C39 Wei Xindi

The whole game, Weixin Di, is sitting in the coach seat.

She seemed to be confident in her victory.

Indeed, this confidence came from her understanding of her opponent, the second female platoon of the United States. It also came from her familiarity with the members of the second female platoon of China under her command.

This was the finals of the World Championship for women under the age of 23.

However, for the ladies of Wei Xindi and China's female platoon No. 2, after the soul-stirring semifinals last night, they were no longer afraid of any opponent.

This morning, at the final preparation meeting, Wei Xindi took out the most detailed information about his opponent as usual.

It was completely different from the information he had printed out in the past. This information was handwritten.

Some of the team members recognized that the delicate handwriting on the paper was Wei Xindi's handwriting.

Ever since they entered the elimination round, Wei Xindi had used his free time to prepare the information on the second team of the American female platoon. She knew almost every member of the American female platoon number two like the back of her hand. With her memory and the technical videos of the American female platoon number two, she sorted out the information. She also recalled the years when she was coaching the University of Pennsylvania's female volleyball to participate in the National University Women's Racing Championship in the United States. At the same time, Wei Xindi also recalled the past six months when he had returned to his country. The days and nights she spent with the members of China's Second Team of the Female Racing Team were fleeting.

The process of sorting out this information had inadvertently become Wei Xindi's recollection and summary of his life experiences over the past few years. When she put down the pen, she could not help but let out a deep sigh, and her eyes gradually became moist.

Of course, the members of China's female platoon two didn't understand what Wei Xindi was thinking when he was sorting out this information. They carefully looked at the information, only memorizing the information regarding the members of the American female platoon two in their hearts. And in this match, this information became the sharpest weapon for the China female platoon to win against the enemy.

China's female platoon two had always been in the lead in the finals, causing Wei Xindi to not take the initiative to request a timeout in the third match. However, in the lead, she frequently made adjustments to her team members.

"We are a team, and we have fourteen outstanding members," Wei Xindi said to his team members before the match began. "Everyone, everyone must be prepared to go on stage. We don't have any main players or substitutes! "

In fact, other than Li Xuantong, Wang Xiaoqing, Fang Han, Xiao Xiao and Yuan Jun, Gu Weiyang, and Li Mengxi, who were the first to enter the finals, Xiong Xin, Lin Yan, Huang Yiming, Zhang Yingnan, Cheng Ruiqi, and Liu Qin also got a chance to enter the finals as the match progressed. They had more or less chances to play. Even if they didn't need to play much of a role in the match, it would bring them the most unforgettable memory in their lives.

Even though his ankle still hurt a little, and he had firmly placed Xia Zhi on the bench most of the time in the finals, he had still been replaced by Wei Xindi and sent out a few balls when the game was about to end. Wei Xindi hoped that Xia Zhi would be able to enjoy the joy of winning the championship with his teammates.

As the referee blew the final whistle, Wei Xindi stood up from the coach's seat. She looked at her teammates celebrating the championship in the field and smiled. She felt relaxed all of a sudden.

The head coach of American female platoon No. 2, Anderson, came over to shake hands with her. Last season, Anderson, who was also in charge of the Stamford University female rehearsals, smiled bitterly as he 'complained' to Wei Xindi. This was the second time in less than a year that she had led the team and defeated him.

"Chindy, you're already the world champion coach. If you're willing to come back, our contract will definitely be different from the price you saw. " Patrick also said in a low voice.

"Patrick, this is only the championship of the youth competition. " Wei Xindi said.

"What, City?" Patrick asked sharply, "Does the China volleyball Association have a new contract with you? Are they still unwilling to let you back to the United States to coach? "

"Patrick, just like we talked about yesterday," Wei Xindi laughed and replied. "My contract with the China volleyball Association is to wait until the end of this game. I haven't considered it yet. However, this is definitely not the matter of the China volleyball Association not letting me coach in the United States. They will respect any decision I make, and I will also discuss the next plan with the China Orderly Association. "

Seeing Patrick's disappointment, Wei Xindi patted his fat shoulder. He comforted him and said, "But Patt, don't worry. If I were to choose to coach a team in the United States, I would definitely choose to coach a female football team at the University of Pennsylvania. Do you have time tonight? I booked a Thai restaurant at the back of the hotel. I'll treat you to some local Thai food and thank you for your great help in this competition. "

Patrick smiled.

