In 2017, before the epidemic, the economy developed rapidly, and the domestic sports market also showed a thriving trend. Even the National Games were full of spectators.

Men’s volleyball was not the most popular sport, and it couldn’t be compared with women’s volleyball anyway, but this year’s attention was higher than in previous years.

First of all, winning the gold at the World Youth Championship kicked off the rise of the men’s volleyball team. Then Coach Zhao entered the game and sent the men’s volleyball team into a wave of trending social and legal searches when he was sent on bail. After Newton took over the national team, he brought all members of the newly promoted national team from the youth team to play in the Asian Championships. The most amazing thing was that they actually won the championship again!

The fans were all shocked, it turned out that our men’s volleyball team was not bad.

Some people argued: “They have always been good, much better than healthy men’s football, with energy and hard work, but the luck is bad, and they haven’t received scientific training and enough training in competitions.”

Going back further, it was discovered that the Chinese men’s volleyball team had won multiple gold medals in the World Youth Championship. Additionally, Coach Yang had previously led the World Youth Championship team. Unfortunately, due to his poor health, he was defeated by Coach Zhao.

Looking at the Asian Championships championship lineup, the new batch of players came out of this World Youth Championship, while the old batch was all disciples of Coach Yang.

In the end, the fans came to the conclusion that Coach Zhao was harmful, the men’s volleyball team had potential for development, and their games in the National Games were worth watching.

For a while, volleyball fans who had the time and money to spare all went to watch the game, and Lu Xuandong was among them, but he had a special status. As a well-known singer who had recently been featured on the front page of social news, many people still recognized his face. In order to avoid being recognized, he decided to watch the game in a beast costume.

Most people would not have thought that Lu Xuandong had inadvertently evolved into a fan of animal costumes, and he had already settled the contract with the company before he turned around and came to Tianjin.
To avoid heat stroke during the scorching late August and early September, he even purchased a seat under the air conditioner. He almost got kicked out by the security personnel during the game, but fortunately, sisters Meng Yuqing and Meng Yuling suddenly appeared and vouched for him.


Meng Yuling teased him: “Xiaodong, you like watching volleyball so much, why do you wear animal costumes to watch the games?”

Lu Xuandong replied embarrassingly: “Don’t mind me. I’m afraid of being surrounded.”

Meng Yuqing was curious: “Which team do you follow? Why don’t you come to our Shandong women’s volleyball game?”

Lu Xuandong grabbed the small balloon: “I, I admire Captain Qin of the Guangdong provincial team.”

The Meng family sisters understood: “I forgot that you are also chasing stars, all right, take a good look, let’s go to the women’s volleyball team first.”

The strength of the Guangdong provincial team had increased significantly this year. Three of the starting lineup were all national players. Even if their height was not dominant, as fully complementary 3D players, their difficulty ranks ahead of the entire National Games volleyball event.

In other competitions, playing defensively alone may lead to a boring game. However, the men’s volleyball team playing defensively was completely different. The audience was used to seeing the ball hit the ground without any resistance, and then a round would quickly end, leaving the audience bewildered.

Men’s volleyball spectators enjoy it as long as they see the players catch the next ball and launch a defensive counterattack, or even let the ball fail to land for several games.

That’s right, this was an evenly matched match with both offense and defense. Compared with each other’s explosive points, each had its own flavor, and the match was also quite enjoyable.

For fans who like long-term battles, the game of the Guangdong Provincial Team was pretty good. They were a defensive team, and whoever fights with them must be prepared for a tug-of-war.

The only thing that made people feel that something was wrong was why Qin Chunxiao, who played as a support in the national team, played the main attack in the provincial team.

The 16-year-old Xiaoqin team was still at the stage where he could fly and play. His one-foot jump and one-foot landing could make him jump extremely high quickly, and his core, coordination, and ability to stay in the air were also very good.

