Match[]
Set 1[]
Throughout the first set, Kunimi is seen getting many service aces, due to the fact that Yukigaoka's players are inexperienced and are unable to receive well. Eventually, Hinata gets the chance to spike, but is completely shut down in the process.
Set 2[]
Kindaichi is seen spiking a quick attack and Kitagawa's score is 21-7. The two guys keeping score comment on how Yukigaoka can't do anything, but one says that they're stilling scoring a few more points. However, the other guy reminds him that all of Yukigaoka's points are Kitagawa's mistakes.
Hinata tries spiking but is once again shut down. Kageyama sends one of his fast sets, which Kindaichi barely gets over the net. Kunimi serves and Kawashima attempts to receive but fails, causing the ball to go backwards. Kunimi comments on how he just got another ace, but Kageyama says the ball hasn't landed yet. Hinata attempts to receive, but he fails and runs into the wall. Kitagawa is now at match point. Hinata reminds Kawashima that the match hasn't ended. Hinata spikes again, and manages to spike off Kindaichi's hands. Kunimi goes to run after the ball, but does not try hard, assuming he won't make it in time. The ball lands and gives Yukigaoka a point. Kageyama then yells at Kunimi, telling him to not stop running until the game is over.
Izumi does an underhand serve that clips the net. Kindaichi barely receives and the ball goes to Yukigaoka's side. Izumi prepares to set but the ball glances off his hands. Kageyama assumes that no one will be there, but Hinata jumps to the right at the last second. This shocks Kageyama who attempts to block Hinata, but he is able to spike untouched, and Kunimi fails to receive. Hinata is happy until he realizes the ball was out and that the match ended.
