men's volleyball

Chapter 6 Ideals and Realities

out of the office,

Lu Lin led Lin Mu and the two of them through the corridor at a leisurely pace, then went downstairs again, and walked to the lobby on the first floor.

He didn't say a word during the whole process, until he reached the door, Lu Lin stood still silently, staring into the distance.

Wei Xiao beside him cast some urging little eyes from time to time, Lin Mu only patted Wei Xiao lightly, and after a little reassurance, he also quietly stood beside Coach Lu.

Maybe it's because he has some mature ideas in his mind, at this moment he always feels a kind of subtlety creeping in.It was very familiar, and he could catch some specious feelings in his memory, which made him not want to break the silence for a while.

It was getting dark gradually, and the heat in the campus was gradually dissipating.

A little farther away, there were still people active, and sporadic cheers and shouts of excitement and excitement pierced into their ears as the wind blew faintly.

The three people at the front and the back were silent, and when the residual heat was still there, and the hustle and bustle of the day had not yet dissipated, it always seemed a bit eerie.

Lin Mu saw some different emotions from Coach Lu's sideways back.

Coach Lu who is kind, casual and serious, and Coach Lu who is lonely, thinking back, seems a bit hollow and confused. Suddenly, Lin Mu had some strange empathy.

"Coach Lu..."

Seemingly unable to bear this waiting any longer, Wei Xiao finally couldn't help but speak.

"Ha ha!"

Coach Lu seemed to have just come back to his senses, smiled, turned to face the two teenagers, glanced across their faces, and nodded imperceptibly.

"When people get old, they will always get stuck in the past occasionally. When they think about things, they tend to be distracted. Wait?!"

Lin Mu shook his head lightly. To be honest, he is not really old. Lu Lin, who is in his 30s, is 1 meters tall by visual inspection.

It should be a long-term sports relationship, except for not tidying up his appearance, he is a well-groomed uncle-level vicissitudes of life.

Even this different kind of vicissitudes of life only added a little different charm to this middle-aged coach.

People who seem to have a lot of stories.

Lin Mu silently gave an attributive word in his heart.

"More than 20 years ago, I remember one day..."

"This is also the office building. It was quite new at the time, and the campus was not as big as it is now. The site and greenery are much worse. I remember more of those slogans. At that time, I and two other classmates also Running into the office building like you two..."

"It's been so many years, just for a moment I had the illusion of reincarnation..."

Lin Mu was facing Coach Lu's gaze, and there seemed to be some shadows of memories sliding in Coach Lu's eyes.He pulled Wei Xiao, stopped Wei Xiao from speaking, and only waited for Coach Lu's next words.

Lin and Mu didn't ask Lin and Mu to answer, Lu Lin shook his head with a smile, and took back the momentary divergence, "Don't talk about that, let's talk about the two of you..."

"The school's regulations are there. There is no coach leading the team at night, and students are not allowed to stay in the library, but..."

Lin Mu had already heard the meaning, and then confirmed it, "Then if there is a coach leading the team, there will be no problem, right?"

"Haha, yes, it seems that you are only superficially bored, but you still have brains!"

Coach Lu laughed and made a joke.He was not unhappy at all because Lin Mu interrupted his turning point.

He still has brains, so it doesn't sound like a good thing to say.Lin Mu couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Coach Lu, is it too troublesome to delay your evening time? Why don't you leave the door open for us, and we will practice by ourselves in your name?"

After talking about it now, Lin Mu didn't understand what Coach Lu meant to take them to train at night. If he didn't understand, then he really had to talk about the brain problem.

"I live in a dormitory, and I'm fine at night. It's not a problem to practice with me. The old coach had a family and a house, and he was older than me now. It's not too troublesome for me. Naturally, it's not troublesome. .But, before that..."

Lu Lin waved his hand, pushed back the expressions of Lin and Mu, and continued: "The old coach asked me, and now I also ask you, do you like volleyball? Or, in your opinion, volleyball is what?"

"Of course I like it, Coach Lu..."

"Like? What is it?"

Wei Xiao's answer was affirmative, but Lin Mu didn't answer right away. He couldn't help but silently read the ordinary words in his heart.

I like it a little bit, but he knows that Coach Lu is not asking these simple two words.He understood what Coach Lu meant. Coach Lu could sacrifice his spare time to take them to practice.The purpose is not to satisfy their hobbies of sports school life.

And the meaning to be expressed, in the eyes of Lin Mu now, is a bit heavy.

Due to economic reasons and personal preferences, he entered a sports school and joined the track and field team. At that time, his emotions were surging, and he persistently liked middle and long-distance running events.At that time, the thought in his mind was that track and field might be his only pursuit in his sports age.

But by accident, he joined the volleyball group again. The feeling of being cut in half by a sudden change is so uncomfortable.As if he had no goal, he chose to be inferior, sensitive and rejected everything with resentment.

What now?
After straightening out his thoughts a little bit, Lin Mu thought about it: "Coach Lu, if you like it, you must like it. When I came from the track and field side, I just had some things that repelled the outside world, but I didn't have negative emotions about volleyball itself.

I have been in contact for a year, and I have some feelings for volleyball.What do you mean by volleyball?I don't feel very clear about it, but it is definitely the subject of our life and study. I think I should be able to keep going...

