In the blink of an eye, it has reached the end of June, and the rainy season that has lasted for an unknown amount of time has finally passed, and the wind blowing is no longer hot and humid, but sticky on the face, making people breathless. The oncoming wind was dry, though still hot.

The flowers of the acacia tree by the court are full of branches, and the fragrance is greasy; Clusters of fragrant gardenias are bubbling up. It's been almost a month of training, and the day after tomorrow, Tao You will usher in a friendly match, which will be with the Thirteenth Middle School, which will also be the first tennis match in Tao You's life.

Tao You couldn't help but feel a little worried. It's not unreasonable to worry, she is very clear about her three-legged cat level, and when she usually rests, many team members are also discussing the thirteenth middle school that has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years. It is said that the new players in the thirteenth middle school are all big guys, and they all play very fiercely, and many players have already lost half of them in the aura alone.

"Coach, why is it so sudden?!" One of the team members asked in a procrastinated voice.

"It was the same last time, so if you say it earlier, we can prepare early." Another player chimed in, a little dissatisfied with Coach Tan's habit of notifying only when the time comes.

Coach Tan shook the whistle in one hand, held a dog's tail grass in his mouth, took out the racket clamped under his armpit, patted the two of them on the back with a light hand, crooked his mouth, and said vaguely in the authentic Weicheng dialect: "Little rabbit cub, where is so much nonsense!" Is this month's training camp all a joke! ”

"It's just a friendly game, friendship first, competition second, what are you afraid of! It's all a little bit of a good idea! ”

Another player glared and interjected: "That's the thirteenth middle school, you also watched the coach when I played the game before, they fought too hard, Xu Xiao was almost injured last time." ”

Xu Xiao, who was nominated, covered his right arm that trembled involuntarily with palpitations, and nodded wildly in agreement.

- So fierce!

Tao You unconsciously stared at Xu Xiao's arm, thinking that Gu Yi excitedly told them that a player was beaten by the Thirteenth Middle School and was overdrawn, and his right arm trembled uncontrollably for several hours before slowly getting better, and he couldn't lift heavy objects for several days in a row, and his muscles were also a little strained, so he had no choice but to retire from the game.

- It turned out to be true. When Tao You and Hong Xiqi heard it at the time, they thought that Gu Yi was deliberately exaggerating, and they laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.

Among all the high schools in Weicheng, there is no doubt about the tennis level of No. 1 Middle School, no matter which high school they are playing against, everyone is confident and calm, Tao You has never seen these players so flustered and worried.

After the last game, everyone was more or less left a psychological shadow by the thirteenth.

"It was because of the last game that I asked the coach of the 13th middle school to have a friendly match before this year's autumn league. \./Hand\./Machine\./Edition\./First\./Hair\./More\./New~~ Only by understanding the opponent's strength, playing habits, and weaknesses can you better deal with them in the official game later. Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, I don't need to repeat this truth. When it comes to business, Coach Tan said seriously and earnestly, "I met once last year, and I won't meet it this year?" Not going to run into it next year? Won't you ever run into it again? ”

"Last year, why did we just win narrowly? Why are you fighting so hard? Because we didn't pay serious attention to the team of the 13th Middle School from the beginning, we took it for granted that the opponent's strength was still at the bottom as in previous years, so we messed up after the first game with the 13th Middle School, and they took the initiative, lost their own rhythm, and planted their heels; And the thirteenth middle school has obviously studied your playing style, and has been staring at your shortcomings. ”

All the team members quieted down and had nothing to refute, because they really underestimated the enemy at that time, thinking that they could win the game by playing casually, there was no need to spend so much time studying, until they got on the field, only to find that the playing style of the thirteenth middle school had changed drastically from the past, and at that time there was no time to make adjustments, so they could only bite the bullet.

"Most of you are biased towards defensive players, and most of our previous training focus has been on defensive training, and the results are obvious to all, but knowing multi-faceted defense does not mean that you will win all battles, not to mention that you are not able to defend in many aspects, and you must learn to take the initiative when necessary, and not be led by the opponent."

"Look at what kind of players are in the thirteenth middle school, basically all of them are offensive big guys," Coach Tan kept suppressing his anger. (More exciting on the next page!) )

The voice of Yuan lingered for a long time, wanting to reason with them, but after seeing the unconvinced expressions of the group of little children in front of him, he couldn't hold back his temper anymore, spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and pointed into the distance with one hand, as if the players in the thirteenth middle school were there, hating iron and not steel, "You don't know anything about other people's offensive paths, how much chance do you think you have to win against others!" I think you're really floating! After only winning a few games, you thought you were the best in the world?! Who gave you confidence?! Didn't you fight hard enough last time? Isn't the lesson enough?! Do you want to be brushed off in the preliminaries this time?! Coach Tan was angry, and he was louder than the other.

