Before the children set off, Chen Aiguo suppressed his anger and packed their luggage and documents for them, and asked them to visit Yang Yun once.

Yang Yun was a former national player who was more experienced than Newton, and he was also a very good coach. When Gao Depi’s group of players won the World Youth Championship a few years ago, Yang Yun was the head coach. Even Newton this time, it was Yang Yun who brought a few old buddies to push him up. Even Qin Chunxiao was able to enter the provincial team because of Lao Yang’s recommendation.

But Lao Yang was hospitalized again.

Gao Depi drove them to the hospital and casually chatted about Lao Yang: “In the past, when the men’s volleyball national team coach was selected last time, Coach Yang and Zhao were in competition, and Lao Yang’s historical performance was better. But still failed to compete against Zhao because of poor health. Zhao later told others that it was enough to be thankful that Lao Yang could live to the age when his grandson could play. Got into a fight.”

After that dispute, Gao Depi became Zhao Youde’s most ruthless athlete, but even if it happened again, Gao Depi thought he would still refute the opponent.

He knew in his heart that patients with Marfan syndrome had poor heart and lungs and a shorter life expectancy than ordinary people, but Gao Depi didn’t like to hear others say it, because the coach who discovered him as a dwarf was Yang Yun.

It was rare for Li Ling to say something stupid, but lying on the car window, looking at Gao Depi’s side face from the rearview mirror, and found that this elder brother was very sad when he talked about Lao Yang’s body.

Even a carefree boy like Er Leng knew not to open his mouth if he didn’t know what to say at this time.

Qin Chunxiao asked: “Why was Coach Yang hospitalized?”

Gao Depi: “The old man is sick, his heart is not good, the doctor wants him to do some surgery to replace the big blood vessels.”

A high-risk operation means that the meeting before the operation was likely to be the last time.

There was always a smell of medicine in the hospital. Qin Chunxiao considered wearing a mask, but then he remembered Lao Yang. What would he think if his favorite younger generation visited him and always used a mask. He didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable by appearing cautious about getting sick, so he decided against it.

They carried a box of low-fat milk and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root powder. When they saw Yang Yun, they found that the old man was in good spirits. He was wearing a pair of glasses and leaning against the bedside to read a book. Old songs were playing on the mobile phone next to him. The male voice was clear and magnetic, and he sang very emotional.

“Even though there are joys in life, it is inevitable that there will always be tears…”

Li Ling was curious: “What song is this?”

Qin Chunxiao, Gao Depi, and Yang Yun, three people from Cantonese-speaking areas, replied at the same time: “Under the Lion Rock.”

“Under the Lion Rock” was one of the masterpieces of the singer Luo Wen, but his most well-known should be “Iron Blood and Heart” sung with “Big Lung” Jenny.

Yang Yun spoke kindly, “When Hong Kong was reunited with the motherland, the compatriots in the Hong Kong area sang this song together. I listened to it at that time, and oh, I couldn’t help but be moved. Both of you, Coach Niu and Coach Chen, also listened to it and shed tears. I said that if I had the chance in the future, I would go to the port area and play for my compatriots. And in less than two months, there really was a friendly match to be played there.”

As he reminisced, Yang Yun’s eyes shone with the clarity and brightness of a young man.

“I was an assistant coach at the time, and I went along. The three of us looked like country bumpkins when we went shopping. The Asian Tigers are so prosperous, and their players take great pride in playing with the spirit of Lion Mountain. But now our side is developing well too. We have the spirit of Lion Mountain, the tenacity to fight, the ability to let go of internal conflicts, and the spirit of unity in pursuing our dreams. We have it too!”

He talked about ancient times for a while, then he seemed to think of something, and quickly asked the three boys to sit down, and when they sat down, he looked at Gao Depi and Qin Chunxiao and smiled complacently.

“I knew Xiaopi could always stand up again, and you, Xiaozai, the first time I saw you play, I knew you could stand out, Lingzai, is it fun to play with Xiaozai?”

Yang Yun didn’t say whether playing with Qin Chunxiao could always win, but asked “is it fun”.

Li Ling replied seriously: “It’s very fun, and I feel at ease. With him, it’s like playing a dungeon with a father T behind me. I can fight monsters and upgrade as much as I want.”

Yang Yun: “I also find it fun when I play. Being a coach is fun. After so many years, it’s still fun to watch you play.”

One afternoon passed, and Yang Yun talked about his playing experience, coaching experience, guidance and expectations for the three young people, and told them that he played well in the Asian Championships, and Lao Yang never lost when he was playing a neighboring country, in the generation of his disciples, he shouldn’t lose.

