[Volleyball] Black and White

Defense is the best offense.

This sentence is fully reflected in Kadokawa.

After several back-and-forth balls, the final result turned out to be that Bingdi, who has always been good at playing long balls, lost the most points.Fifteen minutes into the first game, the score reached 15:11, and Kadokawa prepared to serve after taking turns.

Although the air conditioner was turned on in the stadium, everyone was still sweating on their foreheads. Xiao Linyuan wiped his sweaty palms on his sweatpants and turned his back to the net to prepare for a toss.

Heiwei Tielang was replaced when Mingqian Haoping moved to the front row. Last night, he specially cut some hair on his forehead so that he would not block his sight when leaning over to receive a pass in today's game.

It is said that taller people will also have a higher center of gravity, so when he catches the ball, the center of gravity of Heiwei Tielang is higher than others, but because he always hooks slightly inward when catching the ball, the unique way of catching the ball makes Heiwei The first pass is extremely stable.

Ever since Kobayashi Yuan and Sakakibara both played scoring lobs, Kadokawa will defend small balls and lobs every time Hyotei is attacking.

"It's time to follow (Note 1)," Yi Qingyao watched as Kadokawa's No. 6 player followed up to the three-meter line and prepared to defend against lobs and small balls. "From the first lob by Sakakihara Division Followed up, and let the No. [-] setter of Ice Empress think of anti-lob after scoring another lob."

Hideo Hoshino was stunned when he saw that Sakakihara had attacked from the back row and hit the open space in the middle of the opponent, "Could it be that he deliberately hit the lob to attract Kadokawa to follow?" ? Otherwise, why did it directly hit the 'horseshoe heart' area (Note 2)?"

The players in Kadokawa's back row rushed to save the ball, but just like the lob before, when they looked up, they could only see the condescending eyes of Hyotei's players.

20 draws, Kadokawa serves.

The first round lasted nearly 10 minutes, and every shot was wonderful, but it was because both sides were good at defense. Although Kadokawa's defense was stronger than Hyotei's, Hyotei's offense was correspondingly strong.Every point was stalemate and made the audience anxious, and there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the stands.

The people in Xiaogu looked at the opposite entrance, and there were two boys wearing gray-blue and white team uniforms.Yi Qingyao squinted his eyes and took a closer look, but he still couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far, but the boy walking in the front only gave him one feeling.

- Dazzling.

Atobe Keigo led Yushi Shinozu to the position of the Hyotei volleyball team members, and someone stood up with a wink and emptied the first row.Shinobu Yuuji pushed his glasses and thanked him, then sat down with Atobe.

Such a big movement in the part of the ice emperor in the stands also attracted the attention of the people on the court. Except for Sakakibara who looked normal, everyone else in the ice emperor had a blank expression for a moment.Kadokawa, on the other hand, glanced around strangely with "Ice Emperor, this is too high-profile", and the referee whistled to signal the start of the serve.

Sakakihara’s jump serve will always bring a sense of oppression to all those who catch the ball. Those who are not psychologically strong will be afraid to catch the ball in the end, while Kadokawa is the type who believes in his own foundation and recovers quickly. .

Therefore, Sakakihara's serve did not "shake the morale of the army", but made Kadokawa's players work harder to catch the ball. After Hyotei scored two points in a row, Kadokawa called a timeout.

At this time the score was 22:20, Kadokawa called a timeout at this time to let his players relax, Kadokawa's supervisor handed the water in his hand to their captain, and began to deploy the next few balls.

Shimizu Yusan was running around handing towels and water bottles because he didn't play, and Sakakihara took the towel and wiped his face to wake himself up: "Supervisor."

Supervisor Xiangyuan glanced at Kei Koizumi, who was spraying Kobayashi's wrists just in case, and turned to Kobayashi who was sitting on the bench: "How is Kobayashi feeling?"

Xiao Linyuan turned his wrist: "I don't feel anything, it doesn't hurt."

Just now on the court, in order to catch a small ball pushed by the opponent, Xiao Linyuan used his hands to support it when he lost his strength and almost hit the net rack. As a result, everyone on the sidelines saw that Xiao Linyuan's wrist was bent at a large angle.Shigeo Shōhara stood up and asked anxiously on the sidelines, while Yuan Kobayashi just waved his hand and continued to pass the ball.

"Just pay attention," Sakakihara threw the towel on the bench and walked over, holding Ryo Kobayashi's arm and looked at it. "I don't feel much right now. It may hurt badly after the game is over."

Even after playing for so long, Sakakihara's palms were still a little cold, Kobayashi looked down at his slightly red wrist: "Let's talk about it after the game is over."

"Let's change players for the next round, supervisor." Secretary Sakakihara let go of his hand and directly ignored Kobayashi Yuan's words, "Let Kuroishami, the famous senior, replace Shimizu with Shimizu when they are in the front row."

Director Xiangyuan immediately understood what Sakakihara was thinking. Hero's block and first pass, and Shimizu's steady play on the field with few mistakes were all described by Sakakihara to him: "You want to...defend? The offensive point is two less. One, there are some disadvantages for the current situation.”

"Choosing defense doesn't mean giving up offense," Sakakihara Division insisted on looking at Shigeo Shohara, "Senior Kobayashi won't be able to play in the next round, so let's talk about it if you don't feel your wrist after the second round."

Mr. Sakakihara's thoughts have never been changed by external forces, and Shigeo Shōhara could only nod his head. Although he knew that Kobayashi Yuan played a very important role on the field in his heart, he also put the health of the members first: "Then Shimizu Play a few balls with Kurobi to warm up, and you will be replaced in the next game, Kobayashi insists on two more balls, and after this round, Koizumi will take you to the infirmary."

The timeout ends and everyone returns to the field to play.

