Chapter 85
But when it comes to Friday, it's not just about the competition, because the rehearsals for the orientation party will also begin, and they will rehearse every day from Friday until the day of the official performance.
So the badminton game can also be regarded as a very good spice for them.
However, what Song Qiguang didn't expect too much was that Yelan still sent him a message that night: "I said, why don't we practice and play well in the next two days, even if we lose, we can't lose too ugly, not to mention that it is not completely impossible to advance." ”
Song Qiguang couldn't help laughing, this senior sister is really very "progressive", after thinking about it, she replied, "Could it be that you still have the ambition to get a ranking?" ”
"Of course I knew I wasn't going to get a place, I just didn't want to lose too easily."
Song Qiguang has nothing else to say, she is willing to take the initiative to play with her, of course she can't ask for it.
However, there were a lot of classes on Wednesday the next day, which made Song Qiguang a little helpless, and he couldn't go out to practice at night, but the senior sister replied that they could use the time after lunch and dinner.
Can this senior sister really be "dedicated" to this extent!
So after lunch, Song Qiguang really went back to the dormitory to get a racket, even Lin Jiang was puzzled, of course, there are very few people who are still playing on the court at this time, so that others seem to have loved this sport to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
After the two met, Song Qiguang didn't say much, just casually made preparations and started fighting.
He is naturally very self-aware that their strength is at most a public level, even if they practice for two days, they can't raise this strength to that level slightly, what makes him happier is that the senior sister's interest in badminton has not decreased at all, and the more the two of them play, the more tacit understanding they have, so that the ball flies in the air for longer and longer.
During the break, Cheng Yelan came to him and said, "If we continue to practice like this, maybe we can really win a few opponents!" ”
Song Qiguang...... I really don't know if this senior sister knows that the scoring of badminton does not depend on who can make the ball pass longer......
Thursday's practice time is still a lot more than Wednesday's, after all, the two of them have no classes for the whole session, and the time for the two to practice together, or entertainment, has greatly increased, and Song Qiguang even hopes that this game can be postponed a little, so that they can practice for a while like this.
During this break, Yelan told him that he was actually very grateful for this competition, because he could devote more time to badminton without having to suffer any condemnation of conscience.
Oh, yes. Song Qiguang also agreed.
Their mentality now is not at all like they are going to participate in some great competition, there is no nervousness, and they are not much different from a casual game on a regular day, and even far less serious than when facing the orientation party.
At the end of the day's practice, Cheng Yelan said with "a lot of emotion", "Oh, anyway, I'm done practicing, no matter what kind of ranking I get in the competition, it's acceptable." ”
The two have now signed up, and they were quickly assigned to the game, this badminton match was held in the gymnasium of the school, where there are many practice venues for badminton, of course, there are also many venues for the game, it is said that the day is all the games in the field held at the same time, and a game is decided, equivalent to the knockout form, the previous group will be held immediately after the end of the next group, the day's game is to screen out half of the team.
The two of them signed up for the mixed doubles, and neither of them reported for the singles competition, Song Qiguang naturally wanted to be with the girl, and if she didn't participate, he would feel that this competition was very worthless, but he didn't know if the girl had the same idea as him.
They didn't rehearse that night, and after dinner together, they went their separate ways, and the girl patted him on the shoulder and wished him good luck tomorrow.
Their game will be held tomorrow afternoon, in fact, it has already been announced in the morning, and it is not until Song Qiguang comes to the competition venue that I don't know how many people have been eliminated, Yelan is with him, and the girl has changed into a set of sportswear at this time, which looks refreshing and beautiful.
There is no singles or doubles court in this knockout match, and the current competition contains both forms, and Song Qiguang as a contestant does not have a special waiting venue, just blending in with the audience.
Now there are a lot of spectators in the stadium around various venues, not only the club will try to publicize, but many contestants will also bring their classmates and friends to be strong and powerful, and even have a special cheerleading team to cheer for them, and Song Qiguang also invited Lin Jiang and Ning Qi He Jia to come over, and now I haven't seen them for the time being.
In the eyes of the boys, this event in the form of a competition is actually more like a party for badminton, anyway, it is estimated that there is not even one percent of the participants who can be called "professional", and the vast majority of them are just to participate in the exercise, and there is no need to have any psychological burden, and they are completely free to play.
After a while, Song Qiguang also received a call from Lin Jiang, saying that he was now with the two girls and asked where they were.
At this time, there are still a few games before the two of them play, and the organizer, that is, the president of the badminton association, is relatively "humane", and the rule he formulated is that the team wins each game with ten points, which is also considered to give a little time to adjust, and the team that still can't seize the opportunity can only be said to be really out of the badminton relationship.
In fact, Song Qiguang was still a little worried about whether Yelan would react after seeing the two girls, in fact, after the three of them came over, Ning Qi and He Jia greeted them very normally, and Yelan also nodded and smiled, without saying much.
Of course, even this doesn't mean that the girl really doesn't feel it at all, Song Qiguang is really afraid that this senior sister will be "in a bad mood" after this game, and then she will become a poor punching basket.
"How is it, Qingyuan, do you think you have any hope of being promoted?" Lin Jiang patted Song Qiguang's shoulder.
The boy glanced at the senior sister next to him, "Yes, you can't say no, right?" ”
He has heard a saying that if you want to win, you don't necessarily have to rely on your own "strength", and you deliberately hope that the other party is too "weak......
yes, what if their opponent is worse than them?
Cheng Yelan smiled, "It should be said that we have to try our best to fight for the chance of promotion." ”
"Yes, yes." A boy hurriedly agreed.
The other three forcibly resisted the urge to turn around.
