Encouraging

"Cool. Sharp corners."

The manager of the Japanese junior national team said with an amazed expression on his face. Coach Masahiko smiled broadly.

"Alright. Now let's show our team's true abilities to the opponent."

"Let's win the second set?"

Takao shouted encouragingly. He really believes in his teammates. Kirio returned to serve. He then threw the ball towards the center. The opponent's rear spike managed to receive the ball and then toss it. The opponent's setter performs a passing position. Cleon, who saw it, then he felt his body shaking. The opponent's setter made a good pass and the ball went to the end. The left speaker was waiting and jumped high. The ball hit hard.

"Boom."

Atsushi, Aron, and Kenta have failed to receive the ball. The whistle then sounded. Score for the opposing team. Members of the Japanese junior national team high-five each other.

"Shit. I should have taken it."

Kenta got angry and hit the wooden floor.

"Never mind. Calm down Kenta, "Kirio said to Kenta.

"But they managed to get a point."

Kenta then answered Kirio 's words.

"Now which will you choose? Lose this point or do we get the win? The game isn't over yet."

Howaitoiguru school team captain trying to advise Kenta. Kirio's words left Kenta speechless. The rest of his team also pondered. Only Kirio can calm Kenta 's heart. The match started again. Opponents' left spike serves. Not wanting to repeat the same mistake made Kenta try his best to receive the ball and give it to the setter. The ball was well received.

"Nice receiver ." Cleon said a line for Kenta to provide such a good pass. Cleon quickly looked around his friend.

"Maybe I'm not great at giving a pretty high five in various positions. Still, I won't give up as a setter."

Cleon high- five Aron. Indeed, he is a player who is not good at playing volleyball. Therefore, the opposing players did not pay attention to it. That means he's the most likely. Aron saw the ball heading towards him. He then looked at Cleon. While the setter only looks up with focus. Aron jumped high. The ball hit hard. The ball spiker tried to hold it in, but failed. The ball turns sharply to the left and falls down. " Pruit ." The whistle then sounded.

"Succeed."

Cleon said it with satisfaction.

"You really are great."

"Right. Just like a hero."

Atsushi and Revian hugged Aron. The captain approached Cleon and extended his hand.

"Good decision Cleon ." "Yeah. I just did what I could. At that time, I just thought that giving it to Aron was the best option. Even though Aron still can't hit the ball well."

"There's nothing wrong with trusting friends. Me, you, Aron, and the others. We've all been friends for two years. Forming a member that even all the students at school fear. After all, aren't we also only a few weeks into the game of voil? Aron still can't play properly. Me as captain also didn't play a good role. We lost to them in the first half. But I like playing volleyball. I'm also a little jealous of Takao, who really loves this game, to recommend us as part of a team that is the same as him. Now we just need to play seriously."

"Okay Kirio ." Takao's heart was beating fast. He felt the tension of the match from the stands. Coach Masahiko put on a serious face. He thought that the team would not develop if they always received help from Takao as their Libero. " Pruit ." The whistle sounded again. The opposing speaker will serve. All the members of the Howaitoiguru School team stared intently as if to prey on the opponent.

"Wow, that's really interesting. Looks like they're starting to show their players. Let's crush them until they can't stand it anymore."

The opposing team's captain gave the order.

"Well."

All members of the opposing team answered at the same time. Now it was Aron's turn to serve. Before he hit the ball, Aron remembered what coach Masahiko had said during practice at the beach.

"Aron. Why do you look the least confident of your friends?"

"That's because I'm bad at playing. When I serve, I always hit the net or go out of line. I can't even get the ball in."

"Serving, eh ?" After saying that trainer, Masahiko was silent for a moment. Aron looked at the coach and winked. Looks like the coach seems to be thinking about something.

"Aron. How do you feel when you serve?"

Masahiko 's mouth.

"When I was about to hit the ball it was easy, but not in the direction I wanted. The ball just turned in the opposite direction."

"So that's it. Try it now you serve."

"Good coach."

As ordered by the coach. Aron served. He jumped high and hit the ball. Coach Masahiko was amazed. Though the blow was not hard, it could turn sharply. If only it was honed more with heavy training, it would definitely produce a good service.

"That's enough, Aron. Now I know what you have to do. Watch me serve!"

Coach Masahiko will set an example for Aron. With curiosity, Aron looked at the coach. Her heart was beating fast as if she was about to see an amazing show. Coach Masahiko jumped high. Before hitting the ball, Masahiko 's coach looked at Aron who was now in the opponent's territory. Then he hit the ball hard. Instantly the ball flew towards Aron.

"This I can catch."

With full confidence and feel sure Aron can catch him.

"Boom."

Unfortunately the ball dived sharply to the right side when it was about to be caught and finally fell down.

"Impossible."

Aron said with a look of disbelief. The ball could make a sharp turn when it was right in front of his eyes and was sure he could pick it up.

"All this time the one you served was called JumpFloat service."

"What is jump ?coach serve float ?"

Aron asked coach Masahiko . So far, he didn't know the name. Words that are hard to even pronounce. Coach Masahiko smiled broadly.

" JumpFloat itself is a techniqueserve by floating the ball, so that there is no rotation of the ball which makes the direction of the ball unpredictable."

He explains the meaning of Jump service floats . Even so Aron tilted his head in not understanding.

be in a hurry to serve. You take a position about three steps from the back line. Look at the ball you 're holding. In this case, it's better to do it while looking down. right foot. Throw the ball up slightly forward. About half a meter. This shot during serve uses the base of the hand, not the palm. In this movement lean your body slightly forward. Push the ball using power from the elbow by straightening the elbow. This is to the refusal of the ball so that it becomes calm and does not spin. Then see the results of JumpFloat you do. If you fail, you can try again. Because everything perfect takes hard work. So get excited!"
