Teacher Takeaway - First

After announcing the list, Zihan continued to practice; she even came to the last weekend's stay-at-school training.

We still interact with each other, but when it comes to volleyball and getting on the court, it becomes a bit awkward; Zihan just keeps congratulating me and asks me to cheer for her...

Soon, Monday, the first day of competition, finally arrived.I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that Sunday night, and when it was time for the game in the afternoon, I yawned and reported to the gym.

As the team of the second-year senior sisters entered the field for practice, as well as the students of the second class, the atmosphere of the whole field immediately became a little tense; A few meters; it is different from the configuration of the usual four courts, and the configuration of a main court in the finals of the third year of high school!How did this happen!

The game should start on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it is free warm-up time before the game.

"Everyone stop practice, let's get together!" Jingyun gathered all of us 10 minutes before the start of the game; 12 of us formed a circle, with our hands on the shoulders of neighboring teammates; A spiritual lecture.

"Some people should know in advance; the class leader will not come for this competition, because there are classes in the second grade, so the twelve of us must win this competition alone." Jing Yun tied a single braid today, showing her entire forehead , coupled with her thick black eyebrows and eyes full of fighting spirit, she probably couldn't help shaking when she was stared at!But this is the best shot in the arm between our teammates!

"The strength of the second class is not as good as ours, so it shouldn't be too difficult to win; but!" She looked around us, her serious expression made everyone hold their breath. "We can't be careless! We must, we must win this game steadily, the sooner the better, we can win as much as we can! We must remember that we will be the first team to play tomorrow. It's Class [-]! Today's game is scheduled by me, and I will give everyone a chance to play."

She gave a thumbs up, alluding to the students from class two who were sitting in the stands on the other side. "The other party's cheering sound is amazing, isn't it?" The second class just happened to have a physical education class, so the whole class came!Jingyun smiled confidently, "We will make them shut up soon. Everyone, show up! We will have a cheering group tomorrow!" She held up her right hand, and all of us followed her, forming a circle with our hands minaret. "Together—come! Daohe school motto!"

"Unite as one! Come on, Class [-]!" We yelled unprecedented volume!In an instant, the entire second floor was filled with our voices!

After yelling so hard, my sleepy bugs are all gone!I was holding my hair, my hands trembling slightly because of excitement; I will be on the field from the beginning, and I will win the first game with everyone!

"Xiaoyou." Just as I was standing in the back row kicking my legs left and right, Zihan walked into the arena and came to me.

"Zihan?" Seeing her smile, for some reason, I suddenly felt a little guilty.

Zihan smiled even wider, revealing the dimples on her cheeks.She held out her hand, "You have to work hard! Use your performance to help us win!"

I nodded and gave her a light high five. "I will!"

After tossing the coin, the opponent chose to serve first, and the referee teacher immediately announced the start of the game!

The formation is arranged in advance by us.In the front row are me, Jingyun, and Yating who is about to serve first, and in the back row are Jiaqi, Xinhui and Peiyao.This is our standard formation for receiving the serve.

The ball from the second class was sent from the opposite side, and the game officially started!

The ball went directly over the net and was sent towards me; it seemed that the strength was not strong, I quickly moved to the fixed point, and was about to catch the ball with my low hand... But I didn't hit the proper position, and the ball immediately spun out of bounds!

The refueling area of ​​the second class immediately erupted with a loud refueling sound!

Unexpectedly, the second class scored first?I looked at the hand that just touched the ball, what's going on?

"Don't be too nervous, normal heart...Youxuan?" Jingyun stared at me, just because I didn't gather around to receive each other's encouragement like usual!

"Oh, oh!" I nodded and glanced at Zihan when I returned to my respective positions.

She was looking at me; when our eyes met, she said "Come on" with her lips.

The second ball was still aimed at me!Facing this weak and slow-spinning ball, I should be able to catch it well!

