For people who are messing around, college is very boring, with nothing to do all day, idle panic, and feeling that time flies too slowly and too slowly; And for people who have ideals and pursuits, they are still relatively busy. I am very embarrassed to say that I am such an ideal and pursuing person, I not only have to study, but also participate in various activities, some of which I have asked to participate in, and some of which I have been asked to participate in.

Since the physical education class in the sophomore year is mainly taught volleyball, in the second half of the sophomore year, the grade organizes a volleyball game with the class as a unit. The game is a mixed male and female system, each class on the field of three men and three women, in addition to a man and a woman as a substitute, for the sake of fairness, the maximum number of boys on the field can not exceed three, if the number of boys is insufficient, can be replaced by girls, this rule fully reflects the status quo of more women and fewer boys in our school.

For this kind of competition, I naturally can't run away, because there are not many boys in the class who love sports, and when most people's volleyball foundation is infinitely close to zero, boys like me, who usually love sports, will learn much faster. Therefore, the boys in our volleyball team are basically members of the football team and basketball team, me, Zhang Yunlou and Fan Rupeng are the main forces, and the substitute is Zhang Chu. The girls are Xue Yunyan, Bao Hongyan, Wen Fang and Fan Chunhua, compared with the other three, Wen Fang, who looks quiet and thin, can be selected for the main lineup, which makes me very surprised.

Two weeks before the start of the game, the head teacher Zhou determined the lineup and asked us to train on the playground every afternoon, and appointed Xue Yunyan as the captain, once again explaining that the volleyball game is a girls' game, and the boys are just a foil.

During the training, everyone was still idealistic about playing a pass, a setter, a setter, and a smash match like a volleyball game on TV, but it turned out that we couldn't play at all at our level, as long as we could serve the ball over the net and the opponent could send it over the net, thank God. This is too far from my ideal volleyball game, I think of watching Lin Qian play volleyball in high school, and then watching us play, it's really not comparable.

In the team, my skills are the best, there is no problem with serving and receiving, and there is a certain degree of accuracy, and Fan Rupeng can be selected as the main force, mainly because he is tall and has good bounce, in fact, his skills are not as good as Zhang. To my surprise, Wen Fang, who looks weak, can't do strength, speed, bounce, and wears a pair of glasses, no matter how she looks like a person who can exercise, but her serve is surprisingly stable, everyone can serve over the net, and the catch is not bad, no wonder she can enter the main lineup.

The match day is finally coming, because it is a mixed match, there are naturally more spectators than football, which is a purely boys' sport, and many people are here to join in the fun or watch handsome guys and beauties, as for the game itself, it is not so important. Moreover, for the sake of fairness, it is stipulated that the sports students of the school volleyball team can only serve as referees, and it is difficult to participate in the game, so the level of the game can be said to be miserable. The six people on one side are basically in a fixed position, all of them are active in their own areas, there is no running and filling, no passing cooperation, not to mention smashing and blocking.

Our class was lucky, the first game of the preliminary round was against the ideological and political education class of the Marxist Department, the number of people in this class was very small, and it was not easy to get together six players on the field. In the first game, we served first, and naturally I was the best at the game, and I served six balls in a row, and they didn't catch any of them, and their captain immediately called a timeout. I thought to myself, this is going to be too easy.

After the pause, I continued to serve, their timeout still seemed to have an effect, the eighth ball I served, they finally took it, the ball fell to our side near Fan Rupeng, Fan Rupeng made a hard catch, and the result was out of bounds. Changing serves, it was finally the opponent's turn to serve, and the opponent sent two balls in a row, but our side couldn't catch them. The third ball, they just sent it to me in front of me, I squeezed it with both hands, the ball went over the net, a girl on the other side actually picked the ball over again, the ball came straight towards me again, I checked it again, the ball passed again, and the other party failed to catch it. This time, there were two rounds back and forth, which was a rare moment in this game, and there was a round of applause on the sidelines.

It's our turn to serve again, and the second one to serve is Xue Yunyan, she has sent several balls in a row, and one of them was swept over by the opponent and then pushed back by Zhang Yunlou. And just like that, we quickly led 12-2 in the first game. Next, Xue Yunyan sent a ball too heavily out of bounds, and it was the opponent's turn to serve, but the opponent's serve actually made a mistake and failed to cross the net. Next is Fan Rupeng's serve, Fan Rupeng sent two in a row, fourteen to two, and won one more game to win.

Fan Rupeng may have been too excited or too nervous, the ball was sent too hard, out of bounds, and it was the opponent's turn to serve. The opponent's boy who served this time had a lot of strength, and several balls were sent to our backcourt, and no one on our side could catch them, and when it was fourteen to six, we finally took the ball, and the right to serve returned to us.

