C35 Xiao Xiao

Continuous victories and consecutive victories made Xiao Xiao and the members of China's female platoon number two live very happily these few days.

By defeating Argentina's female platoon number two in the group matches, Turkey's female platoon number two, and Cuba's female platoon number two, China's female platoon number two successfully made it into the top sixteen.

During the elimination stage, they had defeated the Italian female platoon two and the host, the Thai female platoon two, and made it into the top four.

In the following match, the China female platoon two welcomed their strongest opponent - the Dominique female platoon two.

However, Xiao Xiao was the same as her other teammates. They believed that their young head coach, Wei Xindi, would use the most detailed information and data analysis like before. They would let everyone know the Dominika team before the game started. These days, everyone was even looking forward to the preparations before the game started. They watched Wei Xindi take out the data and distribute it to everyone as if he was performing a magic trick. In fact, everyone was thinking. . . If they had won the strongest opponent in the World Championship under the age of 23 earlier, they would have rushed towards the World Championship.

He was competing with the Dominika team. Xiao Xiao woke up on time the next morning. She did not forget to call out to her roommate, Fang Han.

"Hurry, hurry," Xiao Xiao said as she changed out of her pajamas. "Little Lion, you're up. . . Tell me, should we go to Sis Wei's place earlier after breakfast? I want to see how she prepares today's competition for everyone earlier. "

"Oh. . . " Fang Han, who was on the bed beside her, stuttered, "Easy Bro, you go first. I. . . "

Only then did Xiao Xiao notice that Fang Han had wrapped herself in the blanket and curled up on the bed.

"Little Lion, what's wrong?" As Xiao Xiao said this, she came in front of Fang Han with concern and patted her head. Fang Han's body temperature was not high, but her originally red and round face was pale white.

"Don't call me Little Lion. . . I'll call. . . I'll call you stomach pain. . . " Fang Han said, "Today. . . What's the date?"

"Number 11. . . " As Xiao Xiao said that, she suddenly realized what was wrong with Fang Han.

Indeed, Fang Han frowned in vexation.

Xiao Xiao bent down and gently hugged Fang Han as she whispered, "Does it hurt badly? Why don't I ask Dr. Wang for some painkillers for you?"

Fang Han looked gratefully at Xiao Xiao and said, "It really hurts this time. . . I don't know if it's true. I drank cold water two days ago. . . The moment the competition became tense, I forgot about all the days. Oh right, Easy Bro, you have to help me get a few more painkillers. I'm afraid that one piece won't be enough. Thank you. . . "

Xiao Xiao nodded and ignored washing up. She quickly ran to Wang Bin's room.

Wang Bin was just about to have breakfast when he nearly bumped into Xiao Xiao when he opened the door.

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao recount Fang Han's situation, Wang Bin took out a box of painkillers from the medicine box and carefully handed a few to Xiao Xiao.

"Xiao Xiao, keep an eye on Fang Han. One pill per day, twice a day. Don't eat too much just because you are in a hurry to stop the pain. Got it? " Wang Bin reminded her repeatedly.

" Don't worry, Doctor Wang, "Xiao Xiao said," I'll watch her eat according to the amount. I'll keep the rest. "

After returning to her room, Xiao Xiao boiled some hot water and fed Fang Han a piece of painkillers. Only then did she put down some of her worries. After Xiao Xiao accompanied Fang Han to the dining hall to eat breakfast, it was almost time for the entire team's pre-match preparations.

In the past few days, Wei Xindi's cold and fever had fully recovered. Before the match, the entire team was prepared to move from Zhao Yannan's room to Wei Xindi's room.

The moment Xiao Xiao walked into Wei Xindi's room, she saw that the other teammates and coaches were all present. Everyone began to discuss the match that night in a lively manner.

Wei Xindi immediately noticed Fang Han's strange behavior. Before she could say anything, Fang Han took the initiative to report in a soft voice, "Sis, my stomach hurts a lot today. "

Wei Xindi understood what Fang Han meant. He motioned for her to sit by the bed first before asking her how she felt.

"Xiao Xiao helped me get painkillers from Doctor Wang and ate one according to Doctor Wang's instructions, but. . . " Fang Han felt uncomfortable but at the same time, she said in disappointment, "Up until now, I haven't gotten any better. "

Wei Xindi nodded and said, "Little Lion, you should rest in today's competition. "

Fang Han nearly jumped up from the bedside. "Sis! How can this be?"

