Chapter 146 Meeting Notice
one day in may,
Baohe District, Luzhou, Huizhou.

Provincial Sports Bureau Ball Games Management Center, Comprehensive Conference Room.

In the spacious conference room, beside the circular conference table, the director of the management center, the deputy director in charge, and the project leaders, more than 20 people sat in a circle, full of people.

The director of the center sits on it, and he personally presides over the meeting, which is also a monthly routine work meeting.

The four-year cycle is dominated by the National Games, and the one-year cycle is centered around professional events.

Most of the domestic sports competitions and systematic competitions are basically New Year's Eve.

Therefore, it is May, which happens to be the end of the previous year. When preparing for the next year, it can be regarded as a link between the past and the future.

The same is true, this month is exactly the time to report on the previous year and plan the content of the next year, so the mood of many project leaders is fluctuating.

The fundamental reason is that the results of the projects under the jurisdiction of the Huizhou Ball Management Center are too poor.

After a year of competitions, the Sports Bureau and the Center have invested a lot of resources, but the results are not so good. This report is not easy to do.

What's more, how much resources should be allocated for the next year, how to prepare for it, plan for team building, etc.These jobs are also not easy to do.

In the final analysis, if there is no result, the confidence to speak will inevitably be a little less.

The meeting had been going on for more than an hour, and the project leaders reported separately. The occasional criticisms and hopes from the presiding leaders were frowning almost throughout the whole process. Obviously, they were not satisfied with many situations.

The atmosphere in the meeting room seemed dull.

In the middle of the side of the conference table, Lu Jianguo, the head coach of the provincial volleyball team, was sitting here. He was upright, with a serious face, and he looked rigorous, meticulous, and even a little calm.

However, those who are very familiar with him can tell that he is not as calm as he appears.

The two arms resting on the table were heavy, and they were pinching a few pages of paper, and their fingers were twitching subconsciously.This is his habit when he is nervous.

Most of the reports on other projects have been completed, and it will be up to him in a while, and he is currently talking in his mind.

With previous grades as a basis, he is not worried about reporting grades or anything.He is an old man who is almost 60, and his qualifications are old enough, so no one will criticize him directly.

The main thing is the work for the next year and the operation of the whole transportation cycle.

Although he has received the support of the leaders of the center, the work he arranged some time ago has basically been completed, and the personnel have been listed, and they are waiting for the notification to gather for training.

But this can only be preparatory work. If he really wants to run it, and even achieve a good result, he and his team need to work hard, and moreover, he needs support from many aspects.

It all boils down to support and resources, but he knows it's not easy to ask for it.

The meeting was still going on, and after another ten minutes, it was finally Coach Lu's turn.

Lu Jianguo put away his thoughts in an instant, looked up at the leaders above, then relaxed his arms, cleared his throat, and began to report.

"Our volleyball team participated in the 98-99 season..."

He reported the past work of the lower volleyball team, the main content is the professional volleyball league.The professional volleyball league has ended, and the Huizhou volleyball team is unsurprisingly ranked in the middle and lower reaches, with "stable" results.

Several leaders and people from other projects just watched, watching Lu Jianguo report his achievements and past work according to the script.

In fact, they all have one center, and everyone has a bottom line on who's achievements.At present, the general situation of ball games in Huizhou Province is the same, and it is not worth making them feel ups and downs.

Coach Lu's report was still going on, and they didn't have much energy to listen to it. Even the directors and deputy directors were not very interested.

In fact, the volleyball team led by this old Lu has been too "stable" in recent years, and they don't have much passion for being stable.

It's just that, while talking, Coach Lu put down the paper in his hand and reported on the preparations for the next stage and the team's work arrangements.When we got here, everyone found out that something was wrong.

"...We plan to gather 40 people. The current personnel inspection work has ended. The next step is to issue the list. It is planned to be at the end of this month and the beginning of next month..."

"Wait a minute, Old Lu!"

When Coach Lu said this, one of the leaders above tapped his finger on the table and interrupted Coach Lu.
The person who spoke was one of the three deputy directors of the center, surnamed Qin. The sports events managed by the ball management center are mainly big ball games, almost all of which are team ball games.

The projects he is mainly responsible for managing are those with relatively good performance in the current ball management center, such as handball and rugby.

Therefore, his status among several deputy directors is relatively high.After all, competitive sports still depends on the results.

Director Qin interrupted Lu Jianguo, and waited until everyone's eyes were on here before he continued: "Old Lu, if I remember correctly, at this time last year, according to the work schedule of the National Games cycle, your volleyball team Has the staff been replenished?"

As he spoke, he looked at the other deputy director, Deputy Director Jiang who was in charge of basketball and volleyball. Seeing that there was no objection, he continued to ask: "It's only been a year, are you planning to add more? Of course, you don't mean You can't replenish personnel every year, but it depends on your posture..."

