And judging from the motion of his takeoff, it almost looked as if Hank had already guessed what Atsumu was going to do next. Before the other side had even fully begun moving, Hank had already set up his defense.
That left many people extremely surprised. It could even be called shock.
Because from Hank's current performance, it seemed as if he could predict his opponent's movements ahead of time.
"Tch, was that just luck?"
Atsumu looked at Hank in front of him and could not help grumbling inwardly. In that instant just now, their entire team had clearly started moving, so why had Hank been able to completely read his rhythm and steps?
That scene truly made him feel as if Hank could see things ahead of time.
"He saw through the opponent's steps in advance, then made a perfectly predictive block?"
"He really is a genius."
After seeing Hank's performance on the court just now, Coach Irihata could not help standing up from the spectator seats. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He could hardly believe what he had just seen.
It was as if he could already foresee that Hank would definitely reach the level of the world's very best athletes.
To be honest, from what he had just seen, Hank had indeed used a strategy that seemed almost like foresight to perform that block.
Anyone who understood volleyball would recognize just how rare that was, and just how difficult it was to pull off.
"How did he read the opponent's movements and complete that block?"
When Iwaizumi saw that Hank had actually managed to stop Atsumu's attack, a trace of shock immediately flashed through his eyes.
Although they had known Hank for quite some time already, seeing him block that attack still made Iwaizumi feel shocked inside.
After all, witnessing it with his own eyes was simply too astonishing.
It was almost unimaginable.
"He can actually predict someone else's movements in advance and then make a block?"
"Why does that feel a little unrealistic?"
And this counted as predicting in advance. It was not a case where he waited until the opponent had already begun attacking before starting to block.
It was clear that Hank's blocking skill had improved tremendously, and he had even achieved a breakthrough.
Oikawa could tell that Hank's block just now seemed very similar to Tendō's blocking style from before.
Both involved preparing the block ahead of time and predicting the opposing attacker's movements in advance. It could be called a miraculous kind of blocking.
He had never expected Hank to actually be able to use it.
If Hank had only learned this after the match against Shiratorizawa, then there was no choice but to say that his talent was truly astonishing.
It was enough to leave people completely shocked.
One could even call it an absolutely terrifying level of talent.
