Encouraged by Shen Anxuan, Chu Lingling and Liu Haoyu gradually relaxed and sat on the benches in the back row of athletes and started chatting with the translators from other countries nearby.
I watched the women's volleyball athletes start to warm up, and then all the substitutes walked onto the court. This final was a match between China and the United States. As the host, the American women's volleyball team definitely had an advantage. At least most of the spectators sitting there were locals. They cheered loudly and held up banners and national flags one after another.
Chu Lingling scratched her ears, a little unconvinced. "No way, what's wrong with these foreigners? Do they have such good voices? The sound is so loud that it hurts my ears."
Liu Haoyu was also a little angry. "That can't be helped. This is their territory. Look at the audience over there, they are all blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners. I don't see many people of Chinese descent."
Although the two teams walked onto the court together, the mood of the American women's volleyball team members was visibly different because of the audience's cheers. They shook hands with their opponents and waved to the audience in the stands.
Shen Anxuan looked at the sisters of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Seeing that they clearly didn't hear the cheers for the Chinese team but still waved enthusiastically to the audience, she didn't know why, but felt very sad.
"Hey, let's stand up and cheer for our sisters, okay?"
The senior sister who was originally in charge of leading the three of them was still very steady. After hearing what Shen Anxuan said, she also became eager to move and raised her hand, "I vote in favor."
Four young men stood beside the athletes' seats. "I say one, two, three, and we shout together."
"good."
"one two three."
"Come on, Chinese women's volleyball team!"
"Come on, Chinese women's volleyball team!"
"Come on, Chinese women's volleyball team!"
The four people shouted very hard, but because the girls' voices were sharper, Liu Haoyu's rough male voice was almost inaudible in the middle. The female volleyball players on the field heard the cheers and waved happily at several people, and even the audience in the stands joined in.
Being able to enter the finals, the strength is naturally self-evident. However, in the previous game, the Chinese women's volleyball team was at a disadvantage against the same opponent and almost failed to qualify.
So when watching the game, Shen Anxuan clenched her hands tightly and chanted the names of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, and various gods. However, because she was far away in a foreign country, she didn't know whether the gods' worship would work.
The first round was very close, with both sides taking turns leading. The fighters were full of energy at first, then weakened, and finally exhausted. Both sides knew the importance of the first round to the final victory, so neither side gave in and neither side controlled anything.
Watching the score between the two sides go from 10 to 8 to 13 to 11, and then slowly become 17 to 16, after 20 minutes, every ball was like a must-win atomic bomb. Shen Anxuan didn't even dare to look directly at the game on the court. He could only cover his eyes and watch through the gaps between his fingers.
After the coach called a timeout for a substitution, Shen Anxuan clutched his chest, his entire face flushed. "Oh my god, I'm so nervous. This first game felt like the fifth."
"Ah, bah, bah, bah, we definitely won't go to the fifth round. We will definitely win in three rounds, we will definitely win in three rounds!"
The coach and assistant coach who were walking in front of them just heard Shen Anxuan's words and laughed, "Thank you for your good words, little girl."
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the Chinese women's volleyball team took the lead and won the first round.
The few people who were originally assigned to act as translators directly took over the work of the logistics team, handing out water and towels attentively, "Sisters, you are great, please sit down and have a rest."
"Keep going, sisters, you are the best."
"That's right, the sisters looked so cool and awesome on the court just now."
Hearing Chu Lingling's praise, Shen Anxuan patted her head in annoyance. From the first game, she felt like she seemed to have forgotten something. Now she finally realized that the camera in her bag was of no use at all!
After a ten-minute break, the second show began. Shen Anxuan took out the camera from her bag. In order to take more photos here, her brother-in-law prepared six boxes of film for her, which could take hundreds of photos.
"Hey, hey, hey, An Xuan, take a picture of the girl in the second position. She jumped up. Oh my god, her spike is so cool."
"And, that sister who passed the ball, wow, she is the shortest of all the sisters, but look, she jumped so high, and oh my god, what a great shot!
Ahhh, the second pass spike, this tactic and reaction, it really fascinates me!"
Shen Anxuan's shutter never stopped. She took pictures of every sister, including the moments of celebrating when they scored, the moments of them passing and dribbling the ball, and the moments when they clenched their fists and shouted to encourage themselves...
Another thrilling moment, another round was won, two rounds in a row, the local audience in the stands were silent, but the place where Shen Anxuan Chu Lingling was was boiling.
For the first time, Shen Anxuan discovered that her roommate Lingling had the potential to be a soprano.
"Wow, the women's volleyball team is the best, the Chinese women's volleyball team is the best!" Chu Lingling burst into tears after shouting, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Shen Anning took the opportunity to press the shutter twice, "What's wrong? We should be happy after winning, why are you crying?"
"Wow, I'm just so happy. That sister just now even injured her hand, but she still insisted on fighting to the end. I'm really happy and a little sad at the same time. I can't help myself."
"Alright, alright, it's okay. The sisters won, and the injured sister is fine. Let's go get them some water."
If they win two rounds in a row, the Chinese women's volleyball team will win the championship of this Olympics in the next round, so the lineup for the third game is very important. Looking at Shen Anxuan and others who had entangled the translator of the American team, the coach and assistant coach all laughed. These students are really smart.
There were teachers from other colleges in the stands who were also paying attention to the situation here. There was really nothing she could do. There were people screaming for support right after the game started, and the soprano in the midfield was screaming in celebration. She couldn't help but pay attention to this side.
The tense third round began. The Chinese team wanted to lock in the victory, and the American team wanted to make a comeback. Both sides were unwilling to give in. This game was the most heart-wrenching. At this point, everyone present felt the charm of competitive sports. At this time, there was no distinction between nationalities or camps. Everyone fighting on the court deserved 100% respect from the audience!
For the first time, Shen Anxuan's camera was directed towards the American team's field, capturing many shocking moments.
Every game has a winner and a loser. I heard the announcement on the radio that the Chinese team won 25 to 23 and became the champion!
The substitute female volleyball players ran onto the court, hugged their teammates, cried, and spun around in circles to celebrate their victory.
“We won!”
"Yes, we won!"
The Chinese team won, the Chinese women's volleyball team won! Gold medal!
