Chapter 152 Games
"Come on, start!"

On the other side of the court, Liu Huafeng didn't turn his head back, he waved his hands behind his back and shouted loudly.

Lin Mu serves first.

He nodded his head as a response, but whether Liu Huafeng would see it was not what he was considering at this time.

He followed the position of the new end line, stepped back a few steps, roughly calculated the run-up distance, and at the same time simulated in his mind how to serve the ball.

After standing in his position, he held the ball and looked at Yin Liqiang and Hou Miao opposite.

too close.

He's never done that before.

Try it first!
Lin Mu didn't think about it anymore, and followed the usual rhythm of serving the ball, throwing the ball, running up, taking off, and swinging his arms, all in one go.

"boom!"

After the ball was hit by the violent force, it flashed across the side like a meteor.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

After the ball hit the ground, the teammates on the sidelines unconsciously let out a sigh of regret.

The running posture is stretched, the ball is full of momentum, the ball is powerful and heavy, and the whole serve looks very vigorous, but unfortunately it is out of bounds.

"Nothing, come back next time!"

Liu Huafeng looked at Lin Mu's thoughtful look, patted Lin Mu's shoulder indifferently, and said in relief.

"Well, I didn't grasp the feeling of control, I will adjust it next time!"

Lin Mu was not upset, and nodded slightly to explain.

Such a serve is like a free kick in front of the penalty area.

The closer you are, the more difficult it is to control the trajectory of the ball if you have to go directly over the wall of the net.

The distance is too close!Just after he exerted his force, he didn't control it well, and he couldn't hold it down.

In normal practice, he has never practiced such a short ball, and now it is really difficult to hit it all of a sudden.

However, he became interested instead, and maybe later, it can also be used as a way for him to train his serve.

The confrontation continues and the serve is changed.

Yin Liqiang serves.

Half jump overhand ball.

Some balls between vigorous and floating balls were successfully delivered to the field.

However, the quality is average.

Liu Huafeng took the first step to catch the ball, and the ball drew a high parabola towards the net.

As soon as the ball was shot, he moved to position 4 without hesitation. At the same time, Lin Mu ran to the landing point. Yin Liqiang and Hou Miao on the opposite side stared at each other, chasing people and opened up the defensive formation.

On two sides, each attack can hit the ball three times, but there is no limit to the second attack, so this is inverted, and the defender basically stares one-on-one.

Therefore, if the offensive side intentionally splits left and right, almost every attack and block may be a one-on-one contest, which is a test of personal skill.

This ball does exactly that.

Yin Liqiang followed Lin Mu to position 2, and Hou Miao immediately caught up with Liu Huafeng after returning from the teeing area.

Lin Mu was facing the net sideways, and after he glanced at it for a while, he quickly jumped up and passed the ball.

The speed of the ball was extremely fast, and the arc was very flat, which did not give Yin Liqiang time to move again.

The ball flew parallelly from the right to the left. At this time, Liu Huafeng had already jumped high, stretched his arms, greeted the incoming ball, and swung it hard.

"boom!"

The powerful smash of the small diagonal line passed through Hou Miao's solo block and flew directly to the corner.

Yin Liqiang flew to catch the ball, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach it, and the ball fell to the ground.

Lin Mu smiled and went up to give Liu Huafeng a high five.

A successful attack and defense.

He cooperated with Liu Huafeng's pass, and did not give Yin Liqiang, who was defending his second attack, time to merge and block. However, Liu Huafeng's individual strength is indeed very strong, and Hou Miao's one-on-one block is almost difficult to stop.

However, Hou Miao's idea of ​​blocking the net was right. He couldn't keep up with Liu Huafeng in terms of rhythm, but he tried his best to control the straight line and give way to the diagonal half court. The rest depends on Yin Liqiang's ground protection.

Unfortunately, Yin Liqiang didn't take precautions.

Change serve.

Liu Huafeng grabbed the ball with one hand and walked to the end line to stand still.

It is the actual end line of the court. Judging from the run-up distance, it will be a jump serve, but it should not be a purely strong ball.

Lin Mu roughly made a judgment. He turned around, sank his center of gravity, and took a defensive stance.

Liu Huafeng serves and makes a shot.

The ball is really hard to serve. If the serve point is farther from the end line, it is not difficult to control the serve point.In previous official games, he has not rarely served the ball close to the central area or even pressed to the 3-meter line.

However, after all, the end line is a few meters ahead, if the serve point is pulled too far, it will be too late to quickly return to the court to participate in defense after serving the ball.

Therefore, for this serve, Liu Huafeng also shortened the run-up distance, the strength of the take-off serve was not strong, and the angle was not tricky.

The speed of the ball was not fast, and the landing point was obvious. Yin Liqiang and Hou Miao calmly chose the receiver of the first pass.

Hou Miao stepped forward steadily to catch the ball.

As the main attacker, it is not particularly difficult to catch the ball, and basically has the ability to ensure that the first pass is in place, which is usually a necessary condition for a qualified main attacker.

Hou Miao is the main attacker of the provincial team, so he naturally has this strength.

The ball hit the net smoothly, and then Hou Miao moved to the 4th position.

