My Soulmate is a Libero

For the Brazilian team, the Chinese team was their unexpected strong enemy.

During the interval between the fourth and fifth rounds, Dominique sat, breathing heavily, and blinked hard to let the noise in his ears subside.

In the game just now, he was the most targeted player. Qin Chunxiao and You Ziyu’s serve were all aimed at him, forcing him to catch the ball. And when he smashed there was Qin Chunxiao waiting.

In this case, he could still play four rounds. They had to say that Dominique’s physical strength from running a marathon had helped a lot.

Coach Elliott handed him the towel: “Don’t throw the towel again this time, Domi.”

Dominique wiped off the sweat from the corners of his eyes and in the middle of his face, and said with resentment and grievance in his tone, “Misha Qin got into a fight with me, and he caught a lot of balls from me!”

He was a beast! He held the current world record for the jump height! But Qin Chunxiao blocked him, and Dominique felt that he had lost all his dignity.

Elliot also recognized the incredible defensive skills of the libero on the opposing side. Dominique had good game awareness, and as long as he was in the zone, he could score points regardless of the ball. He had a scoring rate of 70 to 80.

But Misha Qin’s prediction was very exaggerated. Before Dominique’s ball was smashed, Misha Qin ran to the spot where the ball landed to catch the ball. As soon as the hand was raised, the ball was placed on top of the setter.

The most frightening thing was that the opponent’s defensive range was huge. At least three-quarters of the court was covered by Qin Chunxiao’s defensive range. Dominique was guarded too much. Sometimes he subconsciously avoided the opponent, but he didn’t even know where to fight, as if wherever he fought, he would be chased and defended.

Under this level of targeting, until now, Dominique had not been able to open the zone state, as if the door was firmly blocked by Qin Chunxiao. He not only blocked it himself, but also blocked it with furniture such as tables and cabinets.

The pronunciation of the name Qin Chunxiao was not easy for foreigners to remember, but on the day Elliott and Popov attacked Lao Niu after drinking together, Qin Chunxiao introduced himself to Russian youth team captain Anton and said, ” You can call me Misha”, the Brazilian team also remembered by the way, usually call Qin Chunxiao “Misha Qin”.

Dominique muttered: “Misha Qin’s defensive ability is no worse than that of a libero! He just scores more points than a libero!”

Not only did Qin Chunxiao’s defense make Dominique uncomfortable, but the angle of the serve also made him uncomfortable.

Libero Billy sat next to him and patted him on the shoulder: “I also caught a lot of balls from them, Dom, you have teammates to avenge you.”

Deputy attacker Rambo thought for a while, and said to the setter: “Agassi, the opponent is determined to block Domi. In the next game, I will attack with Domi and Jesse. You pass randomly to confuse the opponent’s sight.”

Agassi said with a bitter face: “I have been doing this all the time. The duty of the setter is to deceive the opponent to block, but they are not fooled by me!”

Of course they didn’t know that this year’s Chinese men’s volleyball national youth team had been fooled many times by Qin Chunxiao’s fritters during the training camp.

Compared with Brazil, the state of the Chinese team was not so good.

On the bench of the Chinese team, Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling sat side by side, with ice packs on the back of their necks, and their bodies were drenched in sweat. They were breathing heavily, their chests up and down.

Qiao Mingming was also tired. He had already been the main scoring point in four rounds, but the libero on the opposite side was amazingly strong. In order to get the score back, he really worked hard, but he was the captain! The player’s fingers were all dislocated by the opponent, and he would be sorry for his No. 1 jersey if he didn’t fight!

At this time, Qiao Mingming was very thankful that his physical strength was not bad. He couldn’t run a marathon, but he was still able to run a half-marathon. He could still last.

In addition, the two main blockers, Aizmaiti and Fu Biyang, were also tired.

Aizmaiti was using medical tape to bind the middle finger and ring finger of his right hand together, and said to Fu Biyang: “We will face Dominique later, and our take-off will be delayed a little bit, and we will jump up to stop him when he is not so high. Otherwise you can’t stop him, this kid’s ball point is too high.”

