men's volleyball

Chapter 98 Watching the Asian Games
The days of concentrating on training passed quickly, and almost 10 days had passed in a blink of an eye.

Morning jogging, training in the morning, training in the afternoon, and training in the evening, except for the half-day cultural class three times a week, the rest of the time is still three times a day.

Interspersed with some watching videos and watching TV broadcast games, the training life of the whole sports school seems extremely monotonous and compact.

I don't know if it's because the players are holding back their minds to compete or people forget to think about it during training. In short, the original impact of the accident seems to have quietly dissipated.

As for whether it really has no effect, Lin Mu can't be sure, but the current situation is gradually improving, and he is relieved enough.

In fact, combining the coach's teaching and personal perception, Lin Mu is also deliberately trying to change his captain's responsibility in the team.

He further strengthened the ideological communication without changing his integration into training with his teammates.

People are growing, although their team will not last long, but still, this is a process of their growth.

The teammates are training and looking forward to the game because of their original intention and purpose. Isn't it the same for him?
He also has original intentions and more purpose, which is also his growth.

Will it be a beautiful youthful memory in the end?Or do you have regrettable student experiences?The result is often determined in trials and changes every day.

Lin Mu has that dreamy memory, he is more mature than many people and understands it better!
December 12th was another ordinary training day.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, today's afternoon training time has not yet ended. In the No. 12 volleyball hall, [-] players were divided into two waves and carried out offensive and defensive coordination training on both sides of the net.

Lin Mu led Wen Xiaoqing, Li Shanbin, Yang Xingyi, Zhu Jun, and He Linwei as a team.

Lin Mu received a pass from Yang Xingyi or Zhu Jun to initiate a spike, while Wen Xiaoqing, Li Shanbin, and He Linwei blocked or grounded the ball.Or Wen Xiaoqing and Li Shanbin's first pass, Yang Xingyi and Zhu Jun's second pass plus spike, Lin Mu and He Linwei organized blocks and defended the ground.

In short, from the first pass to the second pass to the spike, then to the block and ground defense, and then follow up with the first pass, the second pass, and the cycle repeats.

Through small-scale offensive and defensive drills, strengthen the training cooperation in local techniques and tactics.Then through such cooperative training, the technical needs of the position will be strengthened in a targeted manner.

This is also the training combination that has been in use in recent days.

Due to a slight change in position, the 12 people were eventually divided into two groups from time to time during training. This group was led by Lin Mu, and the other group was led by Han Chen. Sometimes Lin Mu and Han Chen switched.

In a group of 6 people, in addition to the training of basic skills, the training of technical and tactical cooperation is basically based on the combination training of the main attack, the secondary attack and the free agent.

Wen Xiaoqing officially became the free agent of Brilliance's main offensive position after Brilliance left, while He Linwei became the secondary attacker. Although Yang Xingyi and Zhu Jun were not confirmed as supporters, some intensive offensive training was put on the training schedule.

Although everyone said that the departure of Brilliance and Hu Weijia had little impact, in fact, the impact was not small.

There are only 12 people left. According to their double-free agent tactics, it is actually equivalent to 8 regular main players and 4 substitutes.In this situation, no matter for the main force or the substitute, there will undoubtedly be more responsibilities in the arrangement.

No one is strong, unless you play a game for a walk, otherwise it is impossible for anyone to play several games in a row and still maintain physical fitness, and someone needs to be a substitute to ease.

Yang Xingyi, Zhu Jun, Li Shanbin, and He Linwei, the current substitutes, need to strengthen some local techniques in order to be able to smoothly fit into the relaxed position of the substitute.

For example, Yang Xingyi and Zhu Jun, the original setters, needed to make up for the absence of Han Chen and Lin Mu.

Han Chen's position was fine. They were setters themselves, and Lin Mu was usually there when they played, as long as they played at the level of ordinary setters.

