Entering June, the weather in the capital has become hotter and hotter, and the women's volleyball national team that is training in the capital has also ended the initial physical reserve training and began to enter the team's joint training stage.

Wang Lei actually pays great attention to protecting his body, but this time as the head coach of the national team, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest, plus the new players have their own styles, and their playing characteristics are also inconsistent, which requires Wang Lei to start from every detail to adjust the players, so it led to Wang Lei's excessive use of his voice.

Ma Dongmei watched her husband keep eating throat lozenges, and then kept directing the players to adjust their movements with a sound almost like sandpaper rubbing, not to mention the discomfort in her heart, this is her lover, but she is tired like this for the whole team, and she almost coughs until she can't sleep when she comes home every night, how can this make Ma Dongmei not mentally moved.

The players of the women's volleyball national team finally realized the conscientiousness and responsibility of the young head coach after the fun of physical training, although there have been similar coaches who were tired because of the team before, but judging from Wang Lei's age and his previous style, this time he really paid his heart and really worked hard to take on his responsibilities, so the players also put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have, focused on training, and focused on the adjustment of every action detail, even if this is different from their previous habits, But with the help of Wang Lei's adjustment, they still listened to Wang Lei's opinion.

After more than a week of joint training with the ball, the women's national volleyball team began the warm-up match before the World Championship Cup.

The World Championship Cup is a world-class competition organized by the World Volleyball Federation, which is a competition for the top teams from all continents, with a total of 16 teams participating, and the annual competition prize money is also quite generous, and it is a competition co-sponsored by several of the world's top sporting goods companies.

There will be four teams in Asia, two in North America, two in South America, two in Europe, two each in Africa and Oceania, and although the championship is basically held by the national teams of the Eurasian or American continents, it is already a very top competition in the world.

This year's World Champions Cup is the turn to be held in Asia, and Dongying finally won the right to host it, so relatively speaking, the Republic has half a home advantage, which is much better than the last time it was held in Europe, it was in the last game that Ma Dongmei was sent off in the host's game, and that game also caused a very big fluctuation in China, and the referee's actions on duty were indeed not fair and just.

Due to the proximity to Dongying, the warm-up match of the women's volleyball national team started on June 10, and the first opponent was the African champion Cameroon, and then there were three warm-up games, and it would not leave for Dongying until around June 22.

On June 10, the women's national volleyball team welcomed its first warm-up opponent, the African champion Cameroon, at the Capital Workers Gymnasium.

Although the Cameroon team is the African champion, they are basically spectators in the World Champions Cup, the physical fitness of African players is indeed very good, but there are always problems in height, coupled with the general development of the country, there are no suitable selection conditions and training conditions, so many African players are born in the wild.

This time the Cameroon team won the championship in the non-championships, but in the draw of the World Champions Cup they were unfortunately drawn to the group of death Group D, in this group, not only the European champion Italian team, but also the South American champion Brazil team, and another Asian third-place Korean team is not so easy to defeat the opponent, it can be said that the Cameroon team is basically for the warm-up game, after all, they can also get a few dollars of appearance fees in the warm-up game.

In this warm-up match against Cameroon, the new national team, which made its debut, received a lot of attention, much of which was due to the previous volunteer guide activity.

Because it was a home game, and it was a warm-up game, the rules of the game were not so strict, and there were two more pauses than regular games, and both sides were for training, oh well, the Cameroon team actually came for "tourism".

Although it was his first appearance, Wang Lei did not arrange for core players such as Ma Dongmei and Yue Min to play, and the starters were all young players.

However, even so, the Cameroon team could not withstand the attack of the Republic women's volleyball team, they fell behind the Republic women's volleyball team by 8 points at the beginning, well, in fact, the Republic played an 8-0 start at the beginning.

Wang Lei rarely spoke in this game, and he also had to prepare for the subsequent World Champions Cup matches, and he couldn't always command the game with a dumb voice, so in this game, he basically wrote the substitution strategy on the tactical board, and then asked the assistant coach to complete the substitution.

In the first game, the Republic women's volleyball team won 25-14, and the Cameroon team had no intention of fighting at all.

Although the strength of the opponent is very weak, Wang Lei does not care about these, he cares more about the change in the mentality of the players in the team, to see if they will relax in the face of weak opponents.

In the second game, Wang Lei replaced Ma Dongmei and Yue Min on the court together, and the audience in the stands on the sidelines immediately cheered, after all, these two people are now the signature figures of the women's volleyball team of the Republic.

Yue Min has completely become popular in the country after the previous events, and her experience and her appearance have brought her many supporters, and there are signs of surpassing Ma Dongmei and becoming the first star of the women's volleyball team of the Republic.

However, in the eyes of loyal women's volleyball fans, Ma Dongmei's role is still irreplaceable.

In the second game, the Republic women's volleyball team won 25-12 and then played the next game, and the Cameroon team had almost no power to fight back.

However, after entering the third game, the unnecessary mistakes of the Republic women's volleyball team began to increase, and after Yue Min got off the court, the players in the back row also made unnecessary mistakes, and some mistakes even made the fans present look a little ridiculous.

Even so, the Cameroon team still failed to pull back a game, and the Republic women's volleyball team won the third game 25-20.

Although they easily defeated their opponents 3-0, Wang Lei's coaching and the performance of the Republic women's volleyball team after the game were questioned by many people, after all, their performance in the third game was really bad.

Two days later, the women's volleyball team of the Republic welcomed its second warm-up opponent, they were the fifth French team in Europe.

The French team unfortunately only won the fifth place in the last European Championships, but their strength is not bad, but there have been problems in the atmosphere in the team, which has caused the team's performance to decline, in the end, volleyball is still more popular in Europe, although it is not as popular as football and basketball, but there are still some racial advantages and economic strength advantages in Europe.

The national team played very hard in the game with the French team, and was won by the opponent 25-22 in the first game, although Wang Lei did not play Ma Dongmei and Yue Min, but the young players were extremely unstable in this game, and all kinds of mistakes continued.

In the second game, Wang Lei replaced the core main force, and the national team stabilized the situation and pulled back 25-19.

In the third game, the French team began to exert their strength, although it was only a warm-up game, but the French were obviously a little more serious, and they seemed to want to give the Republic women's volleyball team at home a little color, so the game was very intense.

However, Ma Dongmei played a very strong performance in the third game, she almost controlled the game alone, scored 13 points alone, and helped the Republic women's volleyball team win the third game 25-23.

In the fourth game, the French team was more tenacious, but Wang Lei was very resolute to replace young players to face the game, although Ma Dongmei and Yue Min were more anxious off the court, but they were still pressed on the bench by Wang Lei.

In the end, the French team won 25-21 to tie the score at 2-2.

Entering the fifth game, the competition between the two sides entered the white heat, Wang Lei once again sent Ma Dongmei and Yue Min back on the court, Yue Min's stability is as always, Ma Dongmei showed her world No. 1 strength after having a very stable pass, and scored four points in a row at a critical moment to help the team win the fifth game 15-9.

After a hard battle, domestic public opinion has been overwhelming, and many people believe that Wang Lei may suffer a major defeat in the World Championship Cup, and the new national team will also have a significant decline in performance.

In the next two warm-up games, although the national team won the game, it was more difficult, and the game relied more on the personal strength of Ma Dongmei and Yue Min, and the performance of other young players was up and down.

And the opponents in the next two games are not considered strong, so Wang Lei's national team has been questioned more and more.