Fu Biyang responded, flexing his wrists: “I think after playing against Brazil, it will be easier to deal with Qiao Mingming and You Ziyu in the future. No wonder the coach always likes to find strong teams for us to play practice matches.”

You Ziyu, who was the most tired, couldn’t say a word.

After all, not all tall men over 2.1 meters in this world possess the physical stamina to run a marathon. Their larger body size makes them more prone to fatigue. Moreover, You Ziyu had a fishing hobby, so he didn’t take physical training seriously. It was truly a miracle that he managed to complete four rounds.

He was gasping desperately, resembling a dying fish, his eyes fixed in a daze. The team doctor placed several ice packs on him, and the accompanying team, Chang Xiaole squeezed his arm, saying, “Relax, take deep breaths, let the air flow.”

Newton: “Li Ling, you will continue to be in charge of the second pass in the next round. Liu Yuelou, get ready to play, so that Qiao Mingming has time to recover, You Ziyu rests, and Min Yaoyang, get ready to play!”

Liu Yuelou nodded and punched Qiao Mingming.

Min Yaoyang thumped his chest a few times and stood up too: “Yes!”

Li Ling said to Min Yaoyang, “Let’s serve later. If the opponent catches up and tries to block us in the middle, don’t worry about blocking. Xiaozai will handle the ball. You and I will run a misdirection play from the back. Move to the fourth position and execute a quick attack. Aizimaiti and Xiao Ji will also jump to confuse the opponent’s block. It may seem like we’re attacking more, but our main focus is to support your attack. If the opponent attempts a quick hit, be mindful of your running position and don’t hinder Xiaozai from receiving the ball…”

Min Yaoyang: “Good!”

Jiang Xiaohai looked at Li Ling in shock: “Er, Er, Er, have you lost your mind?”

Qin Chunxiao patted the assistant coach on the shoulder: “He has always used his brain, but if he is not in a good state, the normal thinking in his brain is not suitable for him. Now that he is in a state, he can match with anyone.”

This was like how a Siberian Husky also uses its brain normally, but the things in its brain only work when it’s in icy and snowy conditions.

Qiao Mingming wiped his wet palms on his pants twice, and stretched out his palms: “It’s the last game, Dominique bullied the kitten, is this a matter of the kitten alone? No! It’s a matter of our whole team , we must take revenge!”

Everyone pressed their hands up: “Fuck him!”

Mao Xunfeng pressed the ice pack on You Ziyu’s knee, and shouted passionately, “Fuck him!”

But it didn’t matter, as Qiao Mingming shouted “In the Spirit of the Bench” at the top of his lungs, and his voice was so loud that the on-site recording equipment transmitted it to domestic audiences in its entirety. Countless fans remembered this joke because of him.

On the Internet, countless netizens followed suit.

I love Meng Yuqing: For the cat team, In the name of the spirit benchl!

A bunch of different IDs followed to build the building, and finally built two thousand floors.

Mei Xuandong looked solemn and took a deep breath.

Seeing Qin Chunxiao fall to the ground several times, his heart became tense, but he admired the opponent’s fighting spirit even more. At this moment, Mei Xuandong was extremely looking forward to the opponent’s victory.

The old, middle-aged and young fans in the residential buildings, the white-collar and gold-collar workers who take out their mobile phones to relax when working overtime in the company, the sports students in a group in the sports school… They all looked at the screen seriously.

The biscuits in Li Tao’s hands were all crushed: “For the cat team’s spirit on the bench! We must win!”

When the players entered the field, Xiong Wu and Du Xiaofeng looked at each other and smiled, showing mixed expressions of excitement and bitterness.

This was the first time since the start of the World Youth Championship, the Chinese team was so enthusiastic and eager to win the next game, but there were no two liberos in this game.

