my soulmate is a free man

When the time came to January 2017, when a group of volleyball players arrived in Q City, some of them were not in a good state of mind, and they all failed the final exam.

Free man Zhou Ziming is one of them. When he changes clothes, he can still see the palm print on his back. It is said that he was taught by his mother after he failed in mathematics and physics.

Li Ling watched with concern: "My math is only 1 point higher than the pass line, and my mother almost got rid of me." Fortunately, his brother Li Yan's bets were accurate, which made his homework very dangerous. Pass the pass line and save a life.

Mo Lin was puzzled when he heard this: "It's easy to pass mathematics, right?"

Li Ling was at a loss for words for a while, and Mo Lin asked Qin Chunxiao to agree: "For science, you only need to memorize the formulas and apply them. At worst, you can study the questions for an extra hour every day. It is very easy to maintain the middle level."

Qin Chunxiao scratched his hair: "It's not difficult to maintain the upstream."

The advantage of being born again is that learning is much easier. Qin Chunxiao was admitted to the top 985 of the whole grade this time. According to the teaching level of No. [-] Middle School, one book will be stable in the future, and [-] can also be enough.

Qin Chao's mother also wanted to reward him with a new mobile phone, Qin Chunxiao asked to change into a pair of good shoes, his original sneakers were about to wear out, Qin Chao's mother readily agreed.

His final exam prizes are worn on his feet, which are worth thousands of dollars. The superior elasticity and stability provide assistance for Qin Chunxiao's jumping.

In fact, if Qin Chunxiao's bear wallet hadn't been emptied, he would have been able to buy new shoes by himself.

Qin Chunxiao sighed inwardly, chasing stars was a waste of money, and the 2000 yuan he had on hand was the subsidy from the provincial team this month.

The wages of athletes are not high. The core players of the provincial team are about [-] yuan a month. However, most of the core players of these provincial teams have national team uniforms. They are paid for appearance fees, transfer fees, bonuses, and local sponsorships The main income, athletes at that level do not rely on wages to eat.

But behind these national players, those huge athletes who are not well-known and have not hit the top are paid.

Competitive sports do not generally make much money.

Qin Chunxiao is now a player of the youth team, and the salary is not high. The monthly basic salary and subsidies add up to more than 2000. Fortunately, the board and lodging are provided by the team, so there is no financial pressure.

When going to register, Chen Aiguo kept telling the players: "Now take out your ID and registration form, and go to the queue to register."

He also brought a bunch of documents with him, including the players' health certificates and insurance certificates for accidental injuries.

This time, 14 young players came from province G, all born after January 1996, 1. The oldest, Mo Lin, was only 1 years old, and the youngest, Qin Chunxiao, was 19 years and 15 months old. Designated as the captain, and everyone was convinced.

At the entrance of the venue, someone put up an inverted triangle bodybuilder's stand, holding a volleyball, with his face hollowed out, and many players ran behind the stand to take pictures.

Qin Chunxiao also wanted to take a picture, but found that this thing is not friendly to people under 1.8 meters five. He was angry from the heart, which company made this stand?Not friendly at all!

Fu Biyang, who came to report early in the morning and wandered around, caught him, and immediately ran over to laugh: "Chun Xiao, stand on tiptoe, this way you can still take pictures of the upper half of your face."

Qin Chunxiao ignored him and raised his hand: "Come here!"

Li Ling ran over immediately, held Qin Chunxiao's armpit from behind and wanted to lift him up, almost getting beaten.

Fu Biyang was also gloating: "You are very fierce."

Qin Chunxiao: "Bah! Who's Maozi? I'm of the Han nationality!" He held up his ID card, and the big "Han" character was very conspicuous.

Although every time he changed or renewed his certificate, some people always questioned whether the information he gave was false.

Fu Biyang laughed again, Li Ling and Mo Lin lifted Qin Chunxiao up together, and Zhou Ziming squatted in front of the stand to take pictures.

"It's done, Brother Qin, just one word, handsome!"

At this time, the volleyball team from Province X came in, and they were also one of the four teams participating at their own expense. Seeing this scene, the shortest free man looked at the leading player.

"Captain, I want to too."

Captain: "You don't want to...ah."

Qin Chunxiao finally had enough fun and was about to lead the team to leave when he saw this group walking in.

Most of them are dark-eyed, handsome Uighur men, the tallest one is at least two meters tall, with a broad frame, small brown curly hair on the top of his head, gentle face, and elegant temperament.

Fu Biyang glanced at him, and said to Qin Chunxiao: "That's Aizmaiti from the Youth Team of X Province, in 98, and was selected into the National Youth Team two years ago."

Qin Chunxiao: "I know, he is also a secondary attacker, right?"

Fu Biyang comforted him carelessly: "Don't worry, I'm better than Aizmat. If you can win, I can beat him."

Qin Chunxiao believes that Fu Biyang is a genius, and Ai Zimaiti is more than two meters tall, and he is also a talented party with a wingspan beyond his height. The pressure in front of the net is no less than that of Fu Biyang, and he is also a top blocker in Asia.

Qin Chunxiao showed a friendly smile to Aizmaiti, and stretched out his hand: "I'm from province G, and my name is Qin Chunxiao."

Aizmat was stunned for a moment, and shook hands with him: "I am Aizmat Harik, and Aizmat is my name, from X province."

Qin Chunxiao: "I know, you all use your father's name as your surname, right?"

Aizmat's smile became real: "That's right."

The name Aizmat means a good man, and Harik means a creator. The big man named after a hero has a gentle temper. He is good at cooking mutton pilaf and has a hobby of cross-stitching. In 2023, He was also on flight AF251.

