Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2481: Change of Strategy
The cheers of the crowd soon stopped, but the voices continued to come from the radio.

"We are still serving from number nine, and the opponent, um, number four receives it. Oh, the opponent is very fast, number one spikes the ball..."

"Well done, our comrade number three fell to the ground and hit the ball, good!"

"It's still number two, spike, oops! It's out of bounds..."

There was silence around the courtyard, as everyone tried to imagine the scene described by the announcer.

But at this moment, everyone felt a little nervous.

It's out of bounds, so we lose the game.

"Oh oh, we win, the hitter is out of bounds, we win again!"

"Dear audience, the score is now 2-0, we win!"

Ouch ouch~
bang bang

Tsk la la

The red flag is fluttering in the west wind!

Fight with the East.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. He felt that if the announcer continued to explain like this, many people across the country would suffer from heart attacks today.

"Mom, I want to play volleyball when I grow up!"

At the door of the Qin family, Xiaodang spoke seriously to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu showed a loving smile, "Okay, then mom will play the gongs and drums for you!"

Huaihua also said, "Mom, there's me, there's me!"

"Well, both of you, go play volleyball!"

Qin Jingru squatted at the door, looked at her two nieces and said with a smile, "When you make money, you must buy delicious food for your aunt!"

Xiaodang and the other person nodded.

At this time, there was another burst of shouting from all around.

Three to zero!

"Dear audience, our women's volleyball team is outstanding, especially the No. 2 player. With three balls and three spikes, the opponent had no pressure at all!"

"Now the opposing coach has called a timeout, we can take a break!"

"I have to say here that our women's volleyball team performed very well today. In addition, we have a clear height advantage. I just checked and the shortest libero, Meng Nana, is 1.75 meters tall, which is considered tall among the opponents..."

"So, our height is still very advantageous..."

When the announcer said this, everyone immediately clapped their legs and cheered.

The Taoist priest and Lao Jin laughed even louder, "I told you, how good can your life be?"

“Back then, they were this tall.”

The people around immediately started laughing when they heard it.

Some even shouted, "We have to find some tall girls to play volleyball with in the future."

"Yes, you can also play volleyball. Just stretch out your hand half a meter and they can't even touch you!"

Everyone laughed and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

But I know in my heart that the opponent has made it to the semi-finals and is the champion of the previous session, so he must be very capable.

The height advantage is not enough to win all the games, at least compared with the league teams, there is still some gap.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, waiting for the game to continue.

At the Qin family, when Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru heard the height requirement on the radio, their eyes dimmed.

I don’t know about other families, but among the children in the yard, Xiaoyu, who is younger than Xiaodang, is taller than her.

Huaihua is almost caught up by the Yang family's twins.

It’s a bit difficult to play volleyball at this height.

At the same time, those who were also watching the game were also discussing it.

Matsumura Shimokawa's family sat in front of the black and white TV, watching the game being broadcast on the screen.

Compared with China, they can already take over international communication signals.

Although there is some delay, they are all good compared to just being able to listen to the radio.

It’s just that people’s pessimism is exactly the opposite.

Even though we got the serve first at the start of the game, our opponent unexpectedly scored three points in a row, which filled the whole house with anger and depression.

Matsumura Shimokawa, the parent, had an even more serious look on his face. His wife and daughter in the room also knelt on the ground, not daring to make any sound even when breathing.

idiot!

Useless things!
A bunch of idiots, bastards...

At the same time, an angry noise was heard from the yard next door, accompanied by a woman's crying.

This made the mother and daughter tremble even more.

Matsumura Taikawa remained calm. The game had just begun, so it was understandable that the players were nervous and performed poorly!
They still have time.

"Sister Misakiko is on stage!"

Suddenly, Matsumura Xiaoyou, who was leaning on her mother's arms, shouted loudly, and then the whole family stared at the screen.

Sure enough, a girl who looked similar to his wife walked onto the stage.

Suddenly, the whole family became nervous and excited.

Matsumura Shimokawa even picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip of sake.

The fundamental reason why their family has this treatment and can live in this wealthy area is that they have a good daughter, Matsumura Mikiko.

Omatsu Hirofumi frowned and watched the players enter the stadium.

The players are under too much pressure.

Even the core of the team, the captain Masae Kawata who performed most stably, made a serve error, which cast a shadow on his heart.

However, when he thought about the arrangements that the special envoy had told him, although he felt a little bit reluctant, it was also for the sake of the country and the nation.

"Yeah, sister wins!"

Xiaoyou watched her sister on TV play a clever lob shot that landed directly on the ground, and immediately jumped up from the tatami.

Matsumoto Shimokawa also proudly drank the wine in the cup.

The wife poured a glass of wine virtuously and said, "Xiaoyou, you must learn from your sister and play volleyball well in the future."

Xiaoyou nodded vigorously, "Yes, I will try my best!"

