"Tao You, Tao You." Coach Sun didn't know when he arrived at Tao You's side, and snorted in front of her, "Stop gossiping, listen carefully to Coach Tan."

Tao You nodded, "Oh."

- I don't participate in the team competition, so what does it have to do with me?

Although Tao You thought so in his heart, he still turned his head to listen to Coach Tan's speech.

"Actually, Coach Sun, you were gossiping just now." Tao You glanced at Coach Sun with a 'see-through look, and asked suddenly, "That female coach is so young, is she new?" It looks amazing."

Coach Sun, who was holding a thermos cup to drink water, choked a few times, and his eyes towards Tao You were full of embarrassment at the same time, and at the same time, he also carried a hint of weakness, "Cough, Coach can be your aunt at your age."

"Huh?! I can't see it! Coach Sun, how do you know? Do you know her?" Tao You looked back at the female coach in shock, and was called back by Coach Sun.

"Turn around, don't look at it. You, don't ask around, the affairs of other schools have nothing to do with you. Listen to you."

——————————————————————————————

"Just now, our coach went to draw lots, Group A is against Yihui Middle School, Group B is 20 Middle School, Group C is with Fengxin Middle School, and the temporary arrangement in the morning is to finish the men's team preliminaries." Coach Tan tilted the white paper in his hand at an angle, aimed at the white light above his head, stretched out his hand a little straighter, and after seeing it clearly, he said slowly, "Don't be nervous, I have done some analysis with you before in these schools, the strength of the players in the first two is basically ranked in the lower middle, Fengxin Middle School still has some strength, but don't let your guard down, every ball is played steadily for me, don't worry, don't be affected by the other party, adjust your mentality." Coach Tan is very confident in his players.

- Yihui Middle School.

When Tao You heard the name, he looked back at the young female coach who was sitting on the bench, stilting Erlang's legs, and bowing her head to write on a white piece of paper.

"You are lucky not to meet those strong players on the first day of the competition, but don't be too happy, and when you don't compete, you will see how others compare, maybe you will meet later."

"Beep——!

As the whistle blew, the referees of the three venues were in place, standing next to the referee's chair to sort out the papers, and the music in the stadium was paused.

"Okay, it's almost warmed up, everyone who participated in the men's team competition has come forward," Coach Tan folded the white paper into a small tofu cube, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, stood up with his feet straddled, looked at the nine people standing up in front of him seriously, and instructed each other, "Group A, I won't say much about the three of you, I'm relieved that you are a hundred, there are only so many people who play tennis in Yihui Middle School, and the strength of the new team is also a big difference from you, just play seriously." Gu Yi, don't be skinny when you play!" He looked at Song Yimian, Gu Yi, and the captain in front of him, who were half a head taller than him, with satisfaction.

"Group B, Wang Ming, remember when you receive the ball, don't be in a hurry, take your time, judge the direction of the ball, do all the movements, and you can catch the ball if you are slow. The two of you, the same, just don't make low-level mistakes, a few people in the twenty are still very good, and their level in Group B should be on the same level as the three of you, and the gap will not be very big. It's a good opportunity to learn, and that doubles, with a good match, I've been practicing for so long."

"Group C, Zhang Yang, your reaction should be a little faster, the speed of receiving the ball should be a little faster, when you pull the backhand, that racket, remember not to warp it. After receiving the ball, extend your hand forward as much as possible, don't retract the racket as soon as you touch the ball, go through the essentials of the action in your mind before the opening, and do more swinging movements when waiting on the sidelines; Zhiyi, Gao Han, the two of you should pay attention to judging the distance between the racket and the ball, and don't hit the empty ball; It's the same when you play doubles, don't grab it, and remember to remind the other party when you want to catch the ball. I don't have high requirements for the three of you, do my best, I don't ask you to win, the main thing is to let you learn and reflect, observe other people's movements and skills more, reflect more on what you didn't do enough when you compete, and practice more in a targeted manner after you go back. Practice makes sense, you only have to play,

Only then can you clearly find out what shortcomings you still have. Don't worry too much."

"Beep——!

The second whistle blew, and the players participating in the team competition began to walk to their playing venues one after another.

Coach Tan finished the final instructions in groups, and then smiled and comforted a few players with sad faces, "Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's just the preliminaries." Enjoy the game. The result is not important, the process is the most important. From time to time, peers learn from each other, just like you usually take exams, so that you can better discover your weaknesses, play ball, play well, and have fun playing the most important thing."

"You know what I mean."

"Beep——!

The third whistle is over, which means that the game is about to officially begin. As the players make their final preparations, the referee puts away the folders, picks up the brand new tennis balls from the field workers, and begins to check them one by one.

"Okay, okay, let's go to our own playing field, and the people in Group C will follow Coach Sun to the first field." Coach Tan waved his hand, still uncomfortably raised a few mouths, "Go to the sidelines and do a warm-up!" Don't get hurt! Observe others more! Don't be nervous, just play normally! Come on!"