In fact, Qin Chunxiao has long understood that most of the outstanding volleyball players born after 21 will come to play U96 this time. Naturally, he can also meet many old acquaintances.

They went to pack their luggage, and Aizmaiti held the free man under his armpit and lifted him up for a photo. He really was a very good-tempered little giant.

After a while, Lao Chen hurried over with a form in his hand: "Your opponent has come out, you have to play three games before you can hope to enter the quarterfinals."

There are a total of 16 teams participating this time, divided into four groups, with four teams in each group, and a single round-robin match within the group, that is, each team has to play one game with the other three groups in the same group, and finally according to the number of winners and losers in the game The ranking is determined by the number of games and points scored. The top two teams in each group qualify for the top eight teams.

After all, U21 is a talent-selection event, and the organizer also hopes that the teams will meet all opponents to see their ability to deal with different opponents and comprehensively observe the quality of players.

In her previous life, Qin Chunxiao played in the youth team before the age of 17, and played directly with the adult players after the age of 17. In less than half a year, he became the captain. It was the first time in two lifetimes that he played U21.

He took the list: "We were assigned to Group C. We have to play the Bashu team first, then the local youth team from Province S, and finally the Province Y team."

In terms of past records, the provincial youth team of G is the bottom of this group. If there is a big team that is eliminated first in each group, it is them.

Liu Kairui was disappointed and said: "We are fish belly in this group."

Li Ling was upset: "Say something stupid, we are no longer what we used to be, look at me, then look at Chunxiao, how can you tell me the word belly?"

Mo Lin rubbed his nails: "Play well, as long as you enter the quarterfinals, you will have more bonuses in February."

The player's game performance is also considered performance, right?

Qin Chunxiao rested her chin on both hands: "I want to buy new sneakers."

Zhou Ziming sighed: "I want to take my sister to Disney."

Mo Lin also had a dream: "I want to go to the God of Songs concert."

Li Ling: "My mother wants to buy an oven."

The fighting spirit was finally ignited under the urging of money. Qin Chunxiao stood up and said sonorously: "We will strive to win the championship on the basis of entering the top eight!"

The brothers responded in unison: "Good!"

Chen Aiguo: Is it no longer popular for young people to fight for their blood and dreams?It feels weird to burn so much for money, and you all need to be sober, according to the pre-match intelligence investigation of the coaching staff, it is not bad for you to reach the semi-finals, the championship is very difficult to win!

But for this year's U21 participating teams, the G provincial youth team is destined to be a surprise factor that surpasses all of them.

On the second day, Li Ling showed his "god" side in the nerve knife in the first game against the Bashu team.

Before Qin Yingdi and Qin Zhugong went online, Li Yingying went online first, slaying the audience!And Qin Chunxiao turned into Qin Erchuan, passing him the ball was a joy.

The Bashu team was stunned by the two of them, and the old man on the coach's bench was full of wonder: "The fairy is so slick, when did the G provincial youth team dig up these two treasures?"

Anyone with long eyes can tell that Li Ling has a strong ability to respond as an offensive player.

And the small setter who cooperated with him is also very good, the pass is precise, and every time he can hold the ball to the most comfortable point for his teammates to spike and lob, paving the way for their scoring invisibly out of the way.

Regrettably, Li Ling's god-like state lasted only one round. In the second round, the two sides switched places. The coach of the Bashu team guided the players. When they played again, their positions were different.

The three players stood in the backcourt, waiting for Li Ling, as if they regarded him as the key point of defense. Two tall and big men stood in front of the net, trying to stop him.

Looking at the configuration, it is intended to use iron and steel walls to prevent Li Ling's divine performance.

The old man of the Bashu team thought to himself that the overall quality of the G provincial youth team is only in the middle of this year's U21. Li Ling is the absolute main force and the core of the team. As long as he disrupts his rhythm, it will be a trivial matter to turn the situation back!

It just so happened that Li Ling was average in the field of defense. In his previous life, Qin Chunxiao and this wronged partner could not win the domestic championship. It was because he did not highlight his top defensive talent at that time, and Li Ling was not good at defense. , The two offensive players blindly score, after all, they won't go far.

Volleyball is a sport in which points will be lost once the ball hits the ground, so the most important thing in the game is to catch it, so as to have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

The tactics of the Bashu team worked. In the second game, the provincial G youth team lost the game 23:25.

On the stands, Jiang Xiaohai, the deputy coach of the national team, recorded: "Li Ling from Q Province is very talented as an offensive supporter. If he is matched with a defensive gate, he can achieve better results, but he lacks stability."

After the rhythm was disrupted, Li Ling's mental state obviously couldn't be maintained.

He drew a star behind Li Ling's name, and he planned to observe more.

And in the third game, Qin Chunxiao was rotated to the back row, and the first pass in charge of the serve aimed at the youngest young setter in the audience.

As we all know, whether it is serving or smashing the ball, it is necessary to aim at the opponent's defensive weakness.

It's you, little man!

The Bashu team threw up the ball with a pass, took a few steps to run up, and aimed at Qin Chunxiao with a strong jump!

The ball was powerful and heavy, and the speed of the ball directly exceeded 110km per hour. Even the coach of the Bashu team applauded in his heart.

Qin Chunxiao looked at the ball coming towards him and smiled slightly.

Eyes are amazing sometimes.

For example, when a player confidently attacks the ball towards what he considers a "petite defensive weakness", he must not have thought that this person may be a top defensive gate that can defend against monsters.
