men's volleyball

Chapter 9 Catch Training
"In this mid-term, your volleyball basic test is okay. It seems that your morale is quite high these days, not bad!"

Volleyball Hall No. [-].

After a simple warm-up, instead of immediately arranging the training content as usual, Coach Lu gathered three people to talk.

Plain and gentle words seemed like compliments, and Wei Xiao couldn't help but had a happy smile on his face, and even Gong Cheng's silent face showed some rare expressions.

However, Lin Mu felt that there was something wrong with these words.

I have trained with Coach Lu privately for more than two months. He has the deepest contact with Coach Lu at ordinary times, and his way of speaking is not as rigid as many teachers and students, and occasionally he can even make a few jokes.

The expressions of the three of them could be seen all over the place, but Coach Lu had a little smile on his face, and Lin Mu felt that something was wrong when he saw it.

"Okay, let's change the way of training today!"

"Go and hang up the net!"

As soon as Coach Lu gave an order, Wei Xiao and Gong Cheng immediately started to move, took the net, and the two quickly hung it up in coordination.Then he looked at Coach Lu expectantly.

"Come here, two of you, play the ball for me. Be fast, Lin Mu, go to the opposite side!"

Now I understand that Coach Lu is going to come off the court in person as a training partner. Judging from the posture, they pad the ball and pass the ball. Coach Lu shoots and smashes the ball, and Lin Mu comes to catch and save the ball.

It's just that Coach Lu is so old, can he succeed?
Wei Xiao and the two murmured in their hearts, and seemed to be worried about Coach Lu.

Seeing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After several months of contact, Lin Mu has already felt the difficulty of coaching from Coach Lu's occasional demonstrations.

Coach Lu is not like a professional coach who graduated from many schools.Although he didn't hear Coach Lu say it in detail, he has a keen sense. Many details of Coach Lu's performance are not comparable to amateur teenagers like them.

Is it going to give us special training, or is it going to give us some serious blows to stop us from being inflated, maybe a combination of both.

Lin Mu didn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly walked to the opposite side of the court, and fixed his gaze on Coach Lu through a net.

His legs were spread out, his knees were bent, his arms were naturally bent in front of him, his body leaned forward slightly, and his consciousness was instantly concentrated.

The whole preparatory action was completed overnight, which was extremely standardized and efficient.

At this moment, his concentration was highly concentrated, and he was more serious than ever in training.

"Okay, ready!"

Also looking across the net, Coach Lu's face flashed a hint of satisfaction, and he took it back in an instant, and then ordered: "Start!"

"boom!"

Passing the ball, smashing the ball, Coach Lu's figure stood up straight from the ground. He didn't have a run-up or jump, but he still surpassed the net in an instant. He was wearing a long-sleeved body and arms. Although he couldn't see his true face, Lin Mu It seems to be able to feel the flow of explosive power.

"Snapped!"

Raise the chest and raise the arms, put the chest in and exert force, swing the arms with the shoulders as the axis, bend the elbows, and swing the wrists. The naturally stretched palms cover the ball, and then the wrists shake quickly, and the ball is hit out forcefully.

Step by step, as if it was a video screen, frame by frame was projected into his eyes. Lin Mu could see it clearly, but only watched the ball being hit, and the off-white ball disappeared in a flash, and it flew to him in an instant. forward.

He only had time to lean forward to raise his arms, and the ball had already hit his arms. Lin Mu staggered a few steps from being hit by the ball, and then sat down on his buttocks.

It hurts, it hurts!

Without unloading, reducing momentum, or adjusting, it was really painful to hit his arm, and Lin Mu grinned involuntarily.

The ball flew, and it was Coach Lu who consciously dunked in front of him, otherwise he would not have been able to catch it.Even though the ball hit him, the ball was completely uncontrollable when it hit him, which was undoubtedly a complete failure.

Lin Mu stood up again, rubbed his arms and buttocks, and adjusted his posture again. At the same time, he recalled the smash just now in his mind.

"What are you doing in a daze, keep throwing!"

