Haikyuu!!: The Disaster of Gamers

Score 16-16. Outai serves.

Shiroba Mei stood at the baseline. Standing over two meters tall, her serve point was extremely high.

Toss the ball, take a run-up, jump. Jump serve. The ball speed is average, but the landing point is tricky.

Sawamura Daichi stepped back, positioned himself in advance, and placed his hands together to support himself.

"One and a half passes in!"

Kageyama Tobio made a quick run and touched the ball with both hands. Hyuga Shoyo cut in from the middle with incredible speed.

Hirugami Yukirou was not drawn to Hinata; his gaze was fixed on Kageyama's movements.

Kageyama flicked the ball with his wrist, sending it to the right wing. Higashimine Asahi jumped.

Hakuba Mei and Hoshino Kōrai moved quickly and formed a double block.

Dongfeng saw two large hands covering his face from the air. He gritted his teeth and used his waist and abdomen to deliver a powerful smash.

The volleyball hit the white horse's arm and bounced to the ground.

17:16. Outai scores.

Dongfeng landed and patted his thigh. "Sorry, I didn't dodge."

Sawamura walked over: "Don't worry about it, we'll beat them with the next shot."

Outai halfway through.

Hoshino Hikaru wiped his sweat and looked at the Karasuno players on the other side of the net.

"This team is incredibly resilient," Xinghai said to Zhoushen.

Houshin nodded: "He played three sets with Otoko yesterday, and he can still maintain this momentum today. That number 10 middle blocker's running frequency hasn't dropped at all."

"The harder they fight, the more openings they reveal." Xinghai walked to the net. "Stop them."

Karasuno's halftime.

Tanaka Ryunosuke was panting heavily.

"That wall over there is really hard," Tanaka said.

Hotaru Tsukishima adjusted her glasses: "Omodai's net system has an extremely low margin for error. They don't rely on intuition, they rely on discipline. Trying to fool them will come at a much higher price."

Kageyama Tobio looked at his hands: "I need to tone down my passing motion a bit more."

Sidelines.

Lu Ren sat on the bench, resting his chin on his hand.

"Oudai's defense is a net," Lu Ren said to Wu Yangxi. "Wuye's current offense is based on single-point breakthroughs. Single-point attacks against the net are too inefficient."

"What do you mean?" Uyang asked.

"Wide up the attack area." Lu Ren drew lines on the tactics board with a pen. "Make Hyuga run, not to attract the blockers, but to tear apart their defense. As long as Oudai's blockers move their feet, there will be gaps in the net."

The game continues.

White Horse serves.

This time, they found Tanaka. Tanaka received the ball and made a perfect first pass.

Kageyama passes the ball. Hyuga runs from the right wing to the left wing, traversing most of the field.

The sun god moved with his steps, following the sun god.

Kageyama didn't pass the ball to Hyuga; instead, he passed it to the back row.

Daichi Sawamura jumped from the back row and smashed the ball.

Outai's blocker created a brief opening. The volleyball pierced the defense and scored.

17:17. Draw.

"Good shot!" cheered the Karasuno substitutes on the sidelines.

Lu Ren yawned: "There you go."

What followed was a tug-of-war.

The two sides traded blows, with the score fluctuating back and forth.

18: 18.

19: 19.

20: 20.

Outai's offensive round.

Xinghai Guanglai called for the ball on the left wing.

Suwa passes the ball.

He leaped from the sea of ​​stars. The height was astonishing.

Hotaru Tsukishima and Tobio Kageyama form a double block.

Xinghai saw Yuedao's arm from the air. Instead of attacking head-on, he twisted his wrist and knocked the arm out of bounds.

The volleyball grazed Tsukishima's fingertips and flew out of bounds.

21:20. Tai-Ou is in the lead.

Xinghai landed and glanced at Moon Island.

Tsukishima remained expressionless.

"That short guy is incredibly skilled." Uyoshi wrote Hoshino's name in her notebook.

Lu Ren nodded: "It can fly, it can fight, and it's still sharp-minded. It's much harder to deal with than Hyuga."

"Hyuga will cry if she hears this," Ukai said.

"He can't hear you," Lu Ren said, pointing to the field.

On the field, Hyuga was calling for the ball from Kageyama.

"Give me the next ball! I can jump higher!" Hinata shouted.