The reason was very simple. The Brazilian team’s attackers were too strong. Their defense efficiency was not as good as Qin Chunxiao’s. Instead, they would become the team’s weakness and made the opponent continue to launch targeted attacks. Therefore, Coach Niu did not send them to play.

Xiong Wu clenched his fist unwillingly: “I really want to fight Brazil with them.”

Du Xiaofeng touched his knee: “Me too.”

They didn’t know that when Qin Chunxiao was coaxed by Mars to play libero at the beginning, he was very uncomfortable facing the quasi-beasts and beasts in the Brazilian league. He was also placed on the bench in the first three games .

But he was a “tyrannical man” in Hunan dialect, and “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, if you can’t do it, you have to do it” in Cantonese. Since he beat a libero, he must fight well and hit the world peak, let all the attackers standing on the opposite side of the net look good!

It was the same now. He was walking on the bright road of “becoming a nightmare for the opponent’s attacker, and he was committed to making the opponent’s attacker uncomfortable every day.

At 10:9, Dominique was feeling quite uneasy. He knew that breaking through the opposing defense, particularly Qin Chunxiao’s tight marking, would be extremely challenging. Feeling anxious, he had to come up with a strategy to overcome Qin Chunxiao. Otherwise, with his declining physical strength, he might truly miss the mark and end up losing the game in a rather foolish manner!

He can’t…he can’t!

Hateful! The boy’s eyes were so beautiful that he was not human. Dominique felt like a prey being targeted by wolves, and his heart was a little cold, but he was not willing to run away. Misha Qin was only one meter less than eight. He was a little dwarf, why did he have such great deterrent power!

Rambo drank in a low voice: “Domi, calm down!”

Rambo knew that Dominique was on the verge of physical and mental limits during the four rounds of marking. Tsk, before the start of the game, they didn’t even know that the Chinese team had such a horizontal defensive barrier. Dominique spent too much in the previous game!

Dominique woke up and barely lifted his spirits.

And when the rear was supported by a tower-like defense, players can muster up the courage to attack even in the face of a strong enemy.

Min Yaoyang and Liu Yuelou looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant – they couldn’t waste the ball saved by their teammates!

Rambo, the secondary attacker on the opposite side, made a small slash again, and the volleyball rushed from the top of the net all the way to the bottom line of the backcourt. It was unimaginable that this was his slash in the fifth game.

“Get out of the way!” Qin Chunxiao yelled, Fu Biyang moved away from his direction tacitly, but Aizimaiti’s footsteps were a little slow, he was already very tired.

When the two were about to collide, Qin Chunxiao stopped moving, grabbed Azimat’s arm with both hands, and with him to stabilize the center of gravity, he lifted his left foot and kicked the volleyball backward.

Liu Zhizhi stood up in front of the TV: “Captain Qin is awesome!”

There was also a volleyball and football player who sipped: “Okay!”

This kick was much harder than men’s football!

After Qin Chunxiao’s wonderful pass was enough to be included in the “Top Ten Saves of this World Youth Championship”, Li Ling took two steps to run up and took the ball back with one hand. Min Yaoyang scored a smash!

10:10.

That’s right, even with everyone on the Chinese team performing at their best, they were still behind before scoring this point.

This was because Qiao Mingming and You Ziyu had been substituted, while the Brazilian team on the other side remained dominant.

Aizmaiti supported Qin Chunxiao, standing beside him and saying, “I’m sorry.”

Qin Chunxiao shook his head: “Can you still hold on?”

Aizmaiti gritted his teeth: “Don’t worry, I will never hold you back!”

Qin Chunxiao, Li Ling, Min Yaoyang, Liu Yuelou, Aizmaiti, and Fu Biyang all looked at each other at the same time.

Dominique, Rambo, Agassi, Billy, and two other big, tall guys who were obviously mixed race looked at them.

No one had ever thought that the atmosphere of the World Youth Championship qualifiers could be so sinister, but now this scene had happened, and what was even more surprising was that the opponent facing the championship favorite Brazil team was the Chinese team, which was considered “at most reaching the quarterfinals” before the game!
