C52 Volume 12 Xia Zhi

Xia Zhi himself did not think that ever since she got first place for the Chinese female platoon in the first round, the China female platoon had lost points again. In this round, the China female lead had already fallen behind by 12 to 2 points.

Zhenguang Xu slowly pressed the beep button next to the coach's seat. The beep made a short sound that echoed in the almost completely silent Yong Dong Hong Kong Sports Center Competition Center.

"China requested the first pause. " The DJ on the scene announced.

Xia Zhi followed his teammates back to the side of the field and took a sip of water from his teammates.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Xu Zhenguang's voice was very calm, and there was no change in his expression.

"Did you not get used to the rhythm of the match, or. . . " Xu Zhenguang looked at the team members in front of him and asked, "Are you afraid of being beaten by Jin Huiyan?"

Xia Zhi shuddered. She looked up and saw Xu Zhenguang looking at her.

"No. . . We are not afraid of her!" Xia Zhi answered loudly.

Xu Zhenguang nodded approvingly at Xia Zhi and asked, "What about the others?"

"We are not afraid!" Everyone shouted.

"Sigh, then that's right!" Xu Zhenguang said. "Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of. Jin Huiyan seemed to be very fierce in her slam dunk and serve. However, during this period of training, the coach had simulated her technical characteristics and everyone had done the confrontation training. Let me tell you, Coach Xiao Lin's slam dunk is much better than Jin Huiyan's. Aren't you still able to block and defend against it?"

Even though Xu Zhenguang's words were only a few words, it caused the members of the team to feel enlightened all of a sudden.

A short pause of a minute passed, and then it arrived. Seeing that everyone was preparing to walk back onto the field, Wei Xindi quietly pulled Xia Zhi by the side.

"Xia Zhi. . . " Wei Xindi asked with concern, "The South Korean female volleyball players all looked for you at this point. Can you handle it? Do you need to take your place in a few rounds at the back? "

Xia Zhi widened his eyes and looked at Wei Xindi, as if he was surprised and aggrieved by her words.

"Sis, you don't believe me?" Xia Zhi replied with a question.

"Of course not!" Wei Xindi looked into Xia Zhi's eyes and said seriously. "I hope that you can get more training and grow faster in competitions with great pressure, but I don't want you to suffer too much pressure. Now, the pressure from your first pass is already very great. Although there's still a little bit more to your limit. . . So, I want to ask how you feel. "

Xia Zhi understood Wei Xindi's true thoughts.

"Sis, I can do it! Let me do it again! " Xia Zhi said firmly.

"Okay! I believe you!" Wei Xindi patted Xia Zhi's back. "Good luck, Little Superman!"

Returning to the field, Xia Zhi's heart sank.

She looked at her teammates beside her, everyone's eyes filled with determination.

She then looked at her opponent on the other side of the net. Jin Huiyan was standing not far from the net.

Jin Huiyan noticed that Xia Zhi was looking at her. She smiled at Xia Zhi.

Jin Huiyan's smile stunned Xia Zhi.

Since young, even without the special request of the coach, Xia Zhi would still observe every opponent in the competition seriously. Xia Zhi always felt that not only did she have to discover the shortcomings of her opponent, but she also had to discover the strengths of her opponent. Then, she could think of ways to turn the strengths of her opponent into her strengths.

Often, when the opponent's players discovered that Xia Zhi was observing them, some people would not have any obvious reactions, while others would turn around. Some would even glare at Summer. Of course, this did not mean that the opponent was not friendly enough. After all, they were friends on the field, but they were rivals on the field. There was no need to be too polite.

Hence, Jin Huiyan was the first to discover that Xia Zhi was looking at her, but she returned the favor. She smiled at Xia Zhi's opponent.

Xia Zhi understood that Jin Huiyan's smile reflected her professionalism as a world-class football star. It also came from Jin Huiyan's confidence in her own strength. An excellent player absolutely did not need to use any intense words or exaggerated expressions or physical movements to show that he had the upper hand. They could use their own strength to defeat their opponent in a match and make their opponent convinced. That was enough.

