After attending Azgul's wedding, Wang Lei and Ma Dongmei returned to Jinling, and the players of the other youth teams also returned, but Turgun will accompany Anna's family to have a good time in the border province, and then Turgun will also come to Jinling, his arm injury is almost recovered, and he wants to take advantage of the holiday to resume training, he was originally going to train with Xue Yongjiang on the frontier side, but Wang Lei finally suggested that Turgun go to Jinling, anyway, the training conditions in Jinling are much better than those in Wushi, And when the offseason is over, Wang Lei can also arrange for Turgun to train with the Yangtze River men's senior men's basketball team, so that Turgun can adapt to the confrontation at the professional level early.

In the end, Turgun still listened to Wang Lei's advice and was ready to go to Jinling after sending Anna's family away, in contrast, Turgun still trusted Wang Lei's coaching ability more, and the youth team that Xue Yongjiang is now leading is basically unable to help Turgun grow.

Back in Jinling, many Yangtze River women's volleyball players who have participated in various activities have returned, although the offseason has not ended, but the players are very consciously back, not because it is a holiday and casual outing, and what makes Wang Lei even more pleased is that the players who have returned to the base have begun normal training.

The current Yangtze River women's volleyball team can be said to be very united and harmonious, with players like Li Yun and Ma Dongmei as role models in the team, and young players know that only serious training can be exchanged for a better tomorrow.

A week before the end of the offseason, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team completed the assembly ahead of schedule, and the whole team began to enter a normal state, waiting for the start of the second half of the season.

This year's offseason, the teams of the Republic Women's Volleyball League can be said to be a sudden change, many teams that invested heavily in the introduction of foreign aid at the beginning of the season have now taken action, and began to contact the Southeast Asian Federation and the surrounding national leagues, trying to dispose of the foreign aid in their hands as soon as possible, after all, now that the new foreign aid rules have been implemented, it is basically a waste to keep so much foreign aid in the team, and it is better to deal with it quickly.

And the surrounding national leagues or league teams are not stupid, they know that there are new restrictions on foreign aid in the Republic League, and they have to sell foreign aid, so these teams that want to bring in foreign aid are also very hard to reduce the price.

In addition to dealing with foreign aid in the offseason, many teams have also begun to invest in the construction of their own youth training bases, that the news that there will be no youth echelon registration after three years, whether true or not, has now been thoroughly spread, many teams know that the Republic of sports will now face a very major reform, so hurry up not late, simply implement it earlier, so as not to be troublesome after the implementation in the future.

And some local tyrant teams have also targeted youth training teams like the Yangtze River women's volleyball team and the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team, thinking of directly snatching people from others, and then directly forming their own youth training.

But now no one is a fool, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team attaches great importance to the investment in youth training after Wang Lei took office, the families of the youth players have basically received funding from the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, of course, there are also parents who are greedy for money and want to send their children to rich teams, but the Yangtze River women's volleyball team signed a contract with the player's guardian when the young player came to the base, and before the player was underage, he did not have contact with other teams, such a contract is really legitimate, because the person who signed the contract is the guardian of the young player, It is not the young player himself, so this does not involve any law on the protection of minors or anything like that, it is just a binding document contract, but it can effectively prevent some of the above incidents from happening.

After the off-season, the turmoil in some teams has not stabilized, and some foreign players do not really want to leave the Republic, after all, the living conditions here are very good, and the salary is much higher than in many other foreign leagues, and more importantly, there is a high sense of security in living here, which is what many European, especially Eastern European foreign players look forward to, compared to their homeland, this ancient country in the East now feels like paradise.

The players themselves don't want to leave, and the team has to be sold at a low price, which is really a mess.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team started the journey of the second half of the season with such a chaotic atmosphere permeating the entire league.

From the eighteenth to the twentieth round of the league, the opponents of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team are all middle and lower teams, such as the Beihai Rural Commercial Bank women's volleyball team, the promoted Ma Longyou women's volleyball team, etc., these teams basically cannot bring too much threat to the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, and Wang Lei, who appropriately rotates the lineup, also lets more young players play more in such games.

Ma Dongmei's average points per game dropped a lot due to the reduction of playing time, and was eventually surpassed by Valenna, but she didn't care about these at all, everyone knew that Valenna was already going downhill, and she Ma Dongmei was the real future "Nanbo Bay", compared to looking at the playing time of the two, Valentenna's playing time was more than half of Ma Dongmei's playing time, so such a comparison of points per game basically can't say anything.

