[Volleyball] Black and White

Yi Qingyao put his hands on his knees calmly, and Hoshino Yingyi behind him patted him on the back, and stroked the other's slightly protruding back: "Why haven't you talked?" The body was stuffed into Yi Qingyao's hand.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Yi Qingyao straightened up holding the water bottle, and glanced at the Bingdi team member who was listening to the supervisor's speech.

"What?" Hideo Hoshino, who was drinking water, was taken aback for a moment, "What are you thinking too much?"

Yi Qingyao opened the lid and shook his head: "Nothing."

Hoshino Hideichi rolled his eyes, and Shinagawa Shosuke yawned behind him: "Senior, you are thinking about something in another dimension again."

Yi Qingyao slapped Shinagawa Shosuke on the back of the head: "Hey!"

"Senior." Shinagawa Shosuke slowly reached out and touched the place where he was beaten, and said slowly, "It hurts."

"I didn't see that you were in pain at all!" Yi Qingyao roared with a dark face.

Hideo Hoshino glanced at Bingdi's third grade who was also darkened for some reason, and clicked his tongue: "It's really hard to lead the team." It doesn't matter which school it is.

The fourth game has reached 18 draws, and Xiaogu called a timeout. Every ball in the front was very difficult for Xiaogu. On the contrary, Bingdi played more and more active. After being tied for the third time , Qingyao motioned for a timeout.

At this time, there is actually nothing to say. Yi Qingyao is just giving his teammates a buffer time. If the rhythm is too fast, the result will be chaos.

The few balls tied by Bingdi for the third time were because the tempo was too fast, as long as the opponent hit a small ball unexpectedly, it would make his side mess up.He also thought about changing this problem on the court, but even the ball from the setter was fast-paced, and he couldn't stabilize the rhythm by himself. Yi Qingyao pointed to this problem while holding the positioning chart.

"Steady, don't worry, the advantage is on our side, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Yi Qingyao put the folder back on the rest chair, "The pause will end soon, play steadily!"

"Ushi—!"

Shocked by Xiaogu's shout, Sakakihara looked at the seniors who couldn't hold back their laughter and was silent for a while, "If I remember correctly, Senior Kobayashi had a ball just now and was going to pass it to Senior Sato Right? As a result, it slipped over the net in the wrong position.”

Xiao Linyuan, who was exposed, immediately stopped laughing: "The referee has blown the whistle, let's go."

"Senior Iri—"

Iriezawa directly stretched out his hand and pulled Sakakihara and turned around. Nazen Hohei, who also made a small mistake, immediately pushed Sakakihara's back and walked towards the field: "Stop talking, stop talking, the timeout is over, Asi, go."

Tsukasa Sakakibara was pushed onto the court by his seniors with a slumped face: "Even if this is the case, don't want to escape punishment."

The game restarted, 18 draws, and Ice Emperor served.

Akira Takishima, standing in No. 19 position, stood behind the baseline, let out a long breath after the whistle sounded, raised his hand and threw the ball high, swung his arm and sent a jump serve, the ball brushed the net belt and changed The direction made it too late for the Owl Valley players to make amends, 18:[-].

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this dribbling ball, only Tsukasa Sakakibara silently gave Akima Takishima a thumbs up.

In this match against Owl Valley, one or two of Akira Takishima's serves would always be a tennis ball. Perhaps others would think that Akira Takishima was so lucky that he could pass the net every time, but Mr. Sakakihara knew this. The second-year seniors did it on purpose.Bingdi's serve has always been to seek stability, but when facing a relatively strong team, seeking stability has become a matter of giving the opponent the opportunity to attack.

Sakakibara also accidentally discovered that Akira Takishima was studying this kind of serve. Before the Friday work started last week, Sakakihara went to the club office to change clothes in advance, but saw Akira Takishima watching last year's World Cup in the break room. In the game, the screen is a kind of serve that is played over and over again. It is the serve played by the main attacker of the Chinese team, which has always been the number one in the men's team of the World Cup Volleyball.

"Senior, are you studying tennis balls?" Sakakibara stood behind Akira Takishima and suddenly made a sound, which scared Akira Takishima.

Akira Takishima subconsciously turned off the display screen: "Master, you walk without sound?"

While taking off his school uniform, Tsukasa Sakakibara curled his lips: "Senior is too focused."

"Will the junior minister also play this kind of ball?" Akira Takishima didn't worry about the matter just now, and asked him directly what he cared about the most.

Sakakibara shook his head resolutely: "It depends on luck, but a senior I know... is better at this kind of ball. Do you want to learn from Takishima-senpai? I can give you the contact information."

What Sakakihara did not expect was that Akira Takishima played this kind of ball in a short period of time without hitting the net.In Sakakihara's view, it's not that you can't use skills you haven't mastered during the competition, but that you don't allow mistakes and lose points because you don't master them.

After two "lucky" nets in a row, Akira Takishima's third serve flew over the net without success.Yi Qingyao and Shinagawa Shosuke were in the front row at this time, and Sakakihara and Kuro Tetsuro were a step slower to block because of the opponent's multi-point offensive judgment error. Kuro Tetsuro touched the ball with his finger: "One touch!"

