men's volleyball

Chapter 164
The National U17 Youth Volleyball Championship is a traditional youth volleyball event.

Over the past years, it has generally been sponsored by the Youth Division of the Volleyball Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport, the Youth Division of the National Volleyball Association, and local volleyball management, and co-organized by local training bases or volleyball stadiums.

Once a year, from the initial 8 participating teams from various provinces and cities, the army has been expanded year by year, and the number of participating teams has increased.This year it reached an unprecedented 18 teams.

Regardless of objective reasons, there are more teams. From the perspective of the national level, it is also to provide a relatively large platform for exchanges and competitions for more provincial, municipal and local youth teams.

Similar to the previous rules, this year's 1999 competition still uses technical evaluation, physical fitness evaluation and comprehensive scoring to determine the ranking of the final participating teams.

The competition time is from August 8th to August 12th. 8 teams will compete for rankings through the four stages of evaluation, group stage, semi-finals and finals. The whole process lasts 20 days.

As one of the participating teams, the Pengli Sports School Team, which has been training for another month, set off from Luzhou and rushed to the competition place by train under the leadership of team leader Liu Ze, coaches Lu Lin, Li Shaohua, and Feng Jing. Bac Ha QHD.

On August 8th, a team of 10 players from the Pengli team, a team leader, a deputy team leader, and 14 coaches, a total of 3 people spent a long journey on the train and arrived at the destination.

The whole journey of more than 1000 kilometers, stopped 6 times in the middle, and there was no speed-up train. A group of people sat in the carriage from 8:7 p.m. on the first day to 8 or [-] a.m. the next day. Hours.

It was the first time for many teenagers to go out so far. At first, there were some novelties, and the topics of conversation were quite lively, but after a long time, no amount of novelty could be worth the boring ten hours.Gradually all wilted down.

Even Wei Xiao and Wen Xiaoqing, who are usually the most active, were too lazy to talk in the end.

I sat and fell asleep in a daze, fell asleep and woke up, and when I finally arrived at the station, everyone was relieved.

When I got out of the car, I was groggy and wanted to find a place to lie down and have a good rest.

What everyone talked about when we set off before, such as taking a stroll first when we went to the place, has long been forgotten by now.

Although the train ride for more than ten hours is not as exhausting as a day of training or playing a day of competition, but the whole body is mellow, so don't think about it.

It has to be said that in many cases, official-official contact is more convenient and efficient.

The team leader, the official representative of Huizhou Province, Liu Ze, director of the Youth Department of the Provincial Sports Bureau, played a key role. Before the departure, everyone didn't know how, but they contacted the organizer by mobile phone on the way.

Therefore, after they arrived at the station, the organizer's bus rushed over and took them to the final destination, the QHD National Training Base.

The team leaders and coaches were busy with the registration and formalities, and it took very little time. Then, under the guidance of the event staff, they moved into their temporary residence.

According to the house number and registration number, 4-6 people lived in the dormitory one by one, put away their luggage, simply cleaned up, and reluctantly waited until the noon meal.

Then they finished eating the buffet arranged by the organizer, regardless of whether it was rich and rich. After eating, more than a dozen people just chatted casually, and walked back to the dormitory, treating it as a way to digest food.

Then, everyone returned to the dormitory, washed briefly, and then fell asleep.

More than a day, just like this, spent on the road and sleeping.

On the day when the Pengli team arrived at the base, all 18 participating teams also arrived one after another. This year's national U17 competition started today, which is considered to be the official start of the battle.

……

The next day, after a day's rest, the members of the Pengli team revived with full blood.

Early in the morning, more than a dozen people rushed to the competition gymnasium under the leadership of their team leaders and coaches. Today is not an official competition day, but the pre-competition technical and physical fitness assessment will begin today.

At 8:18 in the morning, all the [-] teams arrived, and after a leader's speech, the chief referee announced the start of the evaluation.

First, the four technical events in the volleyball hall, pad, serve, dunk, and block, are scored by the referees according to regulations.

The volleyball hall has a lot of space, and several teams can be evaluated at the same time, one after another, and it doesn't take much time.

18 teams, 14 people in each team, actually tested 12 people, took 10 best records, a total of 200 people, and finally completed all the tests before 12 o'clock in the morning.

During the evaluation period, including coaches and players, they also occasionally observed other opponents during the interval.

On Lin Mu's side, he also took time to look around.

It has to be said that at the national level, even at the amateur level, good skills can be grasped.

After all, technology still needs physical fitness to support it. For the vast majority of provincial and municipal teams, it seems that the most important tradition has always been to select those with excellent physical talents and then practice their physical fitness.

Moreover, in terms of material selection, the selection of materials in many provinces and cities is much wider than that of poor and poorly developed provinces.Even in many provinces and cities, they generally cast a wide net to dig around.

