Neito – the setter – also did something incredible by joining the front line, overwhelming Bato and Keihin's blocker line with him being another hitter in Tsukiji's synchronized attack.
However, what Tsunemori players were concerned more was the connection formed between Ishida and Neito, and how familiar it was for them to see it.
"Yuki, Riku, that should be your combo attack, right?" Kaede asked hesitantly.
"Yes, it definitely is. Ishida seems to take inspiration from our attack in the training camp, Riku." Yuki said solemnly.
