men's volleyball

Chapter 141
"Coach, I've made up my mind, I want to play volleyball!"

Facing the gentle and kind face of the coach, You Ming nodded affirmatively, his eyes didn't dodge at all, they were extremely firm.

"Xiaoyou, tell me? Why do you have an idea?"

Coach Jin nodded with a smile and asked.

The children's eyes are not so hidden. Based on his experience of living for decades, he can also see that this child is indeed very firm.You Ming's affirmation reassured him.

But everything needs to talk about the cause, cause and effect. Although the result is good, he still hopes to understand the specific thoughts.

Take the youth team, or the young people whose minds are not yet mature.Training and competition can be rough, but the work behind it must not be simple and rough.

Let’s not talk about advancing with the times, but seeing social changes and ebb and flow for decades, you can’t fix your thinking anyway.

It is not decades ago, or even more than ten years ago. Social forms, human thinking, and values ​​have long been unable to be generalized.

I still remember that when I led a group of children to train for the first time, a few slogans and a few goals were shouted out, and the children started screaming.

The conditions are not good, there is no fame or fortune, and there is not even a bright future, so I don't care. Think about it carefully, maybe this kind of thing can be called a belief.

But now some things have long been piled into the category of "fake big empty", which makes him helpless and makes him reflect.

Therefore, he is also consciously changing his thinking bit by bit.

For example, at this moment, the child he hopes and is optimistic about said to him "I like it, I want...", while he is relieved, he also needs to understand it more clearly.

To take a step forward in sports competition, if you want to go on, you need not only a little blood and passion, but also some love, love, and even some faith.

How to lead and guide correctly is also his responsibility as a coach.

"Coach, in fact, I have thought about it a long time ago, as early as after playing the first game, I have thought about it!"

You Ming answered the coach's question very quickly, as if dissecting himself. The 16-year-old boy seemed extraordinarily deep at the moment.

"When I was 9 years old, I watched volleyball on TV for the first time with my dad. I remember it was an Asian game. In that game, our Huaxia team lost, and my dad cried , I remember talking to me a lot.

When I was young, I didn't understand at all, how could a few uncles cry when they were playing ball?Even what my dad said at the time and what I said ignorantly, I can't remember it now.But I remember, what I said at the time, my dad was very happy, that is, from that day on, I came into contact with volleyball, in fact, some things were quietly planted. "

"A few days later, my dad sent me to the Children's Palace to start learning volleyball. At that time, I just thought it was fun, and I thought it was very interesting to play with a group of children.

Later, there were competitions in the Children's Palace. At first, I watched other children play, and then I went up to play by myself.There are wins and losses, and after each time, I seem to understand the charm of it a little bit.

During the intermittent years, there were disputes between my father and my mother, as well as my persistence. Fortunately, my academic performance did not drop much, and this is how I have been able to play until now.

The training is very hard and tiring, even for the most amateur youth team, some bruises are unavoidable.Once, when I was about 13 or 14 years old, during a training session of the junior high school team, I didn’t notice that my leg was swollen for several days because of a practice save.

I was terrified at the time, and my mother cried and stopped me from beating, but in the end I continued beating.

In fact, I have always believed that the reason for my persistence is very simple. I like to play and win games with some friends and teammates.Even if it's just a small supporting role in it, I'm quite satisfied..."

"Ha ha!"

Coach Jin smiled again, You Ming seemed to be narrating his past in an unorganized manner, and he didn't interrupt him, just watching quietly and encouragingly.

How volleyball players get in may be different, but if you keep playing, the bitterness in the process is similar.

Persistence has never been easy, and it may be different, but those who do not have this persistence have already bid farewell to volleyball early.

You Ming's words continued.

"I played well in junior high school. I entered our school last year and joined the school team. I should have played well. That's why I was lucky enough to be recommended to join the city youth team.

I'm very excited, even if I didn't win any games after joining the team, I'm still happy.Throughout the year, I practiced while studying. Although I was very tired and my mother nagged me over and over again, I still enjoyed it.

But now that I am in the second year of high school, and the learning tasks are getting heavier and heavier, I gradually feel more and more pressure.

Before coming to play this time, my mother told me that after this game, I will be completely resigned from the team.I was a little uncomfortable at the time, subconsciously I didn't want to, but I didn't think about it anymore, after all, my mother was also thinking about my future.

In my mother's words, you have been willful for many years, and you cannot continue to be so willful.Now that I have grown up, I should think about problems maturely and rationally in the way of an adult.

In fact, I really don't know if I should become the shape I should have when I grow up.

