The volleyball picked up by Nekoma High School was not caught by the setter, because although Yaku Weisuke caught the ball, its landing point deviated from the court and landed on the floor of the vacant court next to it.
But these are no longer important, because the main problem now is that Nekoma does have a chance to defend Akashi Asuka's attack. This is the key.
Yinju: No, actually we think this is quite important!
3:1.
Qingcheng regained the right to serve again.
Hanamaki Takata took the first position and walked into the teeing area.
Qingcheng strengthened the serving skills of all members during the summer, which improved the entire team's offensive power.
Bang!
And the powerful jump shot flew over the blocker and plummeted towards the backcourt where Yinju was.
"Let me go, are all the people in Qingcheng serving so fiercely?"
Any player who is not very outstanding in Qingcheng can send out such a powerful jump. It is true that Nekoma was shocked again. However, facing Hanamaki Takata's jump, given Nekoma's service level, it was not possible.
As for being scored directly by the opponent.
The volleyball was picked up steadily.
Immediately, Yinju's setter Guzhaomo organized the attack again.
Regardless of his physical fitness or passing skills, Guzhao Ming was mediocre at the national level, but his instinct as a setter still made Oikawa Tooru notice him.
"This kid, I feel quite annoying..."
Oikawa Toru's whisper was heard by Iwaizumi, who rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this garbage.
Is there anyone in this world that you don’t hate?
Due to position rotation, Iwaizumi came to the frontcourt at this time. Originally, Iwaizumi's position in the frontcourt would be replaced by Hide Kunimi. However, he was not a free agent. The replacement would need to occupy the replacement spot, so Nobuteru Irihata thought about it.
The plan is to let Guo Jianying play in the second half of the game.
As for the early stage of the game, Iwaizumi will take over first.
to be honest.
At present, the height of all players, except for free agents, is generally around 185cm, or even higher in Qingcheng. Iwaizumi, a 179.3cm supporter, suddenly rotates to the frontcourt, which seems extremely abrupt.
So of course, Iwaizumi was targeted by Nekoma.
The 188cm secondary attacker Kuroo Tetsurou received the pass from Sotazumi, and immediately prepared to attack from Iwaizumi. Under normal circumstances, the 188cm secondary attacker versus the 179.3cm supporter, this is a duel with a clear winner.
.
But one thing Nekoma ignored was that Iwaizumi was not always in the supporting position. Before that, Iwaizumi was the main attacker, and he was also Qingcheng's "ace".
"Don't look down on others too much! If you want to take advantage of me, you are a hundred years too early!"
Iwaizumi suddenly jumped high to meet Nekoma's secondary attacker Kuroo Tetsurou, and a "supporter" suddenly showed such a strong jumping ability, which really shocked Kuroo.
Fortunately, the ball was of good quality, and Kuroo Tetsuro's height advantage was there, so in the end, the 188cm secondary attacker was not directly blocked by the 179.3cm Iwaizumi.
However, Tetsuro Kuroo's smash was still touched by Iwaizumi's palm, and the smash that could have landed directly became a touch.
"One touch!"
Iwaizumi roared, and Watanaji Haru, who was behind him, had already been prepared and saved the ball with a diving jump.
On the other side of the block, Kuroo Tetsurou clicked his tongue rather unwillingly.
"Tsk! The defense of these guys is not weak either!"
Before the game started, all Nekoma players thought that today would be an offensive and defensive battle, and their main opponents were two super offensive players, Akashi Asuka and Oikawa Toru.
However, the reality is that the game has just begun, and Qingcheng and Yinju are competing defensively.
Yinju's defensive advantage is mainly reflected in ground catching, while Qingcheng's defense is mainly focused on blocking. Although the defensive points are different, the defensive intensity displayed by Qingcheng at this time has greatly exceeded Yinju's expectations.
Oikawa Toru organized the attack, and the volleyball once again fell above Akashi Asuka.
The blocker guarding Akashi Asuka is still Kuroo Tetsuro. This guy's defense is quite insidious. It seems that he only blocks a spiking route by himself every time.
But in fact, as long as the opposing attacker has the idea of avoiding Tetsurou Kuroo, Nekoma, who is waiting on the ground in the backcourt early, will teach this attacker a good lesson.
Let them experience what it means to be a national-level defense.
"It is indeed a very tight defense, but unfortunately, you seem to have missed one place, right?"
With the person in mid-air, Akashi Asuka relied on his powerful staying in the air to force his body to stay in the air for an extra moment of observation time. It was at this moment that Akashi Asuka discovered a loophole in Yinju's defense.
"Vulnerability? What vulnerability?"
Kuroo Tetsuro was also stunned for a moment. If we talk about other aspects, Nekoma may have many flaws, but only in defense, whether it is Kuroo Tetsuro or all Nekoma players, they are full of confidence in their own formation.
So when Akashi Asuka suddenly suggested that there were loopholes in their defense, Kuroo Tetsuro's first reaction was not suspicion, but questioning.
But in the next second.
Kuroo Tetsurou understood what the loophole Akashi Asuka was talking about.
boom!!!
With a roar, the volleyball in mid-air suddenly left Akashi Asuka's palm, and then... fell straight towards where Kuroo Tetsurou was.
Kuroo Tetsuro's heart skipped a beat.
"Oops, the thug is out of bounds!"
The first thought that came to mind was that the opponent wanted to use his body to bounce the volleyball out of bounds. This is indeed a very common technique in volleyball matches, so Kuroo Tetsuro hurriedly lowered his arms and wanted to directly
Intercept the volleyball and return it to Qingcheng Stadium.
But after waiting for a few seconds.
Kuroo Tetsurou found that there was no sensation of the volleyball hitting his body. After a moment of confusion, the sound of the volleyball hitting the ground suddenly came from under his feet.
【Oh oh oh oh...】
【Beautiful, wonderful!】
[Asuka Akashi's player reproduced the vertical smash. Facing the tight defense of Nekoma High School, Akashi Asuka's player hit a vertical smash attack that was close to the one-meter line of the block. In this direction, even Nekoma couldn't time it.
Make remedial measures.]
Beep~~~
This smash was almost perpendicular to the ground at a 90-degree angle, directly triggering Yinju's first timeout of the game.
When Kuroo Tetsuro landed, looking at the traces left on the floor from the smash just now, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
"·······"
This position does seem to be a loophole in Yinju's defense.
However, can a serious person really launch an attack from this angle?
