men's volleyball

Chapter 117 Sustenance and Hope

"This boy Lin, he can jump really high! He really dares to fight!"

On the side of the court, on the side outside the guardrail of the court, as far as Coach Li could see, Coach Lu was standing alone. At this moment, his expression moved slightly, and he murmured.

After the training match started, no matter whether the players played well or badly, he always watched quietly, so that people didn't feel much sense of presence.

Before the start, he told his coaches that he was only a spectator today, and he did the same.

After watching the balls one by one, he put himself in the perspective of a bystander, observing the players, including the performance of the coaches.

At the same time, he is sorting out some of the team's tactical use and possible changes in the future through some performances in the training game.

Until Xiao Jiang's temporary adjustment, he still didn't go over, didn't make a sound, just watched.

The overall performance was both expected and unexpected, especially after adjusting the lineup, Yin Liqiang led the team to play these three rounds. As a senior coach, he can certainly see many things.

Xiao Yin was released, or in other words, the idea of ​​letting Xiao Yin and others give full play to make the team play more reasonable, more harmonious, more coordinated offensive and defensive, and increase the team's offensive and defensive upper limit that they had discussed had a real idea. opportunity for implementation.

The reason is actually very simple. In the final analysis, it is still the players.

Excellent people are needed. In their current team, what they need in particular is a setter who can play strong offense, pass the ball, and also defend and respond.

These children have been raised well, especially the children brought by Xiao Lu. In a few months, their performance has really improved a lot from what he remembered before.

Back then, many sports people said a word, including him, that players are not born to be able to play, and what they are born with is just made up for by practicing diligently.As long as you don't give up and work hard enough, nothing is impossible.

A lot of kids in the game right now really validate what they say.

However, in fact, they know that the mysterious word "talent" is sometimes very real.

Working 10 times harder is not as good as other people's casual practice, or even better than you. This is the talent of some people. To use a common saying, they are born to play.

If coupled with the hard work and hard work that is not inferior to ordinary people, the result can be imagined.

Like Lu Lin in the past, and Xiao Lin now.

Bold, strong decisiveness, good mentality, strong physical fitness and basic technical skills.

There are reasons coaches have carefully taught, but there is no denying that there are some things.

The ball just now fully demonstrated these.

The men's volleyball team has always played fast and fiercely. At the beginning of the game, or in games with many higher-tier players, few kids dared to come up and hit such a probe ball.Moreover, it may not be able to play well!
Dare to jump, jump high, hit more accurately!

Quality and technology, decision and play!
Director Lu smiled happily as he watched the two-party match that was more passionate than before.

Hehe, look at what you guys are going to do next, you have to have a good talk with Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lu later!

As for how to talk, he has already sorted out his thoughts.

Tactics, techniques, players, there are many things.

What is more important is the players. As for whether they are supporting or leading, or even the core, in his opinion, it is not that important.

You can go if you can. If you can really become the backbone and the core, he will not force any seniority ranking. The volleyball in Huizhou has long since lost the qualification to follow the steps and rank seniority.

It depends on whether you can make it up.

Maybe this time, I, Lao Lu, should make a provocation, and the old man will protect you from the wind and rain for a while.Xiao Lu, Xiao Jiang, and these children, just hope they don't disappoint me.

"Uh!"

Director Lu was thinking about what to do next, when suddenly a sharp pain hit him again, which made him groan.

He took a few steps back slowly, and then "relaxed" on the chair as if nothing happened.

His face remained motionless, he raised his left hand as if inadvertently, and gently stroked his chest and abdomen.

People who are far away have no way of noticing that he still looks so calm and natural.

However, as long as you get closer, you can see that the corners of his mouth are slightly twitching, and beads of sweat are constantly gushing out from the temples on his forehead.

After a long time, he raised his right hand, gently wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and his front sleeve, and exhaled slowly,
in the arena,

Twelve players are working hard for this special and interesting game.

The coaches on the sidelines occasionally changed the lineup partially according to the situation on the field. The players went up and down, and the substitutions were not as rigorous as in normal official games.

There were a lot of people who changed, and more of them were Liu Huafeng's second team.

On the side of Yin Liqiang and Lin Mu of the first team, after the first few balls, except for the natural rotation of the free agents Wei Xiao and Li Feng, the players in the other positions have hardly moved.

The coaches could see clearly that the first team gradually found a sense of cooperation from the first few balls at the beginning of the second game.

To say that the coordination of the first few balls was a bit rough, mostly relying on the individual quality of the players and simple coordination to achieve tactical effects, so up to now, it has already been considered decent.

Playing more and more efficiently, the two people who are in charge of the organization can be regarded as the lineup composed of three old and three new, really bringing shape.

Of course, some running and coordination problems must exist, after all, there is no tacit understanding of long-term training.

