men's volleyball

Chapter 101 Luzhou Stadium
A battle for the Chinese National Men's Volleyball Team to win the Asian Games did not bring much impact to the country.

The big deal is to appear on such an inconspicuous small section in some professional sports newspapers, and more to highlight the mental and will quality of very few two players.

For example, a certain player played with enthusiasm and hard work when the core was not there.

For another example, a certain player blood stains the field, and the king returns until the final decision.

For example, tears shed on the field, and the athletes narrated who and whose refusal to admit defeat was not easy.

The focus of the media's attention is obviously not on the victory of the game itself. It seems that China's big country wins an old Asian opponent, and it is not something to make a fuss about.

On the contrary, the emotional resonance of the boss of a well-known domestic company because of Zhou An's blood-stained exit and injury to stabilize the team and hard work was emphatically mentioned.

The boss was so emotional that he directly decided to donate 300 million yuan to sponsor the men's volleyball professional league.

All of a sudden, several days of publicity by various media also aroused some people's interest in the men's volleyball league, which had received little attention.

In 1998, it passed the end amidst people's turmoil about the conclusion of the Asian Games, the extended interpretation of the game on and off the court, and the future prospects of China's sports.

After New Year's Day, as the domestic competitions of various events kicked off one after another, the hustle and bustle of the previous year cleared up, and 1999 has arrived!
Summary, outlook, expectations and expectations are too far away for the students of Pengli Sports School in a small place in the southeast of China!
Lin Mu and his teammates are just a group of kids from an amateur sports school.

They also just watched the game and analyzed the gains and losses in the game. When they look back, the training will continue.

Perhaps some analysis and summary brought them a lot of inspiration and spiritual touch, but for most of the team members, such feelings and touches are just that.

When their training content and intensity gradually increased, everything returned to the original boring track.

However, Coach Lu announced some schedules for watching the provincial team games in the next stage, and there may even be some new arrangements, which made them somewhat look forward to it.

In February 1999, as the New Year approached, the Pengli volleyball team's year-old training gradually came to an end.

Because of the continuous strengthening of basic and physical training, the teenagers themselves feel progress, and among them, the players who have changed positions and some tactical needs have gradually found the feeling of the new position through continuous adaptation.

Great progress has been made, especially for Wen Xiaoqing and He Linwei, who have placed a lot of hope.

Wen Xiaoqing fully adapted to the rhythm of his invisible free man and half of the main attack.Originally, his level of receiving and passing the ball was not weak, and he was also one of the more versatile players in the team. The original weakness was the second pass and the organization and connection, which was the ability to attack.But this weakness does not seem to be too important to him now.

Through training and continuous adaptation, strengthening the ground defense and receiving the ball, first pass, and relaxing the organization of the second pass, his energy has been greatly released.

What he lacks in his current position is the awareness of integrating into the team. There is no way to do this. This cannot be solved overnight and with an epiphany.

The same situation also includes He Linwei, who relaxed some receiving and passing, and focused on strengthening blocking and attacking in front of the net. The need for position is gradually taking shape.

Han Chen, Zhou Ting, Li Feng, Tang Bin and several others are also working hard and making progress.They are gradually strengthening themselves through the strengthening of physical fitness.

Of course, they have never given up on all basic skills training.

Padding, passing, dunking and serving are essential basic skills. The volleyball team under Lu Lin's guidance has always maintained such a model.And also very different from a lot of other teams.

First set a position to specialize in one or two basic skills and gradually expand to a comprehensive level, first strengthen the basic skills to lay a solid foundation for comprehensive development, and then specialize in one or two as the physical fitness increases and the position needs to be strengthened. These are two different concepts.

What Lu Lin chose was obviously the latter.The current training situation is exactly the same, and some results have been harvested.

Of course, Lin Mu was always the other guy. Compared with Han Chen and Yang Xingyi who gradually began to specialize in setters, Li Feng and Liu Mingming's block and fast break, Zhou Ting and Tang Bin's positional attack.Lin Mu has been working hard in the direction of omnipotence and precision.

Now he looks more and more proficient in all eighteen martial arts.

At least in this team, he is the only one.His second pass is not lost, the level of saving and first pass is not lost, and the spike and front of the net are also not lost.Needless to say, serving the ball.

All kinds of technical characteristics are enough to ensure that he can score and involve opponents when attacking, and deter opponents when defending.

All this is due to his tireless hard work and his super learning and comprehension ability.While focusing on himself and the teamwork, not to mention the help and guidance Lin Mu gave them from time to time in the daily group training.

This is also the place where his teammates are particularly envious and admired.

Lin Mu didn't care much about all of this.

In fact, he knows that his energy is also limited. While his physical fitness is constantly strengthening, he is still trying to maintain the continuous integration, adaptation, and improvement of basic skills, which is not a small burden in terms of physical and mental strength.

