and directly passed from Asuka Akashi.
Breaking through head-on, he fired a super-attacking meteorite heavy cannon.
The powerful smash knocked down the free man defending in the backcourt, and the score reached 23:14.
······
The first game is 20 minutes.
It was Akashi Asuka's turn to serve. This time Akashi Asuka made no mistakes and ended the game decisively and simply with a [powerful jump serve].
The final score was 25:15.
······
······
In fact, there is not such a big gap between Date Industrial and Qingcheng, but unfortunately this summer's situation is special. On the surface, it may seem that the training gap between the two sides is only one month, but in fact, this special training this summer may be far greater than
Training in school for one semester is usually more efficient.
That's what involution is.
If you don't want to involve others, then others will involve you.
The subsequent second game progressed equally quickly. The overall game lasted about 19 minutes, and Qingcheng won this game with 25:16.
With a big score of 2-0, Qingcheng secured a spot in the finals ahead of schedule.
"Congratulations!"
At the end of the game, after the players from the two teams saluted each other, Kenji Futguchi suddenly said to Akashi Asuka: "Can I ask you something?"
"What's up?"
"I want to know if you guys have made such great progress during this period because of some secret training during this summer?"
"Ah this..."
Akashi Asuka was speechless for a moment, and then said: "As for this issue, I actually think it might be better if you don't know."
In fact, regarding the secret training held in Qingcheng this summer, it is no secret in Miyagi Prefecture... no, to be precise, it should be nationwide.
But precisely because of this, Akashi Asuka felt that it was better not to let the people from Date Industry know about this matter.
After all, three of the top four teams in this year's Miyagi Prefecture qualifiers have undergone special training, but Date Industrial is the only one who still doesn't know what happened?
This easily highlights the "wisdom" of Date Industrial.
"If it makes you feel a little embarrassed, then take it as my presumption." Futakuchi Kenji was very polite, but this made Qingcheng even more stingy.
So after thinking about it, Akashi Asuka prepared his words a little and said, "Actually, this summer, the staycation in Qingcheng was longer than before, and it probably lasted almost a month."
"oh?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Futakuchi Kenji's eyes, and he obviously knew how much fruitful training would be achieved by training for a whole month during the summer.
But soon, he hid this surprise. Futakuchi Kenji returned to his smiling and kind expression and said: "Then I really want to congratulate you. It seems that Qingcheng has the hope of winning the ticket to the national competition this year."
Bigger.”
"Ahem~~ This actually doesn't count. After all, it's not just us. Shiratorizawa and Karasuno also conducted similar special training this summer."
The smile on Futakuchi Kenji's face faltered, and his expression gradually stiffened: "Karenso and... Shiratorizawa, did they also undergo special training during the summer?"
"Moreover, to be precise, all the strong schools at the national level have been training very hard this summer, which lasted about a month." Now that he had said it, Akashi Asuka simply told Kenji Futakuchi all the facts.
After getting the answer, Kenji Futakuchi's eyes gradually changed from shock, to disbelief, and finally completely lost his look...
