Chapter 17 Preparation for the Games
Because Friday's friendly match was at 3 p.m., everyone still had nearly two days to run in. Due to the addition of Sun Jiafei and Yang Xueqing, the confidence of the whole team has been greatly increased, for this reason, Zhang Meiting reached an agreement after communicating with everyone and prepared to come to the two-day training camp. Hearing the training camp, everyone not only did not complain, but was full of expectations.
The next day, everyone came to the volleyball court early and began to run in the lineup. The team listened to Sun Jiafei's suggestion and did not change the original style of play, but only replaced two of the attackers with Sun Jiafei and Yang Xueqing, and in order to maintain a stable offensive point, they stood diagonally. As Sun Jiafei said, volleyball is a team sport, and one or two people can't win the game. At the beginning, the team did not become stronger because of their joining, but was much weaker than usual, and made mistakes again and again, because they usually didn't need to pass the ball in place, everyone was padding around, and now if they want to pass the ball to Sun Jiafei and Yang Xueqing, everyone won't play.
Sun Jiafei is okay, she adapts quickly to this style of play, and has tried to play before before to respond, so no matter which side it takes, it will be the same for her. However, Yang Xueqing is not very adaptable, she was fine when she was in the fourth position, but when she got to the second position, she either made a mistake or couldn't dunk the ball, and the passing was not very good, so she was really upset.
"Hey, how can you pass the ball? How do you play a ball like this? Yang Xueqing didn't dunk the ball again, and said irritably.
Originally, I was very nervous, but when I heard Yang Xueqing say this, the girl named Lan Lan was also very angry, "I didn't pass it well, but why can Jiajia be detained?" It's not that you're not at your own level! ”
Yang Xueqing heard others say this about herself, and just about to have a seizure, Sun Jiafei said: "Volleyball requires team cooperation, we can't complain about each other, we have to help each other, if you really feel that the pass is not good, you should not complain, but try your best to make up for the mistakes of your teammates, this is the team." After a day of getting along, Yang Xueqing became more and more convinced of Sun Jiafei, whether it was technology or theory, Sun Jiafei was much better than her.
After a day of running-in, everyone has obviously improved, and the cooperation has become tacit. On Friday morning, everyone gave up their time and gathered together again to start practicing.
"That's it for today, the game is going to be in the afternoon, everyone will have lunch together, and then go back to the dormitory to have a good night's sleep, and we will meet this game in the fullest state in the afternoon!" Zhang Meiting is very happy to see everyone's efforts and progress, with the addition of Sun Jiafei and Yang Xueqing, the strength of the team has increased greatly, especially Sun Jiafei, not only has strong personal strength, but also can help everyone improve together.
In the cafeteria, a group of girls laughed and laughed, and you said that I laughed, "Jiajia, do you think we can win this game?" ”
"Yes, yes, we have Jiajia and Xueqing now, we should have a chance, right?" Someone suddenly asked.
"I don't know much about the strength of the University of Economics and Business, but I think I can't beat it." Sun Jiafei analyzed with a smile: "I said that volleyball is not something that can be changed by one or two people, not to mention that we have been running in for a day or two, volleyball is more about details, but you can't win the game just by smashing the ball." After speaking, Sun Jiafei also looked at Yang Xueqing intentionally or unintentionally, but Yang Xueqing didn't know if she deliberately pretended not to hear, and kept her head down to eat.
"Jiajia is right, you think too much, don't just make a little progress and feel invincible in the world, we haven't played against the economic and trade women's volleyball team, that's the top four level in the province." Zhang Meiting and the economic and trade women's volleyball team are opponents who have been playing for almost four years, so they naturally know that the opponent is terrible, and it is difficult for them to pick up just by serving.
Hearing Sun Jiafei and Zhang Meiting's words, everyone was obviously a little disappointed, they were full of confidence, but they were hit by the incompleteness, Sun Jiafei saw everyone's silence, smiled and said: "Everyone cares so much about winning or losing?" That's a good thing, only if you care about winning or losing, you can always work hard, in fact, I think the charm of volleyball is not just winning or losing, but after unremitting efforts to make yourself stronger, and then stand on the court and do your best, win the respect of the opponent and the applause of the audience, if at that time, do you still think that the result is so important? ”
Sun Jiafei's words rekindled everyone's hope again, and Zhang Meiting gave Sun Jiafei a thumbs up. After eating, everyone went back to their respective dormitories and slept comfortably, and then came to the gymnasium full of energy.
This is the first time Sun Jiafei has come to the school's gymnasium. It was a gymnasium that could accommodate thousands of people, a luxurious stadium, a super large venue, and a spacious auditorium, and the basketball nets on the basketball hoops on both sides were new, but it was just a huge field, volleyball nets?
"Give it, everything is here, press it yourself." Just as Sun Jiafei was looking at the venue, a voice that was not very harmonious sounded. "Really, there's no one, and there's always a game, so it's not too troublesome."