While they were talking, Gu Weiyang had already put on her award attire and ran over. She grabbed Wei Xindi and said, "Sister, stop talking. The award ceremony is about to begin! This jacket is yours. Come with us to the award ceremony! "

Wei Xindi took the jacket from Gu Weiyang's hand and put it on. He didn't forget to tell Patrick, "You must come tonight!"

Wei Xindi walked into the venue after saying that.

On the court, the tennis net, tennis pillars, and other equipment had already been swiftly dismantled by the staff. Replacing them were the champions, subs, and third place podium in the center of the court.

The Dominians' second and the American female platoon respectively won the third and second places of the game. They stood on their respective podium one after another.

Just as they were about to announce the championship, Gu Weiyang shouted for her teammates to hold hands. Wei Xindi, who was standing beside Gu Weiyang, hesitated for a moment, and her wrist was already held by Gu Weiyang. As a coach, although this was not the first official championship that Weixin Di had won with his team, it was the first time that she had ascended to the podium with her teammates.

Hearing the echoing "China," the girls raised their arms high and took a step onto the highest stage.

Correspondingly, the bronze plates of Team Two and the silver plates of the American women's row had to be awarded accordingly. Seeing their team members receive the medals and mascots from the guests, the girls of Team Two of the China women's row looked forward to it even more.

"Sis, their cat mascot is so cute. " Gu Weiyang said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's a Siamese cat. It's a special breed here. " Wei Xindi casually replied.

"Sis, you know so much. When can I be like you?" As Gu Weiyang spoke, there was a hint of envy and yearning in her tone.

"Little rabbit, you're already the second world champion of this age group, aren't you satisfied?" Wei Xindi half-jokingly said as he intimately stroked Gu Weiyang's hair.

"Sis, do you think. . . I can go to China's female rehearsals next year? Just like Little Lion and Great Qing. . . " Gu Weiyang said, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Wei Xindi smiled and did not answer. Instead, he helped her tidy up her collar and said softly, "Stand properly, they are giving us the gold medal!"

As expected, the etiquette lady was holding a large plate full of fifteen gold medals as she walked over slowly. The officials of the International volleyball league and the local officials put the gold medals on the team members and the head coach of Team Two, who had won the championship, one by one. They gave flowers and mascots - the blue-gray Siamese cat doll in a volleyball suit with a proud look on its face.

Wei Xindi held the gold medal in his hand and looked at it over and over again. The front of the gold medal was engraved with the logo of the International volleyball league. The back of the gold medal was the emblem of the competition, as well as the English words "World Championship of Women's Racing Below the Age of 23. "

From the age of athletes, Wei Xindi had been a successful second grader. He had also helped his teammates climb to the national championship and Asian Championship's highest podium time and time again. However, perhaps it was a coincidence of fate, during the few years she had joined a national team, It was a period of downfalls that happened to be encountered by the younger generations of the China female volleyball team. Thus, she had never been able to reach the world championship podium. It was once Wei Xindi's regret that she would never be able to realize.

Therefore, she had never thought that one day, she would be able to win the World Championship with her team members as the head coach. Even if she was only the world champion of the World Youth Series. However, when she took the world championship gold medal from the honored guest, she was still filled with mixed feelings.

Seeing Wei Xindi staring at the gold medal in front of his chest in a daze, Gu Weiyang reminded her from the side: "Sis! It's time to raise the flag and play the national anthem!"

Wei Xindi quickly put down the gold medal and stood at attention. At this moment, the majestic Battle of the Brave Army played the prelude. The three national flags of China, America, and Dominika slowly rose in front of the podium. The five-star red flag was always fluttering at the highest point.

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves. . . " Gu Weiyang started to sing loudly. When Wei Xindi heard this, the little rabbit's voice trembled with excitement. She also started singing loudly together with her team members. However, in a daze, Wei Xindi seemed to feel that she and her team members were no longer in Thailand. Instead, they stood on the Olympic stage, on the Olympic champion podium. . .

"Oh!"

With the last note played, the emotions of the girls in China's second female platoon erupted once again.

Wei Xindi subconsciously wanted to walk down from the podium, but she couldn't leave at all. The team members surrounded her and pointed at the stage. It turned out that Yang Fei had been waiting there with his camera.