The players all drooped their heads and were silent, and the scattered sound of cicadas filled the entire stadium, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun seemed to have never moved its position, hanging brightly overhead, and the air became more and more hot and unbearable.

Looking at the group of half-grown high school students in front of him, Coach Tan knew that their morale was too high, this was their fatal problem, he could see that many people in this training camp were absent-minded and didn't take it seriously at all. No \./Wrong \./More\./New '.w'.a'.p'.'.'.c'.o'.m

Tao You was also frightened by this solemn atmosphere and didn't dare to breathe, hung her head and didn't dare to glance, the back of her neck was hot, sweat swept across her cheeks, gathered along her chin, and dripped silently, she stared at the few small pieces of sweat-soaked ground in front of her feet, and secretly prayed to herself that the game the day after tomorrow would not be too ugly.

There were people passing by outside the field, seeing that no one picked up the balls all over the field, and no one played, they all quietly gathered in a corner, and the coach who was surrounded in the middle opened and closed his mouth to say something, his brows were furrowed and his face was serious, and he looked over curiously, wanting to hear some gossip.

"The summer vacation is about to officially begin, do you know how many schools are waiting to practice with the 13th Middle School? This is the time I managed to grab, so cherish it. Coach Tan waved his hand, "Okay, don't get together, continue to train, and watch more game videos at home." Don't eat indiscriminately! ”

Tao You absentmindedly completed the rest of the training, and as soon as he got home and sat down, a cat and a dog surrounded him. Only then did she remember to call Hong Xiqi.

Since Hong Xiqi went out, she has basically been out of touch, and she will not reply to the messages sent out for several days, except for the occasional updated circle of friends, and the little news she got from Gu Yi's mouth can prove that she has not completely disappeared.

Strange to say, among the four, Tao You and Hong Xiqi have always been the closest and communicate the most frequently, but this time Gu Yi became the only one who kept in touch with Hong Xiqi.

"Hey! Little secluded! As soon as the phone was connected, before Tao You could speak, Hong Xiqi's high-pitched voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by a strong rhythmic electronic music background.

Tao You subconsciously took the phone farther away, and the moment he heard Hong Xiqi's voice, the eartip of the song let go of the toy in his mouth, rushed in from the balcony, put his front paws on the sofa, stuck out his tongue, and anxiously called the phone twice.

Tao You turned on the speakerphone, touched Ke Song's head, and said to the other end of the phone: "Do you hear me, Ke Song misses you, when will you come back?" Didn't you just go out for a few days? ”

"What do you say? Louder, I can't hear you! Hong Xiqi covered her other ear, trying to hear clearly.

Tao You raised his voice and repeated.

"Oh, I'll be back in two days!"

- This is the answer again.

"I'm relieved that you and Song Yimian can take care of the four of them, this is why I've been playing outside for so long, and I can finally go out with peace of mind, so you can help me take care of them for two more days, please, please, go back and bring you gifts."

Tao You was a little helpless, not that she didn't want to let Ke Song and the egg tart stay at her house, but a month was almost up, and Tao's mother was about to come back from a business trip, and Hong Xiqi's return date, Tao You didn't know Tao's mother's exact return date, every time she called, she inquired about the news openly and secretly, but what she got was the news that she could go home at any time.

hung up the phone, fed the croissant and the egg tart, called Song Yimian to take them out for a walk, and after cleaning up everything, Tao You returned to the room, took out his mobile phone to search for the video of the thirteenth middle school of the last autumn league, and watched it repeatedly.

Maybe it's because the day after tomorrow is a friendly match, and everyone is practicing harder than usual today, as if they have inexhaustible strength. (More exciting on the next page!) )

Gas. At the end of the evening training, Tao You was so tired that he couldn't care about it, sat on the ground, and gently hammered his sore legs with his hands into fists.

"It's over today after stretching, go back and relax, the time is set, nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, on time here***." Don't be late. Coach Tan glanced at his watch and commanded.

Song Yimian finished packing his schoolbag, lifted Tao You's collar up, and said, "Get up and go." ”

Tao You stood up with a little difficulty and shuffled out.

- I really want to go home in a second, turn on the air conditioner and lie down in bed to sleep.

But when she got home, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she began to worry uncontrollably about the game the day after tomorrow, and the sleepy insects were swept away.

'Go to the night market?' "

At this time, Song Yimian sent a message.

'Where?' Tao You is curious, her memory of the night market is only a food festival during the summer vacation of elementary school, and the memory left behind is not very good.

'Nanxiang Park, ride a bicycle for twenty minutes, bring a croissant, and see you downstairs after the bell. First\./Hair\./More\./New'.. Hand. Machine. Edition "..

Song Yimian seemed to be interested in Tao's tryst, so he couldn't help but make an appointment to meet.

Tao You rolled on the bed a few times, stretched his waist, and got up neatly.

- Instead of thinking and worrying here, it's better to go out and relax.
