men's volleyball

Chapter 243

On August 8, the penultimate match day of the competition, the semi-finals of this U17 competition officially kicked off.

In the second stage, the top two teams in the two groups will cross each other to determine tomorrow's final places.

Probably in order to gather the popularity of the audience, the organizing committee gathered the two semi-finals in the same venue and played them one after another. The interval between the games was not long, and the first game will be held at 2:[-] pm.

The first team to play is the Pengli team. They will face the No.2 Dongshan Changyi Foreign Language School in the second group of the second stage.

two o'clock in the afternoon,

Base No. [-] Volleyball Hall.

I don't know if the arrangement of the organizing committee played a role, or if entering the semi-finals today is the real climax of this competition.

In Hall [-] today, there were indeed a lot more spectators than in previous games.

The upper and lower rows of spectator seats, which can accommodate thousands of people, are divided into half and half in the front row on both sides of the court, which match the patterned seats of the upper spectator seats, plus some slogan banners.

Combined, it looks like the audience is full.

Therefore, when the players from both sides walked into the field to warm up in the first match, they felt surrounded by the distant gazes of the audience and the buzzing voices of various people.

It made people feel emotional in an instant. Before the game started, the players who entered the field felt like they wanted to start the game immediately.

Lin Mu moved his hands and feet, looking around, and he also had this feeling in his heart.

Hall No. [-] is the main volleyball hall of the base, and it is also a professional volleyball hall. Before that, all their games were held in Hall No. [-], which is a basketball and volleyball hall.

Compared with the comprehensive basketball and volleyball Hall No. [-], the facilities and design of Hall No. [-] for volleyball are undoubtedly more professional than Hall No. [-], including some designs that are more suitable for volleyball players' emotions and state stimulation. .

The sports floor is smooth and non-slip, and the dome is tens of meters high and criss-crossed, but it does not make people feel deep and lofty.

Surrounded by Linmu's unreasonable angle and distribution design, the auditorium is stepped, with upper and lower levels. After sitting on the audience, people in the venue feel surrounded by human bodies and human voices, and do not feel oppressed.

There are several arenas he has been in before, training and competition, school, provincial and division competitions, including the provincial team, all the arenas did not have this feeling.

It has to be said that the professionalism of the national base is worthy of recognition.

With spectators and an environment, it is even more important to show the team's better competitive state.

Lin Mu didn't think about it any more, and after explaining to his teammates, he officially started warming up.

Jogging and stretching, moving the wrists and joints, pressing the legs, stretching the ligaments, and then there are two or three players to warm up with the ball.

Passes, dunks, dunks, dunks, the whole warm-up was going on in an orderly manner.

The players' emotions brought about by the environment in the early stage slowly settled down. After some warm-up adjustments, they officially entered the rhythm of the game after the warm-up was over.

auditorium.

There are indeed a lot of spectators today. Apart from the teams and some related people, there are also a lot of people who actually watch the game.

Therefore, when the players warmed up after leaving the field, the voice of discussion also sounded from time to time.

Probably some people who know it, give their companions popular science about the players on both sides of the game.

Eyes followed the active players one after another, and sometimes they would be a little more excited when they talked about some wonderful things they learned.

The atmosphere in the stadium gradually heated up with the discussions one after another.

Almost half an hour passed, and the warm-up was over.

Players from both teams returned to their respective team areas.

The game is about to start, the starting lineups of both sides have been arranged, and the personnel are handed over to the scorer's table.

Then, under the auspices of the referee, the captains of the two sides choose sides, choose the service and the venue, and then the coach and the captain sign in front of the scoreboard for confirmation.

After a few minutes, everything is ready.

After the referee confirmed the situation of the players on both sides for the last time, he blew a whistle to indicate that the game officially started!
"what!"

"here……"

"Mine, mine!"

"Save me..."

"kill……"

"..."

On the court, various shouting instructions and imposing shouts from players on both sides sounded from time to time.

It may be that the atmosphere today is really good, and occasionally you can hear a lot of applause from the audience. Therefore, including many players of the Pengli team, they are more excited today.

The game was very passionate, and the game between the two sides seemed to be creating a kind of enthusiasm from the very beginning.

Lin Mu didn't change much, but because of his opponents and teammates around him, he was somewhat moved.