Gao Depi, a disciple of the Yang sect, clenched his fists tightly, and firmly agreed. Before leaving, Qin Chunxiao bowed to Lao Yang again while pressing Li Ling.

“Thank you Coach Yang.”

The next day, they learned that Yang Yun refused to undergo the operation, thinking it was too much of a crime. Instead, he took his savings and took his grandson Yangpen to start an instant trip. The first stop was to go skiing in the Alps. After the snow, he wouldl go to Bolivia to see the Mirror of the Sky.

Seeing that the old man Yang was quite handsome, Qin Chunxiao felt relieved, carried his luggage, and stood with Li Ling, Fu Biyang, and Gao Depi at the gate of Beijing Tiantan Hotel, looking at Aizimaiti, Qiao Mingming, and Liu Yuelou.

Aizmaiti said, “Chicken, why did you follow Xiaozai again?”

Wouldn’t it be good to fly directly from Hainan to Beijing? Why do you have to go around in Guangdong.

Fu Biyang replied: “Actually, we met at the airport.”

Coach Zheng of the Hainan team specifically asked Fu Biyang and Qin Chunxiao to book a flight with the same arrival time, and told Fu Biyang not to leave after getting off the plane, and waited for Qin Chunxiao to pick him up at the same place, and everyone went to the hotel together.

Coach Zheng said: “Follow Xiaozai, don’t wander around, Beijing is so big, it’s very troublesome to get lost.”

Fu Biyang: “Okay.”

Li Ling was stunned, Fu Biyang was reckless, and Gao Depi had no sense of direction. Everyone could think about how Qin Chunxiao got here.

Qin Chunxiao: “I didn’t expect to play together again so soon.”

Qiao Mingming smiled heartily: “Yes, come on, I’ll help you carry the bag.”

Qin Chunxiao brought a lot of teaching aids and a laptop computer, a big bag on his back, and the largest suitcase in his hand, which made Team Qiao, who was rounded to two meters, look very unbearable.

Xiao Qin was not even 1.8 meters tall.

Captain Qiao didn’t realize that Qin Chunxiao was several centimeters taller than the average height of Chinese males.

Qin Chunxiao’s development period was not long, and he grew up for half a year. He jumped from 1.7 meters to 1.78 meters, and then he began to grow short again. According to Qin Chunxiao’s memory, in the following time, he grew up to 1.78 meters. The time for one centimeter was measured in years, and the time it took to step on the bone seam to close it is barely 1.8 meters.

It was not until the physical examination in the afternoon that Qin Chunxiao understood why Chen Aiguo scolded Newton for being an inappropriate person.

Because of their great coach, this time they brought all domestic players above SR, of the right age, and with enough blood.

Not only the 12 players from the World Youth Championship, but also. Ding Rong, Zhang Feng, and He Shiping from the Bayi team, Tong Shulan, Kong Duojin from Shaanxi, and Gao Depi were the six-man team that accompanied them in the practice match before the World Youth Championship!

There were 18 people in total, all of whom were top players from various provinces. Lao Niu pulled them all over, and he sighed regretfully to everyone; “It was a pity that I suffered a habitual dislocation of my shoulder during training and had to retire, and Luo Xiaoshuai from Hunan and Feng Feng from Shanghai are either undergoing surgery or getting old.”


Listening to his exclamation, Qin Chunxiao silently edited the portraits of Lao Niu and Lao Chen into a certain movie in his mind, and automatically dubbed the character whose portrait was edited by Lao Chen.

“I brought a bunch of boys to prepare for the National Games, ate hot pot and sang, and was suddenly robbed by Niu bandits!”

Qin Chunxiao lowered his head to open the brochure Jiang Xiaohai had sent them, and began to recognize these teammates in his heart.

Main attackers: Qiao Mingming, Liu Yuelou, Min Yaoyang, You Ziyu.

Setters: Ding Rong, Li Ling, Mao Xunfeng

Secondary attackers: Fu Biyang, Aizmaiti, Kong Duojin, Zhang Feng, Luo He

Support: Qin Chunxiao, Gao Depi, Tong Shulan

Libero: He Shiping, Xiong Wu, Du Xiaofeng

Among the four major attackers, except for Qiao Mingming, the other three did not play the main attacker. Ding Rong changed to the setter, Tong Shulan and Gao Depi changed to the supporting position, but they were not fortress-type supporting who specialized in attacking, but a comprehensive type like Qin Chunxiao who had comprehensive skills and could take care of all aspects.

Qin Chunxiao figured out some old ideas about building a team.

The framework of the new generation of national teams was the World Youth Championship team. They were young, talented, and had a good team atmosphere.

