The trap with Fukurodani is focusing only on Bokuto. He's the show-stopper. Trying to grab the spotlight, and he deserves it. However, there are five other Owls on the court. Every single one belongs there.
Tsukishima of all people knows how dangerous the "ordinary" players can turn out to be. So he keeps an eye on the whole field. Calculating how to shut them down, one by one. Karasuno can't afford any lapses. (Even if he would rather watch Bokuto. Has it really only been a few months? Was it this magnetic before, seeing him fly?)
It's beginning to pay off. Tsukishima can read those crosses. Not from Akaashi's poker face, but Bokuto. He wants them so badly it's palpable. But the timing still isn't right. Tsukki registers it a second too late. Never quite ready for the reaction.
But he knows what it feels like. That want. He's talking closely with Kageyama right before they jog back out.
