Chapter XXXVII
Our eight-in-four opponent is the accounting class of the same department as us, this class has more women than men, the level of girls is slightly stronger than our class, but the level of boys is slightly weaker than our class, we played this game is difficult to solve, and the score has been very tight. We lost the first game 12-15.
At half-time, we had a tactical disagreement, and Fan Rupeng thought that we should change the way we pass and smash the ball, otherwise we would not have any advantage in other aspects and would definitely not be able to win. But Fan Chunhua and Zhang Yunlou resolutely disagreed, they thought that this kind of ability to beat us was simply not enough, which would cause a lot of mistakes, but would lose points faster.
At this time, the captain Xue Yunyan spoke, she thought that it should also be safe, everyone should calm down, and fight with the opponent who makes fewer mistakes, and who serves and picks the ball more stable. Although I felt that what Fan Rupeng said was also a little reasonable, it was indeed a bit too risky, so I also echoed Xue Yunyan.
Fan Rupeng saw that everyone didn't listen to him, and he was immediately very angry, saying that he would not play in the next game. Xue Yunyan had no choice but to let Zhang come on as a substitute.
Zhang Chu's personality is not as rough as Fan Rupeng, and there is no blocking and smashing in our game, Fan Rupeng's height advantage is useless, but Zhang Chu's serve and ball are more stable, which is more suitable for our tactical ideas of who has fewer mistakes.
After Fan Rupeng, a discordant element, got off the field, everyone in the team became more united, fighting point by point, constantly encouraging each other, shouting to each other not to rush, to be stable. In the second game, we won 15-13 and everyone was very happy.
In the third game, we were in high spirits because we won a game, and we found the right tactics, so we played more and more steadily, while the opponent looked more and more impatient. We played more and more smoothly and finally won 15-10 and reached the semi-finals.
In Ms. Zhou's words, this is the first time that our major has reached the semi-finals of a grade volleyball game, so no matter whether she can go further or not, she will organize an outing for the whole class after the game.
Indeed, the semi-finals are the greatest height we can reach, because the semi-finals are against the physical education class of the Department of Physical Education, although professional sports students are not allowed to participate in the competition, but they cannot stop the team of the Department of Physical Education from crushing other teams. It is said that in their first few games, their opponents could score no more than two points per game, and they all gave away by their own mistakes.
Before the game, I thought to myself, is the team of the Department of Physical Education so exaggerated, and I only know that there is indeed a big gap when I fight, because the other party is cooperative! After we sent the ball, the opponent's first pass, second pass, and smash, although it is not as standard as what you watch on TV, and often it is not organized, but the basic skills are still much stronger than ours, even if you can't smash the ball in the end, but the ball hits the net is still no problem.
Knowing their previous results, we are not under pressure and we are aiming to score more than two points. So we are also playing steadily, because they have a smash, so the tall Fan Rupeng finally played a role, he gave full play to the characteristics of good bounce and fast movement, and stopped them several smashes, so that the opponent did not dare to let go too much to play offensive cooperation.
The opponent's level has improved, and our own level seems to have improved a lot, although we were pressed by the opponent throughout the game, but we still played a lot of wonderful balls. In the end, we scored five points in the first game and four points in the second game, exceeding the goal we set before the game.
We weren't discouraged by the defeat at the end of the game and everyone was happy because it was our best game since the start of the tournament, with a lot of good shots and nine points against such opponents combined.
As soon as the game ended, we didn't look forward to the outing promised by Mr. Zhou, so we first looked forward to Dai Lili and Wu Jing, who asked the teacher to ask for guilt, the two beauties were threatening and pretending to be pitiful, and the people in our dormitory had no temper, Fan Rupeng slipped away under the pretext of going to the toilet, and a few of us had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster, and invited a few people in their dormitory to go out for a big meal.
May Day is coming, and we still haven't looked forward to the outing promised by Mr. Zhou, and we are complaining one by one, but we have no choice, so we have to arrange our own May Day holiday itinerary.
Since the beginning of this semester, I have been in contact with Jia Tianer more frequently, because long-distance phone calls are more expensive, we mainly contact by letter, I will receive a letter from Jia Tianer every less than a month, and then I will reply to her. The letter at the beginning of April naturally mentioned the arrangements for the May Day holiday, and I thought that she had come to our school twice to see me, and if I didn't go to her school now, it would be a bit too much, so I decided to go on May Day.
