C51 Volume 11 Lin Yichao
As the first domestic debut of this year for the new season of China's female volleyball, the first match of China's international female volleyball tournament naturally attracted many fans from all over the country.
Although there were only a few veterans who had participated in the last Olympic Games in the application form of the China female volleyball, the fans were still enthusiastic. Once again, the huge Yongdong Sports Center was filled with people.
Following the team members into the stadium that could accommodate nearly ten thousand people, Lin Yichao was first shocked by the enthusiastic scene.
In his impression, as the main member of China's men's platoon, he had never participated in so many men's volleyball competitions held in China. He had never had so many fans and so much popularity.
Until he stood in the field and began to help his teammates warm up before the game began. Lin Yichao had yet to completely recover from this kind of atmosphere.
"Be careful, Brother Chao!" Xia Zhi suddenly shouted at him.
Lin Yichao was stunned and felt a black shadow flash in front of him. He subconsciously shrunk his neck and dodged the volleyball that flew over.
The volleyball hit the floor not far away from him. Even the hot and fast live music could not completely cover the heavy sound of the volleyball hitting the ground.
Good fellow, the strength is really great! As Lin Yichao thought, he looked in the direction of the ball. On the other side of the net, the number one football star and captain of the South Korean female volleyball team, Jin Huiyan, smiled embarrassedly at him and waved at him.
It turned out that the Korean female volleyball, which was undergoing pre-game warm-up training on the opposite side of the court, had already begun to slam the tennis ball.
That's right, perhaps only Jin Huiyan's slam the ball had such strength! As Lin Yichao thought of this, he looked at Xia Zhi, who was standing in front of him. He thought again, with the same main attacking position, Xia Zhi, who was three years younger than her, could grow into a main attacker like Jin Huiyan after three years?
During the pre-match preparation in the morning, the head coach of the China female volleyball team, Zhenguang Xu, and the executive coach, Xindi Wei, both mentioned Huiyan Jin's name at the same time. Because, in a sense, Jin Huiyan was even synonymous with the Korean female volleyball team.
The 26-year-old Jin Huiyan played in the top European female volleyball professional league all year round. Although the overall strength of the Korean female volleyball was not enough to participate in the competition for the world championship, Jin Huiyan, with her 1. 95 meters height, outstanding jumping, and nimble mind, was already one of the top female volleyball players in the world.
Therefore, before this match, Wei Xindi specially told Xia Zhi that he hoped that she could use this opportunity to directly exchange blows with Jin Huiyan to observe, understand, and learn Jin Huiyan's characteristics and strengths in volleyball. Then, he would strive to defeat her and surpass her as soon as possible.
Wei Xindi had not only made a request to Xia Zhi. Ever since his team returned from Switzerland, Wei Xindi, who had once again participated in the preparation of the China female volleyball competition for China's international female volleyball competition, had given Lin Yichao an important task: let him "simulate" Jin Huiyan's fighting style and help Xia Zhi and the other China female volleyball players prepare for this match with the Korean female volleyball competition.
Jin Huiyan's twin brother, Golden Light Town, was also the main focus of the Korean male volleyball competition. The siblings had trained and grown up together since childhood. However, Jin Huiyan's manly fighting style was actually quite similar to Golden Light Town's. Before Lin Yichao retired, he represented China's male platoon and had fought with Golden Light Town, which had just emerged from the Korean male platoon. Naturally, he had the most direct impression of the characteristics of this pair of siblings.
After a few days of simulation training, Xia Zhi, Fang Han, and Gu Weiyang's team members' hated 'Lin Yichao from the beginning because they could not stop him at all. They could not defend against Lin Yichao simulating Jin Huiyan's slam dunk and serve.
But gradually, everyone gradually adapted to Lin Yichao simulating Jin Huiyan's characteristics and style. Not only did they gain more and more experience in group fights, but they also became more and more confident. . .
Seeing that the warm-up training before the game had come to an end, Lin Yichao pushed the pushcart. As he took the volleyball from Xia Zhi, he helped her keep the ball. He reminded Xia Zhi loudly in his ear: "Little Superman, relax a little. But don't underestimate your opponent. After all, I simulated it in training. . . It's not exactly the same as Jin Huiyan herself. When you are on the field, you will have to rely on yourselves to react in time! "
Upon hearing Lin Yichao's words, Xia Zhi smiled.
