The journey from volleyball

Chapter 144 The third round opponent

Qingcheng defeated Xiaogu, but not Mutu Kotaro.

Because a man who can accept failure with his head held high cannot be defeated by the enemy.

Even the opposite.

After the game, Asuka Akashi was entangled by Kotaro Mutu instead.

"Hehehe~~ Akashi-kun, have you confirmed your opponent for the next match?" With a familiar laugh and a familiar enthusiasm, Akashi Asuka knew who it was without even turning his head.

Faced with such a super familiar person, even Akashi Asuka was quite helpless, turned around and said: "It's basically confirmed, are you ready to leave?"

Mutu Kotaro put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Of course, in order to beat you next time, we have already made preparations for the summer devil training. When the next game comes, you should be prepared!"

Kotaro Kitu is full of energy, which is in stark contrast to Akashi Asuka who is full of helplessness at the moment. If you don't know the inside story, you may think Kotaro Mutu is the victor.

"In that case, I wish you all the best of luck..."

Akashi Asuka was about to wish Xiaogu and his party a smooth journey, but then suddenly remembered that these people seemed to live in Tokyo, and it was estimated that it would take less than half an hour to travel to Tokyo Gymnasium.

Maybe if they go back today, they can come over to watch Qingcheng's game tomorrow.

So Akashi Asuka could only change the subject and said, "Come on, summer training!"

"Do not worry!"

Kotaro Mututa patted his chest boldly, then suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the coach of Yinju seems to have called a team from Miyagi Prefecture to join us in this school league training. ?"

"If you're talking about Karasuno, I think I should know him." Akashi Asuka rubbed his chin and said.

"Oh! Do you even know that team? It seems that they are indeed as interesting as Coach Yinju said. " Mutu Kotaro's eyes flickered, and his heart gradually grew a little bit of anticipation.

"By the way, do you, Qingcheng, want to join our practice match this time? If you want to come, I can ask the coach to invite you!"

"Ok?"

Akashi Asuka was slightly taken aback, and then a few strands of thought appeared in his eyes.

to be frank.

This internal practice match led by Xiaogu Academy is indeed quite valuable. If Qingcheng can join in, it will also be of great benefit to them.

But in the end, Akashi Asuka shook his head and refused: "I can't decide this matter, I can only see what arrangements our coach will make in the next time."

"Really? That's such a pity."

"Muto-san, we should go. If it is any later, the school bus will leave." Seeing that Mutu Kotaro still had the urge to continue chatting with Akashi Asuka, Akashi Keiji had to interrupt him in advance.

Kotaro Mutu had no choice but to shut his mouth regretfully.

Xiaogu's group passed by Akashi Asuka, but they didn't have a good face towards Akashi Asuka. After all, not everyone can face the situation that just brought him a huge failure like Kitu Kotaro calmly. opponent.

But when Chiwei Jingji passed by Akashi Asuka, he suddenly opened his mouth and whispered: "Your opponent in the next game seems to be Susaka, right? Just to remind you, their style of play is very similar to your current lineup. But they are more mature, in a sense, they may be your biggest nemesis in this tournament."

It is also the top team in the country, it also has a national 'ace', and it has entered the national competition dozens of times in a row.

Owl Valley Academy and Susaka High School have collided quite often in national competitions.

Although Chiwei Jingzhi hadn't participated in the competition at that time, his understanding of powerful enemies was not rare at all.

And now Akashi Asuka has been recognized by Kotaro Kotaro, so Akawei Keiji doesn't mind giving Qingcheng a little reminder. Of course, it is also possible that he simply wants to see Qingcheng and Kasaka fight against each other.

After all, there are not a few setters with such evil intentions, at least in the Qingcheng team, there happens to be such a person.

······
Someone in the hotel: "Achoo~Achoe~~"

Ah!

It's strange, maybe I have a cold.

······
After the people from Owl Valley left, Akashi Asuka also returned to the hotel.

At this time, everyone in the hotel was discussing tactics, and Nobu Teru Irihata, who was in front of the tactical board, was introducing the information of the next opponent in detail.

"Susaka High School, Oita County's representative team, has entered the national competition for the 29th time in nine consecutive years. From the statistics alone, Susaka High School is stronger than the previous opponent Owl Valley Academy, and from the facts, it is indeed the case. "

"From the perspective of basic quality, Susaka High School is similar to Owl Valley Academy. They are both the top old schools in the country. You must have seen it from the previous Owl Valley Academy players."

Shinobu Irihata said as he said, and all the Qingcheng players in front of the tactical board fell silent.

Although Qingcheng won the last game, it mainly relied on Akashi Asuka and Kawatoru, and the role played by other players in this game cannot be said to be non-existent, but compared with Xiaogu, it is still a big difference cut.

Qingcheng is also considered a veteran powerhouse in Miyagi Prefecture, and the daily training of all players can be considered assiduous, so their basic quality can be regarded as one of the best in Miyagi Prefecture.

But once they win the national competition, not to mention the old strong school like Xiaogu Academy, even the Senran college that was eliminated by them in the first round, but the basic quality can still be on par with Qingcheng.

This is not because the training of the people in Qingcheng is not serious enough, but because they lack the corresponding training equipment, and their professionalism and scientific level are far behind those of Xiaogu Academy.

And this small distance may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, in a game, there can be almost a 3-5 point difference in a game.

Recall the match between Qingcheng and Xiaogu.

To know.

Qingcheng has two powerful servers, Akashi Asuka and Kawatoru, and they can establish an average advantage of 2 to 4 points in a game just by serving.

But after the start of the second game, although Kotaro Mutu broke out, he helped Xiaogu score a lot of points.

But he is only one person after all, even if he can score successfully every time he gets the offensive power, it is only one point.

Facing the scoring efficiency of Akashi Asuka and Kawatoru after the cooperation, Kotaro Kituta's ability to keep the balance alone is quite remarkable, so how could it be possible to overtake in the middle game.

There is only one answer.

That is, the points that were overtaken were not taken by Xiaogu, but were given to them by Qingcheng players' mistakes.

In high school games, the point difference is not only caused by offense and defense, the stability of the team is also an important criterion for determining the outcome.
