[Volleyball] Ace Defense

The moonlight soaked into the entire courtyard, and the sharp arcs were blurred into smooth arcs.There is a specially dug creek in front of the porch of Ji Chuan’s house. Sitting on the floor of the porch, if the feet hang down, they can directly soak in the cold stream, which is very, very comfortable.

Hinata Xiangyang and Oikawa Toru sat side by side in front of the porch.The most delicious part of the watermelon has been eaten, leaving the light red skin on the plate.Black watermelon seeds formed a small arc on the spread newspaper.

"Well, is Oikawa-senpai free tomorrow?" There was a moment of silence between each other, and each other closed their eyes to blow the air. Hinata Xiangyang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head, "I still want to play volleyball with Oikawa-senpai!" Eyes Shining brightly in the night, full of anticipation, completely irresistible.

"Then let's start with the serve?"

"Eh~?" Totally out of Oikawa Toru's expectation, Hinata Xiangyang, who was still eager to try, soon became depressed, showing a pitiful expression, "But I want Oikawa-senpai to throw the ball for me!"

Oi Chuanche didn't think about this sentence.Combined with the scene of playing volleyball with Xiangyang Hinata today, he clearly observed that although Xiangyang Hinata is very interested in volleyball and will learn some volleyball skills very seriously, but this is not Xiangyang Hinata's favorite place for volleyball.Oikawa Toru once thought about the reason why Hinata Xiangyang likes volleyball, but he didn't guess that Hinata Xiangyang's favorite thing is to get other people's toss.

Hinata Xiangyang is not tall, or to put it more directly, his height will limit his position in volleyball games.Oi Chuanche seldom sees the main attacker or assistant attacker in the game with a height of less than 170 cm.As a main attacker or assistant attacker, the most important thing is to rely on smashes to score points. Therefore, shorter people will encounter more severe interceptions in front of the net when smashing. At the same time, "the height that cannot be broken The "wall" phenomenon will also arise because of this. If you can't score with smashes, and your opponent intercepts the volleyball repeatedly, it will deal a fatal blow to your morale.

Therefore, Oikawa Toru has always taken it for granted that Hyuga Shoyo is a "free man".If you have outstanding reflexes, you can save the ball no matter how difficult it is, and create opportunities for your teammates to "live", then it doesn't matter if you are a little shorter.He never thought that Xiangyang Hyuga would want to be the type to take the initiative to attack.

"To be honest, Xiang-chan's height is not very suitable for being an attacking party." Ji Chuanche gave his opinion very pertinently.

"I also know that I am short compared to others, but... I have the ability to bounce!"

"Then try showing me tomorrow, I'm very interested~" Oikawa Toru suddenly became curious about Hinata Xiangyang's inexplicable sense of self-confidence, and he believed that Hinata Xiangyang would never want to express himself and make up He lied to him, but... "Speaking of which, Xiang-chan said that he has practiced volleyball for a year, but it looks like he just got into volleyball?"

Speaking of this topic, Hinata Xiangyang immediately became embarrassed and complained, "Because there is no men's volleyball club in Yukigaoka... so I usually practice volleyball against the wall by myself, and many of them are imitations. The posture in the picture in the book, no one taught me to serve, and no one gave me the ball..." The voice gradually died down, and his face was full of disappointment.

Oikawa couldn't imagine that kind of scene at all, because he had many teammates from the beginning.He never tried to be alone.

Gently put both hands on Hinata Xiangyang's hair and rubbed it, "Then Xiang-chan can come to the west of Qingye City in the future, and then he won't play volleyball alone."

"Eh?" Hinata Xiangyang raised his head in surprise, blinked his eyes, "Thank you... But... I have already decided not to go to Karasuno High School!"

"Hey, hey, I'm in the west of Qingye City. Xiang-chan said that as if he disliked me. I'm going to be sad!" He rubbed his hair slightly, and He Chuanche leaned closer to Xiangyang, deliberately suppressing his face somber and ugly .

"Hey—I'm not looking down on Oikawa-senpai, Oikawa-senpai is really handsome in playing basketball! It's just that it's the 'Little Giant' from Karasuno High School that got me interested in volleyball. I've always been looking forward to entering Karasuno High School!"

"'Little Giant'..." After Hinata Xiangyang said this, Oikawa Toru remembered the ace player who once led Karasuno High School to the national competition.Although he has forgotten what the other party looks like, he still clearly remembers that the other party's height is similar to Hinata Xiangyang.People with the same characteristics will indeed make people chase after them involuntarily, and Toru Oikawa can understand Hinata Xiangyang's choice.

