C57 Volume 17 Wei Xindi

Standing in front of the luggage conveyor belt at Runzhou International Airport, Wei Xindi could only feel his physical exhaustion and mental relaxation intertwining. This kind of complicated feeling made her unable to say whether she was tired or relaxed.

After nearly a month of transfer and war, China's female volleyball finally ended this year's World female volleyball competition and returned to China.

On the overall standings ranking of the standings, this young China female volleyball, which had only lost to the American female volleyball and Brazilian female volleyball, was actually ranked third on the entire team.

This result was not only out of the expectations of many fans, but also out of the expectations of the China female volleyball coaches and athletes.

Originally, everyone thought that this young team would be able to train more in this season's world female volleyball league and see their opponents. After all, their more important task was to strive to enter the top three in the World Cup at the end of the year and obtain the qualification to participate in next year's Olympic Games.

In fact, this ranking had no effect on China's female volleyball team participating in the World Championship finals held in the local Runzhou region a week later. Because, as the host of the finals, China's female volleyball naturally obtained an entrance ticket to the finals.

According to the rules, the team that obtained the top five in the overall stand-off would participate in the finals together with the host. Serbia's female volleyball was originally ranked sixth. However, as China's female volleyball was also ranked in the top five, this meant that. . . They would be competing with America, Brazil, Italy, Russia and China for the championship of the World Women's Racing League.

The outstanding results in the set-ups could not help but fill the outside world with anticipation that the China female racers would return to their hometowns to participate in the World Women's Racing Championship finals. However, for Wei Xindi, the competition held in Runzhou was truly a competition held at home.

His father, who hadn't seen him for more than half a year, had long since been eager to watch his daughter lead the team to participate in the competition. When he thought of this, Wei Xindi couldn't help but laugh.

However, to strive for good results in the finals this time, although it was said to be simple, it wasn't easy to do it.

He only lost two matches in the set-ups that lasted for a month. It was indeed a proud result. After half a year of hard training, the young players, including Xia Zhi, had made significant progress in their skills. It was also a fact that everyone was happy to see.

However, Wei Xindi understood in his heart that the reason this young team could be ranked third in the world female volleyball league, where the strong players were as strong as Lin, was because of this. It was also because the strong teams in the world were not familiar with the newbies who had just emerged from the China Women's Racing League this year. They were still not used to the new style and fighting style of the new China female platoon that had changed its original technical characteristics.

However, after a round of "understanding," presumably, the world's elite regiments had a new understanding of the new episode of China's female rehearsals. Whether the girls could still continue their outstanding performance in the grand finals was something that even Xu Zhenguang did not have full confidence in, let alone Wei Xindi.

And there was also bad news about China's female rehearsals. In the last week's world female volleyball league, China's Macau station, the old free man Li Lin accidentally injured his cervical vertebra in the competition. She had already directly returned from Macau to Beijing for consultation.

In this finals, Li Lin would definitely not be able to catch up. Wei Xindi was now looking forward to her recovery and comeback in the World Women's Racing Cup two months later.

The luggage conveyor belt in front of him did not move for a long time. Wei Xindi could not help but feel irritated. She subconsciously kicked the luggage cart lightly and turned her head only to find Xia Zhi, Fang Han, Li Mengxi, Xiao Xiao and Mo Xiaoyu surrounding Gu Weiyang. As they looked at Gu Weiyang's cell phone, they chattered non-stop as though they were in high spirits.

The girls must be watching some variety show in high spirits. Wei Xindi thought as he walked over. He was also very curious as to what the team members were watching.

But when she got closer, she realized that everyone was watching a volleyball game video.

"Wow, this free man is too awesome!" Fang Han subconsciously shouted.

"What do you think, Little potato? Who do you think is better between you and her?" Xiao Xiao asked Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi could not accept it and chuckled. However, after some thought, she said, "Our styles are different. . . Do you know that? A different style!"

"Girls, what are you looking at?" Wei Xindi asked.

When Gu Weiyang saw Wei Xindi come over, she quickly handed her phone to her and played it from the top of her head.

This was a highlight of the National University Female Racing Championship. The main character was a free player. In a short three-minute video, The free player was moving around in the court, jumping and saving people, and his performance was quite spectacular and beautiful. What made Wei Xindi's eyes light up was that. . . Not only was this player extremely skilled in defense, but he was also very bold. Almost many of the first passes adopted the method of starting up to serve. He was indeed unique among the domestic female volleyball players.

"Where did you find this video?" Wei Xindi asked Gu Weiyang curiously.

