volleyball!volleyball!

On the day of the Japan-U.S. competition, the weather was fine, and the recent period happened to be the hottest time in Tokyo. Yu Morikawa went for a lap on the track outside, and his T-shirt was immediately covered with sweat after returning.

It was still early at this time, and most of the contestants had just woken up. Morikawa Yu went back to take a shower, and after breakfast, he slowly found an open space to sit down, send a message to Gong Yoo, and suck the cat along the way.

Both Xiaohua Xiaomei and Xiaobai have grown into chubby big cats. When they saw Yu Morikawa in the camera, the cats waved their paws anxiously at him. During this time, Morikawa's parents were away on business trips. They all gathered at Marble's house, meowing together, so cute that Morikawa Youxin melted.

There are still a few hours before the game starts. From last night to this morning, the coach gave all the players a holiday, and everyone can move freely. Katana and Oshiro played games together. Morikawa Yu deliberately found an open space behind the training ground, which happened to be Sleep in.

Gong Yoo sent a message to congratulate him on being selected into the list of players, and also told him that Senior Bei had a good grade in the latest exam and should be able to enter a good university.

When Yuu Morikawa and Yu Gong sent messages, Yuu Morikawa's cell phone suddenly beeped continuously.

"Ayou~~~ I will watch your game today!" - from a certain sheep! !

Morikawa blinked, he was [-]% sure that he never told anyone in Bingdi this news.

Even Cilang, who usually sleeps, knows it, which means...everyone in Bingdi knows it!

He didn't want to recall the nightmare of the national contest at all.

"Atobe will go too!"

Morikawa Yuu: "He didn't say he would bring the whole tennis club..."

"Ayu, do you want everyone to come together? I'll tell Atobe!"

"...Don't!" But obviously, he underestimated the action power of his good partner Jirou. After sending this message, Morikawa Yu didn't receive any reply for 5 minutes.

The next message was from Atobe: "This afternoon?"

"Don't bring the whole tennis club to cheer me on!" Morikawa Yu complained, "After the spring high school, the seniors thought I would go back to Tokyo, and they all tortured me!"

"The ice emperor volleyball club really needs an excellent player to lead."

Morikawa Yuu: "..."

"The news of the game was told by your senior Bei. He cares about you very much."

Atobe didn't tell Morikawa Yu much, Kita had been communicating with him about Morikawa Yuu's status, he had just learned to serve, honed his blocking skills, almost failed the math test, and was kicked out of the classroom by the teacher because of cheating... the other party's text Even if Atobe didn't witness the picture with his own eyes, he could clearly feel the warmth conveyed in it.

Morikawa Yu also understood very well.

Senior Bei is the kind of person who cares about whether he has had a good breakfast and whether he has warmed up enough before training. Although he is very serious, he will still go through the exam papers with him...

Morikawa Yuu clutched the phone, showing a silly smile.

He really admired Senior Bei even more than yesterday!

Morikawa Yuu didn't notice that when he was giggling, Komori Moto and Sakuhay happened to pass by, Gumori stared blankly at Morikawa Yuu several times, then looked at Sakuzao: "Is Morikawa usually like this?"

"do not know."

"Aren't you in the same dormitory with him?"

"I don't know." Saku early glanced at Morikawa Yu, "I'm not interested in how a fool becomes more stupid."

Komori also shrugged. He had no choice but to understand why Xiaochen and Morikawa couldn't get along with each other. They obviously had a good understanding on the court.

However, Gu Moriyuan also has one thing for sure, Xiaochen still likes Morikawa very much, but his temper is too awkward, and he is unwilling to express his thoughts frankly.

……

Morikawa wandered around all morning, some time he ran to the grinding dormitory to play games together, some time he was dragged away by Hinata to practice ball, and occasionally he and Chi Wei complained about his Mutu senior.

In the afternoon, the US team finally came to the stadium.

In terms of volleyball, the United States has always been a traditional strong team. At the age of high school, the strength of the United States cannot be ignored. The main players participating in the Japan-US competition this time have even participated in the World Youth Championship. They are high school students, but Mutu and Kiryu are both professional players after graduation, and they are not afraid of the strength of the US team.

"Gwen Arthur, the main attacker of the US team, is 2 meters tall and good at violent smashes."

"Setter Trey is also a player who needs to be vigilant..."

They had watched the game video of some players of the US team long before the game. Morikawa Yu paid special attention to the passing style of the setter and the spiking route used by the attackers. This is his responsibility as a blocker.

However, to his surprise, the coach did not arrange for him to start this game.

The attacking players are Sakuhaya, Kiryu and Mutu, the setter is Fan Wangzhang, the secondary attackers are Kuro and Washio, and the free man Komori.

