C29 Wang Xiaoqing
"Nippon!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Nippon (Japan)!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
With the DJ leading the Japanese fans in the stadium shouting rhythmically and knocking on the inflatable baton in their hands, the atmosphere in the wooden gymnasium had reached its climax.
Although this match was not a medal competition for this year's World Championship, the host of the Japanese female volleyball competition with her old rival, China's female volleyball competition, was five or six places. It was still enough for the fanatical Japanese fans to fill up the entire Dai Mu Stadium with seats. And according to the Japanese volleyball association's habit, the Japanese female volleyball competition was often arranged to be held at night. Therefore, this mid-Japanese female volleyball battle also became the finale of this year's World Series.
At this moment, this competition had already reached the final stage of the fifth round.
13 draw!
This was a suffocating score.
Whether it was the head coach of the Japanese female volleyball team, Tanaka Kuko, the members of the Japanese female volleyball team, the Japanese fans, or the head coach of the China female volleyball team, Xu Zhenguang, the members of the China female volleyball team, as well as the fans of China who were watching the TV thousands of miles away, they all held their breath and watched every move on the field.
This was also a game that neither side could lose.
Wang Xiaoqing heard the captain, Zhou Shuyao, who was very close to her, shout her name. However, the noise created by the Japanese fans made it so that even at such a close distance, she could not hear it clearly.
Zhou Shuyao also saw Wang Xiaoqing's puzzled expression, so she simply rushed forward. Supporting Wang Xiaoqing's ear, she shouted loudly, "Daqing, let's play the number four position and pull it apart! Pay attention! The Japanese female volleyball's secondary attack was very accurate in catching the rhythm of the Nietono Nietono Nietono Nietono Nietono Nietono Nietono Nietono. But don't worry, Daqing. Don't worry, go and fight. The few of us will help you protect you well!"
Wang Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Shuyao, then looked back at the female platoon members in China. Besides Zhou Shuyao, Fang Han, and Song Siming, there were also Li Lin and Lu Ming on the field. Everyone's determined expressions gave her confidence. Even Han Jiahui, who was sitting in the bench of the substitute team, waved her fists at her as encouragement.
"Sis!" Wang Xiaoqing shouted loudly, "Give me the next ball!"
Wang Xiaoqing still remembered the situation of the entire team preparing for the match in the morning.
. . .
Ten hours ago, the China female platoon held the match tonight in the hotel station Xu Zhenguang's room. At the same time, it was also the last preparation for this year's World Series Championship.
Xu Zhenguang looked at the fourteen new and old members of the team and slowly said, "Although this match tonight is only for the fifth place, I think everyone already knows who our opponent is, right?"
"Japanese female platoon. . . "
The team members agreed, but their voices were not high.
For a China women's ranking team that had been standing high on the Olympic Championship podium two years ago and was still ranked first in the world women's ranking, it was hard to accept that they could only compete for fifth place in the World Championship.
"We can't lose to Japan no matter who we lose!" Xu Zhenguang's voice suddenly became louder. The team members felt a chill in their hearts, and they couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the old marshal.
"Even if it's a match for the fifth place, we still have to win. No, we have to win! " Xu Zhenguang said, "Especially in the home field of our opponent. We have no other choice. We must win this match!"
Seeing the fighting spirit gradually returning to the faces of the team members, Xu Zhenguang's mood calmed down.
"Then, I will announce the starting lineup for tonight's match. " Xu Zhenguang flipped open the notebook in his hand. In fact, regardless of whether he read it or not, the line-up for the night was already deeply imprinted in his mind.
"The main attack line, Daqing and Si Min, start. " As Xu Zhenguang spoke, he glanced at the two young members.
Wang Xiaoqing and Song Siming couldn't believe their ears. They stared at Xu Zhenguang with wide eyes.
"Secondary attack line, Little Tiger and Scarlet Flower Main attack. " Xu Zhenguang continued.
"Instructor Xu, Fang Han is the little lion. . . " Zhou Shuyao smiled and reminded him softly.
"Ah. . . Yes!" Xu Zhenguang also smiled awkwardly and nodded at Fang Han. "Fang Han, I'm talking about you. "
Fang Han's eyes were as big as Wang Xiaoqing's.
