[Volleyball] Black and White

At 01:30, Sakakibara took all the members of the volleyball club and waited for the car from Beichuan No. [-] Middle School at the gate of the Hyotei School.The members of the Hyotei volleyball club saw the teenagers wearing blue and white sportswear getting out of the car, bowing to their ministers one by one.

"Good day Sakaki-senpai!"

Tsukasa Sakakihara folded his arms, his expression was his usual expressionless: "Good day, everyone has worked hard! Welcome to Ice Emperor!"

Aso, who took over the position of head of Beichuan No. [-] Middle School, laughed: "Senior, it's still the same. Then——" The ten people standing in line slightly bowed their heads and saluted.

"Seniors, please give me more advice!"

This is the benefit of being a senior, Sakakihara raised his eyebrows at the smiling members of his team, and glanced over.The members who were still a bit slack in their standing just now also stood at attention without bowing their heads, but answered seriously:

"Please teach me more!"

After greeting Mr. Sakakihara, he led the two teams to the multi-purpose arena. When passing by the garden connecting the elementary and advanced divisions, he even ran into the tennis team of the elementary division.Because Takahiro Kawaji's figure is so eye-catching, it's hard for Tsukasa Sakakihara not to notice.

He said hello to Huadi, but he didn't care that the curious eyes behind him didn't mean to introduce each other, and the two groups just passed by.

"Senior, was that Ice Emperor's tennis club just now?" Aso asked in a low voice as he walked behind Sakakibara.

Secretary Sakakihara responded, "What? You know?"

"Senior, have you forgotten that I played tennis before? I joined the volleyball club in the middle of my junior year of junior high school." Aso had some dark lines. He was the one who was assessed by Senior Sakaki.

Sakakihara Division looked calm: "I have no impression at all. So why did you come to play volleyball?"

Aso replied somewhat casually: "Because I think it would be more fun not to let the ball hit the ground."

Sakakihara Division looked down at Aso strangely, raised his hand and rubbed his hair without commenting.

"Oh, by the way, will seniors play in this friendly match?" Aso asked the question they were most concerned about.

"Not in the first three rounds. If you can directly win [-]-[-], then you don't need me." Tsukasa Sakakihara patted Aso on the shoulder, "So, come on, young man."

Coach Matsumoto was very reassuring about Sakakihara, so he didn't even come. He just sent an email to Sakakihara when they were leaving, and let Sakakihara take a look at the shortcomings of the new team.Sakakibara readily agreed, anyway, he will not meet Beichuan No. [-] Middle School in the high school now, and it will be fine if he gives guidance.

The multi-purpose arena soon arrived, and the appearance of more than 20 people, including students from other schools, walking in the same direction attracted the attention of other freshmen who were still on campus.Scattered people followed them into the volleyball hall on the second floor. Someone stopped the person wearing the uniform of the ice emperor volleyball team and asked the reason. After learning that there was a friendly match, the crowd sat in twos and threes. the stands.

The two teams have also competed on the field, so whether there are spectators is the same for them. Aso clapped his hands and signaled to put things away and start warming up.

Over there, Director Sakakihara ordered a second-year senior to bring four boxes of water from the club office, selected two people to be line judges for a while, and then signaled for the starting members to start warming up.

"Minister, isn't he going to warm up?" Takishima Akira, the deputy attacker, asked, seeing that Sakakibara had no intention of taking off his coat at all.

Sakakihara looked at the ten people standing there: "Didn't I tell you? I won't play in the first three games of today's friendly match. If I was beaten by junior high school students [-]-[-], heh..." A short laugh made This month, the team members who knew Sakakihara's bad nature trembled three times.

Xiao Linyuan reassured everyone with a gentle smile: "Don't scare them, Asi, it's impossible to be [-] to [-] against junior high school students, and his physical fitness is a little higher."

Sakakihara raised his eyebrows: "Physical fitness?" He pointed to the blue and white sportswear that was warming up over there, "Aso will be 178 soon, but senior, you don't have 175, right?"

Xiao Linyuan: "..." This unlovable junior!

"Okay, let's warm up, the game will start in half an hour." Sakakihara waved his hand and drove them away like some animals.

Mr. Sakakihara watched them start warming up on the other side of the court, and walked to Supervisor Xiangyuan: "The supervisor may trouble you to be a referee later."

"Vice president, are you coming?" Xiangyuan asked, looking at the whistle hanging around Sakakihara's neck.

"Ah no, it's just a friendly match. I don't need a vice referee, and I only arranged for two line judges." Secretary Sakakihara shook his head. After thinking about it, it's better to vaccinate the supervisor first, "I may leave for a while in the middle. Time, the game will be troublesome to supervise."

"..." Supervisor Xiangyuan looked at the boy who was taller than him complicatedly. After Sakakihara Secretary came, he felt a lot more relaxed. This minister is also very competent, but he is very good at surprising you at critical moments, "You go Who will do the suspension guidance?"

"So I'm going to bother Supervisor Xiangyuan." Sakakihara also felt that this was a little bad. This game was to test his results after training. Logically speaking, he should always be on the scene.

Supervisor Xiangyuan couldn't say anything about him, so he could only wave his hands: "It's up to you, you can handle it yourself."

"It won't be long." Sakakihara added.