The key is Lin Mu's arrangement after he left the field. In the past, Wen Xiaoqing replaced Lin Mu. Although Wen Xiaoqing was much worse than Lin Mu overall, in terms of the overall technical balance, he could barely cope with Han Chen and most of the main players. .

But now Wen Xiaoqing has become a free man and an invisible free man in the main attacking position, and it can only be Yang Xingyi and Zhu Junlai.

The same is true for the setter and the counter-setter, and the same is true for the secondary attacker. There were only 3 secondary attackers in the team, but now that one is left, someone needs to share the pressure of Liu Mingming and Li Feng.

Finally decided, He Linwei was pushed up.

In fact, after this round of slight adjustments, Lin Mu could feel that everyone's mood had improved a lot.

Speaking of which, they are all substitutes, but the impact of changing from the main offense to the secondary offense in this team is still quite large.Maybe it's because there are more opportunities to play, maybe it's because the responsibilities and importance in the team have increased, in short, whether it's the original people or the replaced and changed people, they are obviously very enthusiastic.

But it doesn't matter if you are energetic or enthusiastic, you still have to practice after all.

The main attack and the secondary attack, the secondary attack and the free agent, including Wen Xiaoqing, an invisible free agent, will have many changes in their technical pertinence.

Wen Xiaoqing needs to strengthen the first pass and ground defense training, Yang Xingyi and Zhu Jun need to strengthen offensive lethality, and He Linwei needs to strengthen online offense and defense.

Training continues, and again.

"Snapped!"

Li Shanbin made a pass, Zhu Jun made a second pass, and Lin Mu dunked the ball smoothly.

On the opposite side, He Linwei and Yang Xingyi intercepted in front of the net, and Wen Xiaoqing's backcourt ground protection.

Lin Mu's spike broke through the blocks of He Linwei and Yang Xingyi. Wen Xiaoqing took a step forward and caught the ground ball. The ball hit it, but it still flew!
Wen Xiaoqing jumped forward after touching the ball and then got up without delay.

"Hey! Almost!"

He let out a loud growl, and shook his hand regretfully.

"Come again! Come again!"

He was not discouraged, and he didn't care much about the pain in his body after a few pounces and rolls.

"Okay, come again!"

Lin Mu nodded with a smile, a little relieved.

This attitude is very good, and this is what he has always admired for Wen Xiaoqing.

He likes to talk small things, and after the training, he always looks half-dead and "complaining", but when it's really training, no matter how tired or painful, Wen Xiaoqing has never procrastinated.

More importantly, Wen Xiaoqing not only has this heart, but also this spirituality.

People say that defense depends on training, and passing depends on talent. Wen Xiaoqing's current position is determined, and his responsibility for receiving the ball and passing is magnified.

Therefore, in order to better meet the definition of position and meet the needs of team tactics, this is the focus of Wen Xiaoqing's recent strengthening.

And Wen Xiaoqing has such a talent.

The training continued, and there were several more rounds, two 6-member teams, 3 vs 3 on both sides, 12 people training in full swing.

The weather in December is getting colder and colder. Even the windows and doors on all sides of the volleyball hall are closed tightly, but the indoor temperature is still very low.

Only a dozen or so people were active, and the volleyball hall seemed extremely empty, adding a bit of coldness.

But these teenagers who are training, obviously don't feel the cold very strongly. After this day's training, it is common for them to sweat profusely.

The 12 people, including the coaches who lead the team to observe and cooperate with the guidance, are all sweat-stained, and they seem to be steaming all over their bodies.

"Clap clap clap!"

More than ten minutes later, with the sound of clapping in the empty stadium, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"The time is coming, now everyone go take a shower, change your clothes, and announce to the classroom later..."

At the entrance of the stadium, Feng Jing stood in a sportswear, clapping her hands to attract everyone's attention, and then announced.

"It's almost here!?"

"Oh, it's almost time!"

After stopping the training, they took a special look at the large quartz clock at one end of the arena. The time on it had already pointed to 4 o'clock.