Gu Weiyang widened her eyes and asked: "Sis, you haven't seen this video? Now, this video is very popular on the internet! The netizens even gave this free person a nickname, calling her 'Undying Bird'. . . "

" Yo, she's that amazing. She's a university student, right? Where is she from? " Wei Xindi's heart skipped a beat as he asked.

"Hey, Sis. What a coincidence!" Gu Weiyang said proudly, "She's from Binhai University. I heard from Little Hui that. . . Her name is Qin Mowen. She's in her fourth year this year. She was a free man at Binhai University's female rehearsal. In this season's National University Female Racing Championship, Binhai University's results were exceptionally good. Qin Mowen's performance had played a significant role. This video was made by Xiao Hui and a few other people from the school's volleyball team. Next time you go to Binhai City, I'll ask Xiao Hui to call her out and have a seat with you. Please give her some pointers as well. "

Wei Xindi nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he earnestly watched the video from beginning to end.

As he spoke, the luggage was finally transported one by one from the conveyor belt. The team members and coaches quickly packed their luggage. Xu Zhenguang and Huang Runze, the two old marshals, could no longer endure the addiction of long-distance flying. After greeting each other, they first went to the door to smoke, while Wei Xindi walked out with the team members.

Outside the luggage collection area, there were many people waiting for the arrival of the plane. They saw a large group of tall girls pushing their luggage carts out. Someone recognized that it was the China women's row, which attracted a lot of people to watch and take pictures. There were even media outlets waiting at the airport who rushed over and pulled the team members over to interview them.

Wei Xindi was glad that there were no reporters pulling her to be their interview partner. He turned his head and saw a familiar face looking at her in the crowd.

"Dad!" Wei Xindi shouted, but he did not care too much. He immediately threw himself over the railing and hugged his father, Wei Jianguo, tightly.

"Dad, why are you here?" Wei Xindi said softly. "The airport is so far away from home. Didn't I tell you not to come and pick me up? After I settle down with the team, I'll find time to go home and see you. This time, we will be staying in Runzhou for about ten days. "

Being hugged by his daughter in front of so many people, apart from feeling happy, Wei Jianguo actually felt a little embarrassed.

He let Wei Xindi walk out from the railing. Only then did he carefully look at his daughter, whom he had not seen for more than half a year. As he said, "This retired old man of mine is alone at home and has nothing to do. He slowly strolled over to see you. I'll also let you look at me. Relax. I know you're very busy with work, so I came back this time for the competition. The national team, the national team. . . They represent the country, so the national team's work is of course the most important. Look at my tough body, Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry about it. Put all your energy into your work. "

Hearing his father say this, Wei Xindi felt a little sour in his nose.

Although his father, who was in his sixties, was full of energy, his sideburns were already as white as snow. Wei Xindi's mother had passed away when she was very young, and his father had painstakingly raised her up. But after Wei Xindi became a professional athlete, he left home and lived independently for more than 20 years. Only his father was left in the family.

Although his father said "everything is fine," Wei Xindi knew that his father had to be the enemy of loneliness and loneliness in his life. But she couldn't do anything about it. Just like her father had said, since she was now the national team's coach, She had to keep everything on the national team above her "small family" at all times.

At this time, the team members who were pushing the luggage carts came out one after another. As the vice-captain, Gu Weiyang, who was the first to walk, had long seen Wei Xindi hugging Wei Jianguo intimately. She stopped in her tracks and sincerely bowed to Wei Jianguo, saying loudly, "Hello, uncle!"

Xia Zhi, Fang Han, Xiao Xiao, Li Mengxi and Yuan Jun, Wang Xiaoqing, Song Siming, Xiong Xin, Lin Yan and Huang Yimeng, Li Xuantong, Liu Qin, Mo Xiaoyu, Han Jiahui and Lu Ming, who were behind her, also greeted Wei Jianguo.

"Hello, Uncle!"

"Hello, Uncle!"

"Hello, Uncle Wei!"

. . .

All of a sudden, the entire Runzhou Airport's lobby became lively.

Many spectators did not know why these star players from China's female volleyball would bow and greet Wei Jianguo, an old man who was slightly tall but did not look like much. They all discussed and guessed who this old man was.

However, the reporters were sensitive to the news. No matter what kind of story this old man had with the female racers, the scene itself was a piece of news! They were all fighting to be the first to take the lead. They used cameras, cameras, and phones to take pictures of this rare flower.

Wei Jianguo was also a little excited. As he waved to his team members, he asked Wei Xindie in a trembling voice, "They. . . Are all your team members?"

"Dad, they are all members of China's female platoon!" Wei Xindi looked at the girls and said meaningfully.

