My Soulmate is a Libero
After playing against the Russian team, Li Ling wiped off his sweat: “My mother, luckily that ball landed.”
It also depends on the environment for the nerve knife to grow, because in front of him, there was actually only a thin line between the god and the smoke.
When playing an attack or pass that other people didn’t expect, success was magic, and failure was smoke. Moreover, even Li Ling himself didn’t know if he could succeed when he made a move.
At this time, a well-adjusted offensive player who could save him even if the offensive pass failed, and a defensive gate that could withstand the counterattack of the opposite side, had become Li Ling’s inner confidence.
This was not the first time he had made a magic touch on a key ball, but last time he failed, ask, who saved the ball?
Of course it was his Xiaozi~
Er Leng’s rapid growth period occurred after he became partners with Qin Chunxiao. It was evident that at least half of the foundation for his rapid progress was provided by Qin Chunxiao. After all, every team desired to have a defensive gate, but not every team had someone to protect and support them during their growth phase.
Of course, each time he made mistakes and struggled, he had to learn a lesson from the bully after the game. However, this time when the ball landed, he not only escaped being scolded but also received praise. Hehe~
On the other hand, the Russian team on the opposing side seemed quite dejected after the game. However, they still found time to gesture and point fingers here, and even a guy named Anton approached Qin Chunxiao and said, “You’re really impressive, you’re one of the shortest boys I’ve ever seen with such aggressiveness.”
………
This was not how you seek death!
All the members of the Chinese team were lying down and stretching. A few players who were proficient in English immediately felt a sense of apprehension for the opponent. They grunted and got up, ready to step in if necessary, to prevent Xiaozai from getting suspended for violence.
Qiao Mingming cautioned, “Xiaozi, don’t get involved with this guy.”
Wait, does this sound familiar?
Unexpectedly, Qin Chunxiao stared at Anton for a moment, then simply nodded and walked away without saying a word. Anton thought his Russian-accented English was too strong, and that’s why Qin Chunxiao didn’t understand. He was about to repeat himself.
Fortunately, Anton’s teammates pulled him away to join them in stretching after the game.
Newton, observing the situation, had other thoughts.
When Popov, who was on the opposing side before the game, approached to inquire about Xiaozai and Er Leng’s physical data, Newton had a slight inkling of the reason.
Anton probably didn’t anticipate that he might have to work under Qin Chunxiao in the future.
It’s worth noting that these days, offending anyone with the second pass is not advisable. After all, it is the setter who ultimately decides which attacker receives the ball.
Lao Niu used to play as a setter during his time in the army, but he never dared to offend the libero. Of course, this has nothing to do with the libero being his brother-in-law. Seriously, believe him, he’s not a jerk! When he was studying abroad, he never shed a tear, no matter how much he missed his wife! Now that he’s back home, he took care of household chores, cooks, looks after his son, and respects his in-laws—all because his wife is busy with her duties as a forensic doctor. He was simply willing to support the woman he loves!
After the stretching session, everyone returned to eat and sleep. In fact, a few individuals got into the car and dozed off, leaning against the car seats, including Qin Chunxiao.
He drifted into a drowsy sleep, only to wake up with a headache. He discovered that Li the Silly was sleeping with his head tilted, so he gently woke him up. Li the Silly seemed unfazed and continued sleeping soundly.
Yawning, Qin Chunxiao got up, leaned against the car seat, and walked over to Newton’s side. “Coach, who will win, Italy or Cuba?”
The semi-finals were being played on the same day, and they had a long battle here, taking 165 minutes to complete the game. The results should have been announced earlier, but the semi-finals were highly intense.
Newton held his laptop. “Italy won. They are very strong this year. Their libero is at an extremely high level, and they also have top-notch secondary attackers.”
“Is that the same Louis who became the subject of the Italian-French coaching joke?” Qin Chunxiao expressed a bit of regret. “I wanted to beat Cuba once.”
Newton replied, “Italy’s victory over Cuba proves that they are better than Cuba. If you win against Italy, that means you’re better than both Italy and Cuba, right?”
Qin Chunxiao commended the coach’s logic.
Speaking of Louis, this person was said to be very shrewd and good at uniting his teammates. He was the future captain of the Italian men’s volleyball team. At the same time, he was not the soul of the team. Their team soul was the setter.
Before meeting that setter, although Louis was also very good, played smart, and was extremely talented, he hadn’t yet reached the point of taking off.
After all, as of 2023, there were five mythical beasts in the men’s volleyball team, distributed in Brazil, Russia, France, Poland, and the United States.
Yes, no Italian.
Louis himself only reached a height of 3.7 meters or more, and his ball point was only 3.65 meters, which was on par with the Chinese quasi-mythical beast Qiao Mingming. In terms of height, they were about the same. In terms of strength, Qiao Mingming was stronger. The ability to divide was also stronger.
As a secondary attacker, Louis was not good at scoring points, but he was extraordinarily shrewd in blocking the grid, and he was very accurate in pinching points, and his use of tactics was also to make the setter do as he said, give him the ball, and he would lead the rest. The attackers scored.
But now that he had gone to score, could he still put all his energy on the block he was good at?
Only when he meets that UR-level setter can his blocking potential be fully released.
Volleyball is a team sport after all.
