In the gym, the game was in full swing. Song Ying from No. 13 Middle School and Song Yin from Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School were about the same strength. Although both sides were so tired that they were holding their knees to breathe, the score was still close to each other. They are all still trying to hold on, it just depends on who can last until the end.
Because of their similar names, Fujibashi Rokuro appeared halfway and successfully made the game more exciting, with all the cameras focused on Field Three.
It is rare for Coach Tan to sit on the sidelines and watch the game meticulously when his own players are not playing.
When the game entered the match point, Coach Tan called Tao You to the side and said thoughtfully, "The strength of Song Yin from Tengqiao Sixth Middle School should not be underestimated. If one is like this, the others are not much different. You have a Be mentally prepared."
In the final analysis, it was his fault as a coach for not knowing all the participating teams before the game. However, Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School was also too cunning. It took advantage of the loophole and fought its way out, successfully catching all the participating schools off guard.
It is also a heavy grenade thrown by the league group to all participating teams.
Tao You temporarily put the matter behind him, calmed down, and concentrated on listening to Coach Tan's words. His mood fluctuated with the opening and closing of his mouth, "Well, coach, don't you have any information about Kang Yi? This is, I'm showing up and she's hiding it, I, I don't understand her at all."
"Coach, why did Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School register, but we didn't know the news at all?" Another member of the No. 1 Middle School asked, "According to the process, registration should not be closed one month before the competition and the list of participants should be announced."
Coach Tan rubbed his brows, "This is the first time Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School has participated in the league. We submitted the roster at the last second... This matter is a long story. We will discuss it later when we go back for a meeting in the evening."
After this first game, Coach Tan believed that it was necessary for all the players to have a relatively comprehensive understanding of Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School and to be mentally prepared.
This opponent was more difficult to deal with than they thought.
It may even become a major obstacle on their way to winning the championship this year.
He has already asked Coach Sun to start collecting information on the players of Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School, hoping to consolidate it in the evening and have a general idea.
"Okay, this game is about to end. Tao You, please move your body again and make sure all your limbs are free to move and don't get hurt." Coach Tan took out the entry list, turned it over half-handedly, and then wrote He folded the densely packed white paper in half and said, "You prepare your own, and I tell you to listen."
He roughly analyzed some basic information about Kang Yi, "Kang Yi has been systematically learning tennis since she was a child. In terms of basic skills, she is definitely better than you. Especially her forehand and backhand interception at the net, you must Be more careful and keep your eyes on the ball during the game. But her backhand is always a big point for losing points, just like you. When you play later, you have to find opportunities to hit her backhand."
"Also, I just asked the coach from Tengqiao," Coach Tan couldn't put his next words into words. He waved to Tao You and walked to the blind corner next to the pillar, looking around to make sure there was no one there. Only within the range where he could hear their words, he worriedly warned, "Although Kang Yi has been systematically trained since she was a child, her playing style is not systematic. For various reasons, she often goes out to play wildball. Those scoundrels recruit a lot of math players, and their playing methods are very messy. It was also the reason why Fujibashi recruited Yasuichi in the first place."
Tao You swallowed hard, feeling dizzy. She really wanted to find a small crack in the flat and perfect plastic floor, stuff her head in it, and escape from the game before coming out.
Coach Tan saw Tao You's anxious look and knew that the difficulty of this game was beyond their expectations. However, in front of the players, he could only try to be calm and let them have a backbone in their hearts, "But don't worry, The league has clear regulations not to engage in such messy behavior. Whenever such things appear on the field, the referee will stop it."
"However, we don't know Kang Yi after all, and we don't know what will happen if she gets anxious on the court. Anyway, on the court, the first thing is to protect yourself, pay attention to safety, and don't let yourself get hurt; secondly, you should Go figure out how to deal with your opponent.”
Match point is about to enter the final focus
At this moment, the speed of the ball bouncing back and forth on the court became faster and faster. Everyone waited with bated breath for the moment when the ball went out of bounds, and did not dare to easily disturb the two people on the court who were focusing on the game.
There were even people in the audience with their hands clenched and their arms raised high to their ears, ready to cheer at any moment.
You can't stay in the corner for too long. Coach Tan finished hastily and led Tao You back to the sidelines. "Your backhand has always been your weakness. You should pay more attention during the game."
"And more," Coach Tan helped Tao You relax his arms and finally reminded Tao You in a voice that only two people could hear, "last point, during the game, regardless of Kang Yi's words or actions, If there is anything inappropriate or excessive, pretend you don’t see it, ignore her, play your own game, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, treat her after the game. Remember.”
Tao You took a deep breath and tried to relax her legs and arms, which were gradually becoming stiff. She was so anxious that she didn't have much thought to listen to Coach Tan seriously. She just left an ear for him. No matter what he said, she nodded in agreement.
Coach Tan felt relieved when he saw Tao You's serious look. He believed that Tao You would listen to him, unlike Gu Yi and Song Yimian...
What a big idea...
If every team member was like the two of them, oh, and the captain... After a day's game, he doesn't know how many more white hairs he would have.
It's not easy to be a coach and lead a team in a game, and it's even more difficult to be a head coach. I'm worried...
Finally, amid waves of cheers, the first women's singles preliminaries ended. The last ball fell into the net due to lack of physical strength of Song Yin from Fujibashi Sixth Middle School.
Tao You's cheeks were slightly bulging. She exhaled and inhaled, trying to suppress her heart that was beating wildly in her throat. "Bang, bang, bang, bang," she had never heard her own heartbeat sound so powerful. In the scene just now, her heartbeat Not so fast.
