On the court, the intense match continues!
At this mont, Karasuno seems to have found a strategy to deal with Kamodai, targeting their serves consistently at Gao!
Even though Kamodai is experienced in adapting, Karasuno's targeted serves only need to succeed a few tis—and that's more than enough!
In a match like this, even the smallest mistake can have serious consequences.
And this isn't just a minor slip—it's a massive vulnerability in Gao's reception!
This gives Karasuno a lot of room to exploit!
With this tactic, the gap between Karasuno and Kamodai widens even faster!
"Right wing!"
On the court, Yukiro Higami seems to have picked up on Karasuno's hidden offensive focus on their #7 attack!
At his shout, Kamodai's three front-row players imdiately closed in on Akira!
Especially Gao, who moved to confront him head-on!
As long as Gao is in the front row, his height alone puts imnse pressure on the opposing side!
At that mont, Gao leapt into the air like a towering shadow looming over Akira!
This is one of the key reasons Coach Alan Murphy still trusts him to play!
No matter how glaring Gao's weaknesses may be, when he's at the net, he's the most formidable wall Kamodai has!
Against his height and reach, it's nearly impossible for an average attacker to break through and score!
But Akira is not your average attacker!
No matter how wide the height difference, his explosive jumping power can compensate for it!
And technically speaking, Akira and Gao aren't even on the sa playing field.
If Akira were a seasoned swordsman—refined through countless battles and already a master of his craft—
Then Gao is just a toddler swinging a massive axe!
In a direct clash, the swordsman could defeat his opponent hundreds of tis over before the child even finishes his first swing!
And right now, that's exactly what's happening on the court!
Facing Kamodai's formidable triple block, Akira twisted his wrist at the last second and unleashed a masterful spike!
The ball, spinning fiercely, curved toward the inside corner and slipped through the narrowest of gaps in Kamodai's tight formation!
Boom!!
In the back row, Ichiro Kambayashi, the libero, attempted to receive the ball—but the intense spin twisted his arm awkwardly on contact!
The ball veered off and flew well out of bounds!
Tweet!
The referee's whistle blew on the court!
Karasuno scores!!
Off-court, in the coaching box, Kamodai's head coach Alan Murphy, who had been watching the ga intently, let out a long sigh.
He'd already known Karasuno's offensive power was formidable…
Especially that No. 7—Akira—whose technique was absolutely brilliant!
Still, even though Alan Murphy had ntally prepared himself for this, seeing Kamodai's proud blocking formation get dismantled so easily by Akira left him stunned.
He had believed the iron wall defense he built for Kamodai was solid!
Even if it wasn't perfect, he hadn't thought it would be broken this easily!
But the reality in front of him was undeniable.
At this stage of the match, both sides are nearly drained of stamina!
Especially with a morning match still fresh in their bodies, neither team has fully recovered physically. What's happening on the court now is a pure test of endurance!
Whether it's the fiery Karasuno or the composed Kamodai, both teams are running on fus!
But conserving stamina ans slower attacks—and dragging things out might cost even more energy in the long run.
Finding that balance becos a key concern for every player on the court!
Still, despite their tactics and strategies, both sides continue to push their scores higher and higher—each point a hard-earned battle.
The end of this set is drawing near!
Boom!
A solid thud echoed from Karasuno's back row as Kōrai Hoshiumi, after scoring with a clean back-row attack, landed and quickly turned to glance at the scoreboard again.
Karasuno 22: Kamodai 18!
Though Kamodai had just taken a point back, the deficit remained wide!
Ti was running out for them.
If Karasuno wins this set, they'll take the match—ending Kamodai's run in the Spring High tournant right here in the quarterfinals!
Across the net, Shōyō Hinata, who had just missed a block, turned his head in stunned silence to look at the spot where the ball had landed.
Before the match began, he had been so excited.
Because this was the match that would pit him against Kōrai Hoshiumi—the player known as the Little Giant.
