My Soulmate is a Libero



Europe and the United States were the places where strong men’s volleyball teams gather, so the internal competition alone had become so fierce that it dazzled the fans.

For example, the French men’s volleyball team was also very strong, but they didn’t get the top two in the European Youth Championship this time, and they didn’t even qualify for the World Youth Championship. The Polish men’s volleyball team defeated the French men’s volleyball team youth team.

But as Newton said, there were no particularly outstanding figures in this year’s Polish youth team.

On the day of the match, in a hospital in Poland, the men’s volleyball national team responded to Sebastian and turned on the TV in the ward and tuned to the sports station.

The nurse put the breakfast on the bedside table: “Morning, Sebastian, are you feeling better today?”

Sebastian gave her a charming smile: “Thanks, I’m better now, except for a bit of itching where I hurt.”

The nurse kindly reminded: “For now, it’s better not to touch the wound.”

Just a few days ago, Sebastian was bitten by a sea snake while going to the beach, and was sent to the emergency room. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time and nothing serious happened. Sebastian’s coach scolded him severely for this and gave him a meal.

“Almost, you became the men’s volleyball player with the funniest cause of death!”

Sebastian, male, 22 years old, volleyball player, died of poisoning after being bitten by a sea snake! Let Poland have to lose a beast-level men’s volleyball support!

It was also because the injured part was too funny, so even though Sebastian was blond and handsome, no matter how many winks he threw at nurse Lily these days, they ignored him, and Sebastian didn’t even dare to ask for a phone number.

Oh, I am so miserable, he was so self-pitying, while looking at the Men’s Volleyball World Youth Championship between Poland and China.

2:2.

Sebastian was originally lying on his stomach, but now he propped up his upper body, and his whole body was in the cobra pose in yoga: “What’s the matter? When did we become so weak that we will be dragged to the fifth game against the Asian team?”

At this moment, the small player No. 2 in the blue and white uniform on the screen took off from outside the three-meter line, smashed hard, and scored 1 point from the opponent’s center!

Poland’s uniforms were also red and white, so the Chinese team changed to another set of blue and white this time.

Panting, Qin Chunxiao gave Li Ling a thumbs-up, indicating that he passed the ball well, and Li Ling immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

At this time, Chinese netizens following the live broadcast burst into tears.

[My brothers in the Melon team, you really played hard every game! 】

[It’s hard for Team Xiaoqin, it’s too difficult to be able to jump up and attack from the back row in the fifth round! 】

[Li Ling didn’t have a convulsion today, it’s great! 】

The libero of the Polish team had black eyes and murmured: “Why can people who are less than 1.8 meters tall also play the last three offenses? Are you kidding me?”

Everyone was less than 1.8 meters, why was the dwarf opposite so good at jumping! The most annoying thing was that Qin Chunxiao’s ball point was not high enough to block the block, but his timing of jumping from the back row was too good. It happened that Li Ling and Min Yaoyang handed him an empty net, and no one stopped him!

The main attacker next to him was also tired: “Stop talking, keep your strength and focus on the game!”

It had been four rounds, and no one knew how the Polish team had passed these four rounds, because they found out after the start of the game that the Chinese team on the opposite side played very well!

In name, the Chinese team brought two setters, Li Ling and Mao Xunfeng, but everyone knew in their hearts that only Mao Xunfeng was a serious setter, and Li Ling could change at any time for the corresponding position.

And Qin Chunxiao, who really went up according to the report, spends most of the time mopping the floor like a libero. The only difference from a libero was that he did not violate the rules when he jumped and smashed the ball, and he would go to the top when the setter was injured. He became a setter.

Originally, apart from the libero’s restrictions such as not being allowed to serve and smash the ball, the referee didn’t care what the other players did to catch the ball.

After they defeated the Brazilian team, the Polish team studied the Chinese team overnight, thinking that they had figured out their routines, and this game must be played.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Mingming and Fu Biyang lacked energy and vitality in this game, and Mao Xunfeng got injured. So, after losing the first set, Li Ling made a significant decision to become a setter and entrusted the blocking duties to Ai Zimaiti. In terms of attacking, Liu Yuelou and Min Yaoyang were designated as the main attackers.
So here comes the question, who is the main scoring point in the second game?

Qin the Scorer: It’s me your boy Chunxiao~

At any rate, he was also a violent main attacker. Qin Chunxiao was also terrifyingly yuppie when he was in domestic competitions. It just so happens that Poland’s main force this year was good at blocking.

Team China: Let us show you what is a surprise!

Poland team: The surprise is too much, bro.