Thank you, Jin Huiyan. Xia Zhi thought to himself. This is a very valuable lesson that you have taught me in this competition.

The referee whistled and the match began again.

"Little bunny, give me the ball!" Xia Zhi shouted.

Gu Weiyang didn't say anything, only using her eyes to respond.

"Pa!"

Along with the sound of the volleyball hitting the ground, Xia Zhi thought that this was today's second ball!

China's female volleyball's serve wheel.

Xia Zhi's gaze was fixed on Jin Huiyan. In Xia Zhi's eyes, the number "10" on Jin Huiyan's jersey was the only target.

"Little Lion, pay attention to number 10!" Xia Zhi shouted.

Fang Han nodded and bit her lips. Xia Zhi took a step forward and jumped up side by side with Fang Han. . .

"Dong!"

Jin Huiyan's attack was firmly blocked by the two girls with the tallest figures in China.

In the sports center of Yongdong Port, the enthusiasm of the fans in China was once again ignited.

The following match practically became the double performance of Xia Zhi and Jin Huiyan. Jin Huiyan successfully attacked from the fourth position, and Xia Zhi returned the favor in the next round. Jin Huiyan's first attack was blocked, so she would definitely return to the defensive area and block her position, waiting to defend against Xia Zhi's attack.

It could be said that in the following 20 minutes, Xia Zhi only had Jin Huiyan in his eyes, while Jin Huiyan only had Xia Zhi in her eyes.

A melodious final whistle sounded.

Xia Zhi, who was still unsatisfied, watched as Jin Huiyan scored the final goal of this round. She was somewhat vexed and unwilling. However, Xia Zhi knew that this round was over.

Jin Huiyan smiled at her again. However, after laughing, Jin Huiyan shook her head.

Xia Zhi was stunned. She looked around and realized that Gu Weiyang, Fang Han, Xiao Xiao, Li Mengxi and Wang Xiaoqing's teammates were all dejected. Lu Ming and Li Lin were hugging the shoulders of their young teammates as they comforted them with good words.

Weren't they doing pretty well!? As Xia Zhi thought about it, he subconsciously looked at the big screen on the wall.

14 to 25. China's female platoon lost the first round.

"Summer's Day. . . " Wei Xindi walked over and softly said, "Don't just stand there, we're exchanging places. "

"Sis, why is it this score!" Xia Zhi said in a daze.

Wei Xindi pulled Xia Zhi to the other side of the field as he said, "I can tell that you didn't expect the first round's score to be like this. It's because you think you did well. Isn't that right? "

Xia Zhi nodded.

"You scored 11 points in the first round. Your performance was very eye-catching. " Wei Xindi said, "But what about the other teammates?"

Xia Zhi looked at Wei Xindi in shock and replied in a low voice, "Everyone only got 3 points! This. . . How could this be! "

Wei Xindi nodded and said, "The second half of the first round, You've completely opened it, and your scoring efficiency is very high. However. . . You've only relied on your own abilities to almost guarantee all the opportunities to attack. You get one point, you get one point, you get one point, you get one point, you get one point, you get one point, you get one point. Jin Huiyan got one point, China's female platoon got one point. Our opponent also gets one point. . . But you forgot, we are already behind by 10 points in the first half of the game. If we want to win, Not only do we need to score ourselves, we also need to suppress the opponent's score. Xia Zhi, Everyone calls you 'Little Superman' because your ability is indeed outstanding. However, if you want to help everyone win the ball, Can't you play the lone hero on the field by yourself! "

Hearing Wei Xindi's words, Xia Zhi understood.

On the other side, Xu Zhenguang had already arranged the tactics for the next round with the other team members. Seeing Xia Zhi walk over with Wei Xindi, Xu Zhenguang kindly said to Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, This was only the first round, the second round of the next round. I believe you will cooperate better with your teammates. Remember, you have to make the final decision. You will have to rely on the combined efforts of all your teammates to win the game!"