In short, after playing on and off for 6 or 7 years, I have to leave.It was probably the last time I played volleyball, so I seemed to let go of it completely.

It is precisely because of this that I seem to have touched a lot of things that I have never thought about before from each ball.Moreover, for every ball, I suddenly cherish it extraordinarily.

After each game, there are more and more inexplicable thoughts in my heart, which makes me a little confused.I figured it out myself, and finally it came down to the fact that I was leaving, and I felt a little bit reluctant.

But after a few days of the game, I became more and more confused. Every time I thought about leaving after the game, I always felt that something was coming out of my heart.Can't grasp the clues, but it makes people a little messy.Especially the second scene..."

"Xiao You, take your time, there are still a few hours left in the evening game, and there is plenty of time! Besides, being able to open up and talk about it can be regarded as a clear understanding of the original heart, and it is also a good thing for you!"

Feeling that the child was indeed thinking more and more, he pressed his hand and asked You Ming to calm down his thoughts a little bit.

"Coach, tell me, if I keep playing hard, train harder, and play more dedicatedly, will I ever be able to represent the national team?"

After a while, as if he had made a big decision, You Ming asked the coach a little nervously.

"Ha ha!"

Coach Jin smiled heartily, reached out and patted You Ming on the shoulder heavily.

He didn't expect You Ming to ask this question suddenly. It seemed that he was really stimulated by something, which made him recall the past and definitely found something that he had overlooked.Maybe it's the original intention, maybe it can also be said to be a dream.

Coach Jin didn't answer You Ming's question, but instead asked, "Who do you think among the teams playing this time, who do you think will have the possibility of entering the national team in the future?"

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it before, even I myself have come up with some ideas in the past few days, calling out things I didn't notice before!"

You Ming shook his head, but then he said with certainty: "If I have to say one, I think it will be number 3 of the Pengli team, Lin Mu."

"Ha ha!"

Coach Jin smiled and asked: "Just now I heard that you and Xiao Liu Xiaoji went to watch the Pengli team's game. The time is not over yet. You came back with me because you had an idea halfway through." Speaker?"

"Ok!"

He found a lot of shadows from Lin Mu, and this association allowed him to recall step by step, and even brought back many casual memories when he first came into contact with volleyball.

He even made a comparison, the more he compared, the clearer his hazy thoughts became.I clearly grasped my heart and felt uncomfortable.

To be honest, he never really felt that he was a person who liked to compare himself with others, but suddenly thoughts popped up, and he seemed to be adding footnotes to himself again and again.

"Coach, I watched more than one game, and I saw a lot of shadows of his predecessors in him. It was also because when I watched it just now, I recalled his information and game videos that I had seen before.

Moreover, after I thought about it, I also thought of Zhou An, the current captain of the national team. I even found it a little unbelievable that I would think that Zhou An was not as good as him.It's not that it's inferior in technology and strength, or..."

Although he read it and had an idea, but let him define it, he really didn't know how to explain it.

However, speaking of this, he has truly confirmed one thing. He once thought about playing like this, playing hard, working hard to go higher, and even working hard to enter the national team and play international competitions.

It's too far away to win glory for the country, but what he didn't understand at the age of 9, his father's tears, and the vague unhappiness in his heart, were really brought out of his subconscious.

"Okay! Xiaoyou, the national team is like going to university. No, it should be a hundred times, a thousand times more difficult than taking a university entrance exam. It is considered small to say that thousands of troops and horses cross a single-plank bridge. It is too false to say that you can't compare with anyone, because every Anyone who plays hard is your competition."

"The Lin Mu you mentioned is indeed an excellent player. It can be said that he can definitely be ranked among the top players in his age group.

However, this top is not because of his physical fitness, physical fitness, and technology, but his momentum, will, and attitude towards the game.Can you understand this? "

You Ming nodded slowly, he understood a little bit.

"Our coach didn't tell you more about his specific information. Here I can give you a brief introduction! He hasn't really played volleyball for more than 3 years. It is very rare to reach this level. It is conceivable that he is a talented and persistent player. players.

If he can continue to maintain this will, as you just said, he has a great chance of entering the national team, and it will definitely not be a marginal one.

So, you should understand, as a volleyball player, what is the most important thing!As for you asking me just now, where you can go in the future, I can't tell you, it's up to you!

In fact, it is too early to say these things now, you are still young, and the road still needs to be walked step by step.Working hard to grow is what you should do now. "

"So, since you've already thought so much, let me ask you one last question..."