Workers work, students study, and all walks of life have their own responsibilities. As a student in a sports school, practicing hard should be what we should do.

Moreover, I thought, hold on, if you have some talent, maybe you can really develop something.Maybe become one of the strong players in the sports school, and maybe enter high school or even enter a higher-level team in the future.

Maybe we can squeeze into the provincial team, squeeze into the national team, volleyball, volleyball, no one can say for sure, only when we do it, can we know whether there is any. "

Lin Mu smiled sincerely and said it lightly, it seemed like he was joking.

It's just that he knew in his heart that he was not joking, he had really thought about it.

"Coach Lu, to tell you the truth, I like volleyball now, but I can't say I love it. I'm sure I can work hard on it. This should be my personal pursuit.

Volleyball is a part of sports, and sports are a part of our China.If I really can't practice famous tricks, then there's no way.But if there is something, maybe it can win glory for the country.

I’m young, so I can’t think about it in the long run, but if I can make some contributions to the country within my capacity, I think I can still…”

"it is good!"

Coach Lu looked at Lin Mu with satisfaction, nodded and smiled.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and a pair of dark eyes under his thick eyebrows revealed some special brilliance.

The 14-year-old boy, what he said just now made him see something different from what he knew, and his thinking was more mature than many, many people.

It is also more real and rational than many people who claim to love volleyball.

A sport is just a sport, apart from earning more and earning less, and the difference in status, it is really a career, a profession, how can there be so much love.

If it weren't for the fact that China was shrouded in red, sports itself was just a means of strengthening the body, so it was nothing.True love is only because it represents the country.

First and last, primary and secondary, should always be clear.

I can do this, I can only do this, then use my own efforts and persistence to hand in the only thing that can and will be done.Make a contribution within our ability for Huaxia Hongneng to go to the world and stand tall in the forest of the world.

"Little Lin, today you let me know you again. Remember what you said today, no matter how well you can play volleyball in the future, even if you do other jobs in the future, keep this heart..."

Coach Lu said slowly, since he is more mature in thought, from now on, he will no longer treat Lin Mu simply as a teenager.

Wei Xiao was a little dazed, with a curiosity like a cat scratching in his heart.

He listened to what the two of them said, and he understood every word, but after listening to everything, he didn't quite understand it.

He just felt that there seemed to be some special light shining on his good brother and coach.

He looked at this, then at that, and finally got no clue.

No matter, it should be a good thing anyway, Coach Lu should lead us to train, if I understand or not, I will just follow Lin Mu.

After figuring it out, Wei Xiao felt at ease.

"Thank you, Coach Lu, I think I can persevere!"

Lin Mu nodded affirmatively.

Lu Lin was satisfied and somewhat unexpected, and the expression on his face became more relaxed, "...Well, how familiar are you with some simple rules, styles of play, and theories of volleyball.

And your current basic volleyball skills are indeed a bit weak, and I will take you with you in the future.As for the location, you can set one first, but it is not critical now.

Volleyball is the divergence of basic skills. If the basic skills are not solid, everything else is nonsense.Let me tell you first, this provincial competition, don’t even think about it, I will not do surprise training for you to get into the lineup..."

When Coach Lu said this, he glanced left and right at the two teenagers.

Lin Mu nodded, while Wei Xiao was a little disappointed and lost.

He smiled. The thoughts expressed by the two teenagers who were about the same age were really quite different.

"Volleyball, together with basketball and football, is one of the three major balls in the world. But unlike football and basketball, which are talked about in the streets and alleys, volleyball is really not doing well now. The women's volleyball team is okay, it has honor, and we men are excluded from the Olympics. It reminds people that other times they're not at all."

"The World Cup, the World Championships, the Olympics, and the three major world competitions. If you add the World Men's Volleyball League, there are actually many games that you can pay attention to. But you probably know the situation."

"Those high-level ones are still far away from you. You are not even athletes now. As far as our sports school is concerned, you can see that volleyball can only stand aside. The situation in the province is even worse. Even the sports management under the Sports Bureau In the center, the three big balls are all just put together, the center of the ball game.

for what?Because there are no grades, because there is no attention, how do you get attention?It still depends on the results, and the results can only be achieved by practicing hard.Sports competition is not as simple and mechanical as many people imagine. It is not only about honor and contribution, but also more hard work and cruelty.

Even the honor of flowers for a while is not worth the passage of time, not to mention there are symbols that turn flowers into fertilizer.How much effort and sweat have been put in, and in the end, due to various reasons, or dragging injuries, it is even more unknown.Also truly brutal. "

"Let's not talk about the far and big ones now. Let's talk about our own, mine, yours, and reality. Now that we have done it, we should keep our original intention and strive to reach the highest position.

Going up, everything is there, and even standing in the middle of the field to win the trophy, everything is worth it.Even if you don't go up, at least don't let yourself regret what you did in the past..."

Coach Lu's tone was not very impassioned, on the contrary, it was flat and unhurried.But every word is more realistic and touching than the previous words.

At least Wei Xiao didn't have the ignorance just now, and Lin Mu felt the inadvertent traces of different emotions revealed in Coach Lu's words.

Ideal and reality can sometimes be synchronized, but more often there is only an unreachable distance!
Let's fight!
