Haikyuu : The Unstoppable Force

Chapter 314 : Nekoma Vs Karasuno (6)



In the ward of Miyagi Prefecture, a light flashed in the eyes of Ikkei Ukai, who saw this scene, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"The game between the setter and the blocker, the game between the attacker and the defender..."

"This is the eternal theme of volleyball!"

"Once you can gain the upper hand between the two, you can firmly grasp the rhythm of the game!"

"Grandpa Ukai, was that spike just now something special?"

A child next to him asked, a little puzzled:

"Even though that No. 7 brother has always been super powerful, I haven't seen you say that before?"

"Haha!"

Hearing the question, Ikkei Ukai chuckled and patted the child's head.

"If someone else had pulled off that move, I'd say it was something special!"

"But if it's him..."

"That's still relatively normal!"

"On the contrary, the ability to seize fleeting opportunities and make a decisive shot on the court..."

"Akira has both of those abilities!"

...

In Tokyo, the match had gradually reached an intense stalemate.

What Nekoma is best known for is their defense—prolonging rallies and maintaining control!

As long as they keep picking up the opponent's attacks—if they don't give up points—there will always be a chance to score!

However, Karasuno clearly understands that!

So every time they go on the attack, they go all out, trying their best not to give Nekoma a chance to dig the ball!

Because everyone knows—if you try to beat Nekoma at patience, you're playing right into their hands!

Using your weakness to challenge the opponent's strength—over time, there's no guarantee you'll win!

Therefore, what Karasuno pursues is a quick and decisive finish!

Bang!

Another powerful spike slammed into Nekoma's court!

Ryūnosuke Tanaka, who had successfully spiked the ball, landed on the court slightly out of breath.

After such a prolonged battle, everyone's stamina was visibly declining.

That's because against Nekoma, Karasuno must attack with full force every single time!

Naturally, that kind of intensity quickly drains energy!

And it was the same for the players of Nekoma.

If they want to score, they must dig up every single Karasuno attack with everything they've got!

Only if they can receive those attacks can they hope to score!

"Whew... Whew..."

Tetsurō Kuroo wiped the sweat slowly dripping from his forehead, glancing across the net with a touch of frustration.

Just now, his block had almost stopped Tanaka's spike—but in the final moment, he had come up short!

"From a reckless heavy hitter to a light and agile swordsman..."

"This guy's transformation is honestly pretty huge."

In the past, Tanaka would often just try to bulldoze his way through with brute force!

But with that last hit, he suddenly changed direction at the last second of the spike!

Even though it had become more flexible, it hadn't lost any of its power!

It still left the back-row defenders scrambling—spiking through for a point!

...

"It seems that between offense and defense, the team that's better at defense does have a slight advantage."

In the stands at Musashino Forest Gymnasium, the players from Komemedai were watching the match unfold.

"Yeah!"

Alan Murphy nodded in agreement.

"If both teams are evenly matched in strength, then in a match like this, the defensive team might actually have the edge!"

"But there's still a noticeable difference in strength between Karasuno and Nekoma!"

"Nekoma just can't completely stop Karasuno's ferocious offense!"

"So it seems..."

Hirugami, sitting to the side, spoke thoughtfully:

"In our match against Karasuno, would focusing on defense be our path to victory?"

"No, that's not it!"

At that moment, Kōrai Hoshiumi, who had been watching the court silently, suddenly spoke up:

"Karasuno isn't just a team that relies on offense!"

"Defensively, they're no pushovers either!"

"It's just..."

"The rest of Karasuno has always been overshadowed by their relentless offense!"

"However, if there's a team that mistakes Karasuno's defense as a weakness and targets it..."

"Then they'll definitely pay a very painful price!"
