Chapter 36: The Battle

In the second game, we played against the software engineering class of the computer department, there were very few girls in this class, although the strength of the three boys on the field was okay, but the strength of the girls was indeed much worse than ours. A few rounds after the first game, I was keenly aware that they had a girl who barely played, so when it was my turn to serve, I aimed for that girl's position. Because of the accuracy of my serve, each ball landed within the range of the girl, and she didn't catch six or seven balls in a row, one of which hit her head and another ball on her shoulder, which made her almost cry.

The other party had no choice but to call a timeout. When I came to the sidelines, Zhang Chu said to me: "Xu Xuan, you are too bad, you are about to beat that girl to tears." The rest of our class laughed maliciously. I said, "There's no way, if you find out that the other party has a weakness, you have to fight." Fan Chunhua said: "Xu Xuan, your serve is too accurate, and you will send them to her one by one." I said, "That's right, you know my level." Yang Jianjian, the squad leader who was watching the game from the sidelines, said: "It's already eleven to three, come on, everyone, this game must be won." ”

After the pause, the opponent seemed to adjust his tactics, and the two boys next to the girl stood close to her, presumably intending to help her catch the ball. I didn't come up with a way to adjust it for a while, so I still sent it to the girl, and sure enough, the boy next to her went to help her pick it up, but the girl seemed to be a little confused, and the ball didn't know how to get out of the way, and every time I waited until the ball came to the front of me, I was scared to hide, and the boy next to me wanted to reach out to help her catch the ball, but she was there, but it affected the person who helped her catch the ball. So in the next few balls, not only did they not catch them, but the girl frequently collided with the boy next to her, causing the audience next to her to cry and laugh.

We won the game very quickly. In the second game, the other party had to be replaced, and the girl who came up was more clever, and the ball dodged before it came, so that the boy next to her could make up for it in time to help her catch the ball, but this girl couldn't serve, and she couldn't send a ball, no wonder their team would let the girl play the main force before, at least she could send the ball over the net, and this team was really helpless.

On the one hand, we stepped up our return practice yesterday, and on the other hand, the opponent had a clear weakness, and we won the second game comfortably. In this way, we are ranked first in the group with two wins, and the third opponent is the tourism management class of the tourism department, which lost the first two games, and it seems that we have a very high probability of winning the group and qualifying.

The opponent in the third game was really easy to deal with, because there was a huge shortage of boys in their class, a total of three boys all played, and two of them couldn't play, so we easily won two games in a row.

We entered the top 16 so easily, and the head teacher, Mr. Zhou, was naturally surprised and delighted, praised our team in the class, and put forward a new goal of breaking into the top four.

The opponent of the 16th into 8th in the knockout round is the Chinese major class of the Department of Literature, which is the class where Lin Qian was originally in. There are very few boys in this class, but it is slightly better than the tourism department, I saw that Dai Lili was also on the field, and Li Xuan was a substitute off the field, and I couldn't help but think of Lin Qian. If Lin Qian is here, I will have to play against Lin Qian, with her strength, it is not a problem to play six at a time, it is estimated that our class will definitely not be an opponent, but no matter what, the audience under the two classes will be very lively, and it is estimated that there will be people who will keep coaxing. But would she let me do it on purpose? It shouldn't be, this is related to collective honor, she can ignore her personal face, but she won't ignore the collective honor.

While I was preparing for the event on the sidelines, I was constantly thinking about it, and I was even hit in the head by a flying ball, which hurt so much. Xue Yunyan shouted, "Xu Xuan, why are you in a daze." Zhang said: "Hey, I don't understand this, I saw the class opposite, and I remembered someone." "Yang Jianshe and Xue Yunyan also found out that my state was abnormal, and they hurriedly asked about the situation, and then made a decisive decision to let Zhang Chu replace me as the starter.

I have no objection to this decision, and I also know that I am wandering, and if I am not in good shape on the field after a while, it will not be good for the class. I sat on the sidelines, watching the ball come and go on the court, playing extremely fiercely, thinking that if Lin Qian was on the court, it would be so heroic and shining all over the court.

The two sides played very closely, and the strength of the other party was not as good as ours, after all, the other boys were still weaker, but the level of Zhang Chu, who replaced me, was not as good as mine in all aspects, so the scene was comparable. The scores of the two sides rose alternately, until they were nine to twelve, we were still three points behind, everyone was a little panicked, if we lost the first game, the morale was gone all of a sudden, and it was too difficult to win two games in a row.

