men's volleyball

Chapter 107 The training match is over

"Beep!"

While several head coaches were talking on the sidelines, Lin Mu made his fourth serve.

This serve made the players of the provincial team tremble again.

It was a ball with a relatively flat arc and hit the net again, but this time it was unlucky, the ball did not roll over the net, and went directly to the net and made a mistake.

The provincial team took back the right to serve, which finally let them breathe a little bit of relief.

"correct!"

Seeing such a similar scene, Director Lu said again: "Little Lu, did you design the tee shot for this Lin Mu kid?"

"coach?"

Lu Lin reacted very quickly this time, and immediately shook his head, "It's all his thinking. He hopes to develop a special method of serving that can completely mobilize the opponent's defensive formation. There are merits in thinking, but at the moment It's a little less stable."

Lu Lin explained, with a smile on his face involuntarily.

"Ho?"

Coach Li heard the two of them talking, and subconsciously made a sound.

After all, he is a professional coach. When the two talked about it, he understood the meaning after a little thought. He was a little surprised and said, "Little Lu, you mean the kick of the net?"

"Haha! That's right, Xiao Li, arch the net."

Director Lu said with a smile: "From the time when the serve can be blocked to the time when the serve touches the net is not a violation, the serving tactics of volleyball have changed many times. Many coaches and athletes in our country have studied the serve. This kid's The idea is really interesting."

Lu Lin nodded and said: "Currently, his normal serve, power and angle control are not bad, but if it is accurate to those few centimeters, it is not easy to pay attention to arc and angle control."

"The difficulty is definitely not small. This is not a conventional serving tactic. However, it does not have to be hit every time. There is a success rate of [-] to [-]%. It is enough to create enough deterrence for the opponent."

Director Lu obviously has his conclusions, he analyzed and said: "The corner ball he hit before was a transfer, if Xiao Yin and the others remain unchanged, he can still cause damage if he continues to serve that kind of ball.

Xiao Yin and the others have changed. If he has a higher success rate of such a sudden throw to the net, he can give the opponent an impression of his deterrence. It will be a big test for the receiving side..."

"The idea is very good, this child is not bad!"

Director Lu praised again.

"Hehe, Xiao Yin and the others have always played steadily. They have almost never lost against weak teams or teams with similar levels. Don't be overthrown by a bunch of young boys today."

"Coach, it's hard!"

Lu Lin shook his head seriously.

Coach Li on the side also nodded.It's not that he couldn't see that the Pengli team played better than the provincial youth team. In fact, it was really difficult, and some gaps were not so easy to make up.

When a weak team wins a strong team, it is more often a victory in terms of momentum and mentality, because some specific tactics and pertinence disrupt and upset the strong team, which is the key to real victory.

But coach Lu led this provincial team with a really good mentality. Although he can hardly play much passion, the lower limit of the state is really guaranteed.

The situation on the court is also developing as they expected.

First conceded a point, then received a serve and scored a point to equalize, and then, Lin Mu scored three points with three serves.

In the opening game, the Pengli team unexpectedly led the provincial team 4:1.

However, the real gap is reflected in all aspects.

It's not that the provincial team doesn't have a strong server. After Lin Mu missed a serve and sent a point, the provincial team's secondary attacker, Liu Huafeng, also scored two points in the serve game, pulling the score back to the original point in an instant.

Liu Huafeng is like an enhanced version of Li Feng. For such a ball, even with Libero and Lin Mu in the backcourt, he managed to catch a good pass on the third serve.

In terms of serving, it looks evenly matched, but the real test of the gap lies in the process of serving and attacking, receiving and turning to attack, and serving and defending and then turning to attack.

Absolute speed and strength, even if the members of the Pengli team realized it and reacted, they couldn't keep up with it in terms of quality.

In front of the net, the confrontation between offense and blocking, even if the players of the provincial team are half a pace slower, they can still form effective interceptions in front of the net by virtue of their quality advantages.

