บท 70: A Class of How to Receive the Ball by Kobayashi Yuki

*BAM!*

"Shit! Again?!"

"Ha! You suck, Koji! Do five more diving drills!"

"Shut up, Kaede!"

It was the day after the second round against Tokomiyama, and even though the excitement was still there, they regained their focus quickly, starting to train again to prepare for the next round. Just like usual, there was no one else other than the team members in the gym, making it somehow lonely for them to train. Akira and Megumi were also not there yet, so their training was a bit messy today.

"Oi, Kobayashi-kun," Koji called. "Do you have any tips for me to get better at receiving the ball?"

Yeah, out of everyone on the team, Koji was probably the weakest defender here. Hell, even Hirano who was in the middle blocker was better at receiving than him. Not by miles, of course, but the game-reading ability the blocker had was enough to keep him one spot above Koji in terms of defense.
