[Volleyball] Black and White

The second game was Orson's starting ball. After Orson lost to Bingdi by two points in the last game, it was obvious that the opponent began to get nervous.Sakakihara put his hands on his knees and looked at the person on the opposite side who was about to serve. Soon his sight was blocked, and Orson's front row stepped forward to block the net (Note 1).

People who can't see the serve have no way of knowing which direction the ball came from, but only for a few seconds.The opponent's ball passed the net, and Kohei Namae made a quick dive to save the ball, but the ball flew to the back, and Sakakihara calmly ran after the ball: "I can't mess it up, organize the attack!"

Sakakihara, who was about to pass the ball at the point where the ball landed, took a look at the distance. The distance spanned almost half of the court. Then Sakakihara put down his hand and changed his usual overhand pass to underhand.

Sakakihara's pass always gives everyone a very comfortable feeling, as if he knows what the attacker is thinking. When Sato Kei took off, he felt that the ball was not the same as the ball Sakakihara passed to him during practice. It's the same, even if the distance of the pass is stretched by more than half the court.

"boom--"

The ball dunked a diagonal line and hit the corner of the baseline.

Bingdi scored, 1:0.

There were uniform shouts from the stands, calling out the names of Heidei and Sato.

Sato raised his hand and saluted his forehead chicly, and Ru Jiang Ze pushed his glasses and complained: "Sato is playing handsome again, it's so dazzling."

"Senior Irie is envious?" Tsukasa Sakakibara patted the ball, "Hurry up to please Senior Kobayashi and let him throw the ball for you."

When Sakakihara moved to the first position and was ready to serve, the atmosphere on Orson's side was obviously more tense than before.Nervousness is a good thing, but too much is too much.

They acted like they were afraid of Sakakihara's serve.Orson's supervisor frowned anxiously on the coach's bench, but he knew that it was useless to say anything in this situation. Anyone who couldn't catch the opponent's ball and let the opponent score consecutively would have a shadow in his heart.

Sakakihara directly pulled the score to 5:0, and Orson called a timeout.

Throwing the ball on the ground, Sakakihara and the others walked to the coach's bench. After taking a sip of water, Sakakihara suddenly laughed: "Do you know a word?"

Irijiang Ze took off his glasses and was wiping the sweat off his face, revealing his eyes from the towel: "What?"

Sakakihara said meaningfully: "History is always surprisingly similar."

Everyone laughed, Kobayashi almost choked, coughed and patted Sakakihara on the shoulder: "Can you choose a time when I don't drink water when you say this?"

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere on Ice Emperor's side, Orson's side can be said to be heavy, like carrying a heavy stone slab.Orson's supervisor is not very old, he looks like 40 or [-] years old, pointing at the field and talking to the players.

Sakakihara raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his chin with a towel: "They are too nervous, which is a good thing for us. I actually made some mistakes in my serve just now, and they can catch it, but the No. [-] moves obviously. It's slow." He said, holding a water bottle and looking at Orson's bench across the net.

No. [-], who was said to be worse than Keichi Sato, stood facing Tsukasa Sakakibara, with an ugly expression on his face.

Kurobi took the water bottle from Sakakibara, and followed his gaze: "It looks like I was scolded by the supervisor, but I am so nervous that my body is a little stiff, I will definitely be scolded. After the timeout is over , that number four might really be a weakness, right?"

Sakakihara shook his head: "Orson won't let him play."

Just like what Sakakihara said, after the timeout ended, Orson signaled the referee to make a substitution, replacing No. [-] with a new face.

Standing on the baseline and holding the ball, Sakakihara Tsukasa glanced at the No. [-] who was replaced, and then exchanged glances with Sato Kei, who shook his head at him.

It seemed that he was a first-year freshman, and Tsukasa Sakakibara squinted his eyes, ready to test the opponent's level.The ball flew towards the No. [-]. The newly replaced player was much more active than the No. [-] just now. Even though his arm brushed the ball and missed it, the whole person did not show any signs of frustration.

Sakakibara was going to give up the serving direction at this point, and instead sent it to the middle of the two positions as he said to his teammates before.

"Pay attention to blocking!" Mingqian Haoping stared at the ball, his heels slightly off the ground, ready to save the ball at any time.

The opponent's attack was blocked, but it was not blocked, and the ball passed by Sato Comet's hand.When Comet Sato reminded, Akira Takishima had already received a pass, but the ball was caught and flew due to a strong spike.

Sakakihara and Namae Kohei ran back at the same time, Sakakihara was faster than Namae, and finally took a big step to save the ball, but Namae Kohei behind him didn't have time to stop and stepped on Sakakihara ankle.

Both fell to the ground.

Mingqian got up immediately: "I'm sorry, Si, are you okay?"

Sakakihara immediately got up and ran back: "It's okay, get back to your seat!"

Because Bingdi had no offense, Orson got the chance ball, and the first player dived to save the ball, but the ball landed before his hand.

1: 6.

Sakakihara clapped his hands: "It was my problem just now, I ran too slowly, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big space."

Everyone didn't care about the lost point, instead they gathered around and asked what happened just now.Sato Hui glanced at Sakakihara Division: "Are you okay just now?"

Sakakihara shook his head: "It's nothing, just collided with a famous senior."

Mingqian Haoping said hesitantly: "I seem to have stepped on the ankle of the little minister just now, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen."

Satou knelt down and stretched out his hand to pinch Sakakihara's ankle. Kobayashi noticed the expression of Sakakihara, and looked at Satou after finding that there was no change.Sato Hui got up and looked at Sakakihara again: "Is it really all right?"

