April 30th.
Xudu Municipal People's Stadium, Central Plains Province.
The top 32 players from across the country gathered together, under the leadership of their respective leading teachers, and sat in a small area of the auditorium on the north side.
The national team selection competition is really very "secret." Whether it is the previous preliminary competition or the rematch that will be held today, only participating students and staff are present. Whether they are reporters or spectators, everyone is turned away.
The top 32 players, plus their respective leading teachers, totaled no more than fifty people, and with dozens of on-site staff, the huge stadium seemed particularly empty.
But it is this deserted small-scale competition that will soon determine the 10-man national team roster.
Today is the first round of the top 16, with a total of 16 games.
The format and rules are ridiculously simple, exactly the same as the World Cup individual competition: knockout.
Win or lose is decided in one game, the winner is promoted and the loser is eliminated.
It's simple and even a little cruel. If nothing goes wrong, after the two rounds of knockout rounds, the top eight will be determined. These eight players will represent China in the World Cup.
However, it is said that there are also two substitute places. Those players who fail to directly enter the top eight will still have the opportunity to compete for the remaining two places. Although they are substitutes, they are also in the ten-man national team roster.
Putting aside these, aside from the idea of being a substitute, Jiang Xiao is only two games away from becoming an official national player.
With two more wins, Jiang Xiao will be one step closer to his ultimate goal!
In the audience, Hou Mingming sat next to Jiang Xiao, lightly bumped Jiang Xiao's shoulder with his shoulder, and said: "I heard that you participated in an exclusive interview yesterday, and it was an exclusive interview by Yang Ma and an exclusive interview by the host Ye Xunyang. .”
Jiang Xiao's eyes were fixed on the green lawn, or on a 6-year-old child to be exact.
This child is probably the only spectator in this competition, and he also plays an extremely important role. The top 32 students from both sides will be drawn out of the small box by this child.
Jiang Xiao didn't know the origin of this child. Was he the son of some important family
Or maybe children just symbolize innocence and hope
After hearing Hou Mingming's question, Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Well, yes, she interviewed me for two hours and finally told me that she would only cut out 20 minutes."
When Hou Mingming heard this, there was a hint of appreciation in his words: "Ye Xunyang is a leader among the new generation of female hosts. Her "People" interview is not something that ordinary people can get."
"Oh." Jiang Xiao said casually, "I don't watch much TV, but I do know her. She once hosted my national competition. I didn't know she was developing so well."
Beside Jiang Xiao, to Jiang Xiao's left, Zhao Wenlong said: "She is the first of the four little beauties promoted by CCTV. She will be featured in all major competitions in the future. Maybe she will be the leading beauties in the future."
Yo
Is the door clear
Jiang Xiao forgot that he didn't watch TV, but Master Zhao next to him was a loyal fan of TV.
Zhao Wenlong looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile and said, "You haven't realized the value of this "People" interview. No matter what your achievements are, this interview is enough to get you into thousands of households."
Jiang Xiao curled his lips: "Why go into thousands of households? I don't want to be a star."
Unexpectedly, Hou Mingming seemed to be particularly interested in Jiang Xiao and asked, "Did she say when it will be broadcast?"
"Uh" Jiang Xiao scratched his head, "Whether it will be broadcast or not depends on my performance. She said, if I make it to the national team, it will be broadcast. If I don't, it won't be broadcast."
Later it became clear: "."
Zhao Wenlong: "."
Is it so real
Jiang Xiao said weakly: "When I heard this sentence, my reaction was exactly the same as yours now. She laughed very happily. She was probably joking, she didn't reveal too much."
"No. 07." The host's voice suddenly came from the microphone.
In the green field, I saw a six-year-old child standing in front of a glass display box. His little hands were messing around with the table tennis balls in the transparent glass box, and he caught another ball.
The staff member half-knelt beside the child, took the table tennis ball, twisted it open, and said to the audience in front of him: "No. 81."
"Oh! The King of Soldiers in Southern Hunan versus the King of Southwest!"
"Wow, is it so exciting?"
"The first game was so exciting? These two should be qualified to be included in the ten-man roster, right?"
"Haha, there's no need to belittle yourself. Who among you here doesn't have the ability to make the roster?"
"I like to hear that."
"That's right."
In Jiang Xiao's sight, he saw two tall figures. At the call of the staff, they stood up and raised their hands to indicate that there was no problem and they could compete.
