[Volleyball] Black and White

During the short break after the exchange of venues, Secretary Sakakihara started to fill in the player ranking list handed over by the vice referee: "I saw it in the game just now, the opponent is not our opponent, and the next senior and I will not play. , take this opportunity to contact the May Day equipment more, senior Xiao Lin needs to play three games, it's hard work."

He took a sip of the water cup with his name written on it that Sato handed over: "Wait, they will serve first, our offensive advantage, Kobayashi in the third position in the front row, Kurobi in the second position, Sato in the fourth position, and one in the back row. Dongdang at position [-], Takishima at position [-], and Irie at position [-]. I will change people halfway, and I will replace all the third graders on the field except Kobayashi-senpai. Hasegawa, Zhongshan, and Yoshida, don’t let yourself be too relaxed. You may be replaced."

The opening whistle sounded, and Secretary Sakakibara got up and put it on top of everyone's hands, and said in a deep voice: "Ice Emperor——"

This time, even the members of the department in the stands shouted together: "Take it—!"

Sakakihara Tsukasa sat back beside Shigeo Shohara.

"Supervisor, do you have anything to say?"

Shigeo Xiangyuan handed the towel to Sakakihara Division: "You played very well, and your arrangements were also very good. I have nothing to say. The opponent is not our opponent. It is very good that you choose to take this opportunity to exercise as a substitute."

In the second game, Kamada called two timeouts, and Sakakihara also replaced Nakayama and Yoshida Teru.

Sitting on the rest chair, Sakakihara crossed his arms, with his team uniform jacket on his shoulders, and focused on the two substitutes on the field.After a few balls, he nodded in satisfaction. It seems that when he concentrated on training the starting members recently, the substitutes did not relax their training.

The second round ended quickly, with a score of 25:15, Sakakihara directly removed all the third-year players from the ranking list of the third round.

"Senior Yoshida has improved a lot in his first-hand pass recently, let's try the setter in the next round." Secretary Sakakihara had asked Yoshida Teru to do the setter to cooperate with others during school training, and everyone understood that this was for training A guy who can hit the ball on the court.

"The third-year seniors, famous seniors, and I won't play anymore, and the next game will be up to you." Tsukasa Sakakibara put on the cap of his pen, and displayed the ranking table in front of the other five second-year students and Kurobi, "I don't want to need me to switch up or call a timeout halfway through."

"Don't worry, Minister." Todo Yuta said with a smile on the shoulder of his classmate Zhong Shanhuan, "Second graders are also very reliable."

Sakakihara suddenly didn't know what to say, and after thinking about it, he said, "Go!"

... He may have to follow his father's old path in the future.

Sakakihara thought with a blank expression on his face. (Sakaki Taro: Son, are you dissatisfied with my gestures and words?)

Kamata's score in the second game was higher than that of the first game. Mr. Sakakihara had already prepared to see the result with a higher score than the second game. Unexpectedly, the six players on the court played completely loose. The third game The score of the game was fixed at 25:13.Stand up and line up to shake hands, then the captains of Sakakihara and Kamada thanked the referee and vice referee respectively.

The two teams in the second field next to it were still playing, the score was stalemate, and the big score was only 1:1.Secretary Sakakihara led the team back to the waiting room. In order to prevent the sweaty players from catching a cold, everyone put on trousers and jackets again, and those who wanted to go out to watch the game left the waiting room.

Sakakihara Tsukasa and the three third graders were nestled in the lounge.

Reaching out his hand, he took out a chocolate bar from his golf bag, tore off the package and put it in his mouth. Under the watchful eyes of Sato Kei and Kobayashi Haru, Sakakihara took out another psp.

Sato Comet: "..."

Xiao Linyuan: "..."

Into Jiang Ze: "..."

"A Si, why do I get the feeling that you're here for vacation?" Ru Jiang Ze pushed his glasses and complained.

