C19 Xia Zhi

Arriving at the sports center stadium again, Xia Zhi felt a completely different atmosphere and excitement from when he came here two days ago to adapt to the training field.

At this moment, Xia Zhi and his teammates were standing in the athlete's channel, waiting to enter the stadium. The members of China's female platoon No. 2 were wearing a set of national flag red "first match uniform. " Apart from the captain on the field and Gu Weiyang, who was wearing the number 15 competition uniform, the rest of the team members were neatly lined up in a line according to their height.

The group of people beside them were the Japanese female platoon members wearing white competition clothes and black shorts.

Today was the first day of this year's international female platoon invitation competition. According to the schedule, the opening match between the China female platoon and the Japanese female platoon would begin.

Xia Zhi could see that although the Japanese female platoon members looked polite, their eyes were more or less filled with contempt as they looked at China's female platoon No. 2.

This was also true. After all, their opponent was one of the top Asian regiments, and they had even won bronze medals in the Olympic Games a year ago. This time, the Japanese female racers also sent their main force here, and they were worthy of being called the first-string adult national team. Xia Zhi and his teammates were the second team of the China female volleyball team. They were nominally the "reserve team. "

Xia Zhi remembered that last night, when the entire team was preparing for the start of the match, the little rabbit Gu Weiyang imitated the Japanese female volleyball head coach Tanaka's sarcastic words. Xia Zhi thought about it again. Wei Xindi had given everyone a military order at the preparation meeting. "We have to defeat Japan! We have to win!"

"Sister. . . " A young voice woke Xia Zhi up from his memories. She looked up and saw a little girl waving at her from the spectator stand next to the athlete's channel.

The little girl was only five or six years old. She had two horns on her head and her big eyes were wide open. She looked down and saw a five-star red flag sticker on her face.

Xia Zhi smiled at the little girl.

"Sister," the little girl shouted, "can you help me pick up the flag?"

Xia Zhi was stunned. He followed the direction the little girl pointed and lowered his head. He found a small five-star red flag lying quietly on the ground beside his feet.

The little girl's mother also came over at this time. She hurriedly explained to Xia Zhi, "I'm really sorry. This is the first time that the child has come to watch a female rehearsal competition. She was too happy. She waved the small flag and accidentally fell below the stands. "

Xia Zhi bent down and picked up the small national flag. He gently stroked it and raised his hand, handing it back to the little girl.

"Thank you, sister!" The little girl smiled happily.

"Big Sister, you guys are wearing the national flag uniform. " The little girl saw the five-star red flag on the chest of the summer competition uniform and asked, "You guys are China's female rehearsals, right?"

"We are. . . " Xia Zhi wanted to explain that they were not China's female racers. Instead, they were China's female platoon number two. However, when the words reached his mouth, However, he did not know how to explain it to this little girl. After thinking about it, Xia Zhi patted the flag on his chest. He laughed loudly and said, "We are both China's national team! Later, you will sing the national anthem with us and salute the national flag!"

The little girl laughed and happily waved the national flag in her hand.

. . .

The athletes entered the field, warmed up the field before the competition, raised the flag and played the national anthem. . . After a series of procedures, the competition finally began.

Wei Xindi once again gathered his team members together. They formed a circle in front of the coaching stands, and each of them used their arms to support their teammates' shoulders.

"What's our goal for today?" Wei Xindi asked loudly.

"Win the ball!" The team members shouted in unison.

"Come on!" Wei Xindi shouted.

"Come on!" The team members shouted together.

The atmosphere of the entire Dong Dong Sports Center seemed to have been ignited by this "all the best. "

When he finally stood on the stage, Xia Zhi suddenly felt his heart calm down.

She looked at her teammates on the field, and Wang Xiaoqing, who was in the back row, tried hard to adjust her center of gravity. In order to prepare for the next pass, Li Mengxi continuously pointed at Yuan Jun's position. After all, the first round of attack for China's female platoon two was about to start. Li Mengxi and Wang Xiaoqing needed to do their best to protect Yuan Jun.

Xia Zhi saw Fang Han seriously preparing to block the net in front of the net. Gu Weiyang, on the other hand, had her back to her opponent as she constantly gestured at everyone in front of her chest, telling everyone that China's female platoon two's attack in this match was going to start from the fourth position!

