After all, the match had already reached its final mont. Many mbers of the team had unconsciously shifted their focus onto Hank. Whether they could successfully take this set had already beco a dangerous question.
Now, they could only see how Hank perford next.
"Received!"
After Shiratorizawa successfully sent the ball over, everyone on the court imdiately grew excited. Almost everyone was staring at that ball, waiting to see where it would land. In the end, it dropped straight into the hands of Aoba Johsai's libero behind the play.
After he lifted the ball with a forearm pass, Toru Oikawa quickly rotated into position and tossed it toward the net.
At first glance, the toss seed to be aid at Hank's position, but it was still slightly farther to the left. It almost looked as though the ball was going to cross directly over the net. Because of that, many of the spectators, along with the Shiratorizawa players, believed Oikawa had made a mistake with his set.
That had caused the ball to arrive in a poor position.
For Shiratorizawa, this was absolutely a massive opportunity.
As long as they seized it, they could definitely end this match completely!
Thinking that, Satori Tendō and Tsutomu Goshiki beside him both began preparing to block. They had already gotten into position for the next block, and delighted expressions appeared on their faces. As long as they successfully blocked this ball, their attacking options afterward would beco far greater.
They might even be able to kill off this match completely right here.
"How could this happen!? Did Oikawa make a mistake!?"
Akira Kunimi and Yutaro Kindaichi, who were on the court, saw Oikawa send the ball to the left, and their expressions imdiately changed. This was definitely a bad result for the match from here on out.
Because this ball had basically beco a free ball handed to the other side.
And Wakatoshi Ushijima was in the front row.
Things looked bad.
Hank's shoes screeched against the floor.
Just as every gaze in the gym focused on that ball, Hank, who was on Aoba Johsai's right wing, began moving at full speed.
He did not follow the run-up position he usually used for a right-handed spike.
Instead, he began his approach according to a left-handed hitting position.
When they saw this, both Shiratorizawa's coach and Aoba Johsai's coach had looks of shock on their faces.
What exactly was he planning to do!?
Was he trying to change his spiking hand in the middle of the match!?
But how was that possible?
Changing one's hitting hand during a match was sothing players anywhere in the world could not do, let alone Hank in front of them.
Still, there was no denying that he had incredible nerve.
That was not his dominant hand!
Bang!
Under everyone's gaze, Hank, who had rushed in from the right wing, had already leapt high into the air. Then, he swung his left hand fiercely.
He blasted the ball above his head straight out.
Because the Left-Handed Spike he had previously gained allowed him to unleash almost 150% of his power, the force behind this hit had already surpassed Wakatoshi Ushijima's.
Without question, Hank using his left hand was an undisputed heavy hitter!
A terrifying, muffled impact echoed through the entire court.
And Shiratorizawa's libero, who had been defending in the back row the whole ti, stared in disbelief as he sent the ball flying out of bounds with his forearm pass.
