"Right hand or left hand?!"
When Aran saw that Hank had already charged up to the net, his expression immediately began to change. In that instant, he truly had no idea which hand Hank would use to spike next. This was the first time they had ever encountered this kind of situation.
A player who could spike with both hands at the same level was also something they had never faced before. When it came to Hank, all they felt was shock. It had to be said that, in their minds, Hank already counted as an extremely powerful ace on the national stage.
If Aoba Johsai's overall strength were not inferior to Inarizaki's, Hank might have been able to create an even greater sense of pressure.
No one would likely doubt that.
Bang!
With a heavy, muffled impact, it seemed as though the ball was about to be smashed apart by Hank. The spike had already been extremely fast, but because it was a left-handed spike, it became even faster. In an instant, he poured every bit of power in his arm into the volleyball.
In just a brief moment, the ball landed on the service line. In the end, it even bounced directly up toward the ceiling of the court, and only after a long while did it finally drop back down from above.
"Just being able to spike with his left hand was already hard enough to deal with. I didn't expect him to be able to coordinate with their setter and switch back and forth between his left and right hands. That makes him even harder to predict. He really is troublesome."
"Even if Wakatoshi Ushijima were here, he might be stunned too."
After seeing Hank's spike just now, Atsumu's expression immediately changed. This was also his first time encountering a situation like this. His opponent could use both his left and right hands to spike in succession, and on top of that, his coordination with their setter was extremely high.
It was already enough that his spike power was so great, but with Toru Oikawa's help, even his movement speed had increased by quite a bit. It was clear that Hank was absolutely the core of Aoba Johsai.
Every player organized the offense around him.
"But how long can you keep being this strong? No matter how strong Hank is, he must have a weakness in the end."
"As long as we find it, all of Aoba Johsai will collapse."
It really was unbelievable.
Next, they would have to assign all three front-row players specifically to stop Hank's spikes. Before they truly grasped and became familiar with his spiking, they had no choice but to defend passively against Hank.
"So now you know fear. Since you didn't know how to respect your senior, I'll make you look even more pathetic soon."
The corners of Oikawa's mouth lifted slightly. As long as he could see Atsumu suffer a setback, he felt extremely happy. After all, before their two teams had even faced each other, Atsumu had already arrogantly looked down on them. Now that Inarizaki had been hit like this, it was only natural.
This was what they were thinking.
And it was exactly what was about to happen right now.
Aoba Johsai, the team that almost no one had thought highly of, was about to defeat Inarizaki, the team known as the strongest challenger. Although almost no one in the arena believed it right now, this was certain to become reality.
It was what would happen next.
