C61 Volume 21 Yang Fei
The alarm rang.
Yang Fei touched the phone on the bedside table and put out the alarm. Through the half-covered curtains, the morning sun of the early autumn of Yongdong Port silently entered his room.
Yang Fei went to the bathroom to take a shower and completely rid himself of his sleepiness.
Opening his suitcase, Yang Fei picked up a white T-shirt and put it on. Before he left, he deliberately took a photo in front of the dressing mirror. On the chest of the T-shirt, there was a line of English that read "China Volleybayleem (China volleyball team)," which was quite eye-catching.
Yang Fei lightly patted his cheek and perked up! He said to himself.
This was not the first time Yang Fei was wearing the national team's equipment.
In the past, no matter if it was friends from the China volleyball association or coaches from the national team, they would occasionally give him a few T-shirts with national flags or national symbols on them as small gifts. But this time, it was the first time that Yang Fei received and wore his own equipment as a member of the national team.
Dressed neatly, Yang Fei went downstairs and went straight to the buffet restaurant.
The sports hotel in the women's platoon base in Dongdong Port was the base of the China women's platoon every time they trained there. The staff at the buffet restaurant on the second floor had prepared a sumptuous breakfast early in the morning, waiting for the members of the China female platoon to arrive.
However, it was only seven o'clock, and there were no coaches or athletes in the restaurant. Yang Fei easily picked out a few dishes that he liked, found a table, and began to enjoy his breakfast.
After a few bites, Yang Fei found a familiar figure at the entrance of the restaurant.
She also noticed him and walked straight towards him.
He was a little nervous and expectant, but the opening remarks that he had prepared were unable to be said for a short period of time.
"We arrived last night. Did everything go well?" Wei Xindi said and put his phone on the table. It seemed like she was also prepared to sit at this table.
"Mm. . . Everything went smoothly. The base sent a car to pick me up at the airport. It was almost midnight when I arrived at the base, so I didn't report to you and Instructor Xu. " Yang Fei said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Wei Xindi smiled. "Why did you rush to the airport so late? We took the high-speed rail yesterday afternoon and came from Runzhou. "
"There were some things that we didn't manage during the day yesterday. We flew over from Beijing at 8: 30 at night. There weren't many people, so the plane was also empty. " Yang Fei said.
Wei Xindi nodded, turned around, and went to get his breakfast. He then sat opposite Yang Fei. As she ate, she casually asked, "What have you been busy with during this period of time?"
"Hurry up and learn and practice. " Yang Fei answered.
"Is the standard okay now?" Wei Xindi asked again.
"Let's give it a try. . . " Yang Fei answered.
Yang Fei's answer was very simple. But in just a few words, Wei Xindi could tell that he was confident.
Wei Xindi knew that Yang Fei had followed China's second female platoon to the World Women's Racing Championship under the age of 23 last year. It had greatly affected him. After returning to China, Yang Fei had actually suspended his work as a reporter. He went to the China volleyball academy to study, learn how to use the computer system to calculate and analyze volleyball tactics, as well as assist in training and competitions. Eight or nine months passed. This time, Yang Fei was able to come to the China female volleyball team as an intern statistician to assist the team in preparing for the World Championship. Wei Xindi understood. He must have learned something.
"This time, during the training camp at Yongdong Port, the team members went through the final simplification. However, there were also new faces. Therefore, the team needs accurate and efficient data analysis to assist in the last month's training and preparation. Yang Fei, This time, you are no longer a bystander. You are a true participant. You came at the right time, I hope that you. . . Will fight alongside us. In the end!" Wei Xindi said.
Yang Fei smiled as he raised his coffee cup and gently touched the milk cup in Wei Xindi's hand.
"I will!" He said.
He finished the cup of black coffee in one gulp.
. . .
An hour later, when Yang Fei stood by the familiar training ground, he finally understood what Wei Xindi meant when he said "someone is leaving and someone is coming. "
After the third place finished the finals of the World Championship, the China female rehearsal coaching team also reduced the scale of the team preparing for the World Championship to 16 athletes. In the end, 14 athletes who would participate in this year's World Championship would be born from these 16 athletes.
Appearing in front of Yang Fei were Zhou Shuyao, Han Jiahui, and Lu Ming. There were also Wang Xiaoqing and Song Siming, the two newcomers that Xu Zhenguang had focused on training in China.
Xia Zhi, Fang Han, Gu Weiyang, Xiao Xiao and Yuan Jun, Xiong Xin, Li Xuitong, Lin Yan, and Li Mengxi, the few youths who had devoted themselves to training, were the backbone of China's female platoon last year. They were also Yang Fei's' old acquaintances'. When they saw Yang Fei, who had been away for a long time, come to the training ground, they greeted him warmly.