"Second Guardian, receive Lu Ming. Free person is still Xiao Lin. " Xu Zhenguang closed his notebook. "Everything is clear, right?"
Although they were somewhat surprised by Xu Zhenguang's arrangement of troops, the team members still agreed. "Understood. "
Xu Zhenguang laughed and said, "I see that most of you don't know. Shuyao, can you tell us why I arranged this lineup?"
Zhou Shuyao was stunned at first, but she quickly understood Xu Zhenguang's thoughts. She answered loudly, "The more important the competition, the more it can train people. Director Xu hopes that today's game will allow Si Min, Daqing, and Little Lion to train well. . . "
As he spoke, Zhou Shuyao looked at the three rookies and asked, "The match against the Japanese female volleyball has always been a tough one. Furthermore, today is the opponent's home court match. The three of you. . . Are you confident?"
"Yes!" The three of them answered in unison.
"Don't worry, the few of us old members will definitely do our best to protect you!" Zhou Shuyao's words were meant for the three young members and the other old members of the team. It was also meant for Xu Zhenguang.
. . .
"Daqing!"
The moment Li Lin, the free female rehearser of China, steadily picked up the transmission this time, the originally noisy Generation Wood Stadium instantly quietened down.
Zhou Shuyao's shout resounded throughout the stadium.
Wang Xiaoqing knew that she did not need to worry about anything else. She only needed to jump and wave her arms. That volleyball would naturally be accurately passed to her by Zhou Shuyao, and it would be sent to the most comfortable position for her to slam the ball.
"Pa!"
Accompanied by the sound of the ball hitting the ground, thousands of Japanese fans suddenly let out sighs of regret and regret.
Navagraha shook his head. The difference in height and the tacit cooperation between the China female lead and the second pass made it difficult for her to defend against the China female lead even if she knew that the ball would be played by their young lead.
It was good to be young! Looking at Wang Xiaoqing, who was celebrating her score with her teammates on the other side of the net, he thought to himself.
The match wasn't over yet. This also meant that the test faced by the Japanese female racers hadn't ended yet.
Song Simian walked to the serve area.
She was 23 years old, and she was the first year to enter the China female volleyball competition, even though she was one year older than Wang Xiaoqing. However, she had been in the China female volleyball competition for a few years less than Wang Xiaoqing. Therefore, she thought about the fact that she was able to follow the team to this year's World Championship of the women's ranking. She even felt lucky that she was able to make her debut in the last crucial match. She understood that she had to seize the opportunity of this match. Seize this opportunity to serve. . .
Song Siming held the ball in front of her chest and silently counted, "1, 2, 3. . . "
This was her habit of serving.
She threw the ball high up, jumped, and served.
This jump ball went straight for the Japanese female volleyball's second serve, Gu Heyou.
Although Gu Heyou's offense was unique in terms of speed and bounce, his first pass was still not stable enough compared to the previous Japanese female volleyball veterans. In the face of Song Simian's strange rhythm, strength, and rotation of the jump ball, Gu Heyou barely managed to pass half of the pass this time.
"Youxi!" Yoshiko Sato, the second female volleyball player, shouted. The only person she could count on for this attack was her captain, Shikugawa Youxi.
It was true that Shikugawa, who had the double role of captain and main attacker, had to shoulder the important mission of defending the Japanese women. However, at this moment, a "Great Wall" that made her despair appeared in front of her!
"Hey!" Fang Han jumped up in front of the net, blocking Shi Chuan Youxi's way to slam the ball.
Shichuan Youxi felt that this second passed so slowly. Her body seemed to be immersed in the cold sea water, slowly sinking. She also seemed to see the volleyball that was stopped by Fang Han also stop in front of her eyes for a moment before falling along with her body. . .
Generations of Wood Stadium became silent.
"Ah!" Wang Xiaoqing shouted loudly and pounced toward Fang Han, who was beside her. Fang Han, who was still immersed in the atmosphere of the competition, was startled.
"Little Lion, you are awesome!" Wang Xiaoqing immediately picked up Fang Han, who was half a head taller than her. Fang Han, whose feet were off the ground, was still staring blankly at Wang Xiaoqing, not daring to believe what he had done.
