Several Qingcheng frontcourt players hugged the backs of their heads in tacit understanding, and then uniformly moved away from the middle of the court.
The action was so fast and neat that even the Jingdashan players on the opposite side couldn't help but look surprised.
Why are you so skilled?
The Qingcheng players glanced at them and didn't respond, but in the next second, the Jingdishan players understood what was going on.
boom!!!
The familiar roar came from the sky above Qingcheng Stadium.
To be honest, for this kind of weird hitting sound, it stands to reason that the people in Jingda Mountain should have gotten used to it after such a long time, but the fact is that from the summer vacation to now, every time the people in Jingda Mountain hear Akashi Asuka
When the smash and serve are heard, the little hearts can't help but flutter.
Woo~~
The flying volleyball is like a big bird. Not only is it extremely fast, but its trajectory in the air is erratic.
Um?
Erratic?
Suddenly, Jingdashan's libero saw Akashi Asuka's ball keep turning in mid-air, and even almost hit the back of his own player's head. His pupils instantly expanded: "Be careful, this is a 'banana ball'!"
Motoya Komori's reminder is definitely timely, but sometimes the speed of sound propagation may not be able to catch up with the speed of the volleyball.
Boom!
There was no surprise at all. He avoided Motoya Komori's [banana jump serve] and easily landed on the court of Jingda Mountain, scoring another point.
9:6.
"OH!!!"
"Well done, Akashi!"
The Jingdashan players were stunned, while everyone in Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly rushed towards Akashi Asuka, cheering loudly in celebration.
Except for Oikawa Tooru who was almost hit by a volleyball just now.
"Hey~~Akashi, do you want to kill me?"
After realizing it later, Oikawa Tooru broke into a cold sweat. It was so scary. The moment he was passed by by the volleyball, he almost heard the sound of an ambulance.
"Sorry, Oikawa-senpai, I will aim a little more next time." Akashi Asuka decisively admitted his mistake.
In fact, Oikawa Toru wasn't really angry at first. After all, Akashi Asuka's serve never hit the target, and all Aoki's teammates knew it, otherwise they wouldn't have practiced such a tacit understanding of [covering the back of the head].
Huh? Wrong?
Akashi Asuka's serve never locks in the direction, and the landing point is random.
So what exactly did he intend to aim at when he just said "aim at a certain point"?
Oikawa Tooru suddenly woke up, feeling as if he had discovered something extraordinary. Just when he was about to question Akashi Asuka, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.
Jing Dashan called the first timeout of the game.
······
"What to do?"
In the Jingda Mountain rest area, Tsuna Iizada, as the captain, took a sip of water and opened his mouth to ask Sakuha Seomi and Komori Motoya.
Understand it.
Although Tsuna Iizho is the captain of Idayama, and as the setter, he is also the soul of the team.
He should have been the one to determine the main tactics to deal with Qingcheng.
But the opponent I faced this time was completely different from before!
As mentioned before the game, today's battle between Jingdishan and Qingcheng has very little effect in terms of tactics and strategies. To be more direct, today's game is a 'star showdown'.
Don't say anything else.
If Jingdashan is unable to restrain Akashi Asuka today, the outcome will most likely be disastrous.
"What if we fight a physical battle? Qingcheng's side currently relies on Akashi Asuka for its main offensive and defensive firepower, while we have two national-level aces..."
I don't know who suddenly came up with such a bad idea. Before he finished speaking, Sakuza Seiomi and Komori Motoya looked at him strangely.
Are you sure you're not an undercover agent sent by the other side?
Fighting physically?
It's a shame you can think of it. I'm afraid you've forgotten how Asuka Akashi was trained physically during the special summer training!
Recalling the time they spent at the beach with Akashi Asuka in the summer, Motoya Komori and Seiko Sakuza felt their scalps numb inexplicably.
I remember when Jingda Mountain first entered the beach in Miyagi Prefecture.
A group of people are full of enthusiasm and devote themselves to training, for no other reason than to win a few fewer games and run a few fewer laps [500-meter cross-country running].
