When he was a child, the male protagonist Hinata Xiangyang saw the volleyball game from the TV, and the heroic posture of a small man from Uno High School on the court was simply a "little giant", Xiangyang was very impressed by this, and began to be fascinated by volleyball, and always wanted to become a person like "little giant".
When the volleyball club was not enough in junior high school, it had to wait silently, and later, after finally having a new member, she participated in the first and last game, unfortunately dueling against the strongest team, and of course lost.
If you rely on your own words alone, you will never be able to see the scenery, and if you are not alone, you may be able to see it... In order to be able to play the "victory" game, Xiangyang strives to enter Uno High School, in order to realize the volleyball dream of becoming a "little giant"!
Seriously, for Furuchi Furukan, from this volleyball, and his setting and portrayal of the plot, sometimes have to admire his attitude towards life. If the meaning of telling the story itself lies in what can make the listener of the story feel something, then compared to "brotherhood is never extinguished", "xiaoqiang who can't die", "I will protect you", this kind of theme that the teenager has always advocated, small volleyball is undoubtedly a work that is closer to life and more able to enlighten people in details how to face life.
Small volleyball is very close to life, and you can find your own shadow in each of them.
The protagonist, Hyuga Xiangyang, has a seemingly anti-heavenly bounce and an absolutely tragic height, he needs to work harder than others to do what others can easily do, he practices his skills hard, cooperates with his teammates, has a strong competitive spirit but lacks confidence, except for the extreme enthusiasm for volleyball, he is ordinary and no different from the classmates around us. There are no aura or bloodline bonuses. The protagonist is still like this, not to mention the other characters.
Everyone has their own problems and obstacles, and everyone spends every effort to overcome and overcome them. Everyone believes that if you work hard, you will definitely gain something. Focused, hardworking, hot-blooded.
Probably this is the meaning of traditional sports.
Probably this is what youth should look like.
In small volleyball, everyone and every team has their own way of life and the belief of persistence. Shadow Mountain's dedication to the control of the second setter, Shirabu's willingness to become the help of "strong volleyball", Coach Shiratorizawa's belief in "simple is best", Otoma's emphasis on "connection", the ironworker's specialty in creating an "iron wall", Andjoji's insistence on "happy volleyball"... These teams, strong or weak, win or lose, have always adhered to their volleyball philosophy, even if they fail, they only admit that they are not as strong as others now, and then regroup and start again, rather than taking over the "universal values" peddled by the protagonist, and then saying "because your ideas are more correct than mine, I am willing to admit defeat."
If you haven't seen it, go and see it. Definitely lived up to expectations.
