The first pass determines the team's lower limit, the second pass and the attacker determine the team's upper limit, any weak link will drag the team into failure. — Newton

On the Chinese team, not only Tong Shulan, but also Qiao Mingming suffered from injuries. As the captain, he has been in all five rounds for a long time, and has always been the main attacker. There are many hidden dangers on his body. The second half of the first inning was temporarily replaced.

This made Tong Shulan worry. He knew that Huang Mi had good aptitude, but this kid was too young, which caused him and many veteran attackers of the national team to be virtuous when they were young-a rough man who passed on the sky. .

Huang Mi is still able to block the ball, but his level of receiving the ball is not good. If he comes up, he can only be used as a strong catcher who does not catch the ball and is a full-time offense. But this is also the problem. Huang Mi's offensive ability is not up to No. The level of a beast.

Letting him come up is purely to be in Qiao Mingming's class. By the way, let's see if this rookie who has never played before can become a surprise player who is caught off guard in front of the Brazilian team who has figured out the Chinese team.

Newton admitted that he had a gamble.

But soon, he discovered that it was feasible for Huang Mi to attack full-time!Because the Guangdong Geminis are working hard.

Li Ling is the main setter, as long as he plays now, everyone can only feel at ease, and never worried... Well, there is still some worry, but Er Leng didn't smoke at all today, but started showing off at the end of the first game. .

The duty of the second pass is not just to receive the ball from the first pass and hand it over to the attacker. They are not only the transfer point of the ball, but also the commander and tactical brain, so they are obliged to provide the attacker with a smooth pass. The ball, and choose the offensive point in the team that can best avoid the opposing block.

I saw him skipping the pass at position 3, and seeing his firm eyes looking straight ahead, everyone thought he was going to hand the ball to Aizmaiti, but the ball was passed to Er Leng's back. Mi took advantage of this big gap to take off and smashed the ball to the floor of the Brazilian team.

Just looking at this one ball, Huang Mi actually has the same level of power as Qiao Mingming!

Newton immediately opened his eyes wide: "Drink! Has the seed exploded?"

Wang Yan: "Who exploded? Xiaomi?"

Tong Shulan shook her head: "No! It's Er Leng!"

A good setter can turn an ordinary-level attacker into a world-class attacker, and whether he can stand up when the game is difficult and activate the whole team with a wonderful pass is also one of the criteria for evaluating whether a setter is a top player , Tom of the US team relies on this skill to make a living.

Since his partner Qin Chunxiao is a defensive expert, and his teammates are also very dazzling as attackers, Er Leng didn't need to stand up against strong teams before, because his teammates would stand up first.

This time it was his turn.

Qin Chunxiao took a deep breath, put part of his energy on Er Leng, began to pay attention to his walking direction and position, and then when the opponent dunked the ball, he deliberately adjusted the ball cushion to make it most comfortable for Li Ling to pass the ball. The position, the height of the ball is also just right.

A knowledgeable person's eyes lit up: "It's such a comfortable ball!"

Being able to return the ball so comfortably to the setter while receiving a smash from Dominic, Mishaqin is probably already the best in the world in terms of touch.

Li Ling was still standing at position 3. This time he made a back pass. Everyone thought he was going to pass the back pass. Who knew that Li Ling put his hands together and passed the ball vertically high, while he He took several steps back to make room for himself, while You Ziyu had already completed his run-up, and after taking off, he dunked the ball to the corner of Brazil's second half.

This wonderful big slash line pressure ball made the players of the Brazilian team resolutely apply for the Hawkeye challenge.

Mars, who had been on the sidelines, hesitated for a moment, not sure if the ball was on the line. After all, he was getting older and his eyes were not as good as before. Seeing the player insisting, he nodded and signaled that he would challenge.

The camera began to replay, and You Ziyu's ball hit the baseline leisurely in slow motion, without going out of bounds.

The Brazilian team failed the challenge with a score of 16:14.

[Oye!Brazil challenge failed!The squid's thread-pressing ball is amazing! 】

[Squid's ability to control the ball is super, okay?The Hubei serving team has let everyone practice ball control since the youth team, otherwise squid would have no basis to support

Do you want to practice high spin and underhand serve? 】

Mars rubbed his eyes: "I'm old." But if he was 10 years younger, he could judge with great confidence that this ball should not be challenged, but now he is wearing reading glasses, and he is not as trusting in his eyesight as before.

The first game was gnawed by the Chinese team. In the second game, Huang Mi wanted to continue, but he was picked up by the Brazilian Libero Billy who saw through his ball. The Brazilian team also listed him as a good player. target of bullying.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Newton quickly replaced Huang Mi and sent Qiao Mingming up. The Chinese team's offensive end was further strengthened, but the Brazilian team also replaced the rookie setter, Eddie.