15 to 13!
The China female volleyball won the bitter battle of the fifth round, and also won the World Championship match with the Japanese female volleyball.
"Daqing. . . " Fang Han asked, "We won?"
"We won! Little Lion, Your interception. . . Your single interception!" As Wang Xiaoqing spoke, she seemed to be incoherent.
"It's. . . It's us who won!" Fang Han also spoke incoherently, "Not only my block, but also your slam dunk, Si Min's serve. . . Sister Shuyao's pass, Sister Xiao Lin's pass. . . We won. . . We won!"
After saying that, Fang Han pulled his arm out of Wang Xiaoqing's arms and hugged Wang Xiaoqing tightly. He also put his head on Wang Xiaoqing's shoulder.
Wang Xiaoqing noticed that the jersey on her shoulder was slowly getting wet. It must have been soaked by Fang Han's tears.
Although it was only the fifth place, this victory was the best reward for her, Fang Han, Song Simian, and even for this group of women who were in a difficult situation.
Wang Xiaoqing saw that the reporters from China who had come with the China female rehearsals to report on the World Championship of the female rehearsals had rushed over. They held their mobile phones, cameras, and cameras, all surrounding her and Fang Han, recording and recording.
Yang Fei's eyes were red as well. He asked loudly, "Daqing, this is the first time your three young members have filled up the entire World Championship. How do you feel?"
"I. . . We are too. . . Too happy!" As Wang Xiaoqing spoke, she suddenly became somewhat nervous.
"It's fine, speak slowly!" Yang Fei smiled and consoled her.
Wang Xiaoqing took a deep breath and said, "I am very grateful to Coach Xu for giving us young members such an opportunity. This means that Coach Xu trusts us very much. Fortunately, we did not disappoint Director Xu's trust. So, I have to thank Director Xu. "
" The data for your match is very good "Yang Fei continued," According to the official statistics of the International volleyball League, you scored 31 points in five games, and your goal rate was 56%. What do you think is the reason for such a good performance? "
As long as she was standing on the field, Wang Xiaoqing would be completely focused on the game itself. How could she calculate how many points she had scored? When she heard Yang Fei report this string of data, Wang Xiaoqing was also shocked. "Teacher Yang! I really got so many points? "
Wang Xiaoqing's question caused all the reporters in China to laugh loudly. Wang Xiaoqing was also a little embarrassed. Her round face suddenly became bright red.
"That's right. It's the official data. Let's talk about it, and evaluate your own performance. " Yang Fei took over the conversation and helped Wang Xiaoqing stabilize her emotions.
"I feel that. . . This is not something that I can do alone. Just like what the little lion told me just now, I can get these points. I relied on Sister Lin's pass, defense, and every ball that Sister Shuyao passed to me. By relying on the help of every member of the team. . . This is a result that I can only obtain with everyone's help. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts!"
As soon as Wang Xiaoqing finished speaking, Yang Fei took the lead and gave her a round of applause.
Wang Xiaoqing repeatedly expressed her gratitude, but her gaze couldn't help but glance to the side.
Not far from the venue, the Japanese female platoon members sat on the ground glue in disappointment. Some were silently shedding tears, while others were comforting each other. At this moment, Wang Xiaoqing suddenly felt that she was so lucky, because she was a member of the China female platoon. . .
When she returned to the hotel, it was already very late at night.
Wang Xiaoqing was just about to pack up when the phone in the room rang. Fang Han, who was in the same room, answered the phone and shouted repeatedly, "Quick, Instructor Xu wants us to go to his room. "
Wang Xiaoqing could not care about anything else. She followed Fang Han to Xu Zhenguang's room.
As soon as she entered Xu Zhenguang's room, Wang Xiaoqing saw that not only was Xu Zhenguang waiting for her and Fang Han, but even Chen Jiaxiang was there.
"Hello, Director Xu, Director Chen!" Wang Xiaoqing and Fang Han greeted Xu and Chen, seeming somewhat nervous.
"Daqing, Little Lion, you two did very well today!" Xu Zhenguang said. He finally got Fang Han's nickname right.