Kageyama glared at him: "Shut up, we'll see how it goes."

At 21:20, Outai serves.

Hoshino Kōrai stood in the service area.

Powerful jump serve.

"Great pass!"

Kageyama's positioning.

He saw through Kageyama's passing intention. Middle!

The ball has been passed to us.

Hinata saw two large mountains ahead from the air.

He did not back down, and swung his arm towards the net.

boom!

The volleyball hit the palm of the God of Day and was blocked.

In Karasuno's half, Nishitani made a diving save and cushioned the ball.

"Again!" Sawamura shouted.

Kageyama passed the ball again.

This time, it was Tanaka, a left-wing figure, who was chosen.

Tanaka jumps.

Outai's net moved swiftly, with Xinghai and Zhoushen forming a double net.

The fighter is out of bounds!

21:21. Draw.

Tanaka landed, clenched his fist, and roared.

Outai halfway through.

Xinghai shook his arm.

"These guys are really troublesome," Xinghai said.

Looking at Tanaka on the other side of the net, Houshin said, "They have a strong desire to attack. They're not afraid of being blocked, and they'll still dare to hit the next ball."

"Then keep stopping them until they're dead." Shirama Yasuke walked over.

Neither side dared to slacken their efforts in the slightest.

There are no weak teams among those that make it into the national top eight.

Ogata was surprised by Karasuno's tenacity and aggressiveness.

Karasuno was also troubled by Ogaodai's absolute defense.

The volleyball hit the court in Karasuno.

22:22. Draw.

"Height is such a shameless weapon," Lu Ren grumbled from the sidelines.

"You have no right to say that." Wu Yangxi glanced at him. "You're a scoundrel too."

Lu Ren shrugged: "This is a tactic."

The match has entered a crucial final stage.

Every point is crucial.

23:22, Outai is in the lead.

"Beautiful!" The Karasuno bench erupted in cheers.

Hinata landed and jumped up excitedly.

The God of Daylight looked at Hinata, his brows furrowed slightly.

"This number 10 has a wider field of vision in the sky," the God of Day said to the Star Sea.

Xinghai nodded: "He not only relies on instinct, but also uses his brain to play."

At 24:23, Karasuno reached game point.

Tadashi Yamaguchi was substituted into the game and served.

Key points.

Yamaguchi takes a deep breath. He jumps and floats the ball.

The atmosphere in the venue reached its peak.

The cheers from the audience were deafening.

Lu Jianguo held up his camera and snapped photos.

"This match is so intense it's almost unbearable to watch," said Qingze Yazhi, patting her chest.

"This is what volleyball should be like," Lu Jianguo said.

On the field.

26: 24.

Outai won the first game.

The whistle blew.

The two sides exchanged venues.

The Karasuno players walked off the field, each one covered in sweat.

"Sorry, I didn't play the last ball well." Dong Fengxu said with his head down.

"It's not your fault, the other side's net was too tight." Daichi Sawamura patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Ren sat on the bench and handed Hinata a towel.

"How are you feeling?" Lu Ren asked.

Hinata wiped his sweat: "Their wall is very high and very hard. Every time I jump, it feels like there's no way forward."

"The road is made by trial and error." Lu Ren handed him the water bottle. "You guys played too conventionally in the first round. Outai likes conventional opponents because they are easier to predict."

Kageyama came over and drank some water.

"Then how should we fight?" Kageyama asked.

"Just randomly hitting it," Lu Ren said.

Wu Yangxi walked over, heard this, and glared at Lu Ren.

"Don't give me any bad advice," Wu Yang said.

"I didn't come up with any random ideas." Lu Ren took the tactics board. "Outai's blocking is based on logic and discipline. The best way to deal with logic is to be illogical."

Lu Ren pointed to the formation diagram on the tactics board.

"In the second set, Kageyama, don't worry about the logic of your passes. Just pass them however awkwardly you can. Hinata, when you're running, don't think about tactics, just run on instinct."

Hotaru Tsukishima sneered from the side: "Is this what you call giving up thinking?"

"This is called a system reset." Lu Ren looked at Tsukishima. "You continue to remain rational and act as a filter on the internet. Everyone else, go into mad dog mode."

Tanaka Ryunosuke's eyes lit up: "Mad Dog Mode? I love it!"

Daichi Sawamura rubbed his temples. This team is getting harder and harder to manage.

