C18 Gu Weiyang

"Ready?" Wei Xindi sized up Gu Weiyang and asked.

"I'm ready!" Gu Weiyang said, her face slightly red from nervousness.

Wei Xindi saw that the collar of Gu Weiyang's red national team t-shirt was slightly wrinkled. She came closer and helped Gu Weiyang tidy up the collar of the t-shirt.

Wei Xindi carefully smoothened the folds with his fingers as he whispered into Gu Weiyang's ear: "It's just a pre-match press conference, what's there to be nervous about?"

After saying that, Wei Xindi even lightly patted Gu Weiyang's waist.

"What a beautiful girl! Straighten your back and straighten your chest! Let's go! "

With that, the elevator door opened. Wei Xindi brought Gu Weiyang to the press conference hall not far away.

This was the first time Gu Weiyang had shown up in front of everyone as the captain of China's second female platoon. In the hall in front of them sat dozens of reporters. Some photographers and photographers were carrying professional "spears and cannons" and facing her. Some of them were writing reporters and online reporters. They hurriedly held up their phones and were unwilling to be filmed later on.

On the opposite rostrum, the head coaches and captains of the other three participating teams were already seated. Gu Weiyang took a look. The one on the left was. . . The hosts of this competition were the head coach of the China female volleyball team, Xu Zhenguang, and the captain, Zhou Shuyao.

Xu Zhenguang and Zhou Shuyao were dressed differently from Wei Xindi and Gu Weiyang. They were wearing red pants from the China female volleyball outfit. They were wearing white T-shirts with national flags printed on them, while Wei Xindi and Gu Weiyang. . . They were wearing the same style of red long pants and a red national team t-shirt. Visually, It was still possible to tell that these were two different Chinese female volleys.

Sitting on the podium, Gu Weiyang sized up the reporters' seats below the stage. There were a few reporters who had specially rushed over from Binhai City. They were familiar with her. Gu Weiyang blinked and smiled at them. She greeted them silently. Gu Weiyang saw that Yang Fei had also come. He held his camera and sat in a seat slightly behind him.

Realizing that Gu Weiyang was looking at him, Yang Fei placed his hand in front of his chest and quietly waved it at her.

Gu Weiyang also wanted to imitate Yang Fei and quietly wave at him, but Wei Xindi lightly coughed at the side, and Gu Weiyang immediately sat up even straighter.

The press conference began. According to the order of the visiting team and the home team, the host invited the Japanese female platoon, the German female platoon, the China female platoon's second team, and the China female platoon's captain and coach to discuss their views on the invitation match that would officially start tomorrow.

The captains and coaches of the two guest teams said a few simple words of courtesy to express their gratitude for the invitation of the China Orders Association and the warm hospitality of the local government of Yongdong Port. They would definitely do their best to play the game well, and so on.

It was about to be China's female platoon No. 2's turn to speak. Gu Weiyang whispered to Wei Xinde, "Sister. Can I. . . Say what I want to say in a while?"

Wei Xindi looked at her and smiled. He replied: "Silly child, of course you want to say what you want to say. Don't worry, no matter what you say, there's still my sister to cover for you. "

At this time, the head coach of the German female volleyball team, Weiss Lovski, finished his speech. The host and the reporters below the stage all looked at Gu Weiyang.

"Now, we would like to ask the captain of the China female platoon, Gu Weiyang, to express her opinion on tomorrow's match. " The host said.

Gu Weiyang leaned closer to the microphone on the table and cleared her throat. She slowly said: "Thank you for giving me and my teammates a chance to come here. Yesterday afternoon, we went to the brand new Dong Dong Port Sports Center to get used to the venue. That's the most beautiful stadium I've ever seen. The moment we walked in, my teammates and I felt a sense of happiness and an urge to rush into the competition. We really look forward to it. Tomorrow, we'll be able to do our best and win the competition!"