"Hurry up, pass it faster, don't throw it on me, the distance of one meter or two meters in front of the net, pass the ball and throw it on the attacker?!"

"boom"

"Snapped!"

One goal after another, Lin Mu has been highly vigilant. It can be said that he has taken out 12 points of observation, 12 points of preparation, and 12 points of reaction, but...

The ball flies too fast!
Close to the net, far from the net, because of the difference in the balls "passed" by Gong Cheng and Wei Xiao, Coach Lu either started from the spot, or took a step back and took a step closer, and the volleyballs hit him one by one.

Full of power and extremely fast, he often sees the ball coming out and only has time to make subconscious moves.The result is that sometimes it is rescued, but more often it rubs against the arm, or hits the arm and flies far away.

After more than a dozen balls came down in a row, Coach Lu stopped short of breath.And Lin Mu's continuous upside-down movements were even more unbearable.Even the arms were a little red.

"Bad, the center of gravity is too low, the footsteps are messy and unstructured, only staring at the ball, can't judge the direction of the ball, the reaction speed is slower, very poor.

You don’t know how to stretch when you’re throwing sideways, and you dare to throw it flat when you’re diving, and you want to retire and go home?

How many times have I taught you to land from the arms to the torso to the legs in sequence, rowing along the strength, where did you learn it?

......"

After taking a breath, Coach Lu gave him a slap in the face, he didn't speak harshly, and what was plain was even more shocking.

Lin Mu was a little silent, whether it was criticism or analysis, he listened to it.And he recalled it in his conscious mind.With more than a dozen balls, he has a new understanding of simple saves and pads.

No matter how standard the posture is, no matter how steady the technique is, it must be able to play its role in practice.

"Coach Lu, your strength is so great and your speed is so fast, we..."

Lin Mu was thinking, but Wei Xiao muttered a few words.

The dozen or so balls just now gave him a lot of blows. Although Coach Lu was talking about Lin Mu, it also brought him some grievances.

The main reason is that he knows that Lin Mu has been receiving like this, and he probably can't catch a good shot.If we talk about pure ball-catching movements, he is shorter and his body action is no worse than Lin Mu, but in terms of catching the ball within the range, he thinks he is slightly worse than Lin Mu.

Coach Lu is usually kind and earnest in teaching, and he feels that his training is not bad.Occasionally in class, the tricky spikes played by those top students, even if he catches them, the success rate is extremely high.

What happened to Coach Lu's ball just now, the speed and strength angle, just thinking about it made him a little desperate.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are going to be 15 soon. If you are lucky, you may have the opportunity to meet professional athletes at a higher level next year."

"You can still expect them to be less powerful and slower. Do you still have to tell you where I am going to be detained?"

"Let me tell you, my smash just now was barely at the level of a second-rate attacker in the provincial team. Even if some youth team's attackers are no worse than mine just now, is this the success rate?

Moreover, what is our provincial team? We don't even qualify for the National Championships or the National Games.In the volleyball league, there are A, A and B. We are in the second division, which seems to be the third level, but that is because the second division cannot be lowered..."

Coach Lu scolded with a straight face, and his tone was much harsher.

In fact, in fact, the skill and strength he used just now, he is confident that he is no worse than the main force of the provincial team, even in the whole country, he is not as weak as he said.He deliberately exaggerated.

Teaching teenagers to play, he has found some ways in these years. He needs to set a high goal for these teenagers who are prone to blindness and cock their tails, and they have to beat and beat from time to time.

Otherwise, if you are really satisfied with the status quo, when you meet someone with a higher level, it will be an instant blow, and if you can't grasp it, your heart will collapse.There have been too many examples of this in the past.

"Don't stand still, can you still practice? Young boy, can't even an old man like me be unable to do it?"

Come on with a big stick, and use the aggressive method, but I am not a young boy.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Mu secretly smiled when he heard what Coach Lu said to him.

"Coach, you are not an old man. Anyway, it feels like just a few shots. I have never seen a better shot than you!"

Lin Mu smiled and flattered him, but most of his words were sincere.