It's just that he is more stable, he is used to putting himself between passion and stability, or the old saying, he prefers the feeling of dominating and controlling everything on the court.

Moreover, he has always used his own reason to stabilize the normal operation of the entire team.

After all, the Pengli team is different from many other youth teams. What they rely on is not the passion and physical drive of teenagers, but a mature technical and tactical system.

Passion can drive the atmosphere of the game and the emotions of the players, but it cannot be allowed to wander and let emotions dominate the process of the game.

"Go away!"

It was another ball, and Jiang Li's face was flushed with a bang, and he completed another powerful smash.

The score at this time was 15:13, and the Pengli team led by two points.

The two sides played fiercely, but neither of the two teams took too much lead. The scores rose alternately, and the players showed their performances.

This game has been played until now, and the current situation, both in terms of the situation and the score, seems to show that this is an evenly matched, intense, and anxious game.

But isn't it really evenly matched?At least two players on both sides who are more dominant don't think so, and they all have something to be dissatisfied with.

"Little Jiang, you played well!"

Lin Mu, as always, praised Jiang Li for his beautiful smash with the word "nice".

From the point of view of the spike itself, it is indeed quite beautiful. The timing of the spike, the strength and technique of the spike, as well as the choice and angle of the spike at the moment of the opportunity, can be called excellent.

Jiang Li is very happy. Today he feels that he has found a lot of the happiness he used to play in the past.

The feeling of traveling the arena, overcoming obstacles, and exhilarating and passionate from the inside out.

Therefore, he was very excited to play today. The tactics and strong attack in the front row were sonorous and powerful, and he played with passion. Even when he was in the back row, he was full of excitement when receiving serve and smashing the ball.

It's just that this excitement, after a little bit, made him occasionally wander on the verge of losing control.

Even the conscious cooperation that had been played in the previous few games is much less today.

Lin Mu shook his head secretly, praise is nothing but praise, but Lin Mu is not satisfied with Jiang Li's actual situation.

After all, Jiang Li lacked a little view of the overall situation of the team. The current Jiang Li can only be regarded as a quasi-excellent attacker, and may not even be considered the real core of the offense. At least in the Pengli team, there is no certain overall situation. An attacker with a tactical concept is not counted!

He didn't talk about it now, and these things can't be understood immediately by just saying a few words. Moreover, in the game, at least Jiang Li's current offensive performance is good.

In the previous period, it can be said that Jiang Li's performance was the most eye-catching in the offensive of the entire Pengli team.Among them, he actually made a lot of good shots and scored a lot of points.

He also didn't want to pour cold water on Jiang Li at this time.

Lin Mu patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and gave him encouragement.

However, after all, he still expressed a little bit, and then he stretched out his palms, palms down, and made a downward pressing movement.

Jiang Li was slightly stunned from the excitement, and he seemed to have reacted immediately.

Suddenly, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

When he was in Jiuzi before, the teachers and coaches at that time, including the old captain, also said that some people in him were crazy.

However, this evaluation is mostly praiseworthy, because most of the time, in the competition of teenagers or young people, this kind of madness can play a lot of role in driving the atmosphere and momentum, and I can often play a good performance.

But as Jiang Li grew up, he also understood the derogatory side of it. It's okay to be crazy, but you can't get carried away with it.

Especially after the provincial team training and Pengli team training, he understood more about the responsibilities of a main attacker on the field besides playing offensive balls. hand, how to play.

The more I think about it, the more I understand it.

In the previous few games, he also found some awareness from Lin Mu's teaching and his own understanding, and he is gradually allowing himself to play this awareness.

Generally speaking, he didn't play brilliantly, but he knew that this should be a key step for him to progress towards excellence, so even if it wasn't very good, he kept working hard.

The teammates, the captain, always supported him, even though he made a lot of mistakes.

But today, he was excited to play. When he first started a few shots, he still had some control in his heart, but he was playing, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as forgetful.

At this moment, Lin Mu's expression is still faint, with a faint smile, almost the same as usual, but this lightness, a gesture of pressing down, brought Jiang Li back to his senses.

"Brother Mu, haha, I got a little excited when I played, and I will pay attention later!"

Jiang Li didn't know how to explain his feelings, so he could only say something in such an embarrassing way.

"It's okay, Xiao Jiang!"

