men's volleyball

Chapter 81 The Last Day

11 month 20 day.

The last day of the 1998 Huizhou Youth Volleyball Competition (Men's Junior Group A).

15 pm.

There is still an hour until the last game of this tournament.

Luzhou Sports School Volleyball Hall,
A game has just ended, and after the game, the players of the two sides routinely completed the corresponding post-match etiquette and then left the field.

However, they didn't leave the arena. They just went back to the lounge, changed their clothes, packed their personal belongings, and then returned to the arena.

They sat in the auditorium under the leadership of their team leader and coach.

A lot of people came to the volleyball hall today, and people are still coming in one after another. With more and more people, the overall atmosphere of the volleyball hall is getting more and more lively.

On the field, the staff of the volleyball hall are removing the things from the previous game, busy arranging the preparations for the next game.

The scoreboards with the words of Luzhou Sports School and Fengfu Sports School were put away by the staff, and a sign with the words of the new team was hung on the sidelines, seemingly silently reminding them all the time.

For the players who just sat in the audience in the previous game, this scene made it difficult for them to have too much joy.

The same goes for the team that just won a game.

Oh, they are the owners of this arena, the Luzhou Sports School team.

At this moment, they were even a little bit on pins and needles from the eyes of some visitors who occasionally swept over.

In their arena, they can only act as spectators at the last moment, and also act as green leaves for teams they didn't care about before. These sporadic pointing and talking made them somewhat embarrassed.

Pretending not to care, trying to maintain a steady state, but knowing the pain in his heart.

For them, it was a very failed journey for them. They won the last game victory in their ranking competition, but the competition is not over yet.

Their competition at the Luzhou Sports School was not the biggest event of this year's competition, which is a shame in itself.

The schedule of the game was actually arranged long ago, including the ranking match in the final stage.

There are two games in this arena today, one starts at 13 o'clock and the other starts at 16 o'clock.What can be played in the last match, naturally, should be the match that determines the title of the champion.

Originally, the match and schedule had been roughly arranged in the third stage of grouping. At 16:[-] in the afternoon, it was the match between Luzhou Sports School Team and Fengfu Sports School Team.

But there is no way, the first two games, Luzhou team and Fengfu team lost.Their final championship and runner-up final match that was expected in the third stage of the schedule is gone.

The organizing committee and the sponsor held a meeting last night to determine the time and sequence of today's competition.They were naturally arranged to start the game at 13 o'clock, and the main positions were the Pengli Sports School Team and the Luzhou Fifth Squadron.

The Luzhou Sports School team didn't even have the confidence to compete, so it's hard to imagine how aggrieved they are.

There are more and more people in the volleyball hall. Today is Friday, and Luzhou Sports School specially made a holiday plan in advance for today's game and the subsequent awards.

On the first and last day, organizing some people to come to the volleyball hall to add some popularity to the competition and the corresponding ceremony is what the organizer should do.What kind of people can the sports school arrange the most?Students of course.

Young students full of honor are naturally the best popular choice.

As a result, the plan was arranged and the students organized well, including the organizing committee who invited relevant leaders and some professionals, and even communicated the invitation time in advance, hoping to see some competitions.

But in the end, Luzhou Sports School is not the protagonist.

They were uncomfortable. In fact, the students who were organized as spectators were also uncomfortable. The school had already publicized it.Although not explicitly stated, the posture is there.

Before the competition, Yi Ran was pretending to be number one and number two, but what's going on now? What about our tradition of honor?You volleyball team just show us this?
All kinds of gossip and complaints on the scene increased with the increase of the audience.

It seemed that the protagonists of the game hadn't arrived yet, and the game hadn't even started to show the intensity, the spectators got a little excited, and the energy was not positive, and the atmosphere in the volleyball hall seemed extremely weird for a while.

The scene of the volleyball hall is like this, and on the other side, there are lounges on both sides of the arena.

The two teams who are the protagonists don't have their uncomfortable mood, and they can't think about it at the moment.

In the lounge of Luzhou No. [-] Middle School,
At the end, their coach emphasized the tactics of the game and what the players need to pay attention to.

All the players looked solemn and listened attentively to the coach's arrangement.

Among them, 3 people are even more focused, because they have undertaken the most tactical tasks arranged by Coach Xu, and they are about to face the most difficult game after they entered Luzhou No. [-] Middle School.

Speaking of which, the three of them are also acquaintances with some players of the Pengli Ti school team. They have met as early as last year, even though they couldn't remember their names for a while!
We haven't met each other before, but the evaluation includes watching the video, so we both know that we have each other.

And in the last few games, the three of them really got to know those people again.

After finishing his explanation, Coach Xu stopped and waved his hands to let his teammates adjust themselves. They will enter the field in a while and start warming up.