"Don't flatter me, you've only seen a few volleyball players!"

Coach Lu waved his hands with a straight face, "Can we continue?"

"Okay, let's do another round, 10 balls, at least 7 or 8 should be rescued according to the passing standard, take good care of it!"

"Come again, the next round is up to you, pass the ball to me now!"

"bang bang bang"

It was another round of blows, and Lin Mu could feel that it seemed to be stronger than before.

Lin Mu almost tried his best to jump forward, walk side by side, slide step, cross step, even dive, jump left and right to block, and then return to his position in an instant.At the same time, I tried to integrate the insights from the previous round and used it again.

After 10 balls, Coach Lu stopped, and Lin Mu stood silently again.

This round, he rescued 5 people, and he felt a little clearer, and he found some ways.

"How? Did you see anything?"

Regardless of the silent Lin Mu, Coach Lu asked about Wei Xiao and the two of them.

"Coach, you are amazing, and I, Brother Lin, also played well. We just got 5 or 6?"

Wei Xiao answered directly, speaking the truth. Gong Cheng on the other side didn't say anything, but judging by his expression, he obviously agreed with Wei Xiao's words.

"that's it?"

"Uh~"

"Lin Mu, tell me!"

After glancing at a few teenagers, seeing Lin Mu come back to his senses, Coach Lu asked.

"Coach, I think that throwing the ball and saving the ball are the basic skills, which are almost the memorized actions of the body's natural reaction. But to play it in the confrontation, more needs to be how to judge.

And this judgment depends on the attacker's posture, movement, gesture and direction at the moment of touching the ball.Otherwise, if you watch the ball and move when the ball comes out, it will obviously be too late! "

Lin Mu replied according to his own understanding and feelings just now, and met Coach Lu's stare.

"Okay! It's not bad. It seems that the few balls just now were not fooled."

Coach Lu finally had a smile on his face. He was a little more confident in the judgments he had made.Moreover, he was paying attention to Lin Mu's movement just now when he smashed the ball.You will know how to adjust yourself, this is a talent.

"Wei Xiao, Gong Cheng, and you, Lin Mu, you train hard, and your study results are equally good. As far as your current basic skills are concerned, it can be said that you are not inferior to any of your classmates in the same period, but why didn't you all take the lead in this assessment?
Because you have not been able to play to the level you should have like a men's volleyball player! "

Coach Lu didn't intend to wait for their answer, and continued: "We all know that the women's volleyball team has been brilliant, but even at its peak, it was a disastrous defeat against the second-rate men's volleyball team.

Because of what?
Because men's volleyball players hit the ball harder and faster, the success rate of their first pass when receiving the serve and smashing the ball is very low, and sometimes they can't even keep up with the reaction.Not to mention those tactics that focus on quickness and change.

This is the overall difference between men and women, but also play.Of course, it is not ruled out that a few women's volleyball players can compete with men's volleyball players.What are they relying on?It is basic skills and judgment.

Volleyball has always been said to take three years to form, five years to become a talent, and eight years to become a player. Your current level can barely be regarded as a form, and your basic skills have merit.

But you only know how to use one-to-one moves.In a real confrontation, you just can't play the best effect with your classmates at the same time.

Playing ball requires body, technique, brain, and judgment, not only receiving, scrambling, and padding, but also judging when facing a block, and even when facing a block. to boot. "

Feeling that what he said was too far and too deep, Coach Lu stopped.

The expressions of the three teenagers in sight were changing, Lin Mu's eyes seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and even Wei Xiao and Gong Cheng seemed to be thinking a little bit.Lu Lin nodded secretly in his heart.

"Coach Lu, let's play a few rounds and practice with them!?"

At this moment, at the door, the same three teenagers walked in.It felt like he had heard some words, and as soon as the person entered, the voice came over.

"Haha~ It's Li Feng and Lu Ming!"

Coach Lu looked at the person, smiled, and then looked at Lin Mu and the other three, "How is it?"

"it is good!"

"Then, let's have a three-on-three practice match, and I'll be the referee for you!"