But it is undeniable that the existence of two excellent organizers is important in the team.

A little bit to test the limits and technical habits of the players, thus reaching a relatively stable cooperation mode.

They also hope to continue to see the first team finish the next game with a relatively complete formation.

The first team played better and better. Several players, including Yin Liqiang, felt the ease of playing.

Especially Yin Liqiang, he felt the freedom and relaxation on the court, just like a certain period of time.

Of course, there is still a lot of gap compared to the period in memory, but it is already very good, at least, he hasn't had this feeling of playing freely for a long time.

It can become even better. In Yin Liqiang's heart, the expectations for the future are no longer as high as they used to be.

He only hopes that at the very end of his peak, he can add a little memory to his entire career that is worth remembering from time to time in the future.

This memory should be beautiful, and it should be able to bring back some of the passion of his youth every time.

I hope I can still make it in time!
Yin Liqiang's thoughts cannot represent all the players of the provincial team, but like him, there are many people who think the same as him, or even more than he thinks.

Young, still energetic, always think a little more.

Including the captain of the second team at the moment, Liu Huafeng was thinking a lot.

He was beaten by Lao Yin, and the situation of the game has been suppressed more and more fiercely. The situation of being evenly matched or even slightly prevailing in the previous round has long since ceased to exist.

The coaches changed a lot of players for them, from the provincial team, the youth team, the Pengli team, and even a few provincial team players on the opposite bench.

The players have changed a lot, which can enhance their strength. The coaches have been thinking about it, and he has participated in it once.Take the initiative to propose whoever goes up and who goes down.

He understood what the coaches meant. They wanted to make them stronger and make the confrontation between the two teams stronger. The purpose was probably to test the real strengths and weaknesses of Lao Yin's current lineup.

Invisibly, they seemed to be the training partners of Lao Yin and those children.He didn't care about these things, but the fact is that they were suppressed quite ruthlessly.

Scoring is not too difficult, with him here, and that boy Han, who is quite sober. Although he is not as good as Boy Lin, he can also play well with him.

But in the final analysis, a game with a point-per-ball system cannot prevent the opponent's return and attack, and the team will be extremely passive.

He has the feeling that they score, they serve again, and the opponent simply catches and scores.On the side of Lao Yin and Lin Xiaozi, it was too easy to attack each time.

Every time he receives the serve and makes an attack, as long as the passing rate is good, he has the feeling that the field is full of offensive points, and each offensive point may hit the ball at any time.

Dazzling him, he didn't know how to make defensive decisions. He felt this way, let alone others.

However, his mentality is stable, and he has been working hard to maintain and coordinate the entire team.

But it didn't turn out well.

"beep~"

The referee's whistle sounded and the first team scored again.

Another repeating story, the second team played a good shot and scored a point in exchange for serve. After the serve, Lin Mu in the back row of the opponent inserted a second pass, and the three offensive points in the front row spread out. Two points immediately stretched their defense.

Although a decent defensive block was organized in the end, the ball was still killed.

Liu Huafeng encouraged his teammates one by one. At this moment, he did not have the "irritability" at the beginning of the game. He often comforted and encouraged them. While letting his teammates breathe a sigh of relief, he was even a little flattered.

Liu Huafeng didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise he would definitely scold them again, it was just a training match, what was it worth.

Does Old Liu care so much about winning or losing?Moreover, don't you see the current situation of the two teams?Is it right to be happy?

"Xiao Han, keep going! Don't stress, you've played well!"

Just now, the last touch of the ball was Han Chen's. The front row was blocked by two people, but Lao Yin, who was acting as the attacker, completely killed him. When he hit the back row, Han Chen touched the ball, but couldn't catch it.

Because Han Chen was the last to touch the ball, Liu Huafeng put Han Chen last among the people he encouraged.

Han Chen moved his aching legs, and replied naturally, "Brother Liu, I'm not under any pressure, and it's been great!"

"Ha ha!"

Liu Huafeng looked at Han Chen seriously, then smiled softly.

It seems that there is not much pressure, and there seems to be some excitement-like restlessness. These children are really in a good mood.

In front of coaches, it should be said, in front of coaches who can decide many things about them, it is really not easy to maintain such a mentality.

He didn’t have this kind of mentality before. He still remembers that when he was in his teens, when he first met Lu’s coach on the youth team to watch their performance. At that time, he was so nervous that he would not be able to play. up.

After two rounds, the game became more stable, but I still only wanted to perform better, but things backfired.

He was sure that his performance that time was very bad, and after that, he had one or two chances, but he didn't perform well.

Later, he went around for several years before entering the provincial team. It is undeniable that there are reasons for his previous performance.

With a smile, Liu Huafeng patted Han Chen's shoulder heavily, and encouraged him, "Xiao Han, play well, and when you enter the provincial team in the future, you must still maintain this mentality..."