The hand holding the racket couldn't stop trembling slightly. The last two or three minutes of waiting for the game were the most painful.
The second hand on the wall ticked forward at a constant speed, without any acceleration or deceleration, and it did not change its original trajectory for any reason.
After the referee made the final summary, he handed the file to the staff, drank some saliva, pulled out another folder from under the referee's chair, opened it and wrote a few words.
Tao You followed the referee's movements with his eyes, waiting anxiously.
I was so anxious that I actually felt a bit of anticipation and excitement.
She now only feels that playing early, playing early, having fun early, and waiting all the time are the most tests of a person's psychological quality.
Finally, amid the familiar whistle, the referee's voice sounded, "Women's single preliminaries, second game, Tao You in the first, and Yasuichi in the sixth by Fujibashi."
"Little Youyou! Come on, you are the best! Oh, oh, oh!" Hong Xiqi put her hands in the shape of a trumpet to her mouth and shouted with all her strength. Just for this sound, she had eaten several lozenges.
"Tao You, come on! I'll keep an eye on you!" Yuan Yuzhou shouted, not to be outdone, "Come on, come on!"
This is a team member that his idol is optimistic about, and of course he supports it 100%. Now that his idol is not here, he must not call out his idol's share.
The voices of a few people did not stand out so much among the shouting audience, but Tao You definitely heard it, heard it clearly, and took it in.
She calmed down and lowered her shoulders. She took a few steps forward when Kang Yi, who was coming from behind, hit her shoulder moderately. .z.
"Sorry, I didn't see it." Kang Yi turned around and apologized unapologetically.
Tao You still remembered what Coach Tan said just now, so he pursed his lips and endured it.
"That person is Kang Yi?" Song Xiaoan clenched his hands into fists and put them in front of his eyes, hoping to see clearly, "Why is she still pushing people? What is the background of Sepak Takraw No. 6 Middle School?"
Gu Yi also saw Kang Yi's movements and subconsciously covered Hong Xiqi's mouth. "We'll wait until the game is over. This action needs to be studied carefully. There are many ambiguities."
Hong Xiqi slapped the back of Gu Yi's hand hard, turning red instantly.
She spat, wiped her mouth with a napkin several times, and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"
. "
"..." Gu Yi silently put his hands behind his back, turned away his eyes and said, "Wash it." Fingers.
Off the court, the referee stood in the middle. He had repeated the same words countless times throughout the day, and said simply and simply, "Shake hands."
Tao You and Kang Yi reluctantly touched each other's fingers and let go, showing their disdain for each other.
"Literally fancy." The referee took out the coin and turned his head left and right to look at the two people.
"Character......"
"Boom!" The sky, which had just been quiet for a long time, thundered again, and dark clouds gradually gathered.
Tao You's nerves were already highly tense. He was frightened by the thunder. Although he didn't scream, his whole body trembled and he felt his heartbeat stopped for a few seconds.
Kang Yi crossed his arms across his chest, sneered disdainfully, and rolled his eyes lightly.
"Kang Yi, please pay attention to your behavior." The referee frowned dissatisfied. He didn't have a good impression of Tengqiao Sixth Middle School, and because of Kang Yi's attitude of treating the rules of the game as a joke, he did not hesitate to give her a record. Next stroke.
Kang Yi finally restrained himself, "I want literal words."
What Tao You didn't have time to say just now was preempted by Kang Yi. She secretly clenched her racket, gritted her teeth, and exhaled, "Flower noodles."
The coin landed on the ground with the letter face up. Kang Yi tangled one hand in his hair and pretended to think seriously for a few seconds. "I want the venue here." She pointed to the ground under her feet.
"Then you serve first." The referee handed the two balls to Tao You and turned around to get on the referee's chair.
"Warm up for fifteen minutes, start now."
Kang Yi smiled, but there was no good intention in his eyes, "Be careful, don't be scared again."
"..." Tao You didn't even know where Kang Yi got his incredible self-confidence.
————————————————————————————————————
Outside the museum, a cold wind blew.
After saying hello to the uncle who was so busy that he wanted to shake people off, Song Yimian walked quickly towards the parking lot in front of him.
"Uncle Tao." He called to Dad Tao before he got into the car.
Father Tao stood behind the half-opened car door, holding the phone in his hand just as he was about to make a call, "Xiao Song, why are you face so red?"
Song Yimian raised his hand and used cold fingers to physically cool his cheeks, "It's too hot inside."
"Uncle Tao, Xiaoyou's game hasn't started yet. Are you... leaving in a hurry?"
Dad Tao shook his phone helplessly. He didn't say a few words when another call came in. "I originally wanted to watch it, but something unexpected happened at work. I had to rush back to deal with it. There is a live broadcast on my phone. Look."
Song Yimian didn't interrupt much. After saying a few words, he went back to his grandfather to wait for the roasted sweet potatoes.
After a while, I saw Tao's father's car slowly driving out of the parking lot, driving farther and farther until it was out of sight.
"Young man, the roasted sweet potatoes are ready. Take a look, which one do you want?" Grandpa, wearing thick gloves, took out the hot roasted sweet potatoes with a unique honey aroma from the stove, and placed them in a circle around the top of the stove.
"These two." Song Yimian chose the two biggest ones at a glance. They seemed to be the most delicious ones.
He took the two sweet potatoes, opened a corner of his clothes, stuffed them inside, and walked back into the museum holding them tightly.
Just now Tao You said he wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, and he remembered it. Since she wanted to eat it, he must choose the best one.