Sakakihara took the time to give them a look: "How can there be such a vacation, I call it a combination of work and rest."

God-like combination of work and rest.

Satou rolled his eyes.

"The first game was so easy, I feel that I will be more excited in the next game." Sato Kei stretched his legs and pressed down, "I always feel that I was replaced after not playing much in the first game."

"Then Sato-senpai wants to play three games with this kind of school?" Sakakihara said vaguely while playing the game without looking up.

Kobayashi Yuan understood the character of Sakakihara Division. In private, what this person said was always poisonous: "How can I say that Kamada used to enter the top [-] schools in the Kanto Competition, and it seems to be a school in your mouth Passerby A. Respect the other schools, hello!"

"Senior Kobayashi must have thought too much." Secretary Sakakihara put down the psp and unplugged the water bottle to drink some water, "I was just a passer-by, maybe they went home directly after this match. So I said—— Just be a passerby at the school of passerby A.”

Xiao Linyuan: "..."

Still wanting to say something, Sakakihara was interrupted by the sound of a message coming from the bag, and took out his mobile phone to look at it. It was a message from Keigo Atobe.

"How was the result of the first match?" - from Atobe

Sakakihara quickly pressed the button and replied.

"3:0 crushing, there is no meaning of fighting, there will be a second game later." ——from Sakaki

Atobe didn't reply to the text message again, and Sakakihara Division didn't care, he closed the phone and put it back again.When stuffing it back, he came across the canned milk in the bag. He would not drink milk during the game, because anything may happen during the game, and drinking water is the safest.

Sakakibara held back his hand reaching for the milk.

Iriezawa, who happened to be sitting next to Sakakihara and watched the whole process, said, "Pfft."

The game in field two finally came to an end. Heiwei Tielang pushed open the door of the lounge: "The game is over 3:2. Our next opponent is Yufu High School. It will start in 10 minutes."

Sakakihara put down the psp, stood up from the chair and moved his body: "Understood, call everyone to play ball and exercise."

Sakakihara, who rolled up the cuffs of his coat, took the ball and walked out first.

Others standing or sitting in the barrier-free area immediately stood up when they saw the figure of Sakakihara, and Sakakihara threw the ball to Yuta Todo, pointing to the vacant No. [-] court: "Play separately on both sides, pay attention Don't get hurt."

Volleyball is actually a sport that is prone to injuries, so every time before playing a game, Sakakihara will take off all the weights on his body, just to avoid unnecessary injuries.

All the players who wore trousers without knee pads did not go to save the ball during the pre-match practice. They just stood on the bottom line and practiced receiving and serving. Although there were only two balls, everyone did not feel idle. .

Sakakihara stood outside the field and looked at it with his arms folded, not showing any intention of warming up for the end.

"Ashi won't play again after a while?" Kobayashi put his coat on the rest chair and glanced at Sakakihara.

Sakakibara shook his head: "Go to the game as usual, and warm up after a while." Sakakihara was observing the cooperation between Kuro and the others.

The further back the block is, the more important it is. Although Bingdi's block has improved a lot, the gap between when Heiwei is in front of the net and not in front of the net is too obvious to him.Sakakibara hoped that Kurobi could make a big improvement in Ice Emperor's blocking in the later stage of the game. After Kobayashi joined in, Kuroio's offense was obviously much smoother.

It seems that Yoshida Teru's first-hand pass still needs more systematic practice. After such a short period of special training, the foundation is still too weak.Sakakihara looked at Kuro's spike and thought.

Standing on the sidelines and flexing his wrists and ankles, Sakakihara took off his jacket and went on stage.

After only playing a few balls, Sakakihara felt that his body was moving and retreated, standing next to the referee's seat and watching the front row players perform offensive practice.

Half an hour was over soon. After guessing the coins, Sakakihara and the captain of Yufu High School clapped their hands to signal everyone to go back to the lounge.

"Just now you watched the Yufu High School game, how did you feel?" asked Sakakihara, while re-tying his shoelaces.