He walked to the edge of the lounge and watched the gathered players from a distance with his assistant coach.

Nervous, worried, thinking, maybe a little bit of anticipation and excitement?

Coach Xu looked at the expressions of the various players, and he was also thinking about it.

He turned his eyes, and finally fixed his eyes on the three players who were hidden as the center.

The first batch of poaching results of the school's volleyball team this year, the results are still good, in his opinion, these youngsters are at least not weak among the young players in the province.

It's just that everything is afraid of comparison.

Moreover, the comparison of players' ego is often more prone to problems.

It can be seen that the emotions of these teenagers are a little unstable. Coach Xu feels that he must enlighten him.

Coaching a youth team is really difficult.

"Xiao Huang, Xiao Sun, Xiao Hu..."

So, Coach Xu shouted and waved.

The three people whose names were called immediately got up, came to the coach, and greeted respectfully.

Squeezing them down, Coach Xu said in a low voice, "You have a very heavy task today. You have to be responsible for the offensive chain, and also join the receiving and defending array...

"Don't stress!"

Coach Xu smiled and patted the player closest to him. He could see that the three of them were a little nervous: "In this game, we have already exceeded the set goal. Now in this game, winning or losing is very important to us." little impact on the…”

Coach Xu's voice was amplified a little, and the last one was also for the other players in the lounge to listen to. He hoped that the players could completely let go of their burdens and play this game.

The competition is very difficult. If you want to win and are afraid of losing, if your state is affected, then there is really no hope at all.

"Xiao Huang, you have said that in the original team, you played a match with many players in the current main lineup of the Pengli team, and you may be more familiar with them than your teammates.

The tasks I assigned to you are heavier, based on these factors, not to mention, the three of you are the best offensive and defensive players in the team, whether the offensive and defensive ends can be run efficiently, the coach needs you..."

"Coach, we understand!"

"We will fight hard!"

The three of them expressed their opinions one after another, but it was obvious that the three of them were in a daze, and their expressions were still a little dignified.

"Let go of your mind and play at your level. This match is an early warm-up for the next stage of the match..."

Coach Xu was instilling thoughts into his core players in a low voice, but he also understood in his heart that enlightening the players' emotions was just to prevent accidents.

The game still depends on the real strength, no matter if there is no accident, it will not be easy to win this last game.

my opponent...

When coach Xu was thinking about his opponent, his opponent was in the lounge not far from them.

Similar to Luzhou No. [-] Middle School, Pengli team coach Lu Lin, assistant coach Feng Jing, and team leader Director Liu were also far away from the players.

In the short speech just now, Lu Lin just said a normal type and there was no more to say.The necessary tactics and details have already been analyzed. If the target is not discussed before the game, there is actually no need to explain anything in particular.

At this moment, the three leading coaches and leaders asked the players to relax and adjust themselves, and they talked about other topics in a low voice.

The competition is coming to an end, no matter whether they win or lose the last competition, their performance in this line of work has already satisfactorily and exceeded the expectations of the school.

Lu Lin is in a good mood. Results are one aspect, and more importantly, the players have gone through several stages in just a few games, which has further grown the team.

Director Liu is naturally in a good mood. He has been the team leader for a while, but no matter what the nature of the job is, his credit for this trip cannot be lost.

Moreover, as one of the school leaders who have been deeply involved in the team since its establishment, it is also a great affirmation of his work.

With these, he felt that all the little emotions in his heart could be completely let go.

Therefore, if Lu Lin had good feelings in the past only because Lu Lin was an alumni with honors, then the feelings towards Lu Lin now are completely from the heart.

"Xiao Lu, this time the school will not forget your contribution. When I go back to school, I will mention it to the principal..."

"Director Liu, you know, I actually don't care about these things. The children were recruited by the school, and the school has always attached great importance to it, including logistics and the school's auxiliary arrangements. I will do my best.

I can't say anything about my credit..."

Lu Lin smiled indifferently, and waved his hands easily. After a few words, Lu Lin frowned slightly when he remembered something.

"What's the matter? Little Lu, do you have any other ideas, or is there something we need to do?"

Seeing that Lu Lin's expression seemed to have changed suddenly, Director Liu couldn't help but feel a little concerned.

"Director Liu, what you just said reminded me that this year's competition is almost over, but it's just the beginning for us.

It's time for us to think about the next stage, and even make some preparations.These days, I only think about the game and the growth of the team, which may be a little negligent. "

After Lu Lin paused for a while, he continued: "I have talked with the school. In my plan, I will lead the team for a year to establish some models and foundations. Through training and competition during this period, with the support of the school, I will also I believe that the outline can be completely pulled up in one year.

But I am a little worried now, maybe it will be difficult to pass this year smoothly. "

"Little Lu, are you leaving early?"

