Chapter 96: Love Variety Show Strategy System (14)

Fu Yichen and the two cameramen were all stunned.

The female team members who crowded around immediately understood the coach's intention—he had spotted a good talent and was preparing to poach her.

Then they absolutely had to cooperate with the coach!

So they happily pulled Xie Yang toward the court: "Come on, Sister Xie, let's play ball together!"

Xie Yang couldn't help but laugh: "I'm filming a show, and besides, I shouldn't delay your training."

"Delay what? The morning training ended long ago, right, Coach?"

Coach Guo: "..."

It wasn't actually over yet, but since the team members were cooperating so well with his poaching, what could he say?

He said vaguely: "It's about time. The rest is free time; play if you want. Lunch is at twelve."

"Yay! Come on, come on! Sister Xie, want to play a round?"

"Sister Xie, have you ever played beach volleyball before?"

Xie Yang nodded and then shook her head: "I've played a few times out of interest, but I've never learned it systematically."

In the Tycoon Plane, she spent money all over the world and owned several small islands; occasionally, when the mood struck, she would go to the islands for vacation—surfing, sailing, beach volleyball, sand baths... what hadn't she played?

"Playing it is enough. The rules are very simple; I'll teach you."

Just like that, Xie Yang was pulled away by the female team members to play beach volleyball.

The men's team on the other side watched and felt restless; before long, they also convinced their own coach to end the morning training early and ran over to play with the women's team.

Fu Yichen stood outside the court, watching the vibrant Xie Yang while playing, and for some reason, his mood suddenly turned a bit sour.

Xie Yang was clearly his date...

Xie Yang played a mixed match with the National Beach Volleyball Team members and played it very heartily.

She retracted her earlier disdain for this body; this body was simply born for beach volleyball.

【Host, don't forget you took the Physical Fitness Potion yesterday.】

The Main System couldn't help but remind her.

She was no natural sports prodigy; it was clearly the result of "doping"!

Xie Yang spiked the ball coming from the other side and answered it in her heart: I know! But having physical fitness alone doesn't necessarily mean having the talent for beach volleyball. Why don't you let a weightlifter try?

【...】

That made so much sense that it was left speechless.

After finishing a round, Xie Yang's fan—the women's team's main attacker Liu Ying—ran over and hugged her:

"You're amazing, Sister Xie! You truly are my idol! You're the first non-professional player to beat the men's team's receivers until they were crushed and had no power to parry! You're the first!"

Xie Yang was embarrassed: "Little sister, aren't you afraid of offending our male compatriots by saying that?"

"Afraid of what! They often mock us too!"

"..."

Coach Guo and the men's team coach stood outside the court, watching the round intently.

Every time they saw Xie Yang hit a spike that the opponent found hard to parry, they would complain with heartbreak:

"Such a good volleyball talent, yet she went to the entertainment industry to record some Love Variety Show; what a waste of natural talent!"

"I heard she's 22 this year, only a year older than Xiaoying. If I had discovered and poached her for training a few years earlier, would I still be this worried?"

The men's team coach also felt quite regretful: Why wasn't she a man? If she were a man, he would have poached her in a heartbeat.

But gender was innate; no matter how regretful, there was nothing to be done.

"Lao Guo, 22 isn't considered old. Look at her explosive power when spiking and her speed when attacking; I always feel there's still potential to be tapped. Look at her after finishing a round, she didn't even break a sweat; her physical fitness is definitely up to par!"

"You think so too? It's just that I don't know if she's willing..."

"Give it a try. I think this young lady quite likes playing ball."

Thus, when Xie Yang finally remembered that Fu Yichen was still waiting for her, politely declined Liu Ying's invitation to dine at the base Canteen, and was preparing to set off for the restaurant with Fu Yichen, she was called over by Coach Guo, who asked if she was willing to come to the National Team for training.

"I see your strength and speed are both fine; the only things that need improvement are your receiving techniques and how to handle some tricky situations..."

Xie Yang blinked: "Do you mean that my qualifications are enough to join the National Team?"

【How is that possible! Is the National Team that easy to join? Thinking too much!】

【But listening to Lao Guo, it seems that's what he means.】

【Lao Guo probably wants to further test Sister Xie's potential? After all, you can't tell much from just one match.】

【One thing to say, that move where Sister Xie jumped to spike the ball was so damn cool; it truly killed me!】

The netizens watching the live stream were still excitedly discussing the mixed beach volleyball match Xie Yang had just played with the National Team.

Some envied that Xie Yang could run into a National Beach Volleyball Team training session while on a date;

Some praised Xie Yang's good stamina, being able to finish a full round with the National Team;

Some were drooling over Xie Yang's figure and her skin that glowed white;

And others...

Only no one took Coach Guo's words seriously.

After all, how could joining the National Team be that easy?

It was nothing more than Coach Guo being eager to cherish talent and wanting to give Xie Yang a few pointers.

However, the next second, Coach Guo's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of many netizens through the live stream—

"Yes! When watching the match just now, Lao Yi and I were saying that, in terms of your explosive power and speed alone, you have already reached the level to play in world-class competitions. It's just that your mastery of the rules isn't proficient enough, and then there's the technique and the cracking of some tricky situations... But it doesn't matter, these can all be made up for and overcome through later training."

"So, are you willing to come?"

【...】

【...】

【……】

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!

Coach Guo is being serious!!!

The netizens finally realized—Coach Guo was truly extending an olive branch to Xie Yang.

A dignified National Team coach, actually extending an olive branch to a female guest on a Love Variety Show, inviting her to join the National Team? Has this world gone fantasy?

Even power-fantasy novels wouldn't dare write it like this, right?

Xie Yang was between laughter and tears: "Coach, you are overestimating me."

Although she enjoyed the thrill of playing beach volleyball, she had never thought about joining the National Team to compete in world-class tournaments! After all, she was still an outsider.

Coach Guo shook his head; when it came to scouting good talent, he was always serious.

"Your physical fitness is truly excellent and very suitable for playing volleyball; will you seriously consider it?"

Fearing that Xie Yang would refuse outright, Coach Guo waved his hand at her:

"Then I won't disturb your filming anymore. Remember to consider my proposal when you go back, Xiao Xie! Right, I'll leave you my phone number; call me whenever you've thought it over."

"……"

Coach Guo left in a hurry after leaving his contact information, as if he feared he might face a heartless rejection from Xie Yang if he stayed a moment longer.

Xie Yang shook her head with a chuckle, and after meeting up with Fu Yichen, they headed to the restaurant together for lunch.

On the way, Fu Yichen glanced at her several times and couldn't help but ask: "Coach Guo is actually right; your explosive power is indeed very strong. Have you trained before?"

Xie Yang shook her head: "How could I have trained? I was just an ordinary student before. My grades in both arts and sciences weren't great. Before the College Entrance Examination, I made a last-minute effort to find a teacher to learn some music theory and build a foundation in dance, and that's how I got into university. If I had known I had the potential to play volleyball, I should have applied to a sports school back then. A miscalculation, a total miscalculation!"