"Listen to Sis!" Although Wei Xindi's words were calm, there was a bit of dignity in them that Fang Han could not refute. "I also came from your age. When it's time to fight, you have to fight. That's right. But when it comes to health issues, you can't be careless. "

Fang Han dejectedly returned to her bed.

When Xiao Xiao saw Wei Xindi looking at her, she immediately said, "Sis, don't worry. I'll take good care of Little Lion for the next two days. "

Wei Xindi nodded in praise and said, "Xiao Xiao, I have an even more important mission for you. "

Xiao Xiao widened her eyes as she looked at Wei Xindi.

"The starting rotations for today will have to be changed. Easy Bro will stand at Little Lion's original rotations," Wei Xindi loudly said to his team members. "Little beauty Lin Yan will also be the starting and secondary attacker today. She will stand opposite of Easy Bro. "

Upon hearing Wei Xindi's words, Xiao Xiao did not find anything special at first. After all, she had always been one of the two starting assistant attacks of China's female platoon number two this season. However, when Lin Yan heard Wei Xindi's arrangements, she was surprised at first, but she immediately became excited and eager to give it a try.

"Xiao Xiao!" Wei Xindi turned his gaze back to Xiao Xiao. She said calmly but firmly, "Your mission, other than fulfilling your offensive specialty, is to block so many of Miniga's No. 9 attackers!"

"Yes!" Xiao Xiao said loudly, but her heart was in turmoil.

Xiao Xiao knew that although the Dominique female platoon was also a youth army below the age of 23, However, in their main lineup, other than the Second Message and the Freeman, The rest of them had already entered the Dominique female platoon this year. Even the three young players, including No. 9, who specialized in La Mirez, had also played their main role in the dominique female platoon that had just finished switching between the old and the new. They had even participated in the World Championship of the female platoon that had just ended.

Lamirez was one of the best.

Fang Han had once talked to Xiao Xiao about her experience in following the China female platoon to the World Championship. He had even specifically mentioned Lamirez. Although this young man, who was only 1. 87 meters tall, had little experience in offense, However, she had an extremely outstanding jumping ability. Fang Han saw with her own eyes the scene of two over 1. 90 meters tall players from the Russian female volleyball team working together to block the net and holding a superball on top of their heads.

Although the Dominique female volleyball team stopped at the top eight of the World Championship that had just ended, Lami Reitz and her teammates arrived at the World Championship of the female volleyball team below the age of 23. They had become a strong team that no one could stop. Even the popular female racer of the United States, Team Two, had lost to them in the group match by 1: 3, so. . . The second female platoon of China even treated the semi-final match that was about to begin in the afternoon as a contest for the championship.

Wei Xindi seemed to see the hesitation in Xiao Xiao's eyes. However, Wei Xindi did not say anything. He only distributed the information in his hands to everyone.

Xiao Xiao took it over and flipped through it. Her most obvious goal was to calculate Lamirez's attack route.

Her attack routes were originally multifarious. Furthermore, the statistics showed that the chances of her every route being close to the same. Furthermore, her accuracy was above 50%!

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Wei Xindi sighed and said loudly, "That's right. The attack of this member nearly left the defender unresolvable. But if you want to win, We have to find a solution. Xiao Xiao, Lin Yan, Gu Weiyang, Xia Zhi and Wang Xiaoqing, Yuan Jun, and Li Mengxi. You. . . This is the solution. Fang Han, although you are resting today, But after all, you've seen how the Russian female volleyball beat the Dominians in the World Championship. You can tell everyone what you've seen and felt later. "

A few months ago, ever since Wei Xindi became familiar with the team members and learned their nicknames, she was like a big sister, using the nicknames that the team members recognized to call them. But now, Wei Xindi had seriously called out the names of the starting team members. Everyone immediately became serious, and they could clearly feel the hope that Wei Xindi had placed on them.

"Now, let's study the characteristics of the Dominika team together. . . " Wei Xindi said.

. . .

A few hours later, the match with the Dominians began.

Standing in front of the net, This was the first time Xiao Xiao was looking at the Dominika team's number 9 Ramirez at such a close distance.