Lin Mu hurriedly moved to the front of the net to guard against Yin Liqiang's second attack.

Yin Liqiang in position 4 faced the net sideways and half-hopped to pass the ball, while Hou Miao in position [-] took off calmly and smashed the ball.

Liu Huafeng blocked the net alone.

Almost exactly the same offensive routine as the one Lin Mu and the others played just now.

Lin Mu didn't think too much about it. At this moment, he was staring at the online one-on-one battle between Liu Huafeng and Hou Miao.

At the same time, he adjusted his footsteps, trying to cooperate with Liu Huafeng's block, in order to form a defensive layer of block and ground support.

With such a defensive construction, Pengli Sports School has already developed enough awareness whether it is the core, attackers or defensive players.Lin Mu, as the core of all-round attack and defense, is no exception.

When he saw Hou Miao's hand turn slightly, the volleyball had passed Liu Huafeng's blocking control range and flew across the center line. Lin Mu hurriedly took a step back, and then flew sideways.

Lin Mu's right hand was stretched straight out, and he tried his best to pad it towards the flying ball.

The ball hit Lin Mu's hand heavily, and after all, it missed by a line. The ball failed to lift up and rolled directly under the net.

"Hey, Kobayashi, are you okay!"

Liu Huafeng came over and pulled Lin Mu up.

"fine!"

Lin Mu rubbed his hip bones, twisted his waist, and shook his head lightly.

He has been playing volleyball for several years, scrambling, jumping, jumping, and so on. Lin Mu has long developed the inertia of his body for self-protection in these actions.

However, there was still some pain from the stumble, but fortunately, it was all flawed, so it was not a serious problem.

"Ok!"

Liu Huafeng nodded, and praised with satisfaction: "Although I didn't save him just now, I did it beautifully!"

"Come on, let's continue, this time you attack!"

Lin Mu didn't refuse, but nodded.

The confrontation continued and Hou Miao served.

Two balls, almost the same attack on both sides, it is a conventional offensive cooperation, but Lin Mu always feels that this kind of attack is a bit lacking in meaning.

Therefore, when Hou Miao served the ball, Lin Mu stepped forward to catch a pass, and he followed the direction of the pass to the net.

Off the No. 3 position, Liu Huafeng was already in position to make a second pass, but when he observed his teammates and opponents preparing to take off and pass the ball, he was a little surprised.

Lin Mu was very close to him.

Liu Huafeng turned his mind quickly and didn't think about it any more, then jumped up on the spot and stretched out his hands to pass the ball.

At the same time, when Liu Huafeng took off, Lin Mu also took off from a position less than two meters in front of him.

Lin Mu got taller and taller. Opposite him, Yin Liqiang and Hou Miao, who were only a step behind him, also jumped up.

The two pairs of arms stretched their teeth and claws in an intercepting posture.

Liu Huafeng was a little speechless, did he not trust me to make long-distance strikes, or was he too confident in his spikes?

However, he couldn't help complaining about the current offensive and defensive posture.

The overhand pass was smooth and fast. After the ball was released, Liu Huafeng sighed and felt a little annoyed.

Liu Huafeng couldn't really convey that fast feeling with the short, flat, fast ball at a distance of two meters, or in other words, a close-to-body flat, fast ball.The preparation time provided for Yin Liqiang and Hou Miao also made it difficult for Lin Mu's spike to cooperate.

An excellent setter not only needs to pass the ball based on self-will, but also needs to cooperate according to the attacker's movements, offensive thinking, and comprehensive physique.Perhaps this is the difference between a good setter and an average setter.

Many people say that a certain attacker is powerful and unsolvable.The technical excellence of the attacker itself is undeniable.

But in fact, in most of the offenses, there is a passer behind the attacker who can feed him exquisite, comfortable, and just-right passes.

Of course, in the absence of adjustments and passing coordination, there are naturally times when the attacker's own absolute strength is used to complete an excellent offense.

Just like this moment.

Maybe it was a little hesitant about Lin Mu's spiking cooperation, or his own passing was really a bit average.

Although Liu Huafeng passed the ball at a good speed with a short and flat arc, the rhythm was a bit slower after all.

After the news came out, Liu Huafeng felt it. This is the offensive sense that a good attacker should have.

Of course, on the other hand, it can also be said that Lin Mu, the attacker, took off too early.

In fact, generally in volleyball teams, this kind of situation often happens. When there is a lack of cooperation, it is not to say that the responsibility is shared, but the source of the mistake will always be analyzed.

If it is analyzed by a bystander, whoever is weaker in the team, has a lower status, and has a lesser reputation is naturally the culprit of the mistake.

Even some players in the game will inevitably make an analysis that is beneficial to themselves for various reasons.

But now it's just a game-like confrontation, and Liu Huafeng is not the kind of person who is too proud to tolerate mistakes.Of course, he would not blindly make an analysis that the cause of the mismatch is all Lin Mu.

In the air, Lin Mu turned his eyes left and right, grasping the angle of view in front of the net and on both sides of the incoming ball.With his keen sense, he has already made a judgment.

