C93 Volume 18 Xia Zhi

Third, this is the third! As Xia Zhi thought about this, he stared intently at the Turkey female volleyball player - their young and tall reinforcement, Kaykula.

. . .

Xia Zhi had a very deep impression of Kaykula.

In the previous matches between China's female volleyball and Turkey's female volleyball, China's female volleyball had been very effective in suppressing Kaykura's performance. China's female volleyball had also easily won. And after a certain defeat to China's female rehearsals, Kaykura, who had a short ponytail and braids, sat by the side of the field and continuously cried. In the Xia Zhi's memory, the scene of him sitting by the side crying was like yesterday.

Last year, Kaykula was only 19 years old and was still a rookie in the rehearsal world. This year, although Kaykula was only a year older than last year, after standing in the Olympic Games, the first game of Kaykula made Xia Zhi look at him in a new light.

After the start of the game, the Italian head coach, Lorenzo Tonatore, arranged for the youngest Kaykura in the team to serve and did not let her attack from the three points in the front row. This was out of the expectations of the China female platoon soldiers. However, this showed that Lorenzo was confident in the attack power of the Kaykura serve.

Kaykura's first serve went straight to China's female volleyball Freeman, Li Mengxi.

This jump ball was very heavy. Little potato had already tried his best to adjust his center of gravity and cushion, but he still sent the ball flying. Li Mengxi could not help but stamp her feet a few times in annoyance.

She got the first point for the team with her serve as soon as she went on stage. Unlike last year, Khalikura was not as happy as a little girl with good results after playing a good game.

Xia Zhi discovered that after Kaykula and his teammates celebrated with a simple high-five, they calmly returned to the serve area.

After receiving the volleyball thrown by the caddy, Kaykura looked towards the China female volleyball's playoffs.

Is it. . . Me? As Xia Zhi thought about it, she noticed that Kaykula's gaze was fixed on her.

Xia Zhi secretly prepared himself.

The main referee's whistle sounded once again.

Kaykula stepped up, threw the ball, jumped up, hit the ball. . . A series of actions were completed in one breath like flowing water. As expected, the volleyball flew towards Summer's arrival.

Fortunately, Kaykula did not go to the right side of Summer's body like the American female volleyball players in the finals of the World Championship. The angle of her volleyball was very accurate.

However, the moment Summer's forearm touched the volleyball, she suddenly understood. Why did Li Mengxi, who had perfected her defensive skills, send the first one flying. . .

The strength of Kaykula's floating ball was too great!

In Xia Zhi's impression, in the past, she only felt pain and numbness in her arm when she met her opponent's powerful and powerful hoverball. However, this was just a seemingly ordinary Leap Ball. The player who served the ball was still a 20-year-old young player.

Just as Summer was stunned, the volleyball had already shot up high in the direction of the top of her head.

"Little Superman, get out of the way!"

Gu Weiyang shouted loudly, charging towards her. Xia Zhi hurriedly took a few steps back and gave his position to Gu Weiyang.

The high bouncing volleyball needed time to fall. But even in this short second, it had already caused the China female volleyball to be unable to organize a quick attack.

The moment he and Gu Weiyang were separated, Xia Zhi shouted: "Give it to me!"

Gu Weiyang understood tacitly and passed the ball to the three-meter line.

Xia Zhi ran two steps and jumped. Just as she was about to throw the ball, the Turkey female volleyball had already set up a net blocking tactic.

In front of the net, the three-man net formed by the main attack of Pamela, the second-serve Otis, and the deputy attack of Alda had almost completely blocked all of Summer's throw routes.

Now, there was no other choice. Xia Zhi could only grit his teeth and rely on his own strength to break through the three-man blockade of his opponent. . .

Xia Zhi fully stretched out his arms, the core muscles on his waist taut. In an instant, that strength burst out from the core of Xia Zhi's body and instantly transferred to her arm.

Fight! As Xia Zhi thought about it, he completed the slam dunk.

As expected, the volleyball tore through the defensive line of the Turkey female volleyball and "squeezed" through the middle of Otis' and Alda's arms.

"Little Superman, beautiful!" Gu Weiyang's excited shout rang out.

However, Xia Zhi, who had just landed on the ground, was surprised to find that the Turkey female platoon members were not flustered in the slightest.

Through the gaps in the bodies of the Turks' front row members, Xia Zhi saw their free man, Sario, leap up like a fish and lift up the ball that was about to land on the ground. Following that, Otis quickly followed, and just like what Gu Weiyang had just made, he passed the ball to the three-meter line.

