Episode 19 recap: The Newport Team Keeps Winning, While the Tech University Provokes Confrontation
In episode 19, it seems that Xiao Jing Yan and Mo Xi Xi, the two young players, got off to a great start in their beach volleyball match, absolutely thrilled with their performance. Next, they had to face off against the skilled players from the Ocean University. Before the match, Tuling Ling happened to walk by Li Guo Duo, her words subtly encouraging Li Guo Duo to not just stand and watch, but to pursue her dream of getting on the court.
Hearing this, Li Guo Duo felt a surge of determination, secretly vowing that one day she would stand on that competitive court.
At the start of the match, Tuling Ling and Long Ya looked to be cruising effortlessly, almost playing around. Chen Wei Lan watching on the sidelines pondered that this was surely Coach Tian Qing's clever strategy - to first disorient the opposing team.
Sure enough, in the second half the two players transformed, unleashing a ferocious offensive that left Li Guo Duo feeling anxious about Xiao Jing Yan's team's chances of winning.
After the match, Li Guo Duo had a lot on her mind. Discussing with her father Li Da Fu, she brought up Tuling Ling's rapid improvement. Li Da Fu consoled his daughter, reminding her that she too had made great strides in just half a year. Eager to keep advancing, Li Guo Duo and Chen Wei Lan promptly headed to the activity room to meticulously analyze Tuling Ling's match footage, determined to uncover her strategic secrets.
On the way, the two girls encountered an incident, heroically stepping in to help a female student being bullied by Tech University players.
Back in the activity room, they were laser-focused, eyes glued to the screen, afraid to miss even the slightest tactical shift by Tuling Ling. Xiao Jing Yan and Mo Xi Xi's side was also hard at work, the whole team united in analyzing the opponent and preparing thoroughly. However, the two Tech University players, harboring resentment from past grievances, started playing dirty tricks against Li Guo Duo and Chen Wei Lan during the match.
Though Xiao Jing Yan's team still emerged victorious, the situation escalated, with students from Tech University and Newport University coming to blows, even smashing the activity room windows in the chaotic melee.
Luo Xiao Le had hoped to mend relations with Coach Tian Qing, but her attention was entirely consumed dealing with the brawl. As the match secretary, Tian Qing rushed to the scene, urgently working to quell the unrest.
Gao Ge was summoned by the school administration for his involvement, insisting he acted in self-defense, though he was still anxious. The department head promised a fair investigation, but Gao Ge's predicament was still concerning.
At the hospital, Gao Ge tenderly accompanied Chen Wei Lan to check her wrist, his attentiveness infusing the air with warmth. Shao Nian's mother accidentally caught sight of her son growing close to Li Guo Duo, finally understanding why he had been skipping class so often. During a meal, Gao Ge's thoughtful care touched Chen Wei Lan, though it also sparked a small misunderstanding that was both amusing and awkward.
To fully resolve the fighting incident, Chen Wei Lan and Li Guo Duo took the initiative, locating the bullied female student and convincing her to truthfully report to the school. This finally set Gao Ge's mind at ease. Subsequently, the Newport University team once again relied on their brilliant tactics to triumph over the Industrial University, their morale soaring.
This entire series of events not only tested their friendships and unity, but also marked significant growth for each individual on their respective journeys.