You Ming raised his head and looked at the coach with burning eyes.

"Are you ready to compare with others, compete with others, and create your own future?"

You Ming pondered, thoughts flashed one by one in his mind.

Gradually, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

I actually went to learn volleyball, not only because of the children's palace where my father sent me, I have been playing, not because of the habit of playing for so many years.

I train hard and play hard. Even when I am a substitute or a supporting role, I have never stopped. Subconsciously, I have always had goals and original ideas, and I have never been afraid of being compared with others.

As his thoughts drifted away, and his thoughts became more determined, he nodded fiercely.

"Okay! Since that's the case..."

Coach Jin stood up and said, "Let's go, gather your teammates, you and us, starting from today's game..."

You Ming also stood up, and as Coach Jin walked out of the room, his mood seemed to gradually relax, which was replaced by anticipation.

the other side.

While Coach Jin was talking with You Ming, the competition in the No. [-] volleyball hall became more and more intense.

Lin Mu, who had just been talked about by Jincai Middle School, didn't have time to think about those ideals and future at the moment.Up to now, the situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to them. The only thing he thinks about is how to make the game better.

After the Pengli team successfully won the first game, the second game was a bit like a replica of the first game of the two teams. Consciousness, interspersed with a strong serve, is leading the game step by step.

However, Yucheng No. [-] Middle School, who was a little dazed at the beginning of the second game, quickly recovered, and was still stubbornly fighting with the Pengli team with its own domineering tactics.

It didn't take long to hit the end of the second game.

It was another goal. Before Han Chen passed the ball to the net, this time he did not pass it to Lin Mu. He chose the opponent's setter position, which was not too strong to block the block, as a breakthrough point. Li Feng successfully smashed the ball out of bounds at No. point.

With the multi-point offensive distribution of the front row and the full scheduling of the back row's strong attacks that are often interspersed, the Pengli team's offensive play has become more and more advantageous and imposing.

Moreover, because of the two free agents, and Lin Mu and Brilliance's front and rear defenses who are equally good at catching and saving the ball, they are doing better and better in defense and transition from defense to offense.

The two sides seem to be playing their own ways, and they don't change their moves.

In the end, the Pengli team played better and better in the field of active scoring. With all their efforts, they scored 21:25 and went to the next game.

From the third game onwards, the situation suddenly changed.

During the break between innings,

Lu Lin glanced at Lin Mu and asked, "Is it okay?"

Lin Mu nodded: "No problem."

He looked extremely calm, and he really didn't feel too tired.

Lu Lin nodded, and then began to explain to the players: "Just now, everyone did a good job. Just like this, we played one ball at a time. Our advantage is active tactics. Don't be afraid of the opponent's strengths, keep going!"

The third game begins,
The coach of Yucheng No. [-] Middle School didn't know what to say, and their players started to attack more violently as soon as they entered the field.

It seems that they also started to play more in the front and back rows, and after a few balls came up, the Pengli team was a little unable to react in time.

Moreover, they blocked the net in the front row and fought harder. They didn't hesitate to use their footwork and physical strength, and they seemed to have figured it out completely. They didn't stare at Lin Mu so hard as before.

Of course, they didn't let Lin Mu idle in their active offense. Whenever the opponent had an opportunity to attack, they would find Lin Mu's position and force Lin Mu to defend and catch the ball. There are relatively fewer times when you can directly participate.

This also caused Zhou Ting, Li Feng, and Liu Mingming to be firmly stopped several times.

The situation of the Pengli team is gradually passive.

Teammates' spiking mistakes gradually increased. Although there was not much change in the attitude of the game, they were somewhat impatient.

Once a person is in a hurry and concentrates more, it seems that his physical strength will decline very quickly.

3:0;

5:3;

7:5;

10:9;

13:11;

Until 15:13...

After being beaten by the opponent for a few points at the beginning, they worked hard to adjust and struggled to increase the score, but the Yucheng team seemed to be more and more finding the feeling of beating the Pengli team, and always maintained a score advantage of two or three points.

The opponent served the ball again, Lin's No. 5 in the back row received the ball and made a pass, Han Chen made a second pass, Liu Mingming's spike in the front row's No. 4 was blocked again, and Yucheng No. [-] Middle School scored another point.

16:13;

The Yucheng No. [-] Middle School player who successfully blocked the net roared in front of the net, morale was completely lifted, and the situation of the Pengli team began to be bad for a while.

Lin Mu looked at the team area on the sidelines, and saw Lu Lin nodding to him from across the air. He waved knowingly and called his teammates to his side.