Supervisor Xiangyuan, who stepped on the ladder and sat on the referee's seat, blew the whistle of the game. The ball was on Bingdi's side. Xiangyuan straightened his left arm and swung his forearm to the right in front of his chest following the whistle.

This is a signal to serve.

Standing outside the line, Sato Hui made a small jump and sent the ball straight to the back row.A serve with a basic aggressiveness, Sakakihara looked at the players on the video, making sure that the entire game was recorded before turning back.

Everyone in the first pass of Beichuan No. [-] Middle School has solid basic skills, so it seemed easy to catch the ball, and the ball flew right above the second passer Kageyama at the third position.

"Judging the attack!" Director Sakakihara heard Kobayashi Yuan yell. Kobayashi Yuan's observation ability is good, and the moment the opponent's main attacker, Kunimi Hideo, jumped up and raised his hand: "Front!"

"What are you doing in a daze?! The back row protects." Sakakihara looked black-faced as the three people in the front row needed to block the net and walked to the front of the net.

The ball was blocked for a while, but it was not blocked dead. The moment his fingers touched the ball, Todo Yuta gave a reminder: "One touch (Note 1)!"

"Nice touch the ball!" After slowing down the power of the smash, the free man in the back row named Mae Haohei made preparations in advance under the reminder of Sakakibara, and took a step to receive the ball: "I'll do it!"

Because every time I play Ice Emperor, the court is always very dull, everyone is too serious to speak, and there will be situations of stealing the ball in the team's 3v3 practice, so Sakakihara asks everyone to open their mouths and shout.After more than two weeks, everyone has gotten used to this way.

"Good one (pass)—!" Kobayashi Yuan yelled, and when he stretched out his hand to give the second pass, Kageyama Feixiong saw through it because the gesture was too obvious.

"Senior, pass back (Note 2)."

Even after hearing that the opponent has expressed his intention, he can't change his gesture, because the ball has already been passed.Qian Haoping, the deputy attacker in the second position, looked at the block on the opposite side who jumped up with him, turned his hand that was about to smash the ball, and patted it lightly with the back of his hand.

I didn't expect that it would suddenly become a lob, and those in the back row didn't have time to keep up, and even if they jumped over, they couldn't save the ball.

"Beep——" a short whistle sounded, and Supervisor Xiangyuan signaled for Bingdi to score.The student in charge of the score board outside the court turned the board over, 1:0.

"Strike!" Sakakibara clapped his hands twice without hesitation, "That's the rhythm."

Beichuan, on the other hand, gave the usual high-five comfort: "Don't worry, don't worry, come back!" When Aso walked past the second graders in the back row, he whispered: "Remember to protect the front row." Then he went back to his second grader. Passing number three clapped his hands: "Concentrate! Give a good pass (Note 3)!"

Gradually, the players on Beichuan's side got into shape. At the beginning, the three-point difference was quickly narrowed to one point. The rounds were fast, and the score was stalemate. Unexpectedly got the game point of the first game, 24:23 (Note 4).

"Concentrate, don't be nervous." Tsukasa Sakakihara glanced at the server. It was Yutaro Kanedaichi, a second-year student who had cooperated with him as the opponent's main attacker. "Keep the ball in place and don't panic."

Yutaro Kanedaichi's serve has always been a jump serve (Note 5). The jump serve has the advantage of being fast, powerful, and extremely offensive. The disadvantage is that it is easy to go out of bounds or get off the net (Note 6).

When Sakakihara saw Kanedaichi serve the ball, he knew that the ball was in bounds. He frowned and saw Takishima Akira, who was catching the ball, miss it out of the field.

The deputy attacker closest to the ball, Jiang Ze, ran over there quickly: "There is more!" Then he turned his back to the court and hooked the ball back before it hit the ground.

In contrast to the tense saving atmosphere on Bingdi's side, Aso on Beichuan's side shouted: "There is no (offensive)! Watch out for chance balls—"

The mediocre ball was sent over. For Beichuan, this was a good chance and he quickly organized the attack.

Block out of bounds.

At 25:23, in the first game, Beichuan Yizhong won, and the two sides exchanged venues.

The substitute handed over the unscrewed water, and six people gathered around while drinking the water.Sakakihara looked at the surrounding players and pointed out the problem of the last round: "You should be familiar with the May 7st (Note 30) game, why are there still people in a hurry when you play, don't be confused, let him whistle when he blows the whistle, We stand up and then send it for [-] seconds, right? And there was a little bit good just now, the front row was blocked and the back row was protected, that's right. You see, we were prepared for the three or four lobs just now, continue. Hold on. Front block..."

3 minutes passed quickly. Kobayashi Yuan stretched out his hand when he heard the opening whistle sounded. Tsukasa Sakakihara smiled and reached out. , Three, Ice Empress—take——!”

The people who were wearing Ice Emperor's school uniforms in the stands scattered everywhere also gathered together and shouted: "Ice Emperor—Come on—!"

Sakakihara turned around and looked up, showing a small smile.

Beichuan has the ball, and the second game begins.

Sitting on the coach's rest chair, Tsukasa Sakakibara took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Keigo Atobe, asking about the situation of the game there.

"Atobe-kun, has the No. [-] court started yet?" - from Tsukasa Sakakihara

The text message came back quickly.

"My uncle will play in 10 minutes." - from Atobe