But what did Akashi Asuka do?
This ungrateful bastard just lost the game and went for a run. What the hell, he actually won the game and followed the losing team with a penalty run.
And the first run is at least a one-thousand-meter cross-country start.
Take a look.
Is this something that humans can do?
And as the ace of Jingda Mountain, one of the top three aces in the country, and the number one libero in the country, he has already watched others train more than him, how can he remain indifferent?
So later.
After almost every training session, ordinary players from the four teams of Jingda Mountain, Qingcheng, Uzaka, and Shiratorizawa can see the ace players of their own teams running for extra practice under the sunset.
Rolling up all the players of the four teams with one person's power, this is what Asuka Akashi did in the summer.
Until now.
Sakuza Seomi and Komori Genya still feel shuddering when they think about the extra training during the summer vacation.
You know, it would be fine if it was just for extra practice, but what really frightens these people is that everyone is doing extra practice together on the first day.
But by the next day, everyone else felt exhausted and sore all over. But Akashi Asuka, a freak, acted like a normal person, training with the team, and then continued to practice more, and the cycle continued...
Since that day.
Although the players from the three teams of Shiratorizawa, Kosaka and Idayama didn’t say it, deep down in their hearts, they had silently crossed out the tactic of ‘physical warfare’ from the ‘tactical board against Qingcheng’.
"That was really an unforgettable past!"
Komori Yuan also sighed, obviously recalling some not-so-wonderful things.
"Captain, Shengchen, leave Akashi's offense to me! Give me three goals, and I will be able to catch his smash rhythm," Motoya Komori said.
"Is there any problem?" Sakuzao Shengchen also rarely expressed concern.
"Hahaha... It's rare to hear such words from your mouth, Holy Minister! But don't worry! Although the guys in Qingcheng have made amazing progress since the summer, we didn't waste it in vain.
A few months!”
······
Beep~~~
The referee blew the whistle again, and the players from Qingcheng and Jingdashan teams returned to the field.
As soon as they returned to the court this time, Oikawa Toru and others immediately noticed the changes in many Jingdaoshan players: "Huh? Did they stabilize their morale so quickly? It's really Jingdaoshan!"
before suspending.
Although Jingdashan's momentum is relatively stable, it has been suppressed by Qingcheng continuously. The dignity of being a 'king' still makes Jingdashan players feel a little more impetuous and stressed.
But now, after just a short 60-second pause, he has regained his composure so quickly.
"Well!! But this doesn't mean much to us. After all, this monster of mine can no longer use timeouts to interrupt the touch. Maybe even after this timeout, his condition will improve!"
Oikawa Toru's murmur will naturally not be heard by the Jingdashan players, but in fact it doesn't make much difference whether they can hear it or not.
Because the moment Asuka Akashi stood on the teeing ground again, the expressions of all the Jingdashan players changed instantly.
"What's going on? This guy's momentum..."
Since Idayama's coach would choose to pause at this time, he naturally had carefully studied Akashi Asuka's characteristics.
Through videos of past games.
Idayama's coach found that although Akashi Asuka's serve was sharp and fierce, if he suddenly paused the game when he was at his hottest, there would be a nearly 60% chance of directly interrupting Akashi Asuka's touch.
This is also the reason why Jing Dashan chose to suspend the game after the second ball was served.
But now, after a 60-second pause, Akashi Asuka's aura not only has not cooled down, but seems to have become even higher. Why is this?
All the Jingdashan players were filled with doubts, but this was no longer the time for them to think.
Because at this time, Akashi Asuka had already thrown the volleyball high into the sky. Seeing this almost perfect throw, the entire body of Jingdashan tensed up instantly.
‘The ball is there!’
There was no warning at all, but even the opponent Jingdashan players, after seeing Akashi Asuka's throw, a thought emerged in their hearts.
And the results were just as their whims dictated.
boom!!!
With a violent roar, the back half of the volleyball that was hit by Akashi Asuka's palm seemed to be completely dented, but at that moment, the volleyball strangely did not move forward at all.