The speed of the ball was very fast. Heiwei only felt the pain from the fingertips after it brushed against Heiwei Tielang's fingers. He only had time to clench his fist and return to his position to wait for an attacking opportunity. Without offense, Sakakihara stood in front of the net and gave a lob.

Yuichiro Hanai reacted quickly and hooked the ball up. Shosuke Shinagawa passed the ball to Ichi Seyao's position, and Ichi Seyao dunked the ball without any hesitation.Even if he was caught up by the block because of the height of the pass, it was only blocked for a while but not killed.

"Behind!" Sakakibara reminded loudly.

The entire stadium was quiet and only the sound of the players on the field and hitting the ball could be heard. Ichi Qingyao's spike scored, and the people behind him lost the point after Sakakihara made a touch.

The audience in the stands cheered after the ball died, and the support teams of each school also started to cheer again.When the referee was about to blow the whistle, the audience returned to the previous silence.

Bingdi opened up the score. At the end of the fourth game, the score was 25:22, and the big score was 2:2. Xiaogu reached the fifth game in the regional qualifiers for the second time.

There are only [-] balls in the fifth game, and the ball rights and courts in the first four games are rotated by the public screen, so in the fifth game, the court and ball rights have to be re-guessed.Sakakihara Division and Yi Qingyao stood together again and guessed coins to determine the right to serve and receive. Yi Qingyao glanced at Sakakihara Division who could not see any emotion: "Word."

The vice referee glanced at Sakakihara, and tossed a coin after getting the latter's nod in agreement.

With the word side up, Yi Qingyao looked at Sakakihara again: "Xiaogu wants the right to serve."

"It's still this side of the field." In the stadium, both sides of the game are the same. Tsukasa Sakakibara simply chose the side where he didn't need to change his position. Although he said that he still had to switch venues when the score was over half, it was more convenient to change once than twice. up.

After refilling the standing form, the two teams stood on the court again. Compared with the players on Ice Emperor's side with smiles on their faces, everyone in Xiaogu looked a little serious. Kadokawa and Xiaogu played to the first place The reason for the five rounds was that Kadokawa's defense was at the national level, but after the fifth round against Ice Emperor, Xiaogu found it very unacceptable.

—Ice Empress is more difficult than they first noticed.

Competitions are the best way to gain experience. Everyone in Ice Empress agrees with this sentence very much. From the practice match to the first regional qualifier to the current match against Xiaogu, Ice Emperor's strength has been overwhelmed. It is recognized by everyone, and it is constantly growing upwards.

Xiaogu scored 8 points first, and switched venues 8:7, and Xiaogu still served.

At this time, Tetsuro Kurobi was replaced on the field again. Kohei Namae stood beside the bench and took the towel handed over by Hiroshi Hasegawa. His hand that was about to wipe his sweat stopped, and his attention was attracted by the field , even Mingqian Haoping himself didn't notice that he was a little nervous clutching the towel without moving.

No one on the Bingdi's bench noticed this scene at all, they were all staring at the ball and the score on the court.

8: 8.

9: 9.

……

14: 14.

15:14, the match point of Owl Valley.

Bingdi called a timeout.

This is a crucial goal that decides this game. If they tie with Bingdi, there is still a chance. If they lose points, the regional qualifiers will be over.

Everyone in the Ice Empress didn't speak, they wiped sweat with towels and replenished water with water bottles.Before the timeout ended, Sakakibara just said cheers in a low voice like before.

Standing on the field again, the penalty kick was issued.

Sakakihara Division received the pass, and it was passed steadily to Kobayashi Yuan's position. Akira Takishima in the second position, Kei Sato in the fourth position, and Sakakihara Division in the sixth position stepped forward at the same time.

The multi-point attack with a tacit understanding paid off under the toss of Kobayashi Yuan.

15: 15.

Both teams are back at the same starting point.

Ice Emperor's serve, Akira Takishima calmly sent out his tennis ball, luckily succeeded, but was picked up by Hideichi Hoshino who was already prepared.

The most important time in the game is not only to test the player's own skills, but more importantly, the psychological quality.Xiaogu, as a school that entered the top five in the country, is always much more stable than others at such times, and Qingyao scored decisively with a spike.

16: 15.

It's Xiaogu's match point again.

Sakakihara frowned at two opponents' match points in a row, and subconsciously looked at his teammates around him, everyone was extremely nervous.Ji Sakakihara didn't say anything, just bent down and lowered his center of gravity to catch the ball.

When the final whistle sounded, everyone in the auditorium stood up and applauded the two schools. Secretary Sakakihara led all the ice emperors to line up and bowed to the auditorium, while Xiaogu behind him was led by Yi Qingyao to bow to the other side. .

After the post-match etiquette of both parties was finished, Sakakibara and the players of Hyotei returned to the lounge to pack up their things. The referee was still completing the final reporting work on the competition field.

The referee got off the referee chair and signed his name on the form that said "Xiaogu-Ice Emperor".

The score of the game is written on the top of the signature position.

3:2, Owl Valley wins.
