Chapter X
It's late autumn, the leaves of the plane trees on the campus are slowly falling, and the maple leaves of the more than a dozen maple trees in the grove look particularly energetic, red and purple. In the gust of autumn wind, the students have already put on autumn clothes, and some girls even put on sweaters, and the winter in Jiuliwan comes earlier than in other places.
The annual three-ball tournament is in full swing. After about three weeks of preliminary and semi-finals, the men's volleyball, women's volleyball and men's basketball teams of Class 5 of Class 91 have all entered the top four and qualified for the top three. The head teacher, Mr. Wang Dashun, is very proud and attaches great importance to the final round. A working group for the final stage was set up in the class, including a service team (mainly providing tea, face wash and towels), a cheerleading team, a publicity team and a reserve team. Mr. Wang also hired several physical education teachers to provide technical guidance and put forward the goal of "striving for one and guaranteeing two".
Zhao Hongyi, who is not good at sports and is not very interested, was appointed as the head of the propaganda team, and he should timely transmit everyone's mental state of tenacious struggle on the field to the campus radio to cheer for the athletes. This is a piece of cake for Zhao Hongyi, he can't play, can't he appreciate and describe it? "At that time, as long as you play well, I will definitely not be a vegetarian with a large pen, and I guarantee that all kinds of rhetorical devices will be used!" Zhao Hongyi secretly made up his mind.
The fifth class men's basketball team has the strength to win the championship. The day before yesterday, they just narrowly defeated the third class 26:22, and tomorrow they will compete with the first class for the championship, which is really a difficult day! In the past month, Wang Zhen and his five main players have been sticking to the basketball court almost as soon as they have time, and they have been beaten black and strong one by one, and the sweat that has flowed from each of them is at least five liters without a fight. After entering the semi-finals, this 10-member basketball team seized the time to practice, and also took the other two participating teams as imaginary opponents to repeatedly compete, and everyone agreed that as long as the No. 6 and No. 12 of the first class were "nailed", then everyone could give full play to their technical advantages and fully blossom. The point is to make it impossible for the opponent to carry out the reciprocal marking tactics against the players of the fifth class, everyone is a star, what can the opponent do? When it comes to playing basketball, Wang Zhen is full of confidence.
Finally, it was the turn of the 91st level basketball championship and runner-up finals (except for the physical education class), and the five classes and the first class were played. All the students of Class 5 and Class 1 came to the lighted stadium early with stools and sat down and waited for the game to start. The service teams, cheerleaders and other emergency response teams of the two squads are all in place, and everyone is ready for battle.
Wang Zhen, the captain of the team, and the captain of the first team, together with the referee, slapped their hands behind their hands to decide who had the priority to choose the venue. Wang Zhen arrived at the shot and obtained the selection qualification, he chose the east field with a slight advantage in the terrain, and never started the war, the fifth class has taken the lead, and the players are full of confidence in psychology and momentum.
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the cheerleaders of Class 5 and Class 1 immediately boiled.
"Come on Class 5! The fifth oldest in the class is like a wolf! I look at the opponent, cat and mouse"
"Class by class, extraordinary. Pass the level, the tiger descends the mountain! ”
The main battlefield has not yet been confronted, and the cheerleaders are soaring, and the sound is covering layer after layer, one after another. The two sides watched very closely, and two minutes passed, and the score was still 0:0. The head teacher of the first class called the first timeout, and the two sides urgently made tactical adjustments.
The whistle blew and the ball was served by the fifth shift. In the audience below, everyone held their breath and opened their eyes wide. I saw Wang Zhen's face flushed, and his hands dribbled alternately. Quickly shook off the defense of the opposing two players, dribbled and made a layup in three steps, jumped into the air, and the ball went in! At 2:0, the fifth class took the lead in achieving a breakthrough of zero. Once the spell and balance is broken, scoring goals is not a difficult task.
The opponent's No. 8 was careless, and the ball in his hand was actually snatched away by Zhang Bo, and Zhang Bo passed it to Sun Hao, Sun Hao smashed the ball and hit a beautiful three-point shot! "yes yes!" The fifth class cheerleader let out a burst of cheers.
At the end of the first half, the fifth class temporarily led 18:10. During the break, the female students of Class 5 performed aerobics, and the girls of Class 1 performed a hula hoop dance, and the two sides did not show weakness to each other.
The second half begins! The venue is not good for the fifth class, just two minutes, let the first class pour two balls in succession, and the score on the field has become 14:18. The members of the fifth class obviously felt a little impatient, and the momentum of the first class of players came up! Mr. Wang hurriedly called the first timeout, and the coach invited to carefully analyze the situation on the field for everyone, and asked everyone to play well according to the predetermined tactics, especially to adjust the mentality, "The other party is more anxious than you, remember one thing: whoever is impatient, who is out." ”
Wang Zhen broke the ball successfully! Quickly countered by a player who conceded the ball, he took three steps and made two steps, broke through two defensive lines with the ball, ran straight to the rebound, and hit another two-pointer.
"Beautiful!" The team members high-fived Wang Zhen and encouraged. The situation on the field began to develop in the favorable direction of the fifth class again. The best state of the team members is out, and it is in full bloom! Everyone is the protagonist, and the team members don't know who to focus on. Luo Jun, who had been unknown, also began to go crazy, and after half a spin, he magically grabbed the basketball that had flown overhead, and then sank his hands, holding the ball on his waist, and then picked up the basketball alone with his right hand, drew a beautiful arc, and smashed the basketball into the basket sideways.