Several sophomores looked at each other, and Nazen Kohei answered, "It feels about the same level as Kamata."

Sakakihara raised his eyebrows and looked over: "He Kamada? So confident?"

He took the tape from Xiao Linyuan's hand, and lowered his head to help Xiao Linyuan re-wrap the knuckles of his left hand: "Confidence is a good thing, but don't be overconfident when you play, and you must pay attention to it. The opponent chose the ball. We have an advantage in this game , whoever catches the ball first attacks first."

"Small minister, don't be so serious. Ice Emperor used to have no suspense when he was fighting Yufu High School." Todo Yuta was sitting on the ground and was being helped to press his legs by the name. No faces, still the same group as last year."

Xiao Linyuan was a little strange: "Aren't there any first-year students in the club?"

"Ah... I didn't see any new faces in the bench area, as if they didn't have any new students today."

Putting on his coat, Mr. Sakakihara, who filled out the standing form, turned around: "Since this is the case, I, Sato, and Irie-senpai will not be on the stage. Let's see how you played in the first game. If it is too difficult, it will be very ugly. Or According to the third game of the previous game, but Senior Kobayashi will have to work hard to make a setter, Senior Yoshida will play back, and Senior Zhongshan will come down and rest first."

Zhongshan Huan nodded to show that he knew, and Sakakihara pushed open the door of the lounge: "Since I have said that there is no suspense, the score of each game is too bad, I will also practice more."

When Tsukasa Sakakihara was sitting on the coaching bench, Shigeo Shohara had already disappeared, and looked silently at Akira Takishima and others who had been on the field.Akira Takishima also just remembered about the supervisor: "The supervisor said that we played so well, he is very relieved, let me tell the minister that he will leave first."

Sakakihara suddenly wanted to sigh.

Kobayashi Yuan smiled and patted Sakakibara on the shoulder.

"Okay, since you are the defeated player, let the other party sit in the position of the defeated player." Sakakihara looked at the six people who were already standing on the field opposite, "You cooperated very well in the last game, Senior Kobayashi's You all know the setter, it's very steady and in place, let go and play." Secretary Sakakihara stood up and put his hands together with theirs.

"come on."

Sakakihara was so relieved to let Kobayashi Yuan stay alone on the field because he had seen that the team of Ice Emperor next year was gradually getting better. To be honest, he didn't have the confidence to enter the national competition this year at the beginning.But seeing that everyone is working hard to improve themselves and making progress every day, everyone is practicing hard for the word "national".Sakakihara's confidence gradually built up. He never said his thoughts out loud, just because he was afraid of discouraging everyone.

Volleyball is not a one-man game.

No matter how strong he is, it's useless.

Therefore, apart from helping others improve, Sakakihara's daily job is to take turns to cooperate with everyone.He knows the most comfortable hitting point of everyone in the team, he knows the best hitting method of everyone in the team, and he understands everyone's heart of not admitting defeat in order to enter the country.

Everyone on the field played very seriously, happy when they scored, comforted by mistakes, sharp when attacking, and focused when receiving the ball. Tsukasa Sakakihara looked at everyone on the field seriously.

The first game is over, 25:16, Bingdi wins.

Sitting on the coach's bench, Sakakihara suddenly smiled, his eyes full of determination.

The ice emperor will definitely win the seat in the national competition.

Just as Sakakibara Division conceived, Ice Emperor fought like a broken bamboo all the way, and will soon face the first school in the top [-] of the Kanto Tournament in Group A.

Sakakihara looked at the information in his hand and took a few notes on the side, and then watched the school team members in a circle in front of him close the notebook.

First of all, what he has to worry about is the results of the few people in front of him.

"The mid-term test will start next week. This week and weekend we will face the top [-] of the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, the first of this qualifier. The training cannot be relaxed, but—several seniors, can you explain to me, what Is it called barely passing the passing line?"