But he always believes that the foundation and comprehensiveness determine his future upper limit, and his perception of his position in the team and skills and tactics determine whether he can make solid progress to the next step.

Did his teammates think about the future in volleyball? He didn't think about it, but he had goals, ideals, and beliefs from the beginning.

Moreover, he firmly remembered the feelings and feelings given to him by that national team game.

He knew better that the guidance and help given to him by Coach Lu and Sister Feng were not for him to find the so-called satisfaction in such a team.

He never wanted to be satisfied...

……

In the huge volleyball hall of the Provincial Sports Center, in the empty auditorium, there were more than a dozen teenagers in school uniforms and sportswear sitting in the front row.

They are the volleyball team of Pengli Sports School, Lin Mu and his partners.

"Oh, brother Mu, now I feel more and more that you are this..."

At this time, Wen Xiaoqing gave a half-serious, half-funny thumbs up. Lin Mu's interpretation of an offense and defense in an on-court match just now made him feel that it was a level higher than their understanding.

"You boy, let's go, although what you said is the truth, but your appearance doesn't look like that..."

"Ha ha!"

The teammates booed for a while, and more than a dozen people huddled together, and the atmosphere of watching and discussing the game seemed relaxed and cheerful.

Lin Mu smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the inside of the stadium: "Keep watching, we're here to watch the game, not to watch the excitement. Later, Coach Lu will be assigning homework!"

"Eh!"

The teammates responded for a while, stopped the hilarity, and turned their attention to the field again.

On the field, the game between the two teams has just started the first game.

The match was between Huizhou men's volleyball team and Suzhou men's volleyball team. This was also a home match between the Huizhou men's volleyball team in the third round of the National Men's Volleyball League B. After the first few goals, Huizhou had a slight upper hand.

But despite this, the atmosphere in the entire stadium is really not warm.

The sporadic audience really couldn't bring much atmosphere.

In the entire stadium, only the occasional passwords, shouts and shouts from the players, as well as Huipu's on-site commentary with an accent sounded from time to time, could slightly ease the coldness in the arena.

The atmosphere of the domestic men's volleyball team is so helpless.

A and A are not much better, let alone the second division.

Fortunately, the players who played in the game are probably used to playing in such an atmosphere, and there is nothing uncomfortable about it. Anyway, they play their own games.

For such a situation, it also provided some convenience for Lu Lin's thinking. At least, when he contacted Director Lu to ask for tickets, it was very smooth. Director Lu waved his hand, and all the home tickets for this season were in place smoothly.

Therefore, Lin Mu and others can take a closer look at the scene to see the real volleyball league and the tactics and team organization level of the domestic second-level volleyball players.

Of course, this is only the third level of the league, which is already between professional and amateur, and because of this, it is also suitable for them to find insights and experience.

"nice shot!"

"Pretty!"

"The captain of the provincial team is in good condition today!"

"Old Han, what do you think of this second attack..."

Wen Xiaoqing beside him suddenly stood up and applauded again, and his teammates followed suit, and then began to discuss in a low voice.

Lin Mu nodded secretly.

He looked at the veteran who was celebrating with his teammates on the court, and gradually became a little lost.

There are 14 teams in the Second Division, and several of them are second teams or even youth teams from certain strong provinces.

In such a semi-professional and semi-amateur league, the Huizhou men's volleyball team, which is composed of all provincial team players, is only a stable middle and lower level.

The gap between a strong province and a weak province is just that big. This is the second match they watched. In the first match, the men's volleyball team of Huizhou played against the second team of Jiangsu Province.In that game, the Huizhou men's volleyball team lost a flat 0:3.

But in fact, in Lin Mu's understanding of the match, the Huizhou men's volleyball team had many things that he couldn't get enough of, and there were also things that touched him.

Stablize!

Yes, the Huizhou men's volleyball team is very stable, with stable technical performance and stable mentality of the players.Regardless of points scored or lost, the tactics are all stable.

But the success is also stable, and the loss is also stable. The stability makes them lose that game without any suspense.

But in today's game, even though he had only scored a few points at the beginning, Lin Mu still felt stable.Moreover, because of the difference in strength between the two sides, he saw it more clearly than in the first match.

The level of players is not as good as the second team of Suzhou Province, so they lost. Now they are compared with Su Province, a difficult brother, because the overall strength is not inferior to the opponent, so there is a stable tendency to suppress.

All this is due to the coach Lu on the sidelines and the veteran who called his teammates back to start the game at this time.

Yin Liqiang, the current main setter of Huizhou men's volleyball team, was born in 68 and is a veteran over 30 years old.

Coach Lu introduced them to him when he brought them to the province to watch the game. He was Lu Lin's younger brother when he was still in the provincial team, and now he is the core and captain of the Huizhou men's volleyball team.

Coach Lu emphatically mentioned to him that he should observe the captain carefully and learn from his experience and strengths.