"Uh! I'm in the provincial team?"

Han Chen couldn't help being a little taken aback.

"Yeah, of course it is to enter the provincial team, don't you want to?"

"How come, of course I want to!"

Han Chen shook his head quickly, and then asked with some uncertainty, "But I'm just an amateur player with little talent, can I enter the provincial team?"

He has a very clear understanding that his talent is not high, and he should be okay among amateur players.But it's not about talent, it's all about training, learning and imitating to get to the current level.

Maybe if they work harder, they can make wonderful memories in the regional competition or even the national U competition. This is also the common thought of many of their teammates, but that's all.

You know, at last year's meeting, he couldn't even get close to the provincial youth team.Even if their team is not far behind the provincial youth team, his personal performance may be better than many provincial youth team members, but he has always known in his heart that he will never rely on talent.

Like Zhou Ting and Li Feng, the more they progressed in special physical training, the more they felt the powerlessness of that talent.

Captain Lin Mu is the one with the talent, and maybe Wei Xiao and the former Gong Cheng should also be added.Oh, the captain said that Jiang Li from Jiuzi should be the same.

And compared to the captain, they can't jump as high as him, move not as fast as him, and they have to practice hard to adapt to the movements to achieve the effect of the captain's casual leveling. These talents are obvious at a glance.

They know better that in competitive sports, the higher one goes, the higher the requirement for talent. This is an indisputable fact.Helpless, but also extremely cruel and true.

"Ha ha!"

Liu Huafeng didn't pay attention to Han Chen's complex expression of confusion, surprise and slight expectation, and smiled heartily.

"Of course, it's worse than the captain of your family. But there must be opportunities. Play hard, keep yourself, and don't give up."

Liu Huafeng wasn't telling lies to be perfunctory, he really thought so in his heart.

According to the current personnel structure of the provincial team, if there is a complete reorganization and a major shake-up, everything is possible.

Even if it's just a partial replacement, the first thing to consider must be the position of the setter and the free agent.

Because of the existence of Yin Liqiang, the provincial team's setter is a strong position, but in fact, the development of the setter has not been very good.

It is too much to say that Lao Yin is successful and Lao Yin is defeated, but the situation that Lao Yin is alone does make the development of other setters unsatisfactory.

It's not that you can't practice, but there are some things that, once you practice them in adulthood, after your physical fitness and physical fitness are basically formed, if you want to get up again, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

He is a person who likes to think and summarize, how can he not understand.

Excellent athletes, when they can be called excellent, have a particularly deep feeling for these aspects.

Brother Lu's ability to bring the children under his command to be like this is the profound experience of a former outstanding athlete.

Therefore, he is very sure that if the team wants to develop and supplement personnel, the supplementary personnel considered must be young athletes in the model of Lin Mu and his boys.

As for the position, the setter will definitely bear the brunt. It depends on Lao Yin's performance now. Lao Yin is playing extremely smoothly. How much help does the addition of a setter who is versatile in offense and defense and good defense bring?
Just now he took over his own role. If he replaced the opponent's secondary attacker, he believed that with his strong point, he would play even better.

The main force is like this, for the thickness of the team's lineup, the positions of substitutes and assistants must be made up.

For people like Han, opportunities will come naturally. Of course, a province is very big, so he is not sure whether there will be more top-notch people in the field of vision.But compared with the performance of the provincial youth team's setter, he believes that the chances are still great.

"Thank you Brother Liu, I will definitely work hard!"

"Yes, yes, let's continue, we can't let our captain see the joke, come on, move!"

Liu Huafeng clapped his hands, shouted loudly, and encouraged his teammates again.

People dispersed, re-positioned, and prepared for the next game.

Liu Huafeng bowed slightly, and turned his gaze to the opposite half.His eyes swept across the players on the opposite side one by one, and finally fixed on Yin Liqiang.

Almost at the same time, Yin Liqiang's eyes were also projected, and the eyes of the two met in the air.

A tacit understanding emerged spontaneously, the two seemed to understand each other's meaning, and smiled at each other.

At this point in the game, it seems that there is not much meaning behind it.

One game brought many of their previous ideas to reality, and also provided a footnote for their future path.

How long will it take for the next step, how long will it take in the future?
In sports career, in the face of boring, monotonous, repetitive, and extremely tiring, grueling training, it is for each game, but more people are not dreaming at all.

Maybe it's for playing more comfortably, maybe it's for the satisfaction of controlling the court, maybe it's just to "appreciate" the powerlessness and despair of the opponent when facing his own spike.

It is because of these reasons, one by one, that there seems to be no "dream" in the process, that makes countless people persist and are willing to bear these boring and monotonous.

This is more of a sustenance and hope.
