[School Games-10]
The next day, after breakfast, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce went to the library shopping mall together and bought two pairs of badminton rackets. Since the gymnastics and cycling competitions were scheduled from 8 to 10 in the morning, the two did not apply for these events, so they could seize the time to practice their badminton doubles cooperation.
To practice doubles, you have to find two opponents as sparring partners. Yue Xingwen glanced at the registration form sent by Ke Shaobin to his teammates, and asked on the research group channel: "Brother Liu, Brother Zhuo, you all signed up for the badminton singles competition, right?"
Liu Zhaoqing said, "That's right."
Zhuo Feng said, "Does Xingwen want to go to the training room to practice ball?"
Yue Xing Wendao: "I just went to the shopping mall to buy a racket for the doubles with Pingce News. If the two brothers are free, let's practice together, just to find out how to feel."
Ke Shaobin said positively: "Can I come to watch? Take pictures for you!"
Yue Xingwen: "Welcome to the onlookers."
As a result... the whole team came to watch.
Everyone opened a training room. Yue Xingwen drew four lines in the training room according to the size of the badminton court. Liu Zhaoqing made a ball net with gauze and stood in the middle of the court.
Ke Shaobin asked Xiaotu to be the referee beside the net.
Yue Xingwen moved his muscles and bones, picked up the badminton racket, and said, "Look for the feel, 2V2."
Liu Zhaoqing joked: "2V2? Our two super soldiers will definitely not be able to beat the two bosses. Jiang Pingce's coordinate system will make the balls we send in the past go out of bounds every time, and then we won't get 1 point!"
Jiang Pingce looked calm, as if the person Brother Liu said had nothing to do with him.
Zhuo Feng suggested: "Can you two stop using your skills? Let's just play a game?"
Yue Xingwen readily agreed: "No problem. Pingce's coordinate system also has a cooling time, and it is impossible to use it from the beginning to the end. Let's practice cooperation without using skills first. The two brothers are also looking for the feel of playing."
Liu Zhaoqing made an OK gesture, looked at Zhuo Feng, and said with a smile, "If you don't need skills, I think we both have a chance to win!" He has been playing badminton for several years and is very confident in his skills.
Zhuo Feng was also confident: "Come on! You serve first."
Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce, Jiang Pingce leaned into Yue Xingwen's ear and said a few words, but no one heard what he was saying, only Yue Xingwen smiled and nodded, and then the two One after the other, staggered on the court, Yue Xingwen was in front, Jiang Pingce was behind, and Yue Xingwen served first.
Yue Xingwen's playing posture was very standard, and he made a forehand road ball.
The ball landed far away, almost to the sideline on the opposite court. Liu Zhaoqing quickly stepped back to catch the ball. Because the landing point was too far, Liu Zhaoqing received the ball with great strength, and the hit ball flew high in the sky.
The moment the ball crossed the net, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce quickly switched positions. Jiang Pingce rushed forward with a stride, jumped up suddenly, stretched out his long arms, and completed a crisp shot with the racket in the air. A neat smash—
boom! The sound of badminton and racket touching is crisp and pleasant.
This sudden slash slash, the angle is too tricky, Zhuo Feng wants to catch the ball is too late!
The ball landed almost instantly, and Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce scored 1 point.
Ke Shaobin patted Xiaotu's forehead and asked Xiaotu to score, and Xiaotu's mechanical voice sounded: "Red team, 1 point."
Liu Zhaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is it so fierce at the beginning?"
Zhuo Feng looked back at him and said, "The two juniors are serious, so let's be more serious as sparring partners."
Liu Zhaoqing: "That's a must!"
In the next practice, all four of them got serious and played back and forth.
However, while playing, Liu Zhaoqing unexpectedly discovered that the score on Xiaotu's forehead actually opened wider and wider.
In the first game, it was Jiang Pingce's turn to serve.
Jiang Pingce's ball landed near Zhuo Feng in the front court, with a low angle and closer to the net. If you want to catch this kind of ball, you must pick it up with the racket, otherwise it will fail the net. The result of picking up is that the badminton flew high in the sky, Yue Xingwen immediately stepped forward, took off near the net, and smashed the opponent directly in the middle!
Thumbnail: "The first game, 21:15, the red team wins!"
Zhuo Feng and Liu Zhaoqing looked at each other.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce smiled at each other, and gave each other encouragement with a light high-five.
Teammates watching next to the game: "..."
Is it really their first time together? Not a tacit partner who has practiced for a long time
Liu Zhaoqing couldn't help but complain: "Do you two often play together in private? This tacit understanding is amazing!"
