(Irihata): The words he always says before a match...
(Irihata): Coming from him, they could be a mere pleasantry or a threat,
コイツが言うと ただの冗談の様であるいは脅迫の様でもあって
(Irihata): but the rest of the team knows that this is the only time his words hold no double meaning, so
だが こればかりは何の裏もない言葉だと 皆知っているから

(Irihata): they will also give their all once again, and place their trust in him.
Oikawa: Here we go.

Notes:

[page 14]
Dump shot - The term used in Japanese is ツーアタック(two attack). I had to do a little digging to find the English equivalent. Anyway, it's when a setter will pretend that he's going to set the ball, but instead attacks with a spike or feint. It can only be done when the setter is in the vanguard.
