[Volleyball] Black and White

"Beep-"

A long whistle signaled the start of the game.

The results of the match between Ice Emperor and Orson yesterday attracted the attention of many teams in the Kanto area, but more attention was paid by the Tokyo area, so there were many students from other schools sitting in the stands today.

Akiyama Taka was one of the top four in the ih Tokyo competition last year. Although it stopped at the top sixteen in the Kanto competition, the strength of this team is still recognized by other schools.

Two people wearing Xiaogu Zhengxuan uniforms sat in the crowd and looked at the field. One of them was Akiki Konoha who was satirized by Sakakibara during the lottery. If Sakakihara saw these two people, he would definitely recognize the other people.

Kotaro Mutu, like Tsukasa Sakakihara, has always been No. [-]. During junior high school, he always met with Tsukasa Sakakihara in national competitions. He is a main attacker with national strength.

"What does Mutu think of this game?" Konoha Akiki looked at the two teams that had already started the match, "Which side do you think will win?"

Mutu Kotaro smiled brightly, with a little excitement: "Akiyama's level is not as high as ours, and the current Ice Emperor is not as good as us. I don't know, but I hope Ice Emperor will win."

"Hey...why?" Konoha Akiki was a little puzzled, "But I am optimistic about Ice Emperor, after all, there is that person."

"Konoha, you are really not being frank," Kotaro Mutu stretched out his hand and pointed to Sakakihara, who was jumping behind the three-meter line and preparing to attack, "Don't you even call Sakaki by his name?"

Konoha Akiki didn't know what to say, so he could only snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Mutu Kotaro took out two pieces of candy from his pocket and handed one to the person beside him: "If you didn't treat him as an enemy, you wouldn't have told Senior Yiqing that you were coming to investigate."

Konoha stuffed the sugar into his mouth, but still refused to let go: "The game is very exciting, watch the game and don't talk to me."

Mutu shrugged, and turned his gaze to the big screen above the field: "It's 18:15 so soon! Oh... The Ice Emperor called a timeout."

After being hit with a three-pointer by the opponent, Sakakihara directly signaled the referee to pause.Walked off the court and surrounded the coach's bench. Today's game is against Akiyama Taka, so Shigeo Shōhara rushed over specially.

"Three balls in a row, are you stunned?" Xiang Yuan's appearance during the game was very different from that in private. Dazed?"

Ji Sakakihara lowered his head and wiped his sweat with a towel, but did not speak.

"When you block selectively in the front row, you need to see where the opponent's ball is passing. When you block, your arms are straight. You have practiced well off the court. Why do you have problems as soon as you play? Is your mental quality so poor?" Clicking back and forth on the folder in his hand, "Xiaolin, when you hit Sakaki's response, you should pay attention and go up to protect it. We shouldn't have lost the last two balls just now. What are you thinking? Hurry up." Adjust them all, do you hear me clearly?"

"ushi—"

Sakakihara threw the towel on the bench: "Today's game will be a bit difficult, everyone should not relax and concentrate on winning this game." Re-wrapping the tape on Kobayashi Haru, Sakakihara's expression was a little bit It's not good, "If we win this and the next game, we will get tickets to the Kanto Competition. Remember, this is not a points game, this is a knockout game, as long as you lose, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

The other five people nodded silently. This is the first time that Sakakihara has said such words in a game. It seems that their performance in the ten points just now was really bad.

"Cheer up, the first pass just now was received well, don't give up the attack just because the opponent blocked the ball, and block it hard for me if there is an opportunity to attack!"

"Yes--!"

The few people who stood on the court again tried their best to play their best, and they didn't want to leave like this at all!

"Good one (biography)—!" Sakakihara Division shouted loudly.

When he curled up his fingers and was about to pass the ball, he heard Kei Sato in the fourth position yelling, "I'll do it!"

The ball was entrusted to Sato without hesitation, and Sato Hui didn't hesitate at all in the face of the block, and directly swung his arm and dunked it.

The block went out of bounds, and Bingdi regained a point.

"Good shot!" Everyone came over and gave Sato Comet high-fives, and Sakakihara walked to Sato Comet and lowered his voice: "Just now, if the ball is pressed down again, if it is not blocked, you will be dunked out of bounds, and you can control the speed yourself. "

Sato Hui raised his arm and wiped the sweat with his shoulder: "I know." He also felt it when he smashed the ball, but the result was good, and he scored.

Ice Emperor switched positions and Akira Takishima served.

Akira Takishima's jump serve has also gradually gained a lot of offensive power. The person who received the ball from Akiyama Gao rolled on the floor in order to relieve the force. Tsukasa Sakakihara and Kei Sato took off at the same time to block the net.

The ball landed in bounds and the block scored, 17:18.

Sakakihara Division clapped his hands: "Just play like this! Get the score back!"

The jump serve cannot be maintained at the same level all the time. Akira Takishima's jump serve is obviously not the same as the last one.The opponent received the pass steadily, and the three people in the front row were fully focused on preparing to block.

Short flat (note 1)!

Sakakihara soon realized that it was a short, flat and fast ball, and he jumped up and blocked the ball before he could remind him.

Stretching his arms across the net to approach the ball, Sakakihara naturally spread his hands, flexed his fingers and flexed his wrists to form a hemisphere. The moment his hands touched the ball, he suddenly became tense, and his wrists covered the front and top of the ball.

Single block score, 18 draws.

Bingdi chased for three points.

At this time, Akiyama called a timeout.

