C36 Xia Zhi
In the first two games, Summer never paid attention to the number changes on the scoreboard. Her eyes were only focused on the volleyball flying around on both sides of the field.
After waiting for the third game, when the head coach, Wei Xindi, requested a pause for the first time, Xia Zhi subconsciously looked at the technical platform.
2 to 7.
Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
We're behind! Xia Zhi thought.
She and her teammates walked to Wei Xindi's side, but no one said anything.
"The effect is not ideal," Wei Xindi shouted loudly, "but the direction is correct! The girls used their serve to hit their pass. Junjun, Xia Zhi, the little bunny, You guys serve well, make sure you have a clear target. Make sure you send the number 9 and the Dominika team's main attack!"
When the team members heard Wei Xindi's words, they couldn't help but pull themselves together again. At this moment, They wouldn't feel anxious or nervous because the score was falling behind. What could make them feel uneasy. . . It was because they felt that even though they had used all their skills, they still could not suppress their opponents. However, Wei Xindi's words made them see hope, and they also composed themselves.
"Xia Zhi!" Wei Xindi said, "Once you finish your next attack, it will be your serve wheel. You must be brave enough to put the serve together. Don't think too much about it. "
"But, Sis, we're falling behind now. . . " Xia Zhi wanted to say something but stopped himself.
He was already five points behind, at least he still had to chase after her. However, if they made a mistake in serve and caused the difference in points to increase, then the situation at the back would be even more difficult. That was what Xia Zhi thought, but she did not say it out loud.
Wei Xindi looked at Xia Zhi and firmly said, "Xia Zhi, I understand what you are thinking, but you should think the other way around. If we don't give our opponents pressure on one pass, no matter how high their goal rate is. . . If we send a vegetable ball over, wouldn't it be the same as helping them attack? That's right, The difference in score increases, it's a loss. However, it was a conservative play, and it was still a loss. They met on a narrow path. Only the brave can win!"
Wei Xindi patted Xia Zhi's waist with confidence and gently pushed her onto the field.
China's female platoon second team had indeed achieved their first attack. Next, whether or not Xia Zhi's serve wheel could blow the horn for China's female volleyball team two to counterattack, all the fans present held their breath and looked at her.
When he truly stood in the serve area, Xia Zhi's heart calmed down. She received the serve from the caddy and saw a few teammates standing in the preparation area out of the corner of her eye. Xia Zhi immediately saw Fang Han.
Although Fang Han looked just as anxious and uneasy as everyone else, her eyes were filled with self-blame.
Perhaps Little Lion was feeling sad because of his physical condition and couldn't help his teammates stop Ramitz, who was playing without restraint. As Xia Zhi thought about this, he turned his head around. After passing through the tennis net, Xia Zhi saw Ramitz, who was standing at the back of the Dominika team.
Although Ramitz lowered his body, his arms were swaying in front of him, looking relaxed and disapproving.
Xia Zhi tossed the ball between his hands. The referee's whistle had already been blown.
Little lion, I'm sending this ball for you!
As Xia Zhi thought about it, this ball was sent towards the back of the Dominika team without any reservations.
La Mirez clearly did not expect that China's female volleyball 2nd team would actually use the strategy of throwing the ball when they were so far behind. In her panic, she thought of trying her best to adjust her position and pass the ball. However, the summer's serve had already fiercely broken through the wind.
"Du!" The referee's whistle rang out, and Ramiel stomped her feet in annoyance. This was the first transmission she had received in this match.
But it definitely wasn't the last one! Xia Zhi thought. She intentionally changed the rhythm of the next serve, but the power and speed of the next serve were even greater.
This ball once again exceeded Lamirez's expectations. She thought that China's female volleyball team two would continue to play serve, but she never thought that this unknown player in front of her would be able to accurately pinpoint her position for the second serve.
Find someone to find a place to serve. This was the highest level of volleyball serve. Even experienced first-string athletes had to go through arduous and long training before they could basically find the starting point of the serve. However, it was not an easy task to hit the ball wherever they pointed.
Thus, the second ball of Summer's Descent caught Lamirez unprepared.
"Oh!"
Lamirez looked at the volleyball flying straight out of her hands, and couldn't help but raise her head and roar.
The Thai fans in the stands let out a loud roar because of this roar.