"Let's go, go take a shower first, hey, today is the final. Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Hey, CCTV is also making a fuss. One Asian Games has been rebroadcasted for three games today, which is less than the women's volleyball team. It's really not fun!"

"No, if we don't make it to the finals, we guess we won't even be able to see a men's volleyball match..."

"..."

"Okay, stop complaining, move more quickly."

Lin Mu smiled slightly, and beckoned his teammates to tidy up a bit, then, twelve people lined up and headed for the bathroom as usual.

Training queues, assembly queues, travel queues, even eating and bathing are queues.

Now they are used to this way of travel, and the subtle influence has also increased their team discipline and cohesion.

In less than 10 minutes, the group took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and returned to the arena.

It seemed much more efficient than usual, and everyone felt a little urgent and looking forward to it.

Arena publicity room,
More than a dozen people sat in two rows and gathered around the white curtain hanging on the podium. At this time, the picture on the curtain had been adjusted.

The two hosts who looked like commentators were talking in the studio about the topic before the game.

"Captain, do you think you can win today?"

When the screen showed the pre-match interview, Han Chen approached Lin Mu and asked.

Looking at the handsome head coach of the national team on the screen, Lin Mu didn't turn his head, and said directly: "No accident, we should be able to win, but..."

"But what?"

Lin Mu didn't answer Han Chen's doubtful question, but just shook his head.

He didn't know how to explain it.

In the men's volleyball competition in the 1998 Asian Games, the Huaxia team was naturally a favorable contender for the championship.

In the past few days, they have watched the two matches of the Huaxia team in the knockout round and the semi-finals. The Huaxia team looked very strong when facing their opponents.Moreover, whether it is personal and technical and tactical cooperation, the Huaxia team has obvious advantages.

Whether it was Zhou An, Zhang Yu, or Zhu Qiang, they were all significantly higher than their opponents in terms of technique and coordination.

But Lin Mu always had a very hazy feeling, or in other words, he was always worried for no reason, which made him a little confused how to understand.

Han Chen was a little confused, but Lin Mu didn't explain, nor did he ask. He turned his gaze back to the TV screen.

At this moment, in the screen, Wang Weijia, the head coach of the national men's volleyball team, is smiling slightly and talking freely: "The Asian championship is not my goal. In this final, our opponent South Korea's level is very average. Yesterday's pre-match training When I was in Beijing, a reporter asked me how I was going to play. Hehe, what I said was that you can win by playing what you have shown in training. Today I said the same thing..."

The CCTV reporter said happily: "Director Wang seems to be very confident, good! We are also looking forward to the next game..."

Lin Mu smiled slightly.

Director Wang Weijia Wang, the momentum and will of the whole person make people feel very energetic at first glance, coupled with a handsome face, it makes people feel confident and public.

"Haha, that's enough!"

"Huaxia team, come on!"

The team members were very jubilant, and the mission room of tens of square meters made people feel a surge of enthusiasm.

"The game is about to start. After a while, don't just watch the fun, I've told you everything you want to watch. Tomorrow we will analyze the game, each of you has to express your understanding of the game..."

"Yes, coach!"

Lu Lin nodded, and returned to his position amidst the echoes of the team members.

"Coach Lu, your old teammate still looks so chic!"

The game has already started. Coach Zhong looked at the picture on the curtain, smiled and approached Lu Lin and said something in a low voice.

"Huh? Huh! It's really chic!"

Lu Lin smiled faintly. On the TV screen, the first round of the match between the Huaxia team and South Korea had already passed halfway. On the field, the Huaxia team played the game smoothly and kept leading the score.

Anyone with volleyball knowledge can see that the Huaxia team's lineup is higher than the South Korean team's level in terms of net height and spike defense.

Therefore, when the broadcast screen often switches to the team area on the sidelines, the head coach of the Huaxia team, Wang Weijia, stands out in a black suit.The neckline of the light blue shirt is open, and the hair is sparse and meticulous. With his hands in his pockets, he looks confident and relaxed.