The one waiting there was Khalikura.

The front row members of China's female volleyball network clearly didn't have the opportunity to form an organization to block the net like the first row members of the Turkey female volleyball. Fang Han and Yuan Jun were quickly moving their bodies, but it was already too late. Facing the attack from the back row of Kaykula, the female platoon only had Wang Xiaoqing, who was the main attacker, trying her best to jump up.

Kayikula chose a large diagonal line, and the volleyball flew past Wang Xiaoqing's arm, which was blocking the tennis ball, towards the China female volleyball's rear court.

"Dong!"

The volleyball landed on the floor not far behind Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi, who had just taken a defensive stance, did not even have the time to move his feet.

"Whoa!" Xia Zhi slowly stood up. She exhaled and felt a little indignant in her heart.

Similarly, there was no tactic to attack from the back. Xia Zhi could not do it, but it was done by Kaykula, who was five years younger than her.

However, after seeing that Kawaykura was still calmly celebrating his victory with his teammates and silently and seriously walking back to the serve area, Xia Zhi was somewhat lost in thought.

The first round of the first group match of the Olympic Games, China's female volleyball was left behind by 0 to 2. . .

Kaykula once again stood in the serve area with the ball in his arms.

The third, this was the third! As Xia Zhi thought about this, he stared intently at Kaykula.

At this moment, the sound of a beeping device could be heard from the loudspeaker of the stadium.

Xia Zhi and his teammates turned their heads to look. The head coach of the China female volleyball team, Wei Xindi, stood up from the coaching stands and gestured to the main referee to stop.

Xia Zhi and his teammates walked back to the coaching area of the China female volleyball team. Wei Xindi did not have any serious expression on his face. She smiled and patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder. She asked her team members, "What's wrong, girls? Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I slept well. . . " Xia Zhi replied softly.

"Yes, it seems that your mental fortitude is much better than mine. " Wei Xindi continued to smile as he spoke. "You don't know, right? It was my first time in the Olympics. As soon as I walked into the stadium, my legs became a little hard to use. When I was warming up in front of the game, Guess what, my first ball went directly to the other side of the tennis court. It landed on the head coach of the Bulgarian female volleyball. The old man was not young anymore and his hair was a little balding. He kept rubbing his head and stared at me angrily. . . "

Hearing Wei Xindi talk about her past" dark history, "Xia Zhi and his teammates couldn't help but laugh when they imagined a bald old coach glaring at them angrily.

Hearing their laughter, the Turk female platoon members and coaches looked over in confusion. They didn't know why the China female platoon members could still laugh even though they were behind in the beginning.

After the team members laughed happily for a while, Wei Xindi continued, "So, your opening performance was very good. Now, the match has just begun, so focus your attention. Ladies, treat this match as an ordinary match!"

Wei Xindi's words during the pause had indeed eased the tension in the hearts of the female platoon members. And the minute pause requested by the China female platoon also made the young Kaykula's burning sensation cool down at the right time.

Returning to the court, Kaykula's third serve didn't work.

Little potato, who was fully focused on the first free pass, picked up the first free pass before the summer break.

Once the first round was done, Gu Weiyang plugged in the back row of the line and faced Yuan Jun, staring at her without blinking.

Summer, who was in the back row, suddenly understood Gu Weiyang's meaning. This was a combination of the front and back rows of attack tactics that their little friends had practiced during their daily training.

Whether it was Xia Zhi in the front row, Yuan Jun in the back row, or Yuan Jun in the front row, or Xia Zhi in the back row, it was the same.

Gu Weiyang looked at the assaulter with a resolute gaze, as well as the false attack of the assaulter in the front row in front of the net. It was all the cover of the attack this time. This could attract the vast majority of the opponent's defense attention, allowing the assaulter in the back row to perform unexpected attack points from the back row.

At this moment, the China female platoon was covering in front of the net to receive Yuan Jun, and the one who needed to complete this attack was the main attacker, Xia Zhi, who was in the back row.

Indeed, looking at Gu Weiyang's eyes and Yuan Jun who was moving swiftly, the Turkey female platoon's second-in-command Otis loudly reminded his teammates to be careful. When Yuan Jun jumped up high in the front row, Otis and Pamela had already started following Yuan Jun's rhythm.

This was exactly what Gu Weiyang wanted. She leaped into the air, raised her head slightly, and nimbly passed the ball's back to Xia Zhi, who was waiting three meters away.

