MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 43 National Competition (7)

On the way back to the dormitory, perhaps because of the cold wind, Xie Shi'an flinched, frowned and moaned.

Qiao Yu first noticed it and laughed.

"chilly?"

Familiar voice, familiar taste, familiar body temperature.

Xie Shi'an replied in a daze: "Yes."

Qiao Yuchu hugged the man up and walked up the steps.

"Hold on, we'll be in the dormitory soon."

Carrying her back was very easy in the past, but now it was just going up the stairs, which made her sweat all over.

Qiao Yuchu was a little emotional: "I heard from Coach Yan that your highest ball speed has surpassed Yin Jiayi? Our Shi'an has really grown up."

Xie Shi'an muttered, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

Qiao Yuchu paused, and listened carefully again, only to realize that what she said was: "Tomorrow...ask for leave..."

Qiao Yuchu laughed, and walked forward with her back behind her back.

"Okay, I will ask you for leave tomorrow morning, but you have to come to the finals in the afternoon, I will wake you up."

As she spoke, she tapped the door of the dormitory lightly with her toes. The room was dark, and the roommates were all asleep, breathing evenly.

Qiao Yuchu tiptoed to her bed and put him down, but when she was about to leave, someone grabbed her wrist.

Xie Shi'an closed his eyes, his tone was urgent and fast.

"do not leave Me!"

Have a nightmare?

Qiao Yuchu was startled, squatted down and took her hand off his arm, and held it in his palm.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Xie Shi'an, who was comforted, gradually relaxed his brows. Qiao Yuchu sat with her for a while, and seeing that she was indeed asleep, he gently put her hand into the bed, tucked the quilt for her, and got up. When she was leaving, she had another bad thought and pinched her nose.

"Say you grow up, but sometimes you look like a child again, good night, little boy."

Xie Shi'an groaned dissatisfiedly, and turned over holding the quilt.

Qiao Yuchu held back her laughter and climbed onto her bed in the dark.

＊＊＊

In the afternoon of the second day, the scene of the final match was crowded with people.

The TV station also came to report on the spot: "After the last round of fierce competition, there are only two teams left in the Eastern Division, the Zhejiang team and the Binhai team, to compete for the only qualifying place. Now, the game is about to begin. Let's wait and see their wonderful performance!"

There are less than ten minutes until the start of the game.

While Yin Jiayi was doing her warm-up, she took the time to glance at the rest area next to her, but Xie Shi'an still didn't come.

In principle, if there are no special circumstances, if you are five minutes late, you will be automatically abstained.

Some teammates also discovered this problem and said complacently.

"Couldn't it be that Jiayi didn't dare to come when she heard that Jiayi was going to fight today?"

The sharp-eared Binhai team members heard it and immediately retorted.

"Why don't you dare, isn't it just Yin Jiayi, the national player is called by outsiders, how can anyone put gold on their face, let alone you are not Yin Jiayi, what are you proud of."

When it comes to fighting people, Yang Li is also one of the best in the team.

The players of the opposite Zhejiang team were in a hurry.

"You...didn't you just use a little trick to advance to the finals? Who knows what kind of ecstasy soup you have given the referee behind your back, or...you have been eliminated long ago, and you can still stand here and make irresponsible remarks."

"What did you say? What means?! Say it again, we are winning the game openly!"

Before the fight started, the two sides were already full of gunpowder. If they were not standing under the referee's nose, they would have rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

Amidst the noise, clear and powerful footsteps came down from the stairs above. Xie Shi'an walked to the rest area step by step, put down his backpack, hung up his player ID, and the referee just blew his whistle.

The radio rang and the game officially started.

She walked over, found Yin Jiayi in the crowd, and reached out her hand.

"Binhai Provincial Team, Xie Shi'an, sorry for getting up late, I am looking forward to playing against you today."

Yin Jiayi smiled slightly, and slowly held her back.

"me too."

＊＊＊

Even though they had made sufficient preparations before the game, today is destined to be an arduous battle. Apart from a national player like Yin Jiayi, most of the main players in the Zhejiang team are active members of the national team, and their strength should not be underestimated.

After losing the first two rounds in a row, even the commentator couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that our rookies are still a little nervous, but it's a rare opportunity to play against Yin Jiayi."

The fans of the Zhejiang team have already started to celebrate in advance, blowing whistles, pulling up banners, standing up and cheering.

Although there are still three rounds, it is not an easy task for the Binhai Provincial team to lose two points first, not to mention that Yin Jiayi still has a singles match, and the Zhejiang team only needs to win another one. , you will be able to advance to the national finals.

