Finally, they became my partners again…
Qin Chunxiao had a dream. In the dream was a list with 12 names, and 12 photos on it, but the photos were black and white. Even if the people in the photos had sunny smiles, they couldn’t stop the dead breath. It was very cold.
Those were the 12 volleyball players on flight AF251, all of whom had young faces and bright smiles.
His name was at the bottom. Until 23 years, he was the youngest child in the first team of the national team. Did he leave a body in the end? Will there be only stumps left? Will my parents and sister be very sad?
Qin Chunxiao was awakened by Li Ling’s snoring, opened his eyes, and sighed helplessly.
That was how it was when he got together with Er Leng, He didn’t even have nightmares for a long time, after all Er Leng was more worrying than nightmares.
Surabaya in Indonesia is the capital city of East Java Province. It had a huge port and prosperous industry. It was also a sister city with Guangzhou and Xiamen in China. It was the second largest city in Indonesia. The airport here was also well built. There were direct flights to major cities in all countries.
It was more comfortable to take a direct flight than to transfer midway, and it also effectively reduces the probability of idiots in the team and road-obsessed traveling abroad.
In Qin Chunxiao’s back seat, Ding Rong and Tong Shulan were talking.
Tong Shulan said: “It’s hard to go back to the national team, does this count as our second entry into the palace?”
Ding Rong replied: “Bah, you just entered the palace.”
Apart from drafts these days, there was no royal family anymore. When it came to entering the palace, everyone only wanted to get eunuchs.
And Fu Biyang, who was sitting in the front row of Qin Chunxiao, said to Mao Xunfeng worriedly: “Hey, Maomao, there seems to be an active volcano near Surabaya? I checked, and it only erupted once in 10 years. It scared me to death. If it suddenly sprayed, what should we do?”
Mao Xunfeng replied lazily: “Isn’t your chicken farm opened near Qiongbei Volcano? Why aren’t you afraid?”
Wenchang was located in the Qiongbei Volcanic Group.
Fu Biyang: “Can it be the same? The volcano in my hometown hasn’t erupted for many years, and the Bromo volcano in Surabaya was still smoking last year.”
Mao Xunfeng: “Sleep, don’t think about these useless things. I live near Mount Emei. It erupted last time and caused the mass extinction of creatures in the Permian period. The meteorite that killed the dinosaurs may not have the combat power of the Permian mass extinction. It’s so scary, but have I panicked?”
Fu Biyang: “Of course you don’t panic, the Permian was 250 million years ago!”
The topic of the two quickly shifted to whether it was a meteorite or aliens that killed the dinosaurs, and then shifted to how long the aliens had been observing humans, and whether Xiaozai and Deputy Ding were aliens.
Even though the national team was formed five years in advance this time, Zhang Feng and Du Xiaofeng, who had retired in 23 years, also became teammates, but the captain and deputy team remained unchanged.
Unknown who called it first, but domestic coaches, players, and fans all recognize it: the captain was Qiao Mingming, the only one among the four main players, and the most reliable deputy team member was Ding Rong.
Qin Chunxiao’s seniority was too low as a post-2000 player. He was fine being a vice-team member in the provincial team and the national youth team, but in the national team, he was still considered a young player. Even his jersey number had changed from No. 2 to No. 8.
However, Qin Chunxiao had always liked the number 8, and the reason was very simple. Due to various problems, the number 8 on the national team uniform looked more like a day.
Not only was he number 8, he was also number 8!
They ate an airplane meal on the way. It was a special meal ordered by Lao Niu on the team’s funds. It was bland and tasteless, but it was said that the ingredients were safe.
When they got to the place, Qiao Mingming and Ding Rong walked around like a middle-aged couple who had given birth to sixteen children.
Ding Rong called to gather, Qiao Mingming went to find the checked luggage, and Newton, the bandit grandpa of this big family, stumbled and contacted the staff of the event organizer.
After finally dragging the family and a group of children onto the airport bus, when they finally arrived at the hotel, they had to check in and assign room cards.
Qin Chunxiao and Gao Depi said: “Fortunately, our provincial team was not so tired when we played domestic competitions, otherwise I wouldn’t even want to be the vice team.”
Gao Depi chuckled: “Even if you usurp my position and become the captain, you won’t be tired. Old Chen is more mother than mother, and has done everything!”