It is not surprising that people are generally tall and powerful, and their basic skills are not bad.

There are a few people who impressed him the most, but he only knows the team, and he doesn't know the specific name.

Although there are group groups for the competition and the competition schedule has been distributed to the teams, no one can say for sure what the actual strength and personal level of the players are, and whether the players and the team can give full play.

Therefore, the temporary ones are just kept in mind.

Actually, unbeknownst to him, he and his coach were watching other people, and other people were watching them too.The performance of him and a few teammates also left a deep impression on others.

Because it is still the era when professional players are restricted to participate in U17, those who can play at the youth level, in a certain age group, basically few can play for several consecutive terms, even two is very difficult.

People who perform well in such competitions will soon formally enter the professional and professional system, and naturally it is difficult to have the opportunity to roll around in youth amateur competitions.

Moreover, it is undeniable that many observers, including professionals from various provinces and cities.It is not surprising that in a game of chess across the country, it is not surprising to occasionally introduce top players from other provinces to supplement the reserve force.

At the end of the morning test, the results and rankings were not announced on the spot, and Lin Mu was not sure about their scores.However, according to Lin Mu's observation, the teammates basically performed at their normal level, and the Pengli team as a whole should not be too bad.

At noon lunch, more than 200 players plus the coaches of each team and some staff members, more than 300 people gathered.

It is still a buffet-style food supply, and the dishes and staple foods take care of the flavors of the north and the south, which can be described as dazzling and extremely rich.

Yesterday, because I was tired and weak, I didn't have the appetite to taste it. Moreover, because today is the first day of the gathering, the organizer made a lot of preparations, which made everyone eat happily.

After a satisfying lunch, I went back to rest for a while.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the players of the 18 teams started the afternoon test on time.

The physical fitness test is divided into five items, namely 30-meter standing start, run-up touch height, half-meter movement, 2 kg medicine ball frontal throw with both hands, and 1500-meter running.

The scoring standards and testing methods are based on the "Huaxia Youth Volleyball Teaching and Training Outline".

It is not difficult to find out from the physical fitness evaluation items, which are roughly the considerations of speed, bounce, agility, explosiveness, strength and endurance.

Whether it is perfect science is hard to say, but at least these items are related to the comprehensive physical quality required for volleyball.

Compared with the technical test in the morning, the physical fitness test in the afternoon is much more tiring, and the weather is really hot.

For several hours, in the airtight and sweltering indoor arena, a group of players were busy running and jumping, sweating layer after layer, and gradually getting a little irritable.

At the end of the whole test, almost everyone seemed to be not full of energy. Finally, when all the tests were over, no one wanted to stay in the gymnasium anymore.

Teams of people hurriedly left the gymnasium, went back to different places, took a shower and blow on the fan, and they felt more comfortable.

After he settled down, he started to care about the results of the evaluation and the upcoming competition.

The evaluation results and so on are just for discussion, and they are not too entangled, although the overall evaluation situation of the Pengli team is not very good.

However, according to the weighting of several scores in the event, as long as the results are not too low, as long as they can get a good ranking in the official competition, the final overall ranking will not be low.

If it is in the mid-range, as long as the competition can win the top three, the final overall ranking will basically not exceed the top three.

According to Lin Mu's observation and understanding of his teammates, he is still confident in getting a mid-range result.

In the afternoon, Team Leader Liu and Coach Lu didn't come to the evaluation site, they just went to participate in the pre-competition meeting organized by the organizer and contractor.It is estimated that today's test results will be known later.

What should be considered is the next group competition.

The 18 teams are divided into 4 groups, with 4-5 teams in each group, using a single round-robin event, and the entire group stage only takes two days.

That is to say, within 2 days, each team will play three games in less than two days, and four games in more.

Fortunately, the national U17 group competition is determined by two wins in three games. The competition is divided into 9:4 am and 4 pm.Moreover, Lin Mu and the others are in a group with only [-] teams, and they only need to play three games in two days.

One game on the first day and two games on the second day, it was a little easier than other teams.

"Captain, how about our opponent tomorrow?"

During dinner time, the members of the Pengli team picked food in the restaurant, and a group of people gathered around a big table, discussing while eating.

After a month of struggle and integration, the current Pengli team finally has a normal structure of a team, with leaders, main players, and substitutes. The organization is finally clear.

At least on the surface, there is no barrier anymore, and we can work together to play well in this competition.

The main lineup didn't change much in the end, and the people who were designated as substitutes seemed to take it easy. Gradually, the 10 or so people got along much more harmoniously than at the beginning.

It was Luo Yiming who had just wanted to take the position of Li Feng's first officer who had been asking the question.

It can be said that among all the people who came in late, the one who rushed to the position most fiercely was Luo Yiming.

