There was a 30-second technical pause, and no one spoke, only the sound of continuous breathing.
When Coach Oudai saw the appearance of his players, he secretly sighed in his heart. It was probably unlikely that he would win this game.
I saw Akashi Asuka in the rest area opposite, sweating profusely but still looking calm.
Coach Oudai felt an inexplicable sigh in his heart: "How can there be a bright stone when there is a sea of stars?"
"How can we deal with Akashi Asuka?"
Just as Coach Odai sighed secretly, Suwa Aikichi, who returned to the rest area, also began to think crazily about strategies to deal with Akashi Asuka.
"It is almost impossible to limit the opponent's scoring now. Then at least in terms of scoring efficiency, we cannot lose to the opponent..."
Strategies kept popping up in his mind, but Suwa Aiji dismissed them one by one.
Until the end.
Even Suwa Aikichi couldn't help but feel despair.
Because he found that no matter how much Ootai resisted, there seemed to be no possibility of turning defeat into victory.
Don't say anything else.
Speaking of serving alone, unless Oikawa Toru and Akashi Asuka will make mistakes and lose points every time they serve, this advantage alone will be enough for Aoki to open up a gap of at least three or four points between Oudai.
Outai was already at a disadvantage.
If we add this gap of three to four points, the defeat is basically certain.
The 30 second pause ends quickly.
Seeing the referee blowing the whistle again, Suwa Aiji could only slowly get up and walk towards the arena with a heavy and desperate heart.
But just a second before everyone was about to go on stage, Suwa Aiji's ear suddenly heard the voice of Hoshikai Hikari.
"Captain, let me go one-on-one with Akashi Asuka in the next game!"
"What?"
Suwa Aiji suddenly raised his head and looked at Hoshikai Hikari in disbelief.
"Guanglai, do you know what you just said? Are you sure?"
Xinghai Guanglai calmly shook his head and said: "No, but... we can only fight to the death now, can't we?"
Suwa Aiji was silent. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, a firm look flashed in his eyes, and said: "Okay, just do as you say, I will support you from behind."
As Xinghai Guanglai said, now Outai has fallen off the cliff with one foot, so they have no choice.
Defeating without a fight is impossible for Outai.
Even if a dead horse becomes a live doctor, Outai will try his best and fight until the last moment.
······
Back on the field.
Hoshikai Hikaru returned to the 1v1 position with Akashi Asuka. Maybe it was because he had been playing team volleyball before, so Hoshikai Hikaru didn't feel deeply about it.
But now that he was completely one-on-one with Akashi Asuka, Xinghai Guanglai suddenly realized that the momentum of the first-year opposite was simply unbelievably powerful.
The last time I experienced this feeling was when Hikaru Hoshikai, a first-year substitute, participated in the national competition for the first time and faced the monster Wakali Ushijima.
But now, Xinghai Guanglai is already in his second year, and he is still Outai’s ‘ace’.
He can be very confident that even if he meets Ushijima Wakali head-on now, the other party will not put such great pressure on him.
"Could it be said that this guy has surpassed that monster Ushiwaka?"
The sudden idea startled Xinghai Guanglai, but after thinking about it carefully, Xinghai Guanglai realized that this idea did not seem to be possible.
Then Xinghai Guanglai was shocked by himself again.
"It's really outrageous. I really don't know who is the dark horse team."
Heavy pressure fell on his heart. For a moment, Xinghai Guanglai felt as if he had returned to the time when he participated in the national competition for the first time. That kind of nervousness but mixed with the thought of not admitting defeat kept emerging in his heart...
Akashi Asuka stood on the other side of the barrier, feeling the change in Xinghaiguang's momentum, and raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.
"This feeling, does it mean that this person has also entered?"
"Beep~~"
With a whistle, the game started again.
Score 8:5.
That is, Qingcheng has the right to serve, and then Outai takes the lead.
Suwa Aiji received a pass, looked at Kindaichi defensively, and then without hesitation passed the volleyball into the sky above Hoshikai Korai.
Akashi Asuka jumped decisively and once again formed a 1v1 with Xinghai Guanglai.
The two of them stayed in mid-air with their powerful staying power. Akashi Asuka still wanted to find the opponent's attack route with his center of gravity, but in the next second, Akashi Asuka didn't wait for Akashi Asuka to react.
Bang!
With a bang.
Akashi Asuka felt a breeze blowing past his ears, and then heard a muffled sound from behind him.
Beep~
The referee's whistle blows.
8:6.
In the backcourt of Qingcheng, Iwaizumi Kazuo and Watanaji Haru's eyes were dull, as if they had seen some incredible scene, with shock on their faces.
"What happened just now?"
Hoshikai Hikaru's smashes are not as fierce as Akashi Asuka's, but his technique and placement are almost perfect. This is Hoshikai Hikaru under normal conditions.
But the goal just now had already surpassed this realm.
The eyes of Watachikaji and Iwaizumi Kazuo clearly captured Hoshikai Hikari's smash just now, but neither of them could react at all.
It's not how fast the ball is.
It's because the ball just now happened to hit the blind spot of the two defenses at the perfect time and at the perfect spot.
The players from Oudai High School were also stunned for a moment.
But then a group of people cheered wildly, as if they wanted to release all the grievances they had suffered before.
However, as the protagonist who had just scored a point, Xinghai Guanglai could not see any excitement or excitement in his eyes, only as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
This inexplicable feeling of familiarity immediately caused a fine chill to appear on Oikawa Tetsu's back.
Next round.
It was Outai's turn to serve, and Qingcheng took the main attack.
In this round of offense, Oikawa Toru still passed the ball to Akashi Asuka. Akashi Asuka took off and hit a big diagonal shot that went straight to the baseline behind the court.
But the moment the volleyball flew out, the smash that should have bypassed all Ou Tai's defense was actually blocked by Xinghai Guanglai.
There was a crisp snap.
Akashi Asuka's smash hit Hoshikai Kikarui's arm hard.
The huge impact caused a sea of stars in mid-air to appear, and the whole body tilted, but the opponent still supported it forcefully, until finally, the ball was actually blocked by the opponent.
Although the volleyball hit the ground, it bounced out of bounds because of too much force.
Qingcheng successfully scored this point.
9:6.
But this accident still frightened everyone in Qingcheng.
After all, it wouldn't matter if it was someone else's smash, but this was a meteorite heavy cannon shot by Akashi Asuka with all his strength!
Oikawa Toru looked at Xinghai Guanglai, who landed smoothly on the opposite side, with a bad expression on his face.
"This group of guys, at this time, still refuse to admit defeat?"