Of course, you'd better be fine
This world is full of magical star power and star skills, so colds, fevers, diarrhea and diarrhea can all be relieved and cured. This is no reason or excuse. If you simply refuse to compete or have personal matters, you may be kicked out directly.
Jiang Xiao also saw the familiar figure No. 81, the Southwest Singles King—Xing Yan!
This two-meter-tall bald man earned his nickname by wielding a huge ax in his hand. He is also known as the "God of Punishment" among the people.
The tall and muscular body, the knotted muscles, the fierce temperament, and the beast-like eyes. Just by looking at it, it seems that you can see the overflowing male hormones.
real man! real man!
No one has any doubts about his strength. In fact, in the online voting activity, Xing Yan firmly occupied a seat in the national team, and even ranked among the top three.
The staff's voice continued: "No. 59!"
The child was obviously very smart. This time he grabbed the ball and instead of handing it to the staff, he twisted it open himself with a smile.
"Wow!"
"Woohoo~"
"Lottery draw!" A buzzing discussion suddenly started. There was really a group of people who were watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble. When No. 59 came out, it was obviously a bigger shock than the one caused by the God of Punishment just now.
because
Zhao Wenlong beside Jiang Xiao stood up and raised his right fist high.
The master of duel from the imperial capital Xingwu!
A well-deserved seed player in the eyes of the world!
"No. 08!" the staff shouted again.
"Fuck!"
"Wow!"
As soon as No. 8 came out, the audience was completely shocked. It was another soldier king from the Shonan Military Academy!
What kind of hands does this kid have? Hit two Shonan Soldier Kings in a row
You know, in the World Cup individual competition, the one that achieved the most success was the Shonan Military Academy, which produced two World Cup champions! And the Shonan Military Academy is also the most powerful among the powerful. There is a soldier king in every ten-man roster. As a result, the Imperial City Hoshiwu and the Shonan Military Academy met in the first round of the top 32
When two tigers meet, only one of them can survive.
It's brutal but exciting!
In the auditorium nearby, a young man wearing green camouflage stood up and raised his right hand to show that he had no objection.
The child obviously liked the feeling of being noticed. The more he pumped, the happier he became. His little hand quickly grabbed another ball and twisted it open.
Staff: "No. 09!"
Everyone: "."
It’s Shonan Military Academy again!
She is also the only female soldier in the trio, Zhu Fengyu!
In front of the auditorium, next to the young man in camouflage military uniform, a petite figure stood up and shouted loudly: "You should stir up the ball!"
It seems to have nothing to do with whether to stir up trouble or not? There was a lot of chaos at the beginning. There seemed to be no pattern in the transparent glass box filled with table tennis balls
In the dark, there is God's will.
The child pouted and reached in with his little arms, messing around with the ping pong balls, and finally grabbed one at random.
Staff: "No. 57."
"Haha, the regiment is wiped out! We are about to witness the Shonan Military Academy being wiped out by the regiment in the first round! Are we afraid that we will witness history? Haha!"
"Why is the group destroyed? No. 57 is not Hou Mingming, it is Jiang Xiaopi!"
"Well, it's not bad. At least the Shonan Military Academy can ensure that one of them will enter the top 16."
"Haha, you thought Jiang Xiaopi was weak? Are you afraid that you have forgotten who brought you into the top 32?"
"If it weren't for Jiang Xiaopi, at least half of the people in this scene would have gone home."
"That's true, but if you were allowed to choose your opponent, who would you choose? I'm afraid more than half of the people would choose Jiang Xiaopi."
"."
Jiang Xiao stood up, raised his right hand, and looked at Zhu Fengyu.
This short-haired girl is the little spider crawling around on the wall. Although she was petite, she looked quite sweet and had the same beautiful abdominal muscles as Xia Yan, which left a deep impression on Jiang Xiao.
Four years of military school career did not seem to change Zhu Fengyu's naughty character. Her small hands were shaped like loudspeakers. She turned to Jiang Xiao and shouted: "Little poisonous girl, please don't get angry. You have to be gentle."
Be gentle
To women
Haha, is that my character
Which bathhouse is Lianxiangxiyu? never heard of that
Jiang Xiao looked at her beautiful face with a hint of ridicule and said, "I like strong force, strong force can produce miracles!"
Zhu Fengyu: "."
Jiang Xiao: "You should try harder. It won't feel like it's too light."
Zhu Fengyu:? ?
Damn it
Is this kid testing something