This time, the organizer arranged for the five-star Surabaya Ciputra Hotel, which had a gym and an indoor swimming pool, and the environment was quite good.
Newton waved the room card: “There are two people in one room, come here and get the room card. The official language of Indonesia is Bahasa, and I can’t understand it. If you get lost, I can’t find it, so you are not allowed to run around.”
Like those players in Europe and the United States who are open to the country, it was absolutely not allowed to be a nightclub little prince on the way to the game. Lao Niu was absolutely not allowed here. No matter how well you play the ball, you have to get out.
After saying this, he returned to his pleasant face and treated the players to fried bananas.
The 2017 Men’s Volleyball Asian Championships was a strong blow to the entire Asian men’s volleyball team. The Chinese men’s volleyball team, which had just been defeated in the World Men’s Volleyball League, appeared as an avenger, vowing to use the opponent’s disastrous defeat to wash away the shame.
At least Lao Niu came here with this mentality, and the group of young players under him who had just been promoted from the youth team were all ambitious and set their goal for the gold medal.
Before the game, Coach Niu showed them the groups: “There are 16 teams participating in the Asian Championship, and Australia is also in our group, Group D.”
The Asian Championship followed a round-robin system. Ding Rong asked, “Who else is in Group D?”
Newton replied, “Besides us, Australia, Hong Kong, and Thailand.”
In many competitions, including the Olympics, regions were allowed to participate alongside countries. So, whether it was the Olympics or other events, both Taiwan and Hong Kong could send their own delegations to participate. However, it was widely known that they were all part of China. This was common knowledge based on legal principles and anyone who has watched sports events knows this!
The athletes considered this to be normal and focused on discussing how to deal with their next opponent.
You Ziyu thumped his chest: “After I returned from the World Youth Championship, I started to exercise.”
Fu Biyang: “Didn’t the national team have a new sponsor named Caiwang? The serving machine they gave is also very useful. Squid and I are obviously using that thing to practice returning and returning the ball these days.”
Li Ling showed off: “Xiaozai is the best player at that game. The ball machine sprays the ball bang bang. He stands there and catches the ball with afterimages, just like Avalokitesvara.”
Everyone laughed together, feeling that life was getting better. No one expected that Zhao Youde’s entry into the game would be revealed by the national team, and there would be sponsors coming to them. It could be seen that there were still many people who were optimistic about them.
When he entered the arena the next day, Qiao Mingming was still an old macho, with his left arm around Kong Duojin, who was two meters one, and his right arm, You Ziyu, who was two meters one, followed by Fu Biyang and Min Yaoyang. When individuals stand in a row, it was simply a black boss out of the street.
The players of the Thai team looked at the Chinese team dumbfounded, and one of them was full of doubts: “Is the Chinese team like this before?”
Obviously before, it was still a bunch of giggling and killing chickens for nothing! Why are they so murderous now? Isn’t the style of painting completely changed!
The 1.95-meter Lao Niu threw his bag on the chair, took off his coat and shook it. He only had a tight vest on his body. The bulging biceps on his arms were not inferior to many athletes, and he looked very domineering.
“Start warming up!”
All the fierce men responded in unison: “Yes!”
Qiao Mingming was so angry that half of the gymnasium could hear it: “Er Leng, you and Lao Ding and Kitty come to pass the ball together!”
Ding Rong also took off his coat, revealing his strong, scarred arm. Although everyone knew that his scar was accidentally scratched by a knife chopping ribs while learning how to cook with the cooking class, foreign players didn’t know it! So he stood in front of the net, and the Thai setter not far away swallowed his saliva.
Then captain Qiao Mingming started smashing practice very violently.
The ball was kicked to the ground with a loud sound, which was extremely bluffing, not to mention the Thai players, even the referee looked at them with his mouth wide open.
This, this, this, did the Chinese team change a bunch of people to play the game?!
When the main attack was smashing, the auxiliary attackers also practiced blocking. Among them, Kong Duojin had the second height in the team, but his hands were too small, and his wingspan was only equal to his height, not exceeding it, so he was known as the overlord. Dragon’s nickname – short hands.
Kong Duojin’s good teammate Tong Shulan once told Qin Chunxiao: “Duojin’s fighting level is similar to that of Erleng, but he is braver than Er Leng, but generally no one dares to bully him. His girlfriend is from the Taekwondo National Team. A judo champion.”