Matsumoto Shimokawa was very satisfied.

Of course, it would be even better if the wife could give birth to a son.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Xiahe glanced at his aging wife and felt a little bored. Then he turned his gaze to his eldest daughter who was jumping happily.

Oyanishi…

"Oh my, how did we let the other team win?"

In the courtyard, as the announcer's explanation came, everyone was dissatisfied.

In particular, the emotions conveyed by the commentator quickly infected everyone.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head as he listened. Where the hell did they find this announcer? Is he a professional? Can he provide commentary?

What Yang Xiaotao didn't know was that this announcer was not really professional. Due to the high attention paid to the women's volleyball team, the domestic live broadcast was also a temporary decision, but where could one find a professional announcer at such a short time?

There was no other choice but to find a temporary translator job from the alliance.

The translator couldn't wait to learn all the volleyball knowledge in one night, but when the live broadcast started, he was even more nervous than the players below.

Because of this tension, I completely forgot some volleyball terms.

In the end, it all depends on individual performance to set the pace...

Fortunately, people in China are not picky about this, and this guy is obviously leading the trend, which makes many people feel pretty good.

This is how you should deal with the days.

Happy to win.

Lose again.

I just don’t accept it!

"come on!"

bang bang

"Come on, girls!"

"come on…"

The courtyard was filled with noise and noise, but when the voice from the radio came on, the people around immediately quieted down!
"Oh no, the opponent is lobbing the ball again. The new No. 4 is very agile. He made a spike-like gesture, but in the end he just flicked the ball lightly, and the ball fell over the top of the defender. The players behind him were not able to catch it in time..."

"Oh my, 1 to 3, the other team scored a goal. Come on, girls!"

Hearing the voice on the radio, Siheyuan sighed along with the announcer.

"The opponent serves. Good job. Number 4 saves the ball and passes it to number 6! Number 6, number 6 passes the ball, number 2 jumps up. No, the ball is passed to number 9 behind him. Number 9 smashes the ball hard. We win!"

"One to four, ahem, no, the score is still one to three, but we have the right to serve..."

"But if we have the serve, we can win points! This is our advantage!"

The announcer spoke too quickly and made a mistake, but fortunately he corrected it quickly.

Yang Xiaotao has become accustomed to this kind of unprofessional and passionate commentary.

"Oops, the ball is gone."

"Okay, okay, we got the ball back!"

"Oops..."

"Good good..."

The people in the hospital were happy and worried at the same time when they heard it.

Those who are beating drums and gongs should hit you twice to stop immediately, and those who are waving flags should lean their bamboo poles against the big locust tree. This game has been going on for too long!

Yang Xiaotao looked down at the time. It was already past seven o'clock. The game had been going on for more than an hour, and the first round had not yet ended.

Looking back at Ran Qiuye who was concentrating, Cuiping was holding a wooden board and writing down the scores beside her.

10 to 8. Still in the lead.

"It's our turn to serve now. At this point in the game, the players on both sides are already exhausted, and the audience is cheering for the athletes."

As soon as the voice on the radio fell, the sound of drums in the yard immediately rang out.

"come on!"

"Go women's volleyball team!"

The yard immediately became lively, and it felt like the other side could hear us if we shouted "Encourage" here.

But that's exactly what happened. As the announcer shouted "Come on!", the entire city was vaguely surrounded by the sound of cheers!

After a long time, the radio broadcast another message, "Our coach, Comrade Luo Zhen, has also requested a timeout!"

"I hope Coach Luo can help the girls..."

“It’s really not easy for the girls.”

Off the court.

Luo Zhen watched the team members drink water to replenish their energy, then looked at each other.

There is an obvious physical gap between the two sides.

There is nothing we can do about it.

The other side was able to persist in exercising while meeting their nutritional needs, but most of the current team members had only exercised for a month before departure. Although the support from the Ninth Department was considerable and fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs and other items were readily available, the time was too short.

In terms of physical strength, I can’t win.

Then we can only play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses!

"We can't follow the opponent's rhythm, we have to change our style of play!"

Luo Zhen's face was serious, "Next, the setter needs to be higher, and the attack needs to be faster and more decisive. Our height is our biggest advantage!"

"So we have to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, magnify our advantages, and no matter how they change, we will suppress them with our height!"

Luo Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Block higher and faster, attack harder and harder! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The players' eyes are full of fighting spirit!
On the other side, Osomatsu Hirofumi was also encouraging fighting spirit.

"see it?"

"They are tired, they can't hold on any longer!"

"They haven't suffered as much as we have, so they will definitely fail!"

"Show the tenacity of the Great River People. You can do it!"

"come on! Come on!"

Encouraging each other, everyone entered the arena.

The game continues.

"We saw that No. 2 jumped up very high and spiked the ball. No. 7 on the other side failed to catch it, and the ball bounced out of bounds. They won. Right to serve!"

