C101 Volume 26 Xia Zhi

22!

Xia Zhi pursed her lips. Her face was covered in sweat, but her lips were dry from excitement.

She looked at the captain standing in front of her. Although Zhou Shuyao's chest was also heaving up and down, and his clothes were drenched in sweat, she was still calm and quiet.

It was so quiet that it seemed to be out of tune with the explosive atmosphere of the entire Glory and Dream Stadium.

Xia Zhi remembered that his boyfriend Lin Yichao had once talked to her about Zhou Shuyao. . .

In Lin Yichao's opinion, Zhou Shuyao, as an experienced second-rate and excellent captain, had given Xia Zhi and the other young assaulters too much support and help.

The most outstanding aspect was precisely the aspect that Xia Zhi and the other young assaulters were most accustomed to ignoring. It was Zhou Shuyao's pass style.

"If it were other teams with rich experience in the second pass, especially the oldest second pass in the entire team, It often requires young players to adapt to her pass. No matter how high, short, fast, or slow the second pass was, young players had to work hard to keep up with the rhythm and characteristics of the second pass. However, Shuyao was not like that! She had been observing and adapting to the rhythm of young assaulters like you. High, short, fast, slow. . . She was always able to send out the most comfortable and precise ball according to each and every one of your technical specialties! That's right. She is the captain, but she is more like a sister who knows her heart. Like a patient senior, she will lead you forward. "

Xia Zhi still remembered what Lin Yichao had said. He sighed and added, "But. . . This is also Zhou Shuyao's weakness. . . She is too mature. She's too worried about everyone's feelings! Instead, it's the young Second Inheritor Gu Weiyang who has formed a sharp contrast with Zhou Shuyao. Gu Weiyang would organize the attack according to her own thoughts. The attackers needed to be serious, always focusing their attention to surround her. The more critical and intense the match was, the more intense it was. Gu Weiyang was even more daring to pass on some unexpected, even unexpected balls to her teammates. This was the reason why she seemed to be so impatient sometimes. "

Perhaps, this is the reason why Sister Wei must arrange for Sister Shuyao to play the main game in this match! Xia Zhi suddenly understood.

For the two teams, this match between the female players of China and Japan. . . It was a crucial game that could only be won and not lost. Although the Japanese female volleyball had their strengths and strengths, the China female volleyball was still better than this old opponent in terms of overall strength. Therefore, in this match. . . The China female lead did not need to rack her brains to compete with her opponent in terms of tactics and strength. The China female lead needed to maintain a stable overall situation. They needed to fully utilize their skills and abilities.

They needed a stable 'brain', and this' brain "was Zhou Shuyao.

" What type of second transmissions do you prefer? "

Xia Zhi would never forget that Lin Yichao had asked her that at that time.

"One is to make you feel comfortable, so you don't have to think too much about anything. As long as you want to attack, you just need to jump and slam the ball. The second one is. . . You have to watch at all times and see what kind of tactical gestures she makes to you that you can't think of. There will always be some fantastic second transmissions. You. . . Who do you prefer to fight with? "

Looking at Xia Zhi thinking in silence, Lin Yichao smiled. He said: "Zhou Shuyao and Gu Weiyang, these two types of second-rate styles and characteristics, have no distinction between superior and inferior. This is just the two of them choosing different directions. Especially when the competition is at a stalemate. When the competition reaches its climax, this choice is exceptionally clear. The experience and steadiness that he had accumulated over the years. . . This would allow him to be more stable than anything else. What about that little rabbit? She would choose to use her brain to think of all the ways she could think of. Whether it was conventional or unconventional, She would use these methods to withstand the pressure and defeat the difficulties. However, no matter what, After all, the Second Magazine was not an assaulter. As the core of the team, he was the main attacker. No matter which style the second pass was in, you had to be able to adapt well. Especially when it came to coordinating with the Second Magazine like Shuyao. You have to rush up at the critical moment and take the initiative to help the team get the key points. Xia Zhi, You are the one who clears the score, the one who needs you in the second pass. . . Everyone needs you! "

. . .

Realizing that Xia Zhi was looking at him thoughtfully, Zhou Shuyao smiled.

"Little Superman, what do you think about the next ball?" Zhou Shuyao asked.

"Sis!" Xia Zhi said, "Give me the ball!"

Zhou Shuyao's eyes were filled with joy. She nodded.