He is not as sophisticated as Cayo, but he has what Cayo has lost, such as abundant physical fitness, jumping height, and defensive ability in front of the net. Eddie's height is good, and he is also a good player in front of the net. It's much better to go to the front of the net and become a loophole, so when he comes up, the situation for the Chinese team becomes difficult again.

In the field of blocking, there is a word called "single pinch", which means that a player blocks the opponent alone. Usually a successful single pinch, such as Qin Chunxiao's single pinch of the US team William, is worth bragging for a lifetime. Among the top ten blocks of his career.

Eddie is a master of one-on-one pinching. He can successfully block many people without the cooperation of his teammates, and his teammates are even better at this.

Brazil's blocking is better than the Chinese team, they also have the beast Dominic,

The strength coach of the Chinese team and former female weightlifter Wang Chunchun looked solemn: "In any game, as long as the ball can't pass the net, you can only lose in the end. The Chinese women's volleyball team relies on excellent blocks to clean up the Japanese women's volleyball team several times. reason."

The blocking of the Chinese team is very strong in Asia, but it becomes a weak side when facing Brazil. In Brazil, the remaining three other countries are divided, and this is the situation.

On the Chinese team, only Fu Xiaoji can break into the top ten, but he also has an Achilles' heel—this kid's height of just over two meters is not outstanding in the men's volleyball sideline world surrounded by giants of two meters one.

People who are two meters tall can still suffer because of their height. The Olympic arena is already brutal to an outrageous level!

In fact, Fu Xiaoji's bad luck, his talent is world-class, when the coach of the Hainan provincial team dug up this treasure, his hands were shaking, but the Tokyo Olympic cycle may be a bit magical... The geniuses of this generation are too There are too many, the golden age of men's volleyball is not enough to describe, the diamond age is almost the same.

The world-class Fu Xiaoji was submerged in the ocean of geniuses, relying on his own efforts and the whipping of the old cow, he stumbled to the rank of first-line secondary attack.

The strong Fu Xiaoji supported the Chinese team's defense in front of the net, blocked the ball for the free man, cooperated with the setter to attack, covered the main attack and responded...

This time, Fu Biyang didn't get ahead. No matter how Eddie on the other side swayed, he was not fooled. Therefore, even though the Brazilian team's offense was terrible, when they won the second game, the score between the two sides was 28:26, and the Chinese team did not fall behind. Too much, and even dragged the Brazilian team to 25 points.

In the third game, Tong Shulan was replaced, and the Chinese team continued to hold on. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Brazilian team was stronger and had a more luxurious lineup, but this group of Chinese refused to take a step back. If you do, try to keep it.

Wu Di: "It's really a hard bridge and a hard horse. Fu Biyang defends the front line of the net. Qin Chunxiao is even more amazing. Among all the teams that played against Brazil in this Olympic Games, he is by far the one with the highest defensive efficiency!"

Li Laiheng: "Li Ling is also very good. He passed the ball very lightly and steadily today, and his spin was unloaded very well, so the attacker will be very comfortable to play. It can be said that he effectively supported the Chinese team's offense today, which is very remarkable. "

[Stunned!Mom is so relieved to see you transforming from a fan to a complete body! 】

[Today I was stupefied like a god! 】

[Gemini has always tried its best to support all the partners of the team. 】

【Rooster is also very competitive today, and has held its position for a long time without making a sound. 】

At the end of the third game, Fu Biyang's finger was dislocated by Dominic. He left the field with his hands in his hands and received emergency treatment from the team doctor, which was to replace the bone

, and then tied the dislocated middle finger and the intact index finger together with a bandage.

This way you can continue blocking.

Now there is no time to go to the hospital, Kong Duojin replaced Fu Biyang, but Fu Biyang is still sitting on the bench, ready to play at any time.

You Ziyu's wrist is also under heavy load, but his high-spin underhand serve is currently the most useful serve against Brazil. In order to score, he dare not use it. Qin Chunxiao's forehead is still green, and the skin on his arm is broken Still wearing a bandage, the dive is still a dive.

But after the reliable Fu Biyang went offline temporarily, the situation of the Chinese team became even more difficult. They lost the third game, and they also fell behind after the start of the fourth game.

Newton had run out of moves at this time, and he played all the cards he could play. Er Leng and Fu Biyang had exploded, and the other players had also shown their excellent form.

They have lost for too many years, and they have been weak teams for too many years. It is not easy to catch up with those strong teams. If they want to win, they only have krypton blood bars.