"Then I will become an enemy in the future, and I will not show mercy." It was a smile that was not a smile.

"I, I won't show mercy either!" Hinata Xiangyang clenched his fists tightly, with a serious expression on his face, which made Oi Chuanche laugh.

However, it is estimated that Hinata Xiangyang will be very disappointed when he went to Karasuno High School?Oikawa Toru thought of the volleyball practice match with Karasuno High School a few weeks ago. Karasuno High School, who had entered the national competition, is now just a declining powerhouse, just a crow that can't fly. not far off.The glorious era of the little giant has passed, and the dazzling crown will lose its bright luster due to time.

...What a pity.

But that's good too, compared to Aoba Josai, which has many masters, Hinata Xiangyang may be more suitable for Karasuno High School.I like playing volleyball so much, if I can't become the main pick after entering high school, and I can't participate in the competition, I think this passionate little girl will be disappointed.Karasuno High School is definitely not a good choice.People yearn for strong colleges and universities, but there are so many talented players in a strong team. If they are not good enough, they will be left behind by everyone. Moreover, the coach will not put too much energy on those who are not talented. body.

This may be cruel, but this is reality.The powerful are destined to use the naked|naked and bloody law of the jungle to make the entire team stronger.

The next day continued yesterday's training, but what was different from yesterday was that Oikawa Toru threw the ball to Hinata Xiangyang for the first time.Although he is known as "a veritable setter who can make his teammates play 100% of their strength", when he threw the first ball to Xiangyang Hinata, he still chose the most conservative way of throwing the ball.According to Hinata Xiangyang's reaction to his toss, we can observe the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

The ball is lifted up and then dropped down.Then, Hinata Xiangyang squatted down slightly, bent over slightly, and jumped up high with the strength of his legs——

This simply surprised Oikawa Toru.Although Hinata Xiangyang has heard that he has excellent jumping ability, but he never thought that it would be like this... The scene, the jump is too high, right? !Generally speaking, if it was Hinata Xiangyang's height, the jump height would only be two-thirds of the current height.I feel that this is no longer in the category of jumping ability, but has really flown up, and the height is too scary.

Moreover, Hinata Xiangyang, who jumped up and was about to smash the ball, was astonishingly focused.The face that usually shows a cute smile has changed into an expression that makes people feel threatened.It was originally gentle and harmless, but now it has revealed its sharp fangs.

……little monster.

Oikawa Toru raised his head and looked at Hinata Xiangyang who jumped up, but the other party only saw the volleyball in his eyes, as if he had found the prey, and he was focusing on the subtle movements of the prey.The seemingly slender arm was full of strength. With a heavy blow, the volleyball flew to the wall quickly, with an indescribable feeling.It's as if the ball is bound to go over the net and land precisely where no one is defending on the opponent's court.

"Huh——! That's amazing!" Standing firmly on the ground, Hinata Xiangyang stared blankly at his palm.Because the force of hitting the ball was too great, there was still a numb and hot feeling in the palm of the hand, and the skin was slightly red.The first time he received the ball from the setter, it felt completely different from any previous smash.The blood was boiling in his body, his ears were blank, and then gradually, the voice came back.

"Super~ super amazing! Senior Oikawa's toss is so cool!"

It was obviously just an ordinary toss, but the other party's expression of indescribable emotion, clenched fists and sparkling eyes made people feel a little pitiful.Perhaps, for Hinata Xiangyang, no matter how ordinary the toss is, it has a different meaning to him.So, cherishing the toss so much makes every setter have indescribably complicated emotions.As if you are needed.

While there is a sense that the players need his toss in normal times, the need is different now: the setter is an indispensable presence.His straightforward actions tell you that he cannot live without you, that he longs for you.As long as they are setters, they will like such players very much.

"Xiang-chan really jumped very high, which surprised me." Ji Chuanche bent down and picked up the volleyball that rolled to his feet, holding it with one hand, showing a gentle smile, "If you work hard, Xiang Sauce will definitely become the trump card!"

"Really~Really?!" Hinata Xiangyang cheered happily, but Oikawa Toru added next.

"Although you do jump very high, which is your most obvious advantage, but your technique is still immature, and you still haven't noticed some small details. You have to slowly correct your shortcomings."

Hinata Xiangyang nodded, with a moved face, "Senior Hechuan taught me a lot these two days, thank you so much!"

"Then let's continue practicing from the serve now." Oikawa Tetsu laughed.

"Hey! Why?"

"There is no reason, come here and serve, I will watch you from the side."

"Wow——Senior Oikawa's smile looks so annoying!"

"Hello!"