He told his team members to go with the staff members of the organizing committee to find the bus and load their luggage first. Wei Xindi also said goodbye to his father reluctantly.

"Dad!" Wei Xindi said, "I'll definitely go home when I have time!"

Wei Jianguo smiled and said, "Alright, when you have time to come back, you must tell me in advance. I will cook your favorite braised fish, lion head, and dried shredded soup for you. . . Alright, hurry up and look for your team members. Dad will be relieved to see you once. . . "

Wei Xindi nodded and suppressed his reluctance to part. He buried his head in the box and walked towards the entrance of the airport. Although he knew that his father was still standing in the airport lobby looking at him, Wei Xindi did not dare to look back. She could only walk faster and faster, because she knew that if she looked back, her tears would fall uncontrollably.

Apart from homesickness, Wei Xindi, who returned to his hometown, was still happier than going to other cities to compete. On the bus, Wei Xindi actually chatted non-stop with his team members. Seeing that they were almost at the hotel, Xu Zhenguang suddenly turned his head and said to Wei Xindi, "Little Wei, get off the bus later. I have a surprise for you!"

"Surprise?" Wei Xindi was surprised.

"I think. . . It should be a surprise. " Xu Zhenguang said.

At this time, the bus stopped. Wei Xindi followed Xu Zhenguang out of the bus. Through the glass door of the hotel, he saw the director of the National Sports Bureau's volleyball center, Chen Jiaxiang, standing in the lobby of the hotel, waiting to welcome the team. Next to Chen Jiaxiang stood a tall girl wearing a Chinese female volleyball T-shirt.

"Shuyao!" Wei Xindi blurted out.

She immediately understood what Xu Zhenguang meant by surprise!

"Sis, you missed me so much!" Zhou Shuyao said as he took two steps forward. He wanted to snatch her suitcase from Wei Xindi's hands, but he refused to let Zhou Shuyao carry her suitcase.

"Sis, you still don't trust me," Zhou Shuyao said happily. "Look, my knees are so nimble!"

Wei Xindi nodded.

Half a month ago, Old Wu had finished assisting Zhou Shuyao in his rehabilitation work. Before leaving China, she had already sent an email to Wei Xindi. From Old Wu's detailed introduction, Wei Xindi understood that after Zhou Shuyao's arduous recovery over the past few months, the recovery of his knee injuries was already quite ideal. He could return to the team at the right time. However, according to Old Wu's description, Zhou Shuyao's knee had not fully recovered to the degree of "dexterity" as she had said. Old Wu did not mention that Zhou Shuyao could make a comeback in the finals of the World Championship. In his opinion, he would need to rest for another month. Maybe it would be better for Zhou Shuyao if he made a comeback before the World Series Cup. . .

Wei Xindi did not want to expose Zhou Shuyao's happy expression. He just put his arm around Zhou Shuyao's shoulder and asked her about the rehabilitation training with Old Wu in detail.

"Little Wei," Xu Zhenguang shouted from the side. "It'll be hard on you later. Put down your luggage and go to Director Chen's room with 828 luggage. Let's have a small meeting. "

"Sis, then you can have a meeting with Director Xu and Director Chen first. I'll let you see the results of my rehabilitation training tomorrow morning. " Zhou Shuyao said.

"Okay, Shuyao, take it slow," Wei Xindi said. "Don't worry. "

Upon hearing Wei Xindi's words, Zhou Shuyao was stunned, but he still smiled.

. . .

When Wei Xindi arrived at Chen Jiaxiang's room, she already understood why Xu Zhenguang was in such a hurry to suggest a small meeting with the three of them.

"The results of Li Lin's consultation are out," Xu Zhenguang frowned and said, "The situation is not optimistic. The experts suggest that she should perform the surgery immediately, or else. . . There will be endless troubles in the future. "

"In that case, Big Li might not be able to play this season. . . Including the World Championship of the Female Races?" Wei Xindi asked in surprise.

Xu Zhenguang did not say anything, but Chen Jiaxiang nodded and said, "From the perspective of the athlete's health and personal safety, the China Orderly Association has decided to invite the best experts in the country to perform surgery for Li Lin. They hope that she can recover soon. "

Although this was bad news for the China female platoon, Wei Xindi did not feel like the sky was falling. After all, after half a year of training, "Little potato" Li Mengxi's abilities and skills had improved by a large margin compared to last year. Even if she was the only free person in the entire team, Li Mengxi was already capable of holding her own.

"Let's put Li Lin's matters aside for now. I'll invite Director Xu and you over. There's also another important matter that I would like to hear the opinions of the two of you. " Chen Jiaxiang said.