Qin Chunxiao rushed towards the ball that was dunked by Dominic again, and was hit by the ball and sat on the ground.

The offensive efficiency of the Brazilian team is too high. They know what their advantages are, so they let Dominic attack with super hands. In order not to lose points, the Chinese team must defend. Huang Mi did not defend when he was on the court. The speed of points is like bloodletting.

They were dragged to a situation where they bombarded and bled each other with the Brazilian team, but they were obviously not as good as the opponent's knife.

Newton called a timeout at this juncture.

"The essence of winning is to either be able to defend better than the opponent, or to be able to attack better than the opponent, or to have the same offense and defense as the opponent, but with more perseverance than them. If we can hold on to that breath until the end, we can reach a level with them. I also believe that you have that tone."

Saying so, he changed the lineup.

Attackers: Qiao Mingming, Tong Shulan, You Ziyu, Liu Yuelou.

Second biography: Li Ling.

Freeman: Qin Chunxiao.

Gao Depi is on standby outside the field, changing positions with Qin Chunxiao during the rotation.

Newton changed to a frenzied battle lineup that burns blood. Except for Qin Chunxiao who is a free man, everyone else can attack, including Li Ling.

"Tomorrow we have to deal with Italy, but you also know that your winning percentage against Italy is about the same as against Brazil, and everyone is exhausted today, if you still can't win, you will definitely lose tomorrow, and then we will stay in the quarterfinals Now that you are in the position, you will definitely not be reconciled to such a result, will you?"

Their coach stood up: "So you must win today. Obviously, you don't need to defend. Everyone in this lineup is more comprehensive now. Next, I will definitely send 3D players. You don't have to put any effort on the defensive end." , just attack."

"Did you hear that? It's the same for everyone else. Except for the block, don't bother with other defenses. Xiaozi, you stand alone!"

Qiao Mingming stretched out his hand: "Come."

Press it up with one hand.

Captain Mingming yelled, "Do it!"

"Dry!"

Wu Di: "Okay, we can see that the Chinese team has changed. Coach Niu has a very offensive lineup. Basically, every player on the field has a single-core team to lead the team in the domestic competition. The semi-finals and even the history of winning the championship."

Li Laiheng: "Yes, before they entered the national team, they were the core of the offense in their respective provincial teams. After entering the national team, because our offensive lineup is relatively abundant, many players have actually transformed and developed in another direction. The most typical new positioning of the national team is Qin Chunxiao, who is the main attacker in the Guangdong team and plays a free agent in the national team."

[This is a super offensive formation. 】

[I am used to watching international competitions, and I am also used to their hard work in the team. I almost forgot the history of this group of people in domestic competitions.]

[Then here comes the question, since we're going to switch to an offensive formation, won't I be the only wolf left in the backcourt? 】

[I'll go, can the wolf stand it? 】

Can it stand it?

Before Qin Chunxiao played again, he put on a red wristband, and then

I said, I can stand it.

The current number of rounds is 1:2. The Brazilian team has won two rounds. Once they win the fourth round, the game will be over. The Chinese team will lose to the opponent 1:3, and they have already consumed a lot. It may not be possible to win against Italy tomorrow.

Can't stop at the top eight, stop now, who can guarantee that they can participate in the next Olympic Games?Even Qin Chunxiao couldn't.

There are some gold medals that cannot be contested, so there will be no next time, Tong Shulan told herself, walking up to Qin Chunxiao, stretching out her wrist: "Come, touch one."

Qin Chunxiao stretched out his wrist wearing a red wristband, and touched him.

Qiao Mingming walked to his place: "Don't worry about all the bells and whistles, just give it a high point and just smash it."

Starting from the fourth game, the Chinese team returned to the style of violent macho.

Li Ling began to continuously give high-quality passes with good concealment, ability to sway the block and high ball point, and cooperated with the team's attackers to bombard the Brazilian team's position indiscriminately.

What made the Brazilian team feel a toothache was that this group of Chinese attackers all adopted the technique of jumping and landing with one foot in exchange for offense.

What hurts the most is that the Brazilian team lost when they played Italy yesterday!The world's No. [-] setter, Mattia, made them suffer. If they lose today, they will stop in the quarterfinals. This is why the Brazilian team played so hard today.

Qin Chunxiao wandered in the backcourt, showing the courage to carry the defensive end alone. He had already kicked out the deceleration from the dictionary, and his mind was speeding up. As long as he can catch up with the ball, who cares how the joints wear out!

As Lao Niu said, the Chinese team can play the same offensive level as Brazil...as long as they are willing to pay the price.