Indeed, Ramirez's height was not outstanding. In fact, he looked even shorter than Xiao Xiao. However, she did not dare to look down on this opponent.

Upon seeing the opponent looking at her through the net, Lamirez did not smile politely like the other players. He even greeted her with English words that everyone understood. Ramirez stared at Xiao Xiao in a daze. Even without using words, Xiao Xiao understood everything clearly.

"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you!" This was definitely what Lamirez meant.

The referee blew the opening whistle and the Dominika team took the lead to serve.

Wei Xindi, who had carefully studied the Dominika team, shouted directly at Li Mengxi, "Little potato, this is a jump ball. You stand a little higher up!"

Li Mengxi agreed and took half a step forward. As expected, she caught the incoming ball and steadily placed it in front of the net.

Xiao Xiao and Gu Weiyang exchanged a glance before they understood each other's thoughts.

Xiao Xiao quickly drew close to the net and jumped at almost the same time as Gu Weiyang.

The Dominika Ramitz was indeed half a beat slower. By the time she was done blocking the net, Xiao Xiao and Gu Weiyang, who were cooperating with each other, had already hit the "close-range" ball.

China's female platoon, Team Two, took the lead. 1-0!

"Nice one, Brother Easy!"

Under the encouragement of her teammates, Xiao Xiao happily ran half a lap around the field to celebrate her contribution to the team's first point. However, when she stood in front of the Internet once again, she realized that Ramitz was looking at her with an even sharper gaze.

Although Wang Xiaoqing's serve was heavy, the free agent of Team Two of the Dominique female platoon still tried hard to catch up with this time.

"Pay attention to number 9, pay attention to number 9!" Wei Xindi shouted, "Xiao Xiao, Never-Ending, two people block the net!"

Wei Xindi's shout was extremely urgent. In her haste, she shouted the names of two people once again, not their respective nicknames. After all, when 'Xiao Xiao' and 'Endless Never-Ending's' shouted, it was one less word than 'Easy Bro' and 'Little Bunnies.

Wei Xindi's judgment was once again verified.

Team Dominika's second pass was steady but not fast. It passed the ball to Lamirez, who was waiting at the fourth position. It was not known whether it was because the second pass was a little immature or because she trusted Lamirez's attacking ability too much, but the intention of this pass was actually quite exposed.

"One, two, three!" Gu Weiyang shouted at the rhythm as he formed a double net with Xiao Xiao.

Ramitz was actually half a beat slower!

Let's see what else you can do this time! Xiao Xiao thought in her heart. However, she suddenly realized that Ramitz, who was slower than her and Gu Weiyang, had jumped to the top of the network port earlier. After that, it was similarly a shocking stagnation in the air.

At the instant Lamirez's heavy button exploded, Xiao Xiao and Gu Weiyang's bodies began to fall.

"Dong!"

It was the sound of the volleyball hitting the floor. Although the tone was dull, it was ear-piercing to Xiao Xiao.

Ramitz also stood firmly on the ground. Following that, she roared at Xiao Xiao. "Ah!"

Xiao Yan was stunned.

The main referee waved at Lami Rez. As the captain, she could only obediently run to the bench. The main referee said a few words to Lafite. He must have told her not to roar at her opponent again. Lomez obediently shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, explaining a few sentences to the referee with an innocent expression. He turned around and stood in front of the net again. Lamirez once again returned to his proud expression as he stared at Xiao Xiao.

"Easy Bro. . . " Gu Weiyang comforted her softly, "It's just that guy took one of them, right? It's fine. Didn't Sister Wei tell everyone before the competition? We can't just think about not letting her get a single cent. "

Xiao Xiao tried her best to smile at Gu Weiyang. She turned her head to look at the Internet. On the other side, Lamirez could not help but frown.

Although it was not unrealistic to not let Ramitz get a single point, in the following matches, Ramitz still fired at full force.

After all, Xiao Xiao was a secondary attack that focused on offense rather than blocking the net. Against the fierce and fierce attack of Lamirez, In the first two matches, Xiao Xiao and her teammates' double blocking the net was very ineffective. Not to mention her single blocking the net. The only time they managed to block Ramitz's attack was when Xiao Xiao, Yuan Jun, and Xia Zhi found a rare opportunity to form a three-person blockage. And that ball was originally about to cross the line. However, after Ramitz landed, his body stood outside the boundary. The volleyball that was stopped fell onto her body and bounced back. This allowed China's female volleyball second team to luckily obtain the only blocking score in the first two games of this game.