Seeing Wei Xindi's puzzled expression, Chen Jiaxiang continued, "Old Xu had spoken to me earlier. He felt that you could lead the team in the finals this time. As for the members, he suggested letting Xia Zhi, Fang Han, Wang Xiaoqing, and Gu Weiyang's main team members take turns. To better prepare for the Women's Row World Cup. At the same time, let the other substitutes with potential and Zhou Shuyao, who had recovered from his injuries, be the main players in the finals. They could be further inspected. It's also a rare opportunity for them to train in actual combat. After all, we still have 17 members in our team. Only 14 athletes can sign up for the World Cup. . . "

Chen Jiaxiang's words were very clear, but Wei Xindi still felt shocked.

The suggestion to let the substitutes play in the finals was actually from Xu Zhenguang. At that time, the old marshal had even frowned and told Wei Xindi this idea. Although it was beneficial for China's female rehearsals to arrange the preparation for the World Cup, it was still too bold.

In Xu Zhenguang's view, on one hand, China's female rehearsals were taking part in the finals in the home country of Runzhou. Regardless of whether it was the local organizers or fans, they definitely hoped that China's female rehearsals would be able to strive for a good result at home. To fight for the honor of Runzhou. On the other hand, the International volleyball Association naturally hoped that China's female volleyball would be the host of this finals. To be able to perform well and drive the local soccer market and box office. Then, they would increase the influence of the International volleyball League in China. Moreover, the China female volleyball event had never been held in such an important world competition in China. Sending a substitute to play the main role. . .

However, after hearing Chen Jiaxiang's words today, Wei Xindi knew that Xu Zhenguang, who had held back his opinion on her suggestion at that time, had repeatedly pondered and finally understood her bold idea.

Wei Xindi also understood that Xu Zhenguang had told Chen Jiaxiang this was his suggestion. Not mentioning it was Wei Xindi's idea, and it was definitely not Xu Zhenguang's idea to "snatch credit. " It was because he wanted to protect him. At the same time, he might be able to convince Chen Jiaxiang with this unprecedented bold suggestion. Thinking of this, Wei Xindi looked at Xu Zhenguang gratefully.

"Before coming to Runzhou two days ago, I specifically proposed this suggestion from the volleyball center's guild. " Chen Jiaxiang said, "Everyone's opinions are not unanimous enough. Some comrades even think that this is' messing around '!"

Chen Jiaxiang emphasized the word' messing around '. He looked at Xu Zhenguang. Then he looked at Wei Xindi and said, "They feel that. . . If China's female platoon sends a substitute player as the main player, if they don't perform well in the finals, their performance will be terrible. How will the fans scold us? How will the competition organizers blame us? How will we explain it to the International Stadium. . . Old Xu, Little Wei, What do you think?"

" Director, I don't understand, "Wei Xindi said loudly before Xu Zhenguang. " Why does everyone think that. . . If we send a young substitute as the main player this time, we won't be able to satisfy everyone, right? I think. . . The process of such a commercial competition is more important than the results! Also. . . The most important task of this year's China female volleyball competition is not the finals of the world female volleyball league. Instead, it was the World Women's Racing Cup, which was to strive for the qualification for the Olympic Games in the World Cup. Director Chen. You have to understand, we are coordinating the preparations for the World Cup. Training the team in the finals and completing our final mission this year is not contradictory at all! "

Listening to Wei Xindiu's words, His words were like a bead cannon, and even Xu Zhenguang was stunned.

Chen Jiaxiang stared at Wei Xindi and waited for her to finish speaking. Then, he slowly asked, "Little Wei. . . No, Director Wei! How do you know what you said? I don't understand. "

Chen Jiaxiang continued, "That's what I asked them when I was running a guild. I said, Is it more important to win a trophy in the grand finals of the World Women's Racing League or is it more important to win a trophy in the World Championship? Is it more important to have an entrance ticket to the Olympic Games? I told them. After so many years, whether it was the previous World Championship or the World Championship, In the World Women's Racing League, no one would remember who the champion was or who the runner-up was. However, China's female racers participated in every World Women's Racing Cup. The results and performance of every Olympic Games are still vivid in the minds of the people! What do you mean by catching the main contradictions? What do you mean by Marxism? Reality is the most effective way for us to do practical work!"

" Little Wei, "Xu Zhenguang turned to look at Wei Xindi and said," you will lead the team in the finals this time. As the old saying goes, you have the right to arrange the troops. No matter what, Director Chen and I will support your work. We only have one request, to show the spirit and spirit of the China female platoon. "

" Yes! " Chen Jiaxiang said loudly from the side, "Use the essence of the China female rehearsals!"