"3 points!" The referee shouted, and the fifth-class cheerleaders went crazy, "Luo Jun Luo Jun, we love you, flowers and applause for you!" ”
"Dudu Dudu", the whistle of the final game sounded, and the fifth class won the victory with a score of 42:26 and won the championship of the ninety-level basketball game! Class 5 participated in four games, won four battles and won four battles, like four lightning bolts that completely ignited the passion of Class 5. The celebration lasted for a whole day, and the other brother classes were full of hatred for it, saying that they were crazy, and if they fought again in the coming year, they must let you taste defeat.
After the basketball game, it's time for the volleyball game. Many of the players in the fifth class of the men's volleyball team are also basketball players, and they are busy with basketball games during this time, so they naturally abandon their volleyball training. In addition, in order to win the basketball championship some time ago, everyone went all out and overdrew a lot of physical strength. Although it has entered the semi-finals, it seems that it is not easy to win gold and silver. As expected, both games were lost, 2:3 and 1:3 respectively. Everyone pinned their hopes on the women's volleyball team, hoping to save a little face.
The volleyball court is located on the south side of the track and field field, adjacent to the new basketball court, where the 91st women's volleyball semifinals were played. Class 5 sent a strong lineup composed of Chen Hui, Zhou Li, Liu Mei, Wu Xiaoqin, Huang Rong and other main players, and there was no shortage of practice during this time, and Mr. Wang even let them use the self-study class time and the men's volleyball team in the class to do confrontation practice.
Today's game will determine whether you can enter the championship and runner-up battle, and the opponent is the fourth class women's volleyball team. In order to show unity and protect the heart of flowers, some boys in Class 5 also spontaneously organized to buy more than a dozen cans of Jianlibao, which is said to be refreshing when drunk, and has explosive power at critical moments.
Volleyball, like football, is very new to students who go on to normal schools. Everyone started from scratch, and it has only been more than two months since they started learning and participating in the competition today. Everyone starts with the cushion ball: spread the feet apart, squat half-way, keep the hands and body at 45 degrees, and then use the elasticity of the feet to cushion the ball upwards...... In order to meet this competition, the Iron Girls of Class 5 have lost count of how many times they have cushioned the ball against the wall, how many times they have practiced throwing the ball, how many times they have served, and how many times they have smashed...... Now they are no longer the people who didn't know anything about volleyball in the past, now they are the main attackers, each of them is perfect with everyone's cooperation, any person will be ruthless in the face of five opponents, give her a bottom line, she can use the serve to disperse the opponent, give her a setter, she can lock the score with the ball.
The race is on! Served by the No. 8 of the fourth class, she served the upper handball, which was extremely powerful! The ball she serves is powerful enough, and it flies when she touches it, which is very difficult to catch! She served three balls in quick succession, and the score was 3:0. What to do, the team leader Chen Hui made a quick decision, five people pressed to the backcourt, and finally caught a ball, a setter, and a smash! The opponent did not catch it, and the change of serve was 0:3. It's the turn of the fifth class to serve, Huang Rong is not Huang Rong, but the lethality of the serve seems to be the true pass of Peach Blossom Island, the height is appropriate, the spin is fast, and the first ball is scored directly! She served 4 balls in a row and it was a 3-3 draw. On the fourth ball, after the opponent hit back, he hit the second position, Huang Rong didn't have time to run back to the second position, and the other teammates didn't realize the fill, Huang Rong ran up quickly, pounced on the ground, and wanted to shovel the ball, but it missed.
After two rounds, the two sides fought to a 1:1 draw. Because the game is a best-of-three system, and the third game is a tiebreaker between the two sides, the smell of gunpowder on the court is very strong. The score has been biting very tightly, 1:1, 3:3, 18:18, and finally the stalemate reached 23:23, neither side can even score two points, and the fifth class scored 1 point directly with the serve and led again. On the second serve, he was too cautious and gave the opponent a good pass, and now the only thing to do is to defend and counterattack! The fourth class clearly wanted to regain serve and then fight to a draw. The ball quickly hit Zhou Li's hand, and Zhou Li thought to herself that she must have landed! As a result, with a bang, it was rescued, and it was Chen Hui in the back row who rescued him! But due to the poor quality, the setter only barely sent the ball a certain distance, Zhou Li didn't think about it, took a big step forward, jumped, and killed! Score! In the end, the fifth class won the third game 25:23 and won the ticket to the championship and runner-up competition.
The competition for the championship and runner-up is far less laborious than the semi-finals, and the fifth class played against the second class, and won the championship easily with two consecutive games 2:0 without any suspense.
The achievement of the two double championships of men's basketball and women's volleyball is like two silver lightning bolts illuminating the sky of Class 5 of Class 91, which greatly satisfies everyone's sense of achievement and vanity, and also stimulates everyone's self-confidence. Throughout the week, all the students of Class 5 were immersed in the sea of victory and happiness. At this time, it is already December, and in another month there will be the annual celebration of the New Year's Day, and at the same time, the study of various subjects has also entered a critical period.