Every game on the field is not too long, and the game ends in a few minutes when they meet a great one, and they chatted casually for a while before receiving a notice to come on the field, and said goodbye to the three people.
Song Qiguang clenched the racket in his hand, he didn't feel too nervous, after all, this is not an official arena, even if he loses, he has no responsibility, and he doesn't have to worry about criticism or ridicule from the audience, but despite this, he still hopes to win the game as much as possible, it should be a normal human psychology?
The two came to their venue, and the opponent also walked up, and they were a combination of a man and a woman, and Song Qiguang didn't know him.
Naturally, there was a "referee" on the field, and at this time, an instruction was given to the four people, and the game was announced.
Song Qiguang didn't suddenly notice until this time that even if he had decided to sign up for doubles a long time ago, he and Yelan had not done relevant exercises, and they had been training "sparring" for the past two days.
As for whether their opponents have done relevant exercises, it is even more impossible to know, but even a little bit is equivalent to a certain advantage over them, and even more so if they have done practice deliberately......
Song Qiguang found that he was completely relaxed until now, so he regarded this match as their first doubles practice, and just play casually!
So in the first round, the opponent served, and the boy went straight to the middle of the two!
Song Qiguang subconsciously looked at the girl next to him, and found that the opponent's preparation in the game was really better than theirs, first of all, from the standing, he and Yelan were standing side by side in the middle of the field, but the opponent was one in front and one behind, and the division of labor was clear, there should not be a difficulty that he is facing now, that is, who should receive the ball......
Let's pick it up, it's silly; Don't take it, it's even more stupid, if you let the ball fall to the ground and lose a point, it's a shameful performance, there are so many "spectators" outside the field, Song Qiguang can imagine that if this happens, he will definitely hear countless ridicule.
So now, it's time to test their tacit understanding!
Song Qiguang took a small step in that direction, and saw Yelan quickly step forward and hit the ball back!
Pretty!
As a "master", he is really proud, this senior sister couldn't even send a ball well, or taught himself little by little, and then the more he practiced, the better he became, and now he can hit the opponent's ball back on the "field", which really makes him cry!
But at this time, Song Qiguang also gained a little experience, and hurriedly stepped back, guarding the backcourt like that boy.
At this time, the ball has been hit back by the girl on the opposite side, but it is hitting the right edge, a very insidious way to play, Song Qiguang will shout out of bounds in his heart every time he arrives!
Of course, the ball still has to try to catch it, in case it doesn't go out of bounds, he believes that professional players have the eye to judge whether it is out of bounds, but he really doesn't, so he quickly stepped forward to pick up the ball and hit the opponent, snap!
Ball...... fell on the net.
One point! Just like that, I gave it to my opponent.
Alas......
Well, there was nothing to be discouraged about, he cheered himself up, and then he heard what seemed to be a shout from outside the field: "Come on!" Come on! ”
I couldn't hear who shouted, let alone whether it was called to them, such a voice would usually be blocked out on the playing field, but for now he still felt a little motivation.
Anyway, I'm here to practice, so keep practicing!
Song Qiguang didn't know how long this game would last, but he estimated that it wouldn't be long, and the final result of the game was ten to five, and he and Yelan shouldn't have lost too badly.
Song Qiguang is quite satisfied with the five points he has achieved in this process, two of which are also from Yelan's hands, which makes him even more proud, his mood has been relatively peaceful throughout the game, no matter whether he scores or loses points, there are no excessive ups and downs, it can be seen that Yelan is the same, she has always been smiling, trying her best to do her own thing.
After the game, they still heard some applause on the field, and the three people did not leave, Lin Jiang was even more regretful, "It's a pity, if you work harder, you should be able to win!" ”
Lin Jiang's words are not simply comforting, although he doesn't have much research on badminton, he has always watched a lot of games, and Song Qiguang's opponents are not much higher than him, they are very ordinary "spectator" level, not to mention that winning the game depends on luck, but also because they really have little experience.
Ning Qi and He Jia also had the same idea, they were both very indignant, Yelan was relatively calm, this game was just for her as long as she participated, and the ranking was not important at all.
At the moment, he briskly said to these juniors, "It's hard for everyone to come to see our game, it's not a good game, in order to apologize, I'll invite everyone to dinner tonight." ”
Before Song Qiguang could speak, he heard Lin Jiang say, "No need, we don't dare to trouble Sister Yelan, just let this kid invite us to a meal." ”
"Okay, I'll go first, Qingyuan, don't forget the rehearsal tonight."
"Yes."
Yelan said goodbye to them and left, and the four of them also walked towards the door together, Song Qiguang thought of the upcoming rehearsal, which was really much more important than the current game.
Now that the rehearsal stage has been carried out, of course, all the rehearsals for the party have been announced, and the next step is to perform in advance to see the effect.
So that night, according to Yelan's relay, Minister Xie of the Organization Department, this lottery excluded the need for makeup and formal clothing, and everything else had to be carried out according to the official performance.
The venue of the rehearsal is the first auditorium of the school, and it is also the place where the School of Computer Science held a welcome party, which officially started at seven o'clock in the evening, Song Qiguang came to the backstage half an hour in advance, but Yelan did not stay with him, because she still had to preside, and now there are three other hosts standing beside her.
Therefore, Yelan's rehearsals have always been alternating between the host and the performance program, and this is also the first time Song Qiguang has met the other three hosts, all of whom are freshmen like him.
He said hello to the three people, and then it was a little boring, although he knew a lot of people in the background, but of course the girl who wanted to accompany him the most.
When it came time for the formal rehearsal, according to Minister Xie's regulations, except for the actors of the next five shows, everyone else had to go to the audience to act as an audience, and when it came to games and other links that required the audience to interact, they also needed to go up to rehearse to see if there would be any accidents.