The main referee once again called Lafite in front of him and reiterated to her that she had to pay attention to her words and actions.
Returning to his seat, Lami Rez stared fixedly at Summer's Day on the other side of the court. His eyes were filled with anger and contempt, as if he was saying, "That ball of yours just now was just a coincidence. If you have the ability, then send me another one!"
Summer Zhi smiled slightly and calmly received the volleyball that the caddy threw for the third time.
Just like before, Summer Zhi threw the volleyball back and forth in his hands.
Others might not know, but Xia Zhi knew that even though she was still unable to "play wherever she pointed" on the serve, she had not let down the many years she had spent practicing serve in the training ground.
Xia Zhi still remembered the simple training center in the county's junior sports school. Every day after the entire team's training ended, the initiating teacher, Zhu Heng, still wanted to keep Xia Zhi behind. Zhu Heng specially marked the landing point of the serve on the floor. He requested that Xia Zhi send out 100 balls at every landing point, and when it would be finished. When would he be able to finish his practice? No matter how long it took, no matter how much time it took, Zhu Heng always accompanied her to the end of summer, until she can complete the serve training.
Of course, Xia Zhi did not know why Teacher Zhu arranged such harsh serve training for her. However, as she entered the professional team, and even played in national youth and youth teams, she realized that with her serve skills, whether it was her coach, teammates, or her opponents, they had to look at her in a new light.
Everyone could see that although Lafite was skeptical about whether Xia Zhi could send the ball to her for the third time, she was still doubtful. But this time, Lami Rez was still much more cautious. Not only did she lower her center of gravity, but she also prepared to receive the ball in advance. Her large eyes stared intently at Summer's every move.
It's coming! Xia Zhi silently thought and adjusted his breathing. Another high quality hoverball was sent out from her hand, and it flew straight towards Ramiel.
"Dong. . . "
The ball flew towards the net with a loud sound. Although it wasn't a perfect pass, Ramises didn't make a direct mistake like the previous two times when he received the ball. The Dominika's second pass quickly adjusted the ball and tried its best to pass the ball to the three-meter line.
Everyone realized that the attack from the back row of Ramitz was coming.
With his outstanding bounce, Ramitz jumped behind the three-meter line. However, he still managed to adjust his attack to make a sound. Lamirez was still very confident. After all, it was very difficult to defend against an attack from the back. Moreover, the person in front of her was the fake kid from China's female platoon No. 2, the short-haired, little assistant attacker, and the smaller figure of the waiter beside her.
However, Xiao Xiao and Gu Weiyang were able to determine the attacking route from the back of Ramitz. Gu Weiyang shouted loudly at the rhythm as Xiao Xiao jumped side by side with her.
"Pa. . . "
"Dong!"
The attacks from Ramitz's back were actually blocked by Xiao Xiao and Gu Weiyang in the world!
The score on the field had unknowingly been overtaken by China's female platoon number two to a score of six to seven. There was only one point left!
The head coach of the Dominika team pressed the beep button beside his hand unwillingly, asking for the first suspension of the match.
The members of China's female platoon No. 2 ran towards the summer break and hugged each other tightly. Xia Zhi's serve wheel caught the opponent three rounds in a row. With his own strength, he made China's female platoon two walk back from the cliff.
"Don't relax, girls!" Wei Xindi shouted to everyone, "The opponent's mentality might become impatient. But the more it is like this, the more we cannot be anxious. We are still behind. We need to chase after them bit by bit. We need to chase after them bit by bit!"
Having said that, Wei Xindi exhorted Xia Zhi again," The serve just now was done well! However, next, not only can you try to adjust the rhythm of the serve, you can also try to change the type of serve and catch them unprepared! "
Xia Zhi came to a realization and nodded.
The minute of pause passed in the blink of an eye and he returned to the serve area. Xia Zhi smiled at the little volleyball boy in his arms. This was the first time that Xia Zhi had the energy to seriously size up the little volleyball boy. This was a Thai girl, around 11 or 12 years old. She wore a large caddy T-shirt, and her large eyes flashed. She was full of spirit. The little girl seemed to understand the game, and she was also nervously watching the performance of her China female platoon No. 2.