"The opponent is here again, number four again, this time it's not a lob..."

"Well done to number nine, she blocked the spike from number four! Well done... it's number two again, Wang Zhenzhen. This female comrade is called Wang Zhenzhen... This ball was really high and powerful..."

"The opponent didn't catch the ball well, and it flew out. New number 4 saved the ball. Ouch!"

The announcer's voice touches the heart of every listener.

"What the hell, just tell me now!"

Yang Xiaotao slapped the chair, speechless at the announcer.

If this happened in Department 9, he would have to be sent to clean the toilet.

Wang Dashan and others around him also looked anxious, with their eyes wide open.

"The opponent's No. 5 cushioned the ball and it flew away. Also, No. 4 saved the ball, but... it was a pity that he crashed into the fence."

"The opponent threw the ball over, let's organize the offense."

"Number two, Wang Zhenzhen dunks again!"

“The ball bounced back!”

"It's still number two, buckle again!"

"I didn't catch it, I win!"

"Eleven to eight!"

"This is an immediate effect. Coach Luo Zhen is indeed experienced!"

"Okay, let's continue the game..."

The radio was filled with the announcer's monologue. People around him had become accustomed to being startled, and they couldn't let go of their worries until the score was accurate.

"How many points does it take to win in volleyball?"

Someone asked from the side, and the person who heard it thought about it and shook his head.

Then look at the others.

As a result, this group of people just watched the game for fun and didn't even understand the rules of the game.

"Fifteen points! A total of fifteen points to win!"

Someone understood the rules and quickly explained them to the people around him.

"Four goals left, come on!"

bang bang

Dong dong dong

Sizzle...

The flag rolled up again.

“It’s time to go to work!”

Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch and said to the Taoist priest and Mr. Ye.

"You go first. I don't have anything to do there. Go after you finish listening."

The old Taoist was enjoying the fun, how could he leave?

Mr. Ye also looked serious and had no intention of leaving.

Well, these two people probably won’t leave!
"We won again, it's twelve!"

"Another one, serve and score, great, 13 to 8!"

"come on!"

In less than two minutes, an inspiring voice suddenly came from the radio.

Yang Xiaotao thought that he could wait until the first game was over before starting again.

So Yang Xiaotao waited until half past seven.

"We won, we won."

"Fifteen to eleven, we win!"

“We won the first game!”

"My fellow countrymen, our women's volleyball team won the first game. As long as we keep up the momentum, victory will surely belong to us..."

An exciting voice came from the radio, and the yard suddenly began to boil like a stone hitting the surface of a lake.

"Don't worry, there's still a second round. This is a best of five series."

Yang Xiaotao stood up and explained to everyone, but everyone was happy.

We won against the little guys, even though they are women, but it also shows that our female comrades are stronger than the other side!

bang bang
The drums kept beating.

Yang Xiaotao said hello to Ran Qiuye and Lao Jin. If he didn't leave now, he would be late for work.

After hearing this, several people waved their hands indifferently and chatted with each other about the game that had just happened. It felt like they were experiencing it themselves. Their minds were focused on the next game and they didn't care whether Yang Xiaotao left or not.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless, then he pulled the Taoist priest up and walked out.

If you can't listen by yourself, you have to find someone to accompany you.

But what Yang Xiaotao didn't expect was that after stopping and walking along the way, he finally arrived at Jiubu, and then he heard the voice of the announcer coming from the loudspeaker of Jiubu.

Around the workshop, a group of workers holding tools in their hands were staring at the loudspeaker, as if they could see the game scene through the loudspeaker.

After stopping the car, the old Taoist ran towards the research institute.

Yang Xiaotao knew that this guy was definitely not here for work!

And the people in front of me are probably not here for work.

After walking all the way to the office building, the loud speaker was still calling out numbers, and Yang Xiaotao felt like he was getting used to it.

"Lao Li, you come to work so early!"

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at the office, he saw Li Hongfeng standing in front of the window at the end of the corridor.

As a result, as soon as Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth to say hello, Li Hongfeng immediately reached out to stop him, then stretched his head away, and slapped the wall in annoyance.

"Oh, how could I be so careless? It's 0 to 3, oops!"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless, but when he heard the score of 0 to 3, he was still a little worried.

"Xiao Yang, you're here!"

Li Hongfeng then turned around to look at Yang Xiaotao, then said regretfully, "The opponent changed his style of play at the beginning of the second game. We are behind 0-3. This game is not going to be easy!"

"By the way, what job did you just talk about?"

"Nothing to say, I just said hello."

Yang Xiaotao knew clearly that if he didn't finish today's game, he would have no chance of working.

Even unsatisfactory game results will affect today's efficiency.

'Forget it, just treat it as a holiday.'

Thinking in his mind, Yang Xiaotao walked to the window. He also wanted to know the situation of the game.

"You must win."
