The sound of heavy breathing kept reappearing in the white team's stadium, and the inexplicably depressing atmosphere seemed to make breathing become heavier.
Big beads of sweat kept dripping down Iwaizumi's chins. Only by raising his head to the sky at a 45-degree angle could he barely prevent the sweat from slipping into his eyes.
"It seems that Oikawa's situation is a bit bad."
"Um!"
Off the court, Nobuteru Irihata held his chin and said: "The smash just now had a great impact on the white team, because it was a point scored when the white team was fully defensive, even if everyone knew in their hearts that it was
Spikes cannot be copied, but in a game, this kind of 'miracle ball' is the most serious blow to morale."
On the field, this kind of 'miracle ball' that smashes and scores even after the enemy has blocked all offensive routes will often create a feeling in the enemy's heart: "Our strongest defense can't stop the opponent, so wouldn't an ordinary defense?"
Even more useless” impression.
Once this impression appears, it will cause a huge blow to morale.
To be honest, he didn't expect the game to reach this point.
Although before the start of this game, Nobuteru Irihata also expected that Akashi Asuka would perform brilliantly, but he did not expect that the opponent would actually show such power.
And more importantly, the other freshmen admitted this year also have quite dazzling talents.
Although Kindaichi Yutaro and Kunimi Hide are still a little immature in terms of their skills, they have heights that are comparable even to those of high school students. With such heights, the freshman team has a powerful blocker that is not inferior to the senior team.
As a setter, Ryuhei Mikata has an amazing tacit understanding with Akashi Asuka, although he doesn't cooperate well with the others.
In addition, Akashi Asuka himself is a super ace attacker in the junior high school stage.
Add the two.
This makes the freshmen team have an offensive power that is not inferior to... or even exceeds that of the old freshmen team.
After all, although they are the top four in the county, Qingcheng itself is not actually an offensive team. Although Oikawa Toru is a super offensive setter, Qingcheng's real strength lies in its tacit tactical cooperation and balanced individuals.
strength.
If it were a fully formed Qingcheng team, it would be impossible for Xinsheng to be their opponent with their current strength, because although the fully formed Qingcheng team may not have a stronger offensive power than it does now, its overall defense and coordination would be flawless.
But the problem is that before the game started, Nobuteru Irihata assigned Qingcheng's strongest libero to the freshman team.
The original purpose of doing this was just to add a little bit of fighting power to the freshmen so that they would not lose too badly, but unexpectedly it became the last straw for the white team.
The current strength comparison between the two teams:
In terms of offense, the red team is slightly better than half.
In blocking defense, the red and white teams were evenly matched.
With tactical coordination, the white team completely defeated the red team.
Backcourt defense, because the main libero moves from the white team to the red team, one plus one minus, the red team is stronger than the white team.
Thinking of this, Irimata Nobuteru couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried now.
Common sense.
He should be happy now. After all, it is just the welcome game. When this game is over, Akashi Asuka and others will become Qingcheng players. Therefore, the brighter the newcomers perform, it will be a good thing for the Qingcheng volleyball club.
But the problem also arises here. Because Akashi Asuka and others are newcomers, if they defeat the old students on the first day they join the club, I really want to imagine whether this group of newcomers will have some bad mentality in the future...
····
Iriyata Nobuteru: "(o▽｀o)Oh! How wonderful! The position of coach is not that easy to sit in!"
······
Just as Nobuteru Irihata predicted, the morale of the white team is now close to hitting rock bottom.
In the minds of Hanamaki Takata, Matsukawa Kazushige, Yatomo Hide, and others, the uncontrollable replay of the incredible spike they just scored was played back.
A curve ball was smashed from outside the boundary of the court and pressed to the sideline to score.
This kind of ball is difficult to hit even in daily spiking training, let alone in official games, but now someone is using this incredible ball to score in their block.
It is obviously impossible to say that we will not be hit at all.
Oikawa Toru stood in the backcourt with his hands on his hips, recalling the trajectory of the ball just now, but after a while, the figure smashing the ball changed from Akashi Asuka to another figure that was taller and more oppressive.
And gradually, the two figures in my mind began to overlap a little...
Oikawa Toru clenched his fists, and his eyes gradually became darker. But at this moment, he heard a voice suddenly ringing from his ears: "Hey! Bastard Oikawa, if you dare to think of Ushiwaka during the game, I'll beat you up!"
Oikawa Tooru: "(Д)ノ"!!!
Oikawa Tetsu suddenly shook his head and came back to his senses instantly. Then he turned around slightly stiffly and saw Iwaizumi Kazuo with his fist already hardened.
"Uh~~ Iwaizumi-chan, are you the roundworm in my stomach?"
Iwaizumi sneered: "Ha! Your thoughts are completely reflected on your face... I'm warning you, idiot Oikawa, our current opponent is not Ushiwaka, and if you can't even defeat the newcomer in front of you,
, but you are not qualified to defeat Ushiwaka."
Oikawa Tetsu was slightly startled.
Then the gloominess on his face gradually disappeared, and the spring-like smile of the past appeared again.
"You're absolutely right, Iwaizumi-chan. If we can't deal with these stinky newcomers, let alone Ushiwaka, I'm afraid we won't even be able to preserve the dignity of our seniors!"
"So, Iwaizumi-chan, are you ready?"
"Isn't this nonsense? That's bullshit Oikawa. Let us teach these newcomers how to respect their seniors!" Iwaizumi squeezed his fingers hard, instantly sweeping away the dejection in the air, and said with high spirits.
Seeing this, Nobuteru Irihata and the assistant coach under the court, their eyes flickered slightly, and they chuckled: "It seems that our 'ace' is also unwilling to admit defeat!"
The referee's whistle sounds and the red team serves again.
An ordinary overhand serve passed over the block, and was then firmly caught by Yatomo Hide. Then the ball fell into Oikawa Toru's hands. It only stayed for a moment. The volleyball left a nearly parallel straight line in the air, and instantly flew to Iwaizumi Ichi, who had already taken off.
before.
"Don't underestimate your seniors! First-year brats, we didn't waste our time in the past two years..."
Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi made a sudden "flat pull" and completely avoided Kindaichi's defensive range. Facing the empty space in front of them, Iwaizumi roared in his heart and suddenly waved his arms.
The next second.
boom!
Boom!
Two consecutive collision sounds sounded at the same time, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
While he was in the air, Iwaizumi's pupils suddenly shrank. At the same time, on the floor behind him, a volleyball bounced high.
After landing.
Iwaizumi opened his eyes with violent fluctuations and looked to the opposite side. He saw Akashi Asuka's tall figure through the barrier, like a mountain, shrouding him in shadow.
Looking down with calm eyes, he said calmly: "Iwaizumi-senpai, what you just said is indeed correct, I am not Ushijima-senpai. Because Ushijima-senpai never participates in defense in games, but... I