Needless to say in terms of offense, with their height and jumping advantages, as long as the net players of the Pengli team have a slight mismatch between blocking and defense, they will be seized by the provincial team. Absolute stability firmly controls the progress of the game.

The more the Pengli team played, the more passive they became.

The score was gradually expanded. When Lin Mu entered the second serve, although he scored two points in a row, he could not completely change the fate of the Pengli team that was about to lose.

Fortunately, the Pengli team members are in a good mood, and their mentality can still be stable.

It is not surprising that they will lose. Everyone was mentally prepared for this before the start of the game.

What's more, Lin Mu has been giving them relief and analysis, and they have found some experience from the failures of this confrontation.

It seems like what the captain said, isn't that what they are playing this game for?
However, it is true that such an experience is somewhat uncomfortable.

Hitting super hands, strong fighters go out of bounds, slashes and straight lines penetrate, obviously close at hand, but it is like a world apart.Being beaten like this is really uncomfortable.

The feeling of helplessness, aggrieved and even despair, who can feel better?

Just between feelings and perceptions, happiness and unhappiness, the game entered the final stage.

The score was 18:24, and the provincial team entered the game point with a 6-point lead.

Provincial team's serve.

This round of the Pengli team's position is Zhou Ting at No. 4 in the front row, Han Chen at No. 3, Li Feng at No. 2, Lu Wei at No. 5 in the back row, Lin Mu at No. 6, and No. 1 who just replaced Tang Bin's Wen Xiaoqing.

In the receiving position, Lin Mu and two free agents plus Zhou Ting formed a tight formation.

Even Li Feng withdrew a little later, leaving Han Chen near the net to observe.

It can be said that this round is their most balanced offense and defense and is currently the strongest receiving round.

The provincial team serve is their response.

Jump vigorously.

With a lot of force and fierceness, the support of the provincial team is more inclined to the aggressive support of most women's volleyball teams.

In the previous games, he also assisted the attacker to complete the offensive task many times, but he was a little weaker in defense and passing and receiving.Generally speaking, it is a partial support setter role.

As for serving, in Lin Mu's view, it was even less important.

At least, it is difficult to pose too much threat to the receiving formation of the Pengli team.

The ball is served in the middle, between the 6th position and the 1st position.

Lin Mu didn't know if he was posting this on purpose to find the joint between him and Wen Xiaoqing, or if he wanted to hit him and Han Chen and didn't find it right.

In short, when the ball flew out, Lin Mu made a judgment and had no intention of grabbing the ball at all.

The ball in this position naturally has teammates to solve it.Although their two-free agent formation is not yet smooth and coordinated, such a simple catch and coordination is not a problem at all.

really.

When Lin Mu ran forward, Wen Xiaoqing's roar before receiving the ball came from behind.

During the running, Lin Mu's gaze followed the trajectory of the ball, and then turned behind him.

Wen Xiaoqing received a pass steadily, and the ball flew to the 3rd position.

Han Chen returned to his position, raised his head and adjusted his steps, waiting for the ball to come.

At the same time, the field became active, and the players of the Pengli team ran their tactical routes.

Li Feng's No. 4 position, Zhou Ting's No. 6 position, and Lin Mu's No. 3 position are walking backwards, approaching the [-]-meter line.

In the back row, Lu Wei and Wen Xiaoqing didn't relax because they were the offensive side, they quickly lined up and cooperated to protect the backcourt space.

The ball was getting closer and closer to the third position, and Han Chen was in the take-off position, ready to take off at any time.

In the provincial team's halftime, three front-row players lined up in front of the net, staring intently at the Pengli team's ball and this attack.

"Huh? Haven't danced yet! Is it a bit late? It's not a jumping overhand pass!"

When the ball came, the provincial team members in front of the net quickly made a judgment, although they were a little puzzled why the setter didn't take off and uploaded in the air.But he didn't think too much, and decisively moved closer to the second position.

It is difficult for such a ball to have a second chance to attack. If it is passed on the spot, the flight distance of the ball will have enough time for them to organize a block.This seems to be a good thing.