"Hey!"

Xia Zhi shouted loudly, and the volleyball flew towards the back of the Turkey female volleyball field.

The defender standing there was Khalikura.

Khalikura also did not guess that it was Khalikura. The real intention of the China female platoon's attack this time was that Xia Zhi's attack from the back made her not prepare to defend at all.

Seeing Xia Zhi's attack coming at her, Kaikura subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he also felt that his duty was to defend against this ball. In a trance, the volleyball was already in front of him.

Kaykula's vision went black, and his head felt dizzy. He fell to the ground with a thud. She was hit squarely in the face by Xia Zhi's heavy attack from behind. . .

Xia Zhi subconsciously ran a few steps before stopping in front of the net. She stared blankly at the other side of the net. Under the support of the team doctor and her teammates, Kaykula stood up from the ground with a pained expression.

Beside the court, the head coach of the Turkey female volleyball team, Lorenzo, was loudly shouting at Khalikura in English. When Xia Zhi heard this, he understood that Lorenzo was asking Kaykula if she needed to be replaced to rest.

Xia Zhi saw Kaykula cover his face and shake his head vigorously at Lorenzo, indicating that he could still hold on. Lorenzo could only nod his head and give Kaykula a thumbs up. Then, he shook his head lightly and walked back to the coaching stands while mumbling something.

Khalikula was still rubbing his slightly red face. Xia Zhi understood that it must be very painful.

Suddenly, Xia Zhi saw that Khalikula had raised his head to look at him. His gaze met with Xia Zhi's concerned expression.

Xia Zhi was a little embarrassed. He put his palms together and shouted in English, "Sorry!"

Kaykula actually smiled. She put her hand down from her face and shook her own arm with force. Then, she nodded at Xia Zhi.

I'm fine. Let's continue to compete!

Although Kaykula didn't say anything, Xia Zhi could clearly read the meaning behind this little girl's strong gaze and actions.

Xia Zhi also nodded at Kaykula.

That's right, the competition was still going on! As Xia Zhi thought about this, he turned around and extended his hand to his teammates.

"Pa!"

Gu Weiyang slapped him.

"Pa!"

Fang Han slapped him.

"Pa!"

Yuan Jun slapped him.

"Pa!"

Wang Xiaoqing slapped him.

"Pa!"

Li Mengxi jumped up and slapped him.

"Come on!" Everyone shouted at the same time.

. . .

Xia Zhi didn't want to take a look at the scoreboard. However, she subconsciously raised her head and saw the score displayed on the huge LED screen on the wall of the Glory and Dream Stadium.

22 points!

From the start of this round until now, the score between China's female and Turkey's female rows had never been pulled apart.

The unusually sticky atmosphere also made the fans at the scene cheer to their heart's content, making the atmosphere of the game lively and exciting.

Next was the first round of attack that belonged to the China female volleyball.

Xia Zhi saw Gu Weiyang give her a look. Then, the little rabbit with its back facing the net made an aggressive gesture with the number four position on its chest.

All the players on the field clearly understood the strategy of a second pass.

Gu Weiyang's choice was not a problem.

During most of the time in the first game, Xia Zhi had maintained a very high attack efficiency. The more critical the point was, the more Gu Weiyang trusted Summer's Day.

The Turkey female volleyball's secondary attack, Alda's serve, was propped up by Wang Xiaoqing, who was in the back row. It wasn't particularly in place, but it was still within Gu Weiyang's control.

When Xia Zhi saw Xiao Xiao and Yuan Jun, who was in the back row, helping her cover up, the defensive members of the Turkey women's row also nervously stared at every member of the China women's row.

One, two. . . Xia Zhi silently counted the tempo.

Gu Weiyang's ball was sent over.

"Hey!" Xia Zhi's No. 4 position forcefully passed through the arms of the Turk female volleyball defender and flew towards the back of the court.

The Turk female platoon free man, Sariollo, looked at the large diagonal line that Xia Zhi had seized and his brain quickly operated. Finally, Sarioluo leaned sideways, allowing the ball to land on the floor.

"OT! (Exit)" The Turkey female platoon members shouted at the same time, both hands making an exit gesture.

The operator pointed the flag in his hand towards the area where the Turkey female platoon was.

When Xia Zhi saw this, the main referee was also clearly stunned. He raised both hands in front of him, wanting to sentence the ball to exit the boundary. However, in the end, the main referee still respected the commentator's opinion. He pointed at the Turkey female volleyball's court and sentenced the ball to be out of bounds. China female volleyball scored.