Once Chen Aiguo asked Li Xiaoping and Qin Chunxiao, the deputy attackers, to play in two teams. They both took off in front of the net at the same time. Li Xiaoping quickly reached the highest point and landed, but when he landed, Qin Chunxiao hadn’t landed. He also pinpointed the timing and slapped his palm on the ball when Li Xiaoping started to land. He completed the smash with a one tempo difference.


This inhuman ability to stay in the air was even better than Gao Depi at his peak. Some coaches once said that if Qin Chunxiao was 20 cm taller, there would be no stronger attacker in the world than him.

Qin Chunxiao was very modest about this evaluation: “No, there are some people who are really strong in the air, can stand outside the free throw line of the basketball court, take off, and then glide in the air to dunk the basket, like Jordan in the NBA and Dominique in Brazil. It can be done, even when I jump, my feet still take two steps in the air, but I can’t do it, and it takes a lot of effort to glide.”

He tried to take off from the free throw line, but he was still 3 cm away from dunking to the basket. If he practiced his jumping skills, he should be able to make up for this gap, but after all, he was slightly inferior to the beasts in terms of talent.

Alas, the pity of the short ones.

Even when taking into consideration his Achilles tendon, in the world of competitive sports filled with cheating, Qin Chunxiao was always able to perceive his own shortcomings.

Upon hearing Qin Chunxiao’s words, the coach and all the athletes fell silent. They were unsure of what to say or how to respond.

Xiaozai, in today’s men’s volleyball team, there are only five mythical beasts, and even in the NBA, the realm of basketball gods, there has only been one Jordan since its inception! When you’re less than 1.8 meters tall and still able to produce dynamic data comparable to them, isn’t that already remarkable?

Qiao Mingming stood aside and scratched his head. He could also take off from the free throw line and glide all the way to dunk the basket, but his coordination and skills were not good enough. In the end, there was a high probability that he would miss the dunk and hit the basket with his forehead instead. .

Alas, the sorrow of the rough man.

It was these two mourners who became the only freaks in the national team who were still in good shape after the Asian Championships.

Athletes are also human beings, and it is difficult for them to maintain their peak state all the time. Therefore, the coaching staff makes periodic adjustments for them. This was a cycle of long-term ups and downs, and after the Asian Games, they would have a rest period of one to three months.

Volleyball was similar. After the Asian Championships, the coaches of the provincial teams gave the big babies time to recuperate, allowing them to lie flat and only maintain basic training.


Only Qiao Mingming and Qin Chunxiao, the former’s condition had not been exhausted in the Asian Championships, while the latter, relying on his youth, recovered quickly, feeling the intensity of each game, and swept the preliminaries of the National Games.

Poor medical dog You Ziyu, he was the absolute main force in Hubei. After returning home, he stayed up all night to review his homework for the upcoming new semester. He slipped and fell in the shower, unfortunately sprained his foot, and the injury had not healed. He bumped into Qin Chunxiao, Li Ling, and Gao Depi.

Seeing a group of Cantonese teens walking towards him eagerly, this handsome guy from Hubei almost shouted: “Don’t come here!”

What the serving team was most afraid of is this kind of pestering defensive team. Their most powerful weapon would be picked up by the Guangdong team, and the next physical battle happens to be You Ziyu’s weakness, and his foot injury also limits his playing time.

It was also the luck of the Guangdong team, because the Hubei team, as the strongest team in this round, happened to be overcome by their style of play.

The Guangdong provincial team won the Hubei team with a very high efficiency, and then faced the Hong Kong team in the second round of the group match in the afternoon. Everyone was from the Cantonese-speaking team. “Thirteen o’clock!” and other friendly dialects.

The Hong Kong team’s skills were not bad, and the level of players in each position was good. Qin Chunxiao had a higher point of the ball and was more irritable when playing. He only narrowly won this game.

For a while, many people who watched Qin Chunxiao’s game for the first time fell into a daze: “Isn’t the vice team Qin famous for his defense?”

The person next to him answered: “He’s a supporter. The supporter can attack and defend.”

The puzzled people suddenly realized: “That’s how it is!”

