[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

That night, everyone from the Shiratorizawa Junior High Volleyball Club gathered in the restaurant——

While eating the dinner prepared by the two female managers, they discussed before the battle.

The meal was lively and colorful, but the discussion was unprecedentedly cold.

"Alas..." Chiho picked up a piece of soup tofu with a headache and brought it to her mouth. The tofu melted instantly in her mouth, and the warm and soft taste made her feel a little comfort in the one-sided "discussion".

"Ayane, this is so delicious that you made it." Slightly diverting a sentence from the question was a change of mind for her.

"Thank you for the compliment! If Senior Chiho likes to eat, I'll teach you how to make it next time~" Ayane sipped the miso soup with her back straight, and a lady from a famous family should also maintain thoughtful etiquette at the table.

"That's really great." Chiho said, but patted the table heavily with her hand twice.

The noisy teenagers immediately stopped fighting for food, and looked at the manager who seemed to be about to explode.

"I said—" Chiho's mouth twitched, trying to calm herself down, "Please be quiet while eating, I still have something to say about tomorrow's game."

……

In the restaurant, only the sound of Ushido chewing rice nonchalantly.

Niu Dao was very quiet when he was eating, he didn't say a word, probably only eating and eating... right?

Chiho had no choice but to stare at him, and then said: "Everyone already knows that tomorrow our opponent is Sapporo Middle School from Hokkaido—the same team that had a bye in the first round like us. Their best score in history is [-] Strong, the strength should not be underestimated."

"I know very little about this school. I only know that they have a lot of big men, and their style of play is known for their toughness. According to the information from Teacher Diguang, it should be a very strong offensive team."

"Hmm..." Ozaki nodded, thoughtfully, he knew that as a free man, he would definitely face great pressure.

Chiho understood what he meant: "So, in order to relieve Ozaki-senpai's pressure, we must do a good job of blocking. In the first half of the first game, we focused on observing their offensive balls and trying to reduce the point difference as much as possible. Blocking their best line of attack, increasing the opponent's turnovers, after winning the ball back--"

"Start the offensive mode we are best at."

"OK, Kobayashi, I'll trouble you too." Captain Tamura said it was okay, and said to Kobayashi, who was also the deputy attacker.

"Okay." Kiyoshi Kobayashi is the calmest one in the second grade, and he has a good mind. He is the commander of blocking the net.

"No problem Yasuhara ~ leave the offense to us!" The main attacker Kinoshita talks about offense. He is tall and has long arms, which can bring great defensive pressure to the opponent on the court.

"Oh! In terms of toughness, I won't lose!" The other main attacker, Mase, has a strong build. Although he is not as tall as Kinoshita, he hits the ball very powerfully.

Ushijima was still concentrating on eating, he picked up a piece of tempura and ate it until his mouth rattled.

Chiho knew that he was actually listening carefully, and he didn't express much opinion in every battle meeting. He was used to this style for a long time, so he didn't ask his opinion, and continued to explain other tactical details.

Ayane listened with interest from the side. She has now completely left the volleyball rookie stage and is moving towards a deeper understanding of the game.

At this moment, Chiho's phone rang.

She asked everyone to continue eating, and she left the dining table to the corridor outside before pressing the answer button.

It is the instructor of the volleyball club, Morita.

An unreliable MAX adult who can paddle as much as he can.

Chiho didn't know how he became a regular employee of the school - he could only be thankful that he taught the first grade.

Well, he is also the homeroom teacher of the substitute setter, Fujii-san.

On the phone, Mr. Morita said that he would arrive at noon tomorrow, and he would be absent from the second round of competition in the morning.

Tomorrow is the second and third rounds of the match, against Sapporo Middle School in the morning, and the opponent in the afternoon will not be known until after the second round.

Chiho agreed and turned off the phone resentfully.I quickly drove out the negative emotions about this teacher from my body and returned to the restaurant.

——From the volleyball club, which was far from being a hit, to the current representative of Miyagi Prefecture, they have done a good enough job.As for Chiho herself, she only felt that she was just doing what a manager and coach should do, and that everyone else worked harder than her.