Without any effective blocking, even if China's Xia Zhi performed well on the offensive side, China's female platoon two still did not obtain any advantages. 22-25, 23-25. The two games were very close to each other and they lost, forcing the team to the edge of the cliff.

When the game was suspended, Fang Han was the first to run over. She tugged at Xiao Xiao and said anxiously, "Brother Easy, you need to control the rhythm of each block of the net a little more. Actually, you don't need to jump in such a hurry. We can clearly see it on the field. That Lamirez is always half a beat slower. "

"But, she always jumps to the point of the ball before me. . . " Xiao Xiao said sadly, "Her bouncing ability is too shocking. "

"Try it. . . Silently count the rhythm of the jump in your heart. . . " Fang Han taught Xiao Xiao the knowledge of blocking the net. However, even Fang Han and Xiao Xiao themselves did not know if these methods would be effective in front of Ramirez, who could be said to have extraordinary talent.

At this moment, Wei Xindi had already gathered his team members to prepare for the final tactical arrangement of this round.

"We have no way out now," Wei Xindi said. "We can only go all out. "

The team members nodded.

"Although we can't stop the opponent's No. 9 attack, that doesn't mean we have to surrender helplessly. " Wei Xindi looked at the girls. Each of them seemed unwilling.

"We will never surrender!" Gu Weiyang shouted.

"Good! There's no such thing as' surrender 'in the Chinese female platoon's dictionary!" Wei Xindi said. "Although we have put in a lot of effort in blocking the net, the effect is not very good. We still have defenses that we can go all out against. Little potato, big sun, summer's arrival, and even the little rabbit. . . You guys are good defenders on the field, next, We must help each other, make up for it, and use defense to reduce the pressure on the blocking team members. Use defense as the foundation for our counterattack. "

The four members whose names were called agreed in unison.

Wei Xindi looked at Xiao Xiao and Lin Yan before saying to the two of them, "Although the effect of blocking the net is not very good now, I know that the two of you have done your best. It's alright. Don't worry and fight boldly. We are a team. The other teammates will give you the greatest support. "

The two deputies nodded in agreement.

Xiao Xiao did not know. In fact, Wei Xindi was similarly feeling anxious. Due to Fang Han's physical condition, he could not enter the arena. This allowed China's female platoon number two to be in dire need of a net. However, they lost an excellent block player. Furthermore, Xiao Xiao and Lin Yan, the two girls from Jiangnan Watertown, had a common problem. They were more delicate and more resolute in their personalities. This was also somewhat different from Fang Han, who was born in the South China region.

In fact, at the pre-match preparation in the morning. . . When Wei Xindi publicly announced that he wanted Xiao Xiao to change her position and take on the main task of blocking the net, She could tell from Xiao Xiao's eyes that she was nervous and not confident. However, Wei Xindi also understood that if he wanted Xiao Xiao and Lin Yan to transform from a weak girl from a water village to a general who could act decisively and fight a tough battle, He needed to constantly hone himself from a tough competition. And the more critical the competition was, the more it would allow the team members to gain training. Thus, the more difficult it was for the team members to train, the harder it would be for the team members to train. This was also the reason why she had always placed Xiao Xiao and Lin Yan on the field today.

In the last few seconds before the third match began, Wei Xindi walked forward. She stood behind Xiao Xiao and asked softly: "Are you tired, Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiao turned her head in puzzlement to look at Wei Xindi and said, "Sis, I'm not tired. "

"Very good. " Wei Xindi smiled and gestured at the Dominika team on the other side of the net. He said, "Look, their No. 9 main attacker is tired. "

Xiao Xiao looked at the nearby Lamirez. Although she could not tell what was wrong with Lamirez, Xiao Xiao felt that since Wei Xindi could tell, Lamirez must have suffered a physical decline.

"So, you are much stronger than her! Help us withstand her!" Wei Xindi softly said, "Please, Easy Bro!"

"Sis! Look at me. " Xiao Xiao said.