The tsunami roared from the audience, all applauding for the Zhejiang team.

Yan Xinyuan gathered his team members together, shoulders to shoulders, heads to heads.

The old coach said word by word: "Have you understood the first two games? Although they lost, the national team and national players are not without weaknesses and mistakes. Their main players have all played, and their physical strength is almost exhausted. gone."

"From now on, we will play as we usually train. Just treat this as an ordinary training match. They are your training partners, assistant coaches, and touchstones on the road to championship!"

"The outside world says that we are here for military training. It is impossible to defeat the Zhejiang team with Yin Jiayi in it. We just want to break this prejudice and create a miracle for them to see!"

"Do you have the confidence?!"

Everyone hugged each other, everyone had bright smiles on their faces, and said loudly: "Yes!!"

Yan Xinyuan took the lead in shouting.

"The Coastal Team—"

"come on, come on, come on!"

After three beeps, they dispersed.

Jian Changnian took the racket to the field.

She was scheduled to play in the third singles game today, against an active player of the national team. If she lost this game again, she would be completely gone, so she put all her energy into the game.

Coach Liang stood beside him holding a folder, watching the situation on the field, frowning.

"This game is too important, Shi'an should be allowed to go up."

Yan Xinyuan looked at Jian Changnian's figure and said calmly.

"Yin Jiayi didn't even play, so why worry? Besides, I believe in Chang Nian and every member of our Binhai team."

Jian Changnian jumped up and smashed the ball, while making plausible words. ...

"For Coach Yan."

With a bang, the ball landed in the midfield, and the opponent had no time to return to the defense.

Jane often reads the score.

She quickly ran to the backcourt with the racket and made another smash.

"In order to pick up safety."

"For Miss Yuchu."

"For grandma."

Every time she said a word, it was either a strong draw or a smash. I had never seen this kind of person who launched a fierce attack as soon as she came up. The opponent was obviously a little confused, unable to keep up with her rhythm, and was scored one after another.

The number on the scoreboard has come to 15:20.

The last ball.

Jian Changnian jumped up high and raised her arms.

"For myself, I want to - win the championship!"

As soon as the voice fell, the ball also fell to the ground.

It was a net shot with a tricky angle. The opponent misjudged her landing point, thinking that she would not pass the net, but who knew it flew over lightly, and it was too late when she wanted to go online to intercept it.

The white feathers touched her racket and landed.

Jian Changnian turned around with the racket and made a cheering gesture.

Yan Xinyuan also stood up and applauded her.

The second round will start immediately.

The head coach of the Zhejiang team is berating her players.

"You can't even beat a fledgling rookie. I think you are getting better and better. No matter what, come back for me in the second round. Do you understand?!"

The opposing team members nodded solemnly.

Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder: "You played well in the first round, so you have to play like that. Don't give someone the opportunity to pull you back, and hit her with a backhand. She is not as fast as you, so win this round in one go."

Jian Changnian nodded: "I found that I don't seem to be very nervous. If I am not nervous, my mind will be much clearer."

Yan Xinyuan let go of the person: "If you fight more, you won't be nervous, go."

Jian Chang Nianfu nodded again, and took the racket to the field.

During their competition, Xie Shi'an was warming up in the rest area. After she finished 200 ball swings, she immediately picked up the gripper and did five sets of twenty reps each. Stretching, after finishing a set, she stretched her muscles and put the equipment aside.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Qiao Yu glanced at her for the first time, and then immediately focused her attention on the arena. Jian Changnian was in full swing with her opponent.

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

After she came out of the cubicle, she was washing her hands next to the sink, and there was a sound from the innermost cubicle.

"Isn't he just a rookie? He can't beat us. Sister Chen Fang belongs to the national team."

"That's right, what are they going to fight with us? The best result is the runner-up in the national competition. It can't even match one of our sister Jiayi's finger. When we go back, we might win."

"I don't want to fight so fast, I still want to touch that Xie Shi'an."

…

The compartment door opened, and several people came out of it. Yin Jiayi was also taken aback when she saw her, and walked to the washstand as usual, turned on the faucet, and smiled at her.

"What a coincidence, we met again."

Xie Shi'an took a step back and took a tissue to dry his hands.

"It's a coincidence, but the result of the game may disappoint you."

Several people's faces changed: "What do you mean, do you mean that sister Chen Fang will lose?"

Xie Shi'an smiled and threw the tissue into the trash can.

