All along, among the six basic skills, blocking has data second only to spiking.
Akashi Asuka didn't show much blocking skills in the first game. As Oikawa Toru guessed, it was to give his opponent a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Secondly, it's because Asuka Akashi doesn't want his opponent to adapt to his blocking rhythm as quickly as possible.
The game is a process of continuous adaptation, no matter how outrageous or incredible your serve or attack is. Once the opponent adapts to your rhythm, no matter how strong the attack or defense is, the threat will gradually decrease.
On the contrary, when a 'new skill' first appears, it is often the time when it poses the greatest threat.
so······
boom!
Boom!
The powerful smash hit Akashi Asuka's arms, and bounced to the floor behind Iwaizumi Kazuo.
2:0.
The red team scores one more point.
After landing, Asuka Akashi looked at Oikawa Tooru with a surprised look on his face and said, "No way! No way! Oikawa-senpai, you didn't really think that I was going to defend Hanamaki-senpai just now, did you?"
In the first kick of the game, Akashi Asuka used [tactical provocation] against Hanamaki Takata, which made Hanamaki Takata look very angry.
Realizing this, Oikawa Toru immediately understood that Akashi Asuka was using a provocation method, so he simply used the trick. In the second round of attack, he deliberately used Hanamaki Takata as a bait, and then backhanded the volleyball to Iwaizumi Kazu.
But Oikawa Tooru ignored one question.
That is Akashi Asuka has always been a very self-aware person about himself.
All the time.
Akashi Asuka positions himself in the game as an unparalleled warrior, not as a commander or counselor.
[Tactical provocation] This type of strategy has been used occasionally by Akashi Asuka since his last life, but he never expected to achieve a certain goal through it, because he knew very well that he was not the kind of genius who could 'calculate all strategies'.
He uses [tactical provocation] for only one purpose, and that is to simply mess with his opponent's mentality.
Although very direct, this direct trick is often quite effective.
However, even Akashi Asuka himself did not expect that one day, his [tactical provocation] would actually have such an effect, which was really unexpected.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you. I don't even believe in my method of provoking generals. I didn't expect the enemy to believe it. It's interesting. It's so interesting." Akashi Asuka turned around and muttered while shaking his head.
Oikawa Tooru: "······ヽ(#`Д)┌┛〃"
Hearing his words, Oikawa Tooru immediately broke his guard.
This wave!
In this wave, the cleverness was misled by the cleverness.
Everyone who plays setter has a dirty mind, there is no doubt about that...except for Mikata Ryuhei.
Mige Ryuhei: "???Are you praising me or hurting me?"
And Oikawa Tooru is the best in setter, so at the end of the first game, when he saw Akashi Asuka's blocking skills, he had already predicted that the red team would be in this game before the second game started.
Concentrating on blocking, Oikawa Toru also strengthened his frontcourt blocking in the second game.
However, perhaps it was precisely because of the block at the end of the first game that Oikawa Toru made a million-point misjudgment about Akashi Asuka's scheme.
Oikawa Toru thought Akashi Asuka strengthened the frontcourt blocking in the second game to play a "conspiracy".
But in fact, the purpose of Akashi Asuka's arrangement is to let the white team fight head-on with him, and the outcome will be determined in one round.
As for the conspiracy?
If you open up the chests of the five members of the Red Team, you will probably dig out more dirty things from their hearts than Oikawa Toru alone.
······
The red team scored two points in a row at the beginning, so the right to serve was still in the hands of Ryuhei Sanka.
Ryuhei felt very embarrassed three times. He never expected that with his breaking serve skills, he would have the opportunity to serve three consecutive goals in one game.
The volleyball hits the net.
After the white team receives the ball, it begins its third offensive attack.
Asuka Akashi stood in front of the net, his eyes fixed on the volleyball in the air. He did not relax his vigilance just because he scored two points in a row. On the contrary, Asuka Akashi knew very well that this was the time when the opponent faced the greatest threat.
Three attackers, Iwaizumi Kazu, Hanamaki Takata, and Matsukawa Kazushige, acted at the same time.
The almost unanimous movements made Akashi Asuka completely unable to tell who the next ball would be passed to, so he had to concentrate all his attention to...
Snapped!
A soft sound.
Without any warning, Oikawa Tooru suddenly made a 'second pass attack'.
None of the three blockers on the red team, including Asuka Akashi, predicted this step. They could only stare wide-eyed and watch the volleyball land quickly along the block...
But at the critical moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the backcourt and caught the volleyball back into the sky with a bang.
It was none other than Watanaharu.
Oikawa Tooru passed by opponents like Akashi Asuka, but he failed to pass by Oikawa Toru, a good teammate.
As Qingcheng's main libero, and a good teammate whom Oikawa Toru trusted very much half an hour ago, at this critical moment of the game, Watachikaji stabbed the white team without hesitation.
The one who was stabbed by this knife, not to mention the white team players, even the coach Iriyata Nobuteru off the court slapped his forehead and couldn't stand it anymore.
Too cruel.
In terms of timing and coordination, this shot could be called a perfect attack by Oikawa Toru, but it was caught by someone. I guess even if it was a formal game, Watachikaji might not have performed as well as he did today.
The key is that after catching the ball, Watachashi smiled so happily that even the roots of his teeth were almost exposed.
The volleyball flies high into the sky.
Ryuhei Mikata decisively passed a high ball to Akashi Asuka. The three frontcourt blockers of the white team quickly set up defense. Akashi Asuka jumped up, and then the three people on the opposite side watched helplessly as Akashi Asuka's chin exceeded their foreheads.
boom!
The timing of this pass was perfect, and it just landed on Akashi Asuka's highest hitting point of 341cm.
So Iwaizumi, who was the shortest among the blockers, just watched Asuka Akashi hit the ball over his head, and the volleyball passed over his fingertips and landed on the ground to score.
no doubt.
This was a smash that was very harmful and insulting to Iwaizumi Kazuo.
3:0.
At this time, even Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Kazuo felt a little unstable.
No matter how strong their opponent is, they will not be afraid.
But there is a mole in this pair's hands, how to solve this problem?
No matter how clever Oikawa Toru's tactics are, he can't deceive his opponents and teammates at the same time!
What's more, this mole's game condition today was surprisingly good.
The corner of Oikawa Toru's mouth twitched a few times, and he turned to look at Nobuteru Irihata in the rest area, hoping that his coach could give him a reasonable explanation.
But at this time, Nobuteru Irimata happened to be a little thirsty, so he decided to drink a glass of water first.
