I thought that they could train hard and lead them to show their skills in the provincial competition with the strength of Sun Jiafei and others, but I didn't expect the situation in the province to be as optimistic as they imagined.

"Jianing, how are they grouped in that province?" Zhang Meiting asked at Sun Jiafei's signal.

"In previous years, there were 16 teams, divided into four groups, and the top four teams each year will be divided into four groups, so as to avoid strong teams in advance." Song Jianing replied.

"I see!" Zhang Meiting suddenly realized.

"But this year is different!" Song Jianing said suddenly.

"Oh, how is it different?" Hearing Song Jianing's words, Zhang Meiting hurriedly asked, this is also what everyone wants to know.

"Don't you know? This year, our city will send four teams to participate in the provincial competition! Song Jianing suddenly changed his words and said.

"Four teams?" When Zhang Meiting and others heard it, they were stunned.

According to the regulations of the city, the top two teams in the city competition every year are eligible to participate in the provincial competition, in previous years, they were the women's volleyball team of economics and trade and the women's volleyball team of the medical university, but the medical university did not allow them to participate in the provincial competition, so every year there is only one team of the women's volleyball team in the city, how to come out of the four teams this year, this is impossible.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Song Jianing continued: "This year, the city feels that the level of major schools has improved a lot, and it pays more attention to it, and many teams participating in the provincial competition may not be as good as the Xiangdong women's volleyball team and the Shanhai women's volleyball team, so the city fought with the province and asked four teams to participate in the provincial competition." ”

After Song Jianing explained, everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, although the Xiangdong women's volleyball team and the Shanhai women's volleyball team were not as good as them, their strength was still okay, and there was no problem at all in participating in the provincial competition, but they didn't expect the city to suddenly pay attention to volleyball.

Song Jianing seemed to guess everyone's thoughts, and said: "In previous years, only our economic and trade women's volleyball team participated in the provincial competition, and it was not good to be ridiculed by other cities, and sports in the city may also be affected, but fortunately, our results are not bad, otherwise we really have no face at all." ”

After Song Jianing finished speaking, Zhang Meiting coughed embarrassedly, not that they didn't want to participate, but the school didn't let them, but even if they participated, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to win a game, and it would be even more embarrassing at that time.

As if seeing Zhang Meiting's embarrassment, Song Jianing continued: "This year is good, not only there are more Xiangdong women's volleyball teams and Shanhai women's volleyball teams, but also your dark horse, when it comes to the provincial competition, it will definitely open the eyes of those people!" ”

After Song Jianing finished speaking, she didn't forget to look at Sun Jiafei and the others, her meaning was obvious, referring to Sun Jiafei and the three of them, and the others were far behind her!

Speaking of which, the players of the women's volleyball team of the Medical University are looking forward to the provincial competition.

Song Jianing continued: "Because our city has increased to four teams to participate, other cities have also put forward requirements to want four teams to participate, especially some cities with strong cities, such as the city where Communication University and United University are located, there were originally four teams to participate, and now it has become six!" ”

After Song Jianing finished speaking, everyone opened their mouths wide, what is the situation? With so many more teams at once, wouldn't it be more difficult to play in the provincial competition?

"How many teams are there in the end?" Zhang Meiting hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Thirty-two!"

"So much?!"

It's really rare to hear that so many teams are participating in the provincial competition! Is this a call for all the teams that play volleyball in all the cities?

Seeing everyone's worried, Song Jianing said: "Actually, don't be so surprised, don't worry, many teams are coming to the provincial competition to increase experience, and the strength will not be outstanding. ”

Hearing Song Jianing say this, everyone was a little relieved.

"Then how do so many teams fight?" Zhang Meiting asked suspiciously.

"Divided into eight groups, each group of four teams, respectively, round-robin, the top two qualify, and then two by two, direct elimination, and finally determine the top eight!" Song Jianing explained.

The provincial competitions are all competitions for the top eight, and in order to make all the teams work hard, the top eight teams are rewarded.

"In this grouping, the top eight teams in last year's provincial competition will be divided into eight groups, and at the same time, Communication University and United University will lead the upper and lower divisions respectively, so as to avoid them meeting in advance, and the other teams need to draw lots to make a temporary decision." Song Jianing continued.

After Song Jianing finished speaking, everyone nodded, such a distribution is indeed very reasonable, avoiding the strong teams from meeting in advance, and reducing the luck component, but in this way, you have to rely on hard power to pass the test, if you want to enter the finals, you must pass the test of one of the teams of Communication University and United University!

"Then, Jianing, which group are you in?" Zhang Meiting asked curiously.

"We're in Group C!" When he said this, Song Jianing suddenly became serious.

"What's wrong, Jianing?" After Song Jianing finished speaking, the players of the economic and trade women's volleyball team became serious, and Zhang Meiting asked nervously.

"It's nothing, this year's grouping is very bad for us." Song Jianing slowed down and said.