In a trance, Xia Zhi seemed to see a shadow of himself when he had just learned how to play volleyball from her. When he saw Xia Zhi smile at her, The little girl quickly ran a few steps agilely, swinging a ponytail behind her head. She did her best to throw the volleyball to Xia Zhi. Her mouth also moved slightly. Although Xia Zhi could not hear what she said, he understood. . . The little girl must be cheering for her!
Xia Zhi was about to serve, but before the referee blew the whistle that allowed him to serve, the head coach of the Dominika team pressed the beeping device again, indicating for a replacement. It turned out that this time, he used a young main attacker to replace Ramitz.
This change stunned Xia Zhi, and even the people of China's female platoon, Team Two, were stunned.
Wei Xindi walked to the side of the field and shouted at Xia Zhi, "Hold your breath, Xia Zhi. They are doing this to disrupt your serve rhythm. "
Xia Zhi nodded and took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, Xia Zhi sent out another wonderful high-quality serve.
The young main attacker of the Dominika team who had just switched on stage was even more caught off guard. If they did not get into position, it would be difficult for them to organize an effective attack. The Dominika attacker barely managed to slam the ball. This time, Xiao Xiao managed to block the net alone.
Xiao Xiao happily ran over to celebrate with Xia Zhi by high-fiving him. Clearly, when the first match began, Xiao Xiao had lost her confidence after suffering a setback. She had managed to find her way back after successfully blocking the net twice.
7-7 draw!
The Dominika head coach stood by the side of the field with a cold expression. He had no choice but to wave at Lamirez and replace her.
However, the members of China's female platoon No. 2 had already caught up to five points in a row. Their fighting spirit and high morale were ignited. Xiao Xiao's blockage was constantly suppressing the attack power of the Dominika team. Yuan Jun, Wang Xiaoqing, and Xia Zhi, the two wings of the "Heavy Cannon Artificers," helped China's female platoon two break apart the enemy's defense line. Even Lin Yan's fast ball had been successfully hit time and time again, making the "little beauty" extremely excited. Seeing that the Dominika team was about to lose, The head coach of the Dominika team decided to change out of the game with Ramises again.
"This really fits the characteristics of the Dominika team," Jin Sheng said with a sigh when he saw Wei Xindi return to the coaching area with ease.
Wei Xindi nodded and said, "A team like theirs often has' emotional balls'. They play like a hot knife through butter, and they don't play like a hot knife through butter. . . But the more they play like this, the more we can't relax. After all, we are still in the chaser's position. "
The bureau paused for a moment, and Wei Xindi repeated these words to every member of the team.
"Little Lion!" Wei Xindi said, "During the World Championship, was the Dominika female lead reversed by the Russian female lead?"
"Yes!" Fang Han said loudly.
"Okay," Wei Xindi said, "If the Russian female platoon can do it, can we do it?"
"Yes!" Xia Zhi and his teammates shouted at the same time.
The "Emotion Ball" of the Dominika team did not change much even after the fourth round. Even though Ramises had been on the court this round, he still maintained a decent hit rate. However, he was unable to withstand the high morale of the girls of the China women's second team. Especially with the heat of summer, the team members on the field were able to attack and defend smoothly.
10 to 5, 12 to 6, 15 to 8, 19 to 10. . . China's female platoon second team kept leading.
Lin Yan also cooperated with Yuan Jun to successfully block the net once. The head coach of the Dominika team could not help but throw the tactical board in his hand onto the ground in anger.
The Thai fans at the scene were quite dissatisfied with his uncool and rude behavior. Not only did they booed, but they, who were originally neutral and enjoying the game, also started to add fuel to the oil for China's female platoon number two.
"China. . . Susu. . . (China. . . Come on!)"
"China. . . Su Su. . . (China. . . Do your best)!"
The voice immediately resounded throughout the stadium.
"Summer's Descent!" Gu Weiyang shouted beside her, reminding her that the Dominika team at the Internet cafe was about to attack.
"Okay!" Xia Zhi shouted and jumped up.
Under Xia Zhi's defense, the opponent's ball missed its target. In order to avoid Xia Zhi's blockers, the Domega team's slam dunk, which was used to receive the second pass, flew straight out of the court. It was a bit of a mistake.
Xia Zhi let out a sigh of relief. However, the moment her feet touched the ground, Xia Zhi realized that his right foot seemed to have stepped on something. He immediately twisted his ankle.