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "No, it's the first time we both cooperated today."
Liu Zhaoqing: "..."
Teammates: "??"
This is called the first cooperation? The two of you are about to work together perfectly, okay
The two staggered positions on the court, one in front, one behind, one left and one right. In the process of running fast, they never collided with each other, and there was no oolong situation where the two rushed to catch the same ball. .
There seems to be a strange "heart-to-heart" tacit understanding between them.
Yue Xingwen knew what Jiang Pingce would do next moment, and Jiang Pingce also knew where Yue Xingwen was on the court. Yue Xingwen felt that Jiang Pingce would pick up the ball, but the result was that Jiang Pingce would really pick it up. And Jiang Pingce thinks that Yue Xingwen can handle the ball, and he will not interfere. Sometimes it's just a gesture, most of the time it's just a look.
They always trust each other and understand each other, which is also the key reason why their single-player skills are not better than Liu Zhaoqing and Zhuo Feng, but they can beat the other team in doubles.
Zhuo Feng asked suspiciously, "I haven't seen you two play before, when did you learn?"
Yue Xingwen said: "Pingce used to play, so he should have learned it from his father. I only learned it in my freshman year. Brother, you don't know, I signed up for the badminton class as an elective in my freshman year."
Jiang Pingce glanced at Yue Xingwen somewhat unexpectedly, opened his mouth, and hesitated.
Yue Xingwen gave him a smile.
The second game started soon.
In this round, Zhuo Feng suggested to use his skills, but Jiang Pingce didn't show any courtesy to them.
Zhuo Feng's skill "gravity" can make the ball fall to the ground instantly, Jiang Pingce's coordinate system parabola can control the ball's landing point, the two sides have exchanges, the score is tied from 3:3 to 17:17, very close.
Yue Xingwen found that the effect of gravity, the formula of the mathematics department will be difficult to control. After all, it takes time to write the formula, but gravity acts instantly to make the ball fall directly, and the landing speed is extremely fast, it is difficult to use a racket to catch it.
In response to the gravity of Senior Brother Zhuo alone, they can still draw a tie. But in the next doubles match, if they meet the "two physics department" partners, it will be very difficult.
In this game, the two lost to their opponents 19:21.
Yue Xingwen summed up his experience and whispered in Jiang Pingce's ear: "If the opponent is two physics departments, and they use gravity skills in turn to make the ball fall instantly, we can't catch the ball at all, how can we restrain?"
Jiang Pingce frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Change the movement curve of the ball and let the ball fall on their side."
Yue Xingwen's eyes lit up: "Good way!"
The badminton is flying in the air, and the premise of the physics department's gravity landing is that the ball flies through the net and comes to the half of Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce.
But if Jiang Pingce changed its trajectory at the moment when the ball flew into the air, so that the parabola landed in the opponent's half, and the opponent let the ball land, it would become "hit the ball but the net" and instead lose it. point.
Jiang Pingce added: "When the opponent serves, I change the trajectory of the ball so that they can't serve the net. Gravity is useless. When it's our turn to serve, the speed must be fast, so that the opponent can't react."
Gravity skills also need to be controlled. If they serve the ball with lightning, they will send the ball in an instant, and the opponent will be too late to use the skills. Of course, if the opponent also uses this method, Jiang Pingce may be too late to write the formula. At that time, it will depend on who can serve more accurately, or the strength of playing hard.
The two gathered together to discuss for a moment, then smiled at each other, gave a high five, and started the third game.
Liu Zhaoqing and Zhuo Feng realized what it means to cry without tears.
Of the 10 balls they served, 5 out of 10 were rerouted by Jiang Pingce, and they never hit the net. Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen served the ball as fast as lightning. Often Zhuo Feng had not had time to release his skills before the ball came over and he had to run to catch it.
After Zhuo Feng found out that the opponent was using the quick attack method, he also started to attack quickly, but the result of the two sides fighting together for speed was that neither of them could release their skills, and they could only rely on hard power to catch the ball. Really not as good as Jiang Yue combination.
At 21:13 in the third game, Yuexing Wenjiang Pingce won.
Zhuo Feng sat next to him, panting and saying, "You two have such a high degree of tacit understanding, coupled with Pingce's ability to control the ball, badminton doubles, you will definitely get a medal back."
Yue Xingwen humbly said: "If we encounter a control flow team, such as the law school locking us up in prison, the music school hypnotizing us, and the normal university duo playing ball and giving us a lecture, it will be difficult for us to play. "
Jiang Pingce said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you win the award or not, just do your best."
