章 239: Game Against Konan High (X)

"Ishida, Tanaka, get ready! Move aside and give each other room to move! Koda, move a little to the back and wait until you're sure either Tanaka or Ishida receives the ball before moving! Remember, don't hesitate! If you see you can receive the ball, move immediately!" Riku instructed his teammates as the next play began.

Aizawa, who heard that, whistled lowly, impressed. "Now he's taking more initiative in defense too. Good job, Blondie."

"Why is he so tense, though?" Ono asked, frowning. "This is not his first time facing a player with a good serve. Hell, he didn't react like this when we played against each other, and while I know Lucas-san's jump serve is deadly, I still think you are more dangerous than him on the service line, Kobayashi-kun."