"Don't worry, Brother Chao!" Xia Zhi said, "I will definitely keep a close eye on Jin Huiyan, and I will definitely win for you to see!"
Lin Yichao nodded.
He pushed the ball cart to the side of the field and helped the team pack up their backpacks and jackets. Then, he walked out of the competition field and onto the spectator stands of the sports team.
According to the rules, after the game started, only the head coach, two assistant coaches, and a substitute coach could sit on the side of the field. Therefore, on that day, the China female rehearsal coaching team had the head coach, Xu Zhenguang, the executive coach, Wei Xindi, and the assistant coach, Huang Runze, as well as the team doctor, Wu Yunfeng, working at the side of the field.
As the accompanying coach, Yichao Lin had to sit in the stands with the assistant coaches, Xiyu Liu, and other athletes who had not registered for this game to watch the game.
However, just a few minutes after he sat down in the stands, Yichao Lin's phone suddenly rang. He casually picked it up to take a look, but his heart suddenly sank.
Why was it her call!
Lin Yichao looked at the screen of his phone in a trance. Mo Xiaoyu, who was sitting behind him, was somewhat ignorant of the affairs of the world. She only called out to him, "Director Lin, your phone rang. "
Lin Yichao turned his head and smiled at Mo Xiaoyu in embarrassment. Then, he picked up the phone.
A familiar gentle female voice came from the phone, "Lin Yichao, I saw you. "
"You. . . Are at Dong Yong Port?" Lin Yichao asked in confusion.
"I am on the rostrum. I am at the third position on the right of the first row of the rostrum. "
Lin Yichao looked towards the rostrum, and a girl he was very familiar with was waving at him from the stands.
"Why are you here?" Lin Yichao asked.
After a moment of silence, the girl said, "If you are not busy now, let's talk. In the VIP room at the exit of the rostrum, the leaders were all in the stands. It should be very quiet there. "
"Alright, I'll go look for you. " Lin Yichao said.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yichao sighed and stood up to walk down the stands.
"Director Lin, you're not going to watch the ball anymore?" Mo Xiaoyu asked loudly from behind him.
"I'll be right back. " Lin Yichao said, "Little girl, help me look after my seat. "
Walking down from the grandstand, Lin Yichao quickly walked past the side of the field and walked out of the VIP passageway. He saw the VIP room.
Lin Yichao pushed open the door of the VIP room that was concealed. The girl who had just called him was indeed waiting inside.
She was Lin Yichao's ex-girlfriend, Fang Ning.
Fang Ning's elegant long hair and exquisite makeup, coupled with her elegant silk dress, made her look graceful.
Lin Yichao still remembered the first time he saw Fang Ning a few years ago. She still had short hair like a tomboy, wore loose pants, and a pair of horse boots. She wore a dirty and large T-shirt and played the electric guitar to her heart's content on the bar's stage.
However, today, when Fang Ning stood in front of him in such a stunning and quiet manner, Lin Yichao was at a loss for what to do.
"Long time no see. . . " Lin Yichao only found a suitable sentence after a long time.
Fang Ning smiled and nodded: "Yeah, it's been two years and seven months. "
"Why are you here? Aren't you. . . " Lin Yichao suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said that. He awkwardly shivered.
"You must have wanted to say that I don't like volleyball. Right? " Fang Ning asked back.
Looking at Lin Yichao's embarrassed expression, Fang Ning slowed down her tone and said softly, "Actually, our group sponsored this time's China International female rehearsal invitation competition. As a sponsor representative, I was invited by the organizers to watch the competition. To be honest, I didn't expect to see you here. You are now. . . A coach for China's female rehearsals? "
" That's right. . . Yes, I. . . . . . I am now working for China's female rehearsals. . . " Lin Yichao stammered as he answered. After hearing Fang Ning's words, he suddenly understood. He remembered that the title of the competition this time was "Shengzhong Cup. " It should be exclusively sponsored by Fang Ning's family business Shengzhong Group.
The smart Fang Ning read from Lin Yichao's expression that he suddenly realized something. She smiled and said, "It turns out that you haven't remembered the name of our family business. . . But it's also true. I understand. Back then, you didn't stay with me because of how rich my family was. Haha, At that time, you thought I was just a poor girl playing guitar in a bar. I also know, Later, even if we split up, it wasn't because of money. Actually, this is pretty good. It's not that complicated and realistic. . . At least after we break up, we can still be friends. Isn't that so?"