Gu Weiyang's words were completely different from what the reporters had heard in any pre-match press conference. Furthermore, this young girl's words were filled with confidence. The reporters couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

However, when the head coach of the Japanese female volleyball team, Tanaka, heard the translation, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"Okay. Next, let's invite the head coach of the China female platoon, Ms. Wei Xindi, to speak. " The host continued.

Wei Xindi looked at the reporters whispering under the stage and said loudly, "Actually, My captain has already said what I wanted to say. Yes. We, China's second female platoon, have such a rare opportunity to train. We have to thank the organizer of the competition. Thank the China volleyball Association. Of course, we also have to thank our two guest teams. Maybe. . . Everyone thinks that we are just the backups of China's female platoon, but. . . Since it's a competition, I think that any team's goal isn't just to participate in the competition. We hope to defeat our opponent. No matter who our opponent is, we won't be afraid. "

As soon as Wei Xindi finished speaking, Yang Fei took the lead to applaud.

After Xu Zhenguang and Zhou Shuyao's routine speeches, the host announced the start of the reporters' questions. Yang Fei was the first to raise his hand.

Gu Weiyang and Wei Xindi both thought that Yang Fei was going to ask questions about China's female rehearsals. They did not expect him to throw the questions to the head coach of the Japanese female rehearsals, Tanaka.

"I would like to ask Coach Tanaka, the head coach and captain of the China female volleyball team two just said that they hope to defeat their opponent in the game. Then, as their opponent in their first match, what do you and the Japanese female platoon think of tomorrow's match? "

Tanaka Yoshiko was already over fifty years old, and as a main member of the Japanese female platoon during the era of the "East Asian Witches," She had witnessed the entire process of the Japanese female volleyball going from glory to decline. However, even though it was already very difficult for her team to regain their former glory, However, this short and thin female head coach still maintained her vigorous energy and pride when she was young and refused to admit defeat.

"It's not easy for a woman to be the head coach of a team. She saw that the head coach of China's female platoon No. 2 was a young woman. It was as if I saw myself when I was young. " As Tanaka spoke, he glanced at Wei Xindi, who was sitting next to her. However, he changed the topic. "Although. . . It was regrettable that the Brazilian female rehearsals were unable to participate in this competition. But I think. . . Since the head coach of our China female platoon, as well as her young captain, is so confident. . . I also hope that they will bring some real pressure to our Japanese female volleyball team in tomorrow's game and let our team members train. Of course, What we value more is still the last day. The competition with the host, China's female volleyball. "

The moment the translator translated Tanaka's words into Mandarin, the reporters below the stage started discussing loudly. Obviously, although Tanaka did not dare to look down on the China female platoon and gave the host an absolute respect, she did not take the young China female platoon second team seriously, nor did she take their young head coach, Wei Xindi, seriously.

"Director Wei, do you have anything you want to respond to the speech of the Japanese female platoon head coach, Tanaka?" Without waiting for the host's call, Yang Fei stood up straight and asked Wei Xindie loudly.

Wei Xindi smiled. She turned her head to look at Tanaka and said loudly, "We China people are the most welcoming. Coach Tanaka, please rest assured. Our China female platoon two will definitely make you feel the pressure tomorrow, so that your team members will receive the greatest training!"

. . .

He followed Wei Xindi back to the sports hotel at the female platoon base in Dong Yong Port. Along the way, Gu Weiyang had been huffing and puffing.

"Sis, that old Japanese lady is looking down on us too much!" Gu Weiyang complained loudly.

"That's right. That old lady is quite capable. That's what she deserves to be proud of. " Wei Xindi said, "So, when the preparation meeting starts later, I want you to tell everyone exactly what that old lady said. You didn't forget what she said, did you? "

"I remember every word clearly. " As Gu Weiyang spoke, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

In fact, before they could prepare for the evening's match, the aggressive speech of the head coach of the Japanese female rehearsals at the press conference had already spread on the Internet. The members of China's female platoon number two used their phones to read the news. They were all filled with righteous indignation and wished they could stand in front of the old Japanese woman and ask her why she looked down on China's female platoon number two.

