The journey from volleyball

Chapter 43 Soft
boom!
Tobio Kageyama's second serve came.

The speed and strength are still excellent, but the landing point is not as tricky as the first ball. At the critical moment, Kurata Mao made a timely save and barely pulled the volleyball from the ground to the sky.

But the ball went straight back to Beichuan's No. [-] court.

"Good opportunity, I'll pick it up~"

The volleyball landed in the sky above Beichuan's first responder. He yelled, and then smoothly passed the ball to Tobio Kageyama.

Akashi Asuka stood in front of the net, his eyes fixed on Tokio Kageyama's hands.

"Who will this ball be passed to? Should it be passed to Jin Tianichi as usual, or let the back row participate in the attack..."

In the past, when Akashi Asuka blocked, most of them liked to use the "back block", that is, after seeing the direction of the setter pass, they immediately locked the direction of the spike to block.

The advantage of this kind of blocking is that it is not easy to be confused by the setter.The disadvantage is that the blocking response will be slightly slower.

For the opponents I faced before, this kind of 'back block' worked very well, because although the reaction was a bit slower, but with Akashi Asuka's own physical fitness, he could barely make up for it.

But now facing a setter like Tobio Kageyama, the effect of this 'back block' is very poor.

the reason is simple.

Because Tobio Kageyama passed the ball too fast, and he couldn't see the direction in which his body and fingers were tilting before passing the ball.

In contrast, perhaps the fastest fast break of other teams, in Beichuan No. [-], may only be a very ordinary attack.

Therefore, in order to stop Beichuan No. [-]'s fast break, Akashi Asuka must make a certain degree of anticipation.

"The blocks in the front row are myself, Ryohei Mishita, and Miki Oda. Jujiro Kazama and Masato Ohmae have already rotated to the backcourt, so this is almost the period when the team's blocks are weakest."

"If you want to attack, there is a high probability that the opponent will not choose my direction. This is too risky and unnecessary."

"On the contrary."

"Not only will this ball not choose me, but it should also avoid my position, so the biggest offensive possibility of this ball is still..."

call out!
Almost at the same time that Toki Kageyama left the volleyball, Akashi Asuka stepped forward and rushed towards Miki Oda, the fourth position on the far left of the front row.

Seeing this, Tobio Kageyama of the No. [-] backcourt in Beichuan shrank his pupils suddenly.

Arriving at the fourth position, Akashi Asuka jumped up in one step. At the same time, Beichuan's first offensive player just received the ball and swung his arm to dunk it.

boom!
Boom!
The touch of a volleyball came from the palm.

Beichuan's No. [-] and [-] offensive player's spike was just blocked by Akashi Asuka with one hand, but the ball went out of bounds after it hit the ground.

2: 5.

From the qualifiers to now, this is the first time that Xianguo has fallen into such a big disadvantage at the beginning.

The pressure gradually hits...
The breathing of the Xianguo players began to become heavy, and the shadow of Beichuan's fiasco in the first place seemed to be coming again.

······
"Wow! It's so dangerous, I almost got stopped."

Compared with the pressure from Xianguo, Beichuan's No. [-] offensive player also patted his chest with some fear.

to be frank.

When Akashi Asuka suddenly jumped out just now, he was really shocked.

Although the first coach of Beichuan had already analyzed Akashi Asuka's smash and block for them before the start of the game, if he hadn't experienced it himself, it would be really hard to imagine how much oppression brought by Akashi Asuka in just a moment. How scary.

so close.

He's about to be blocked.

wrong.

To be precise, the ball had already been blocked, but luckily, no points were lost.

The referee blows the whistle again.

Tobio Kageyama took the volleyball to the bottom line. Although they scored a point just now and the right to serve was still in their hands, Tobio Kageyama couldn't relax at all.

"That ball just now, that guy..."

The scene of Akashi Asuka's prediction of passing the ball just now constantly emerged in his mind. Although Tokio Kageyama had already expelled that scene before the serve, Tobi Kageyama was shocked when the volleyball was thrown into the sky.

"Oops, it's too low."

boom!
Tobio Kageyama jumped up quickly and hit the back of the volleyball with his palm.

The volleyball flew over the block, but its strength and speed were far from what it was before. The defensive players in the backcourt of Xianguo also discovered this, and stepped forward decisively to catch the ball.

"Chance ball!"

Ryohei shouted three times and passed the ball to Asuka Akashi. With a bang, the volleyball drew a diagonal line and fell on the ground in the first boundary of Beichuan.

3: 5.

After three serves, Xianguo finally regained the right to serve.

And after this round of rotation, it happened to be Akashi Asuka's turn to serve.

"Good serve, Akashi."

"Give them some color and show that group of guys that they're not the only ones who can serve."

"Reverse the score."

······
Everyone in Xianguo cheered for Akashi Asuka one by one.

On the opposite side, when Akashi Asuka took the ball, all Beichuan No. [-] players immediately stood up.

Just as Xianguo was wary of Tobio Kageyama's high-speed serve, Kitagawa's No. [-] player was also wary of Akashi Asuka's powerful serve.

Akashi Asuka took the ball beyond the baseline.

"Whoo~"

A breath of turbid air was exhaled along the lungs, and Akashi Asuka's heart also calmed down.

On the other side of the block, when Tobio Kageyama saw Akashi Asuka's movements, for no reason at all, an inexplicable chill suddenly rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Yingshan Feixiong was startled, and shouted decisively: "Everything is ready, don't be distracted!"

Su~~
The volleyball flew into the sky along the palm of Akashi Asuka, and then started to run, take off, and swing his arms...

Every movement Akashi Asuka made was very gentle, it looked like a soft feather fluttering in the air.

Until... the moment Akashi Asuka's palm touched the volleyball.

bang.

There seemed to be a thunderbolt sounding from the top of the Immortal Kingdom Field.

The feel of hitting the ball this time is an experience that Akashi Asuka has never had before.

In the past, when serving the ball, he felt the most touch, which is the toughness of the volleyball skin.But this time, Akashi Asuka felt a bit of softness from the volleyball.

He knew in his heart that it wasn't that the volleyball had softened, but that he hit the ball with too much force, which caused the illusion that the volleyball was squeezed by a huge force.

boom!
The volleyball flew out roaring.

Before the serve was even close, Beichuan's No. [-] player seemed to hear the roaring sound of the strong wind one step ahead.

next moment.

The roaring volleyball arrived in an instant, without even blinking, the ball had already arrived in Beichuan No. [-] court, then landed, squeezed, half of the volleyball sank, and bounced high...

"Boom!"

The sound didn't seem to catch up until the volleyball hit the wall behind.
