Back in the rest area, Kuroo Tetsurou was still thinking about a serious question.
Can the place where Asuka Akashi attacked just now really be regarded as a loophole in Nekoma's defense?
What is the difference between such a smash and a strong one?
"Qingcheng's defense is somewhat beyond expectations. Judging from the current situation, their blocking has achieved no loopholes."
Lone Claw said thoughtfully.
The main reason why he said this was not other than Iwaizumi's interception of Kuroo Tetsuro before, which made him discover that even the area that seemed to be the weakest in Qingcheng's blockade still had a very strong blocking level.
Coach Nemomata on the side agreed, saying: "Aojo only became famous in the national competition last year, and at that time, even the angles reported in monthly magazines were mainly focused on two outstanding players, Akashi Asuka and Oikawa Toru."
"So many people, including you, have subconsciously overlooked one detail, which is that in the first few games of last year's national competition, Qingcheng briefly played the title of 'Iron Wall'!"
"However, because Qingcheng later encountered opponents such as Xiaogu, Fusaka, and Jingdashan one after another, the entire team's defense was defeated one after another, so everyone's attention shifted from Qingcheng's defense."
"But in fact, Qingcheng's blocking has never been weak. It's just that they had bad luck last year and the opponents they encountered were too strong, so they gave people this illusion."
"The real situation is that Qingcheng's blocking is at the first-class level even in national level competitions."
"And because all Qingcheng players are of average height and skill, their blocking stability and comprehensiveness cannot be compared with that of even a few schools across the country."
Coach Nekomata's words were like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, once again causing turmoil within the Nekoma team.
"If I go, how can I fight here?"
"No wonder I said that there was something wrong with today's game. After working on it for a long time, Qingcheng's blocking turned out to be so strong?"
"Speaking of which, old man, if you have known about this for a long time, why didn't you tell us in advance before the game! This way we can be prepared!"
The old coach Nekomata scratched his head and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha~~~ I'm just guessing about this. After all, even I, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, would have found it hard to believe that a high school could attack
It has reached this point on both ends of the defense!"
Although Coach Nekomata smiled freely, he was also quite emotional in his heart.
He knew very well that Qingcheng's blockers did not actually have the kind of truly national-level blockers, but the blocking advantage of this team was highlighted in an all-round way. No matter how the players rotate on the court, they can guarantee that there is at least one player in the frontcourt.
To two blockers over 190cm tall.
Moreover, the height of the remaining two players is basically guaranteed to be 180cm, or even above 185cm.
There are no top blockers.
This means that Qingcheng's blocking may be difficult to defend against an attacker like the national ace.
But this kind of comprehensive and almost flawless blocking also means that Qingcheng can completely block the opponent's attacks anytime and anywhere when facing teams with weaker offensive power.
So in a sense, Qingcheng can be called Yinju's natural enemy.
"Grinding, how far are you in your calculations?" Kuroo Tetsurou asked.
"There is still a long way to go. I haven't seen through the behavior patterns of the two people on the opposite side yet, but I discovered one thing that may help us delay the game a little bit." Lone Claw Grinding spoke feebly, speaking word by word.
"Those two people can only be put aside temporarily. After all, even if these two people see through their actions, they may not be able to prevent them from scoring."
Although Guzhao Momo didn't mention them by name, Kuroo Tetsuro obviously knew who the two people Guzhao Momo was talking about.
"Okay, everyone, let us say it again!"
Kuroo Tetsuro stood up, called all the members together, and then said in a low and powerful voice: "We are blood, we must flow smoothly and transport oxygen, in order for the [brain] to function normally..."
Come on!!!"
"OH!!!"
······
"It seems that Nekoma's style is still the same as before, not much has changed!" On the other side of the stadium, in the Qingcheng rest area, Irimata Nobuteru thought while stroking his chin after watching the game just now.
"Coach, isn't Nekoma's style too extreme? Although the defense is indeed very strong, the attack power is too mediocre! Even Iwaizumi-chan can block the opponent's smash..."
Apart from Oikawa Tooru, there is no other person in Qingcheng who can say such unworthy words.
So before Oikawa Toru finished speaking, Iwaizumi's fist landed on his forehead with a bang, knocking all the rest of Oikawa Toru's words back into his stomach.
Nobuteru Iriyata: "········"
"Yinju has indeed been such a defensive team in the past, but this year their style seems to have become a bit more flexible, and the connection of the entire team seems to be smoother than before...
"
"Ah! Regarding this, I think it must be because of the setter on the opposite side!"
As time passed, Iwaizumi's ordinary heavy hammer could no longer stop Oikawa Tetsu's foul mouth.
"Onkoma's setter?" Irimata was stunned and looked across the way. If Oikawa Toru hadn't mentioned it, Irimata would have almost forgotten that Nenkoma had a setter.
The setter is the soul of a team. For viewers who don’t understand volleyball, people who pass the ball may be easily ignored. However, Nobuteru Iriehata is an old coach. As long as it is a normal game, he will never forget it.
The presence of the opposing setter.
The reason why this is happening now can only mean one thing, that is, in the previous game, Yinju's setter performance was too ordinary.
"Is there anything noteworthy about that setter?"
"Actually, I don't know. If I have to say it, it's probably just an intuition! After all, the first impression this person gave me was quite annoying!" Oikawa Tetsu pretended to be deep.
Nobuteru Irinahata was silent for a moment.
Then he turned to look at Akashi Asuka and said, "Akashi, what do you think?"
Before each Akashi Asuka competition, some strange news would often appear. Although the source was mysterious, the accuracy was quite high. This matter has basically become the consensus of Qingcheng.
"I agree with Oikawa-senpai. Although Nekoma's setter has average technical skills, he is a master of the game and has a very flexible mind..."