Coach Zhong glanced at Lu Lin again, smiled faintly, and turned his gaze back to the TV.

He recalled what Lu Lin and him analyzed yesterday about the situation of Wang Jiawei and the national team. If it was true what Lu Lin said, he didn't know how long this coolness could last.

At this time, after the Huaxia team scored a smooth attack, they only heard Lu Lin order in a low voice: "Xiao Feng, go back and work hard today, and cooperate with Coach Huang to show Zhou An, Lu Zhong and Zhang Yuzhi in the TV video. The direct cooperation between them is cut out separately, whether it is offense or defense, it must be!"

"Ok!"

Feng Jing responded softly, and Coach Huang also followed suit.

"nice shot!"

"Pretty!"

"Huaxia, come on"

"..."

Coach Zhong, who was about to say something, was instantly interrupted by the applause and clamor from the team members. He couldn't help but cursed with a smile, "These boys are really making trouble!"

Listening to Coach Zhong's scolding and laughing, Lu Lin nodded with a little emotion, "Let's make a fuss and cheer up, no matter professional or amateur, our volleyball team really needs some encouragement!"

"This game should be won. The Asian championship can really boost morale. I hope that volleyball can win more honors in the future, and the domestic atmosphere should be better..."

"Yeah, it can be better. It's just that it's not easy to get more honors. What Wang Weijia said before is right. The Asian championship is really nothing. It's not like we haven't won it before. The key is world-class competitions, especially the Olympics. , Without these, no matter how many Asian championships you win, the effect will be weak.

This time next year is the Olympic qualifiers, hopefully..."

Lu Lin didn't say anything more, and Coach Zhong didn't ask any more. He roughly knew what Lu Lin had said, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

They are far away from the national team and international competitions, and they may never have the chance in their lifetime, but as a volleyball coach, or even as a Chinese, how can he be indifferent to the national men's volleyball team representing China.

The coach fell silent, and everyone was staring at the TV intently, or thinking about their own thoughts.

On the players' side, the atmosphere was much more jubilant than on the coach's side.

The national team scored points strongly, won the first game strongly, and won the second game strongly.

It seems that winning the game and winning the championship is close at hand,
How can teenagers who are not good at hiding their emotions not be jubilant.

However, they did not forget Coach Lu's confession that they had consciously analyzed the game situation and some offensive and defensive coordination.From time to time, they also had a lively discussion.

But at this moment, unlike his teammates, Lin Mu's expression was extremely solemn. The game was in the third game, and the hazy thoughts in his heart became more and more real.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

Just as his teammates cheered for Huaxia's score again, Han Chenben was about to share with the captain his feelings after watching this offense and defense, but when he turned around, he saw Lin Mu frowning slightly.

Lin Mu answered something irrelevant, "Old Han, tell me, did our Huaxia team play well with these tactics?"

"Very good, Zhou An's passing organization is very good, and the cooperation is very smooth!"

"Yeah, I played very smoothly, but..."

"what!"

Just as Lin Mu was about to have a detailed talk with Han Chen, he heard an exclamation from his teammates around him.

Lin Mu and Han Chen quickly cast their eyes on the curtain.

On the TV screen, Zhou Anzheng, the main setter and captain of the Huaxia national team, was covering his head with his right hand, and between his fingers, streams of blood were continuously gushing out from the seams of his hands.

The surrounding Huaxia team members surrounded Zhou An, very anxious, and the referee temporarily stopped the game.

Zhou An walked towards the sidelines under the escort of his teammates. Under the close-up of the camera, his cheeks twitched slightly.
Looking at the picture, Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat.

　In the original match, my brother was injured on Tuesday in the fifth game. I made some changes here, because considering the strength of China and South Korea at that time, I really couldn’t figure out why they would score 2:2 with all the main players. .