I went up to catch the serve!Originally, she wanted to play directly to Jingyun in front of the net, but the ball was a little crooked and landed near the attack line. Peiyao raised the ball with both hands, and Jiaqi retreated to outside the attack line to smash the ball.The opponent caught it and attacked the corner on my side; when the ball passed over my head and accidentally landed on the sideline, I watched the referee teacher raise the flag, and I was dumbfounded!

How did it fall in?No... I didn't defend well!

"Youxuan! Come on!" Everyone on the sidelines yelled at me, and Peiyao also came over to put my shoulders.

"Yang Youxuan!" A very stern voice came from behind immediately.It's Jingyun! "Concentrate! This kind of ball is no problem for you!" She put her arms around my shoulders, and I was forced to meet her gaze. "Don't forget, you are playing in place of Zihan; you know how unwilling Zihan was because he was pulled from the starting lineup! So what can you do?

"Just fight for her! Do you know? If you lose today, you won't be able to meet Class Eight tomorrow! Have you forgotten our agreement on the top floor?"

The...promise on the top floor?

Jingyun and I made an appointment including this year's three champions!

"Come on! You can do it! Believe in yourself!" Jing Yun summoned Pei Yao, and the others followed suit. "Listen, wait a minute, no matter who receives the serve, hit me. As soon as I throw the ball, Yating will rush forward first, but don't hit it, give it to Youxuan! Do you know? Let's play a good tactic and give them a good look! As long as we Serve and they're done!"

This communication took a long time, and we quickly returned to each other's stations. "Xiaoyou! Concentrate!" It was Zihan!

I stared at the opponent on the opposite side of the net, clenched and released my hands, and then held them falsely again; Jingyun will do the tactics for me!I must finish it!

This time, the serve was deflected to the right; Peiyao moved quickly and made a perfect return!The ball was still on the right side, Jingyun turned her back to the net, and lifted the ball from the front——

Yating and I were almost standing on the left and right sides of the attacking line; she jumped first, swung her right hand at the lower edge of the ball, and tricked the players in the front row!

The opportunity is coming!

I ran to Jingyun's left and staggered with Yating, took off in two steps, and under their cover, I dunked hard with my right hand; the ball flew violently to the back row and hit the opposing player's feet!

Score!

"That's it! That's the way to hit it!" Jingyun clapped her hands vigorously, and I felt a lot more relaxed after hitting that ball!Breathing also seems to be easier! "Then let's serve! Do you believe that this two-to-one lead will be the last time they lead?" The smile on her face seemed to be a reflection of our expressions. "Okay! Keep going!"

When she got back to her position, Yating had already retreated beyond the bottom line and was ready to serve; at this time, there was a sudden noise from the refueling area of ​​the second class.Peiyao and I looked at each other, smiled and shook our heads.

Then change our performance, look at the second class!

***

The strength gap between the two sides is really huge.

Because, as Jingyun said, my two mistakes at the beginning were the only lead that Class 25 caused in the audience; the final score was: 25 to 25, 10 to [-], [-] to [-].It took us seven and [-] minutes to finish the game!

After the start of the second round, the players in the second class had no fighting spirit. Jing Yun immediately replaced the players on the bench, and replaced five players in one breath except herself!Jia En and Zi Han's match with Jing Yun is no worse than us with her!It's like a tactical drill, every back row can communicate with her, and Yuwen's ability to lift the ball is not bad; A is fast, B is fast, time difference, long attack... The cheerleaders in the second class are completely attacked by us Hit till it's quiet!Even the girls from the second grade came to watch us play.

At the end of the game, I only played about halftime. This kind of game like a tactical drill made each of us smile.We line up to pay tribute to our opponents and we have to deliberately restrain ourselves!

The next game is class one against class thirteen, we don't have time to watch, because we have to rush back to class!There are more than ten minutes left in this section, my God!It's too fast!

We walked out of the gymnasium talking and laughing, and Jingyun just wanted to take out her mobile phone to report the good news to the teacher. Who knew that there was already a PO in the group, it was Jiaqi!The teacher probably already knew.