There was another short period of silence between the two of them.
Through the door of the VIP room, the majestic melody of The Brave Army's Advance was transmitted. This was the flag raising ceremony before the competition, indicating that the competition was about to begin.
"I heard that you retired from China's male platoon, so I was a little worried about you. " Fang Ning waited for the national anthem to finish playing, then said, "Seeing you work at China's women's row today, I know that you're doing well, so I'm happy for you. "
"Thank you for still thinking about me. But it looks like you. . . Are doing much better than me. " As Lin Yichao speaks, he smiles helplessly.
He thought, Fang Ning really didn't know that the coach of the China female volleyball was just a small, unknown position. Fang Ning seemed to have inherited a huge family business and had the appearance of an elite in the business world.
"En, after graduating from university, Father still advised me to return to the company to work. I don't want him to be sad. Anyway, in the four years of university. . . I've had enough fun. So. . . I'll just come back. Right now, I'm mainly responsible for the marketing of the entire group. Right, The competition is about to start, right? Then I won't delay your work anymore. My phone hasn't changed. It's a big deal, a small favor. If you need anything. . . You can look for me at any time. " Fang Ning said.
Lin Yichao nodded and walked out of the VIP room with Fang Ning. He pushed the door open and let Fang Ning go first.
"Yo, now you've learned to be humble and let girls go. " Fang Ning said it almost as if she was talking to herself, but this sentence. . . It seemed that she wanted to say it to Lin Yichao.
"When we watch the competition later," Lin Yichao said, "you can pay attention to Number 1. "
"Oh?" Fang Ning stopped and looked at Lin Yichao in surprise.
"Since you don't know much about volleyball, I suggest you pay more attention to the number one player of the China female volleyball team. Her name is Xia Zhi. " Lin Yichao said, "She has been training with me for the past few months. I believe that in the future, she will be the world's best female volleyball player!"
Fang Ning nodded, the corners of her mouth revealing a faint smile.
After entering the stadium, Lin Yichao was shocked by the regretful voices of the fans. Just now, The slam dunk of the Korean female volleyball, Jin Huiyan, broke through the net of the China female volleyball team. Xia Zhi, who was defending, had obviously not fully adapted to Jin Huiyan's slam dunk rhythm and speed. He had not been able to defend against this slam dunk. Even when the ball flew past her arm, Xia Zhi did not manage to react in time.
Hearing the referee's whistle, Xia Zhi was extremely vexed. He flung his arm out of thin air.
"Xia Zhi!" Lin Yichao stood outside the billboard at the side of the field and shouted loudly, "The competition has just begun, you can't be anxious!"
Xia Zhi seemed to have heard Lin Yichao's shout. She turned her head to look at the side of the field and nodded at Lin Yichao.
Lin Yichao saw Wei Xindi, who was sitting in the substitute coach seat, also turn his head to look at him.
Am I a bit "crossing the line?" Lin Yichao suddenly thought.
However, when he saw Wei Xindi silently give him a thumbs up, Lin Yichao relaxed.
At this time, the security personnel at the scene walked over and advised Lin Yichao to return to the stands and not shout from the side. Lin Yichao was embarrassed to apologize to the security personnel and only then did he let out a deep breath. He jogged up to the stands and watched the match attentively.
In the face of the Korean female lead, the starting lineup of the China female lead was full of hope, but it also made people feel a little nervous.
In the pre-game preparation meeting in the morning, when Wei Xindi announced that Xia Zhi and Wang Xiaoqing would be in charge of the main attack line, Fang Han and Xiao Xiao would be in the secondary attack line, Lu Ming would be the starter, Gu Weiyang would be the second-in-line, and Li Lin and Li Mengxi would be the two free men, no one was surprised.
After all, for the new episode of China's female rehearsals, this was basically a very strong and stable starter lineup that the coaching staff could arrange.
Compared to last year's China female volleyball, the new episode of China's female volleyball only retained Han Jiahui, Lu Ming, Li Lin, and Zhou Shuyao, the four Olympic veterans. Zhou Shuyao was in the midst of an active recovery because he had completed the cruciate ligament rupture surgery. Therefore, the starting lineup that the coaching staff had arranged. . . The starting lineup of the second female platoon in China last year was used as the base. Lu Ming and Li Lin were also arranged to be the starting lineup of the two old veterans. It could be said that they had already done their best to take into account the experience of old veterans and the impact of the newbies.