During dinner, Li Mengxi was still grabbing Gu Weiyang's arm in the dining room and asking her: "We called you little bunny. You really think you're harmless little bunny. Why didn't you say a few words to that old Japanese lady on the spot?!"

"Sister Wei retorted back. " Gu Weiyang looked at everyone with a slightly aggrieved expression and explained helplessly in a low voice, "When that old Japanese lady finished speaking, Teacher Yang immediately asked Sister Wei. . . The host didn't give me a chance to answer after that. . . "

At this moment, Wei Xindi walked into the restaurant with a smile. It seemed that he didn't affect her mood at all because of Tanaka's words.

"Don't just stand there. Quickly go and have a good meal," Wei Xindi instructed everyone. "After the meal, we'll have a preparation meeting. Study how to beat up the Japanese female rehearsals tomorrow! Little rabbit, come over and sit with me at a table. I'll chat with you first. "

After hearing Wei Xindi's words, the team members obediently prepared the food and silently ate. It was as if everyone was looking forward to tomorrow's competition quickly arriving.

"Sis. . . " Gu Weiyang said. On the contrary, she seemed to have some thoughts. She whispered to Wei Xinde, who was sitting opposite the table, "Can we beat the Japanese female rehearsals tomorrow?"

"What do you think?" Wei Xindi asked as he ate.

"I think. . . " Gu Weiyang pondered.

Seeing Gu Weiyang hesitate on this question, Wei Xindi put down the chopsticks in his hands. He tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Weiyang and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "What's wrong? Little rabbit, you don't have confidence anymore? Just now, I saw that you were so fired up at the press conference. You shouted that you want to win tomorrow's competition. . . I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to support you. "

" Sis, it's not that I'm not confident. It's true that we can't lose to the Japanese female rehearsals in terms of momentum. Moreover, that old Japanese lady's words are so aggressive that it makes people feel uncomfortable. But. . . To be honest, there is indeed a gap between our skills and that of the Japanese female platoon. All these years, When I am free, I have watched quite a number of videos of the world's top female rehearsals. I didn't miss the live broadcast of the Japanese female racers. I saw that their defense, small balls, and connections were indeed very good. Their speed was also much faster than ours, sometimes. . . Sometimes, it's not easy for China's female rehearsals to beat them. . . " Gu Weiyang replied.

"Mm, little rabbit, you can calm down and think about the problem. He could see the strengths of his opponent, not losing his mind from anger. It's a good thing, worth commending. " Wei Xindi said, "Since there are so many strengths in the Japanese female volleyball, then if you are the head coach. . . What do you think we can do tomorrow to suppress the advantages of the Japanese female lead and strive for victory? "

"They are fast, but our strengths are high. " Gu Weiyang looked at Wei Xindi. She slowly tried to think about the problem with her role as the head coach. "I think the speed of the Japanese female volleyball. . . Our tempo is good, but our network level. . . Their height is the advantage. If we want to win, I think we need to make full use of our advantage, Let our advantage be greater than their strengths. Like this, Only then will we have hope. "

Wei Xindi nodded, then asked, "Then how can we fully utilize our advantages?"

"Arrangement! Arrangement!" Gu Weiyang said, "Our attack line is very strong. Xia Zhi and Daqing are both quite tall, let alone the secondary attack line. With 'Little Lion' Fang Han alone, it would be enough for the Japanese female platoon to suffer. Be it 'Easy Bro' Xiao Xiao Xiao or 'Little Beauty' Lin Yan, they cooperated with Fang Han. This is our advantage. In terms of the location of the reinforcement. . . If you let Yuan Jun assist you, perhaps the pressure on the main attacker would be greater. However, in terms of offense, Junjun's advantage was even more obvious. However, with 'Little potato' Mengxi around. . . Our defense isn't much different from the first exchange. Once the pressure on the first pass increases, 'Xiao Qi' Xiong Xin can actually use it as a guarantee to take on a few rounds of attacks. "

