Chapter 266

Last ball!

Last ball!

……

On and off the field, when Jiang Li was standing in the teeing area holding the ball and waiting for the referee to blow his whistle, he was meditating in his heart.

His voice was actually the voice of everyone on and off the court.

At this time, the score had reached 24:19, and the Pengli team took an absolute advantage of 5 points to get the game point of the third game, which was also the match point of the game.

It was Jiang Li's turn to serve, and he hoped that the game would end with him.

To be honest, today's game went very smoothly, from the beginning to the present, it is the smoothest game among all the games.

Moreover, he fully showed the strong posture of the Pengli team.

Unfortunately, at this moment today, he is not the protagonist.

Well, he actually didn't want to be the absolute protagonist, but scoring and offense are two things he values ​​more, and he didn't show them to his heart's content, which is somewhat regrettable.

Lin Mu is the protagonist today, both in reality and in appearance.

He wasn't jealous or anything. Originally, there was an arrangement like today, and he was also a part of it. He also participated in yesterday's consensus, and he supported it from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, he is somewhat selfish. He hopes that in today's arrangement, he can make some partial comparisons with Lin Mu in a certain sense.

Convinced is convinced, he has always had the motivation to compare.

However, in today's game, he saw more gaps, bigger gaps than he imagined.

Although Lin Mu was the absolute target of today's game, he had also had some opportunities because of the organization of Han Chen and Li Muheng.But if you compare the good or bad of the opportunity with the situation Lin Mu is facing, you will feel deeply.

It made him feel more inexplicable emotions while regretting.

In the face of double blocks, he also scored, but he definitely did not have as high a success rate as Lin Mu. Moreover, he felt that what he lacked most should be the temperament displayed by Lin Mu.

Of course, it doesn't stop there...

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of what Coach Li had said to him on the sidelines not long ago.

That was when he was on the break, Coach Li called him to point to Lin Mu's performance on the court and what he said.

Coach Li: "Do you think Lin Mu's offensive skills are good?"

At that time, Jiang Li felt that his eyes must be speechless.

Because, there is no need to judge whether it is good or not.

In the face of a single block, the success rate is almost [-]%.In the face of a two-person block, the success rate is sixty to seventy, or even seventy to eighty. Even a three-person block with an adjusted attack has a high success rate.

Serving, re-balling, adjusting the back row, etc., are both powerful and comprehensive. What's more, in addition to offense, he also has defense and organization.

Coach Li then asked: "Then why has... Lin Mu never had much direct attack and strong offensive performance?"

Jiang Li was speechless again.

At this time, Coach Li smiled, "Because we still have attackers, you, Ronaldinho, and even Xiao Zhou and Xiao Li."

At that time, Jiang Li was very touched.

The few of them did take up most of the offensive opportunities. Perhaps in many cases, if Lin Mu rushed directly, his offensive efficiency might be better than theirs. Today's game is proof.

He was somewhat moved.

The coach and captain are indeed supporting their performance.

But before he was moved, Coach Li said again: "Actually, there is nothing to feel or be moved. Who to use and how to use it are the coach's arrangement. Well, your captain also participated in the suggestion and was approved by the coach. .

In fact, it is also based on your actual situation, from the perspective of making use of the team's development and benefiting your growth.

Since you have been chosen, it proves that your abilities can be used.It can be arranged like this, and it is not wrong to be able to go online, but it is true that you have many shortcomings.

To put it bluntly..."

Jiang Li can still remember the way Coach Li looked at him at that time, which made him feel encouraged, but also ashamed, even ashamed.

"To put it bluntly, because in the previous games, Lin Mu could play the whole game, he could play support, and he could also organize and dispatch your offense to drive your offense and defense. But the other way around, you can't!"

At that time, Jiang Li was looking up at the dome of the arena. He felt that if he met Coach Li's eyes again, he was afraid that he would bow his head in shame.

Yes, very ashamed.

Coach Li's words were indeed straightforward and touched his pride, but he couldn't refute them, and even resentment and shame would arise in his heart.

The fact is that in order to realize the value and growth of the team, Lin Mu made sacrifices and concessions in some aspects.This is for the growth of teammates, but also for the team.

And what about them...

The cold reality told them that they were not even qualified to sacrifice.