"Winning the game is certainly something to be happy about, but don't forget, our most important game is tomorrow afternoon." Jing Yun smiled and reminded us all. "We still practice after school today. If we want to celebrate, we have to wait until we win the championship."

As expected of the captain, he can always remind us at the most appropriate moment; and gather everyone's morale.Just being on the court and just staring at her back is reassuring.

"Ten minutes left. Let's walk back to the classroom slowly!" Jingyun shook Jiaqi and Xinhui's shoulders, and all of us laughed along with her!

yeah!Winning!

"Miss Yang Youxuan."

At [-]:[-] p.m., while everyone was eating in the dining room, I stayed in the basement of the gym and tossed the ball by myself; after practicing for a while, the voice became more and more familiar to me.

Since the list of 12 candidates has been determined, only the ten students who originally lived in the school participated in the practice after school; we happily followed the teacher's original menu for training, and after a little exercise, the teacher shared some old stories with us; she also Listen to us tell what happened in today's game.

I don’t know if everyone was merciful, or because of the victory, some small shortcomings were covered up, and no one mentioned my little trance at the beginning of the game.

But I remember it very clearly.

"Why? You didn't stay in the restaurant to eat, but came here with the submarine to smell the disinfectant?"

Jing Yun smiled, and I saw that she took not just one, but two! "The teacher was still asking why I didn't see Youxuan just now, so I said I wanted to come to you and bring you dinner by the way. Look! What a gentleman I am, I didn't sneak up on the teacher while you were away!"

"Very gentleman!" I received the ball and took the submarine and black tea from her. "Aren't you here just to help me deliver dinner?"

Her big eyes rolled, her mouth pouted, as if she was considering her words? "Well... there is something I want to tell you."

We put on our coats, packed our schoolbags and walked out of the gym; we didn't want to go back to the cafeteria, so we went straight back to the dormitory. "May I ask why you were so out of order today?"

Sure enough, she just doesn't miss any little detail. "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Too nervous?" We passed the teaching building and encountered cold wind in the corridor of the atrium. Today, in order to play the game, the teacher specially allowed [-] of us to wear sportswear to class. We wear summer clothes, so our knees are cold now.However, it may be because we are gradually getting used to the temperature on the mountain, and we will not shrink into a ball when encountering cold wind like before.

"It's better to say...it's because of Zihan." I decided to tell her the truth.

The corners of Jing Yun's lips rose a few degrees, "Why? You mean I shouldn't pull you into the starting line-up?"

The corridor of the school building came to an end, followed by the most beautiful place in Daohe except the ring and garden in front, a small green maple forest!It’s already mid-December, and the leaves on the ground were almost swept away by the students in the outer sweeping area, but occasionally a few leaves can be seen on the aisle; there is no sunlight now, so to appreciate it, you can only rely on the antique electric lamp.A gust of wind blows, and Jingyun's jokes are mixed with rustling sounds.

"No! I really want to go first...but I think it's a pity for Zihan."

"I saw it." Jing Yun put her hands behind her back, raised her head and said, "When the teacher announced the list last Thursday, she cried and talked to you, and you even ran after the teacher!

"I can't help it. In fact, we have practiced more; even if she has the foundation, with your efforts, she will always be surpassed by you." Jingyun glanced at me, grinning and said: "This You fought for it! Frankly speaking, I didn’t think you, a short winter melon, would be able to play so well at first! In the end, you did it, and you played better than I imagined.”

"You attack personally! I'm only a little short!" I owe a beating!I raised my fist as if to hit her; she laughed, showing no intention of dodging.

Walking through the woods, the dormitory is just around the corner.

"Youxuan, this is competition." She suddenly said seriously: "Zihan is not as good as you, so he lost his starting position; we only need the best, so that we have a chance to win the championship; In terms of strength, tomorrow is the championship game, and if we win Class [-], we will definitely win the final championship; they also know very well that we are the only obstacle for them to win the championship."

My heart beat faster because of Jingyun's words, so I nodded vigorously; tomorrow's game is the final exam that we have worked hard for more than a month.

"It's tomorrow."