When Wei Xindi heard Gu Weiyang's words, he had the disposition of a great general who was in charge of commanding troops and strategizing. Wei Xindi was very happy. He nodded repeatedly. However, Gu Weiyang still didn't have a single seat. Wei Xindi knew what Gu Weiyang was thinking, so he smiled and asked, "Everything I said earlier was right. But the little rabbit, the candidate for the second place. . . You haven't said it yet. "

Gu Weiyang lowered her head a little. After thinking for a long time, she said sincerely, "Sis, I know I'm not as tall as Huang Yimeng. What if I become the opponent's breakthrough point on the field. . . "

"So you think, in order for the team to win, we should send a taller second grader Huang Yimeng in tomorrow's game to increase the height of the net. Is that so?" Wei Xindi asked.

"Sister!" Gu Weiyang said, "I want to go on stage, I want to compete! I really want to help everyone defeat the Japanese female rehearsals who look down on us! However, if there is a need for tactics. . . Whether it is me or Huangyi Meng as the second starter, I can understand and will listen to your arrangements. . . " Gu Weiyang said.

"Do you know how tall Sato Yoshiko, the main force of the Japanese female rehearsals, is?" Wei Xindi asked.

Gu Weiyang didn't understand at first. Wei Xindi suddenly changed the topic and asked her about the height of the Japanese female platoon members. There was a deeper meaning behind it, but she still answered seriously, "1. 5m. . . 1. 56m!"

"Then do you know what the highest height of the Japanese female platoon is?" Wei Xindi asked again.

In the car that had just returned from the press conference, Gu Weiyang had already carefully read the list of the 14 people in the Japanese female platoon over and over again. She had already memorized a lot of data in her heart. Hearing Wei Xindi ask this, Gu Weiyang quickly replied this time: "The captain of the Japanese female platoon and the main attacker, Ishikawa Youxi, is 1. 81 meters tall. Xin Hai Aisha, who is fighting against her, is 1. 80 meters tall. . . "

Inwardly, Wei Xinyi felt that her love for this smart, hardworking and earnest waiter in front of her had increased by a lot.

Wei Xindi nodded and said, "That's right. In addition, the main force of the Japanese female platoon for the past two years was Gu Heyou. She was only 1. 79 meters tall, and her two assistants, Naer and Omura Xinyi, who often played together. Their height was 1. 84 meters and 1. 81 meters respectively. It could be said that the average height of the starting lineup of the Japanese female rehearsals was about the same as yours. Then what else do you have to worry about being the breakthrough point for their attack? If they dare to slam a ball in front of you, you can just stop them!"

Hearing Wei Xindi's words, Gu Weiyang suddenly felt her heart fill with confidence again, and she also raised her head.

"Tomorrow, if I arrange for you to start," Wei Xindi said, "I don't just want your brain to be clear. Assign fast balls to the team members, and send 'cannonballs' to the assaulters. I also hope that you can display your specialty of playing second ball well and give me a few more points above the short second pass of the Japanese female volleyball. Let them feel the greatest pressure that the China female platoon's second team can give them! "

Gu Weiyang widened her eyes and pressed hard on the ground. She nodded. Her heart couldn't help but pound.

"Sis, are you really going to let me start tomorrow?" Gu Weiyang timidly asked in a low voice filled with excitement.

"You will set up a 'red flag' at the press conference before the match. Tomorrow, you will be like a real warrior, personally 'standing' on the high ground of the Japanese female platoon!" Wei Xindi replied seriously.

"I will ask you again. " Wei Xindi stared into Gu Weiyang's eyes and said word by word, "Are you confident or not?"

"Yes!" Gu Weiyang answered loudly, his voice resounding throughout the buffet restaurant.