The beeping device rang at the right time. The head coach of the Turkey female volleyball, Lorenzo, drew a basket in the air with his index fingers towards the main referee.

He wanted to apply for a video playback to challenge the China female volleyball!

The players on both sides understood the importance of this ball and this point to the victory and defeat of the first round. Hearing Wei Xindi standing at the side of the court and loudly calling out to everyone, Xia Zhi hurriedly ran over.

Wei Xindi looked at her and did not ask if Xia Zhi's ball was in the boundary or outside the boundary. She only told her team members, "The head coach of the Turkey female volleyball applying for a challenge at this time is also to mess up our tempo and mentality. The girls, We still have to play the next few balls according to the previous arrangements. Don't be affected by the opponent, understand? "

Wei Xindi's voice had yet to fade when everyone heard a burst of happy shouts from the Turkey female volleyball team. Although they already knew that the Turkey female platoon should have won the challenge and won this point, the members of the China female platoon still turned their heads to look at the big screen.

Sure enough, the anime that was still playing on the big screen showed that the advantage of the slam dunk during the summer was just outside the bottom line, missing by a millimeter.

Xia Zhi was a little unhappy. The score on the court was 22 to 23, and the Turkey female volleyball had gained the upper hand at a very crucial point. Because of her mistake this time, the situation of the China female volleyball had become very difficult.

Wei Xindi gently stroked Xia Zhi's back and said, "Just a little bit more. It's alright, Little Superman. I believe that you will definitely score beautifully in the next round!"

Xia Zhi turned his head to look at Wei Xindi, who still had a calm and warm smile on his face.

"Okay!" Xia Zhi waved his fist and walked back to the arena.

It was still Elda's serve. This player, who had been playing in the European professional volleyball field for many years, was quite skilled in all kinds of secondary attacks. Apart from his height being slightly lower than other tall secondary attacks, he was also quite skilled in all kinds of secondary attacks. He was basically a player with no lack of skills.

The next serve, the landing point that Alda was looking for was very tricky. She realized that Wang Xiaoqing's half-way pass just now would distract the other members in the back row of the China female volleyball, so she deliberately sent the ball between Wang Xiaoqing and Li Mengxi, the free agent of the China female volleyball.

As expected, this serve had surprised Wang Xiaoqing and Li Mengxi. According to common sense, as a free agent, Li Mengxi had the responsibility of dealing with this kind of ambiguous serve. However, at this moment, Wang Xiaoqing's mind was filled with thoughts of how to receive this pass. She kept moving towards the direction of the volleyball, but she had violated a big rule on the court - she did not loudly remind her teammates!

In the end, at the moment Li Mengxi was about to throw the ball, she bumped into Wang Xiaoqing, who was also about to throw the ball.

The ball flew straight towards the third position of the tennis court.

Oh no, it was a head-extending ball! Xia Zhi's heart shivered, and he started to move from the fourth position to the third.

Just as Xia Zhi was barely able to jump up and stretch his arms, a figure quickly jumped in front of her.

The volleyball carried a gust of wind. It brushed past Xia Zhi's ear and fell. In front of Xia Zhi was that determined face of Kaykula.

22 to 24!

"There's still more!" Wei Xindi shouted from the side of the field, "There's still more to play in this round. Don't give up!"

"Do your best!" Xia Zhi closed his eyes and shouted loudly!

The China female platoon had no chance to stop the video challenge in this round. However, Wei Xindi still pressed the button for the beeping device. Two points for three points, the China female queue requested a replacement.

Zhou Shuyao and Xiong Xin exchanged for Yuan Jun and Gu Weiyang respectively. The front row of the China female platoon once again became a three-point offensive.

"Everyone, calm down. Don't be anxious. Let's split it up. " As Zhou Shuyao spoke, he made a tactical gesture with Xia Zhi, Fang Han, and Xiong Xin, who were in the front row.

"Daqing, you did well in the last ball!" Li Mengxi also loudly encouraged Wang Xiaoqing. "Don't care where this ball is. Leave it to me to deal with. Is it ready?"

Wang Xiaoqing smiled in embarrassment and nodded: "Oh, okay. Little potato, this ball is yours!"

Everyone finished their tactical communication. Alda's serve followed the referee's whistle. Li Mengxi focused 100% of her attention on the right spot and passed the ball to Zhou Shuyao.