..."Isn't this in line with the meaning of the national players?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the radio rang.

"Jian Changnian of the Binhai team defeated Chen Fang of the Zhejiang team 2-0. The next game is about to start. Please return to the preparation area to prepare for the game."

The expression on Yin Jiayi's face was slightly surprised.

She shook her hands and got up.

"It doesn't matter, just play one more game. I hope your teammates will still perform well in the next game, so that we can meet in the last game, right?"

Xie Shi'an turned and left.

"A piece of advice, it will hurt to underestimate the enemy."

＊＊＊

In the fourth doubles match, Yan Xinyuan glanced around. Jian Changnian had just entered the cutscene and couldn't play anymore. Xie Shi'an had to save his energy for the final decisive battle with Yin Jiayi, but he absolutely couldn't lose this time.

He gritted his teeth: "Yang Li and Zhang Chun..."

Qiao Yuchu took a step forward.

"Coach Yan, let me go."

Yan Xinyuan was startled, as if hesitating, Qiao Yuchu said decisively: "Zhang Chun has played in the first singles match, and the opponent must have been prepared, but they know little about me. I am an old player, and I have confidence to play for our team Take this crucial point."

Seeing what she said, Yan Xinyuan agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, come here with Yang Li, and I'll tell you how to fight."

At the beginning of the fourth singles match, Qiao Yuchu and Yang Li showed great tenacity. No matter how fast their opponents attack and kill, they could never break through their defense. Qiao Yuchu is best at playing defensive counterattacks. .

With her seasoned experience and meticulous observation ability, she defuses the opponent's attack time and time again, and then finds the opponent's flaws to create opportunities for Yang Li's smash.

After this period of special training, the personal abilities of everyone in the Binhai Provincial Team have been greatly improved, and since the training camp, there have been singles and doubles training matches almost every day. They are not only opponents but also teammates with each other. Come down, the tacit understanding is extraordinary.

First, he defended slowly, then gradually mastered the rhythm of the game, and finally launched a smooth attack.

This is Yan Xinyuan's plan.

Qiao Yuchu and Yang Li successfully won the first round.

Yan Xinyuan was holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand, but he didn't bother to drink it, it was still full, and he was guiding the tactics for them.

"In the second game, just let it go, save your energy for the third game, after dragging the game into the final game, remember to make a quick decision, don't give them time to react, because their impression of you Still stuck in the defensive counterattack tactics in the first game, you just want to play a quick break and quick kill with them, by surprise!"

The two nodded solemnly.

Yan Xinyuan patted their shoulders.

"Okay, let's go."

＊＊＊

"Okay, what we will see next is the second round of the fourth doubles match between the Binhai team and the Zhejiang team. Qiao Yuchu and Yang Li will play against Zhao Wenjing and Chen Siyu."

The TV station plugged in the voice of the commentary.

The male commentator continued to introduce.

"We all know that Zhao Wenjing is a member of the first team of the national team and won the bronze medal in women's singles at the All England Championships last year, while Chen Siyu is the seed player of the National Youth Team, and his performance in the previous games was also very impressive. Such two It is a little surprising that the opponents scored the first point in a combination of individuals."

... Another commentator continued: "Although the best result of the Coastal Province team in the national competition last year was only the runner-up in the women's doubles, everyone has seen their performance this year. It can be said that they are a dark horse in the Eastern Division. That's it, and the player who won one of the runners-up is standing on the field now."

"You must know that there are 34 teams from all over the country participating in the national competition, and there are many national players among them. Although it is only a silver medal, the gold content is very high."

While the two were talking, the game came to an end.

"Chen Siyu's last kill is beautiful!"

"Let us congratulate the Zhejiang team for winning the second game."

The audience cheers.

Qiao Yuchu took the racket and left the court. Xie Shi'an stepped forward and handed her a bottle of water, and said softly, "Are you tired?"

Qiao Yuchu shook her head, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.

"Fortunately, Coach Yan told us to conserve our energy."

Now that the final game is over, the audience is excited, and the sound of applause for the two teams almost lifts the ceiling.

Only Xie Shi looked at her quietly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Qiao Yuchu leaned towards her and put her arms around her shoulders, although he was joking, but his tone was extremely serious.

"Don't worry, no matter what method I use, I will win this game. Even if I kneel on the ground, I will shovel the ball. After all, we agreed, right? Let's win the championship together."

Xie Shi'an nodded, and covered her thumb with his hand.

"Lagou, I believe in you."