Before Newton called a timeout, the score of the two teams in the fourth game was 13:16, with the Brazilian team leading by 3 points. After the game restarted, the Chinese team struggled to chase the score to 20:20.

Mars was shocked. He thought that the Brazilian team had pushed the team to a desperate situation just now. Although the Chinese team was indeed able to carry it, and he also admired the fighting spirit of this team in his heart, the gap in strength was insurmountable.

Now that this group of lads show their enthusiasm, do they still want to reverse it?

He said to Kayo: "You can't let them reverse, Kayo, get ready, and then I will replace you to serve at the right time."

Even though he is old, Cayo is still a first-class serve master and poses a huge threat to the Chinese team.

As for the Chinese team, Qiao Mingming slammed his chest: "Let the Brazilian team dream of breaking Tokyo today! It is our Chinese team that won the championship!"

The fourth game quickly reached 23:24 under the fierce battle of the two teams. The Brazilian team got the match point. As long as they win another goal, they can end the game.

Just the last ball.

[I'm going, I'm so nervous, if I miss this goal, I'm done. 】

[Italy is very strong this year, and the probability of winning tomorrow is too low. If they don’t win this game, they won’t be able to qualify. 】

[I, I, I only wanted to see the men's volleyball team enter the Olympics, but now I really want to see them enter the semi-finals, see them on the podium or even win the championship. 】

【I know they don't have enough background. Compared with those traditional strong teams, they are grassroots. They haven't played easy games since the youth team, but I just know that they have been so difficult all the way, so I don't want to see them lose! 】

[What kind of grassroots, we are not grassroots, we are also a strong volleyball country, it is only this cycle that the men's volleyball team has gradually regained its former glory. We have a tacit understanding and skills, and our physical fitness is not worse than that of Europe and the United States. Why can't we win! 】

Dominic dunked the ball. This was a shot he was bound to win. He had reached his limit in terms of height and strength, but Qin Chunxiao appeared at the end of the ball path and pushed the ball forward. The power on the ball made him lie on the ground after padding the ball, but the ball was padded out in a quite comfortable arc.

"I'm stunned!"

Li Ling took off, raised his hands, and pressed the ball to the right.

At 24:24, the game point of the Brazilian team was overturned!

Wu Di: "Li Ling scored a second attack!"

Li Laiheng: "Beautiful, Li Ling is indeed the best setter in China's second offense."

At 24:25, the Brazilian team got the game point again.

This time it was Joshua's attack. He was good at hitting diagonal balls, but this time he chose to hit the ball out of bounds. The experienced player hit Qiao Mingming's fingertips with the ball, and the ball flew out of the field.

Li Ling rushed over, staggered and knelt on the ground, swinging the ball back with his hand outstretched, the ball didn't land, but flew towards the auditorium.

A figure flashed past, and Qin Chunxiao began to sprint on the field. At this time, this outstanding free man maintained an astonishing calmness. He looked at the ball and thought, this is the second shot. The position of the attacker to smash the ball is fine, but Brazil's blocking is very tight, the only one who has the hope of smashing the net is...

"squid!"

He yelled the names of his teammates, pushed the ball back with both hands, and his knees touched the baffle. The whole person lost his balance, turned his head down into the audience, and seemed to have hit his neck.

Hiss, such a fall during the [-]-meter sprint caused Qin Chunxiao to burst into tears, but he didn't care to cry out for the pain. He stood up and ran across the barrier to the field.

【saved!saved! 】

【Saved! 】

[The ball hasn't landed yet! 】

[Gemini ah ah ah! 】

Squid stood in the fifth position, with his hands raised back, his legs exerted strength, and he jumped to an unprecedented height. The ball drew a big slash in the air through his hands, and nailed it to Brazil's bottom line again precisely. .

Inbound ball, 25:25, the Chinese team tied again.

The Chinese fans who saw this scene almost had a heart attack. The Chinese team once again wandered in the gate of hell, and then struggled to come back.

接着中国队将比分掰成了26：25，又被全员开始暴走的巴西队扭转成26：26，靠着卡约的发球，又变成了26：27。

The Brazilian team won the match point for the third time. This time, Brazil's deputy attacker Mason and the second pass Kayo matched a fast break.

This time, some fans really started to hold their chests and gasped. It's over, is the Chinese team still going to lose?

Qin Chunxiao was still running, all he could see was the yellow and blue volleyball. The boy in the yellow jersey was wearing a blue headband. He had a bruise on the left side and a bandage on the right side. He looked miserable and embarrassed. But he runs so fast.

In the end, he threw out, a beautiful dive, and sent the ball to Li Ling.

Li Ling pushed the ball forward, launched a smooth high-throw line, and crossed the block of the Brazilian team. Qiao Mingming smashed the ball again.

