[Volleyball] Black and White

Soon the arena was filled with the sound of batting and players asking for the ball, and the barrier-free area outside the court was fully occupied, and the three teams were all conducting their own basic training.

At 11:30, Sakakihara threw the ball in his hand to Kobayashi Yuan, and walked to Yamamoto Yuzo: "Senior, let's have a practice game."

"I was about to look for you, but you came here first, so let's start directly. But...do you want to play?" Yamamoto looked at the ice emperor and others who were training on the other side of the field, "It feels like you are on the ice. God is not bad."

Secretary Sakakihara nodded: "The ones on the court, I can't stay off the court and not cooperate with them all the time."

Yamamoto became more serious: "Then please try your best when you serve. I also want to see how much my team members can catch your serve."

"The ih regional qualifiers are about to start, and of course I will do my best." Tsukasa Sakakihara replied with no expression on his face.

In a practice match against Aoba Josai, Sakakibara chose to play two-four equipment. Two-four equipment is a very useful tactic for Hyodi, just because Sakakihara is an all-round development player.Under normal circumstances, when the setter is in the front row, there are only two attack points, but for Byodi, when Kobayashi Yuan stands in the front row, there will be three attack points, and the third is Sakakibara, who is standing in the back row and attacking from the back row manage.

Setters Sakakihara Tsukasa and Kobayashi En, main attackers Sato Kei and Takishima Akira, deputy attacker Iri Ezawa, and free agent Ming Mae Haohei, this is the team that will soon face Aoba Josai.

The ball is on the ice emperor side, and it is Sakakihara who serves first.

He took the ball from the ball frame and patted it on the ground to try his hand. Tsukasa Sakakibara retreated a certain distance from the baseline. When the whistle sounded, he moved the ball high with his wrist and fingers at the moment when he was about to run up. After adding rotation to the ball, the two arms swing naturally and take the second step. Sakakihara's eyes are fixed on the ball. Finally, he takes a big step with his right foot, swings his arms in an arc at the side of his body, and makes his left foot quickly Keeping up, bend your knees and jump up to lift your body into the air.

Every time Sakakihara tries his best to jump hair, it will always attract everyone's attention. The arc of the body arched to the maximum extent, the momentum of violently pulling the abdomen and raising the shoulders to drive the arms forward, all make the players standing on the sidelines The man watched without blinking.

While hitting the ball, his wrist gave a small rotation boost. When Sakakihara landed steadily, the ball had already flown over the net. He leaned slightly to lower the center of gravity, and Sakakihara was ready to receive a pass.

It was always difficult to catch Sakakibara's jump serve. Ishikawa, a second-year free agent standing in the back row of Aoba Josai, had heard of Sakakibara's jump serve for a long time, but he never caught it. He just stared at the ball. , but the ball became very erratic because of the rotation added by Sakakihara.

The strength of the ball was so great that just by catching this ball, the arm turned red.

1:0.Sakakihara continued to serve.

It is impossible for everyone to maintain the best condition all the time. After Sakakihara served five balls in a row, the sixth ball went out of bounds, and Sakakihara's right to serve was broken.

1:5, Aoba Josai serves.

When the sixth ball went out of bounds, everyone on the field gathered around and gave Sakakihara a high-five: "Asi (minor minister) is good at serving (the ball), thank you for your hard work!"

Clapping his hands to indicate concentration, Sakakihara stood in the first position and waited for the opponent's serve.

The score began to rise alternately, and soon the free agent Mingqian Haoping was about to turn to the front row, signaling Mingqian to make a substitution with Heiwei off the court. After Heiwei came up, the referee whistled to signal the serve.

Without Tsukasa Sakakibara's serve attack, Aoba Josai's first pass can always be received steadily, and occasionally the wrong one will be back on track due to the adjustment of the setter and Kawatoru.

Like Sakakihara, Oikawa Toru, who also won the best setter in the Miyagi Volleyball Men's Competition, is not much worse than Sakakihara.Oikawa Toru's talent in setters is much higher than that of Sakakihara. Since middle school, Sakakihara has helped Hechuantou to practice setters. As a result, in just three years, he has become the best setter just like him. Hands off.

Kurobi pays attention to Chuanche's fingers on the opposite side of the net, trying to see which direction the message is coming from.But Oikawa Toru gave him the feeling as if he was facing the setter of Sakakihara Division, the corner of his eyes glanced at the No. [-] position who had already stepped forward, and Kuro reminded him in a low voice: "No. [-] position."

The double blocker in the front row quickly moved to the front of the second position, blocked the straight line and let go of the diagonal line.

Unsurprisingly, Yoshinaga Midori, No. [-] in Aoba Castle West, hit the ball diagonally. Kuroo gave up the block in the direction of the diagonal line because the direction of the diagonal line happened to be Sakakibara's position.

Everyone in the ice emperor subconsciously felt that with Sakakibara, the ball would not be lost.

Tsukasa Sakakibara received the pass steadily. Hiroshi Kobayashi took two steps back and stood a little before the three-meter line. Tsukasa Sakakibara immediately started to run up. In just a few seconds, Hiroshi Kobayashi and Tsukasa Sakakihara completed a back row offensive score .

The score has reached 20:20 with the last five balls to go.

Sakakibara moved to the front row.

Standing in the front row, Sakakihara is not only used as a setter in the game, but also directly conducts a second attack or hits the probe when the opponent is not prepared (Note 1).

Just like now.