"Xia Zhi!" Gu Weiyang shouted her name loudly.

Xia Zhi nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

The referee's whistle had finally come!

The Japanese female volleyball player, Naer, was the first to serve.

This was a seemingly simple but highly technical hands-on floating ball.

"Let me do it!" Li Mengxi shouted first. She slightly moved her feet, adjusted her center of gravity, and faced the incoming ball.

Although Li Mengxi had adjusted the ball with a clear downward spin, allowing it to fly in the direction that Gu Weiyang could control, the pass this time still hadn't reached the point where it was completely in place. Gu Weiyang lightly took a step forward and then jumped up, sending the ball as fast as possible to the fourth position at the most suitable height.

That was where the summer came.

Since the start of the match, Summer had been focusing 100% of his attention on the yellow and blue volleyball. She watched the volleyball fly past the tennis entrance, watched as it was lifted up by Li Mengxi, and watched as Gu Weiyang sent it over.

Now, it was finally her turn.

Xia Zhi nimbly ran a step forward and jumped high into the air. He extended his abdomen and raised his arms. The ball was already within reach.

"Pa!"

All the China fans in the sports center of Yongdong Port instantly fell silent.

Facing the not-so-tall Japanese female volleyball block team member, Xia Zhi's slam dunk actually deviated from the normal trajectory and was thrown out of the world.

In the midst of the sudden burst of regret from the audience, Xia Zhi's foot landed on the ground. She was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that she could throw this ball out of the bounds of the world.

Gu Weiyang dashed in front of Xia Zhi with a single step. She patted Xia Zhi's waist, then patted her own chest and said loudly, "Xia Zhi, it's my problem. It's my fault for not passing the message properly!"

Xia Zhi smiled at Gu Weiyang. His eyes were filled with guilt and gratitude.

Xia Zhi knew that Gu Weiyang had done her best to pass the ball well. The reason she had made a mistake was that she had wanted to change the trajectory of the ball the moment she had struck it. She wanted to completely avoid the Japanese female volleyball players' blockers. The sudden change in her thoughts brought about hesitation in her technical movements. It was rare to not make a mistake.

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Let's play the next ball properly! " After encouraging the summer break, Gu Weiyang shouted at her teammates.

"All the best!" Xia Zhi stood in front of the net and shouted as if he was venting.

Seemingly able to tell that the backup of China's female platoon number two was in an invisible position, she smiled to herself and the second serve flew straight in Yuan Jun's direction. Wang Xiaoqing and Li Mengxi, who were responsible for the first pass, couldn't help but rush over.

Wang Xiaoqing, Li Mengxi, and Yuan Jun, who were about to dodge, almost bumped into each other. Wang Xiaoqing subconsciously stretched out her arm to cushion the ball. Fortunately, the ball didn't go out of the boundary. In the chaos, Gu Weiyang, who was still calm, took two steps forward and tried to pass the ball when he almost lost his center of gravity.

It was still the fourth position, and it was still the summer's arrival.

Gu Weiyang's choice was not wrong. In a situation where the transmission was not in place, this sort of adjustment of attack would often have to rely on the individual abilities of the main attacker.

Even though the ball was sent over, the distance was still somewhat open to the net.

Xia Zhi tried his best to adjust his position, jump, and slam. . .

This time, the ball did not go out of bounds, but it was blocked by the Japanese female volleyball, which was already in position to block the net.

0 to 2!

An ear-piercing sound of a beep could be heard from the loudspeaker.

Wei Xindi, who was standing at the side of the field, pointed at the palm of his left hand with his right hand and made a pause gesture.

Xia Zhi followed his teammates back to Wei Xindi's side.

With two consecutive throws like that at the start of the game, I'm probably going to be criticized. Xia Zhi thought.

"What's up, girls? Are you nervous? Or have you not woken up from your afternoon nap? " Wei Xindi maintained his smile and loudly said to his team members, "Alright, the alarm has rung. Everyone should get up!"

When the team members heard this, they all laughed.

Seeing the team members walk back to the field, Wei Xindi called out to Xia Zhi again.

"Xia Zhi," Wei Xindi said as he walked forward. He stretched out his hands and gently pinched Xia Zhi's eyebrows with his two thumbs.

"Don't frown. Smile. Smile is beautiful!" Wei Xindi said.