Coach Lu made up his mind and explained slowly: "Director Qin, I have already reported to Director Jiang about the call for specific personnel. At present, the personnel called are all people between 15 and 21 years old. According to age, it is more suitable for the next one. The work of the National Games.

Moreover, what we are preparing is to change the original structure of the team in the next two years, and create a team that combines some old players and most of the young players..."

"The more you say it, the more...how should I put it, your statement looks good, but have you considered, is the scale and movement too big?
After all, we are not the kind of temporary convening like the national team. We play a certain game together in a group, and then go home after the end.We are a local team and there are many things to consider.

You are the highest team in the province, but you do not exist independently. You also have a lower-level sports team. According to your cycle, what about your lower-level team members?A large-scale exchange of blood, what about the replaced people?
The replacement of personnel is not something that can be done with a slap on the head. Whether it is echelon or adult team athletes, including those who have retired, this is something we need to consider..."

Director Qin's voice was getting higher and higher, saying he was talking about Coach Lu, but his eyes were always on Deputy Director Jiang.

In fact, he already knew about the preparations for the volleyball team's call, but he didn't know much about the specific situation.I knew that it was going to break up the current organization and directly recruit people from all over to reorganize the team.

After all, he is not in charge of the specific charge, Lao Jiang seems to have agreed, and it is not good for him to talk about it before the matter is implemented.In his mind, if the investment is not large, it will be done if it is done.

Lao Lu has worked for so many years and has indeed made a lot of contributions to Huizhou volleyball.Think of it as supporting the work of a diligent old comrade.

But now listening to what Lao Lu said, this movement is too big.

It's not that he has conflicts with Lao Jiang, he insists on fighting or something, the main reason is that such a strategy is really costly, and he also considers the overall situation of the ball in the final analysis.

The plate in the center of the ball tube is so big, and the annual resources are really limited.

The three deputy directors each share a share and are not under the control of each other, but the main work is to coordinate the various projects under the jurisdiction of the entire ball.

As he just said, what about the lower echelons, do we still need these personnel?You must know that these echelon personnel have also spent resources on it.

Newcomers need a registered identity, training resources, subsidies and wages.

Also, what about the provincial team members who have just been formed for a year?Just like what Lao Lu said before, maybe a few can be kept in the end, but now they are 20 people smaller.

Do you need to make arrangements for those who are eliminated at one time? If you don't, there may be some troubles if you go out so many at one time.It can be arranged, which again costs money.

Calculated from this, the investment in volleyball for the whole year is too great.

Moreover, he is even more worried about whether there will be another one next year.What if other projects follow suit?You know, it's not just volleyball that has mess problems.

"Old Qin, don't worry!"

Director Jiang forced a smile and explained, "Lao Lu is also doing his job better, isn't he?"

"Old Lu, please give the Director, Director Qin and everyone more details."

Coach Lu frowned. After looking at the leaders above, he nodded and said, "Everyone knows the current structure of our volleyball program. I won't say anything redundant. What I'm only thinking about now is that our volleyball team At the stage of the turn of the century, is it possible to have the confidence to continue to survive..."

"Directors, I'm not scaremongering. The situation of the national team has not been good in recent years. Of course, our province in Huizhou cannot participate in it, but the situation of the national team is very similar to ours now.

There is no inheritance, no system, and a group of players are dragging their feet and barely maintaining it.There is always a reincarnation between collapse and reconstruction, and more importantly, the last batch hit the fast spirit, this batch takes the power route, and the next batch will have a spiritual transformation.

In the final analysis, the purpose of our local team to train players is to send them to the top.But the current situation is that our local teams are at a loss..."

"Old Lu, that's what I said..."

Director Qin was still waiting to talk, but at this time the boss at the head, the director of the Ball Management Center, spoke, "Old Qin, don't worry, let Lao Lu finish talking first, it's all for discussing work! Lao Lu, you continue to talk, It sounds interesting to me!"

The director nodded kindly to Coach Lu.

Coach Lu got the signal and continued: "Director, I'm not talking about how the national team is, who to choose as the head coach, how to choose and employ people, and what tactical system to use. We can't control this. But from this model, I can see that we Similar drawbacks.

So, I thought about it for a long time before making this decision.The commotion this time is indeed not small, but what I think is not to suddenly select dozens of people to form a team and play for a few years.

What I mean more is that through such an opportunity, some systems will be established.We are targeted in the selection of personnel, and we have ideas in training and team formation. Everything now is to make a template.

The next step is to push down the provincial team model through the formation of the team. The ultimate hope is to form a system cycle from bottom to top and from top to bottom.

What kind of athletes the provincial team needs, how to cultivate more suitable players for the lower levels of the team, and forming a consistent upper and lower system is my final consideration..."

Having said that, Coach Lu took a breather and stopped.

The meeting room fell silent for a while, and Director Qin didn't speak for a while.

Above, the director subconsciously tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was also thinking.