"Take off? The position is a bit off!? It seems that the high point can't touch the ball!"

When they saw Han Chen take off, the ball had already reached a high point. Judging from the trajectory, it was difficult for Han Chen to touch the ball after he was in the air. The timing was very bad, and they felt more relaxed.

However, suddenly, a figure rushed towards the net. After two strides, it took off only one step later than Han Chen, which gave them a sudden pause in their hearts.

It's that kid!
That child, this is a unique name for Lin Mu by the provincial team members until now.

Lin Mu's serve and Lin Mu's offensive and defensive performance left a deep enough impression on the players of the provincial team. Moreover, these are two of the few teenagers in the Pengli team who can compete with them for the same position in front of the net.

At this moment it was him again, the back row rushing to the front net, almost the second serve first, rising into the air at the same time as the setter.

"not good!"

A member of the provincial team shouted, and immediately turned around and ran towards position 3.

the other side of the net.

After Lin Mu's previous concealed gesture, Han Chen cooperated with him.

Han Chen took off as if he had made a mistake in his judgment and shook his opponent. Lin Mu rushed from behind the 3-meter line to the front of the net and took off only one step later than Han Chen. Notice.

He is in the back row, and he does not have the right to make a second attack, but with such an open timing, there is enough time for him to pass the ball.

up in the air,
Lin Mu's expression was always calm, but his attention was always focused, and he was always paying attention to the opponent's movements, footsteps and position changes in front of the net.

When the ball arrived, he stretched out his hands decisively and pushed the volleyball along the net horizontally with more force.

With almost no arc, the ball flew from in front of Lin Mu to Han Chen's hand.

It's only a distance of two or three meters, and it's there in an instant.

that's nice!

As Han Chenteng waved his arms vigorously in the air, his whole body seemed to tremble slightly.

It's not nervous, but a very comfortable, exciting, and heartfelt pleasure.

He generally doesn't have many chances to catch Lin Mu's second pass, but every time he catches the ball, whether it's a tactical attack or an adjusted attack, he feels this way.

He asked himself that Lin Mu's passing skills were not better than his, but he had to admit that he was better than him in understanding all the players and grasping the timing of passing the ball.

This is a difference in consciousness and physical fitness. For example, Lin Mu's pass to him now fully considers his bullet speed, take-off height, and the limit of the air that can be achieved in the air.

Allow him to properly accumulate momentum when catching the ball and attacking, and then fully exert his strength.

"kill!"

Gathering his strength to the limit, Han Chen let out a roar, and the volleyball was kicked out violently.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

The No. 3 block organized by the provincial team did not hinder at all, and the ball was firmly nailed to the floor of the provincial team's half.

"Haha, amazing!"

"Old Han, are you enjoying yourself!?"

"That is……"

"Hey, Old Han, this time you stole my ball!"

"..."

"These kids are quite noisy, and their morale and mentality are good!"

At the provincial team's halftime, Liu Huafeng moved to Yin Liqiang's side, looked at the group of kids who were almost losing the game but were still very active, and said something with a smile.

Yin Liqiang nodded, and also smiled, "It's true that you have a good mentality, neither arrogant nor impatient, and each round is played rigidly but not lacking in passion, which is much better than that of Shengqing before!"

Thinking of Shengqing, Yin Liqiang couldn't help shaking his head.

As an old player, he doesn't even remember how many games he played. He only needs to watch a few rounds to understand the strength of the players on the court and the corresponding performance.

The provincial youth team was indeed much worse than Pengli's pure amateur team.

"Old Yin, in my opinion, that child is the most effective. Before and after the interludes, more than half of them are stabilized by him!"

"Yeah, it really works a lot!"

As if suddenly remembering, Liu Huafeng suddenly asked: "Captain, do you mean that the coach wants Brother Lu to bring that kid here on purpose? Is this an inspection? Otherwise, an amateur team like Pengli..."

"do not know!"