Yang Fei had long heard Xu Zhenguang talk about the minor main attacker he had discovered in Banyan City, Mo Xiaoyu. This was the first time he had seen Yang Fei today. Yang Fei was infected by this immature little fellow who was brimming with vitality.
Turning his head, Yang Fei suddenly found a completely unfamiliar face. That girl looked to be only 23 or 24 years old. However, her height was much shorter than Gu Weiyang and Li Mengxi, who were originally "small" in the team. From the looks of it, she didn't seem very familiar with the other team members. When she was preparing by the side of the training ground, she felt somewhat restrained. However, this girl's entire body revealed a sense of steadiness and knowledge. Compared to other athletes, she was different.
"Yang Fei, you have been staring at our Freeman for a long time. What do you think?" Wei Xindi came to the side of the training ground and asked Yang Fei.
"She. . . She's a new freeman? Which club is she from? She doesn't seem to be a newcomer, but I don't think I've ever seen her play in China before? " Yang Fei asked in surprise.
Wei Xindi smiled proudly and said, "It seems that you've been very serious in your 'closed-door training' at the China volleyball academy. You don't even know what's going on outside the window. You haven't heard that she is the most popular player on the Internet in this year's National University Female volleyball Championship. "
Wei Xindi waved at the girl as he spoke. "Little Wen, come here. "
"Director Wei, what's the matter?" Qin Mowen ran over quickly.
"Let me introduce you guys. This is our new technical analysts, Teacher Yang Fei. This is our new free agent, Qin Mowen. I 'poached' him from the National University Championship. " Wei Xindi said. "Yang Fei, you don't know, right? Our Xiao Wen is a top mathematics student at Binhai University. You, a humanities student, have changed your profession to statistics. If there are any problems that you don't understand. . . I think you can communicate more with Xiao Wen. "
Hearing Wei Xindi say this, Yang Fei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Originally, Wei Xindi had a unique way of thinking. It was already enough for him to be surprised that he "poached" a player from a university team. Moreover, this little girl, who looked weak and gentle, was actually the most famous mathematics student in the country's top university, Binhai University!
Yang Fei thought to himself that since she was able to enter Wei Xindi's "discerning eye," it meant that this Qin Mowen must have her own unique points. However, what aspects could a university athlete do better than a professional athlete?
While he was lost in his thoughts, Xu Zhenguang and the other coaches of the coaching team arrived at the training center one after another. After everyone greeted him, Xindi Wei whistled, arranged the training subjects, and began training.
Yang Fei heard Wei Xindi say that he was going to arrange a group fight later, so he set up cameras, computers, routers, and other equipment at the side of the field, preparing to use the group fight to practice his skills. At the same time, he wanted to prove to Wei Xindi how good he was.
Seeing that Yang Fei had developed these high-tech methods, Xu Zhenguang and the other coaches walked over curiously and asked Yang Fei about them one by one. They also eagerly looked forward to these new methods to help everyone improve their training level.
When Yang Fei finished setting up, the warm-up and technical procedures had come to an end. As expected, Weixin Di and Zhenguang Xu started to divide the members into groups. The confrontation training was about to begin.
Taking advantage of the short free time Xu Zhenguang had to explain the tactical requirements to the team members on the side of the field, Wei Xindi quickly walked over. He bent over and looked at Yang Fei's equipment as he said in a low voice, "Yang Fei, do me a favor for today's training. . . "
"Oh?" Yang Fei was holding a computer and sitting on a bench by the wall. He heard Wei Xindi's voice. Halfway through his sentence, he looked at Wei Xindi in confusion.
"It's Xiao Wen's first day on the national team, but she doesn't have much time to prepare for the war. I want her to try fighting in groups. But I don't know if she will be able to quickly adapt to the serve and slam dunk of professional players like us. I don't want her to lose her confidence the first time she participated in the grouping match. So. . . "Wei Xindi said as he looked at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei immediately understood what Wei Xindi wanted him to do.
"Don't worry, when she changes, I will call her over here. I'll look at the data and help her find the other party's route and characteristics. " Yang Fei said, "This. . . Isn't unfair to the other team members, right?"
"Yes, it doesn't count!" Wei Xindi smiled at him and returned to the side of the field.
Yang Fei watched as the sixteen members on the field were divided into two groups. As he quickly recorded their names into the computer, he silently pondered over Wei Xindi's deployment of troops.
Xia Zhi, Wang Xiaoqing, Fang Han, Han Jiahui, Zhou Shuyao, and Yuan Jun were undoubtedly a group that represented the main force of the team. Yang Fei understood that Xia Zhi, Wang Xiaoqing, and Yuan Jun were irreplaceable in Wei Xindi's tactical system. The height of Fang Han's network was definitely a reflection of the team's offensive and defensive abilities. Han Jiahui and Zhou Shuyao, on the other hand, could play the role of the "Sea God Stabilising Needle" for the team. In addition, the all-rounded substitutes who could play the main offensive role would receive Xiong Xin. Yang Fei felt that this line-up should be the strongest line-up for the current China female platoon.