After a while, the director said: "I can hear what you said now, and it does have practical significance. However, only by achieving results can we truly form an opportunity for succession..."

Coach Lu nodded and replied: "Yes, Director. You need to be guided by achievements. However, the group of people recruited now are all carefully selected, and they have hope in terms of talent, potential and current status. .

Director, I am confident that this batch is no worse than that of Lu Lin.Those batches made some achievements, but they didn’t have the awareness at that time, and they didn’t seize the opportunity for change.so now……"

After Coach Lu finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the leader above.

The matter has been spread out, and he has finished what he should say. This time, from deputy director Jiang to the current director, he has actually put decades of qualifications on it.

To be honest, that is to say, he is an old comrade, and he is an old comrade who has made achievements. This is the only way for Director Jiang to agree and consider it.If it was someone with less seniority, it is estimated that he would not even have the chance to make it to this point.

It depends on the decision of the director above.

There was a brief silence again, and after a minute or two, the director stopped thinking and smiled kindly, "Old Lu, I'm actually very pleased. You are an old comrade in our volleyball program. You have brought achievements, and you also have experience and qualifications." .

But you are not immersed in the past, you are still thinking about the development of volleyball work, and now your thinking has risen to a higher level.We who do sports work should have such a spirit of continuous transcendence and continuous improvement.

Regardless of whether what you say is right or not can be achieved, first of all your spirit is worthy of recognition.So, this time, I agree..."

"..."

The project personnel in the meeting room responded one after another, with different expressions on their faces.

Ignoring the reaction of the people below, the director continued: "Besides, in terms of work, the center will fully support you. You can put down your burden and work hard.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, change is not smooth, I will give you a reassurance, a cycle of several years, the center can afford to wait, but also lose! "

"Old Qin, Lao Jiang, Lao Lin, what do you think!"

Director Jiang nodded. Of course he had no objection to what he advocated.As for the other two deputy directors, even Director Qin, who had raised his opinion before, could only nod along at this time.

You, a big director, have already agreed, and the topic has risen to a higher level, so how can they have any refutation.

The director smiled and nodded, "Okay, since we all agree, Lao Lu, you can move. If you need anything, just talk to Director Jiang."

"Yes, Director!"

Coach Lu's heart was completely settled down, and even his abdomen, which had sent him signals just now, didn't feel uncomfortable at all at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

……

At the end of the meeting, Coach Lu started his work with full hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May, and Pengli Sports School also received a notice from the provincial team at this time.

The school office hurriedly reported that the school leadership was very happy, and then waved their hands, and the work was arranged.

Then, a notice printed with the list of participants in the provincial team training camp was posted outside the teaching and research building on a conspicuous notice board.

In Pengli Sports School, the bell had just rang for the end of get out of class, and many students who got the news gathered in front of the teaching and research building.

Lin Mu and his teammates also rushed over with the flow of people.

In fact, he knew the news the day before, and his occasional anxiety was finally completely let go.It doesn't matter if you read the notice or not.However, his teammates all wanted to take a look, so he followed suit.

After arriving, Lin Mu really didn't expect such a big commotion. After thinking about it for a while, he probably understood that the school might hope to give students, even teachers and coaches a little something in the school through such a form of publicity. Positive stimulation.

After all, it has been a long time since Pengli Sports School had any students enter the provincial team in various sports.

At this time, the front of the bulletin board was already full of people, and the volleyball team couldn't squeeze in front, and couldn't see the list clearly, and some teammates jumped up in a hurry.

Lin Mu was very calm at the moment.

"Haha, Captain, Lao Li, Lao Han, congratulations!"

Finally, he saw the contents of the notification clearly, and his teammates cheered for a while.

That's right, there were three people. There was no news before, but when they were notified, it was confirmed that they were Li Feng, Han Chen and Lin Mu.

"It's just a training camp. I don't know if it will succeed in the end!"

Han Chen barely kept his composure at this time, and said slowly.

"Haha, you are so proud, Old Han..."

"..."

The crowd watched lively, and many people came up to say hello to the volleyball team enviously, and then dispersed.

Lin Mu always had a faint smile, and at this moment, he also walked to the bulletin board.

There are a bunch of words on it, the most striking ones are the names of three people.

His name "Lin Mu" came into his eyes clearly in two black characters.

There was another palpitation, which made the blood in his whole body seem to flow a little faster unconsciously.

Very real, after being touched, there is a strange peace in my heart suddenly.

Following that, bits and pieces of the past resurfaced in my mind.

On Ruxu, the thin figure stubbornly moving forward on the carbon slag runway;
After coming to the sports school, because of setbacks, the lonely and sensitive boy was closed in his own world.

Then came the sweltering heat of the volleyball court, the sweat dripping on the waxed floor, and the clothes stuck tightly to the back.

Those scenes in the past, even some details that I didn't care about, are surprisingly clear.

After a period of time, the volleyball that I gradually liked has finally taken another step!
