[Volleyball] Black and White

"Senior Sakaki is the only one on the opposite side. We just need to focus on the weak point and we won't have any problems if the ball doesn't hit him." Aso looked around at his teammates, "And the senior has already promised that he won't try his best when serving the ball. "

"What does it mean not to try our best... If we can't catch it, we didn't try our best, Minister!" Jin Tianyi slumped on the bench and complained silently.

Aso: "Senior said let us fight with all our strength."

Kindaichi: "Oh, so we still can't get it?"

Aso: "..." This junior is not cute at all!

The whistle sounded for the fourth inning, and the game started, Beichuan had the ball.

Aso looked at their positions. Sakaki and Kobayashi were facing each other, and Sakaki was in the second position and Kobayashi was in the fifth position.Turning his head and whispering to his teammates: "They are in the second and fourth positions. Senior Sakaki is playing the setter. They have to run and change positions, and send to the second position where the senior is standing."

The boy serving the ball nodded, glanced at Sakakihara's position, and hit the ball with a well-regulated overhand.

Akira Takishima, who was behind Sakaki in the first position, took two steps forward as soon as the ball was thrown by the opponent to protect the vacant position after Sakakibara left. Sakakibara and Todo Yuta, who was originally in the third position, quickly changed. The position is waiting for the organization to attack.

A pass was steadily picked up by Akira Takishima. Tsukasa Sakakihara looked at the direction of the ball and stretched out his hand. Kageyama, who had been paying attention to Tsukasa Sakakihara, was a little unsure whether it was a direct pass or a back pass. I quickly ran to Yuta Todo's position and waited for the block.

That is to say, in less than two seconds, when the three people on the opposite side blocked and faced Todo Yuta, Sakakihara completed a back pass, and the ball was passed to Sato Kei in the fourth position.An offense without a block is a score, and Sato Hui quickly waved his hand and beat the ball to death.

1: 0.

The venue was suddenly enveloped in cheers, Keigo Atobe looked at Sakakihara, who knew without even turning his head, how the pass was the most suitable position for his teammates to play, and smiled.

A scoring attack suddenly heated up the atmosphere, Sato Kei and Sakakihara Division high-fived.Xiao Linyuan clapped his hands: "Our ball, get excited!"

After changing positions, Sakakihara, who was originally in the second position, transferred to the first position, and the right to serve fell into his hands.

Sakakihara twirled the ball habitually in his hand, step by step away from the bottom line, he was about to jump serve.

"...Minister, why don't you try your best as promised? Why is it jumping as soon as you come up?" Jintian Kazu, who was in the back row, stared at Sakakibara's movements with full attention, and couldn't help but complain.

Beichuan's juniors said that they don't really understand how their seniors can't do their best.

Sakakihara, who was performing a jump serve, jumped up and arched his body backwards, not too much, swinging his arms and waving his hands down, the speed of the ball was much faster than any ice emperor's serve.

The ball went straight to the bottom line in the back row, and Jintian took a small step back calmly, ready to catch the serve from the bottom line.But he was taken aback by the speed and strength of the ball. For a moment, Jin Tianyi was able to turn his head to protect himself.The ball brushed past his face, and if he hadn't turned his head just now, it would have hit him directly in the face.

The rubbed area felt a burning pain, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.

Looking back, Jin Tianyi's face turned black. He was taller. The ball just brushed his face. He stood on the baseline and moved forward one meter. The ball was clearly out of bounds.

But his face touched.

Aso and the others gathered around: "How is it? You didn't get hurt, did you?"

Jin Tianyi shook his head with a dark face: "The ball went out of bounds just now, but I touched it."

2:0, Sakakihara served.

No more jump serve, just an ordinary overhand floater, and the people from Beichuan No. 100 Middle School have already caught Sakakihara's overhand floater and vomited.But still can't say [-]% reception, the ball is still directed at Jin Tianyi.

With his arms stretched out, he waited for the ball to fall, and Jin Tianyi caught it a little bit wide, not giving Kageyama the position for the second pass.Tobio Kageyama ran to the center to adjust, and when he heard Kunimi Hideo's request for the ball, he quickly passed the ball to the position Kunimi requested.

"One touch!" Todo Yuta, who was blocking the net, reminded.

Behind him, Tsukasa Sakakibara lowered his center of gravity and sent the ball directly above the setter Haruka Kobayashi. Just as the people in Beichuan were predicting whether to attack in the second or fourth position, Kobayashi passed the ball in front of the three-meter line. Hitting high, the opposite of passing the ball is Sakakihara, who has already taken off in the back row (Note 1) beyond the three-meter line.

The neutral in the middle is unobstructed, and the arms are swung downward.

The sound of the volleyball hitting the floor was the best, and Sakakihara Tsukasa smiled slightly.

3:0.The momentum of the entire Ice Empress on the field was boosted by this consecutive three-pointer, which was what Sakakihara Division most wanted to see.If the whole game is dull during the game, the mood of the athletes will also drop, and it will even affect their performance.

The Sakakihara Division standing on the court is completely different from what Keigo Atobe usually sees. The Sakakibara Division on the court exudes the aura of dominance, just like everyone on this court must bow their heads to him.On weekdays, the Sakakihara Secretary would not have such an unforgettable feeling at all, except for his appearance that would attract the attention of others.

Ah well, it's pretty gorgeous.

Atobe Keigo looked at Sakakihara who was about to serve again on the court and thought.

The three balls aroused the momentum, and Sakakihara, who had already promised his juniors not to use all his strength, restrained himself a bit. This overhand floater was much less powerful than the previous one.The pass from the opposite side was easily picked up, and Kobayashi, who had already switched positions when Sakakihara threw the ball, stood in front of the net and was ready to block.