So Xue Yunyan hurriedly called a timeout, everyone gathered on the sidelines, Yang Jianshe said: "If you lose the first game, the next game will be more difficult to play. Xue Yunyan said: "Let's let Xu Xuan go, the other party is actually not strong, that is, we have made too many mistakes, Xu Xuan's stability is very good, as long as we reduce our mistakes, we will definitely be able to pull it back." After hearing this, everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, Xu Xuan." Zhang Chu also said: "Xu Xuan, hurry up and replace me, if I lose this time, I will become a sinner." ”

I saw that everyone was looking at me, took a deep breath and said, "No problem, I'll go." Zhang Chu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xu Xuan, I understand what you're thinking, don't think nonsense, come on." I said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The game continued, the opponent Dai Lili served, the ball came and fell to Wen Fang's area, Wen Fang did not adjust the position, and flew the ball straight up. I shouted, "I'm coming!" Wen Fang hurriedly flashed to the side, I took two steps to the left, put my hands together and tried hard to hit the ball high over the net, the opponent did not catch it, the ball went out of bounds all of a sudden, and we got the right to serve. The audience in our class cheered for cheers. Fan Chunhua shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Xu Xuan, you are so handsome, come on!" ”

It was my turn to serve, and I just observed on the sidelines that a boy in their class was a boy who made up the numbers and had terrible skills, so I gave him the ball vigorously, and scored three points in a row at once, chasing the score to 12 draws. After the game resumed, I found that the opponent had neither made a substitution nor adjusted the position, and I wondered what they must have done to deal with it, so I changed the target and sent the ball to another relatively weak boy.

They didn't expect me to suddenly change my goal, I couldn't cope with it, and we scored another point. On the next ball, I aimed at the weakest of the three girls on the opposite side. Since I like to serve with my underhand and like to hit a little forward arc, the ball is faster after passing the net, and it goes straight to the person. In the past, when I was in high school physical education class, I played volleyball with Lin Qian, and she could easily receive each of my serves, but for girls who don't have any volleyball foundation, especially girls who don't have fast reactions and footsteps, it is very lethal.

Sure enough, after I sent the ball, the girl didn't have time to retreat, and the ball directly smashed on her upper arm and popped out of bounds. Fourteen to twelve. The last ball, I thought about it, and sent it to the weakest boy and the girl next to him, but both of them rushed to catch it, interfering with each other, and the ball hitter went out of bounds. We won the first game.

During the intermission, Dai Lili and Wu Jing ran over to me and said, "Xu Xuan, you can do it, Lin Qian will bully our class if she is not there." I said, "How can I have, at my level, I can't be bullied by others." Wu Jing said: "Xu Xuan, imagine that if Lin Qian is still there, she is standing on the opposite side of the net, can you bear to watch her sad because of the loss?" Dai Lili said: "That's right, can you bear to watch Lin Qian's class lose like this?" Can you bear to see us, Lin Qian's good sisters, cry sadly because of failure? ”

I know that they are disturbing my mind when they take a bite of Lin Qian. Zhang said next to him: "Hey, you guys are too unkind, originally our Xu Xuan was sad for a long time because of Lin Qian's matter, but now it's almost okay, you are now revisiting the old things over and over again, have you considered Xu Xuan's feelings?" Dai Lili glared at Zhang Chu and said, "Shut up, are we still in the friendship dormitory?" Don't come to us if you have something to do in the future. Zhang Chu was so busy that she said this, and he was silent.

I smiled at the two of them, "I know you two are coming to me for this purpose, but I'm very psychologically good, and this trick won't work for me, so let's talk about something else." Dai Lili said: "Cut, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and unrighteous." ”

At this time, several girls from our team came over and sat next to me to discuss the tactics of the second game.

Fan Chunhua said: "Why did the girls in their class come to you? Zhang said on the side: "They saw Xu Xuan's power, and came over to use psychological warfare against Xu Xuan." Bao Hongyan said: "This is too unsophisticated." Everyone else chimed in. Xue Yunyan said, "Xu Xuan, are you okay?" I said, "I'm fine, I don't eat them, class honor comes first." ”

Fan Chunhua suddenly showed a gossipy smile and said, "What kind of psychological attack did they take against you?" I said, "Let's discuss the tactics for the next game, and don't gossip." Fan Chunhua looked disappointed and said, "Hmph, it's boring." ”

The second game began, and our class made fewer mistakes and led the score. I thought to myself that Dai Lili actually used Lin Qian to coerce me, and I had to embarrass her. So every time I serve, I aim at Dai Lili's hair, Dai Lili's level is okay, basically most of them can be picked up, and then we play again, many balls are back and forth for several rounds, attracting warm applause from the audience on the sidelines. Obviously, our game was much more exciting than the previous ones.

There was a ball, the opponent hit it just over the net, and I was standing in the front row, and I finally got a chance to smash the ball, and I jumped up without thinking about it. My smashing level is really not good, my strength is not good, and my accuracy is not good, but that momentum is still okay. The ball rubbed on the net and went straight to Li Xuan, where did Li Xuan see someone dunk the ball, so she was so frightened that she quickly raised her hand to block it, but after the ball rubbed the net, there was a change of direction, Li Xuan didn't block it, it just hit her head, and she screamed and fell to the ground.

Dai Lili and a few people in their class hurriedly ran over and asked, "How are you, are you okay?" Li Xuan got up and rubbed her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just startled." Then I saw Dai Lili and Li Xuan looking at me with resentful eyes, and I hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to them, and they rolled my eyes back.

With the referee's whistle, our class won the second game 15-9 and entered the quarterfinals. I was just about to celebrate the victory with everyone, when I saw Dai Lili and Wu Jing walking towards me, I was so frightened that I quickly ran away, only to hear Dai Lili shouting from behind: "Xu Xuan, you stop for me." Wu Jing was also shouting: "You can run, the monk can't run the temple." ”