The two-point goal may be very fast when playing against other schools, but it becomes a tug of war when playing against Kadokawa.A ball was hit back and forth three or four times in a row, and finally entered Jiang Ze's big diagonal line to get this point.

Ice Emperor's first game point.

It was Sakakihara who served the ball, and for the first time, Sakakihara, who was standing on the bottom line, had the idea of ​​wanting to end the game as soon as possible.When this idea appeared, Sakakihara immediately calmed down. All inexplicable thoughts that appeared during the game would affect his performance. This is the experience of Sakakihara after playing countless games.

The first pass was picked up by the opponent, while Kobayashi was paying attention to the direction of the opponent's pass, he also gave Sato Hui a look.Comet Sato, who has been cooperating for three years, immediately understood what Kobayashi Yuan meant.

After Sakakihara gave a well-placed pass, Kobayashi Yuan and Sato Hui played a fast break in tacit cooperation.

At 25:23, Ice Emperor won the first game.

After the first game, Megumi Koizumi took Kobayashi Yuan to the infirmary arranged by the Volleyball Association. Secretary Sakakihara sat next to Shigeo Xiangyuan and watched Shigeo Xiangyuan fill out the standing form.

"When you bring them to play on May Day, try to give them as many secondary offenses as possible." Shigeo Shōhara said while filling in, "It's up to you to remind others when you are on the court, I am still a little worried about Shimizu and Kurobi. "

Mrs. Sakakihara wiped the sweat from his palms with a towel: "Kuroo and Shimizu shouldn't have to worry, they've both played big games."

"Since you said that, I'm relieved." Xiangyuan Shigeo said in a low voice, "Okay, if you have anything to say to them, let's talk now."

After hearing what the supervisor said, Sakakihara stood up and threw the towel back into the freezer, and stood among his teammates: "Wait a while, I will only make a setter, no one should tell me that I won't switch positions on May [-]st, right?" made a small joke, Sakakihara looked at his teammates who shook their heads neatly and smiled, "Supervisor Xiangyuan has already lined up the standing table, because we have the right to start this game, so I'm still in line No. [-] position, so you need to move quickly to give me the position of No. [-] position. If there are no special circumstances, I will definitely not touch the ball once it is passed. If the ball is in my place, just go boldly and catch it. .”

Qing Shui Yousheng raised his hands: "What position do I play?"

"You play the support, and Kurobi plays the secondary attack, just like when we usually train," Sakakihara looked at Shimizu's nervous face with a little comfort in his tone, "Don't be too nervous, let go of the fight."

The second game started soon, and Kadokawa broke serve after Sakakihara scored four points with his serve.Just after the exchange of venues, he told Shigeo Shōhara not to worry about Kuro and Shimizu, and Tsukasa Sakakihara was immediately slapped in the face.

Heiwei did not give full play to his advantage in blocking. In the two rounds, Heiwei misjudged the direction of the block twice. Although the ball was finally caught, it was always very reluctant.While Qing Shui played with his hands and feet tied up, always giving people a feeling of hesitation in playing.

Sakakihara immediately signaled for a timeout.

"What's going on?" Shigeo Xianghara frowned and looked at Kurobi and Shimizu, "Is the level during practice low? It won't work as soon as you get on the field? What are you afraid of? What are you hesitating about, Shimizu?"

Shimizu Yousheng just held the towel and didn't speak.

Shigeo Shōhara slowed down his voice: "Don't hesitate, don't hesitate even if it's a hit, you pay too much attention to the phrase 'zero mistakes', Sakaki throws the ball to you because he believes in your level, even if you make a mistake, don't hesitate! Heiwei, you are a little fuzzy. When you block the net, you can make a judgment before you go. Don’t get hot-blooded. You usually play calmly.”

Heiwei Tielang nodded. He just felt that he hadn't played against such a strong team for a long time, so he felt a sense of excitement in his heart, but his impetuous heart calmed down after making two block judgment mistakes.

Heo Tetsuro looked at Sakakihara who was standing beside him, and the latter raised his eyebrows looking at Heo Tetsuro's eyes: "Calm down?"

"kindness."

The second game was finally won by Kadokawa 26:24, a big score of 1:1 tie.

At the end of the second round, Koizumi and Kobayashi came back, and Kobayashi's wrist was wrapped with a bandage to fix it.Shigeo Xiangyuan held Kobayashi Yuan's arm and looked at it: "What did the doctor say?"

Koizumi handed the water to Kobayashi Yuan, and then answered Shigeo Shōhara: "The doctor said that there is no bone injury, and there is no major problem. If the swelling subsides in the afternoon, you can still play."

"Then why are you wearing a bandage?" Shigeo Xiangyuan put down Xiao Linyuan's arm, and the smell of medicine from the team members made Xiangyuan slightly frown.

Xiao Linyuan looked at Shigeo Xiangyuan and smiled: "It's the doctor who said that if you want to play now, you can only hang around."

"Nonsense!" Xiangyuan reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't even think about playing this game, and see if the swelling subsides in the afternoon."

Sakakihara and the others also walked off the court at this time. Playing against Kadokawa is really tiring. If you don't have a chance to kill the opponent with each ball, you can pull it back and forth two or three times in a row.

"Everyone actually lost the second game." Xiao Linyuan stood in front of everyone and smiled gently while passing a towel, "It seems that you didn't try your best to fight at all."

Just the last few balls, Xiao Linyuan also saw something wrong on the court.

Shigeo Xianghara was standing next to him and talking to Yusheng Shimizu in a low voice. Kobayashi saw that the supervisor didn't pay attention to them, and then smiled more gently: "I thought I could see 2:0 when I came back. It's really amazing." I'm disappointed, big—home—"

Comeme Sato and Iriezawa trembled.

Sakakibara silently shifted his gaze.