Comey Sato's unsteady pass went straight to the net. When Sakakibara was preparing to adjust the pass, he stood a lot closer to the net. When the front row players in Aoba Josai were concentrating on blocking the net, Sakakihara jumped up along the path of the ball, passing the ball directly to the open space on the other side of the net in a standard back pass posture.

Aoba Josai, the setter Hirai who rushed to save the ball, only had time to touch the ball that bounced up after landing.

Score with a backhand lob.

Even with Sakakibara standing in the front row, the penalty kick was still Aoba Josai's, 24:23.

Whether it's his own game point or the opponent's game point, it will cause great psychological pressure on the players on the field. Sakakibara glanced at Akira Takishima who didn't even touch a pass because he hesitated to catch the ball.

25:23, Aoba City West wins.

Without saying anything, Sakakihara just walked over and patted Takishima on the shoulder, then walked away from him.

The losing team had to do [-] push-ups and then dive in the arena for a week, so when Sakakihara bent down to do push-ups, Oi Chuanche squatted beside him and looked at him with a smile.

Sakakibara rolled his eyes silently.

"It's been a long time since I saw Tsukasa doing push-ups, I miss you so much." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Sakakihara's waist, "I guessed right, you are still carrying a weight on your body, but wait a while , if you wear a weight on your waist, you will be crushed, right?"

Sakakihara propped himself up with his arms: "Are you free?"

Oikawa Toru poked Sakakihara in the waist, and the latter suddenly lost strength in his upper arm and fell to the ground.

"Well, tsukasa is really ticklish." After poking, Oikawa laughed viciously and got up and ran away. After doing 20 push-ups, Sakakihara, who was about to stand up and beat him up, had to get up silently.

The Ice Emperor team members who saw the whole process: "..."

Comet Sato suddenly looked down at his fingers.

Xiao Linyuan squinted at Sato silently: "What are you going to do, are you going to do it too?"

Sato Hui silently put down his hand: "I'm still young."

"It's good to know." Xiao Linyuan nodded in agreement.

After Sakakihara took off the weight on his waist, he led Hyotei to practice diving around the court.

Lunch was eaten at the cafeteria in the west of Aoba Castle, and the dishes and taste were of course far from the ice emperor.After eating lunch, I directly pulled the high jump mats in the arena and laid them out row by row for lunch break. In view of the understanding of Hyotei, Yamamoto specially assigned brand new mats to them.

Mr. Sakakibara looked critically at the mats that had been placed, then turned his head and said with a sigh: "The west of Aoba Castle is really poor."

Yamamoto had three protruding veins on his forehead, stretched his hand directly around Sakakihara's neck, and with a ferocious smile, he punched Sakakihara's head with his fist: "Asi didn't learn the etiquette in the away game at all. How dare you say that about Qingcheng."

Sakakibara stared blankly at the Ice Emperor team members opposite, and said dryly: "Senior, but what I said is the truth."

"Ah!!! You bastard!!!" Yamamoto Yuzo became even more angry, and was pulled back by Iwaizumi who came to save the scene.

"Senior, calm down, Asi is also a minister." Oi Chuanche stood aside and said coolly.

It sounded like he was persuading Yamamoto Yuzo, but it was actually adding fuel to the fire. Iwaizumi had a headache: "Oikawa, just stay away!" Yamamoto, who was also a third grader in junior high school, was often ridiculed by Sakakibara. Taunting Hill himself for a minister who couldn't catch his ball.

Then Yamamoto Yusan silently rushed up and hit Sakakihara Tsukasa three times on the back.

Iwaizumi raised his forehead.

All the members of Bingdi watched the whole process of their minister silently provoking and then being beaten, then provoking again, and then being beaten again.

Xiao Linyuan laughed suddenly, with an indescribable emotion in his tone: "So it turns out that Ah Si gets along with his familiar seniors like this, so he looks like a first-year student."

The two-day and one-night sleepover soon came to an end. On Saturday afternoon, Ice Emperor played a practice match with Karasuno. Just as Sakakibara estimated, the current Karasuno is no match for Ice Emperor.Lost to Aoba Josai 3:2 on Sunday morning, and defeated Karasuno 3:0 in the afternoon.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, after saying goodbye to Aoba Josai, Sakakibara got into the car, and they were going back to Tokyo.

There was no way to summarize in the west of Aoba Castle, so Sakakihara Division directly stood at the front and began to roll call one by one to talk about the problems of the past two days.

After talking for half an hour, Sakakihara Division looked a bit ugly. He took a sip of the milk handed to him by Xiao Linyuan, and suddenly changed the subject: "Which one do you think is stronger, Qingyechengxi or Xiaogu?" ? Or what is the most likely score for Qingye Chengxi and Xiaogu?"

Owl Valley Academy, a national-level team located in Tokyo, won the second place in the country in Spring High School last year, and its strength ranked among the top five.

Sakakihara Division glanced at the serious players who were called out one by one by him, and continued seriously: "It is very likely that it will be 3:1, or even a direct sweep." In Sakakihara Division's view, Aoba Josai vs. Xiaogu has no chance of winning now.

The fact is also the same, in the past two years, whether it was IH or Chungao, Qingye Chengxi had never won the national competition if they were in the same group as Xiaogu.It's just that this year is not sure, but with today's match against Aoba Castle West, Sakakihara can only say that with such a team, he still can't win the current Xiaogu.

Owl Valley Academy now has three people in the same grade as Yamamoto. It is said that they have been booked by u19. Such a player who is almost able to play in the u19 world championship will not make Aoba Josai come back, let alone inferior to Aoba. The Ice Emperor in the west of the city.

Sakakibara suddenly let out a long sigh.

A long way to go.