The Japanese female volleyball was sent over. It was almost the same amount of strength and angle as before.

This ball was sent too steadily!

The match was getting more and more intense, and the key score was. . . Sometimes, the more the players thought, the more "stable" they would be first. However, it was actually even more difficult to truly achieve "stability. "

Little potato Li Mengxi's passing was also very stable. It was so stable that even if the China female volleyball did not organize the fast ball in front of the net this time, it seemed to be somewhat sorry for such a good pass.

Xia Zhi stared intently at Zhou Shuyao. And from the afterglow of his eyes, he had already seen Xiao Xiao's figure, which was in a state of alert.

The serve of the Japanese female volleyball, the first pass of the China female volleyball, and the previous one were almost identical. But at this moment, Xia Zhi had become the second offensive point of the China female volleyball. Xiao Xiao had instead become the first offensive point.

It all depended on what Zhou Shuyao chose.

The Japanese female platoon members also appeared.

Xia Zhi felt that they were moving in his direction.

What!? Xia Zhi was stunned. He thought, could it be that the Japanese female volleyball still chose to give up blocking the first point of the fast ball and still insist on blocking the second point of my attack?

Xia Zhi's keen judgment might have been that they had successfully defended Xiao Xiao's attack with the ball just now. This made the Japanese female volleyball defender feel that it was impossible for the China female volleyball second time to pass the ball to the last attacker who had failed in the attack.

Or rather, they began to deliberately relax their attention on Xiao Xiao's defense.

Zhou Shuyao looked at Xia Zhi with a profound gaze, but the meaning behind it became very complicated.

Xia Zhi, is this ball for you?

Zhou Shuyao asked with his eyes.

After all, Xia Zhi had firmly asked her for the ball just now.

Xia Zhi, I want to give this ball to Xiao Xiao!

Zhou Shuyao added with his eyes.

Xia Zhi nodded slightly.

Sister Shuyao, the situation on the spot is ever-changing. I support all your decisions!

Xia Zhi replied so silently in his expression.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Shuyao's back transmission instantly attacked.

The ball appeared right in front of Xiao Xiao. She did not disappoint the crowd as she used a nearly perfect back transfer.

Xia Zhi, who was acting as an offensive cover, saw the Japanese female volleyball defender's vexed gaze through the net.

You guessed wrong! Xia Zhi thought, you guys don't understand how deep the mutual trust and tacit understanding between our teammates is!

23 to 22, although the China female volleyball's lead was only 1 point for the time being. But at this time, a 1 point advantage was already very precious.

Xia Zhi approached Zhou Shuyao and Xiao Xiao.

"Give me another ball!" Xia Zhi said.

"Another ball!" Xiao Xiao's pink face had turned red from excitement.

Clearly, this smooth back attack score had caused Xiao Xiao to 'burn' again.

"Little Superman," Zhou Shuyao shook his head and said to Xia Zhi in a calm tone, "I'll give you my first choice for the next rebound. "

Xia Zhi understood what Zhou Shuyao was thinking.

Real and fake, real and fake.

Especially after the wheel, China's female volleyball would form a three-point offensive situation with Xiong Xin, Xia Zhi, and Xiao Xiao in the front row. China's female volleyball would have more opportunities to coordinate with each other. The Japanese female volleyball's defensive center of gravity was likely to shift to the China female volleyball's tactical fast ball.

Hence, a simple flank attack from Xia Zhi would easily become a breakthrough point for the China female volleyball team.

After the attacking team members discussed their strategy, Zhou Shuyao walked towards the serve area without worry. Xia Zhi was fully focused on standing in front of the net.

The first thing Xia Zhi needed to do was to prepare to block the net this time.

As Zhou Shuyao's knee joint was injured, he tried his best to avoid throwing, so Zhou Shuyao's serve depended on his skill.

However, no matter how well he controlled the point and the hand shape of the serve, Zhou Shuyao's serve on the spot did not give much pressure to the Japanese female volleyball players who were good at first serve and defense.

Xia Zhi watched as the Japanese female volleyball Freeman Iroha Iroha steadily picked up the pass. Then, the second pass Yoshiko Sato and Raiko Sakaki Nakayama cooperated with a close-range fast ball.

All of this was in the preparation of Xia Zhi and Xiao Xiao.

The net she and Xiao Xiao used to block them was in place.

"Pa!"

The volleyball was blocked and returned to the Japanese female volleyball world.