This is not overly modest, but her chosen beliefs.

And this also became a foreshadowing, a foreshadowing for everyone in the volleyball club to really wake up.

The match against Sapporo Junior High School was just as Chiho predicted before the match, the opponent's fierce offensive at the beginning almost put them into a tough fight.However, the blocks under the command of Kobayashi began to take effect gradually, and the excellent performance of Ozaki-senpai even saved a few key goals. As the main attackers led by Ushijima bombed in turn, the defense of Sapporo Middle School began to collapse.

Shiratorizawa finished within two innings, not an easy one, but it was good enough.

"Congratulations~ Everyone did a great job!" Chiho handed the towels to the players, and breathed a sigh of relief. This round of competition passed smoothly, and they are now in the top 16.

What reassured Chiho most about this team was the ability to execute tactics.

For any competition team, this is a crucial quality. A team without core tactics is like a mess. No matter how hard the players try, they will fail.

Although they looked at all kinds of worries in the battle meeting, when they actually arrived on the field, the style of carrying out to the end without her reminding them was the key to their victory all the way.

The issues that worried her most before were experience and mentality, but today it seems that she is completely overwhelmed.Not only are these main candidates not nervous, but they have become more stable because of their performance in a larger venue, and some of them even performed at an extraordinary level.

——Especially Ushido, that power seems to have evolved again.

Chiho looked at Ushijima who was resting on the bench. After the fierce battle just now, his body was covered with only a thin layer of sweat, and he looked very relieved.

At this time, he also looked at himself, and the two met their eyes.

"Ruoli, are you feeling okay? Let's work hard for the afternoon game too~" Chiho quietly gave him a thumbs up, sending him a signal of encouragement.

Ushido nodded, took a sip of water, and looked completely OK.

Chiho smiled at him, picked up the phone, and called Sensei Morita.

If nothing else, the teacher should be here soon.

"Hello? I've arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium... Are you still in the volleyball hall?" The teacher's voice sounded hurried from the other end of the phone.

"We're all here, Mr. Morita, please hurry up, we'll be back for lunch soon."

Ayane stayed at the hotel to prepare lunch, and Chiho had sent her the good news of winning just now.

"Okay! I'll be right there~" Morita hung up the phone.

Chiho stared at the phone screen, teacher, doesn't he care about the result of the competition?

Alas, it really is the existence of our school's No. 1 level of unreliability.She's even worried that he might not be at the gym yet.

"Yasuhara!" The group had already packed up their belongings and was about to leave, when Morita arrived just in time.

He is an English teacher who teaches first grade. He has only been in Shiratorizawa for a few years. How many things can be loaded--the kind of person who does things out of style and doesn't stick to one pattern.

"I'm sorry... I just finished dealing with the matter over there, thank you for your hard work." Morita said so, but he didn't feel guilty at all in his heart.

For him, being the instructor of the volleyball club was a hassle.

If it wasn't for the principal's will, he probably would never have touched the sport in his entire life.

Before Yasuhara Chiho came, he handed over the volleyball team to Kujo. Now that he has a serious and responsible manager like Chiho, he can be lazy again.

"It's okay, teacher, we're going back to have lunch now, shall we go together?" Chiho led the team to meet him and said to him.

"Well, by the way...how was the game in the morning?" Morita remembered to ask.

"I won." Chiho replied succinctly, while finding the bus driver's number on her mobile phone.

"So powerful?" Morita was a little surprised, "Then I will cheer you on in the afternoon~"

"It's the result of everyone's joint efforts, so I will ask the teacher for the support in the afternoon~"

In the national competition held in Tokyo, there were not many spectators in the first three rounds. Except for the local schools, there were only a handful of specially organized supporters, and the same was true for Shiratorizawa.

——Only by making it to the top 8 will it be possible to see people who come to cheer in the stands.she thinks.

Originally, men's volleyball in junior high school received very little attention, far less attention than IH and Chungao in high school.

