C74 Volume 34 Wei Xindi
Wei Xindi tried hard to calm himself down, but she couldn't focus on the game at all.
24 to 22.
24 to 23.
24 to 24. . .
The beeping device rang. Wei Xindi was startled and turned his head to look. It turned out that the assistant coach Huang Runze had asked for a timeout on her behalf.
The team members walked over silently. Although the girls were in a heavy mood, they were all looking forward to what Wei Xindi could say to them. After all, at this moment, only if she said something would everyone feel more at ease.
"Sis. . . Sis!" Zhou Shuyao shouted at her from the side.
"Oh. . . " Only then did Wei Xindi snap back to his senses. He said haltingly, "Everyone. . . Persevere for a while. Calming down, the competition is still going on. . . Alright, you guys. . . Tell me about it. "
Seeing Wei Xindi's pained expression, the team members could not bear to let her suffer any more. Zhou Shuyao called out to the team members. Everyone gathered in a circle and discussed a few simple tactics. The timeout passed in the blink of an eye.
However, the American female platoon was already catching up. After the timeout, they scored two points in a row and won the crucial third match.
Wei Xindi had been sitting in the coaching stands, staring blankly at the field. In the fourth match, in the entire match, other than two technical breaks, she had never stood up.
Wei Xindi's mind was filled with thoughts of the scene of Xia Zhi's injury just now. She suddenly thought of how Xia Zhi had quietly rubbed his wrist during the timeouts.
If I hadn't listened to her at that time, I would have replaced her to rest for a while. Perhaps, she wouldn't have been injured because she went to save that ball! Wei Xindi blamed himself. This is my responsibility, completely my responsibility!
The more he thought about it, the more Wei Xindi felt that this match was already a form of torture for her. If it weren't for the rules not allowing her to do so, she would have left immediately and let the others lead the competition while she rushed to the hospital to stay by Xia Zhi's side.
After all, this sort of suffering ended very quickly. 12 to 25. China's female platoon lost the fourth round with a big score, but it was also unable to obtain a complete victory in this year's female platoon World Cup.
When the main referee blew the whistle that ended the match, the coaches and athletes of the American female volleyball team were very happy. They celebrated in the stadium. With this victory, they won the third place in this year's female volleyball World Cup. At the same time, they were able to enter the Olympic Games next year.
On the viewing platform, the Russian female platoon soldiers who were watching the competition had disappointed and helpless looks on their faces. Before Xia Zhi was injured, The Russian female platoon still held a lot of hope as they worked hard to add fuel to the oil for the China female platoon. But now, It was also difficult for them to blame the China women's row for not doing their best. They only hated themselves for not seizing the opportunity in the previous matches.
But to Wei Xindi, all of this was no longer important. She stood up in a daze, walked into the field, and walked to the front of the net.
Kidd had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Wei Xindi walk over, he took the initiative to shake hands with her.
"City, your team member is injured. I'm very sorry. I hope she doesn't have any serious problems, and I also wish her an early recovery. In addition, I still want to congratulate you again, you and your team have won the World Championship, You are the team with the most outstanding performance in the World Championship. I am very honored to be able to fight with such a Chinese female volleyball today. " Kid said.
Kelly also walked over. She first hugged Wei Xindi, then said apologetically, "Sorry, Chindy. I'm very sorry. Your team member was injured because of the ball that saved me. Really, I'm very sorry. Can you greet her for me? "
"Thank you, Kelly. In the competition, the athlete's injury was an accident. I'll pass on your greetings to Summer. Don't blame yourself too much. " Wei Xindi tried his best to squeeze out a smile.
She looked at Kelly's sincere face and felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart.
As usual, she shook hands with her opponent, and Wei Xindi returned to the coach's seat. She still wanted to sit for a while. However, Huang Runze came over and advised her, "Director Wei, let's go. Next, the Japanese and Brazilian female rehearsals will enter to warm up. "
"Alright! Director Huang, Let's. . . Go to the hospital and take a look at Xia Zhi. " Wei Xindi told Huang Runze.
"Director Wei, you can't leave the stadium yet. The organizers informed him. In a while, the Japanese and Brazilian female racers will have an award ceremony. The top three teams. . . The players and the head coach would be participating. Director Chen just called to tell us not to worry. Xia Zhi's condition was relatively stable. The results of the inspection would be out very soon. He also specifically asked me to pass on the message to you. I hope you can lead the team to stand on the podium and receive the championship trophy that belongs to us. " Huang Runze said.
Wei Xindi nodded and followed the team back to the locker room.