Although the Japan-US match was just a friendly match, it also attracted a large number of volleyball-loving spectators to buy tickets to watch. The moment they stepped into the stadium, the dense crowd of people in the auditorium shocked Yu Morikawa.

"Why are there so many people?"

More spectators than the National Competition!

"After all, it's a high-level high school volleyball event. It's normal for everyone to pay attention, right?" Gu Senyuan also glanced at the audience, and suddenly pushed Morikawa Yu, "Morikawa, look!"

Morikawa looked along his fingers, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Senior Bei!Senior Silver Island!Senior Gong Yoo!

And everyone from Marishi and Inarizaki, everyone cheered for him!

... As for a certain Mr. Atobe who was sitting with Senior Bei, he was selectively ignored by Yu Morikawa. He was very glad that the other party did not bring the whole tennis club to cheer this time, otherwise he would definitely be ashamed and thrown to the United States!

Morikawa melodiously put on a big smile, and waved vigorously at the auditorium behind him.

"Come on, Morikawa!!" "Morikawa, win glory for Inarizaki!"

"It's Morikawa, he's waving at us!"

After experiencing IH and Haruka, the name Morikawa Yu has already been established in the high school men's volleyball team. In the auditorium, there are not only spectators who support Inarizaki, but also fans of Morikawa Yu. After seeing him waving, the shouts became more enthusiastic.

"That's...a junior high school student?" Trey, the setter of the American team, looked surprised, "There is such a player in the Japanese team?"

"As soon as I dunk the ball, he will fall down immediately?" The main attacker Gwen looked relaxed, "I don't think such a player will be any threat."

"But he's popular, Gwen, and you should have seen a lot of people shouting his name."

"Maybe he's a player like Nick, with a pretty face, but he's really just a jerk I can knock down with one punch, oh poor Nick, he can't even make it to the U18s because there's nothing but a face can not do this."

Morikawa Yu couldn't understand what his opponent was saying, and he wasn't very interested in listening. As usual, after warming up, he sat in the rest area beside him to watch the dynamics of the game.

The US team grabbed the right to serve, and the server was No. 1 main attacker Gwen.

Yu Morikawa has read the opponent's Wikipedia. The opponent is a talented U18 player of the U.S. team and is considered to be one of the main players of the U.S. men's volleyball team in the future.

"No. 1 Gwen's serve, Gwen took off, and smashed it neatly. No player in the Japanese team can catch this ball!"

Morikawa Yuu's pupils shrank slightly.

At the moment of serving, Gwen turned into a violent weapon on the court. With a height of 2 meters and a strong figure, he has a very outstanding jumping ability. It is also very rare among players——

This ball is quite difficult to catch.

With this goal, Morikawa Yu's attention can no longer be distracted to other things. Apart from watching the game, he has been thinking about what he can do if he is on the court.

The second goal of the US team came suddenly.

For this ball, Gu Senyuan did not catch the ball with the overhand style he is good at. At the moment the ball arrived, he jumped to the ground, using his body strength to buffer the force of the ball, and passed the ball to the palm of Fanwang .

Saku had already received the pass from Fanwangzhang, but at the moment when the opponent blocked and rushed forward, he abruptly changed the direction of the smash. The US team was not prepared enough, and Saku had seized the opportunity and made a strong dunk. !

"Strike!" Morikawa Yu clenched his fists and roared softly.

Sakuza retreated back in silence.

On the volleyball court, Sakuzao was not an impulsive player. His smashes were indeed straightforward, but this was a decision he made after carefully analyzing the opponent's blocks.

He is very calm.

On the sidelines, Morikawa Yu could see clearly.

The feeling in the rest area is completely different from that on the field. Some details that cannot be seen in the game, such as the habit of the setter when passing the ball, the small movements of the players to cooperate with each other... can be seen more clearly on the field .

No. 1 Gwen of the US team is undoubtedly the most aggressive player in this team. Black tail and Washio have worked very hard to block the net, but it is still difficult to block the ball accurately. They can only rely on touch to create offense Opportunity.

"Muto Kotaro, super inside corner smash! Stopped by Joseph and George!"

"As of now, the score is 7 to 4, and the Japanese team is at a disadvantage!"

The blocks of the US team, Joseph and George, are both over 2 meters tall. They are similar to Gwen's style. They are also strong blocks, and they cooperate with each other quite tacitly. When they are at the net at the same time, they can always use those strengths. Full smash stop.

On the contrary, it was Sakuhaya's spin ball that made the US team a little embarrassed, because Sakuhaya's ball path itself was out of control, and the spin ball was also difficult to defend. Compared with the powerful smash, the US team was not good at such a ball.

"Gwen attacked in front of the net again! His spike broke through the block of the Japanese team!"

"No. 4 Yekas, a smash full of violent aesthetics!"

"Kuroo and Washio of the Japanese team blocked Yekas' spike! Kotaro Kitu, seized the opportunity and broke through the defense of George and Joseph!"

