Chapter 124: A Cataclysmic Start
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Tian Hao looked at Xia Bingyu, opened his mouth, and said, "Old Pei was probably just saying things in anger. Why don't you go find him now and give him a good talking to?"
Xia Bingyu shook her head.
She knew perfectly well whether Pei Zheyan was just saying things out of anger. "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. Since he wants to leave, let him go."
"This won't do!"
Zhang Weiqi immediately spoke up: "Old Pei has been with the team for so long, he knows our players very well, and he also understands our tactics. If he really goes to Shanghai University, what will we do for tomorrow's game?"
Upon hearing this, the Jiangda team members' expressions instantly changed.
Xia Bingyu certainly understood this principle.
However, she couldn't possibly agree to Pei Zheyan's unreasonable demands just for the sake of winning the championship.
"It's okay, we..."
Just as Xia Bingyu was about to speak, she heard a knock on the door.
"Could it be that Old Pei is back?"
Tian Hao was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran over.
However, when he opened the door and saw who it was, he was immediately stunned.
"Why is it you?"
Li Yi had been thinking about how to help Jiangda win the championship, but after spending the whole day in the gymnasium, he couldn't help at all.
That's why he came to find Xia Bingyu that night, wanting to ask her what he could do to help everyone.
"Assistant Teacher Tian!"
Li Yi nodded to Tian Hao, then walked into the house, glancing around. "Huh? Everyone's here."
Xia Bingyu was also surprised to see Li Yi. "Xiao Li, what can I do for you?"
"Sister Xia, I just want to ask, besides helping with medical treatment, what other ways are there to help everyone win the championship?"
Pei Zheyan just left, and now Li Yi has come and helped the coach win another championship!
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and then, recalling what Pei Zheyan had said earlier, their gazes toward Li Yi suddenly became strange.
Li Yi immediately noticed the strange looks in everyone's eyes. "What's wrong? Did I disturb you?"
"It's alright!" Xia Bingyu shook her head. "Xiao Li, you've come at the right time. Pei Zheyan just left, and now we don't have a team doctor here either. Tomorrow's game depends entirely on you!"
Li Yi was taken aback. "What? Dr. Pei is gone?"
"Oh my, Brother Li, you don't know, just now Dr. Pei actually wanted the coach to marry him!"
Of the entire Jiangda team, only Xia Bingyu and Ma Dongmei knew how amazing Li Yi's medical skills were.
Therefore, she had a better impression of Li Yi from the bottom of her heart.
In addition, Ma Dongmei also disapproved of Pei Zheyan's threatening approach to coerce Xia Bingyu.
So she immediately recounted what had just happened.
"How did things get like this?"
After listening, Li Yi finally understood what had happened. "Sister Xia, Dr. Pei just misunderstood. I'll go find him now and explain things clearly."
"No!"
Xia Bingyu shook her head and said coldly, "I just thought about it, and that photo wasn't taken by Pei Zheyan himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me only now. It must be someone from Shanghai University who's behind this."
That's right! Just now Pei Zheyan kept saying he wanted to join Shanghai University, which clearly means he's already found another place.
Upon hearing this, the others also realized what was happening.
Tian Hao immediately said, "Old Xia, since this was done by Shanghai University, we should definitely bring Old Pei back."
Otherwise, if they manage to extract information from Lao Pei and then target us on the field tomorrow, wouldn't we be guaranteed to lose?
Xia Bingyu shook her head again. "It's no use! Now that Cao Xu has made a scene, he certainly won't miss this opportunity."
Instead of wasting more time on Pei Zheyan, we should quickly come up with a new plan.
The competition is tomorrow, how can we possibly come up with a plan now?
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the others sank.
Li Yi hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Seeing everyone's somber expressions, he didn't dare to speak, lest he waste everyone's time.
the next day.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xia Bingyu led the team to set off.
I arrived at the stadium at 8:30 sharp.
"Go Shanghai!"
"Go Shanghai!"
Go Jiangda!
The stadium was already packed with people, and the stands were filled with fans of both teams.
However, as the host city, Shanghai naturally had more fans, accounting for almost 70% of the total.
Less than 20% of the remaining people are fans of Jiangda University.
"Everyone, remember to proceed steadily and surely according to our plan from yesterday, without being influenced by any factors, understand?"
"clear!"
Inside the rest room, the team members warmed up while listening to Xia Bingyu's instructions.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was nine o'clock.
Both players are ready to enter the arena.
As Xia Bingyu and the others emerged from the lounge, they spotted a familiar figure across from them.
"How is that possible? Old Pei really went to Shanghai University?" Tian Hao exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone else also saw Bae Cheol-yeon standing on the opposite side immediately.
Everyone still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that Pei Zheyan had only said some angry words yesterday.
Moreover, no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't go to his competitor's place.
But now, Pei Zheyan actually went to the other side, and the other person even made a throat-slitting gesture towards everyone.
Xia Bingyu's face darkened. "Alright, stop overthinking. As long as we follow yesterday's plan and win today's match, we'll be the champions!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
The players from both sides take the stage.
Then, with the sound of a whistle, the competition officially began.
"Beep~"
Jiangda got the right to serve.
After the middle blocker in the back row kicks off, the ball is passed to the setter in the back row, and then to someone else.
After several feints, it was finally passed to Ma Dongmei.
She leaped high into the air and delivered a powerful, lightning-fast slam.
However, the players from Shanghai University seemed to have anticipated this spike, easily catching the ball and then passing it back and forth.
Finally, he slammed the ball back from a tricky angle.
The Jiangda team members were caught off guard, and the volleyball landed directly on the ground.
"Beep~"
Shanghai University took the first point.
The game continues.
The two sides fought back and forth.
However, it seemed that Shanghai University could anticipate Jiangda's attacks every time, and their defense was airtight. Every attack by the opponent was aimed at the weakest point of Jiangda's defense.
Soon, Shanghai University scored point after point.
Although Li Yi didn't understand volleyball, he could tell that something was wrong on the court.
As the head coach, Xia Bingyu naturally saw things more clearly.
Shanghai University not only had a clear understanding of their own offensive routes, but also knew the weaknesses of each player perfectly.
This is definitely Bae Cheol-yeon's doing!
In just a short while, Shanghai University took a five-point lead.
Xia Bingyu quickly made adjustments, "Old Tian, tell Xiao Liu to get ready. She'll be on the court later. Everyone, focus on defense, and then look for opportunities to attack."
"clear."
But no matter how Jiangda adjusted its strategy, Shanghai University remained undefeated, scoring point after point.
Soon, Shanghai University won the first game with a score of 25 to 9.