"Haha, don't be ashamed!"

Perhaps seeing Jiang Li's emotional changes, Coach Li went on to say: "Today's game proved that all the efforts of Lin Mu and the team before were fruitful.

Take a look, have you sacrificed or made concessions in your performance today?It is precisely because of your sincere assistance that Lin Mu showed himself and the team played an amazing performance today.

This is what all our coaches, your captains really want to see, this is your real growth..."

"beep~"

When the serve whistle sounded, Jiang Li adjusted his breathing and relaxed his muscles for the last time.

"1...2...3!"

"boom!"

Counting down to three seconds, he took two steps and rose into the air.

When the ball reached the highest point, Jiang Li gathered all his strength and swung his arm fiercely.

The ball rushed out, carrying all Jiang Li's thoughts and feelings over the past few months, and carrying his experience and growth perception into the distance.

The ball was released, the man landed, and he ran back to the court quickly.

However, when he stepped into the court and stood in a position to stand ready, the referee's whistle had already sounded.

"Roar!"

"Xiao Jiang! Beautiful!"

"Haha, I won!"

"Champion...champion!"

"..."

I scored straight from the serve.

My serve is finally the last ball!
While his teammates were celebrating for him and the team, Jiang Li was completely relaxed while being satisfied.

Wei Xiao, Han Chen, Luo Yiming, Zhou Ting, as well as Li Feng and Li Muheng who were rushing towards them from the sidelines, and Lin Mu, who was always smiling calmly, reached out to touch his head at this moment.

The noise of the auditorium, the cheers and celebrations of teammates, the silence, depression, and even a few scenes of relief and relief on the opposite side.

This is the situation.

Scenes of the past, every sentence he was a little embarrassed at first, then gradually touched, and now the words that are particularly sentimental surfaced.

"What is the core of competitive sports? Is it performance? Is it shining in front of others?"

This was the answer Wei Xiao gave him when he asked Wei Xiao why he had such a good technique and performance, but why his presence was so low.

He told him that this was what his brother Mu said, and he thought it made sense.

"The most common thing about competitive sports is cruelty, because no matter how much effort and sweat you put in, the rewards may not give you equal returns. On the contrary, once you relax, reality will immediately hit you head-on and make people defeated , and even make people disappear.”

This is what Zhou Ting said when he once chatted with Zhou Ting about training, and when he lamented that Zhou Ting worked too hard.

Similarly, he also knew that this was what Lin Mu said when Zhou Ting was in the junior class of the sports school.

"A team is a collection of all individuals. Who needs to do more and who can do less. His initial measurement can only be because of the team. These two words are not just a collection of individuals..."

This was what Lin Mu casually said in a chat at a certain moment.

"At a certain moment, standing on a high podium, listening to the national anthem and watching the flag fluttering, this is the ultimate goal of all sportsmen. But before the final goal, some people will fall, and some people will fade away.

But even if you retreat, you can't gain nothing.Competitive sports is a journey, and in this journey, there should be beauty in the hard work, fatigue and boredom..."

This period of competition journey is over.

What is the harvest?What is beauty?

At this moment, Jiang Li seemed to understand a lot.

In an instant, he restrained all his emotions.

At this moment, he seemed to be extraordinarily restrained.

"Xiao Jiang, you played very well!"

"Wei Xiao, remember our words..."

"Old Han..."

"Old Zhou..."

"Little Wen..."

"..."

On one side of the field, more than a dozen players gathered together cheerfully, vaguely surrounding Lin Mu in the middle, and Lin Mu was also smiling, not brilliant, but extraordinarily gentle and heart-warming.

Lin Mu was talking to his teammates one by one, either in praise, or affirmation, or a few words of advice.

A few minutes later, the joy and excitement subsided, and a bit of reluctance gradually emerged in everyone's heart.

They were the final champions of the 1999 National U17 Youth Men's Volleyball Championship.

A team of more than ten teenagers from Huizhou became the champion team at this level!
It's an honor and a pinnacle moment for this current team.

However, from the moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, this championship team reached the finish line.

With the arrival of the end, the next step will be to divide things, how can people not feel sad.

"Be happy, we are the champions!"

"In the future, I, you, and everyone will have various gains."