Mrs. Sakakihara looked a little helpless: "It's really nothing, but - the famous senior looks shorter than us, but his weight is..."

Nazen Hohei: "...Hello!"

Ru Jiang Ze glanced at the scoreboard: "This time it really is 'history is always surprisingly similar', and it is 1:6 again, and Asi's possession of the ball is gone again."

Tsukasa Sakakihara didn't care about the possession of the ball, and stuck the slightly raised tape on his hand: "Okay, the referee is watching and ready to take one."

The stalemate in the second round was not much better than the first round. The score difference was not wide enough, and the Ice Emperor's players gradually became a little impatient.Sakakihara called a timeout for the first time after feeling this emotion emerge.

Kurobi stood next to Sakakihara and handed him the towel. He felt that Sakakihara was sweating more and more. It seemed that this game was really hard to play: "Are you okay? I see that your head is full of sweat."

Sakakihara took a towel and wiped his head like he would wipe his hair after taking a shower: "Everyone's head is sweaty, what's so strange. Calm down, we have the advantage here, why are you impatient? Frowning, "he took a sip of water to relieve his body's needs, "it's the opponent who has to be impatient. The score is pretty good now, and we can win if we maintain it. As for things like increasing the score, there is no need to go here The above is entangled. Orson is not the previous Yufu High School, let alone Kamada, if you want to win with a score of 25:10, stop dreaming and wake up."

Sakakihara's face looked very calm, and the hair on his sideburns was soaked with sweat, but he didn't look tired at all: "We played well, we have no problem winning this match, don't worry about it because of some unimportant things. Be in a hurry. If you can’t calm down, just sit on the bench and calm down. Impatience is the deadliest thing on the court, do you understand?”

"Yes--!"

Sakakibara put the water bottle on the bench: "Catch the ball and shout carefully, be steady, the attack is on target, don't hit blindly. The opponent's blocking level is far from that of Aoba Josai. If you really can't do it, hit his hand and let him Block it back for us and readjust the offense."

"Their No. [-] doesn't know how to block the net at all." Jiang Ze took off his glasses and wiped it. "It's just relying on its long hands and long legs to reach out blindly."

"When he is blocking the net in the front row, then we can see him hitting it!" Sakakihara turned his head and glanced at the No. [-], "According to what Senior Irie said, when we attack, he will not judge whether it is a straight ball or a straight ball. Attacking from a diagonal line, Kobayashi gave a little second attack before the net. Orson’s players cooperated very well and would not give us a chance to probe, but hit them with a lob in front of the net.”

The short 30-second timeout ended, and Bingdi, who returned to the competition venue, was in a much better mood than before.Kuroo Tetsuro and Namae Kohei had already switched at this time, and Kuroo and Sakakibara were in the front row preparing to block the net together.

Just now he said that the opponent would not give them a chance to probe, and Sakakihara directly buckled the opponent's lob back.When he landed, Sakakibara tilted his body, and Kurobi only felt the person next to him lean towards him, and regained his footing before touching him.

After the transfer, Tsukasa Sakakibara happened to be standing in the third position, and when he was about to block the net, his eyes glanced at the auditorium inadvertently, and Keigo Atobe, who was sitting in the front and was wearing the official uniform of the Hyotei Tennis Club, broke into his room directly. line of sight.

There was only a moment of stupefaction, and Sakakihara immediately focused his attention on the field.

The ice emperor's game point, 24:22.

Comet Sato is standing on the baseline and preparing to serve. His mental quality is very good, and he will make the most appropriate response no matter what time it is.Living up to everyone's expectations, Sato Kei did not send out the ordinary but safe serve, but sent out his usual aggressive overhand serve.

The ball passed the net in a thrilling manner. Because of the net, it changed the direction of the ball and caught the opponent by surprise. At 25:22, the Ice Emperor led 2:0.

The third round started soon, Director Sakakibara let out a long breath.Mingqian, who was not far away from him, gave him a strange look: "Minister, are you tired?"

Sakakihara Tsukasa gave him a sideways glance: "What are you talking about in your sleep?"

Mingqian snorted and turned his head back.

Orson's supervisor also knew that as long as Sakakihara stood in the first position, he would definitely lose at least five points in a row, so he just stood on the sidelines to let his players focus and try to catch the ball.

Sakakihara only played four jumps before switching to an overhand floater. Others thought that he was a little tired and afraid of making mistakes. Even Sakakihara's overhand floater was not so easy to catch.

After disrupting the offensive rhythm three times in a row, Orson was able to barely get a pass in place.The scores rose alternately, but the gap never narrowed.

The score has reached 20:17, Hyotei is leading, and Tsukasa Sakakibara directly signals the referee to pause.

Although everyone was puzzled, they returned to the coach's bench. Sakakihara sat down for the first time in the game and straightened his long legs: "Wait a minute, it's Takishima-senpai's serve, you're starting to be a little loose, no The tension and excitement at the beginning, is Orson so weak that you don't want to move?"

The few people who were told by Sakakihara bowed their heads in embarrassment, and those with this mentality immediately apologized.Sato Hui clasped his hands together and shook: "Asi, I was wrong. I didn't try my best to block a few shots just now."

"Don't have this kind of mentality. I don't know if it's because I gave you too much confidence." Sakakihara put the towel around his neck, "The last five points, we must not lose it." Sakakihara took it back Stretched legs, with elbows on knees, looked at the few people standing in front of him, "Seniors know better than me what kind of attitude is required for the game, don't give me a reason to give you more training."

The whistle blew for the end of the timeout.

The obvious change after the timeout was that the Ice Emperor players on the field returned to their initial state. Orson's supervisor looked at the Ice Emperor players who were a little lazy just now, and sighed secretly.