It wasn't until the volleyball seemed to deform into a 'bowl' shape that a wave of air suddenly exploded in mid-air, and then everyone saw a beam of light piercing the sky and suddenly flying towards the Jingda Mountain Stadium.
"Damn it, are you trying to kill someone?"
Motoya Komori, who was looking at the ball flying towards him, turned slightly pale.
As the country's No. 1 libero, Genya Komori will naturally not be intimidated by pure 'speed' and 'power'. But this time, the ball served by Akashi Asuka made him feel an inexplicable chill.
Volleyball can contain belief.
Although it feels unscientific to say this, in fact, Komori Yuan occasionally does receive one or two goals that contain a "firm will" attack.
Although an attack like this may not look much different from an ordinary serve or smash on the surface, it is indeed more difficult to catch than an ordinary attack.
But generally speaking.
The will and belief contained in the ball he caught were mostly thoughts of "victory" and "scoring".
But he has never encountered the belief contained in Akashi Asuka's ball...
[Destruction] and [Destruction]!
These are the two beliefs Motoya Komori noticed from this ball.
Rather than saying it is belief, Komori Yuan feels that it is more like some kind of 'desire'. There is no other emotion, no victory or defeat, and no distinction between friend and foe. It is just like a pure and incomparable 'desire' like a wild beast.
"Is this guy really a human? Is he here to play ball or to hunt?"
Yuan Komori was stunned when he first came into contact with Akashi Asuka's [brutal] state. After playing volleyball for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a main attacker.
Komori Yuan also had the courage to catch the volleyball. As expected, the moment he touched the volleyball, he already felt an unimaginable force coming towards him.
Faced with this force, Yuan Komori was in a receiving position. It was very difficult just to keep his center of gravity stable, let alone to release his strength to catch the ball.
As a last resort.
Komori Yuan could only sit back, hoping that this would relieve some of the power of his serve.
Snap!
Plop!
Two voices sounded one after another.
The previous one was the sound of Genya Komori picking up the volleyball, but because he didn't control his strength well, the ball had just returned to the sky and had already flown to Qingcheng Stadium.
The latter sound was the sound of Motoya Komori sitting down on the ground.
"Pay attention to blocking! Be careful..."
Seeing the volleyball flying directly back to Qingcheng Stadium, Yuan Komori couldn't help but remind him loudly.
However, before he finished speaking, the depths of his pupils reflected a huge figure leaping high. Across the block, that figure spread its wings like an eagle, and slapped the volleyball that had just flown back to Qingcheng.
, once again photographed the underground of Jingda Mountain.
Boom!
The volleyball hit the Jingdashan court hard.
10:6.
Akashi Asuka landed from the air and helped Qingcheng score the third consecutive point. His eyes at this time were cold and ruthless like a killer.
【Oh oh oh oh...】
[Reappearance of KO, Asuka Akashi once again knocked his opponent to the ground with KO. With such monster-like power, if I hadn’t been there in person, it would be really hard for me to imagine that this was a volleyball match. 】
The commentator in the stands obviously also found the traffic password.
Now every time Akashi Asuka scores, he no longer explains around the score, but instead talks about a volleyball match as if it were boxing.
"It's okay!"
Sakuza Seoomi stretched out his hand to pull Komori Genya up and said: "It seems that we misjudged something again. Now it seems that using a timeout can no longer interrupt the guy's serving touch."
Komori Yuan also shook his head: "It's not that it can't be interrupted. After the pause, this monster's state not only did not fall back, but became even more intense. If I guessed correctly, I estimate that during this period, he should have encountered the guidance of an expert."
The skill of maintaining form during pauses has always been a problem that all players, including professional players, want to solve.
But there are very few people who can actually do it.
Because there is never a fixed technique that can help all players. If you want to maintain your condition perfectly, you can only do it by finding your own method and practicing it.
Akashi Asuka's tips for maintaining his condition have been developed since last semester, but the real completion stage was only fully formed when he played a practice match with the professional team [Tokai Heavy Industries] some time before spring high school.
