"Wow, I'm really scared to death. Inarizaki actually lost to Qingcheng 2-0!"
When Qingcheng defeated Inarizaki with a score of 2-0, this shocking record instantly caused an uproar in the entire spring high school volleyball competition.
Among them, the team that pays the most attention to Qingcheng is undoubtedly Yinju High School.
Firstly, Nekoma has helped Karasuno several times this year, in order to be able to fulfill his wish of a "junkyard decisive battle" during the little coaching time left by Coach Nekomata.
However, unexpectedly, this wish was not realized after all, and the team that eliminated Karasuno in the qualifiers was Qingcheng.
Secondly, it is because according to the arrangement of the matchup table, their opponent in the next game of Yinju will be Qingcheng High School.
"Now I kind of understand why Karasuno lost to Qingcheng."
When mentioning how Karasuno was eliminated in the Miyagi Prefecture qualifiers, even Nekoma, a strong school in Tokyo, was quite speechless.
During the previous qualifiers, Nekoma High School had always been in contact with Karasuno. At first, when they knew that Karasuno had successfully defeated Shiratorizawa, all Nekoma High School players thought that Karasuno had a high probability of entering the national competition this year.
After all, Shiratorizawa, who owns Wakali Ushijima, has been a regular in the top eight of national competitions in the past.
Even Shiratorizawa can be defeated. In theory, Karasuno has the power to fight against any of the top schools in the country.
However, the result was that, facing his opponent Qingcheng in the final, Karasuno could not even finish five games. At the end of four games, he was eliminated three to one.
Yinju didn't know much about Qingcheng before.
Because of the inter high national competition last semester, Nekoma, like Karasuno, failed to get a ticket.
The understanding of Qingcheng, like most ordinary teams, is basically only through volleyball monthly magazines, or live TV broadcasts.
But this time, after watching the entire match in which Aoki defeated Inarizaki, the Nekoma High School players immediately understood why Karasuno was eliminated by Aoki.
Even the runner-up team in the national competition last semester was unable to finish three games against the current Qingcheng. One can only imagine how strong Qingcheng is now.
"Hey~~~What kind of ghost place is Miyagi Prefecture? Two devil schools, Shiratorizawa and Aojo, can actually pop up one after another." Yamamoto Tiger touched his shoulder, and inexplicably felt goosebumps all over the place.
"It's terrible! Fortunately we are in Tokyo."
You know, as the economic center of the entire island country, Tokyo is an absolute devil's competition zone for basically any sport.
Although Tokyo has three places for the national competition, the competition for a place here is definitely no less intense than in any other prefecture.
Inkoma High School also barely managed to get a spot on the third varsity team after countless hard battles.
However, such a strong school in Tokyo can now say "I'm glad I'm in Tokyo". You can imagine how devilish Miyagi Prefecture has become in this year's qualifiers.
But it’s normal if you think about it carefully.
After all, Miyagi Prefecture only has one place to enter the national competition. If you want to get the ticket there, you have to defeat two national aces, Akashi Asuka, Ushijima Wakatori, and Oikawa Toru, plus a national second-class player.
Pass hand.
This is no longer difficult, but hell.
"By the way, how are we going to play in the next game?"
After feeling sympathy for Karasuno for two seconds, Nekoma High School had to return to reality again.
That is how they will defeat their opponent in the next game against Qingcheng.
First of all, the option of ‘giving up’ can be eliminated.
After all, the ultimate goal of any college participating in the national competition must be to win the championship, so no matter how powerful the opponent is, no college will choose to give up.
But now the reality is in front of them, but the players of Yinju High School have to remain silent.
"Hey! Kuroo, can you guard Qingcheng's Akashi Asuka in the next game?" Guzhao Mo suddenly asked a question that sounded very unrealistic.
"Huh? Are you kidding me? Who can guard against that kind of monster?"
Sure enough, the lazily grinding sound of the solitary claws had just sounded, and Kuroo Tetsurou almost jumped up from his seat as if there were thorns on his butt.
Yinju High School is also a team that belongs to mortals.
There are not many talented players in this team, but in terms of blocking level alone, Tetsuro Kuroo ranks among the best in the country.
Even when facing Kotaro Bokuto of Owlaya Academy, Kuroo Tetsuro cannot say that he can successfully block every time, but at least he can defend effectively.
But just because he can stop Kotaro Bokuto doesn’t mean he can also stop Asuka Akashi!
Although according to the evaluation of Volleyball Monthly, Akashi Asuka and Bokuto Kotaro are both ranked among the top six aces in the country, and even Bokuto Kotaro is ranked higher, still in the top five.
But this evaluation was already from an interview at the end of the summer inter-high.
Now whoever continues to believe this interview is a pure Dashabi.
Don't forget.
Inarizaki's Aran Oshiro is also one of the top five aces in the country, but anyone who watched the showdown just now, as long as his eyes are not blind, can see how badly Oshiro Alain was tortured in front of Akashi Asuka.
Akashi Asuka's current strength is at least among the top three in the country.
And Yinju High School has also played against the top three aces in the country, because when competing for the right to represent in the qualifiers, Yinju High School barely managed to win the third representative right after losing to Jingda Mountain and Xiaogu one after another.
When facing Idayama's Sakuha Seomi, Kuroo Tetsuro's block was completely useless, but he basically did not intercept the opponent's spike from the front once in the game.
This is not a question of skill or brains.
But the difference is more simple and pure, that is height.
The top three aces in the country, Ushijima Wakatoshi, Kiryuhachi, and Sakuha Seomi are all around 190cm tall.
However, Kotaro Bokuto, the top five ace player in the country, and Aran Oshiro, are only 185cm tall.
Although it seems like a simple difference of just a few centimeters, for the top players in the country, these few centimeters are enough to make a world of difference.
The same goes for Kuroo Tetsurou.
Although it is only a few centimeters higher, it represents the highest height that his block can defend.
In June, Akashi Asuka was only 185cm tall, so he could only rank among the top six in the country. Now Akashi Asuka's height has reached 190cm. For Kuroo Tetsurou, this means that Akashi Asuka's strength has reached