27: 27.

The Chinese team reversed the situation for the third time, as if the desperate situation could not make them panic, even at this point, they still want to win.

At this time, You Ziyu finally shifted to the No. 1 position.

Holding the ball, he punched the ball high into the air. The high-spin ball rose to a position close to the ceiling, then fell rapidly, and fell hard to the floor of the Brazilian team.

28: 27.

As You Ziyu served again and the ball was picked up by Billy, they also organized a counterattack, vowing to kill the Chinese team in the fourth game.

Billy's ball was thrown high and could be passed or dunked. Eddie jumped on the spot, ready to smash. At this moment, a pair of arms appeared in front of him.

It was Tong Shulan's arm, like a wall blocked in front of him, Eddie's shoulder twisted flexibly, and actually changed the course of the ball in mid-air, trying to punch it from Tong Shulan's right hand, he had already I have just observed this player, he is left-handed, even if he can reverse his hand, he cannot use his right hand...

But Tong Shulan turned his hand to the right at this moment. His palm precisely pressed the volleyball, flipped his hand, and pushed the ball to the field of the Brazilian team. This time, Billy didn't have time to save it.

Li Laiheng: "Tong Shulan blocks and scores."

[Concubine Tong Shu succeeded in pinching Eddie alone, I can brag about him for the rest of his life! 】

[A terrible stop, come on! 】

[Brother Tong is awesome, seize this opportunity and win the fourth game! 】

The ball landed, 29:27, and the Chinese team won the fourth game.

"Good!" Newton clenched his fist and roared.

Chang Xiaole jumped up excitedly: "It's 2:2! It's 2:2!

"

The Chinese team completely tied the Brazilian team, and now they stand on the same starting line again and start the final race.

In the fifth game, the players moved their joints, applied ice packs, replenished water, and stood on the court again.

The Brazilian team looked at the scarred Chinese team, their sweaty hair, red faces, messy clothes, and the medical cloths and bandages all over their bodies. They knew that they were the same in the eyes of their opponents. Such an ugly image.

It seems that since the first match, the Chinese team has never won anyone beautifully. It was the same when they won the Brazil team last time. It smelled like a desperado, but they just managed to win, like a team in the jungle. The pack of wolves, even the cold, wind and snow, could not stop them from biting their prey.

In the past, the Brazilian team was only in such a mess when they played against Italy and Russia, and the Chinese team was added to the difficult team.

In the fifth game, the Chinese team took the lead and scored 14 points. This was the first time they got the match point. The Brazilian team was ready to fight with them for the last goal.

But they didn't expect one thing, that is, Qin Chunxiao's big heart can support him to save the ball again and again on the verge of death without making mistakes, but Billy may not be able to do it.

I saw Junelou jumping up and throwing the ball in Billy's direction. Billy ran forward and folded his hands to catch the ball, but the quality of the ball was not good after catching it.

The ball did not fly above the setter Eddie as he wished, but passed Eddie's hand and hit the Brazilian team's net. The ball landed on the ground, and Dominic had already dived to save it, but After all, the difference was 5 centimeters.

Because of these 5 centimeters, the game is over.

Qin Chunxiao squatted on the ground, breathing heavily, his eyes were a little blurred, but he still showed a hearty smile after seeing the ball hit the ground.

Won.

The Chinese team took the lead in achieving two victories in the group round robin of the quarter-finals, which means that they got the place to advance to the semi-finals, and the tickets for the semi-finals were in hand.

[I can't believe it, the Brazilian team was stopped by us in the quarterfinals? 】

[The favorite to win the championship just pounced in the quarterfinals?Let them pounce or our Chinese team? 】

[Wait a minute, did we smash the Olympic champion dream of the world's best team just now? 】

Did they really win?

Everything is just like a dream.

On the contrary, the Chinese team is very calm. After cheering and celebrating, it is time to find the team doctor and stretch. When interviewed by a sports reporter after the game, the sports reporter said: "Congratulations to you for entering the semi-finals. Does the Joe team feel a lot more relaxed? Tomorrow Would you like to have a good rest?"

Anyway, they are all in the semi-finals, it doesn't matter if they win against Italy tomorrow, the main players should take a good rest.

That's what the reporter meant. He asked this question because he considered that if Newton wanted to make such an arrangement, he would have given the audience an inoculation in advance, so that the wind of public opinion would not blow wildly.

Qiao Mingming wiped his sweat: "Huh? We won't lose again, and we will win every game in the future."

Qin Chunxiao followed beside him: "That's right, we will go all out tomorrow to try to win the Italian team."

Reporter: "Eh?"
