Capítulo 82: Nitta & Ito in Action!

"Ogawa, fall back a little and always cover Kaede. Don't let him receive the end of their spike twice in a row." Akira instructed quickly. "Asahi, Hirano, work together to close down any path of their attack. You don't need to block them directly, just deflect it so the others can pick the ball up easily."

"Yes, Sir!"

Akira couldn't help but stare at his players worriedly. The moment he saw Nitta playing actively again, he knew he had to take the timeout to cut off their momentum. Fortunately, the tournament rule allowed each team to get two timeouts per set, so even though he had already asked one before when Yuki got hurt, he still had another one which he used right now.