The finger of the Polish team’s main attacker was almost rotten by Qin Chunxiao, and Mao Xunfeng, who was sitting on the bench, couldn’t help touching his bandaged finger.

Lao Niu was very happy: “As far as the angle of lending a hand is concerned, our Xiaozai is more subtle, and Dominique is too rough.”

Jiang Xiaohai also nodded, both of them had the spirit of Wang Po selling melons and selfboasting.

Borrowing too much was indeed very hateful, but what made the Polish team gnash their teeth the most was Qin Chunxiao’s changeable style of play. He would not always use violence. After all, it was Qin Chunxiao’s petite frame in the field of volleyball. With scarce muscle mass, if he wanted to play violence against big men in Europe and America, they would just laugh and blocked Qin’s attacking ball with one hand.

Therefore, Qin Chunxiao would also adopt the most efficient health-preserving style of play at the current stage. Although the style of the game was soft, the efficiency was quite high by hitting the opponent’s weak point and hitting the line.

However, international teams were still much more difficult to deal with than domestic teams. Sometimes Qin Chunxiao needed to rely on the strength of his waist and abdomen to temporarily change the spiking route in mid-air in order to hit his opponent and miss a mistake. The pressure on the waist was not small, really. When it came to keeping in good health, in fact, there was nowhere to go.

Netizens were excited when they first saw Team Xiaoqin confronting European and American players in front of the net, and many people praised him for his good waist.

[It’s so exhausting at the age of 16, the Xiaoqin team is fine, right? 】

[The old uncle, who always finds it hard to lower his back, passed by. If I played like this, I would have to lie in bed for a week after the game! 】

[Lao Niu, let’s replace Team Qiao, it’s too exhausting for a kid under 1.8 meters to play as an attacker! 】

Lao Niu asked Wang Yan to prepare the plaster in advance, and kept his eyes on Qin Chunxiao. If the child was not in the right shape, he would stand on the sidelines and yell to see if Qin Chunxiao wanted to come down to rest.

But Qin Chunxiao was also a tough player, gritted his teeth in the second game and forced his way back, the score was 1:1.

However, in the third game, his borrowing started to make the opponent’s secondary attacker understand, and the effect began to decline. Qin Chunxiao focused on scoring and hitting the line, and turned to the second pass to assist Li Ling and Liu Yuelou to score, but the third round still lost.

Lao Niu was also heartbroken watching it. His baby Dundun had been playing all five rounds for a while, and today he spent a full three rounds at the net with European and American muscular men. He was only 16 years old with a small body and a steel frame. Such consumption also made the coach reluctant.

The reason why Qin Chunxiao didn’t call out, Lao Niu didn’t change, was because everyone had the hope of winning this game.

If a team wants to qualify, it is bound to win at least two games in the group stage, and the Cuban team in the next game was a bit ugly, it was simply the psychological shadow of Lao Niu.

In the last century, the strength of Cuban volleyball made the whole world terrified. The beasts appeared one after another. Lao Niu who was still in service at that time also suffered in world-class competitions. Even now the Cuban team had begun to stay due to treatment issues. Without good players, many young players would accept naturalization from other countries after they had achieved results, but Cuba’s youth team was still very strong.

In the fourth game, Lao Niu got up and asked Qiao Mingming to replace Min Yaoyang. It happened that Du Xiaofeng was about to turn to the front row, and Luo He went up to replace him.

Before Qiao Mingming went on the field, Lao Niu said to him: “The opponents’ blocking at the net today has been effective, and they are having difficulty anticipating the strategies of Li Ling and Chunxiao. They are exhausted. It’s your turn to go up and let Li Ling and Aizimaiti continue supporting you to create opportunities and give your best in attacking. Let’s aim for victory in the fourth set!”

Qiao Mingming got the order and took the No. 10 plate to replace Min Yaoyang.

Luo He handed over the No. 7 sign to Du Xiaofeng, and Du Xiaofeng said: “Chun Xiao has something to tell you.”

Luo He agreed, and stood with Qin Chunxiao first on the court, and then heard the vice-captain say: “The No. 4 on the opposite side likes to play diagonal shots, especially in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions.”

Luo He: “Do you want me to stop him more?”

Qin Chunxiao: “No, he hits the ball too high. You can block him at the 3rd position and limit his ball trajectory. I will cover the reception. When I receive the shot, you can block him again. Put pressure on him to the maximum extent. He also has weak defense, and opponents will target him when serving and spiking.”

Luo He nodded in understanding, stood in front of the net, and gave Poland No. 4 a friendly smile.

It was also from this time that the difficulty for the Polish team to score with the ball has more than doubled!