However, Xia Zhi did not turn around to celebrate with Xiao Xiao. All the China female volleyball players knew that the Japanese female volleyball was not an opponent that could be 'killed' so easily!

At this moment, a figure leaped out from the back row of the Japanese female platoon.

It was the Japanese female platoon. She had a petite figure, but she was exceptionally nimble.

Perhaps it was because the Japanese female volleyball attackers were shorter than their opponents and were easily blocked by their opponents, the Japanese female volleyball players, be it the freemen or the other defenders, all paid special attention to defending and protecting the ball.

However, at this moment, this kind of attention became a "thunderclap" that exploded above the entire Japanese female racer's head.

Just as Aroma Iroha rushed over to defend the ball, the Japanese female platoon's main attacker, Shikugawa Youxi, also tried his best to stretch out his arm to prepare for defense. However, in their panic, the two defenders who only saw the volleyball drop forgot to shout at their teammates, "Let me do it!"

"Pa!" Drawing Incense, who was on top of the volleyball, used all her strength to cushion the volleyball.

"Dong!" Ishikawa fell down heavily, his entire body pressed down on Scented Fragrance's arm.

This scene left Xia Zhi and Xiao Xiao dumbfounded.

"Head Propping Ball!"

Wei Xindi's shout by the side of the field woke Xia Zhi up.

At this time, Xia Zhi could no longer tolerate what was going on in his mind. The sports nerves created from years of high-quality professional training almost made Xia Zhi jump up on reflex.

The volleyball that was covered by incense on the well was indeed higher than the tennis entrance and flew to the side of the China female volleyball.

Xia Zhi no longer needed to use a lot of force to slam the ball. With a turn of her wrist, the volleyball easily changed direction and landed on the side of the Japanese female volleyball. It fell on the floor and landed in front of Sayaka Ishikawa and Ishikawa Youxi.

24 to 22!

"Wow. . . "

Almost at the same time the referee blew the whistle, Xia Zhi could clearly hear the weeping sound coming from the incense on the well.

Ishikawa Yuki knelt in front of Ishikawa while Ishikawa Yuki painfully held onto his right shoulder and lay on the floor, allowing her tears to flow out.

Looking at this scene, she stood on the internet, watching this scene. Xia Zhi, who was standing on the other side, was stunned.

Was she injured? Where was she injured? Did she also hurt her right shoulder? As Xia Zhi thought about it, he suddenly felt a certain nerve on his right shoulder twitch.

It must be very painful, very painful. Xia Zhi thought. In a trance, she seemed to see the person lying on the floor, from drawing incense on the well to herself.

In last year's female volleyball World Cup, it was precisely because of a desperate defense that her right shoulder ligament broke.

Xia Zhi subconsciously reached out his hand and tightly gripped his right shoulder. Through the thin but elastic match attire and even through the muscle sticking on his shoulder, Xia Zhi's fingertip still touched the scar on her shoulder. - The mark left behind by the ligament surgery immediately became real again.

It hurt! It really hurt! It was heartbreaking. . .

"Summer's Day!"

Xia Zhi turned his head and looked at Wei Xindi in confusion. He saw Wei Xindi wave at her. It turned out that during the time when the Japanese girls queued up to treat Jing Gua's injuries and first aid treatment, the female players in China hurriedly ran back to the side of the field to drink water and listen to Wei Xindi arrange a ball. Only Xia Zhi was still standing in front of the net, staring blankly at the opposite side.

Xia Zhi ran over.

"What's wrong? Is there an uncomfortable reaction on your shoulder?" Wei Xindi asked Xia Zhi seriously and concernedly. Wei Xindi had seen all of Xia Zhi's actions and expression just now.

Xia Zhi tried his best to smile and shake his head.

"It's fine, Sis. . . " Xia Zhi said, "I just. . . Thought about my injury last year. "

Xia Zhi could tell that Wei Xindi heaved a long sigh of relief.

" We are the first to get the point, but everyone still needs to concentrate and play the next ball. " Wei Xindi said.

Although she was talking to all the players on the court, her gaze naturally turned towards Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi understood that she had to concentrate and play the next ball well!

"The injuries of the Japanese female volleyball freemen might not be light. If that was the case, their first pass system would be affected. Next, our serve is about to charge. Little rabbit, change to a book and send a ball. Go all out and throw a ball, alright?" Wei Xindi said.

"Okay!" Gu Weiyang replied loudly.