Of course, those flaws of Louis could only be considered flaws in the adult game. Now Qin Chunxiao’s players were just young players who were injured and tired. It was not easy to win against the Italian team.
Newton and Qin Chunxiao said: “This year’s Italian youth team is the best at defense. There is Louis in front of the net and Dario in the backcourt. If there is no accident, Dario is the best libero in this World Youth Championship. “
Qin Chunxiao covered his face with his hands: “Tomorrow we will have to grind again.”
This year, the Chinese National Youth Team was originally only expected to reach the top eight teams. However, with their exceptional teamwork, they surpassed expectations and made it to the semi-finals. Their strong defense, resembling an impenetrable wall in the backcourt, played a crucial role in their advancement.
Tomorrow they would face a formidable defensive team…
On the bus in Italy, Louis, exhausted after several days of intense matches, watched the Chinese team’s game video with a dejected expression. He exclaimed, “Will the ball ever touch the ground tomorrow?”
Dario gave him an earnest thumbs up and assured him, “I can guarantee that at least it won’t land in my territory.”
Louis retorted, “Yeah, right! You missed several balls today.”
Mei Xuandong stayed up all night and the next day watched the Italy-Cuba match again. He immediately felt concerned. The defensive style of play made the game lengthy, with both sides constantly grinding back and forth. He feared the match might extend for three or four hours, and considering the time difference, it would be close to three o’clock in the morning when domestic spectators finished watching the game.
Lately, Mei Xuandong had been maintaining a slender figure by reducing his diet. He had a daytime filming schedule, and staying up so late might truly affect his work.
Tomorrow, he had a scene where he had to carry water. Playing the role of a peasant boy, he had to fetch water from the well, bring it home, and fill a large tank.
Mei Xuandong contemplated for a while, made up his mind, and went out to the left to find the director, requesting a schedule change.
Today’s performances were all theatrical plays, so he aimed to finish them all, and then shoot the water-carrying scene at four o’clock in the afternoon.
Director Jiang was naturally pleased that the actors were willing to catch up with the progress, but she hesitated about this request. She said, “Xuan Dong, I think your idea is great, but shooting the water-carrying scene in the afternoon sunlight is different from the morning. Even if we compensate with lighting, if we don’t finish shooting the initial scenes quickly today and it drags on until five or six o’clock, it will be dusk. Carrying water will also take time, right?”
Dusk offers a beautiful sunset, but adjusting the lighting during that time is indeed challenging.
Mei Xuandong exuded confidence, saying, “Director, don’t worry. With my physical strength, even if I truly carry a tank of water, it will take less than 20 minutes.”
He was known for his diligence and efficiency in his hometown.
Director Jiang: …
Xiaomei, who experienced a daily reminder of the limits of human endurance, gained a deeper understanding of the hardships faced by children in impoverished rural areas. In the process, she felt a sense of shame as a privileged person herself. She realized that she had been ignorant of the world’s sufferings and decided to reread Mao Xuan’s works.
At 11:00 in the middle of the night, Mei Xuandong sat in front of the TV after completing the water-carrying task. By catching up with the schedule, he would have a half-day off the next morning, so staying up until four o’clock in the morning didn’t bother him.
After the familiar opening remarks from the commentators, the TV screen displayed the images of the Chinese and Italian teams entering the stadium.
To be frank, after several days of high-intensity competitions, both the Italian and Chinese teams were feeling a bit worn out.
For instance, Dario not only had wrist guards but also medicinal patches on both his wrists, and the Chinese team was in a similar state.
That’s why some seasoned fans often say that the most thrilling matches tend to occur in the top eight. By that time, everyone’s stamina and morale are relatively high, and the weaker teams have been eliminated in the group stage. It’s during these matches that the most excitement is generated.
Just like the matches between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team and the Polish team, which were recognized as the two most captivating matches of this World Youth Championship. The game against the Russian team also received positive reviews. However, since that match took place yesterday, its impact had yet to fully spread among the fan base.
What was certain, though, was that the two teams converging in the final and competing for the championship had reached the most physically demanding moment of this World Youth Championship.
It was time to toughen up once again.
Before the game, Louis looked at Fu Biyang, tilted his head, and said to Dario, “Is that Coach Lorenzo’s pick?”
Dario, being a player from the Barbeque Club, was discovered and trained by head coach Lorenzo. He observed Fu Biyang’s physique and appeared very satisfied.
“Yes, I recommended him to Coach Lorenzo. I knew he would be the type of player the coach likes.”
And also the type Dario likes.
At that moment, Alan stood up and walked over to ask Newton about Fu Biyang’s physical data.
Lao Niu thought, “Here we go again,” and calmly and skillfully recited a series of numbers.
Since the data of the wronged pair was taken by the Russian Hamster Club, a Japanese volleyball coach whom he had known for years also contacted him, requesting information about You Ziyu.
So Newton simply re-measured and memorized the children’s physical data.
The few high school English exams they happened to excel in were all passed, and the clubs that showed interest in them had a history of good results and relatively strong financial resources. Therefore, there was no problem for them to play abroad, at least in terms of finances.
Lao Niu took up a part-time job as a salesman, and the data he provided was much more detailed than the data he reported to the Volleyball Association and made available to Zhao Laogui’s bureaucratic coaches.
