Chirping!
They didn't have much time to adjust, and the game went on.
Next, everyone on Sarukawa Tech finally truly experienced the strong suppressive power from Akira.
In itself, they are a team that is not good at attacking.
In the past, the most common way for them to win was to constantly catch the ball, and then use their strong perseverance to wear down the opponent and find the opponent's flaws!
But this time, their once-invincible tactics had no place to go!
Their defense in front of Akira was simply not worth mentioning!
The solid and strong defensive system of the past was as fragile as a piece of tissue paper this time!
Not only could they not catch the ball, but their attack also had a hard time breaking through Karasuno's defense.
This also made it extremely difficult for the players of Sarukawa Tech to get every point.
Outside the venue, the narrators never stopped.
"Karasuno's No. 7 selection gesture is like a broken bamboo, and he once again scored with his powerful spike!"
"Now the score between the two sides is Karasuno 9:2 Sarukawa Tech!"
"Faced with such a severe disadvantage, Coach Shishio of Sarukawa Tech had to call the first timeout of the game."
"So what kind of approach will they take to deal with the attack from Karasuno's No. 7?"
While waiting, the two began to make small talk.
"Speaking of the two teams participating today, one of them is quite promising!"
"Oh?"
"Are you talking about Sarukawa Tech?"
"They are also regulars in the national competition in Ishikawa Prefecture!"
"Haha!"
"Although Sarukawa Tech is also very powerful, what I want to talk about today is their opponent - Karasuno!"
"Oh?"
"Karasuno?"
Hearing this, the other commentator showed some curiosity, and he began to flip through the materials in his hand.
At this moment, he understood the meaning of the colleague beside him.
Therefore, for the effect of the current program, he naturally had to cooperate.
"Karasuno... It's the representative team of Miyagi Prefecture this year..."
"Miyagi Prefecture??"
Speaking of this, his tone suddenly changed.
"This..."
"Haha!"
"Did you realize it too?"
The colleague next to him laughed and said,
"Miyagi Prefecture... Isn't that the area where Shiratorizawa is located?"
"Did you say..."
"This year Shiratorizawa didn't make it to the national competition??"
"That's right!"
"According to our information, this year's team called Karasuno defeated Shiratorizawa in the final of the Miyagi Prefecture qualifiers!"
"Moreover, they won this final with a 3-0 record!"
"This is also the second time they have stepped onto the stage of the national competition in five years!"
Another commentator said in shock:
"What??"
"3 to 0!!"
"I remember that last year's Spring High, when Shiratorizawa faced Inarizaki, they at least won a set!"
"This team called Karasuno was actually able to sweep Shiratorizawa!!"
"Could it be that their play style particularly restrains Shiratorizawa?"
"Whether or not they restrained Shiratorizawa, I believe that since they could win like this, they must have the strength to match!"
"I hope they can clash with other strong teams from across the country to create even more brilliant sparks!"
On the other side, his companion sighed:
"Unexpectedly, Ushijima, one of the Top three national aces this year, didn't enter the national competition?"
"That's such a shame!"
"We won't get to see his heavy cannon-type super spike!!"
"Haha!"
"That's right!"
...
Under the explanation of the two commentators, some of the live audience and people watching the broadcast, who didn't know much about Karasuno, also had their first impression of them.
After many years, the team that made a comeback and defeated Shiratorizawa to enter the national competition!
In the audience, people's discussions gradually began to rise.
"I said I didn't see Shiratorizawa at the opening ceremony! Turns out they didn't make it to the national competition this year!"
"Alas! Stop it! I hope this year's Karasuno can bring back a good result for our Miyagi Prefecture!"
"When Shiratorizawa came two years ago, their lowest result was a quarterfinal finish! Karasuno, who can defeat them, shouldn't be too bad!"
A worried young man said to his companions.
You could tell he cared a lot about the event.
"Haha! I remember your hometown is in Miyagi Prefecture, right? No wonder you're so nervous!"
The companion next to him covered his mouth and said with a smile:
"Yeah! Who knows if this kind of newcomer, coming to Nationals for the first time, might lose the game because of nerves!"
He patted the other man's shoulder in comfort.
"Hey! Don't be nervous! Look at their performance this time—it's not bad at all!"
"Think about it, most of the teams that come to Nationals for the first time are slow starters!"
"As long as they can get through the first two rounds, they can fully display their strength."
"Alas! You're still the best! You never worry about this every year!"
At that, the man next to him burst out laughing.
"After all, my favourite Itachiyama!"
"Looking across the country, I can't find a team that can beat them!"
"Indeed!"
The young man from Miyagi Prefecture beside him also agreed.
"Nowadays, everyone is proud just to win a single point against Itachiyama!"
"No team has shown the strength to beat them!"
...
The lively discussion wasn't limited to the audience—even people watching on TV were talking about Karasuno now.
"Alas!"
"Unexpectedly, they ended up being used as someone else's background!"