"But obviously, the current Japanese team needs a strong blocker to resist Gwen's attack!"

The photographer's lens turned to Yu Morikawa unconsciously.

But all he could see was the boy's black and white pupils looking intently at the field, and his fair skin was slightly reddened by the heat.

His expressions and actions only conveyed one emotion - wanting to play.

"This guy, I still can't help it." Gong Yoo spread his palm towards Yindao, Yindao gave Morikawa Yuu an angry look, and finally stuffed a note into Gong Yoo's palm unwillingly.

"Be patient, Morikawa." Yindao rubbed his hair, "It's like this for one or two, and only volleyball is on my mind."

"Coach Yunquetian should have considered Morikawa's physical strength." Gong Yu squinted his eyes, staring at the whirling on Morikawa Yufa's head, "If I were the coach, such a good player, I wouldn't have the heart to let it go. .”

"Ah Yu." Yin Dao looked at him.

"Ok?"

"Actually, you want to play more, don't you?" Yin Dao smiled at him.

Gong Yoo scratched his hair angrily: "So I have already told Senior Kita many times, let A Yin you be the captain or let Rintaro be the captain, or Morikawa is fine, no one stipulates that you must be in the third grade to be the captain." Can you be the captain?"

Yindao: "... In my case, Morikawa would cheat me out of all pocket money and take everyone to the street to perform. Rintaro sleeps in late every day, and the members can't train hard. As for Morikawa... if he is the captain , don’t even try to protect your pocket money, Ah Yu.”

Gong Yoo: "..."

Why do you suddenly think of the stalk of going on the street?

Sure enough, Ah Yin was also led by Morikawa.

While the two were chatting, the U.S. team scored several good goals one after another with Gwen's powerful offensive. The score on the field reached 20-15, with the visiting team at the front and the home team at the back.

"Morikawa." Hibari Tianbuki called him suddenly.

Morikawa raised his head.

"After watching for half the game, you must have understood the playing style of the American team, and I will replace you next." Skylark Tian patted him on the shoulder, "Go and complete your mission."

The whistle sounded in the field.

No. 10 Morikawa Yu came on the field and replaced No. 1 Black Tail Tetsuro.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh Ayu is on the stage!" "Come on, Morikawa!!!"

The moment Morikawa Yu entered the field, the entire stadium immediately burst into lively cheers.

"Oh, is that model on stage?" Gwen, No. 1 of the US team, said casually.

"What a thin guy, the Japanese team wants to use him to stop you, dear Gwen."

"Then let him stop and watch."

Even among the talented deputy attackers on the east and west coasts, there are only a handful of them who can stop the genius Gwen. He didn't take Morikawa Yu seriously at all.

Morikawa Yuu didn't care about his opponent's thoughts, he stood in his familiar position in front of the net again, and he felt an inexplicable sense of stability in his whole body.

To some extent, stability means that he is in excellent form today.

He rubbed his fingers lightly, and looked across the net with burning eyes.

The offense still starts from the US team. This time the server is the setter Trey. Unlike Gwen's aggressive serve, Trey's serve is not difficult to catch.

After Goosen caught the ball, Sakuzao launched an offensive and dunked it to the opposite side of the net.

The US team's block has long been waiting in front of the net.

"One touch!"

The ball is back in Gwen's hands again.

Yuu Morikawa stood calmly in front of the net, but kept his eyes on the ball.

Gwen jumped up suddenly, her body was fully charged at this moment, and then, she concentrated all her strength on her arms, and then swung fiercely——

He originally thought that this ball would fall heavily on the opponent's field like the past thousand times, and he only needed to quietly savor the opponent's desperation.

He didn't even see clearly how those hands dunked his ball.

Just for a moment, in the field of vision, those hands suddenly touched his ball, and then mercilessly smashed it back behind him.

"boom!--"

The sound of the ball bursting brought Gwen back to his senses in an instant. He looked forward in disbelief, only seeing a pair of smiling eyes.

"No. 10 Yuu Morikawa, he blocked the goal that Gwen must score. He deserves to be the number one blocker in high school, Yuu Morikawa!"

"Universal Super Demon King Sixteen-Finger Yu Morikawa!" Hinata's orange head was dangling behind, and Morikawa Yu wanted to protest. Isn't this color pollution?

And, stop giving him weird nicknames!

Now he is still a sixteen-fingered devil, what if he becomes a sixteen-headed devil in the future?

He would equate himself with a pig.

"Morikawa, come one more!" "Morikawa is awesome!"

Morikawa You smiled and high-fived his teammates on the court, and returned to his position.

Only one goal is enough, at least one or two more goals must be blocked to make the opponent realize that this is not a territory where the opponent can enter and exit arrogantly.

This is—his territory.
