High School Boys Volleyball Finals

"Let us congratulate Ladorian High School for winning this competition!! They defeated all opponents by winning the qualifiers, regular season and finals!

The overall MVP player, Tian Haishu, maintained an average score of over 50% in each game, and reached an astonishing 70% in the fifth game of the final! "

Congratulations to them!"

Captain Tian Hai ! tree, holding trophy in hands, holding medal. He squinted his eyes under the crackling flash and looked around.

The cheers from the audience were so loud that he couldn't even hear what the coach was laughing and saying not far away.

One or two of the teammates' faces were red with excitement, and they kept waving the medals in their hands. Their hair was wet with sweat, and it ran into their eyes without even bothering to wipe them.

"These brats" can't show their excitement so obviously. In this situation, it's obvious that being as calm as me makes you look more like a master!

Tian Haishu grinned widely, not at all what he thought was the "master's demeanor".

Setter Evans sneaked up to his shoulder, "Hey, Ashu, you smile like the uncle from the neighbor's house. He also smiled like this the day his daughter was born. It's so exaggerated."

Tian Haishu immediately stopped smiling, "Hey! Today! Let's go back later and practice more."

"Oh no, you just won the championship, you should have a good rest and celebrate!"

"Rejected, the objection is invalid."

The two continued to fight on the podium. Mouthed.

The teammates on the side watched the show with smiles, and no one stepped forward to stop the farce. In the end, Vincent, the free man in the team, couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop the two.

"Okay, okay, it's still at the award ceremony. The coach is watching you. I won't intercede for you when he gets angry."

Hearing this, the usually intimidating "Goal Devil" Tian Haishu and the coach Evans, who fans call the "calm and wise commander", froze and turned to look at the coaching staff next to the podium.

The coach, who was covered in black gas, grinned.

It's over...

The two of them thought to themselves that they really need to practice more now.

-------------------

Radolan High School Volleyball Club

"Hey, Ashu, I'm going to graduate soon. Are you sure you want to go?" Which team?

They should have sent you an invitation letter."

Vincent, the libero who was stretching just after the practice match, looked up at Tian Haishu, who was drinking water next to him.

Hearing this, the team members next to him raised their ears and glanced over.

"Yes, we are almost sure. My favorite team invited me to be the second team setter.

When their starting setter retires in a year, I will start. But you, why haven't you always been the setter?

"Hey, you haven't thought about it yet, 'Ah, ah, ah, these teams are too weak to be worthy of me.'"

Tian Haishu turned around in shock: "How could I be like that? " Crazy?"

"...What do you think? It's not me who usually pulls the strings."

The captain who considered himself "gentle and gentle" shook his head, "I don't plan to pursue this career path anymore. I won’t consider it for at least three or four years!

” ! ——

"What!!!"

The team members who were stretching, wiping sweat, and drinking water immediately stood up and gathered around.

"I want to be a coach."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw petrified sculptures around him. After half a minute of silence,

"Huh?!!!"

At night.

As soon as Tian Haishu arrived home, he saw his father, who usually had a bad face, sitting on the sofa with black lines on his face. Next to her was her mother, who was smiling gently as usual.

"Xiaoshu is back. Congratulations on winning the championship! Mom is proud of you."

He said and handed over a gift with a smile. "Guess what it is?"

Looking at the unknown spherical object wrapped in gift paper in his hand, Tianhaishu was silent - even with his feet, he knew it was a volleyball, mom.

"Thank you, Mom, I like it very much!" I opened the package and found that it was a customized volleyball from my favorite brand.

Starry-eyed Tianhaishu rushed forward to hug her mother.

Mari Amami smiled and hugged her son, who was as obsessed with volleyball as her husband.

Oh, it's so cute. Exactly the same as when I was a kid.

Tianhai's father, who had been ignored for a long time, turned darker again.

"Xiaoshu, are you serious about what you said today? In the gymnasium."

Looking at his serious father, Tianhaishu sighed - his father knew it so quickly. Ninety-nine percent it was Evans who said it.

After all, we can’t delay it any longer, so we should explain it to our family as soon as possible.

"Yes, Dad. I don't want to join any team to play professional games in the past few years after graduating from high school. It's not that I don't love volleyball anymore..."

How could I not love it? My favorite thing is obviously volleyball.

I love it so much that even if I could live my life over again, I would still play volleyball, just keep playing.

In his previous life, as a setter, he won a starting position in a national team full of talents. He was also considered a well-known player known as "artificial intelligence AI" in the world arena.

If possible, he would like to stay on the court forever.

However, the youth of athletes is very short-lived.

He thought he would have no chance to return to the field after retiring, but after being hired as the team's coach, he once again found his heartbeat on the coaching bench.

Until the age of 35, he became the head coach of the national team and taught world-class players one after another.