I saw a man in his fifties take a bunch of volleyball rack accessories and volleyball nets, put them on the ground, and then left.
Zhang Meiting said to everyone embarrassedly: "It's going to be hard for everyone again, let's install a volleyball net café together." After saying that, he walked to the middle of the venue with a bunch of things, and everyone began to get busy.
"Isn't it? Do we need to build the net ourselves? Ay. Yang Xueqing complained and walked over.
Sun Jiafei smiled and followed, for her, it was good to be able to play, and as for the external conditions, she could overcome them. When I was in high school, the school didn't have a separate volleyball court, and I had to set up a volleyball net by myself every time I practiced, but I didn't feel hard because of all the girls, and everyone regarded everything as training, so the relationship was so good.
After everyone's efforts, the volleyball net was finally completed, and after Zhang Meiting saw it, she said to Sun Jiafei: "Jiajia, do you think we need to practice anymore?" ”
"No need, senior sister, don't be so nervous before the game, and it's my first time in this venue, I want to get used to it first, but we can warm up together in a while." Sun Jiafei looked at this unfamiliar venue, thinking that he would spend all four years of his youth here.
"Okay, then I'll give everyone a break."
Sun Jiafei began to grope for every place in the venue, she walked in this familiar and unfamiliar venue, looking at these new teammates, full of emotion, since knowing that Liu Keqi and Yu Xinru no longer play volleyball, she was very disappointed, however, life is always full of uncertainty, coming to a new environment, with new teammates, and also started a new journey for her.
Suddenly, Sun Jiafei thought of something, walked up to Zhang Meiting, and asked, "By the way, senior sister, does our volleyball team have a coach?" ”
"Coach?" Hearing Sun Jiafei ask the coach, Zhang Meiting stopped talking and said: "Nominally, the team has a coach, but our coach doesn't know volleyball very well. ”
"Don't know volleyball?" Hearing Zhang Meiting's answer, Sun Jiafei was a little confused, what does it mean to not understand volleyball, so how to be a volleyball team coach.
"Because the volleyball team usually has no training, and the results are not good, in fact, there is no coach at all, but the club and the team must have an instructor, otherwise it is not allowed to be established and participate in the competition, so naturally there is a nominal coach, who usually does not appear, and we only go to him when we sign up for the game." Zhang Meiting explained.
"Oh, I see." Sun Jiafei suddenly realized.
After Sun Jiafei's question, Zhang Meiting seemed to think of something, "By the way, Jiajia, you can be the coach in today's game, you usually rely on me, but I don't know anything in fact, you can take on a part-time role in the future." ”
"Senior sister, let's come today, after all, I'm not very familiar with everyone, and I still need to run in, and I'll talk about it later." Sun Jiafei did not be polite with Zhang Meiting, but what she said was the truth, it is indeed a little inappropriate for her to be a newcomer to command everyone, of course, if the team needs to develop in the future, Sun Jiafei will naturally be responsible.
"Okay, Jiajia, we'll discuss something together then."
"Okay."
As the time for the game approached, everyone became nervous, however, a familiar voice broke the tension.
"Jiajia, Jiajia, we're here!" It was none other than Li Xiaoyao and Wang Ruolin. As the best friends of the dormitory, they heard that the volleyball team had a game, so they naturally wanted to cheer for Sun Jiafei, and this was Sun Jiafei's first game.
"Xiaoyao, Ruolin, you're here, hey, where is the great man?" Sun Jiafei looked at it and asked.
"Hmph, speaking of this stupid big guy, it really makes Ben Cute angry, and said that I want to cheer for you together, but she said that their basketball team can't come after training, it's so annoying!" Li Xiaoyao pouted, pinched her waist, and said with a cute face.
"It's okay, it seems that Wei Nan is doing well in the basketball team, isn't it good for everyone to have their own lives."
"By the way, Jiajia, how is the strength of your team? Can you win? ”
"The opponent is the University of Economics and Business, which is the top four in the province, and our side is too bad, and it is difficult to win against them."
"Huh? Can't you even have Jiajia? Then why are you joining the volleyball team, you are almost like poverty alleviation, you might as well dance with me! ”
"It's not just about winning or losing, it's about enjoying the process, I like the feeling of doing my best on the field, of course it's best to win, and I don't regret losing."
"Jiajia, you look so good when you say that." Li Xiaoyao looked at Sun Jiafei like a little fan girl, and then, she looked at the time and asked, "Jiajia, isn't your game three o'clock?" It's more than 2:40, why hasn't anyone on the other side come yet? ”
Sun Jiafei listened to Li Xiaoyao's words, and also felt very strange, normally, you have to come to the scene at least thirty minutes in advance to warm up, it's all at this time, isn't the opponent coming?
Just then, the door to the gymnasium was pushed open, and they finally arrived!