Liu Zhaoqing said: "However, there must be a lot of people signing up for this popular event like badminton. If the duo wants to get out of the preliminaries, it's not enough to just use their abilities. Their own strength and tacit understanding should be enough. After all, there are abilities. Cooling time, you used it in the first round, and you can’t continue to use it in the second round. Therefore, I am quite optimistic about the two of you. You two are very strong and tacit understanding. Unless you meet a team that specializes in badminton in the sports school The team I think is fine.”
Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said with a smile, "When we meet a team of average strength, we will fight as usual, and we will use our skills when we encounter tough bones."
Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement.
After coming out of the training room, the two returned to the dormitory to put down their rackets and rest for a while.
Yue Xingwen picked up the towel and wiped his sweat, and said, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Jiang Pingce really asked in a low voice, "Since we have known each other, we have often gone to the library together, but we have never played golf together. When Brother Zhuo asked just now, how did you know that I could play badminton or learn from my father?"
Yue Xingwen paused and smiled, "This matter is a long story."
Jiang Pingce turned to sit beside him and whispered, "Speak."
Yue Xingwen said calmly: "In high school, our school's honor roll was tied for the first place every time. But in the third year of high school, there was a monthly exam ranking, and the top ten of the science class didn't have your name. I I thought that your grades could not suddenly drop so badly, so I went to inquire out of curiosity and found out that you were ill and didn't take the test."
"When school was over the next day, I passed by your house and saw you and your dad playing ball in the yard. Your dad said while playing, 'You should pay attention to exercise at a young age, exercise more, and don't just do problems all day long'... "
Thinking of that scene, Yue Xingwen couldn't help but chuckle: "You put on a face all day at school that no one is allowed to enter, but I didn't expect your dad to be a talker, nagging so much in your ear, You are not annoying, and you continue to practice with him. I found that you are very gentle with your family, and you are completely different from you in front of your classmates. "
Jiang Pingce was silent for a moment, suddenly raised his lips slightly, and asked, "If I remember correctly, your house is two streets away from mine, and your house is closer to the school. You can't drop by my house after school, right? ? It's going to be a big circle."
Yue Xingwen: "… "
Jiang Pingce's ability to grasp the key is really strong, and it is impossible to fool him.
Yue Xingwen was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and his cheeks were slightly hot: "Okay, it's not by the way, I just heard that you were sick and didn't take the exam. I was worried that you were very ill, so I went to your house to take a look."
It turns out that Xingwen is also watching him silently? Because he was ill, he went to visit him on purpose
Jiang Pingce thought of the picture of Xingwen wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag walking past his door, his heart suddenly softened, his eyes looking at Yue Xingwen were extraordinarily soft, and his voice was very low: "Sneak to my house, Why didn't you tell me?"
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "At that time, we were just alumni, not even friends. If I suddenly broke into your house, it would be too strange? I can rest assured that you can still play with your father when you are cured. Now. Pretend to pass by, you don't find me the best!"
Jiang Pingce: "..."
Seeing his frank smile, Jiang Pingce's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "When you enrolled in the badminton class as an elective in your freshman year, it wasn't because of me, was it?"
Why not learn table tennis, basketball, volleyball, but badminton is the only ball sport that Jiang Pingce knows
coincide? He doesn't believe it.
Yue Xingwen said frankly: "Of course! Because you can play badminton, I also want to go to school, so that we have one more common hobby. Unfortunately, badminton is an elective course that is too difficult to take in freshman year. Well, I only got it in my second year of sophomore year, and I just finished learning it not long ago, but I didn't expect it to be used this time."
Yue Xingwen raised his head and met Jiang Pingce's gentle eyes.
His ears suddenly became hot. He thought it was nothing at first, but when Jiang Pingce looked at him so tenderly, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I'm not all for you, I passed the badminton elective exam well, and I can also exercise by the way..."
Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand and gently embraced Yue Xingwen's shoulder: "No need to explain, I understand."
Yue Xingwen: "… "
I don't understand myself, how do you understand? !
Looking at Yue Xingwen's doubtful eyes, Jiang Pingce suddenly felt good.
Originally, he thought that Xingwen was the treasure he had hidden in his heart. This pure love since he was young was the most precious and most important emotion in his life. Relationship.
But now it seems that Xingwen actually keeps him in his heart and cherishes it.
I would secretly care about him, and "pretend to pass by" to see him because he was sick; I joined the student union in my freshman year and insisted on pulling him with me; I went to take elective courses of badminton for him in my second year, just to have a common interest with him.
Their care and concern for each other is not one-sided - it is two-way.
There is nothing more satisfying than "paying and getting a response".
