[Volleyball] Black and White

Kindaichi served at the beginning of the game. The jump serve in the previous game put a lot of pressure on the ice emperor. What makes people happy is that Kindaichi made a mistake in the jump serve and went off the net.

Bingdi's position took a turn to allow Kobayashi Yuanzhu's setter to stand in the third position. Whether the two offensive points can be kept depends on whether the opponent's attack can be stopped.

In the previous month, they were almost dizzy from Sakakihara's spike almost every day. The three people in the front row who were about to block together looked at each other a few times.

——Today's game can't give this unlovable junior any more excuses to practice more!

Sakakihara looked down at his watch, and left quietly through the side door.In order to save time, he ran to the tennis court, but when Sakakihara arrived at the tennis court, he froze in place.The three floors in the tennis court and the outer three floors are tightly wrapped, but at a height of nearly 180, he can still be seen by 190 Huadi.

He waved his hand to signal that he couldn't get in, and then saw Huadi come out of the court to pick him up.

"Who is this person? Ask Huadi to pick him up?"

"It's not from the tennis club, is it? I haven't seen it before!"

The whispers around made Sakakihara frowned, but it was only for a few seconds.Walking into the tennis court, a dv was set up in the stands at the front of court No. [-]. Tsukasa Sakakibara knew that it must be the best view, so he sat next to the dv.

"Atobe-kun!" Sakakihara waved at Atobe Keigo who was about to play.

Atobe stroked the mole of tears and responded: "Ah!" The corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing a smile.

The screams outside the arena became more intense, and Sakakihara touched his ears, he was a little afraid that his ears would ring when he went back.

Atobe is about to play, and the atmosphere outside the arena is getting more and more enthusiastic.Tsukasa Sakakihara watched as Keigo Atobe walked onto the court with a racket, raising his hands high like a king over the world.

"Snapped!"

For a moment, everyone fell silent and stared at the dazzling boy, the long-sleeved team uniform jacket was thrown high and fell on the bench.

"—The winner is my uncle!"

Sakakihara felt that his adaptability was getting better and better, and he didn't feel the harshness of the screams outside the court.It was the third-year Hara Masaho who was playing against Atobe, but Sakakihara was not worried at all, because Atobe gave people the feeling that as long as he stood on the court, he would not lose.

He propped his chin and watched the little yellow ball go back and forth, and was patted on the shoulder.

"Yo Sakaki!" It was Taki.

"Is your match over?" Tsukasa Sakakihara asked after Taki sat down beside him, "How long will Atobe-kun be able to fight this time?" His side is still competing.

Taki Oginosuke tousled his hair, and his somewhat feminine posture was only pleasing to the eye: "Of course the minister can make a quick decision. The seniors are not the minister's opponents at all."

Ah, to catch an Atobe fanboy.

Tsukasa Sakakihara was a little hot under the sun, squinting slightly to see Atobe hardly sweating on the court, and comparing it with the sweaty appearance of the third-year senior on the opposite side, he nodded in agreement: "Sure enough, it's not an opponent."

Tennis matches are actually very interesting, of course, if the two sides are of equal strength.

The seniors in the third grade had their heads shaved, 6:0, not even conceding a small point to the opponent.

Sakakibara raised his hand and looked at his watch. The 5-minute game was mainly about watching the handsome Atobe.He stood up and patted Taki Oginosuke on the shoulder: "I'll go first, I guess I'm going to play the game over there."

"There will be a minister's match next time, Sakaki, don't you want to watch it?"

Tsukasa Sakakihara tapped the dial on his wrist: "I want to watch it, but time is not allowed, and I have to be responsible for my team members." When Atobe turned around to drink water and prepare to rest, Sakakihara Tsukasa left Court No. [-] , Let the unselected players open the iron gate of the tennis court and walk out from the crowd.

After leaving for nearly 10 minutes, I didn’t know how the game was going. The first reaction when Sakakihara entered the arena was to check the score. At 15:8, Beichuan took the lead. The difference was seven points, which is already a relatively large gap. .

He asked the boy standing on the bench in a low voice, and found that Hidei hadn't called a timeout in this round, and Sakakihara returned to the coach's bench while the ball was still being seen.

The persistent ball is not a difficult thing for the ice emperor, 9:15.

After the ball was over, Sakakihara called a timeout.