The team members first took big pictures in different poses. Then, almost every team member took turns to take photos with Wei Xindi. Then, it was another group photo with the four people from the coaching team. Zhao Yinan also asked the volunteers to help take photos and asked Yang Fei to take photos with them. . .

When the team members and the coaching staff members started to take selfies on their phones in the venue, Wei Xindi finally got some free time. She let out a long breath and quietly retreated to the side. She watched the team members happily playing and playing, as if this was the most relaxing and satisfying moment for her.

"Xindi, thank you!"

Wei Xindi was stunned. He turned his head and saw Yang Fei standing beside her. He lowered his head and looked at the pictures he had just taken while speaking to her.

"Thank me?" Wei Xindi asked puzzledly, "Why are you thanking me? Yang Fei, Why have you been talking so much lately?"

"Thank you for letting me experience an incredible competition. " Yang Fei smiled and said with a sigh, "Even if I watched China's female volleyball win the Olympic championship two years ago, I didn't remember it so deeply this time. "

"Perhaps you were always a bystander when you interviewed China's female volleyball champions," Wei Xindi said. "And this time, you were a participant. "

Yang Fei nodded and suddenly said, "The two of us. . . Haven't taken a photo yet. "

Wei Xindi thought, as expected, Yang Fei was right. He said, "Hehe, then who do you think will help us take a photo?"

"There's no need to take the camera. " Yang Fei took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the selfie mode. "Let's take a selfie!"

"Sure!" Wei Xindi stood beside Yang Fei and smiled brightly, leaving a precious moment in his phone.

"Remember to send my original film!" Wei Xindi did not forget to remind Yang Fei.

"Xindi, remember to send my original film! Then next. . . " Yang Fei said, hesitating.

Wei Xin Di sighed and looked at her team members. He slowly said, "I really don't want to leave them. But, just like last night. . . No, we chatted this morning. The mission of this China female platoon number two has ended. I, the head coach of the China female platoon two, have also officially resigned. If the China Orders Association has a new idea. . . "

Before Wei Xindi could finish his words, her phone rang.

Wei Xindi was still wondering who would call her at this time. He took it over to take a look. It was actually Chen Jiaxiang calling.

Wei Xindi nodded at Yang Fei and ran out of the noisy gymnasium alone. When he arrived at the spacious outdoor area, Wei Xindi felt that the late autumn evening in Thailand had also become a little chilly.

"Director Wei, congratulations!" Chen Jiaxiang said over the phone, "Also, please convey to the coaching staff and the members the China volleyball association as well as my personal congratulations and thanks to everyone on my behalf. "

"Thank you, Director Chen, for your first congratulations. I will definitely convey it to everyone. The team members worked very hard this time. They overcome many difficulties and did not disgrace China's volleyball. " Wei Xindi still said it in a low profile manner.

"You'll be on the plane tomorrow night, right?" Chen Jiaxiang asked.

"Yes. We will go to Bangkok early tomorrow morning. We will take a walk there and relax. The plane will fly from Bangkok to Beijing tomorrow night. We'll arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow, Chen Jiaxiang said. " Wei Xindi gave a detailed report of the return arrangements of the team.

"It has been hard on the night flight," Chen Jiaxiang said. "After returning, the team will be disbanded on the spot. Everyone can take a break. However, Director Wei. . . Can you not leave Beijing for now? Let's find a time to have a chat. . . "

" Oh? " Wei Xindi thought about it and went straight to the point. "I wonder what Director Chen would like to talk about?"

"Little Wei," Chen Jiaxiang changed his way of address. He patiently said, "This year's China's second female platoon is a temporary team. It was set up to participate in the World Championship for female players under the age of 23. However, I feel that this type of team structure. . . It provided a very good backup support for the China female rehearsals. I think that in the future, we can retain this echelon. Let the endless stream of outstanding young members use this echelon as a springboard and a training platform to transition from the youth team to the adult first-string team?"

Wei Xindi was stunned for a moment, but then he asked in return: "However, the World Championship below the age of 23 is held once every two years, and the intercontinental competitions below the age of 23 are held once every two years. If we have to set up a new China female platoon second team next year. . . What kind of competition will the team play? A team can't just practice and not play, right?"

" The annual competition for China's female platoon is very important. Other than the World Three Series, the World Female Racing Grand Prix, and so on, I feel that other competitions don't necessarily need a team to participate in them. " Chen Jiaxiang said.