Open your eyes again and become a baby. His father, Lucas, is an American and the coach of a well-known American volleyball team. His mother, Mari Tianhai, is Japanese and the chairman of Tianhai Group. She settled in the United States after getting married.

I don't know if it was due to the influence of the baby's body. Before the age of four, Tianhaishu could not control his body very well. At the age of five, I can be considered confused.

After five-year-old Tian Haishu woke up and discovered that he could control his body, he quickly expressed his fanatical love for the volleyball placed at home and showed his super "talent".

After discussing with Tianhai's mother, Tianhai's father decided to support his son's hobby.

Of course, Tianhai’s father laughed so hard that he couldn’t even see it. I showed off to my colleagues for several days.

Tian Haishu, who has been hanging out in various volleyball halls since he was a child, learned from his father and his team members until he was 18 years old. After winning the National High School Volleyball Championship, he made a decision that he wanted to return to his old profession - becoming a coach.

Although playing volleyball is fun, the satisfaction of being taught by a coach is another indescribable joy!

——Tianhaishu

, who came back to his senses, raised his eyes and continued to face his parents:

"Rather, I want to be a volleyball coach and let more children fall in love with volleyball." Under his long eyelashes, his eyes sparkled.

Tianhai's father's serious face softened a lot when he heard that Tianhaishu had not given up playing volleyball, but had changed his direction and continued to love volleyball.

Xiaoshu is still the same as before, his eyes light up when he mentions volleyball. The little dumpling grew up so quickly.

Just -

"You said you want to teach students first and let more children fall in love with volleyball, right?

But American high schools are very strict about coaching certificates. Have you taken the coaching certificate?" Tianhai's father asked with a smile.

"Coach's certificate."

Tian Haishu repeated, with a smile that was exactly the same as his father's but with a hint of collapse.

Totally forgot about it.

·

Even if Tian Haishu studies well, it is impossible to pass the coaching certificate in just one month before graduation.

So, half a month after graduation, Tian Haishu, who had been rejected countless times, stood at the door of Saint-Malo High School and took a deep breath.

try again.

As a result, a student from Saint-Malo High School who had not yet gone on vacation saw a strange man wearing long-sleeved pants, a peaked cap and a mask in the summer, walking aggressively towards the volleyball hall.

"Absolutely, he must be a gangster..."

a passerby student murmured.

Tian Haishu, who didn't know that he was being complained about like this, said there was nothing he could do!

It has obviously been a month since the high school volleyball championship was won, but the popularity has not gone away. Especially for high school students who play volleyball.

A situation often arises in the end.

After negotiating with the school teacher, the other party will praise Tianhai and then say: I'm sorry, the school's procedures are very strict, and

I teach without a license-da baa yo.

Then he was recognized by students from the volleyball club and was taken to play volleyball for a day.

Although the teacher's apology is sincere, although the student's request is sincere, although playing volleyball is very enjoyable.

However, we cannot hide the fact that Tianhaishu did not receive a single student.

In fact, he also saw many good prospects outside the volleyball club, but unfortunately most of them were interested in rugby. In the eyes of most American high school students, football is much more attractive than volleyball.

Just like most of the students who grew up in flower gardens in previous lives liked to play basketball, table tennis, and badminton.

When they returned home in the evening, they saw the dejected Amami Tree. Lucas and Mari looked at each other, feeling helpless.

If Xiaoshu has a coaching certificate, he can recommend him to many teams. I believe even the top teams will welcome him to join. But it takes at least a year to get the coaching certificate, not to mention the experience of leading students in competitions. This year, there is nothing I can do to help.

Zhenli was also helpless. As the chairman of Tianhai Consortium, she has no shortage of money-making abilities.

But Xiaoshu is accepting students instead of being students. Can she still spend money to buy students?

During dinner, looking at the depressed Xiao Shu, Zhenli comforted him: "Xiao Shu, don't be sad. Cheer up, maybe your students are waiting for you somewhere."

Hearing this sentence, Tianhai Shu's eyes burned quickly. A small spark.

"You're right, Mom."

As long as you persist, there will definitely be students who love volleyball!

An idea flashed through Tian Haishu's mind instantly

- "How about going to another country?"

He whispered unconsciously.

That’s right, if the mountain doesn’t come to me, I’ll go find the mountain!

After hearing this, Mari also became excited.

"Okay, okay, there are many high school students in Japan who like volleyball, and the requirements for coaching certificates are not very strict.

I still remember that I was in high school at the time, and our school even entered the national competition."

"Is it true? It's amazing. ! "Tianhaishu has eyes of stars.

"How about going to Miyagi Prefecture, my mother's hometown. It just so happens that there was a house there before, so I don't even have to look for a place to live."

"Okay!"

So before Lucas could react, Tianhai was preparing for the coaching certificate exam. During the year, the matter of "going to Japan to find students who love volleyball" was finalized.