A buddy in a goat suit in the back row quickly explained: “He is better at defense, but his offensive ability is also ranked in the top three in the Guangdong team, so when he rotates to the front row, he will take on part of the offensive tasks.”

The two spectators turned their heads and were almost taken aback by this buddy.

“Brother, what about you? Are you afraid of heatstroke if you wear so much?”

The guy in the animal costume shyly said, “Don’t be afraid, there is a small fan in my animal costume, and the air conditioner in the venue is very strong.”

The coaches of other provincial teams who watched Qin Chunxiao play on the spot, and the coaches of foreign clubs who watched the recording and broadcast, were all smacked.

Qin Chunxiao, apart from the lack of height in the static talent, other values were given by God based on the standard of beasts, and his game skills were also good, the style of the game was flexible but steady, and he could compete with all kinds of players. The style of the players built an excellent field effect.

The most frightening thing was that he has good physical fitness and good body. He often attends full-time games but had never heard of injury rumors. He was also very young. The young player was only 16 years old, and his physical fitness was far from the peak. In terms of the average life expectancy of an athlete, he could play until he is at least 26 years old, right? In other words, he could at least maintain his current level of combat effectiveness for ten years.

Ten years!

For any coach, if such a stable and powerful player could be used by them for ten years, a single word was not enough to describe Qin Chunxiao’s value.

That was the existence of the cornerstone of the town team!

Nikola, who also followed the National Games from a distance, almost couldn’t help but smile. He thought Qin Chunxiao’s condition would decline after the Asian Championships, but he didn’t expect that the little wolf cub was still so energetic, and his condition was steadily improving.

300,000 to sign such a player was really cheap.

If he had known that Misha Qin’s ability to maintain his form was so good, he would have signed 1 million yuan for three years. This time, he only signed for one year. If he wanted to sign Misha Qin next year, he would definitely have to increase the price.

At the end of the first day of the game, the Guangdong team won two consecutive victories, and the time came to three o’clock in the afternoon.

Qin Chunxiao soaked his feet in an ice bucket for a while, his ankles and knees. Jumping with one foot was one of the main causes of leg injuries in volleyball. In order to maintain his height advantage, he jumped several times today. Steel legs were also prone to problems.

Li Ling changed his clothes and asked, “Xiaozai, do you want to go to other venues?”

Qin Chunxiao: “Look, I’m done soaking, do you want to soak?”

Li Ling said quickly: “Bubble!”

There were too many athletes who had to use ice cubes to cool their bodies, and Chen Aiguo did not get enough ice for each person, so Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling shared an ice bucket.

After putting on the shoes, Qin Chunxiao heard the movement in the auditorium. He looked up and saw the sheep and animal costume who had watched the game all day lying on the steps, and the people around him couldn’t help him up.

Qin Chunxiao was silent for a few seconds, threw the towel away, jumped over the fence with one hand, and ran up the stairs in a few steps. When he got closer, he realized that the figure in the goat costume was close to two meters in size.

The beast costume was not light at all, look at this size, the person in the beast costume height at 1.9 meters, no wonder the few spectators around couldn’t help them up.

He sighed, stretched out his hand, and wanted to say “give me your hand, I’ll help you”, but he didn’t make a sound.

Qin Chunxiao was stunned for a moment, and Lu Xuandong, who had sworn before that he would not suffer from heat stroke, but still suffered from heat stroke, struggled to raise his head, only to see Captain Qin lowering his head, looking down at him thoughtfully.

The death scene is nothing more than that!

After a long while, Qin Chunxiao stood opposite Lu Xuandong, passed his arms through his armpit, and hugged this person. Lu Xuandong subconsciously followed his legs to exert force, and successfully stood up with Qin Chunxiao’s strength.

Team Qin is so strong.

Chen Aiguo’s voice came from not far away: “Xiaozi, what’s going on with you?”

Qin Chunxiao tilted his head and shouted: “Someone has heat stroke, coach, is there Huoxiang Zhengqi water at the team doctor?”

Chen Aiguo was also warm-hearted, he immediately replied: “Yes! You help him come here!”
