Shan Lan's pause this time was not to deploy new tactics, but purely to regroup.
The opponent scored three points in a row at the beginning, which really stunned Shan Lan.
What's more, it's come to this point.
Most tactical strategies have basically lost their effect. The only strategy that coach Shan Lan can still deploy is to target Nishimori Tomohiko.
Although it is not clear why this substitute setter also has such a high tacit understanding with the opponent's 'ace', there is a high probability that he only has a high tacit understanding with the 'ace', so as long as the substitute setter organizes the offense, they only need to keep an eye on him.
Just be sure to match the opponent's trump card.
After coach Shan Lan laid out this strategy, the game was restarted.
By strengthening the defense, after the opening again, and through a three-person block, Shan Lan finally blocked Akashi Asuka's spike in the second round of attack.
The score came to 4:1.
Nishimori Tomohiko's appearance strengthened Akashi Asuka's core offensive ability, but it also left a gap in the backcourt defense. Therefore, when Shanlan starts to attack, if Xianguo cannot defend effectively on the block, there is a high probability that he will be defeated.
The opponent scores.
5:1.
5:2.
6:2.
6:3.
······
As the game became more intense, the players from both sides gradually entered the stage of fighting for points.
However, relying on the three-point advantage at the beginning, Xianguo always maintained its leading position. In a blink of an eye, the game entered the match point. At this time, the score between the two sides was 24:19.
The last ball was served by Nishimori Tomohiko. The volleyball flew over the block and was picked up by Yama Arashi as a free agent. Yama Arashi immediately organized an attack, but was blocked by Jujiro Kazama in the frontcourt.
The volleyball flew into the sky above the Xianguo court and became an opportunity ball for Xianguo to attack.
"Stop him!"
At this point, Shanlan's three frontcourt blockers completely gave up on the others and decisively approached Akashi Asuka's direction, and the last ball indeed fell into Akashi Asuka's hands.
Bang!
With three people blocking the ball directly in front of him, Asuka Akashi made a diagonal pass without hesitation, crossed the wall, and hit the three-meter line on the floor.
When the volleyball hit the ground, the referee's whistle sounded throughout the field.
25:19.
The game is over.
In the fifth round of the national competition qualifying round, the winner is Xianguo Middle School.
······
the other side.
The match venue between Beichuan No. 1 vs Quanshi Middle School.
Shortly after the Fairyland side ended, the winner was decided, and the final winner was Beichuan No. 1.
······
······
"The long-awaited battle is finally here!"
In the evening, Akashi Asuka lay on his back on the bed in his bedroom and whispered. What appeared in front of his eyes was a data panel that only he could see.
——
Host: Akashi Asuka
Strength: 80.2 [core strength 80, arm strength 80.4]
Just after the extra training this afternoon, Akashi Asuka's two attributes of [Core Strength] and [Arm Strength] finally broke through to above 80.
Breakthrough before the battle.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Akashi Asuka.
Although it seems to be just a breakthrough in statistics, in fact, after the breakthrough of [Core Strength], it is linked with the attribute of [Arm Strength], and the result is that Akashi Asuka's smashing power has been raised to another level.
Now his spiking power is no less than that of Dong Fengxu in his peak period. Even in high school, he can be called a "main slugger".
Needless to say, in junior high school, two words are enough to describe...
Indiscriminate killing.
In addition, after this period of training, Akashi Asuka's [Power Jump] has finally crossed the threshold of 75, and a large part of this factor is due to the state that was accidentally triggered during today's match with Yamalan Industries.
······
the next day.
The Fairyland team arrived at the venue early.
For today's game, all members of the Xianguo team were holding their breath in their hearts.
The stadium seemed a bit empty because there were only two games in total today, namely [Senguo Middle School vs. Kitagawa No. 1] and [Kwangsen Academy vs. Chisei Middle School].
However, although the arena was very empty, the number of people in the audience was much larger than before.
After all, it is now the semifinals. Even if the junior high school competition does not attract as much attention as the high school competition, at this time, there are still some viewers and even reporters who are more interested.
The first game was [Xianguo Middle School vs. Beichuan No. 1].
After the two teams entered the stadium through the player tunnel, before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder gradually began to fill the air.
"Please give me more advice."
"Please give me more advice."
Both sides warmed up separately, saluted each other after the end, and then the game officially began.
The feud between Xianguo and Beichuan No. 1 was probably not known to many in the audience. After all, during the county sports meeting, Xianguo and Beichuan No. 1 met in the 16-to-8 match.
At that time, neither the Fairyland team itself nor the rounds of the competition were worthy of attention.
But just because others don't know it, doesn't mean the two teams themselves don't know it either.
There is no need to say more about the fairyland.
In order to face the Immortal Kingdom, Beichuan No. 1 has made a lot of preparations during this period, and the more they study the Immortal Kingdom, the more everyone in Beichuan No. 1 can feel how terrifying the current team of the Immortal Kingdom is.
The first game begins.
Xianguo takes the lead in serving.
Facing Beichuan No. 1, Shimokawa Sandu did not come up with an opening strategy to deal with Shanlan Industrial.
Because Kitagawa Daiichi's defense is much more solid than Yamaran Industries, if Akashi Asuka takes the first ball and fails to score, then Akashi Asuka can only stay in the backcourt, and Senkuni will easily fall into a disadvantage in the opening game.
So I chose Oda Miki to start the first ball.
Kitagawa's No. 1 libero caught the serve steadily, and in the next second, Kitagawa's No. 1 players Kindaichi and Kunimi Hide in the frontcourt, as well as the No. 1 general in the backcourt, jumped up at the same time.
Attack simultaneously in the first rhythm.
Senkuni's blocker looked at the several figures in front of him, and his attention was involuntarily dazzled. Even Akashi Asuka couldn't predict Kageyama Tobio's pass.
By the time the Xianguo blocker reacted, the volleyball had already fallen into his own boundary.
Beep!
0:1.
The referee blew the whistle and announced that Beichuan scored first.
"hateful!"
Masato Ohmae waved his fist unwillingly.
Exchange of service rights.
Kitagawa No. 1 was served by Kunimi Hide after the rotation. After the volleyball fell into the Senkuni boundary, it was picked up by Oda Miki, and then the second pass passed the ball directly in front of Akashi Asuka.
Compared to Kitagawa No.1's tactics, Senkuni's offensive intention was very obvious. Before Akashi Asuka could spike the ball, the opponent's block was already in place.
But the next second.
Akashi Asuka jumped up, faced the opponent's blocker Kanedaichi, and swung his arm suddenly to hit the ball.
Bang!
A louder sound than any previous smash exploded in the air. The next moment, the flying volleyball hit Kindaichi's arm, and then broke through the obstacle unstoppably...
Thanks to the chance of survival, the reward of 100 coins from the deep space corner.