And another very important reason for Ma Dongmei's reduced playing time now is that the time of each game of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is too short.

Gao Ming has calculated that the average game time of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team to the current position is 73.2 minutes, and the average time per game of the entire league is 84.5 minutes, which shows that the Yangtze River women's volleyball team basically takes less time per game than all other teams in the league.

After playing the twentieth round of the league, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team still maintained a full victory, which made some media even exclaim that the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is not ready to win the championship, if it is really successful, it will be a miracle in the history of the entire Republic Women's Volleyball League.

Between the twentieth round and the twenty-first round of the league, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team will play the AFC Champions League eight-in-four match.

Now to the quarterfinals, the remaining teams in the AFC Champions League are all strong teams, and the Republic League occupies the top three in the quarterfinals, Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team and Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce women's volleyball team have advanced to the quarterfinals, but the Shuzhong Golden Sun women's volleyball team was eliminated in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League, the renewal of the Golden Sun is not over, and the pain is inevitable, but now it seems that their decline is greater than expected.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team drew the Seoul Four-Star Team, the champion of the Korea League last season, in the eight-in-four game.

The other two teams in the Republic League were unfortunately drawn together, and the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce women's volleyball team and the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team will be eliminated one after this round of the AFC Champions League.

The match between the Yangtze River women's volleyball team and the Seoul Four Stars team was held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

As one of the radiation areas of Chinese civilization, Goryeo, their women's volleyball strength can only rank third in the entire East Asia, and has been suppressed by the Republic women's volleyball team and the Dongying women's volleyball team, but their league is relatively much better than that of Dongying, like the Seoul four-star women's volleyball team, the dominant team of the Korean League can basically reach the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League every year, and it is an out-and-out old strong team.

However, the common denominator of the Korean team is that they are very xenophobic, and their team would rather use their own players than win the championship, but they will definitely limit the use of foreign players.

Although their spirit is very commendable, this relatively closed attitude also makes their team lack enough competitiveness and influence, just like the Korean four-star women's volleyball team, although they have never missed the AFC Champions League quarterfinals for eight years, but they have not even played a final, and at the same time, in terms of influence, it is much worse than some other teams.

So in the face of such a team, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team did not have much pressure.

At the beginning of the game, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team took the lead in Kuala Lumpur, and the front row height of the Seoul four-star women's volleyball team was average.

However, the Seoul four-star women's volleyball team is not without the power to fight back, although their tactical play is old-fashioned, it is still based on back flying and fastball-based tactics, but I have to say that their tactical coordination ability is still very good, and the players' will to fight is also very tenacious, and they can also let go of playing on the court, and they are not suppressed by the momentum of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team at the beginning.

The difference between the two sides has been within two to three points, and the Yangtze River women's volleyball team has not been able to pull the difference apart.

However, when the game reached a critical moment, the performance of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team was still better than that of the opponent, Ma Dongmei was more intelligent when dealing with key balls, she attracted the opponent's defensive attention with a strong attack at the beginning, and only now did she use a delicate drop ball and a large angle of oblique pull to help the Yangtze River women's volleyball team lock up the win.

25-22, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team won the first game.

After entering the second game, Wang Lei sent a lineup dominated by young players, and he is now very bold and dares to practice in a knockout match at this level in the AFC Champions League.

However, although the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is on a lineup dominated by young players, the Korean women's volleyball team is a little uncomfortable.

Young people have the Russian vigor of young people, and their playing style is more aggressive and positive, which to a certain extent makes the fast attack of the Seoul four-star women's volleyball team unable to play, because the opponent's speed and reaction are faster than them.

25 to 19, the young players of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team played their due momentum in this game.

In the third game, the confidence of the Seoul four-star women's volleyball team was almost gone, because they found that they couldn't even beat the second-tier lineup, so their confidence can be said to have been hit.

So when Ma Dongmei and other core players returned to the court, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team quickly locked up the win.

25-17, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team won the third game bloodlessly.

The total time of the three games is only a little more than an hour, which is enough to show how strong the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is now, and they have now become the first team to advance to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, and the showdown between the other top eight teams is not over at all.