"One touch!" Xiao Linyuan touched the ball with his hand.

Sakakibara stepped aside, and Nazen accepted the pass.Kobayashi took a look at Sakakihara in this gap. He saw Sakakihara nodded slightly and then raised his hand to pass the ball.

"Pay attention to the attack from the back row!" Kageyama saw Sakakihara's nod with sharp eyes, and reminded the two people who were blocking together in a low voice.

No matter how low the voice was, it was only separated by a net, and Sakakihara Division and Todo Yuta had already run to the hitting point at the same time, and Kobayashi sent the ball to Todo Yuta in the second position.

Multiple simultaneous attacks made Yuta Todo, who was supposed to face a three-person block, face a single-person block, and a smile flashed across the corner of Todo's lips.

——What's the use of sealing a straight line, you can score points by hitting a slash!

"Snapped--"

4:0.The cheers in the stands seemed to overturn the stadium.

Sakakihara took a step forward and slapped Kobayashi Yuan: "The judgment is good, don't hesitate to attack, if you have the opportunity to attack, go directly, no matter who the second pass is."

Holding the ball and walking towards the baseline, Sakakihara, who was about to serve, smiled lightly. Beichuan's juniors are still too young... In the past, there were him, Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi, and the pressure on them was much less .But it's different now. A team with only one Kageyama as the main setter is still not enough. (Aso: Senior, as a high school student, can you still show some face?)

This time, Sakakihara changed his serve to a striker, and a serve with no offensive power and no threat just passed the net.

"Ah, senior really looks down on us..." Guo Jianying muttered in a low voice, and took up this unskilled pass.The moment he caught the ball, he saw the mouth shape of Kageyama, who was facing him with his back to the net. When the ball started to fall, Kunimi suddenly rushed forward, and Kageyama quickly sent it into Kunimi's hands.

Fast break score, 1:4.

Finally, they broke Sakakihara's right to serve, but Bei Chuan was not happy at all. This opportunity was given to them by Sakakihara himself, and the score began to rise alternately.

The Ice Emperor's change of position happened to be when Sakakihara was standing in the third position. Sakakihara lowered his head and smiled at Aso: "Yo."

What a size, senior!

Aso's face twisted a little, and he took a few steps back to signal his teammates to come over: "Senior is standing in front of the net. When we block the net, the back row should pay attention to the second attack of senior (Note 2), and protect the open space. Kageyama, you Don't be in a hurry to plug in (note 3), wait until we receive the first pass, and I will give you the second pass."

The score at this time has reached 16:18. It was Sakakihara's turn to serve twice before, but he served a powerless underhand serve, so this is also the reason why this round was played so normally.

If Sakakibara off the field is a lighthouse, then he hides half of his light standing on the field and cooperating with Hyotei's teammates like a headquarters, mobilizing everyone's abilities to give full play to him.

After only 10 minutes, Bingdi won the fourth game.

In the deciding game, whoever gets to 4 points first wins (Note [-]).Secretary Sakakihara signaled Kobayashi to go up to fight for the ball. Kobayashi, who lost the coin toss, shrugged helplessly. The ball was in Beichuan's hands, and Kobayashi chose this side of the field.

The score soon reached 7:6, and after the two sides switched places at seven points, Ice Emperor, who scored seven points first, served.

When the juniors of Beichuan arrived at Sakakihara and stood in the first position, everyone was in a bad mood.

Aso yelled at the other side in despair: "Senior, please be merciful!"

Sakakihara said that he had shown mercy, and raised his hand to serve the ball.Even the ordinary overhand serve was a bit erratic, and Sakakihara took a look at Kobayashi who was standing in front of the net with one hand behind his back and gestured farther than Kobayashi.

The opposite side was a little impatient and lost the opportunity to attack, Bingdi's opportunity ball.The gesture just now was a commonly used offensive gesture in the back row. As soon as Sakakihara received the pass, he had already started to run forward. The overhand pass gave a high altitude. After taking off, Sakakihara adjusted slightly and dunked the ball. .

With Sakakihara Division, Ice Emperor seems to have a more powerful weapon. With the deliberate cooperation of Sakakihara Division, Ice Emperor won the decisive game with 15:11.

"Thank you for your advice—!" After the two sides lined up and saluted, they shook hands under the net belt to express their gratitude.

Sitting on the rest chair and recuperating, Kanedaichi counted the serve he received from Sakakibara after two innings, and then looked at Aso: "Senior, I seem to be... revenged by the Great Demon King..."

All the serves he received were jump serves or overhand floaters!Kindaichi wept with a mournful face.

Aso patted Kindaichi's shoulder with a sad face: "Did you know? Senior is very vengeful."

After playing two games, Sakakihara still felt refreshed, only the tip of his nose and forehead were sweating a little.A lot of people had already left in the stands, and Keigo Atobe led several others down the aisle of the stands.

"It's pretty gorgeous." Atobe said, looking at Sakakihara who was standing by the bench drinking water.

Sakakibara squinted at Atobe slightly, put down the water bottle, took the towel handed over by Kobayashi Yuan, and wiped his face: "It's good if I can catch your eyes, now do you think I can lead Ice Emperor to the national competition?"

Sakakihara Division has always known that Keigo Atobe has doubts about his ability to bring the volleyball club into the country, and only then did he say this as a joke.

Atobe Keigo stroked the mole of tears, and smiled: "Ah." It seemed to be answering the question just now, and it seemed to be acknowledging Sakakibara.

"However, in the afternoon, I left without even saying hello. Can you explain to me?"