Xiao Kong felt a little soft on his body.
But this buddy’s block level was really good, especially the prediction of the ball path, which was much better than the two newcomers Fu Biyang and Aizmaiti.
In fact, everyone was not uneasy, because this time the Asian Championships were too close to the World Youth Championships. They found a lot of problems in the World Youth Championships, but they couldn’t solve them thoroughly after going back. They only temporarily changed a few things. problem, and was dragged to the adult arena.
Jiang Xiaohai also knew the children’s problem, and wanted to say a few words to encourage them before the competition officially started, but when he saw the expressions of the young people, his words got stuck.
Qiao Mingming stretched out his hand: “We want to win every match in the Asian Championships! Prove to the world that we are worthy of the national team’s uniform! Age doesn’t count, and the youth team can still beat the neighbors!”
Hands pressed up one after another.
“Fuck them!”
Under the lights of the arena, the players in red and white jerseys stood on the court with a strong aura, and their eyes looked like wolves.
The young wolves had come to a new hunting ground, and today’s feast starts from now on!
Asian Championship Group D qualifiers, the first match, the Chinese team vs the Thai team!
The libero of the Thai team looked at the Chinese team, which had completely changed a group of people, and took a deep breath.
No problem, I heard that this team was still playing in the youth competition before, and they were all kids with very rough skills.
boom!
The ball fell heavily to the ground.
The libero of the Thai team opened his eyes wide and quickly turned his head to see where the ball landed, while the referee had already blown his whistle to signal the Chinese team to score.
You Ziyu, who was standing in position 1, raised the volleyball and whispered “the second point”, and then he jumped to serve again. With the momentum that seemed to be able to break a person’s hand, the ball went into the Thailand team’s defensive void.
In less than 2 minutes, the score on the field has reached 4:0!
Waiting for the fifth ball, the Thai libero finally touched the volleyball, but unexpectedly the ball bounced directly from his arm to the other side of the net.
Ding Rong took off, flicked his right hand lightly, and the ball landed again.
It was 5:0 now.
Winning the World Youth Championship was undoubtedly the key.
Before rebirth, Qin Chunxiao, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, had just quit sprinting and was still leveling up in the provincial youth team. His skills were not even at level 30, and he could not be selected for the national youth team as the cornerstone of the defensive support team. Therefore, the former national youth team only made it to the quarterfinals, and when Newton finally took the position, many players in the team were no longer at their peak.
For example, Ding Rong, in 2023, he will be 30 years old.
But now everything was different. In 2017, Ding Rong was only 23 years old, which was the age of playing, and the others were also ready to go.
Ding Rong made a fake move and deceived the block on the opposite side, and then made a long pass. Qin Chunxiao took off from outside the three-meter line, jumped to an astonishing height, and hit a ferocious block smash, even the coach of the Thai team stood up.
The Thai team’s main attacker moved his throat and whispered in awe: “At least 3.5 meters.”
It was unbelievable, this was actually a small person less than 1.8 meters tall. Are these Chinese people monsters!
The first game, 25:21.
Many fans who didn’t pay attention to the youth competition before were all confused.
[I’ll go, this team is a bit strong. 】
[At least 50 levels stronger than the previous one! 】
[This special code turned out to be the National Youth Team? 】
The second round: 25:16;
Jiang Xiaohai let go of his worries, sat back on the coach’s bench, and wiped away his tears.
Newton stood and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you worried?”
Jiang Xiaohai shook his head and laughed too: “Don’t worry.”
The third game: 25:18.
The Chinese team became more and more courageous as they fought, and their state became better and better. Even though Lao Niu started to change players continuously in the third game, allowing the bench to have a chance to practice, they still cut down their opponents without any power to fight back.
When the game ended 3:0, the Thai side was silent.
After a long time, their players said to themselves blankly: “Where did this group of people come from?”
Why, I haven’t seen them before?
They played in Indonesia~~~
Also ate Banana Fried~ Hahahaha ^^
Finally, they became my partners again…
Qin Chunxiao had a dream. In the dream was a list with 12 names, and 12 photos on it, but the photos were black and white. Even if the people in the photos had sunny smiles, they couldn’t stop the dead breath. It was very cold.
