0298 1981 Tournament

Seeing that the team members listened very carefully, Wang Liang also spoke very carefully.

There is a live video of the 1981 game, which is not difficult to find on the Internet, and the relevant background information is also available on the Internet, which is very detailed.

But when it comes out of Wang Liang's mouth, it always has a different taste.

"In general, the Chinese team at that time was a team with relatively comprehensive technology and outstanding strengths. As early as 1979, the Japanese team won all six games, and the result of the match with the United States team was also more wins and fewer losses, so it can be said that the Chinese team already had the strength to win the Olympic gold medal in 1980. ”

"But in 1980, because of the storm that boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics, China was also one of the boycott countries."

Wang Liang still remembers the time when it was the largest boycott in the history of the Olympics to date.

The reasons are self-evident.

For outsiders, not competing in the 1980 Summer Olympics was nothing, the sun still rose in the east as usual, and the day and night were still changing.

But for the girls of the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time, they lost the opportunity to be on the podium of the Olympic champions.

In the career of an athlete, the Olympic Games are held every four years, and the number of times he has participated in them is only a handful.

It was a precious opportunity, when the world's best blocker, Cao Huiying, was 27 years old, and Chen Zhaodi and setter Sun Jinfang were 26 years old. At that age, the health conditions at that time, the state of the athlete had already begun to decline. ”

Wang Liang stated the fact that at that time, the conditions were unimaginably difficult.

The war of self-defense and counterattack has begun, and the whole country is preparing for war, preparing for famine, and supporting the front line with the strength of the whole country.

Wang Liang still remembers a word - "enlightenment"

Today's young people often ridicule "enlightenment", which seems to have become a derogatory term.

But whether you believe it or not, it has become an established fact, in the eighties, because of the word "enlightenment", countless young people gave up their bright future, great youth, and even gave their lives.

Death may be a happy thing.

There are also countless young people who have dragged their broken bodies back, with broken legs, broken hands, and blindness......

Back in the countryside, obscure.

Why does Wang Liang always think so much when he mentions the past?

Because of age, because of the years that have passed, because of that group of lovely people.

Wang Liang will not forget, the motherland and the people will not forget, and this will never become an empty word!

"According to the competition system, the Chinese team will play Brazil first, and then the Soviet Union, South Korea, Bulgaria, Cuba, the United States, and Japan."

"In the first game against the Brazilian team, the Chinese team did not play against the Brazilian team many times before that, and after the match, it was found that the strength of the Brazilian team was far below its own, and the Chinese team quickly won 3:0."

Wang Liang continued: "While the Chinese team played against Brazil, the Japanese team also played against the Soviet Union, but the result was a big surprise, the Soviet team was simply vulnerable, a total of three games, and the score in each game did not go up to five points. In the game, the Japanese team focused on the weakness of the Soviet team's simple style of play, concentrated its forces to block the No. 4 high ball, and the ground defense was extremely good, which made the Soviet team poor in skills. ”

The USSR, the unfriendly big brother who was abused as a dog in the first round, is really shocking.

You must know that the Soviet team won the 1980 Olympic gold medal without participating in the women's volleyball team of China, Japan and the United States......

"In the second round, the Chinese team played against the Soviet team, as early as the 1978 World Championships, the Chinese team stopped in the semi-finals because of the defeat at the hands of the Soviet team. The Soviet team is different from the Brazilian team, it is a team of intensity, intensity that should not be underestimated. ”

It has not been encountered for more than three years, and in the political background (the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations), the atmosphere is somewhat frozen.

In the first game, the Chinese team won the Soviet Union 15:4 and won a good start. This result is incredible......

Wang Liang still remembers the appearance of the head coach of the Soviet team, Karpoli, when he yelled on the field.

Roaring is the signature of Karpoli, in the last century, the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, and an era has not yet ended.

The head coach Karpoli scolded the beautiful Russian girls on the field, and a wave of blonde beauties came to the Soviet team, and the head coach was Karpoli.

The hot-tempered coach always seemed to have to thunder to express his intentions, and whether he won or lost, he was shouting endlessly, red-eyed and heartbreaking, like a man before he was about to make a move in anger.

At that time, it was a unique sight.

Karpoli once said: "I want to stimulate the tired players by shouting loudly, remind them to keep their attention on the field high, and hope that they can inspire the fighting spirit to fight until the last moment of the game." ”

There's nothing over-the-top about Calpoli's roar, he's just reminding the team.

"How do you guys play?!"

"Are you playing like this worthy of your grandmother who just died?!"

It's not a reprimand, it's more like an elder's encouragement and encouragement to the junior.

Wang Liang thought back to that scene, a thousand words were blocked in his throat, and there was a lot he wanted to say.

Longing to go back in time, to see Calpoli's signature roar, everything is in the past.

A feeling.

"At the beginning of the second game, Calpoli's roar played an obvious role, and the stimulated players started with a high point and attacked very well, while the Chinese team's pass had a problem, and they couldn't play a fast attack, and the iron hammer was also blocked by the opponent's blocking master Arakhamia."

"The Chinese team, which created a good start, fell behind 0:9! The huge shadow of the 0-3 defeat to the Soviet team in 1978 was enveloped in an instant, is history going to repeat itself? The Chinese team is going to repeat the mistakes of the past? ”

Wang Liang continued: "Considering that the veteran players of the women's volleyball team are under psychological pressure, and the haze of three years ago lingers, the head coach of the Chinese team, Yuan Weimin, sent a substitute Cao Huiying to replace Chen Zhaodi, who is unstable. Cao Huiying did not participate in the 1978 duel with the Soviet Union because of injury, and there was no psychological shadow, and Cao Huiying, as the world's best blocker, also increased a lot of confidence for the players. ”

Sure enough, Cao Huiying did not disappoint Coach Yuan, and it didn't take long to chase the score to 10:10 after coming on the court.

The Soviets made a series of substitutions, and coach Karpoli kept screaming, hoping that this would move his players.

It also played a certain role, and it has been biting to the death.

In the end, the Chinese team won the second game with difficulty 16:14.