Outai halfway through.

Xinghai Guang came to drink water.

"We won the first game. We've basically figured out their attacking patterns," Xinghai said.

Hirugami Yukirou wiped his sweat with a towel: "We can't be careless. Karasuno is very adaptable. They'll definitely change their formation in the second game."

Supervisor Aaron Murphy stood to the side, arms crossed.

"Maintain discipline," Coach Murphy said. "No matter how our opponents change, our defensive system must remain intact. As long as our blocking doesn't falter, they won't be able to break through."

The second game begins.

Kageyama's positioning.

This time, Hinata's running route was completely unpredictable.

The God of Day was momentarily stunned, slowing his pace by half a beat.

Kageyama passes the ball.

The volleyball was passed extremely high, completely deviating from the usual fast-attack rhythm.

Swing your arm.

The volleyball hit the white horse's finger and flew out of bounds.

The fighter is out of bounds!

1:1. Draw.

The God of Daylight looked at Hinata.

"That last shot made no sense," the God of Day said to the Star Sea.

Xinghai nodded: "They've started acting recklessly."

On the sidelines, Lu Ren leaned back in his chair, watching the situation on the field.

"The game begins," Lu Ren said.

Tanaka stands in the service area.

Jump to the next position.

"Easy catch!"

Kageyama's positioning.

Karasuno launched a multi-pronged attack.

Hinata, Higashimine, and Sawamura were running at the same time.

The routes are all messed up.

As the God of Day stared at the disorganized group of people in front of the net, his pupils contracted and his steps faltered for a moment.

Who should we guard against?

Kageyama passes the ball.

The volleyball was passed to Tanaka in the back row.

Tanaka jumps from the back row and spikes the ball.

Outai's netting was a step too late.

The volleyball lands.

2:1. Karasuno takes the lead.

"Well done!" cheered the substitutes.

Tanaka landed and struck a bodybuilding pose.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber during the second half of the event at Outai Stadium.

"Don't let them disrupt your rhythm," Day God reminded his teammates.

The game continues.

Karasuno's illogical tactics created cracks in Ogaidai's seemingly impenetrable defense.

Outai's blocking players are used to anticipating attacks by observing the setter's movements and the attackers' positioning.

But now, Karasuno's positioning is completely unpredictable, and Kageyama's passes are full of deception.

The score went back and forth.

8: 8.

12: 12.

16: 16.

Xinghai Guanglai launched an attack from the left wing.

With his excellent hang time and technique, he frequently scored points by hitting the ball out of bounds.

On Karasuno's side, Hyuga and Tanaka used their stamina to score points, constantly attacking Oogawa's defense.

18:17, Outai is in the lead.

White Horse serves.

I'm looking for Nishitani.

Nishitani receives the ball and makes a perfect first pass.

Kageyama passes the ball.

Hyuga cuts in from the middle.

The God of Day blocks the net alone.

Hinata saw the arm of the God of Day in the air. Instead of hitting it hard, he gently lobbed the ball.

The volleyball flew over the head of the sun god and landed in the open space of Oogawa's half of the court.

18:18. Draw.

The God of Day descended to the ground and looked at the volleyball on the ground.

"A drop shot?" The God of Daylight was somewhat surprised.

This single-celled organism, whose mind is only focused on smashes, has actually learned to lob the ball.

Hyuga landed and grinned at the sun god.

On the sidelines, Lu Ren snapped his fingers.

"This kid learns pretty quickly," Lu Ren said.

Wu Yang looked intently at Lu Ren: "You taught him?"

"After seeing how many times I've done this, even a pig should have learned by now," Lu Ren said.

20: 20.

The competition has reached a fever pitch.

Both teams' players are rapidly losing energy.

Ogata was surprised by Karasuno's endurance.

Karasuno is also having a headache over Ogaodai's defensive resilience.

Neither side was willing to back down an inch.

At the net, Hinata and Hoshino's eyes met.

The duel between the two "little giants" continues.

Lu Ren picked up the kettle and took a sip of water.

He watched his teammates running on the field; the ice packs on his legs were no longer cold.

"Hang in there, everyone," Lu Ren said.

He tossed the tactical board aside. In this kind of game, a tactical board isn't needed.

All you need to do is smash the volleyball onto the opposite floor.

The whistle blew again.

The volleyball takes off.