Lin Mu still smiled lightly, he raised his hand and touched Jiang Li's head, as usual, without violating harmony.

He could react in an instant, and he didn't think that he, the captain, deliberately suppressed the attacker's performance. Lin Mu thought it was very good.

In this case, he can say a few words first, so he said: "Emotional players are not necessarily bad. Both attackers and defenders can play with passion. If they can grasp themselves in passion, maybe they can also play with passion." Can have a wonderful performance beyond itself.

However, the premise is that this passion can be within one's own control.Also, while you are passionate, you can't leave your on-court responsibilities, if that is the case, it is not smart.There is no good player who is not smart! "

"Ok!"

Jiang Li nodded silently, humming in his nasal cavity.

At the same time, the original excitement on his face also faded a little.

Lin Mu is satisfied. Jiang Li's consciousness and spirituality are good after all. As for whether he can really combine consciousness and passion to perform better, that is a matter of tempering.

"Continue to play! Be steady!"

"Yes!"

For the Pengli team, after a brief sentence or two, everyone responded in unison and prepared to start the game again.

As for the players of the Dongshan Changyi team, they were not very satisfied with the previous game. At this time, when the game was about to continue, they looked at the situation of the opposite Pengli team, and they were even more dissatisfied.

In the game against the "weak" Pengli team with the players as a whole, they failed to show their due level of advantage.

At least it is their own advantage.

What are the characteristics of the Dongshan team?He is tall and big, with a strong but flexible body.

Especially in defense, whether it is blocking in front of the net or defending the ground ball, they can show their physical excellence when playing against the previous team.

Cooperating with the offense of wide opening and closing, hard bridge and hard horse, they can be said to have played very well in the previous games.

Who doesn't know, Dongshan Changyi is a team with top quality players and a balanced offense and defense.

Even in the only game they lost against Jincai Middle School, their physical advantage was obvious enough.

They lost, but only lost in the organization of the offense. In the end, it was because the opponent was too average, and the success rate of the tactical offense was higher than them. What was dragged down by Jincai Middle School in anxiety was not the loss in the offense and defense itself.

And today...

I knew about the Pengli team earlier, and the coach commented on them as a team with outstanding players in average, core leadership, and good overall tactics.

This morning, they also simulated some of the usual offensive balls played by the Pengli team based on some data from the Pengli team.

From their point of view, the Pengli team is about the same as Jincai, and compared to Jincai, the outstanding players must be slightly weaker.

As for some of the comments I heard, how about the opponent's core players and important players, it is probably easier to stand out among a group of mediocre players.

When they were just warming up today, they had a close look at the players of the Pengli team, and they really looked "weak".

It is basically in line with their impression, and they also think that today's game should not be difficult.

If you win the game and make it to the finals, you may have the chance to avenge your admission to Cai Middle School.

However, after the game started, they played anxiously with each other.So that the score failed to lead, and even fell behind.

Moreover, being played so smoothly and powerfully by the opponent's non-core players makes it difficult for them, who have always prided themselves on their defensive strength and stability, to deal with themselves.

The players of Changyi School didn't understand, but whether they understood it or not, they had already made up their minds that they must be stronger in the next game.

Even if they don't talk about too many tactical routines, they still don't believe it. The opponent's arms and legs are thin, can they really stop their attack?

Even for defense, although the players of the Pengli team prefer to play from the angle of the line, and the weight of offense is not low, but if we control the front of the net well, will their defense have a success rate of more than 5%?
If the success rate of one's own defense exceeds 5%, then it is safe to win the opponent.

At least it won't let the opponent's non-core players play so recklessly.

As far as they know, the opponent's core player is not the main attacker.And the opponent's core doesn't seem to play much.

No matter how confident they are in their own family, it is impossible for them to really doubt that in a team that can maintain a complete victory and reach the semi-finals, their core players are just a decoration.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, no matter what the players on both sides thought, the game would continue.

Both sides re-entering the game, the thinking of some players has more or less changed. As for what kind of changes can be brought to the game, it depends on the next game.

In short, the Dongshan Changyi players are full of ambition, vowing to play to their advantage, vowing to win the Pengli team and advance to the final.

But just now, they were still annoyed that the opponent was not the most important player to perform, and another player of the Pengli team who was not the core or important player took the lead.