He is a high school student in Luzhou No. 12 Middle School. However, he used to be from the provincial youth team, earlier than Li Muheng, the provincial youth captain. He entered the provincial youth team at the age of [-] and played for two years. Overall, his results were good.

However, due to various reasons, he chose to quit the Provincial Youth Team that year when the new and old teams were changing, and transferred to a local middle school.

Then he went to junior high school and senior high school step by step. Last year, he entered Luzhou No. [-] Middle School, joined the volleyball team of Luzhou No. [-] Middle School, and quickly became the main force of No. [-] Middle School.It is conceivable that he has not given up on volleyball these years.

It was just because the provincial youth volleyball competition that the school team of Luzhou No. [-] Middle School participated in was not in the same age group as Lin Mu and the others. He had never met the Pengli team. Intersection of players.

However, at the age of 16, the qualifications of the first year of high school can represent the school team as the main force to participate in the competition of the age group of 18 years old, its strength can be imagined.At least among the top-notch teams of the Luzhou No. [-] Middle School.

After arriving, he made up his mind from the beginning. After understanding the basic situation, he basically connected the connections with the less advanced people.

Well, the word "connection" is not very good. In his words, it means to improve their competitiveness and improve themselves to fight for their position and value in the team.

After observing for a while, he quickly locked his target on Li Feng.Although the coach didn't say it, Li Feng was a former member of the Pengli team. Moreover, his height and body shape, as well as the technical conditions he observed, were enough for him to pay attention to, at least they were the priority of the main force.

He didn't intend to accept it passively.

After the training started, he quickly got involved, and he was really active and hardworking.Moreover, taking advantage of the few days when Li Feng's mentality was most ups and downs, he faintly fought against Li Feng.

However, in the end, because Li Feng, Lin Mu, and Han Chen were able to cooperate better, he was defeated. However, he also won the role of assistant and deputy attacker in rotation with the free man Wei Xiao, which can be regarded as a regular main force. a member of the

Lin Mu's impression of Luo Yiming is actually good. Regardless of the fact that he just started to build a small group, he said that he will not give up such an attitude and spirit, and he will not be outdated at any time, and it is worthy of praise.

It's just a pity that, like most amateur players, Luo Yiming's basic skills are a little lacking.

Moreover, he has not insisted on professional physical training for several years, and in terms of physical fitness and physical strength, he is finally inferior to Li Feng.

Lin Mu was about to answer Luo Yiming's question, when Han Chen opened his mouth first, "Old Luo, what's the use of asking this? Brother Mu is with us all day long, and he's still training for some time. It's impossible for him to be better than us. To know more about the current team players, wait for the coach tonight.

Our game tomorrow is in the afternoon. According to the coach's habit, we will definitely have a small meeting to analyze it tonight.Tomorrow morning there will be a simple training to keep the heat and feel, ready to wait for the game! "

Luo Yiming nodded noncommittally, but he still looked at Lin Mu. He really wanted to hear Lin Mu's analysis.

After almost blending in, the more he became familiar with him, the more he realized that this Captain Lin Mu was amazing.

Level or something, this is not discussed, he is now a player of the provincial team, and there is only one thing to register.

What he admires even more is that Lin Mu treats his own training and the training of his teammates, and even includes the ability to understand and analyze the players' technical and tactical advantages and disadvantages.

These days, after observing, he also began to consciously ask Lin Mu some questions.As for the analysis Lin Mu gave him, after he tried it, he really benefited a lot.

This ability is really powerful.

"It's okay to ask, but like Lao Han said, I really don't know much about it!"

Luo Yiming's eyes were full of curiosity, Lin Mu smiled and shook his head, "Our three team opponents, Jingu Sports School, Dongshan Sports Institute High School, and Quanzhou Junior Sports School, all I know is their past results.

But this past performance is actually of little reference value to our amateur youth team.However, judging from the provinces where they are located, the whole volleyball background has decisive significance..."

The teammates nodded one after another. Jin City is a municipality directly under the central government. The economic foundation determines the superstructure and also determines the sports foundation. They are good in all sports.

Dongshan is an old-fashioned sports province in the north, and Fujian Province, needless to say, has been the top province of domestic volleyball since the 80s, but it has been slightly defeated since the 90s.But the overall background is still there, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Lin Mu didn't say anything specific. In fact, everyone knew that each school unit participated in the competition, but at this point, the teams from various provinces and cities were still playing against the true youth background of each school.

These are the default rules. Isn't it the same for Hui Province this time?

This is only the current situation. In a few years, all youth-level competitions will be completely open.The qualifications for the competition will even give priority to young players with professional status.

At that time, it will be a consideration of the comprehensive volleyball strength of a province and city.They have almost no background in Huizhou now, and they can only start from the current batch.