The opponent in the afternoon is Fukui Junior High School from Fukuoka Prefecture. The characteristic is that all members are good at powerful serve.

So, the lunch time was once again used by Chiho for a battle meeting.

"The way to deal with this kind of team is actually simpler than that of Sapporo Middle School, which is to defend with all your strength-and then counterattack." She said, "We can't let them control the rhythm of the game. Once they serve and score consecutively, it will be very unfavorable to us. So, please, let the usual plentiful catch practice work—”

When Chiho said this, she looked at Ushijima, "Wakari, everyone except you will participate in the defense, and the offense will trouble you."

"Okay, leave it to me." Unswerving, strong self-confidence based on strength is the most stable existence in the team.

"Everyone have a good rest at noon, and store up your energy for the battle in the afternoon—!"

Mr. Morita ate curry silently, expressing that although he didn't understand, he thought it was very powerful.

"Mr. Morita, do you have anything to say?" Ayane interrupted abruptly.

"Hmm...!" He waved his hands and made a V, which probably meant to cheer up?

"Thank you teacher~" Ayane smiled.

I always feel that this manager is the scariest... Morita's intuition told himself.

In the game against Fukui Middle School in the afternoon, when the opponent took the lead in serving and scored in the first game, Shiratorizawa mobilized almost everyone's strength, fought hard to defend, and seized the few opportunities to blow the whistle. The horn of counterattack.Ushido's powerful spike made the opponent helpless, and finally achieved a lead in the latter part of the schedule. 1-2, Shiratorizawa won and advanced to the top 8 with difficulty. This is already the best result in the history of the volleyball team.

Mr. Morita said that after the game, please go outside and have a good meal.

——Unreliable adults still have some feelings in this regard, as if the club they are in charge of wins, it seems that they are also winners in life, and they start to squander their wallets when they get excited.

Chiho was waiting for the pick-up bus outside the gymnasium with the members, but at this moment received a call from Kise.

"Xiao Yasuhara! We won today~ and it was super easy~" The sunny tone rose slightly, and Chiho could guess how happy he is now.

"Congratulations, we also won today." The bus drove up in front of us.

"But you still didn't come, I'm so sad~" It doesn't sound like it.

Chiho was at the end of the line: "I'm sorry, I really can't get away from here."

"Hey... what about tomorrow? You can come tomorrow, right?" The sound of "I'm obviously rejecting you, idiot!" came from the background sound.

"We also have a match tomorrow, sorry Kise-kun, I really can't leave for a moment." Chiho boarded the bus.

"Wu Xiaoqingfeng, you are too much... No, no, no, I mean, we will definitely make it to the final! It will be the day after the volleyball final, so you can always come then?" Full of confidence, after all, it seems like they Every player is not easy.

"It depends... Although I do plan to stay in Tokyo for a few more days, if the competition time conflicts with my schedule, I'm sorry I can't come either." Chiho was referring to Kiriyama Zero's ranking match, She stayed in Tokyo because she wanted to visit him and watch the battle by the way.

"Okay! Then it's a deal~" Even though Chiho didn't guarantee that she would go, Kise unilaterally made the invitation.

Turning off the phone, Chiho leaned her head up against the back of the seat, staring at the roof of the car with her eyes empty.

"Whose call was that just now?" Udo asked beside him.

"The boy I met after the Teiko training match last time. I got lost yesterday, but I ran into him again, and he asked for his phone number..." Chiho replied honestly, "He actually He is the main pick of the Teiko Basketball Club, and he is playing here now, so he wants to invite me to watch..."

"No." Udo Island interrupted her and quickly vetoed it, feeling cold all over her body.

Chiho was silent for a while, then tilted her head and stared at him: "Is Ruoli jealous?"

"Yes."

"what?"

"I'm jealous."

"..." Chiho is in a bad mood, who can tell her how to proceed with this conversation!

"You can't go anyway."

"Okay...then I'm going to stay in Tokyo to watch Xiao Ling's game after the volleyball club is over, don't stop me." Chiho felt that she wanted to regain her personal freedom.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Chiho realized that she was completely defeated by him.