On Team Two's side, the combination of Song Simian and Mo Xiaoyu made Yang Fei feel very new. He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of data Mo Xiaoyu, the youngest player in the entire team, could provide. He was very familiar with Old General Lu Ming. As for the characteristics of Lin Yan, Xiao Xiao, Gu Weiyang, and the substitutes who specialized in attacking Li Xuantong, Yang Fei was already able to count them all. Yang Fei also knew. Gu Weiyang had been the main second and captain of Team Two last year, and had been the main female platoon captain for more than half a year. Now that Zhou Shuyao had returned to the team, she had no choice but to become a substitute. Such a change in role and identity, and a huge drop in status, had caused Gu Weiyang to become the main female platoon second and captain for more than half a year, but now that Zhou Shuyao had returned to the team, she had no choice but to become a substitute. If it was a normal young player, it was hard to say what kind of difficult turning process they would have to go through. However, looking at how Gu Weiyang was completely focused on training in Group Two, it was hard to say what kind of difficult reversal she would experience. Yang Fei couldn't help but secretly give this young Second Trainer a thumbs up.
Perhaps he wanted Qin Mowen to be able to put herself into training step by step in the first round of the competition. Wei Xindi had arranged for her to be a free person in Group One and specifically put Li Mengxi in Group Two. Yang Fei understood Wei Xindi's purpose. He understood that Wei Xindi hoped that Qin Mowen would be able to cooperate with the main team members. He wanted to build up more confidence in himself. At the same time, he also hoped that Qin Mowen would be able to work with the main team members. The overall strength of the opposing attackers would be slightly weaker than the first team after all.
The grouping battle began, and the second group served first.
Lin Yan's serve was not her strong point. Qin Mowen, who was concentrating, steadily picked up her jump ball and passed it to Zhou Shuyao, who was quietly waiting in front of the net. Zhou Shuyao had never seen the video of Qin Mowen's match on the Internet before. The moment Qin Mowen started the video, she was also shocked. However, the experienced Zhou Shuyao still quickly adjusted the rhythm of his pass, making the first team's attack speed increase as a whole.
When Xia Zhi received Zhou Shuyao's draw and scored in the fourth position, the second team's blocking team members were still unable to catch up.
"Good ball! Good ball! Little Wen received it beautifully!" Wei Xindi clapped his hands at the side of the court and encouraged Qin Mowen loudly.
Yang Fei also watched the whole process of the ball attentively. Was she really just a university student? Yang Fei muttered to himself.
However, the members of Team Two were not disturbed by this unexpected first ball. Under Old General Lu Ming's reminder, Team Two's team members similarly started from Free Man Li Mengxi's steady pass and launched a highly efficient attack.
Song Siming's heavy slam ball smashed down towards the empty space in the back of the group.
"I'll do it!" Qin Mowen shouted loudly and rushed over. She felt that she had found the right place. However, she did not expect that Song Simian would add some changes to her wrist when she tried to catch the ball. The volleyball deviated slightly from the position Qin Mowen had predicted. It almost brushed past her fingertip and fell to the ground.
"Du!"
Huang Runze, the assistant coach of the referee, blew the whistle in his mouth.
"Second group score. " Huang Runze shouted, "1-1. "
"It's alright!" Zhou Shuyao walked over and patted Qin Mowen on the shoulder. "Let's play the next ball well. "
Qin Mowen nodded.
However, the subsequent combat training became more and more difficult for Qin Mowen.
Not only did Song Siming and Mo Xiaoyu take turns to attack, even Lin Yan and Xiao Xiao's fast ball and Lu Ming's suspenders were combined. Qin Mowen did not even manage to successfully defend a few times.
If not for the fact that Team One's overall offensive strength was a level higher, Team Two would have long been able to lead by a large margin in this round.
When he saw Qin Mowen, who was still standing at the side of the field with a blank expression after switching places with Han Jiahui, Yang Fei shouted loudly, "Little Wen, come here!"
Only then did Qin Mowen bite her lips and walk over.
"You know. . . " Yang Fei pointed at the laptop screen in his arms and said, "The current computer auxiliary system can calculate and analyze the status and performance of every athlete according to the ever-changing situation on the field. "
Qin Mowen nodded, but her eyes were still filled with confusion.