"Take a break, the long-lasting shot was good just now," Sakakibara handed the water to the nearest comet Sato, "I just left for 10 minutes, so I didn't see your performance on the previous dozen shots. From now on Hitting the long ball is beneficial to us, not that we have to waste it with them. The ball just now had a chance to be killed, and it was hit at the [-]th position. Senior Sato hesitated for a moment. Don't hesitate, it should be dunked Hold it down, what's the point of being blocked? Our setters are not protecting you from below you? If you can't fight, reorganize."

"We can't be impatient. The mistake just now was because the opponent No. [-] was in a hurry..." Xiao Linyuan took the words and continued. He saw the figure of Sakakihara leaving, so he paid attention to every ball on the opponent's side and himself. , seriously analyzing where the ball should not have been lost just now.

Sakakihara Division looked at Shohara Supervisor at the referee seat, and Shohara Supervisor showed an appreciative smile at Sakakihara Division.

After calling a timeout, Bingdi swept away the frequent loss of points just now, chasing down the point difference. After being chased by five points in a row, the score became 15:16, and Beichuan called a timeout.

The free man named Qian Haoping, who had been bouncing on the field, sat on the ground a little tired, and the second-year student who had a good relationship with him next to him helped him massage the muscles of his legs.Sakakibara distributed the towels among the six people: "The next round will be for the senior to serve, so Hasegawa-senpai will go up."

The named substitute Hasegawa Hiroshi was taken aback for a moment: "Eh? Me?"

"Warm up and get ready, we will play later." Sakakihara nodded. "Relax, just serve as usual." After Hiroshi Hasegawa and another substitute went to another court to warm up, Sakakihara continued. , "His overhand serve will send a floating ball (note 1), but depending on the probability, you don't have to hold the mentality of serving and scoring, so let's go!"

"One, two, three, the Ice Emperor—take—!"

Starting from Keigo Atobe in the tennis department, the number of people watching the game in the stadium has decreased by more than half.The people who remained in the stands could be counted with two hands. Even so, there were less than ten people still cheering for Bingdi.

He whispered to the person next to him to send a few bottles of water, and then focused on the court.

The score was tied and soon overtaken.Hyotei served again, and Hasegawa took the ball from Namae and stood on the line waiting for the whistle (Note 2).

Sakakihara stared at Hasegawa's hitting spot, and then smiled slightly.

Kunimi, who has always been praised for his solid basic skills, knew it was broken the moment his arm touched the ball, and the ball was caught and flew into the stands.

"Dontmind! Dontmind! Come back!" Aso mobilized his enthusiasm loudly, "Pay attention to one after another!"

On the Bingdi side, they clapped Hasegawa's hands one by one: "Good job!"

Hasegawa, who served three balls in a row and scored three points for Byodi, seemed to lose the touch he had just had on the fourth ball, and was easily picked up by the opponent: "Yes (attack)!"

Then the secondary attacker Jin Tianyi dunked a diagonal line and killed him in the boundary.

Spiking the ball is always a good way to stimulate the atmosphere on the court, and this ball made the atmosphere on Beichuan's side heated up.Correspondingly, there is a somewhat gloomy atmosphere on Ice Emperor's side, especially Yuta Todo's, because he subconsciously dodged when the diagonal ball came, and when he reached out to catch it, he had already missed the time to catch the ball .

Standing on the sidelines, Mr. Sakakihara didn't mean to blame: "Don't worry, react normally, concentrate on catching the ball!" Then he looked back at the students in the stands who were paying attention to Hyotei, and waved his arm.

The classmate who immediately understood what Sakakihara meant quickly shouted: "Ice Emperor——"

"come on--!"

Almost an hour passed, and only two rounds were played, and the big score was 1:1.The best-of-five game system let everyone know that there were still more games to play. After the two sides switched venues, Sakakihara gave up the bench for the players to rest.

"I played well in the back, I have nothing to say."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed. In their hearts, this may be the best compliment that Sakakihara Division has given them.

Kobayashi Yuanhui on the field knows everyone's problems on the field better than Sakakihara Ji off the field, so after drinking the water, he called everyone by name and talked about it.

Secretary Sakakihara didn't interrupt, let alone comment.He just stood next to his chin and listened, "Okay, there will be any situation on the field, don't be too timid, let go and play, the second half of the game just now is good and everyone runs, take the initiative to ask for the ball!"

In the third game, Ice Emperor got the ball and Kobayashi Yuan served.

In the middle of the game, when Beichuan called a timeout, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the volleyball court on the second floor.Everyone looked over, and the one walking in the front was Keigo Atobe who had completed today's game.