"What's wrong? Aren't they all going to be separated? Zhang Meiting asked even more suspiciously.

"This year's grouping, there are actually four divisions, Communication University and last year's eighth place in a division, we are in a division with Lanyang University, each division can only have one team left, the strength of Lanyang University is very strong, the major schools think that they are very promising to hit the third place this year, however, there are also people optimistic about us, I didn't expect us to meet in advance, the winner between us will meet with Communication University if nothing else, if you play a joint university, fight, there is still a chance, but Communication University is okay, No one can shake it! In the past two years, the strength of the United University has declined, but the Communication University is still growing, so whoever encounters it has no chance, so our group is not too good! Song Jianing analyzed.

"In this way, is Lanyang University so strong?" Zhang Meiting asked puzzled.

"Well, the strength of Lanyang University in the past two years has grown a little terrible, and the school attaches more importance to it, and the development is faster, the year before last, when the provincial competition, we fought against Lanyang University, at that time, it took four rounds to win them, and later, Lanyang University practiced hard for a year, and originally wanted to find us to take revenge, but we met the United University in advance and lost, otherwise, if we met last year, it is really hard to say." Song Jianing said calmly.

No one wants to admit that their team is weak, but they didn't expect Song Jianing to have the confidence to win against Lanyang University, it seems that this Lanyang University is really strong!

"Jianing, we believe that you will win against Lanyang University, your strength has become so much stronger this year, it will definitely be no problem!" Zhang Meiting encouraged.

"Well, maybe, I heard that this year's freshmen of Lanyang University have recruited very good team members, and they will be recruited in major high schools in the past three years!" Song Jianing said helplessly.

"That's it!" This time, even Zhang Meiting is very helpless, the economic and trade women's volleyball team basically does not know how to make special moves, but because of the good results, many girls who like to play volleyball will take the initiative to choose the economic and trade women's volleyball team, so the strength has always been very strong, but compared with the special moves, it is much worse.

"Well, I've also heard that Lanyang University has added a lot of good team members this year, and one of them is specially recruited, speaking of which, Jia Jia should be very familiar with them." At this time, Jiang Xinyue took over and said.

Sun Jiafei and the others saw Jiang Xinyue suddenly looking at them, they were stunned for a moment, and then realized something, those who are qualified to be specially recruited by such a strong school, except for them, there should only be members of the sixth middle school.

As if he had guessed the thoughts of Sun Jiafei and the others, Jiang Xinyue nodded and said, "You are right, it is the sixth middle school, and that person is very familiar with you." ”

"You can't be talking about Guan Simeng, right?" After Jiang Xinyue finished speaking, Liu Keqi suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's her." Jiang Xinyue replied.

As soon as Jiang Xinyue's words came out, Sun Jiafei, Liu Keqi and Yu Xinru immediately became aggressive, as if this name was a special existence for them.

Feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, Zhang Meiting coughed, relieved the embarrassment, and asked cautiously: "Jiajia, are you familiar with this person?" ”

Hearing Zhang Meiting's inquiry, Sun Jiafei slowed down and said, "This person is our sworn enemy. ”

As soon as Sun Jiafei's words came out, everyone was shocked, being able to be the sworn enemy of Sun Jiafei and others showed that this person's strength was very good.

"If Lanyang University was very strong before, and your strength was about the same, Guan Simeng went to Lanyang University again, then you don't have to think about it, you will definitely not be able to beat." Liu Keqi said unceremoniously to the players of the women's volleyball team.

After Liu Keqi finished speaking, the players of the economic and trade women's volleyball team were obviously not very happy, and they denied them before they played, but Song Jianing and Jiang Xinyue didn't care, in order to be able to better understand the opponent's situation, Song Jianing looked at Jiang Xinyue, Jiang Xinyue said: "Guan Simeng is in the same session as Jiajia, she was only a freshman in my third year of high school, but at that time her strength was stronger than me, and she also played the main force, which was the main attack, and she and Jiajia selected it back then." The position of the best attacker was lost, and the strength was very strong, and I don't know what happened later. ”

After Jiang Xinyue finished speaking, everyone gasped, they all knew Sun Jiafei's strength, and being comparable to Sun Jiafei showed that his strength was really strong!

"After that, she wants to compare Jiajia every year, but every year it is Jiajia's selection, however, Guan Simeng's strength can be said to be not much different from Jiajia, she should have opened very good conditions for going to Lanyang University, and Lanyang University has a good reputation, otherwise she can play the main force in Communication University with her strength." At this time, Yu Xinru, who has never liked to talk, said.

It seems that this Guan Simeng is really a fierce rival to them!

After listening to this, Song Jianing was shocked, can he compare with Jiajia, and is he still qualified to go to Communication University to play the main force? Could it be that this Guan Simeng is really so powerful? Doesn't that mean that the road ahead for them is going to be much more difficult this year?
