With the latest episode shown, the team that has defeated Tsubakihara in the first round has finally got the very last point from the overly powerful team, Inarizaki. Not many people would think the Karasuno, the team that hasn’t been to Nationals in a while, would make it this far.
With the final score being 32-30, Karasuno was able to take in this win after three whole games along with a very long 3rd game into the thirties. It’s been a while since they’ve played a game into the thirties as the last time this happened was during the Interhigh-Preliminaries with Aoba Johsai.
With some overview of the final play, the first few plays were very fast. As going fast means you can try and catch the other team off guard, this can also mean that going fast can cause much panic. In the mindset of the players, you can only think about getting the ball over and try to score quickly to get the ending already.
Even though it’s good, this can lead to more mistakes to happen. With a certain play, Shoyo Hinata, the main protagonist, has made a high enough pass for the team to relax a bit. This can help when your team is becoming too crazed and need to just take a bit to relax. That brief period helps out a lot as Koshi Sugawara, one of Hinata’s teammates, even says that is a very good tactic to use when your team is going all crazy.
Overall, the final push with Hinata and Kageyama, his setter on the team, blocked them went very well and it was such a great final push as well.