Lin Mu did observe carefully and had some insights, but such stability made it difficult for him to comment.

Maybe there will be an intersection soon, wait for the close contact again!
Lin Mu stared at the offense and defense on the field and thought about it.

The game was going on in an orderly manner and as Lin Mu expected.

In the area where more than a dozen members of the Pengli team were located, the teenagers were full of emotion and cheered for every victory.At the same time, they have to discuss a little bit about each offensive and defensive victory or defeat.

It has been noisy, and their place has become the most unique scenery in the stands of the entire stadium.

In less than two hours, the game ended with the victory of the Huizhou men's volleyball team, with a score of 3:1.

Celebrating on the field, encouraging and comforting.As spectators and observers, the Pengli team concluded their schedule for today.

Lin Mu once again took care of his gains and feelings from this game, then regained his composure and stood up.

But when he stood up and looked around, he became a little confused.

After the game, the surrounding teammates seemed to be a bit weaker than before. What's wrong?
"What's the matter?"

Lin Mu patted Wen Xiaoqing who was closest to him condescendingly, and asked with a smile.

"what?!"

Wen Xiaoqing seemed to have just come back to her senses, she yelled in surprise, then shook her head, and said, "Brother Mu, it's nothing, I was just thinking, today's game touched me more than the previous one!"

Wen Xiaoqing looked around while talking, and found that the expressions of the surrounding teammates seemed to be thinking, and they were also a little depressed.He couldn't help asking: "Yo? What's the matter, what's the matter with you?"

Do you all think the same as me?
"Hehe! Alright, everyone got up!"

Lin Mu smiled and clapped his hands, "It's almost 5 o'clock, there is still more than an hour to go, we should go back too. If there is anything, let's go back and discuss it slowly!"

"Oh!"

"Ok!"

"Coach, shall we go?"

"Let's go, Han Chen leads the team!"

Passing through the seats in the stands, more than a dozen people walked through the aisle and slowly walked out of the arena.

Lu Lin beckoned to Lin Mu, and the two walked at the back of the line. He swept past the teenagers walking in front one by one, and asked softly, "Lin Mu, how is this game going?"

"By the way, your teammates look a bit wrong!"

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but then he laughed, "Coach, I analyzed what Wen Xiaoqing said just now, and made a rough guess. Maybe the teammates saw a lot of contrasts in the two games, and they Let’s have a different position for a while!”

Seeing Lu Lin nodding, Lin Mu continued: "In the first game, our provincial team was completely suppressed, and the players played steadily and passively. The feeling of being able to play. But in the second game, our provincial team played at a different upper limit level, from which the gap really emerged..."

Lu Lin smiled and shook his head, "Hehe! You've been thinking a lot, you guys, you've only played volleyball for three or two years, and even formal training is just a few months of amateur sports school..."

Although Lu Lin's words are true, they are very blunt. It's almost like saying that you are too ambitious.

Therefore, he didn't forget to glance at Lin Mu's expression while speaking. The kid's mentality became more and more stable, so he nodded in satisfaction.

"Everyone on the court is experienced. Here, Xiao Yin entered the provincial team in 88 and has been playing for 10 years. No matter how poor his skills are, he has honed them. And you guys It’s just that we’ve just gone through the stage of laying the foundation, not to mention…”

As Lu Lin saw, Lin Mu's mentality did not fluctuate when he listened to the words. It was normal for there to be gaps and experiences.Even in the first game, he didn't have much "I can replace it" blind confidence.At most, it's just a matter of substituting into a certain position and thinking about how to play.

Moreover, he can also understand what Lu Lin said when he stopped here. What's more, Lu Lin should be talking about talent.

Whether you admit it or not, most of the provincial team players are the best in talent and strength in their age group.

In competitive sports, talent is a very virtual and real thing, but from the appearance, it has its side.

Others are taller than you. After you have developed strength, you can still bounce, maintain your body's coordination and agility, and have an excellent sense of the ball. This is a talent.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Lin looked at Lin Mu's pensive look, and patted him on the shoulder with a light smile, "Not blindly, nor underestimated, how much is lacking, you don't know until you can't practice, the real difference is even more important Just know. Remember what I said that day, let you see it, and let you feel it yourself.”

Lin Mu's heart moved, and he asked, "Have you made contact?"

Lu Lin nodded, "I've contacted you, and Director Lu agreed. The schedule of the second division league is very loose, and their adjustment period is also very generous. It should only be these two days, and their next away game will be 5 days later..."

"Okay, hurry up, let's go back, we won't practice tonight, if you have time later, you can talk with the team members. You must understand our purpose and stabilize your mentality!"

"it is good!"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded. His expression didn't change, but in fact, his mind was tumbling.

It's finally confirmed, what will it be like if you have the opportunity to experience it for yourself?

After practicing a lot, learning more, playing better, and reaching a higher level, Lin Mu's heart became a little agitated, which is rare.