Seeing that the team members had quietly changed into their award attire, Wei Xindi requested everyone to go to the stands and watch the final match between the Japanese and Brazilian female racers. The team members understood that Wei Xindi only hoped that everyone would leave so that she could be alone for a while. Zhou Shuyao brought the team members out of the locker room and gently closed the door for her.
The locker room suddenly became silent.
Wei Xindi sat blankly on a chair in the middle of the lounge. This silence was like an invisible mountain pressing down on her. Wei Xindi felt that he did not have any strength left in his body. She could not break free, nor could she bear it. She could only let her tears flow out of her eyes and drip down her face.
Before going to the Women's Row World Cup, Wei Xindi had never imagined that he could lead a team to win the World Cup. And when he defeated the Brazilian female raccoon and the World Cup champion Dawn appeared in front of everyone, she had indeed imagined what kind of feeling she would have when she won the World Championship.
However, no matter what, she had never expected that she would lead the team in such a way to win the World Championship of the female volleyball.
Her current feelings were indescribably complicated.
Someone knocked on the door of the locker room. Before Wei Xindi could speak, the door of the locker room opened.
Yang Fei walked in.
Wei Xindi wiped the tears from his face and said lightly, "Why are you here? I want to be alone for a while. "
Yang Fei still closed the door and slowly walked over.
"Everyone is still worried about you, so. . . I came to see you. " Yang Fei said.
"I'm fine. " Wei Xindi lowered his head as he said, "Yang Fei, can you please leave first? My heart is in a mess right now, and I don't feel good either. I really want to be alone for a while. "
" You. . . Feel that as long as you continue to be sad like this, Xia Zhi's injuries will disappear, and nothing will happen? " Yang Fei suddenly asked.
Wei Xindi was stunned.
"I should. . . I should protect them. " Wei Xindi muttered, "They called me sister, but I wasn't competent at all. Yes, I wasn't competent at all! Whether I'm their head coach or their sister, I should protect them well and not let them get hurt! "
"Although we don't want to see athlete's injuries, it was an accident after all. " Yang Fei comforted him in a low voice.
Wei Xindi shook his head. "No, Yang Fei, he said. You don't understand! When Weiyang's forehead is still bleeding, I ask her whether she can persist or not. When she told me that she could still fight, I hesitated. When Xia Zhi's shoulder was injured, he paused for a moment. I once found out that she was hiding from me as she quietly rubbed her wrist. It seemed that her wrist was a little uncomfortable. I was also hesitating if I should take her down and rest for a while. At that time, if I didn't hesitate. . . If I insisted on replacing her, perhaps there wouldn't be any more accidents. It's all my fault! Why should I hesitate! I hesitated because I didn't want to lose this game. I also didn't dare to lose this game! So, this wasn't an accident. It's all my fault!"
" Wh. . . Why? " Yang Fei stared at Wei Xinzhi with widened eyes and said, "It's just that. . . You're afraid that after everyone thinks that China's female rehearsals have won the championship earlier, they only care about celebrating and won't go all out to fight the final match?"
Wei Xindi smiled bitterly. "It's not that simple! Yang Fei, you don't know, in the morning, Larry Kid came to me in the restaurant and asked me if I could play a ball for them and give the American female volleyball three points. At that time, Director Chen was also there. . . "
Yang Fei understood. He knew why Wei Xindi would say that she didn't dare to lose this game.
"Xindi, it was right that you did not agree to Kidd's request. You. . . Shouldn't blame yourself for this matter. Even now. . . China's female volleyball had indeed lost, allowing the American female volleyball to obtain a victory and three points. But everyone saw that. . . How your team fought in the competition, and what kind of price they paid. " Yang Fei said. "Now, no one will misunderstand you. And no one will question the loss of the China female rehearsals. "
"That's right!" Wei Xindi suddenly raised his head, his eyes red. He shouted at Yang Fei, "You're right! This match. . . Endless Night's blood, Xia Zhi's serious injuries. . . Now, No one will question us, no one will misunderstand us. But, Midnight might have that scar on her forehead for the rest of her life. She is such a cute and beautiful girl! At that time, she was lying on the floor. It was so painful that she couldn't even move. . . But I still don't know if Xia Zhi's injury will affect her sports career. Will it make her unable to catch up to the Olympic Games next year. . . If I have a chance to make a new choice, I would rather not have this victory. I would rather give three points to the American female volleyball and exchange it for my girls who will always be healthy and healthy!"