Xia Zhi did not notice that his brows were tightly knitted just now. When he heard Wei Xindi say that, Xia Zhi relaxed and tried his best to smile at the head coach.

"The Japanese female racer is about 10 centimeters shorter than you. She's not as good at jumping as you are. Next, Xia Zhi, I want you to slam the ball. Regardless of whether they block the net or not, if there are a few people blocking the net, you will smash them down! Hit as hard as you can!" Wei Xindi said.

Xia Zhi bit his lips and nodded vigorously.

The competition started again.

Naer had changed the serve method. He jumped faster and stronger.

"I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll do it! " Li Mengxi shouted as she blocked the line. This time, Little potato steadily placed the ball towards the tennis net.

"Little bunny!"

"Summer's arrival!"

Xia Zhi and Gu Weiyang shouted each other's nicknames and names at the same time. Their mutual understanding sometimes didn't require thousands of words, but only a few words.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath and fully adjusted every muscle in his body.

The ball was sent over!

From the corner of Xia Zhi's eyes, he caught sight of the Japanese female volleyball that was in charge of blocking her, Omura Xinyi, and Gu Heyou. The expressions of the two players clearly changed from shock to disdain.

After the young primary attacker No. 1, who had successfully forced his opponent to throw the ball and block his attack, Omura Xinyi and Gu Heyou felt that. . . According to normal tactical thinking, China's female platoon No. 2's next attack. . . It would definitely not be passed on to the main attacker. So, when Gu Weiyang passed the ball to the fourth position for the third time, It was indeed out of their expectations when she passed the ball to Xia Zhi. However, They quickly thought that this was only because the young second-rate player of China's female platoon had never seen the world before. He was too timid and his skills were too crude, so he could only pass the ball to the main player.

However, the two of them would never have thought that such an unusual tactical arrangement was actually hidden in the heart of the head coach of China's female platoon, Wei Xindi.

This time, Xia Zhi jumped even higher than before.

Omura Xinyi and Gu Heyou could only raise their heads and look at Xia Zhi's figure as he spread his wings and flew like a roc. Even if they followed the rhythm and jumped up, the ball still smashed down from the tip of their fingers, which had been stretched as high as possible.

"Dong!"

The back row of the Japanese female volleyball jumped and fell to the ground, but the ball had already hit the floor heavily.

China's second female player got the first point.

Xia Zhi subconsciously raised his fist.

"Well done, Xia Zhi, let's do it!" Wei Xindi clapped his hands at the side of the field and shouted loudly.

Although Xia Zhi had lost points in two consecutive attacks in the beginning, Wei Xindi still insisted that Gu Weiyang pass the third ball to Xia Zhi. This was not a competition between Wei Xindi and Xia Zhi. Or a one-track mind. Because Wei Xindi knew that if he wanted to win this game, She had to let every member of the team, including Xia Zhi, accumulate confidence in themselves through one match or one match of actual combat. Through the success of one point and one ball, she worked hard to see her strengths.

Xia Zhi did not let her down.

This ball sounded like the horn of China's second female platoon's general attack.

Next, be it Xia Zhi's assault, Fang Han's high point fast ball, or Yuan Jun's three-dimensional attack from the front and back, China's female platoon two immediately became very successful.

Tanaka had no choice but to use up two timeouts before the second timeout. Her expression gradually turned from one of indifference at the start to one of seriousness. There was even more anxiety on her face.

25 to 22, 25 to 20.

China's female platoon, Team Two, won two rounds in a row!

During the break, Xia Zhi took the sports drink from team doctor Wang Bin and drank it in big gulps. Although his mental state was still very excited, Xia Zhi suddenly felt a little tired.

This might be the most exciting game she had ever played, but it was also the most tiring game she had ever played. After all, her opponent was a strong adult team, and the Japanese female volleyball team was famous for their tenacity in defense and the number of rounds they played back and forth. In front of any team, they were all tough opponents like sticky candy.

"Are you tired?" Wei Xindi keenly noticed that Xia Zhi's breathing had become heavy. She walked over and asked softly.

"It's alright!" Xia Zhi replied straightforwardly.

Xia Zhi's resilience made Wei Xindi nod approvingly. She used the large towel in her hand to wipe the sweat off Xia Zhi's forehead.

