The Birth of A Volleyball Legend-Chapter 482: Shirayuki High’s Counterattack!

Of course, Shun Matsuena didn't know that all the Tsunemori players had their attention on him right now. If he knew about it, he would be flattered, thinking that they thought too highly of him. This was just his personality, always humble and let his opponent underestimate him. He was the true assassin in the team, silently contributing while also making his opponent underestimate him to reap benefits from them.

However, right now, he couldn't care less about his image. No, even though he still looked calm and composed, his mouth hadn't stopped running loose for the last few minutes. He kept coming to his teammates, whispering over something as if he was relaying information to them.

"Tsubasa-kun, Yuya-kun and Takumi-kun are getting locked down by Ezaki, and they start losing their patience. I don't need to tell you what will happen to an attacker who loses his calmness, right?'

"Takumi-kun, you are the team's captain, be more decisive. If Yuya-kun cannot break through this shackle, you need to start taking responsibility, too. Come on, show some personality here! We are the senior members of the team, so don't do anything you are going to regret!"

"Kuniyoshi, I know that stability is your principle, but right now, we need you to be more aggressive. Join the front line and help the others share the burden on the front line. I will also do the same if I have to."

"Ryusei-kun, you don't need to care about our face! We senior members care more about winning than anything else! If you want the others to cooperate with you, yell at us! Shout! Don't be so quiet! We don't have the ability to read your mind here, so you need to speak out!"

At the time like this, everyone suddenly remembered why Shun Matsuena was the biggest candidate to be the team's captain before he stepped down and let Takumi held that role. He was always the calmest player on the team no matter how much the others suffered, always watching silently on the back to protect the team from its collapse. It was a pity that he didn't want to be the captain here, feeling like his quiet character was not suitable for this role.

Of course, it wasn't easy to wake up the team's consciousness just with his words. However, at least, now they were moved by his attitude, and Shun Matsuena was satisfied with this result. Now, the only thing needed to completely awaken the team was to have a big result from a blood-boiling play, and he was ready to stage such a play for the team.

"Everyone, get ready! When you see the opponent's attack that you think you cannot handle, lead it to me! Don't worry, I will be able to stop it." Said the defensive specialist. The boasting tone was a bit out of character for him, but everyone knew that this was his effort to raise the team's morale.

"Hey, hey! Is it okay to dump all responsibilities to Shun here?!" This time, Takumi also joined his friend's side. "Just as Shun said, we need to show more personalities here! Remember, we are not just a no-name team! We are Shirayuki High! Even if we lose, we have to fight until the end! Come on!"

Of course, the others were still hesitant here. The blow they suffered from the opponent's attack was too much, and right now, their spirit was at its lowest. However, those two players were the highest authorities in the team, so they all needed to give those two faces here.

In the next few plays, not just Shun and Takumi, but even Kuniyoshi also showed unwavering determination to defend their area. Those three really showed their love for the team as the most senior members here, not willing to lose for nothing. Even though the other players were feeling down, they dug deep and showed everyone that they were still in this fight. With every ball that came their way, they defended fiercely, diving and leaping to keep the rally going.

"Come on, everyone! We still can do this!"

"Yuya, stop sulking and start moving your ass! No one cares about you now!"

"Tsubasa, stop acting almighty and start helping the others, too! You are not the only one who can set up an attack!"

"Hey, Ryusei! This is the third time the opponents have fooled you! Show some dignity here!"

Even though the situation looked bad for Shirayuki High, the constant shots and encouragement thrown by their senior members made it look like they still had a chance. True enough, even though the score was overtaken, the fight they put still managed to frustrate Shimo High to death.

"Fuck it! Why would they start playing so hard when they are going to lose?! Just stay down and let us beat you!" Senki, the hot-blooded player he was, growled in annoyance.

"Oh, don't be impatient like that, Senki!" Ezaki comforted him. "It doesn't matter how resilient they are, but as long as they don't take their chance to attack us, their effort will be no use."

Yeah, in the last couple of plays, Shirayuki High didn't take their chance to attack seriously, deciding to consolidate their formation first. This was the best approach for a team in a shamble, but in the eyes of Shimo High players, it was just a futile effort that only prolonged their lives, not save them from this disaster game. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Little did they know, though, that the three senior members of their opponent's side had been eyeing them secretly. When they were sure that the opponent had already lowered their guard, they were ready to strike back.

"Don't forget the arrangement, Takumi! Your task is to attract, okay?" Shun whispered lowly.

"Don't worry, I am the captain and the ace here! I know one or two things about attracting the opponent's attention!" Takumi patted his chest proudly.

"Okay, and Kuniyoshi, you know your task, right?" Shun turned his attention to the third member of their generation.

"Um!"

"Good! Don't forget to watch each other! Let this be our turning point to overtake this game!"

"Hell, yeah!"

In the next turn, the right to serve was still on Shimo High's side, and as the team's defensive specialist, Wakamatsu just sent an ordinary ball straight to Shirayuki's back line. He wanted to try aiming it close to the sideline just like how Kuniyoshi did before, but he didn't have the accuracy that was needed to go for that spot. In the end, it was Shun who received the ball, sending it to the middle.

"Oh! Nice receive, Shun!"

However, right before Tsubasa, the team's main setter was about to take the ball, someone suddenly flashed in front of him. Tsubasa was taken aback by this sudden movement, and a moment later, he was more surprised when he saw Kuniyoshi, the quiet senpai, taking over the ball.

"Ha! A good pass, Kuniyoshi!" Takumi grinned, watching the ball fly in front of him.

In fact, not only did Kuniyoshi's stunts surprise his teammates, but also his opponent. Even though Ezaki managed to snap it out quickly, in the end, he was in the middle spot, far from the wing where Takumi was flying. Even though he tried to react, he was just one step too late, as the opponent's captain had already swung his arm, hitting the ball violently. As a result…

BAM!
