Right now, volleyball was not a one-man sport. If they truly wanted to defeat Inarizaki in front of them, they had to bring together Aoba Johsai's current team strength. They could not let go so easily.
After all, judging from players like Iwaizumi, they honestly could not be considered part of the top tier.
If they did not raise their synergy with Hank to the maximum next, there was almost no hope of using their strength to withstand Inarizaki.
Hank understood that clearly in his heart. That meant the only option now was to raise the synergy between him and Iwaizumi to the maximum level as well.
That way, not only would Iwaizumi's strength improve, Hank himself would also obtain an additional technique upgrade card.
For him, that would truly be a massive improvement.
"If I can get a technique upgrade card next, I have to improve my serve!"
"Only my serve can truly turn this situation around."
Hank's thoughts were very simple right now. If he obtained another technique upgrade card next, then the first thing he needed to improve was his serving ability.
That way, he could bypass the opponent's block and the back-row defense.
He could score directly.
The difficulty of scoring would drop by a lot.
But with the current situation, he still had to use this chance to raise the synergy between him and Iwaizumi as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, he might never have another chance to stand on the Spring High stage again.
...
After Inarizaki's entire team began fighting at full strength, Aoba Johsai's situation immediately became tense.
They relied too much on Hank. Because of that, as long as Inarizaki's whole team focused on Hank, they had basically sealed off Aoba Johsai's lifeline.
If nothing unexpected happened next, Inarizaki might seize the final victory.
"Damn it... those guys from Inarizaki are all locked onto Hank. They aren't leaving even the slightest opening. Hank is already trying so hard, but one pillar can't hold up the whole team by itself."
"If only we had two heavy hitters like they do..."
There was no surprise at all.
Faced with this outcome, they felt extremely helpless.
Many of them were furious inside, but unfortunately, almost no one could step forward and fight alongside Hank.
All they could do now was complain from below the court.
In the end, Aoba Johsai's foundation was still too shallow.
Although they could be considered a strong team within Miyagi Prefecture, if they were placed on the national stage, they might not amount to much at all.
They had only just entered a national tournament, yet they had immediately run into Inarizaki, a team with terrifying strength.
This could only be called extremely unlucky.
Soon, they would be eliminated by their opponent.