Next is Bao Hongyan's serve, she sent a ball, the opponent didn't catch it, and we won the first game. We high-fived each other in celebration and there was a round of applause on the sidelines.

In the second game, the opponent served first, and the first ball was not sent, it was Zhang Yunlou's turn to serve, Zhang Yunlou sent two in the past, and was received by the opponent to one, and the right to serve returned to the opponent's side. The opponent then scored three points in a row, leading 3-0, everyone on the field seemed to be a little anxious, Xue Yunyan clapped his hands and shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, it's only three balls, it's okay!" ”

The opponent sent another ball, just to Wen Fang's area, Wen Fang squeezed hard, the ball went over the net at once, the opponent failed to receive it, and the right to serve finally returned to our side. Finally it was Wen Fang's turn to serve, only to see Wen Fang take two deep breaths, then looked at the opposite side, looked at the ball in his hand, put on a serving posture, paused, and then gently threw the ball with his left hand, and served with his right hand, the ball passed the net steadily, the opponent did not receive it, and our side scored.

Then Wen Fang served with the same rhythm, the rhythm of this serve was very slow, so slow that even our own people were made very nervous by her, but this rhythm was even more torment for the opposing team. Wen Fang sent fourteen balls in a row, but the opponent didn't catch any of them, and finally the fifteenth ball, the opponent took it, otherwise it would have created a miracle of scoring fifteen points in a row.

With so much lead and match point again, it seemed that the opponent had completely lost the confidence to fight back, and it didn't take long for us to take the last point and win comfortably 2-0. While celebrating the victory with everyone, I thought to myself, what kind of game is this, it's so much different from the volleyball game I watched on TV, it's just a serve game.

After the game, everyone went to other venues together, and they were basically in the same situation as us, and they could generally score points when the serve went over the net. After the transfer, Xue Yunyan organized everyone to sit on the side of the court and held a summary meeting. Xue Yunyan said: "Everyone performed well today, make persistent efforts to qualify." Fan Rupeng said: "The main reason is that the opponent is too weak. Fan Chunhua said: "It's okay for you to be modest." Zhang Yunlou said: "Wen Fang's performance today is too good, and he scored 14 points in a row, and the other party is stupid." Everyone chimed in: "Yes, yes, it's amazing." ”

Wen Fang was not good at words, blushing and lowering her head, with an embarrassed smile on her face. Xue Yunyan said: "But I don't think our return in this game is very ideal, I have observed, most of the time it is the serve to score, if we can improve the success rate of the return, it will be better than other teams." Everyone nodded in agreement.

I said: "I think there are two things we need to work on, one is the accuracy of the serve, not only to be able to serve over the net, but also to be able to hit the more difficult positions for the opponent. When everyone heard this, they said, "This is too difficult." Zhang said: "I think it would be good to be able to send the ball safely." I said, "Today we didn't have a strong team, but in the future if we meet a team that is a little bit better at returning, it will be very difficult for us." ”

Fan Chunhua said: "But what you said is really too difficult for us. I said, "Then there is another way, we can strengthen the positioning, the person who receives the ball well can increase the range of movement, and after the opponent's ball is served, the person who receives the ball will be given priority." Xue Yunyan said: "That's okay, let's focus on practicing the return serve, Zhang Chu and Chunhua are responsible for the serve, and the others practice the return serve and move." ”

Fan Rupeng said: "I don't think we can play like this, there is no technical content at all, don't rush the opponent's ball, pass it and then deduct it, then the opponent will definitely not be able to catch it." Everyone said, "Wow, how is that possible?" "It's good to be able to take it, and we definitely can't cooperate at this level." Fan Rupeng said: "Volleyball is played like this, as long as you can pass the ball, watch me dunk a button." Fan Chunhua said: "You have it, you can't catch the ball steadily, and you still smash the ball?" Save it. ”

We found a place to start practicing the serve, my return is the best, Xue Yunyan and Zhang Yunlou are basically fine, Wen Fang is actually not a big problem, but she is small, and she doesn't run fast enough, and occasionally she can't run in place. Fan Rupeng and Bao Hongyan need to focus on practice, the stability of their two serves is not good enough, and the stability of their serves is not as good as the four of us.

Later, we let Fan Rupeng, Bao Hongyan and Wen Fang be alone in one half, and kept serving for them to catch, Fan Rupeng was very impatient, and after playing for a while, he shouted to dunk the ball, and was criticized by all of us.