Director Liu frowned slightly, looked at Lu Lin, and then at Feng Jing, who had been silent all the time, Yi Ran, who only looked after Lu Lin.

He was a little worried.

The school has always had a psychological presupposition that Lu Lin's future will not be in Pengli Sports School. Volleyball in Huizhou is very poor. As the face of Huizhou volleyball, as long as Lu Lin is willing to make a move, he will definitely have a chance to make it.

Now that they have taken the first step of leading the team in the sports school, they all know that Lu Lin's mind has moved.So when the school communicated with Lu Lin, it only talked about it for one year.

But now it seems that this year is not safe.

"no!"

Lu Lin shook his head, "What happens to me is a matter for the future, maybe now. At least I will definitely lead the team to finish the regional competition next year. If everything goes well, I can play the national competition later. The one-year competition is not over yet." Before, I definitely wouldn't leave early.

The sports school is my alma mater, and I, Lu Lin, cannot be an irresponsible person.With this year's time, I believe that with the efforts of Coach Huang and me, some models can also be established.

Afterwards, with the main body framework in place, the things that need to be trained are nothing more than those. As long as the school is willing to pay attention to it, it dare not say more, and it still has the confidence to compete for the top four in the province every year. "

"Hehe, you scared me, if this is the case, then it's all right!"

Director Liu shook his head with a smile, his expression obviously relieved.

A solid sports school, a running team, and even a coach, as long as they are really good, it is difficult to stay the same.

As long as the results are obtained, the framework can be set up again, and the follow-up can be stabilized step by step, and the school will be satisfied.

"Little Lu, the school is for cultivating sports talents, and it is also for cultivating grass-roots coaching talents. Your future school is optimistic, and the school has never thought of restraining you. If you are willing to stay, the school is happy. If you have ideas, the school will also Also supported.

You know, we have been in Pengli Sports School for decades, and you are the only face of our volleyball program.No matter how much you are valued, the school will only support you no matter what you do, and will never drag you back. There will be no moral kidnapping or anything like that.

A few years ago... You see, the school didn't even find Coach Laolong once..."

"Thank you, Director Liu!"

Lu Lin nodded with a smile. He felt a little bit in his heart. He was even a little embarrassed to say that the school had always been very tolerant to him.

When he returned to the sports school, he would go straight to the semi-retirement, and just muddle through with his work. Even if the school wanted him to do something, he never forced him to do it.He believes that as long as the school is willing to use means, he will definitely not be able to resist, such as asking the old coach to scold him.

Just for that, he felt, he had to do something for the school.

Therefore, some people who should worry about must also be vigilant.

"Director Liu, the next half year is critical, and the stability of the team is extremely important."

Lu Lin pondered for a while, analyzed it in his head, and then said: "I can do some work for the main players. As long as the provincial team doesn't recruit directly, I believe they can stay stable, but the team is a team of 14 people. It’s not just relying on a few people. Especially in the upcoming situation..."

"you are right?"

Director Liu's heart moved, and he became serious.

"After this competition, the school can start to apply for second-level athletes for them. However, for team events, we can only apply for 50% of the competitions at this level in Huizhou. Of course, if we can continue to compete in the next step, we will gradually have places. Can make up. There is even a chance to apply to the first level.

But in the future, no one can see the game accurately. During this period, it is easy to bring some instability to the team, and it is easy to create opportunities for other teams! "

Director Liu understood that it was indeed a problem.

As soon as he was told by Lu Lin, he immediately remembered that such cases had never happened before.

A national second-level athlete seems to be a qualification level that has no weight.

If it is a single-person event, if the results meet the standard, you can apply for a competition organized at the municipal level.

But for disadvantaged groups like volleyball, it is not so easy.

For example, this time, they won the top four in the provincial competition, and only then can they be eligible to apply for half of the people.

The second-level athlete certificate does not add points to the college entrance examination, and some subsidies, benefits, etc. stipulated by the state have quietly disappeared long ago.

But for students, it is somewhat useful, especially for group sports like volleyball.

Of course, athlete qualification application is only one aspect.Pengli Sports School is still a bit small, so it is not surprising that people are poached. Many sports schools and even key middle schools have done a lot. As long as the students are willing, they have almost no capital to resist.

Under the dual management of the education system and the sports system, their arms cannot twist their thighs.

Remuneration and benefits seem to be the real fundamentals.

Xiao Lu said that he can do the work as the main force, but he can't completely rest assured that this is not something that one or two people can solve by relying on their personal charm.

This is the reality. In the past, there were not no teams that accidentally entered the top four, but it was difficult to maintain it. It is not uncommon for the main players to be poached.

It is time to be vigilant, and to report to the principal later, there must be a plan.

Director Liu looked at the circle of youths full of vigor, thinking secretly in his heart.