Chasing three points in a row mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, Sakakihara took a sip of water and nodded secretly at the few people who were obviously more excited than before.Shigeo Shōhara and Tsukasa Sakakihara looked at each other, and then said: "The block is good, it is much more beautiful than the previous few blocks, if we fight like this, we can beat them!"

Sakakihara asked Nakayama to take the water bottle away from him, and then looked at Akira Takishima who was about to continue serving for a while: "Senior Takishima's jump serve is very stable, keep it, it doesn't matter if you have offensive power or not, the jump serve itself is already It's a bit aggressive. After a while, it's still the same as usual training, no problem."

The 30-second technical timeout was very short, and Sakakihara adjusted his knee pads and entered the field behind the others.

"Hey Mutu, look over there, is that from Kadokawa?" Konoha Akiki pointed to a corner of the opposite stand.

Kotaro Mutu looked in the direction that Akiki Konoha pointed, and there were three or four people sitting in the right corner of the opposite stand. The team uniforms were not clearly visible, but the color looked a bit like Kadokawa Gakuen's regular selection team uniforms.

Wooden Rabbit nodded uncertainly: "It should be, if so, who are they here to see?"

"It's impossible to come to see Akiyama Gao." Konoha rolled his eyes, "It must be to see Ice Emperor."

"Oh...now that Ice Emperor is strong? Then why did Senior Yiqing punish you for leapfrog after you came back from the lottery that day?"

Konoha: "...watch the game carefully."

When the two of them went to observe the team in the opposite stand, the first round was over, and Akiyama Taka narrowly won at 25:23.

This was the first round that Ice Emperor lost in the preliminaries in the ih Tokyo area. Tsukasa Sakakihara looked around at his teammates and found that they didn't have any negative emotions, but they seemed more serious because they lost the first round.

"We played well in the round just now, and we are no worse than them." Sakakihara put a towel on his head and looked at the other teammates who were drinking water and took a break at this time. "It's just the first round, and we will be back in the next round."

Mingqian Haoping re-pasted the knee pads, and asked with a smile: "Minister, you said at 26:24 yesterday that we are better than Orson. Today at 23:25, why are we no worse than Akiyama?"

Sakakihara took it for granted: "We are only two points behind them, of course we are not worse than them, and it's not like we were scored 3:25."

What should I do if I always feel like I can’t refute what my minister says?

The Ice Emperor's team was quiet for a moment.

Sakakihara took the water glass to cover the smile on his lips.

As soon as the second game started, Ice Empress' entire aura directly overwhelmed the opponent.Whether it's an offensive serve or a block, everyone in Bingdi gives Akiyama Gao's players a sense of oppression.

Soon Bingdi reached 8:5, the first technical timeout (Note 2).

The technical timeout was 1 minute, and Sakakihara glanced at the score on the monitor: "I have nothing to say, supervisor?"

Supervisor Xiangyuan nodded with his arms around his arms: "The start was good, we have to keep it up. The opponent is better at playing fast breaks, so we have to react faster and keep up behind the front block. This is a good point. But we must Be careful when the opponent hits us with a light lob (the ball) unexpectedly when they are playing fast break, this point should be paid attention to.”

Because this game was not so easy, Sakakihara felt that the whole body was a little hot, and fanned the wind with a towel.The end of the towel accidentally hit Jiang Ze on the arm, and the latter pushed his glasses: "A Si, you hit me."

Sakakihara Division: "Oh, then stand over there for a while."

Into Jiang Ze: "..."

There were a lot of long balls played in this round, and both sides refused to give in to each other. Si Sakakihara, who was standing in the back row, saw Kobayashi's gesture behind his back when the opponent was serving.

Bingdi changed his tactics, focusing on the back-row offense, and beat the defenseless Akiyama Gao with two back-row offenses.

Sakakihara Division and Kobayashi Yuan clapped their hands: "Senior Kobayashi, give me a short flat for the next attack, and the ball is slightly higher."

Yuan Kobayashi looked at Sakakihara's ankle. Everyone could smell the smell of medicine from his body during training yesterday afternoon. Yuan Xiao Lin was a little worried: "Is there any problem with your ankle?"

Sakakihara moved his ankle to show him: "It's really all right, I won't make fun of my body."

It was still Comet Sato who served the ball, and the ball flew straight to the bottom line, because the opponent was not sure whether it was out of bounds, so he hesitated for a while and still caught it, but because of the hesitation, the pass was not in place.

"It's gone, it's gone! Pay attention to one after another!" Secretary Sakakihara reminded loudly.

Kobayashi Yuan stood in front of the three-meter line and raised his hand to give Sakakihara the ball. When his fingers touched the ball, Sakakihara was ready.

"Snapped--!"

Fast break points.

"Good shot!" Wooden Rabbit couldn't help applauding.

Konoha Akiki clapped his hands twice to react and immediately put down his hands.

Wooden Rabbit couldn't help laughing at him: "Do you know there is a word that can describe you?"

Mu Ye turned to look at him, Mu Tu suppressed a smile and continued: "Tsundere."

Konoha: "..." Did Mutu learn badly?

The second game was played more intensely than the first game in a certain sense. Several Ice Emperor players had already rushed behind the partition to save the ball. Konoha looked at the kicked partition and suddenly sighed. He took a deep breath: "The Ice Emperor must win, but why am I so unwilling?"

"You are not reconciled to the Ice Emperor with Sakakibara, not the Ice Emperor?" Mutu pointed out.

Konoha doesn't really want to talk to him anymore.

The second round was over, and Ice Emperor pulled back a round at 25:22 and tied 1:1.