"You mean. . . " Wei Xindi could not believe his ears.

"My idea is, in the future, China's female rehearsals. . . It should be a big national team. All the excellent athletes are in the category and list of the 'big national team'. Then, according to different tasks and different training goals, We can decide whether to send the first-line national team or the 'second team' to participate in a certain competition. I think. . . Not only will this give more young members the opportunity to participate in the World Championship, it will also allow the training and participation of the China female racers to be more systematic. It would make sense. Director Wei, I don't know if you agree with my views and thoughts. "

Wei Xindi blurted out, "Director Chen, I agree with your views and ideas. "

"So. . . " As Chen Jiaxiang spoke, he suddenly wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Wei Xindi understood that Chen Jiaxiang was waiting for her decision.

. . .

After more than five hours of night flight, when everyone safely and smoothly arrived at the Beijing Capital Airport, the eastern horizon gradually revealed a bright color of the morning sun.

After picking up the luggage, Wei Xindi patiently waited for the team members to happily finish shopping from the tax exemption store. When they reached a corner of the lobby at the Capital Airport, Wei Xindi once again gathered his team members.

Everyone understood that even if they were unwilling, the time of departure would come. Everyone's expressions seemed to have become desolate all of a sudden.

"Little rabbit, you're the captain, count the number of people. " Wei Xindi still smiled as he shouted at Gu Weiyang.

Gu Weiyang pouted and looked around. The fourteen members, including Jin Sheng, Liu Xiyu, and Wang Bin, were all there. Although Yang Fei and Zhao Yinan didn't leave, they stood a little further away when they saw that Wei Xindi was going to say goodbye to his team members. It seemed like they didn't want to disturb them, but in reality, the two of them didn't have the heart to participate in this farewell either.

"Sis, everyone's here. " Gu Weiyang said in a low voice.

"Yeah, everyone's here. . . " Wei Xindi muttered. She then looked at the team members in front of her seriously. Those fourteen faces were no longer as tender and unfamiliar as when they first met at the beginning of the year.

"I've been with everyone for more than half a year. I'm very happy. Thank you for your hard work, and for giving us something in return. It also gave the honor room of the China volleyball Association a golden cup that belongs to us. " Wei Xindi said, He gestured towards the luggage cart next to Gu Weiyang. As the captain, Gu Weiyang had received an important task from Wei Xindi. She carefully carried the trophy back to Beijing. Now, the gold cup for the championship of the World Championship under the age of 23 was safely lying on her luggage cart.

"After the match the night before yesterday, Director Chen in the volleyball center told me that once the team returns to Beijing, they can disband on the spot. Next, everyone can take a break. I also wish everyone a pleasant vacation here!" Wei Xindi pretended to be relaxed.

Although they had worked hard for more than half a year, and the girls were always discussing and looking forward to the holidays, when they heard Wei Xindie announce the dissolution of the team, not a single member of the team showed a happy expression.

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling to go home, or do you not want to take the holidays?" Wei Xindi asked.

"No. . . Sis. . . We just. . . Are a little reluctant. . . " Gu Weiyang said haltingly.

Hearing Gu Weiyang's words, some of the team members even quietly wiped away the tears at the corners of their eyes.

"What's wrong? You're saying it as if you won't see it in the future. " Wei Xindi chuckled, "You're all ready. When I'm next to the home court of a club in this year's league, treat me to a meal. "

Everyone's faces immediately raised.

"Sis, you're not leaving?" Gu Weiyang asked loudly.

"Leave? Where am I going?" Wei Xindi asked back.

"Aren't you going back to America, to. . . To the University of Pennsylvania? Didn't you eat with that team manager the night before. . . We all thought. . . " Gu Weiyang said.

"You said Patrick, that's my old friend. Besides, He was the one who helped us with the documents for this competition. I have to thank him no matter what. Let's treat him to a good meal. " As Wei Xindi spoke, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Yang Fei. He asked loudly, "Yang Fei! Did you tell everyone that I'm going back to America?"

Yang Fei pointed at himself in surprise and shook his head fiercely. "I swear to God, I never said that!"

Wei Xindi turned to look at his team members and said with a smile, "I think that next year, some of you might have a chance to be chosen as China's female rehearsals, but there might also be some who will stay in your respective clubs. But no matter where you are, you have to work hard! I also hope that I will be with everyone and continue to fight for China's volleyball!"