"Ladies!" Wei Xindi told everyone, "The first two rounds were very good. Next, there might be adjustments to the Japanese female rehearsal. After all, They weren't familiar with us before. After two rounds, They slowly understood our path. So, everyone still has to relax in the third round. However, we must not relax in our hearts. We must not give the Japanese female rehearsals a chance to counterattack!"

"Understood!" The team members shouted.

When they returned to the field, the Japanese female platoon changed their formation as expected.

Tian Zhonggui used the young deputy village prince to change into Omura's new clothes. Although the height of the net did not change much, the village prince's attack speed was even faster.

The village prince's several quick attacks caught Xia Zhi off guard, let alone the latter who was in charge of blocking the net. Even the little rabbit Gu Weiyang, whose movement speed was extremely fast, was unable to jump over in time to form a two-man net. It allowed the village prince's fast ball to pass through the net between her and Xia Zhi's hands.

0 to 2.

1 to 3.

4 to 7.

5 to 10.

9 to 16. . .

In this round, China's female platoon No. 2 had always been in a passive position. But the difference in points was getting bigger and bigger.

When they were seven points behind and entered the second technical pause, the team members looked a little depressed.

Wei Xindi, however, did not seem to be affected by the difference in points at all. He continued to enthusiastically greet the team members.

"Ladies, tell me the truth," Wei Xindi smiled as he looked at everyone and said, "Whether you go on or not, it doesn't matter. Before this game starts, who thought that we could win the game by 3 to 0?"

Although Wei Xindi's tone was calm, Xia Zhi's heart still skipped a beat when he heard these words.

Wei Xindi's words were not casually asked. It was precisely because they had won two rounds that Xia Zhi and his young teammates had the urge to win the match or even obtain a complete victory of three to zero. In addition, the Japanese female racers were more adaptable to the situation, which was why the match had become like this.

When Xia Zhi saw this, Gu Weiyang raised her hand in embarrassment. Following that, Fang Han, Li Mengxi, Yuan Jun and Xiao Xiao also raised their hands and lowered their heads. Even Lin Yan, Cheng Ruiqi, Li Xuantong, and the other substitute members who had yet to go up slowly raised their hands.

Xia Zhi also slowly raised his hands.

"Don't even think about winning this match by three to zero. " Wei Xindi said, "The more you think about it, the more you think about it. Aren't you guys restraining yourselves more and more? Now, we are lagging behind, lagging behind for a while. It doesn't matter. Did you guys forget? We originally came to fight this match with the attitude of attacking our opponents. Next, we will treat it as if all the previous scores had been reset to zero. We will start from the first round, starting from zero to zero. Alright?"

"Alright!" The team members agreed at the same time. Everyone raised their hands and put them together to gather strength for unity.

The technical pause was about to end. Wei Xindi pulled Xia Zhi and Wang Xiaoqing over. He whispered, "If the next attack is successful, we will turn. Yuan Jun turned to the front row and formed three attacks. This is a good opportunity for us to catch up. If that's the case, Xia Zhi will need to make some extra insurance in the back row. Great Qing, You have to play your offensive role in the front row, the power of your slam dunk, The Japanese female players are also afraid. "

Xia Zhi and Wang Xiaoqing nodded.

The following matches were just as Wei Xindi had expected. Yuan Jun, who had moved to the front row, had made the Japanese female platoon's defensive team suffer too much. After all. . . The Japanese female volleyball had never encountered any China national female volleyball team that had a strong attack as their main focus. Even if they had already played two rounds today, The Japanese female volleyball had not fully adapted to this opponent who dared to throw in so much firepower during an attack. This opponent was "willing to give it his all. "

As expected, the Xia Zhi in the back row was also facing the pressure of having to bear the burden of one more "tiresome" job like defense. "Work work" consumed more energy. Gradually, she felt that her breathing was heavier than before.

Xia Zhi turned his head to look at the coaches' seats. Wei Xindi folded his arms in front of his chest and watched every movement on the stage without blinking.

Wei Xindi noticed that Xia Zhi was looking at her. A puzzled expression appeared on his face, as if he was silently asking her, "What's wrong, Xia Zhi?"

Xia Zhi wanted to make a substitution gesture with Wei Xindi, but in the end, she still nodded at him.

"Sister Wei, I can do it!" Xia Zhi said quietly, as if he was saying it to Wei Xindi, but more like to himself.