Except for He Shiping, the players added this time were all born in the 1990s. They were in their prime and have more experience in competitions. They had also played against young players in practice games. Everyone knew each other very well.

Even if the leader let Lao Niu took up the position of head coach of the national team later, Lao Niu would still use this team to build the team, because this team was really comprehensive, both offensive and defensive, and had great potential. Once the potential was fully released, not to mention playing against European and American teams, it was absolutely invincible in the Asian region!


Qin Chunxiao was right, but what Lao Niu wants to build was not an Asian strong team, but a world strong team, which means that they must have a world-class defense as the cornerstone of this team.

Newton put his eyes on Qin Chunxiao with a smile in his eyes.

That was his cornerstone.

“Line up! The time is tight this time. We will arrive in Surabaya, Indonesia on July 20, and the Asian Championships will officially open on July 24, so we only have one week left to run in.”

Lao Niu looked at the time on his phone: “Fortunately, you are already old acquaintances, come to draw lots and play a practice game to warm up first.”

On the second day, the official website of the Volleyball Association released the 18-man roster of the temporary new national team, which aroused different opinions.

In a certain volleyball forum, many old fans were dumbfounded.

[Old man, ruthless man, didn’t even keep a single player from Zhao, and directly mentioned all the youth team members to the adult team? 】

[Let a group of kids play in the Asian Championships? I admit that they are very strong, but the senior competition and the youth competition are not the same thing! Calm down, old cow!】

[What are you panicking! All the four main attackers have returned to the national team. This team is not weak, okay? 】

[In the group of World Youth Champions led by Lao Yang, all those whose injuries were not serious enough to retire were pulled back, and all of them were in their prime. I think they can do it. 】

[Not to mention, I also think that this team’s fighting power is much stronger than that of Zhao’s. No one in the whole team has been killed for nothing. The weakest Luo He has trained with Lao Niu until his arms are thick. With super long Achilles tendon blessing, tsk tsk tsk, are they rich in long Achilles tendons in Guangdong? 】

[Seeing this, I want to scold Zhao again, but if he doesn’t bother with those things, the group of players led by the old sheep should have shined, and there are only five or six kittens left, and we will wait until the old cow takes the position. Return to the national team. 】

[We have no other requirements, just don’t lose to Wanwan, Ganggang and neighbors. 】

As Lao Niu said, the national team didn’t have much time to adjust, and soon everyone got on the flight to Indonesia. Before the start of the National Games, the national volleyball fans started the journey of chasing the game before the fans of other sports.

Mei Xuandong, who had finished filming, was eating to restore his normal body shape, but suddenly learned something.

His younger sister, Mei Xiangnan, who had been in her freshman year of high school for half a year, courageously stepped forward to protect a girl who was being bullied at school. In the face of the school bully’s insults, she suddenly grabbed a stool and struck the bully’s head, causing her to become frightened and deterring others from approaching her.

Mei Xuandong had to take his sister to the hospital urgently.

Director Liu, who was already familiar with them, looked at the trembling brother and sister, and sighed: “She’s not sick, Xiao Nan is just too angry. Normal people will lose control of their emotions when they are extremely angry.”

Mei Xiangnan let out a long breath: “It’s great, I’m not sick.”

Mei Xuandong smiled and rubbed her younger sister’s yellowish hair. The two thanked the doctor and left obediently, but bumped into another acquaintance at the hospital gate.

Mei Xuandong, who was 1.93 meters tall, raised his head and greeted Meng Yuqing, who was 2.06 meters tall: “Sister Qing, good morning, is Sister Ling feeling unwell?”

Meng Yuqing looks like a giant Grumpy Cat: “She ate too much ice watermelon, and she had diarrhea. I was so scared that I sent her over overnight for a bunch of tests, only to find out that it was just simple gastroenteritis. To prevent accidents, I let her stay. I watched it in the hospital for a while, and I will go to the Philippines with the team to participate in the competition after delivering the meal.”

The 2017 Asian Women’s Volleyball Championship would be held in Manila, Philippines.

However, for a situation like Meng Yuling’s, eating a bad stomach was better than finding a recurrence of osteosarcoma, so no matter how dissatisfied Meng Yuqing was, she didn’t worry too much.

She said goodbye to the two brothers and sisters, and hurried into the hospital. The two brothers and sisters of the Mei family looked at her tall back, and felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

As neighbors of the two sisters of the Meng family, they knew that they were soul mates, and Mei Xuandong also asked them a lot about hidden soul mates.

Mei Xiangnan clasped her hands together: “Amitabha, I hope gastroenteritis is the biggest disease for the rest of Sister Ling’s life.”
