Chapter 446 Entering the Quarterfinals
In the next few days, as more and more teams were eliminated, the attention on the volleyball game increased.
In addition to the family members of the players from various units, there were also many people who went to watch the game just to watch the fun.
Even a few particularly powerful team members have become known to everyone.
I heard that there is a young man in the machinery factory who is very good at playing volleyball and now has a lot of people introducing him to girls.
The same is true for the women's team. Many unmarried female players were spotted by their family members who came to watch the game.
The same is true at Lin Yuzhu's workplace. Dong Lili and another single female colleague have been inquired about by many elderly men and women who have visited them in recent days.
Of course, Lin Yuzhu was asked several times, but when people heard that she was married and had children, no one asked anymore.
Dong Lili's family background was not bad, so she looked down upon these questions and ignored them.
However, because of this, another female colleague was introduced to a blind date with a good family background. The man was also a member of the male team of another unit.
She saw it and thought it was good, so she decided to give it a try.
This can be considered a pleasant surprise, otherwise given her family's financial situation, she would never have been able to find such a good partner.
This made those colleagues in the unit who had had the opportunity to participate before but found excuses to refuse even more envious.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Lin Yuzhu and her team were lucky and didn't encounter any particularly strong teams throughout the competition.
They narrowly won the second game and advanced to the round of 16. In the third game, they met an opponent whose main player had sprained his ankle in the previous game, so they had to replace him with two substitutes. However, these two temporary players obviously did not have good skills and held their team back.
In the end, the Housing Authority defeated them.
In this way, Lin Yuzhu and her team managed to make it into the top 8.
Being able to enter the top 8 also means that each team is quite capable.
Lin Yuzhu and the others were forced to do something before, but now they have mastered it.
Because of the high attention, colleagues at work have changed their mindset. They no longer just want to make up the numbers, but want to win.
So they practiced with all their might during this period, not only during holidays, but even after get off work they would practice for an extra hour before leaving.
The family members also knew about this, and when they heard that they were doing it for volleyball training, they supported them and even told them to practice well and not bring shame to the family.
This made everyone even more nervous and they didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Because of this, they were able to advance to the quarterfinals.
The quarter-finals were approaching, and the Housing Authority's opponent was the women's team from the garment factory that Lin Yuzhu had seen before.
Knowing how powerful they are, the Housing Authority dare not relax for a moment.
There were a lot of spectators on the sidelines of this game. In addition to colleagues' families, there were more people who came to watch the fun, and there were also some reporters and photographers.
Lin Yuzhu was very nervous. She was the first one in their team to serve. There was nothing she could do about it because she had the best serving skills.
At the start of the game, Lin Yuzhu sent the ball out with all her strength. The opponent reacted quickly, received it, and hit it back in two strokes. Lin Yuzhu and her team organized to receive the ball, but made a mistake in receiving the ball and lost a point.
Then the other team served and they received. The two sides went back and forth, it was very intense, and it finally looked like a competition.
The spectators on the sidelines were also very nervous. They shouted every time a point was scored and felt upset when a goal was lost.
In the first round, the Housing Authority lost.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and Lin Yuzhu realized that their rhythm must have been interrupted by the other party's momentum.
In addition, they have never encountered players of higher level in so many competitions, so it is inevitable that they are a little arrogant. Now that they have met someone very strong, they are no longer able to do it and are in chaos.