As for Liu Huafeng's analysis, he had no time to think about it. When he took off and rose to the highest point, the ball flew half a beat slower than he expected.

no problem!
His waist and abdomen exerted strength again, he forced another breath, and then raised his arms.

For a moment, the several figures in the air seemed to have an illusion of stillness.

With a muffled cry in his heart, he suddenly swung his right arm out.

"Oh!"

With a whimper from the sidelines, the volleyball flew out of Lin Mu's hands, and with violent force, it slammed into a pair of palms tens of centimeters away.

The hands that blocked the net, their fingers were hit by the sudden ball, fell backwards uncontrollably.

Then, the ball rose again and flew high towards the sidelines.

Strong attack, the thug went out of bounds, and Lin Mu's spike worked.

"Clap clap clap!"

"it is good!"

The players on the sidelines couldn't help giving some applause.

They are all relatively good ones, and what they see is naturally more real than that of pure laymen. I have to say that this 16-year-old kid has the taste of a powerful attacker.

The overall physical quality is not good, and the strength does not seem to be great, but the coordination, agility, and instant suspension and explosion are really good.

Especially in the air, the sense of attack with the pass is really good.

At this time, the applauding team members stopped, and some team members couldn't help thinking more.

"Not bad!"

On the sidelines a little further away, several provincial team coaches were also watching the "game" between them. At this moment, Coach Wu could not help but praise.

He looked at Lu Lin beside him, and said with a smile, "Xiao Lu, your apprentice is really talented. Moreover, the basic skills of passing and saving the ball just now, and now cooperating with spiking are very solid. I think, From now on, he will be able to take Xiao Yin's class..."

Lu Lin smiled noncommittally.

Take Yin Liqiang's class?

Maybe, but Lin Mu and Yin Liqiang are different.

Lu Lin didn't talk to Coach Wu. During training or observing players, Lu Lin always spoke "slowly", and Coach Wu didn't care.

He turned his attention to the game on the court again.

Lin Mu served again.

Not too thick arms and legs, but coach Wu always feels a very special sense of strength when running.

Very confusing and contrasting.

Coach Wu couldn't help being a little weird, just like when he first got Lin Mu's information.

Thin arms and thin legs, but you can always hit the ball that looks very powerful, and you think it is strong, but many times you always think it is just a skill.Even though Lin Mu's quality in all aspects is now better than it was at the beginning, he still feels that there is a big contrast.

I have to say that this player is very interesting, and of course, very good.

Lin Mu's serve still looks full of strength.

After the ball is shot, it looks heavy, but after flying over the net, it feels full of spin.

The ball flew straight to the bottom corner, and Hou Miao hurriedly moved to catch the ball, but the ball fell hard and rotated strongly, cutting directly on Hou Miao's arm, and then floated far away.

"Oh, that's amazing, Xiao Lin!"

"Very nice ball!"

Inside the arena, Liu Huafeng stomped his feet excitedly, ran over and hugged Lin Mu.Even Yin Liqiang walked to the net and couldn't help but praise him.

After a bit of fuss, the game continued.

Lin Mu returned to the bottom line with a calm expression, still looking calm.

Serving has always been his strong point, and he has repeatedly made great achievements in previous games.

His keen sense and practice have always been the main reason for his good serve.

However, there is a more important fundamental reason is that he knows how to analyze and think.

As early as when coach Lu began to teach him to smash the ball, he was still very thin, and he had already thought about it.

Later, when Coach Lu first taught him the power jump, he also incorporated this kind of thinking into it.

Constantly training, verifying, and trying again and again, he gradually developed his characteristics among all the ways of active attack.

In what he said to his teammates, it means that your physique is not as good as human beings, and many technical aspects are not as good as human beings. If you want to gain a better foothold and achieve good results, you must have some special skills.

The so-called trick is that every time you serve and attack, you have to give people illusions and contrasts, making it difficult or even impossible to judge.

Thin and thin, the whole process of hitting the ball does not look strong, but when it is hit, it is heavy and floaty or heavy and spins. Is it a contrast?
Full of momentum, full of power, the whole process looks explosive in one go, but after hitting the ball, it is light, tricky and weird, which is also a contrast.

Don't let others position you, and cause obstacles to the opponent's judgment every time. It can be imagined that the offensive initiative and scoring rate will naturally become higher.

In the previous youth-level competitions, Lin Mu proved his skills one by one.

Moreover, with the continuous improvement of his physical fitness, he continued to hone his basic skills, gradually integrating his physical fitness and technical characteristics, and became better and better in these aspects.

In the regional competition, although his physical strength was still not good, and his physical fitness was at a disadvantage most of the time, but in the entire youth level competition, he still made great achievements in one-on-two and one-on-three, which is enough proof.

It can be said that Lin Mu has no resistance to him on the entire technical level in the youth level competition, and he has gradually taken the youth competition very lightly.

Now, he's about to enter a new level.

The breakthrough of the bottleneck, the improvement of the realm, the continuous enhancement of the strength, and the continuous improvement of the overall physique and physical fitness, further combine and develop their own characteristics.

With Lin Mu holding the ball in his hand, his thoughts became clearer.