"Little Superman, Brother Elegant. . . " Wei Xindi looked at Xia Zhi and Xiao Xiao. "The two of you pay attention to the ball. Also, be more resolute in your counterattack. "

"Understood!" Xia Zhi and Xiao Xiao replied in unison.

At this moment, the Japanese female volleyball team members had already carried the incense on the well out of the court. The substitute main attacker, Nagase Komi, also put on a training vest. He held up his substitution card and walked to the side of the court.

According to the rules, in the following matches, the Japanese female volleyball could only allow the "guest" of the Japanese female volleyball to be free. And the opponent's only free agent had suddenly been injured and left the stage. To the China female platoon, this was no different from a great opportunity falling from the sky!

The China female volleyball also requested for a substitution. Gu Weiyang, who was good at throwing, made her debut and walked to the serve area.

The entire stadium fell silent.

The Japanese fans all held their breaths and prayed that the China female volleyball would not directly score this time. However, the China fans were all looking forward to the China female volleyball winning this point and winning the first round!

Gu Weiyang threw the ball.

The ball flew at an extremely fast speed towards the back of the Japanese female volleyball court.

The substitutes on stage didn't seem to react at all.

The whistle rang out and the flag of the line was waved out of the field.

Gu Weiyang gritted her teeth in frustration and waved her hand fiercely.

24-23. . . The match was not over.

"It doesn't matter!" Wei Xindi shouted at the side of the field, "What a good attack!"

"Do your best!" Xia Zhi shouted loudly in front of the net in response to Wei Xindi.

Indeed, even if this ball was wrong, China's female volleyball was still one point ahead and still had the advantage of being the first to attack.

The initiative to win the first round was still in the hands of the China female volleyball.

After the Japanese female volleyball rotated, the substitute free man, Nagase Komi, returned to the field, and the line-up returned to its original state.

Gu Heyou's serve wasn't conservative, but there were many attacking points that the China female volleyball could choose from for the three-point attack.

"Little Superman!" Gu Wei Yang's short and clean pass was in front of Xia Zhi.

"Pa!"

Xia Zhi swung his arm and threw a ball.

The volleyball passed the Japanese female volleyball defender's arm and landed on the floor.

"Du!" The referee's whistle rang.

Xia Zhi shook his head and extended his hand towards his teammates.

Xia Zhi himself could clearly see that the ball she had dropped was outside the boundary.

Wei Xindi pressed the button for the beep and still requested to replay the challenge. Everyone knew that there was no other way - the China female volleyball was no longer available for a timeout in this round.

"Little Superman, it's alright!" Wei Xindi said as he gently placed his hand on Xia Zhi's right shoulder.

Xia Zhi looked into Wei Xindi's eyes.

"Xia Zhi. " Wei Xindi shouted her name, "I believe in you. You can help your teammates win this round!"

Xia Zhi could feel Wei Xindi's hand lightly patting her shoulder once again.

"Calm down!"

Xia Zhi understood that this was what Wei Xindi wanted to say to her, but in the end, the words that he did not say were all part of the action of patting her shoulders twice.

The video playback soon ended. The score was still 24-24, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

The air in Glory and Dream Stadium suddenly became heavy.

"Hu!"

Xia Zhi walked back to the Internet and took a deep breath before slowly exhaling. Now, her eyes only had the six players from the Japanese female volleyball. And in her mind, the words that Lin Yichao had said once again resounded -

"Xia Zhi, you are the one who decided the outcome of the game, Little Superman. The second pass needs you, everyone needs you! "

Xia Zhi looked at the team leader Zhou Shuyao, who had replaced Gu Weiyang and went back on stage. She understood Wei Xindi's intentions.

"Sister Shuyao!" Xia Zhi shouted loudly, "Give me the ball!"

. . .

26 to 24!

The score for the first round of the China and Japan female rankings was fixed at this point.

"Summer's Day! Last year's most valuable player in the female volleyball World Cup, she unexpectedly scored two points in a row and helped China's female volleyball win this difficult first game!"

The DJ's passionate shouts rang out in the loudspeaker of the stadium, once again igniting the enthusiasm of the fans in China.

Xia Zhi waved his fist and celebrated with his teammates who had walked over.

When he walked down the field, Zhou Shuyao pointed at the stands. Xia Zhi looked up and saw that the fans of China had unknowingly unfolded a bright five-star red flag!