Immediately after, a violent pain spread from her ankle to Xia Zhi's entire body. She couldn't help but sit on the ground, tears falling down her face.
"Xia Zhi!" Wei Xindi immediately jumped up from the coaching stands and rushed into the field. Wei Xindi gently supported Xia Zhi's calf and asked, "Is it very painful?"
Xia Zhi nodded and bit his lips. He subconsciously used his hands to wipe away his tears.
His teammates had already surrounded him.
Gu Weiyang looked at the painful Xia Zhi and could not help but feel angry. She stood in front of the Internet and loudly questioned the Domeka team's Second Message in English. Why did they have to put their feet under the Internet, on the China team's side?
"After I jumped up, I didn't stop my foot. . . It was all my fault. . . I really am very, very sorry. . . " The Domega team's second messenger also felt wronged. As he replied in English, he also apologized apologetically.
Gu Weiyang frowned. She wanted to just let it go. But suddenly, Lamirez shouted in English: "What's wrong? It wasn't on purpose!"
Lamirez's attitude was a little rude and unreasonable. After all, she also felt that the captain of China's female platoon, Team Two, was. . . Was this little Second Trainer acting a little too unreasonable?
"You. . . " When had Gu Weiyang ever suffered such an insult in a competition? She glared at him and was about to retort when Wei Xindi pulled her over.
"Weiyang! Don't argue with her!" Wei Xindi sternly said.
"Yes. . . " Only then did Gu Weiyang suppress her anger and squat beside Xia Zhi, hugging his shoulders tightly.
At this time, team doctor Wang Bin had already performed a preliminary examination for Xia Zhi and said, "The bones and ligaments should be fine. It was just a sprain. "
"The ankle is light and heavy. . . " Wei Xindi was still worried and said, "Xia Zhi, don't fight this round anymore. "
As he spoke, Wei Xindi motioned for his team members to help Xia Zhi off the stage and arrange for Li Xuantong to substitute for him.
After this incident, the members of China's Second and Dominique's Second Squads were all thinking about their own matters. Fortunately, China's female platoon two had a huge lead, so they still managed to win this round without any suspense.
The final match was about to come.
"Dr. Wang," Xia Zhi sat on the bench in the bench of the substitutes. When he saw Wei Xindi calmly arranging the tactics for the team members, he eagerly asked the team doctor, Wang Bin, "Can you please spray me with more painkillers?"
"Xia Zhi, this thing can cure the symptoms but not the root of the problem. " Wang Bin understood Xia Zhi's thoughts. As he sprayed some spray on her, he persuaded, "You'd better rest and listen to Director Wei. "
"I know, thank you!" Xia Zhi politely replied. But when Wang Bin stopped, Xia Zhi immediately stretched his ankle. He even tried to stand up from the bench. Xia Zhi felt that although his ankle still hurt, After all, it wasn't as intense as when he first twisted his ankle. Looking at the stunned Wang Bin, Xia Zhi made up his mind. He quietly gritted his teeth and walked towards Wei Xindi and his teammates.
"Sister!" Xia Zhi had a relaxed smile on his face. "I'm done! I'll go for the next round. It just so happens to be our serve wheel. Let me go and serve. "
Wei Xindi looked suspiciously at Xia Zhi and then looked at Wang Bin.
Wang Bin secretly shook his head behind Xia Zhi.
"No!" Wei Xindi firmly said, "The fifth round is still Snowy. You rest!"
"Sister!" Xia Zhi felt that his tears were about to come out again. He said repeatedly, "Please, I really don't feel pain anymore! I want to go on stage! I can play! "
" Why are you disobedient! " Wei Xindi said, emphasizing his tone.
"Sis! Just let me go up and send a few rounds of balls. If my legs are a little lame, you can replace me! " Xia Zhi begged.
Wang Bin, who was listening by the side, also softened his heart. He walked up and said, "Director Wei, how about I help Xia Zhi use bandages to fix his ankle, you can let her go up and send a few balls. . . "
Wei Xindi looked at Xia Zhi and then looked at Wang Bin. He seemed to have made a great decision before nodding his head. "Okay, Xia Zhi, you can serve the ball. But you can't jump to serve, understand? "
"Understood, sister!" Xia Zhi grinned.