Xia Zhi looked at his teammates in front of him. The young man's face was no longer filled with helplessness and unwillingness. His old teammates gave her more encouraging looks.

Xia Zhi stretched out his arm and placed it in front of his teammates.

Gu Weiyang understood and placed her hand on Xia Zhi's hand. Following that was Lu Ming, Fang Han, Xiao Xiao, Wang Xiaoqing. Li Lin and Li Mengxi. Yuan Jun, Xiong Xin, Huang Yiming, Song Siming, Li Xuantong, and Liu Qin, who had yet to go on stage, also stretched out their hands. Finally, Wei Xindi and Xu Zhenguang placed their hands on the top of the stage.

"Good luck!" Everyone shouted in unison.

In the second round of the competition, Xia Zhi had indeed stopped focusing all his attention on Jin Huiyan alone. She truly calmed her heart down and received the six rounds of the first exchange. She saw that Gu Weiyang would be able to create more opportunities for the other attackers to attack.

Wang Xiaoqing's explosive slam dunk, Fang Han's high point offense, Xiao Xiao's fast tennis ball in front of her net, and the variety of slam dunk in Lu Ming's Hundred Transformations made the China female volleyball sweep away the first round of the second round of the game.

In the stands, the cheers of the fans went on and on like a wave.

Xia Zhi noticed that in this game, Jin Huiyan's attack efficiency was still very high, but the score of the Korean female volleyball had always fallen behind, falling behind. Xia Zhi thought about it. He had only scored five or six points in this game, but as long as he won, that was the most important!

25 to 20, 25 to 21, the China female volleyball had won two rounds in a row.

"Ladies, don't be careless!" Before the fourth round was about to begin. . . Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Zhenguang had finished arranging his tactics, he seized the opportunity to say to everyone, "The Korean female platoon definitely has more than just this little bit of energy. In the fourth round, they will fight with their backs against the water. Instead, it might be a very difficult round for us. Everyone must concentrate and continue to defend against Jin Huiyan. In terms of offense. . . "

As Wei Xindi spoke, he glanced at Xu Zhenguang.

The old marshal nodded.

"Junjun!" Wei Xindi shouted at Yuan Jun, "If you switch out with your Sister Ming for this round, go on stage and fight!"

"Yes!" Yuan Jun agreed. She was a little surprised, but she was also filled with joy.

Lu Ming also agreed and struck Yuan Jun with his palm.

Wei Xindi looked at Xia Zhi again.

"Little Superman, after Junjun went on stage, the pressure on your first pass increased even more. So, you have to work harder for this round!" Wei Xindi said.

Xia Zhi clenched his fists.

"Let's go on stage!" Wei Xindi said to everyone.

The fourth match was indeed as Wei Xindi had said. It was a very difficult match.

Although Yuan Jun's appearance as the second-in-line attendant increased the height of the China female platoon's network and their three-dimensional offensive strength, the overall youth still caused the China female platoon to be under the fierce assault of the opponent. The connection and the small ball were not stable enough in all aspects.

Fortunately, although their opponents were slightly more experienced in the Korean female platoon, they were still relying too much on Jin Huiyan as an attacker on the offensive side. The strengths and weaknesses of both teams were so obvious. Therefore, the score between the China and South Korea female volleylines had been stuck and glued since the start of the game. . .

Jin Huiyan scored another slam dunk, bringing the score to 22: 22.

Gu Weiyang called Yuan Jun and Xia Zhi in front of her.

"Little Superman, Junjun. . . " Gu Weiyang said, her chest heaving up and down. It was clear that such an intense battle had consumed too much of her stamina, as she was constantly running and jumping.

"We have to do our best in our next attack. I feel that we need a simpler and more efficient assault to be effective. " Gu Weiyang looked at the two of them and spoke as quickly as possible.

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Little rabbit, how do you think we should fight?"

"We'll attack with three points in the next ball. I think it'll be the two of you. Don't worry about the rest. All you need to do is jump in the most comfortable place, and I'll pass the ball to one of you. " Gu Weiyang said.