Yang Fei looked at Wei Xindi and slowly said, "Xindi, I understand! Seeing the people that I care about and care about suffer pain and suffering, no one would think that way. But I also understand. No matter what you say, in the deepest part of your heart, You and the girls are actually as strong. For the honor of this team, for the sake of being worthy of the words' China female volleyball ', Each of you would rather go all out than easily give the victory to your opponent. No matter how many times I give you a choice, it's the same. Because, you and your girls would never make that kind of decision. "
Wei Xindi was silent, and only tears flowed out once more. She wiped them away, and her tears could no longer be stopped. She simply allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks.
Yang Fei's heart also twisted into a ball. He hesitated, hesitated. Finally, he walked forward, squatted down, and gently hugged her.
Wei Xindi didn't struggle.
"You are also. . . The person I have always cared about and cared about. . . " Yang Fei said softly.
Wei Xindi leaned his head on Yang Fei's shoulder and cried loudly without any scruples.
. . .
The Brazilian female platoon and the Japanese female platoon fought very quickly. As it had nothing to do with the rankings of the two teams, the Brazilian female platoon had hidden all of its main force, allowing the Japanese female platoon to successfully land three rounds in a row. It could be considered as a "gift" to the host who had meticulously organized this competition.
After the competition ended, the award ceremony was very lively.
The little rabbit Gu Weiyang changed her forehead into an even bigger band-aid and received the best second place trophy that belonged to her from the honored guest. This was also the Best Secondary Medal Award for China's female platoon members after Wei Xindi and Zhou Shuyao from eight years ago.
"Sis, I got the best second prize! I got the best second prize for the World Cup!" Gu Weiyang skipped back to the team with the two trophies in her hands. In addition to her own second best, she had just replaced Summer's Best Main.
"Congratulations, little rabbit. " Wei Xindi said as he lovingly patted Gu Weiyang's head, "Now, you deserve to be called the best Secondary Secondary Hand in the world. "
Wei Xindi then looked at the China female platoon members who were waiting to stand on the highest podium. Perhaps it was because he had just cried, or perhaps it was because he was with those energetic girls again, Wei Xindi felt his mood relax a lot.
After the award ceremony and the flag raising segment ended, the live television broadcast was once again aimed at the China female rehearsals on the highest podium.
Gu Weiyang had long been waiting for this moment. She chuckled and took out a neat stack of competition clothes from her bulging pocket.
In front of the camera, Gu Weiyang and Fang Han unfolded the competition suit. On it were numbers 1 and "Z. XIA.
These were the summer jerseys.
Before the award ceremony began, Gu Weiyang had an idea and specifically brought Xia Zhi's jersey from his assistant coach, Huang Runze.
"Little Superman!" Weiyang Gu shouted, and her teammates followed her. "Did you see that? We'll receive the award together!"
"Because we're. . . " Gu Weiyang shouted again.
"China's female platoon!" The team members shouted at the same time.
Thirteen China female volleyball players and Xia Zhi's jerseys were fixed in countless cameras. It became the most classic and unforgettable scene in this year's female racers' World Cup award ceremony.
Wei Xindi, who was standing beside the team members, couldn't help but turn her face away. She was afraid that the girls would once again shed tears upon seeing her.
Wei Xindi walked down from the podium and silently took out his phone from his pocket. He wanted to call Chen Jiaxiang and ask about the situation at Xia Zhi. She found that there were dozens of missed calls on her phone.
Many of them were from her family and friends in China. Even without asking Wei Xindi, he knew that they must have come to congratulate her. There were also reporters who were close to him. They definitely hoped to let Wei Xindi talk about his thoughts at the first possible moment. Although Wei Xindi felt grateful and apologetic towards these missed calls, she did not have the time to respond.
However, what made her eyes light up was the call from "Old Wu. "
Wei Xindi flipped through the phone records. Not long after the Central America Battle ended. Old Wu called her every ten minutes or so. However, Wei Xindi's phone had been switched to silent mode since the start of the competition. It had been placed in his jacket pocket. After the match, She was in a low mood and was still thinking about Xia Zhi's injuries, so she didn't have the time to look at her phone.
Wei Xindi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly called back.
Very quickly, the call connected.
"It's me, Alex. Hello, City. I just watched the live broadcast of the competition. Congratulations!" Old Wu said.
"Thank you, Alex! Sorry, the phone had been silent just now. However, I think you didn't call me just to congratulate me, right?" Wei Xindi said.
"Yeah, I saw your team member get injured in the competition. I want to ask. . . This time, do you need my help? Just nice, I have a 'schedule'. " Old Wu went straight to the point, but she did not lack a sense of humor.
Old Wu's words caused Wei Xindi's heart to be filled with joy and joy.
"What do you think, Old Wu?" Wei Xindi happily replied, "Beijing welcomes you!"