After learning the news that I was going to Nanning, several people in our dormitory rushed to follow me, and Lu Xiaojun also told me that Zhang Jun from the dormitory next door also wanted to go with me, and he said that Zhang Jun promised that as long as I took him, he would be responsible for helping me with the travel and accommodation expenses. Zhang Jun's family conditions are better than Fan Rupeng and Lu Xiaojun, who have the best family conditions in our dormitory, it is said that the family is a family business, as if it is about to go public, and they also know that my family conditions are average, so I will naturally not refuse to put forward such intimate conditions, not to mention that Zhang Jun usually gets along well with us.
We bought train tickets at 7 o'clock in the morning on May 1, and everyone got up before 6 o'clock in the morning, packed up their breakfast and went straight to the train station without eating. There are a lot of people at the train station on holidays, and there are no seats in the waiting hall for a long time, so a few of us can only stand and nibble on buns.
Because the ticket was bought late, we only bought a standing ticket, and we were going to go to the dining car to occupy a table to play cards, but we squeezed into the car only to find that the dining car had long been out of seats, and several people had to stand in the aisle to chat. It takes more than seven hours from Guilin to Nanning, and we have to stand continuously for such a long time, which we did not expect. I can't help but think of Jia Tian'er who came to Guilin twice to find me, and every time I was able to buy a seat, especially when I was sick, she decided to come temporarily, and she definitely didn't book a ticket in advance, and it was New Year's Day, so I guess I bought a standing ticket. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel distressed and guilty.
We stood for more than two hours, and we couldn't bear it anymore, so we squeezed to the junction between the two carriages, where there were a little fewer people, and we didn't care whether the floor was clean or dirty, and we sat on the ground one by one. Lu Xiaojun took out two decks of playing cards and said, "Let's play cards." Zhang said: "How to play like this, there is no place to put the cards out." Lu Xiaojun said: "Make do with it, put it on your body." Zhang Jun said: "What are the five people fighting?" Lu Xiaojun said: "Looking for friends, one bright and one dark, two landlords." Peng Bo said, "This is good, come on." ”
So we started playing cards under extremely difficult conditions, and as soon as the cards were played, time passed quickly.
After the guest station, there were empty seats on the bus, so we ran to the dining car to find an empty table and continue to play cards. I wasn't really interested in playing cards, so I found another place to lie down and sleep, and the four of them continued to play eighty points.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally arrived, and a few of us hurriedly packed up our things and got off the bus. When we arrived at the exit of the station, we were looking around, only to hear a sweet female voice calling my name, following the voice to see that it was Jia Tian'er, who happily waved at us. We scrambled out of the crowd and headed for her.
Jia Tian'er trotted over, and then suddenly threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly. A few of them next to them looked at it and coaxed. Jia Tian'er shouted: "Hey, what are you doing, haven't you seen it?" Peng Bo said: "In the public, you don't pay attention to the influence. Zhang said, "Yes, and can you consider the feelings of us singles." ”
Jia Tianer said: "By the way, let me introduce you." As he spoke, he pulled over a girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses next to him and said, "This is my roommate Tao Xiaomei, I heard that there are five handsome guys coming at once, clamoring to come with me to pick you up." Tao Xiaomei said embarrassedly: "What are you talking nonsense, how can I have it." Jia Tianer grabbed my arm and said to Tao Xiaomei: "This is my boyfriend Xu Xuan, I won't introduce the other people one by one, you can't remember what you said, and slowly you will get to know each other." ”
Zhang Jun said: "You are too partial, so you will introduce Xu Xuan alone and skip us all directly." Everyone else chimed in. Jia Tian'er said: "You guys are doing better this time, I'll ask Xiaomei who you think is good, and I'll focus on introducing who to her." Several people scrambled to say, "Me, it must be me." Tao Xiaomei said: "Tian'er, you have this mouth, it's uncomfortable if you don't make fun of people." ”
Jia Tianer said: "I would like to introduce to you the itinerary this time, visit our school this afternoon, taste the food of our school in the evening, go to Nanhu Park and Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area during the day tomorrow, visit Parkson Pedestrian Street to eat snacks in the evening, go to the Botanical Garden the morning after tomorrow, and then send you to the East Railway Station to take the train back." Everyone praised her for being so thoughtful.
I looked at the map and knew that the train station was very close to the school, and I thought that it would only be three o'clock, and what was there to visit the school, it would take so long in the afternoon. When I arrived at the school, I realized that Guangxi University and Guangxi Normal School where we are located are completely two different concepts, this school is simply a park, not only the area is much larger than our school, but also the green trees, the river pond is dense, and the scenery is beautiful.
Jia Tianer and Tao Xiaomei took us around the campus to visit, and kept introducing us to Guangxi University, which is the first university in Guangxi, and several schools in Guilin are really different, which makes us feel that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.