Yin Liqiang shook his head, "I will know how the coach arranges it later, but it would be a good thing if Brother Lu can come back!"

Yin Liqiang's expression moved, and he couldn't help looking to the sidelines. That figure was once his idol.

In the early days when he joined the team, he was quite different in all aspects. He learned from his old teammates and Lu Lin, and he worked hard to improve himself.

What he hopes is that after he enters his prime, he can join hands with his idol and teammates to create results for the provincial team.

But the result disappointed him. In 92, when he felt that he was finally qualified to shoulder the responsibility alongside Lu Lin, Lu Lin left the provincial team, and after that, some veterans also left the provincial team one after another.

The session that was considered the most powerful completely collapsed.

He used to be a little angry, and because of this, he didn't deliberately think about these old players for several years.

A few years later, when he saw it again, to be honest, he suddenly felt that he was not as angry as he imagined.There are even some inexplicable emotional surges, and even some longing.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the opponent is going to serve, let's finish this round first!"

Yin Liqiang shook his head, put his thoughts back, and said with some self-deprecation: "These young players are really energetic. I'm going to take a rest after this round. I'm old, and this round is really tiring. !hehe!"

"..."

Pengli team halftime,
Lin Mu smiled and greeted everyone to take their positions, then waved to Li Feng, "Old Li, go serve, serve well!"

The score was 19:24, which was still the provincial team's game point.

Li Feng nodded solemnly and walked towards the teeing area.

It's his turn to serve.

Looking at the clear "24" on the simple scoreboard, Li Feng was a little dignified, so serious that he felt a little nervous in his heart.

One point, and one more point to win.

To be honest, he was really not nervous. He never thought about coming back from a five-point deficit.

But the last ball happened to be his serve, so he couldn't help but have some messy thoughts.

Because, today's game gave him a much deeper understanding of his serve.

His strong jump serve has been practiced in the team, including when he played against other teams.

But in the face of these adult professional players of the provincial team, the effect he maintained was not as good as he expected.

I should work more, more, more.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

After the waiting time for serving was over, Li Feng threw the ball up and took off.

To suffer!

Sure enough, this is not what I am good at...

After taking off and hitting the ball, Li Feng was a little annoyed. One of his attempts failed.

His strength does not pose too much threat to the provincial team, and he intends to suppress the hitting line.But he watched helplessly as the ball spun around his own net, and then landed lightly.

Faulty serve goes to the net.

"Beep!"

The referee blows his whistle to signal the provincial team to score, and the game is over.

19: 25.

Li Feng raised his head and closed his eyes tightly.

If there is a gap, if you want to lose, you know it in your heart.

But because of his serve error and lost points, the game ended in this way, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Good idea!"

Lin Mu came up, and he patted Li Feng on the shoulder, bringing Li Feng back to reality.

"Captain, I want to find an angle, but..."

Li Feng shook his head bitterly.

"It's a good idea. What's the point? In fact, all of us need to refine and diversify our serve and attack methods. It's certainly advisable to have a fresh move, but it doesn't prevent us from stocking up on other methods. , it is not easy for the opponent to deliberately target the defense. You can think that it is a good thing. If it is not enough, we will practice. If we really can’t afford it, we have tried it once.

Success and failure are not the only themes.Look at me, I served the ball a few times in this game, and there were quite a few active mistakes! "

Lin Mu smiled and said comfortingly to Li Feng.

Li Feng forced a smile and nodded.

The teammates have all come here, and they are somewhat disappointed and unwilling, but there are not too many ups and downs in their emotions.

Lin Mu was very satisfied. There were many problems that could be seen from the gains and losses of a game.

Some are on hardware, and some are on software. Now that we have realized the shortcomings, the next thing to do is to constantly improve ourselves.

It is a very good thing to have a direction of improvement, and then to improve.

In the continuous improvement, some may be gained, and some may be lost.

It is not surprising that there is enthusiasm, joy, and loss and frustration for the sport they buried their heads in during their teenage years.

But no matter what, this is their growth and experience.