Xia Zhi and Yuan Jun looked at each other. They both felt that Gu Weiyang's suggestion was too bold.

However, Xia Zhi and Yuan Jun also suddenly understood. If they didn't even know which point the second pass would send, then it would be even harder for their opponents to determine.

"Alright, I understand!" Yuan Jun nodded.

"You're the second generation," Xia Zhi said. "We'll listen to you!"

"Okay!" The three of them exchanged glances and walked back to their respective positions, waiting in formation.

At the critical stage of the draw, the Korean female volleyball players also became cautious. The vegetable ball sent out by the deputy Han Xiaozhen was steadily picked up by the China female volleyball freeman, Li Lin.

Gu Weiyang agilely took a step forward. From the back row, she acutely noticed that the defense team member in front of the Korean female volleyball net was looking at Xia Zhi.

"Got it!" Gu Weiyang thought. Jumping up, a beautiful backpass, the volleyball quickly flew towards the second position.

Yuan Jun's body and arms had already stretched out, and the ball was neatly caught in her space.

The volleyball landed on the ground in front of Jin Huiyan, and after rebounding, Jin Huiyan caught it in her arms.

She smiled bitterly in annoyance, but she did not casually throw the ball to the outside world. Instead, she politely tossed the ball to the little caddy waiting at the side of the court.

Xia Zhi saw all of this and remembered it.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqing preparing to serve the ball, Gu Weiyang pulled Xia Zhi and Yuan Jun to a small meeting once again.

"Let's play defensively next. I feel that as long as we defend against Jin Huiyan's slam, we will definitely have a chance. I think they will guess that our defense against defense is going to be attacked by the main force. So, little Superman, if possible, I'll continue to pass it to Junjun to attack from the second position. Do you think it'll work? " Gu Weiyang said.

Xia Zhi nodded: "Don't worry, little rabbit! I'll make the fake movements look real and cover for Junjun! "

"Alright!" Gu Weiyang said, "Then it's a deal. "

Yuan Jun also looked gratefully at Xia Zhi. Although the two of them didn't say anything else, they had already understood each other's feelings.

As expected, Gu Weiyang didn't guess wrong. The South Korean female volleyball once again gave the opportunity to Jin Huiyan.

In the back row of the China female volleyball was another young free man, Li Mengxi. Xia Zhi watched as Little potato gritted his teeth and desperately picked up Jin Huiyan's slam dunk. . .

We can't waste the opportunity that our teammates have put together! As Xia Zhi thought about it, he followed the strategy that Midnight had set up and charged towards the tennis entrance.

About nine meters away from her, Yuan Jun was also in position almost at the same time.

Xia Zhi's gaze collided with Gu Weiyang's.

It was now! As Xia Zhi thought about it, he perfectly made a slam dunk motion. In that instant, she even felt as if there was really a volleyball in her hands that she was going to slam down heavily.

However, the volleyball still appeared in the second position, almost at the exact same position as the previous ball.

Yuan Jun scored with a slam dunk!

24 to 22!

China's female volleyball was still one step away from victory.

"Daqing, let's go for the next serve!" Wei Xindi walked to the side of the court and shouted at Wang Xiaoqing, who was standing at the bottom line.

Hearing Wei Xindi's arrangement of serve tactics, Gu Weiyang once again ran to the front of the net to communicate his thoughts with a few attackers.

"If we still have a chance to counterattack with this ball, I'm guessing the Korean female volleyball is going to intercept Junjun. " Gu Weiyang looked at Xia Zhi. "Little Superman, the chance to make the final call is up to you!"

"Do your best!" Yuan Jun patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder, her eyes filled with trust.

Wang Xiaoqing's jump serve was very high quality. Although the Korean female volleyball freeman Li Helan was ahead of her, the ball still flew straight towards the second position of the tennis court.