Sakakihara suddenly had a headache, and he was more sorry for the juniors of Beichuan No. [-] Middle School.

No matter what kind of game is played on the road, it will put a lot of pressure on both sides.

Aso, who looked over from the opposite side, always felt that he saw a strange expression on Sakaki-senpai's face, which seemed to be apologetic and gloating.

Keigo Atobe sat in the stands with a group of people behind him, and Tsukasa Sakakibara nodded at Atobe when he saw that the stands were not crowded with people.

"There are so many people here all of a sudden, and they are all alumni of Hyotei." Secretary Sakakihara turned his head and looked at the team members who had begun to look a little nervous, "Why are you nervous, don't forget what you said, the other party is a junior high school student. Away Fighting puts more pressure on them, no one will cheer for them, and they have to face the cheers of so many of us."

Looking at the expressions of several people who couldn't relax at all, Sakakibara sighed: "Leave them alone, seniors, have some confidence. There is no Oikawa Toru, no Iwaizumi, and no me on the opposite side, what are you afraid of?!"

The last sentence raised his voice a little, which just stopped Aso who came to ask about the matter.

Disliked Aso: "Senior, I heard everything."

Secretary Sakakihara didn't feel ashamed of being caught complaining behind his back, "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you say it was a friendly match between the two schools? How did it become like this?" Aso pointed to the stands.

Sakaki, of course, Haraji: "I'm talking about a friendly match, not a closed-door practice match."

Aso who was speechless: "..."

The timeout ended and restarted, the score was 16:15, and Bingdi took the lead.

Maybe it's because he has never played in this kind of arena where all eyes are on him. After the timeout in the third game, everyone played with their hands tied.By the time the score reached 22:18, the six people on the field had already seen Sakakihara taking off his coat with a sullen face.

Keigo Atobe, Mukahi Shinozu of the same grade and others were sitting in the front row, and they could clearly see Sakakihara from sitting on the bench in the coach's bench, to standing up and walking to the sidelines to give instructions, and then to sternly saying nothing. He took off his sports jacket.

"Is Sakaki going to play?" Taki Oginosuke, who was sitting on the left side of Keigo Atobe, broke the dull atmosphere.

"It looks like it." Ninzuzu said, "But what is he messing around with?"

Atobe Keigo glanced at Shinobu, with his arms wrapped around his chest and shoulders in the Heidei tennis uniform jacket: "It's tape, Sakaki is an all-around player, it's for fixing the finger joints, and also for exerting force when attacking." and friction."

"Sure enough, it's Atobe, even this has been investigated." Xiang Ri stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth and said.

Sakakihara, whose fingers and wrists were already wrapped with tape, left the field from the passage behind him. At this time, the score was 20:23, and Hyotei served.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the round, Secretary Sakakihara re-entered from the passageway just now. The trousers he had been wearing before had been replaced, and the long-legged muscle lines he showed were beautiful and smooth.With his back to Keigo Atobe and the others, Sakakibara didn't see Atobe's gaze on him all the time, and he didn't see Atobe put his hand between his eyes to observe him with insight.

Tsukasa Sakakihara looked up at the score, 25:23, the big score was 2:1, Kitagawa took the lead.

Players on both sides switched places, waiting for the start of the fourth game.

Sitting under the stands of Atobe and the others became Beichuan No. [-] Middle School, and the six people were also covered with sweat. After wiping with the towels provided by the ice emperor, Aso began to summarize the previous game.

"Everyone has seen the next round. Senpai Sakaki is ready to play." Before Aso could say what happened next, Kindaichi screamed.

"—The Great Demon King is about to play?!"

The sound was so loud that even the ice emperor's team looked over.

Kobayashi looked at Sakakihara, who couldn't continue after half of his sentence: "...Pfft."

Atobe on the stand put down his hand and raised an eyebrow: "Is this what the foreign school called Sakaki? Ah well..." Atobe, who couldn't find any adjectives for a while, still felt that this name didn't match Sakakihara. , "It's really not gorgeous."

"I think it's pretty good." Shinobu pushed his glasses and looked at Sakakihara who was standing on the court. "The frightening devil, Sakaki... What kind of ball can he hit to be called so?"

Atobe didn't speak again, he actually didn't expect any changes in the next game when Sakakibara played.Volleyball is very different from tennis. In volleyball, it doesn't matter if one person is strong. Only when the whole team is strong can we win.

Let me see, what ability do you have to lead the Ice Emperor to the whole country.

Atobe's pretty lips curved into a wanton smile.