"Little Wen, look," Yang Fei said again. "These are the attacking routes of the second group of attackers. For example, Song Siming's probability of pulling the large diagonal line is much lower than the small diagonal line. The landing points are here, here, and here. If the other party did not form a double blocking net in front of the net, she still had a 20% chance of pulling the straight line ball. Most of the landing points are concentrated here. . . "
Hearing Yang Fei's words and looking at the attack lines and landing points of the second group of attackers on Yang Fei's laptop screen, Qin Mowen immediately understood everything. As if she had obtained a treasure, she tried her best to memorize the data and diagrams that Yang Fei showed her. Soon, she finished reading them all.
"This is only the data for the first round, it's not complete yet" Yang Fei smiled and said, "But for you, I think it will be helpful. How about it? Do you have some confidence? "
"Yes!" Qin Mowen said happily, "Thank you, Director Yang!"
This was the first time that Yang Fei had heard someone call him "Director Yang. " He couldn't help but be stunned.
"No, no, no! Xiao Wen, don't call me that. " Yang Fei waved his hand awkwardly and said, embarrassed, "After all, I'm not a coach, I'm just a data analyst. Heh, he's also an intern. . . "
"Then I. . . Can I call you 'Teacher Yang'?" Qin Mowen asked.
"Sure. Then call me Teacher!" Yang Fei said, "Hurry up and go back to the stage. Xiao Wen, Director Wei is going to switch to the assistant attacker at the back. "
Yang Fei watched the performance of the two teams on the field as he continued to record the training data. He saw. . . Qin Mowen, who had returned to the training ground, clearly trusted the data he had provided. Yang Fei also discovered that Qin Mowen had memorized all the data in just a few minutes. She even had her own analysis and judgment.
At the same time, the members of Team Two also noticed that Qin Mowen's defensive position had become even clearer after she went on stage again. She even had high accuracy when she was defending. Gradually, Qin Mowen's defense became better and better, and her defense rate became higher and higher.
"Hey!" Mo Xiaoyu shouted, and she jumped up from a very rare spot between the three and four spots where she would throw the ball.
"Xiao Wen!" Yang Fei couldn't help but shout from his chair, "Pay attention to the diagonal line of defense, pay attention to the landing point of the first position. . . "
As soon as Yang Fei finished his words, Qin Mowen noticed that Mo Xiaoyu's slam ball was indeed aimed at the empty space of the first position.
If Qin Mowen's height increased by another 10 cm or so, then she would be able to hit the first position of the square. She'll be there in a minute. But now, she could only choose to throw herself out and make a daring fish jump to save the ball.
"Bang. . . "
The ball bounced up from Qin Mowen's hand that she tried hard to reach out. Even though her body fell heavily to the ground, Qin Mowen still stared at the direction where the volleyball flew to the tennis court with her eyes wide open.
Zhou Shuyao and Fang Han jumped at the same time.
However, Fang Han was just a cover who made a realistic and fake move.
Yuan Jun, who was in the back, received Zhou Shuyao's pass. She was the real attacker.
"Block! Block!" Gu Weiyang reminded the members of Team Two loudly on the other side of the net.
But it was already too late.
Yuan Jun's slam dunk landed heavily on the field.
When he saw that Qin Mowen had just gotten up from the ground when he was praised and comforted by his teammates, the corner of Yang Fei's mouth couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.
The second round of the competition ended with a complete victory for the first group. After a break in the game, Qin Mowen immediately ran over.
"Um. Here's the data for the second round. Look. . . " Yang Fei said as he checked the data and passed it to Qin Mowen.
"Teacher Yang, your data analysis is really effective!" Qin Mowen sighed as she looked at the computer.
"The data only has an auxiliary function. If you can perform well, you still need to rely on your solid skills to support it. Right, Little Wen, I see that your defense skills are so good. I want to ask how many years have you played volleyball for? " Yang Fei threw out a question from the bottom of his heart.
Actually, Yang Fei was very curious when he saw Qin Mowen continuously defending. After all, in the past few years, based on his understanding of young female racers in the country, young athletes like Qin Mowen who had solid foundation skills were becoming rarer and rarer.
"Me? I've been playing volleyball for seventeen years. " Qin Mowen said casually.
"Oh. . . Ah?" Yang Fei was shocked. He thought he had misheard her. "It's. . . Seven years?"
"Oh. . . It's seven years indoor volleyball. " Qin Mowen answered seriously, but then he added, "Before playing indoor volleyball, I played for ten years of air volleyball. "
"So it's really seventeen years!" Yang Fei sighed.
Qin Mowen looked at Yang Fei and nodded lightly. She still didn't quite understand why Yang Fei was so shocked by her simple sports experience.
But she didn't know that her sports experience was actually not simple.
Yang Fei was surprised because among the 23-year-old young volleyball players who were the same age as Qin Mowen, even professional players could not find anyone in the whole country who had 17 years of volleyball experience.