Almost a year had passed since the World Cup last year. During the national team's training, Li Mengxi humbly asked Qin Mowen a lot of technical questions that she did not know about in the past.

Qin Mowen did not deliberately hold back because of the positive competition between the two of them. Instead, she generously shared the technical skills that she was good at with Li Mengxi without any grudges.

This time, Li Mengxi's hands-on hands-on hands-on speed increased the cooperation speed of the China female rehearsals. The moment Zhou Shuyao inserted the ball into the ball, Xia Zhi, Fang Han and Xiong Xin, who were in the front row of the China female volleyball, prepared to throw the ball at the same time.

For the Turk female volleyball defender, it was impossible for them to effectively block the three attackers at the same time, so they wanted to "bet" on Fang Han and Xia Zhi.

Fang Han's No. 2 fast ball attracted one of the blocking players on one side of the net. Xia Zhi's draw on the other side of the net attracted two blocking players. However, in front of the arms of these two main attacking players, there was no shadow of volleyball.

At the same time, the substitute, Xiong Xin, who had just entered the court, quickly bypassed Zhou Shuyao and jumped up in the No. 3 position in the center of the net.

At this moment, the 9. 5 meter long volleyball net had given Xiong Xin ample space to use. In front of her, there was no other player blocking her.

"Pa!"

Xiong Xin did not waste this opportunity, nor did she let down Zhou Shuyao's exquisite memorization.

23 to 24!

The China female platoon tenaciously caught up to a point!

Lorenzo instantly pressed the beeping device. The Turkey female platoon did not stop this round. Lorenzo applied for a video challenge.

"What is the content of the challenge?" The assistant judge asked him.

Lorenzo was obviously stunned. He had asked for the challenge by adapting to the situation. It was just to disrupt the counter-attack rhythm of the China female rehearsals and to use the video challenge as a timeout.

The assistant judge asked again. The Turk female volleyball assistant coach reacted quickly and reminded him loudly, "Challenge the China female volleyball player to slam the ball and touch the net!"

Xiong Xin clearly understood that she did not slam the ball into the net this time. The China female volleyball team composed themselves and did not waste the "pause" opportunity created by the Turk female volleyball. Everyone went to the side of the court to listen to Wei Xindi's strategy.

As expected, the result of the video challenge was soon released. The Turkey female platoon failed the challenge and the match began again.

"We must strive to successfully defend against the opponent's attack this time. After that, we must firmly cooperate with a fast ball tactic. The Turkey female volleyball is very good at this!" Wei Xindi gave the final instructions to the team members who were preparing to go on stage.

This time, it was Xiao Xiao's turn to serve the China female volleyball. - Among the current China female volleyball players on the court, Xiao Xiao's serve was relatively stable, but the impact was relatively weaker.

"Easy Bro, relax and daringly serve!" Fang Han told Xiao Xiao.

"We are in front of the Internet!" Xia Zhi also shouted from the side.

Xiao Xiao nodded her head and walked towards the serve area. She received the volleyball thrown by the caddy and seriously patted it a few times on the ground.

Although Xiao Xiao was doing her best to send the ball as a threat, the fully prepared Turk Freeman, Sariollo, still managed to deliver a nearly perfect score.

Xia Zhi did not need to guess to know that Otis would definitely pass the final shot to their only offensive core, Khalikura.

Almost all the other players watched as the volleyball drew a beautiful arc in the air from Otis' hands. At the same time, Summer and Khalikura both jumped up.

Why, was Khalikura's slam dunk so casual? Xia Zhi's eyes widened. After a short pause in the air, she and Khalikut's bodies fell almost at the same time.

However, another player's figure suddenly appeared behind Khalikut. It was the assistant attack, Alda!

Oh no, why didn't I notice this assistant attack? Xia Zhi thought, still trying to stretch out his arm to block the net, but she knew. . . This was already useless. . .

The referee blew the whistle.

23: 25, China's female lead's first defeat.

During the exchange, Xia Zhi glanced at the venue. He glanced at the Turkey female lead that was walking across from him. A tall member smiled at her.

It was a familiar face, but it seemed like it had been a long time since he last saw her.

Ah! Xia Zhi was stunned. She remembered. That was the Turk's young female platoon's main attack, Muris, the other attacking core of the Turk's female platoon!

In this match, Muris had yet to go on stage.

Was her injury not healed yet? Xia Zhi wondered, could it be. . .

When he thought of this, Xia Zhi was stunned.