However, in front of the Korean female platoon led by Jin Huiyan, China's female platoon was still caught off guard by the opponent.
0 to 6!
When such a score was displayed on the big screen, the entire Yongdong Port Sports Center fell silent all of a sudden.
The fans seemed to have forgotten to cheer and cheer. The thousands of eyes of the audience looked at the China female volleyball coaches' seats. Everyone felt that the China female volleyball should be suspended or replaced.
However, whether it was the head coach, Zhenguang Xu, or the executive coach, Xindi Wei, they all seemed to be sitting on the fishing platform. They probably hoped that the young members could find a solution to the problem as soon as possible with the help of the old members.
Gu Weiyang looked at the end of summer. Xia Zhi seemed to be very unconvinced as well. She bit her lips tightly and stared unblinkingly at Jin Huiyan on the other side of the net.
"Little Superman," Gu Weiyang shouted loudly, "Next attack, prepare well!"
Xia Zhi turned his head to look at Gu Weiyang. Although he didn't say anything, he used a firm gaze to answer Gu Weiyang.
South Korea female volleyball, Li Lin's pass was very stable.
Gu Weiyang and Fang Han gave each other a look. Fang Han understood tacitly and lightly shouted. She jumped high in front of the net and waved her arms.
Fang Han's realistic fake moves attracted all the defenders in front of the Korean female volleyball net. After all, any team's defender wouldn't dare to be careless when facing a two-meter tall vice-offensive player.
At this moment, the empty space in front of Xia Zhi suddenly became clear.
Gu Weiyang The strong pass was fast and flat, not as high as the pass point given to Jin Huiyan by the South Korean female volleyball second.
It was precisely because the pass point was low that the ball Gu Weiyang gave Xia Zhi was faster and caught the Korean female volleyball off guard.
"Good ball!" Lin Yichao subconsciously shouted from the stands.
After so many days, Lin Yichao had brought Xia Zhi and Gu Weiyang to repeatedly practice the slam dunk in the fourth position.
In Lin Yichao's eyes, Xia Zhi's height was no different from Jin Huiyan's. Not to mention the South Korean female volleyball team in Asia, even in front of other female football teams in the world, Xia Zhi still had a considerable tennis advantage.
However, if Xia Zhi was only able to play high at the tennis entrance, it would undoubtedly be a great waste of Xia Zhi's potential.
Xia Zhi's reaction speed was quite fast, and he also had sufficient strength. These physical conditions could support her to complete a series of extremely complicated technical movements. As a tall female platoon main attacker, if Xia Zhi's flexible wrist could bring about a variety of attacking routes, At the same time, she also had a faster attacking speed, so she had a reason to become the next "world's number one main attacker".
Gu Weiyang's ball was already right in front of Xia Zhi's eyes.
Jin Huiyan, who had a clear tactical awareness, shouted at the South Korean female volleyball's secondary attacker, Li Xiuzhi, reminding her and the second player, Liang Duoying, to pay attention to defending against Xia Zhi.
However, it was already too late as she spoke.
Xia Zhi's slam dunk seemed to be slightly lighter than Jin Huiyan's, but the volleyball flew at an extremely fast speed towards the empty space behind the Korean female volleyball's three-meter line.
Not to mention Li Xiuzhi and Liang Duoying who were in the front row of the Korean female volleyball to block the net, even the free man at the back of the Korean female volleyball, Li Heilan, did not have a precise position.
Xia Zhi swiftly completed the slam dunk. The moment he landed on the ground, he waved his arm once again. This time, she was celebrating excitedly.
All of the China fans in the stadium burst into thunderous cheers.
"Wow, Sister Xia Zhi's slam dunk is too beautiful. " Mo Xiaoyu held her chin in her hand and exclaimed.
Lin Yichao turned his head to look at her and said, "How is it, little girl? Do you want to learn this move? I'll teach you during training tomorrow morning. "
" Sure! Okay!" Mo Xiaoyu happily grabbed onto Lin Yichao's arm and shook it.
1: 6!
After the extremely passive opening, the China female platoon finally got the first point.