Poland No. 4 is also a well-known attacker in the new generation, but the Chinese team had already played against Dominique, fully adapted to the violent main attack, and gradually established a way to deal with them.

They saw Polish No. 4 jumping in front of the net, and the slender-armed Chinese deputy attacker Luo He immediately followed up. Polish No. 4 had no choice but to hit the ball to the opposite No. 5, but he saw that his nails were rotten before. The little player already squatted on the spot, put his hands on the pads, and sent the ball to Li Ling.

Li Ling flicked lightly, and the volleyball fell into the Polish team’s field.

The referee raised his hand to indicate that the Chinese team scored!

At the same time, Qin Chunxiao and Luo He smiled at No. 4 again.

Poland No. 4 was angry from the heart, always felt that these two people were targeting him!

This was not an illusion, Qin Chunxiao was aiming at him! Originally, the Chinese team’s overall combat effectiveness and competition experience were not as good as the Polish team. If the guy with the strongest attack power was not knocked down, or he was sent off the field, then if the consumption continued, the two teams would at most form a situation of mutual explosion, so their whole team has to toss about No. 4, and in the worst case, it would also consume a lot of physical strength of the other party!

The Chinese team’s match against the Polish team was destined to be a battle of “mentality”!

This tactic worked, they won the fourth game, and the score between the two sides reached 2:2.

Then came the scene that Sebastian saw. When the two teams reached 7:6 in the fifth game, Qin Chunxiao, who wanted to tie the score, decided to match Li Ling with a back row attack that caught the opponent by surprise.

7:7!

At this moment, it was Li Ling’s turn to serve. Let alone the coaching staff, the teammates on the court and the audience in front of the TV also raised their hearts silently.

Li Ling the silly was such an amazing man. He often surprises and frightens everyone on the court. Watching him play always required a strong heart.

They saw Li Ling straddling his legs, making a standard squat, clapping his hands on the ground, making a full posture, and when the referee whistled, he threw the ball and shouted loudly.

“I like it!”

A dangling floating ball floated unhurriedly to a position close to the net, collided with the net, and landed lukewarmly on the opposite ground while one’s own player was covered in cold sweat.

7:8.

The Chinese captain let out a sigh of relief.

Qin Chunxiao took a deep breath: “It’s fine if you can pass the net.”

Since Li Ling hadn’t practiced well yet, couldn’t this idiot use the already familiar floating serve? Fortunately, this time he also caught their opponent by surprise and earned 1 point.

You Ziyu took a sip of wolfberry water and calmed down: “If I knew that Er Leng would take the unpracticed moves to an important competition, I would not teach him first.”

After waiting for the second ball, Er Leng continued to serve. This time he also learned his lesson and sent the most familiar vigorous jump serve, which went directly out of bounds and sent his opponent a point.

The score came to 8:8.

The teams on both sides looked at each other, knowing that the game had entered a life-saving stage.

No one thought that they must win the Cuban team, so in order to ensure their qualification, they couldn’t lose in today’s game!

The netizen who posted [I’m stunned today] silently deleted the message, looked at the screen seriously, and shouted firmly: “Come on!”

Netizens were actually a harsh and tolerant group, especially in 2017, there were fewer and fewer people who only talk about gold medals. Most sports fans who had been chasing competitive sports for many years still love gold medals, but as long as athletes could break through they would still give support for past achievements and bloody fights.

The same was true for the Chinese men’s volleyball national youth team today. They were not the strongest team in this World Youth Championship. Before the game, even their own fans thought it would be good to make it to the quarter-finals, but the children themselves were very competitive.

Facing a neighbor like the Japanese team who had to win, they crushed and won. Facing a strong enemy like the Brazilian team, they did not take a step back. The setter was dislocated, which only made the team’s morale stronger.

When it came to the Polish team, not to mention what the fans thought, the will of the players themselves to win could break through the screen and be conveyed to the hearts of the audience.

They want to win, they really want to win, even if they fought hard every game, even if there were only remnants and weak players left, they were not willing to admit defeat!

Originally, the stereotype that Asian teams could not beat European and American teams had been engraved into their hearts through too many failures, but this World Youth Championship was like a millstone, crushing this equation bit by bit. All that remains was pure desire to win.

Every player on the court was a grinder.

Boom! The number 1 of the Polish team also hit the fire, and he sent the volleyball to the opposite side vigorously.

“I come!”

The next moment, the grinder, who was the shortest but most determined to win, rushed towards the ball.

Seeing this goal, Sebastian was surprised. He opened his eyes wide and muttered: “This year’s Chinese team is a bit interesting…”

On the first day of the rematch, after 3 hours and 15 minutes of fierce fighting, the Chinese team won another difficult victory with 3:2.