"The three of you." Coach Tan turned around and whispered to Song Yimian and the three of them, "It's just a preliminaries, don't give me all my strength, under the degree of control, properly retain your strength, and others also know that you are strong, and they are always staring at you, ready to catch your weaknesses."

"Got it, got it." Gu Yi moved his ankles and wrists and said confidently.

"Hmm." Song Yimian pursed his lips and replied lightly, bowing his head and putting on his wrist guards.

Coach Tan looked at the captain again, only to see him lowering his eyes, his fingers squeaking the racket net, after feeling the hot gaze cast by Coach Tan, the movements in his hands paused for a second, nodded slightly, and didn't even bother to make a sound.

「······」

Boy.

Coach Tan looked at the more perfunctory players in front of him, and couldn't help but want to scold, but then he comforted himself in his heart: Don't be angry, these are all his precious apprentices and a few of the team's ultimate weapons; They have this strength, occasionally proud of nothing, the person they choose, and the last person who is distressed is themselves.

He let out a long sigh, still to advise, "One last point," he lowered his voice, so low that only the four of them could hear it, and looked at the other team members standing on the side uneasily, stretched out his hand to grab Song Yimian and the three of them, forming a semicircle in front of him, and asked them to lower their heads, "Don't fight too hard, the score is better, it's just the preliminaries, don't affect the relationship between the schools." But don't let the traces of water release be too obvious, it hurts people's self-esteem, you know what I mean."

Gu Yi patted his chest and said very confidently, "Old Tan, we have a sense of proportion, you can put your whole heart in your stomach and watch the game with peace of mind." No one can say for sure what is going on the field, and no matter how much you want now, it's useless to worry."

"You're still smiling, the one I don't worry about the most is you!" As soon as Coach Tan thought of Gu Yi's out-of-the-box character, the nerve above his eyes twitched, and he raised his foot and kicked Gu Yi's buttocks.

Coach Tan's voice raised suddenly, and the players next to him couldn't help but wonder what Coach Tan said to the three of them.

Undoubtedly, Gu Yi's understanding is not bad, and his tennis foundation is also very solid, if he can endure and play seriously, he may not be worse than Song Yimian and the captain.

But his personality is too uncertain to grasp, and he will surprise you at every turn. Among these players, Coach Tan was most worried that Gu Yi would suddenly have some unreliable idea when he was playing, then he might really be so angry that he fainted on the spot. Then he is likely to be the first 'wounded' to be pulled away by an ambulance waiting outside the field.

"You give me an honest beating, don't think about all those bells and whistles! Especially those you have only seen, but have not practiced at all, or have only practiced once or twice and are not very sure! If you don't have that ability, don't do that porcelain job! Also, take those anime you've watched, the ones in the movies that aren't realistic

Forget all the tricks!"

"I don't care about you when you usually try those skills when you train, but now it's a competition, you'd better figure it out to me, don't end up making a fool of yourself! This isn't a show, it's not time for you to be handsome!" Coach Tan pressed Gu Yi's head and whispered in his ear, hoping that he would really listen, "If I find out that you are playing these tricks in this arena, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

"Uh-huh, well, well, remember, remember, you must fight well." Gu Yi looked serious, nodded without hesitation and agreed, whatever Coach Tan said was what it was.

Coach Tan put down his hand, only hoping that Gu Yi's current seriousness was not for him to pretend to be perfunctory.

——————————————————————————————

"Wow!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Fengxin! Come on!"

"Cold! Come on!"

"One in China, we will win!"

「······」

The first group of Group C matches has begun, and the enthusiasm of the audience is overwhelming.

No. 1 High School was the first to play.

Coach Tan looked at the field uneasily. He patted Gu Yi on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit next to him, and then made arrangements for the rest of the players, "If you don't have a game now, go and sit in the audience seat reserved for you, and bring this sign with you." He handed the sign to one of the players, "Everyone, you must all sit in the same place, I don't know if the order of this game will be adjusted, don't find anyone at that time."

"Tang Hui, you help me keep track of the number of people, and take care of them and don't run around." After saying this, Coach Tan was ready to go to Field One.

Tang Hui nodded in response, "Good coach." took the notebook and pen handed by the captain, took the sign of No. 1 Middle School, and led the team members to the designated position.

Tao You stood at the outermost layer of the crowd, looking down at the hand hanging in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. If you look closely, you can still see a little red coming out of her clenched palm.

She thought about it, but walked up to Song Yimian and said as calmly as possible, "You, play for a while, come on."

Song Yimian looked up at her, a hint of surprise flashed in his expression, and then replied seriously, "Well, it will."

Tao You turned around to leave, paused or came back, stretched out the hand hidden behind him in one go, and a small, crumpled peace blessing and a familiar mint appeared in front of Song Yimian's eyes.

"What is this?" For him? Song Yimian didn't immediately reach out and take it.