"Yeah, both of them are young players. They started the match in such an important match and played five rounds. Being able to persist until the end and help the team win is indeed worthy of praise! " Chen Jiaxiang also echoed.
"Thank you, Director Xu, for giving us a chance to play. . . " Wang Xiaoqing said.
"Oh, Great Qing is really getting better at talking now. " Xu Zhenguang smiled and pointed at Chen Jiaxiang, who was beside him, and said to the two young members, "If you want to thank me, then thank Director Chen. He was the one who suggested that the two of you start the match. "
How would Wang Xiaoqing and Fang Han know that last night, Chen Jiaxiang and Xu Zhenguang had a drink with each other and had a discussion about the future of China's female rehearsals? They stared blankly at Chen Jiaxiang, so nervous that they could not speak.
Chen Jiaxiang waved his hand and said, "I'm just making a suggestion. The right to use troops will always belong to the head coach. "
He paused. Chen Jiaxiang still asked the two young players: "What do you plan to do next?"
"We will return to the base of Huan City tomorrow. . . " Wang Xiaoqing blurted out.
"Hmm. . . " Chen Jiaxiang smiled and asked, "Don't you want to rest for a few days?"
Fang Han and Wang Xiaoqing looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Xiaoqing understood what Fang Han was thinking and answered in embarrassment, "To tell the truth. . . Director, we really want to take a leave. But our teammates are busy preparing for the World Championship for the female rehearsals under the age of 23, and training. We've been away from the team for almost two months. Little Lion and I still want to hurry back and meet up with everyone. We need to make the best use of this last period of time to train our teamwork. "
"I think Sister Wei can't wait any longer. She must be waiting for us to go back earlier. " Fang Han also added loudly.
"Okay!" Chen Jiaxiang said loudly. Apparently, he was very happy to hear Wang Xiaoqing and Fang Han's reply. "Although you two are young members, you have such a big view and collective awareness. It's really good. It seems that Little Wei's half a year of hard work was not in vain! "
Xu Zhenguang picked up a USB from the table and handed it to Wang Xiaoqing, saying, "Daqing, return to Huan City tomorrow and pass this to Coach Wei on my behalf. This is the technical recording of today's competition. I think this will be helpful for the preparation of the World Championship for the China Female Racing Team Two under the age of 23. "
Wang Xiaoqing took the USB and held it in her hand seriously.
"After the two of you go back, make a summary of this World Championship while seriously training with Director Wei. When you arrive in Thailand, you must also have a proper attitude and focus 100% of your energy. " Xu Zhenguang said to the two young members.
Xu Zhenguang's tone was very serious and serious, as if he had already considered Wang Xiaoqing and Fang Han as the official members of the China women's platoon. He had "lent" them to the China women's platoon, so he had to give them an explanation.
"In the following World Championship for the women's platoon under the age of 23, the two of you must perform well. You must bring the good style of the China women's platoon to the second team. In difficult times, if you dare to fight and fight, if you dare to fight, you must not embarrass the China female volleyball! " Xu Zhenguang continued.
When Wang Xiaoqing and Fang Han heard this, they looked at each other, smiled, and loudly agreed, "Yes!"
"Also, when we return to the league this year, we must also maintain a good condition and prepare our physical strength. We also need to pay attention to defending against injuries and illnesses. After the national team is gathered next year, if I find out that you two are in bad shape, especially Daqing, if your weight is raised again, let's see how I train you! " Xu Zhenguang said loudly.
"Yes. . . " When Wang Xiaoqing heard Xu Zhenguang mention her weight, she could not help but agree.
Fang Han was smart, and she could hear the implied meaning from Xu Zhenguang's words. But she still blinked her big bright eyes, and carefully asked, "Director Xu, You mean. . . Next year, there will be two of us at the training camp for the female rehearsals in China?"
"What do you think?" Xu Zhenguang asked back.
"Alright, alright! It's getting late! The two of you should hurry back and pack your things. Rest early today. Tomorrow, when you return to Huan City, you will have to throw in your training! " Chen Jiaxiang said from the side with a smile.
"Yes!" Wang Xiaoqing and Fang Han said at the same time.