"Here today, I have a suggestion, well, it can be regarded as our private agreement..."

"No matter where the future is, wherever we go, if one day..."

"..."

Lin Mu and his teammates were making their final agreement, and then, everyone secretly kept the agreement in their hearts.

Perhaps many people know that for them, this agreement may be realized very little, but it does not affect them. They regard this agreement as the real sustenance of this journey.

sidelines,

Coach Li looked at the group of teenagers from a distance, from being happy, excited to slightly sad-like depression, and at this moment, the teenagers regained their vitality.

Although he didn't go there, he could probably guess what was going on.

Because, in his decades of career as an athlete and coach, he has personally participated in moments like this, and has seen many of them.

It's just that, compared to the past, some people in the current branch may have a broader future.

Especially the boy who can always draw the emotions of his teammates.

Let him sigh.

The team members have a lot of insights, and he has a lot of feelings in just over a month.

Lin Mu's performance, some things Lu Lin said, and some things he did were the source of his feelings.

What he said to some players, these feelings are indispensable.

It has to be said that some people are not destined to be ordinary.

"Old Li!"

While Coach Li was feeling alone, Director Liu hurried over.

At this moment, Director Liu's face was full of red, with a bright smile on his face.

Today the Pengli team won the championship, which naturally made him happy, and, no matter from the perspective of laymen or experts, the performance was extremely wonderful.

Perhaps, in his heart, there is still some inhuman satisfaction of his leader.

In his position, there will be no shortage of dealings with sports people.

Some are really capable, but they seem to have exceptional personalities, and some are of average level but know how to handle things. He can see it very clearly.

But no matter which one, to be honest, he doesn't like it very much.

Of course, whether you like it or not, you still have to do things after all, but at most it’s just a matter of business.

And this time, his initial attitude was the same, so at the beginning, he was far away.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Lin left, he got along well because of his mission and responsibility.

Not only the coach, but even the players made him feel unexpectedly comfortable.

Especially today, that kid, caused a shock to his half-layman.

He now has reason to believe that this will be a rising star in the true sense.

"Liu Chu, everything is ready?"

"Haha! Of course, you are charging forward, how can I even stretch my hips for such a thing."

"Old Li, are you going to ask the players to prepare? Clean up and show the spirit of our province..."

Coach Li shook his head, "Wait a minute, give them some time. There are still more than 20 minutes left, there is still time!"

"Uh?"

Director Liu looked at Coach Li and looked at the field again, and suddenly found that something seemed wrong.

Coach Li smiled. It is difficult for someone who has never been an athlete to participate in a collective sports team to understand this feeling.

Seeing what Director Liu wanted to ask, Coach Li explained a little bit, "After getting the honor, we have to separate. I feel a little bit emotional. Especially the boys in this team are generally precocious!"

Director Liu nodded thoughtfully.

After being told by Coach Li, he couldn't help but think a lot, but he didn't care about the separation or not.

Mainly individual players.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the audience.

The distance is not close, and it is almost impossible to see the faces among the heads clearly, but he is sure that there are many people staring at these teenagers in the field at the moment.

Even he could imagine the look in those eyes.

At this moment, most of his joy and excitement just now were washed away in an instant.

I called the province yesterday, and new instructions came at the same time.

After confirming the results of today's game, while there were surprises, his mission was also launched.

This kid, a smart kid, is quite likable, but it seems that he is not good at communicating.

There are also those who are eyeing, and there are some follow-up things.

It's okay, it's okay, just need another two days of headaches.

Just these two days, let others have a headache for the rest.

The two fell silent on the sidelines, not disturbing the players on the field.

Because of the upcoming awards, they didn't spend too long on the court.

After the players from both sides shook hands, everyone exited the field.

More than half an hour later, when the players of the Pengli team stood in the center of the field and pulled up the flag, excitement and excitement surged in their hearts again.

Bright smile, excited face, can't wait to roar loudly.

At this moment, all the team members have temporarily put aside the troublesome things, enjoying the honor should be the main purpose of the moment, and this moment belongs to them.

Lin Mu was also smiling, but at the moment he was extraordinarily calm.

This journey is really over, and the next one is about to begin.

At this moment, he secretly made a decision in his heart.