The Korean female volleyball's second pass, Liang Duoying, jumped up in front of the net. He stretched out his arm high and wanted to use one hand to adjust the ball back. However, it was too late.

She saw a figure flying up from the other side of the net. Liang Duoying could only retract her neck, bow down, and avoid the head sticking attack of the China female volleyball attacker.

"Pa!"

Xia Zhi pulled out a nearly perfect line.

However, the entire sports center of Yongdong Port was silent.

Jin Huiyan was still in a defensive position as she stood in the middle of the field. Just now, Xia Zhi's slam dunk brushed past her body and flew out of the world.

The Korean female volleyball players stretched out their arms at the same time, gesturing for her to slam the ball out of the field. The main referee hesitated and tried to make the judgment of China's female volleyball slam dunk out of the world.

"That's not right!" Gu Weiyang jumped up anxiously and shouted, "Xia Zhi's ball clearly grazed Jin Huiyan's arm!"

Xu Zhenguang and Wei Xindi also stood up from the coaching stands at the same time. However, they understood that according to the rules, even if this ball was requested to be replayed, it could only be used to see if the ball was out of bounds and could not be chosen to hit the defender's body.

"Xia Zhi, your ball touched her. . . Right? " Gu Weiyang shouted at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi nodded.

As the captain of the field, Gu Weiyang jogged over to the main referee and used English to negotiate with him.

However, the ball was too fast, so the main referee couldn't change his judgment based on the opinions of the female platoon members.

At this moment, Jin Huiyan walked towards the referee. She was the captain of the Korean female platoon, and according to the rules, she had the right to communicate with the referee.

The young members of the China female platoon all looked at Jin Huiyan.

Gu Weiyang frowned as she looked at Jin Huiyan. She felt that Jin Huiyan was a world-class football star. The main referee would probably believe what she said and judge Xia Zhi to throw the ball.

So, Gu Weiyang made up her mind that once Jin Huiyan said the word "out of bounds," she would definitely argue with Jin Huiyan to the end.

"Mr. Referee," Jin Huiyan walked up to the referee and looked up at the main referee from Turkey. She wiped her left arm and said, "This ball did touch my arm. "

The main referee seemed to feel that the ball had touched his arm. He bent down on the high chair and stared into Jin Huiyan's eyes. Surprised, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Jin Huiyan nodded.

At this moment, Gu Weiyang, who had heard every word Jin Huiyan said, was also astonished.

The main referee stood up with a smile and made a gesture of a China female volleyball scoring gesture. At the same time, he blew the whistle in his mouth.

The entire audience of China's fans cheered.

Xia Zhi did not have time to celebrate his victory with his teammates. She stood in front of the net and looked through the net to see the other side of the tennis court. Jin Huiyan, who had returned to the bench, helplessly shook her head and bowed deeply to her teammates.

Even if she couldn't hear what Jin Huiyan said, Xia Zhi would have guessed that Jin Huiyan was apologizing to her teammates, not because she had told the main referee the truth. It was because she didn't defend against Xia Zhi's headshot.

"Xia Zhi. . . "

Xia Zhi turned his head and found that Wei Xindi had walked to her side again.

"If it was you just now," Wei Xindi asked Xia Zhi, "would you confess to the main referee that the ball touched the boundary of your body? After all, this point determined the outcome of the team. "

Xia Zhi looked at Wei Xindi, unable to answer.

"I know that you've learned a lot from that world's top player. That's enough. Keep going, our little Superman! " Wei Xindi smiled and patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder as he spoke. He then gestured towards the net.

It turned out that the Korean female platoon members had already lined up neatly and were ready to shake hands with the China female platoon after the match.

"You played very well!" Jin Huiyan spoke in English and extended her hand to Xia Zhi. The two of them shook hands across the tennis net.

"Thank you!" Xia Zhi said, "I told the referee the truth. "

"Because of the last ball? Haha, no need to be polite. " Jin Huiyan said, "Regardless of the outcome of the match, the most important thing is fairness! However, in the next match, I won't give you the chance to hit your head again. "
