Riyadh, the pearl of the sand sea of West Asia, the city that floats on oil.

Different from the earth's time and space, West Asia in this time and space is quiet and peaceful, without the sowing of discord by external forces, although there are still religious disputes in the entire Arab world, but under the coordination of the republic, the leaders of various sects are also willing to sit down and talk quietly.

Thanks to the great abundance of oil resources, the development of the entire West Asia region is very good in this time and space, although the natural conditions here are relatively harsh, but with the support of huge funds, the people living here are still relatively very good.

After the end of World War II, which was relatively different in time and space, Western European and American countries were forced to recognize the leadership of the Republic in the entire Asian region, and the Republic, the leading big brother, did a very good job in Asia, and their proposal to look at the problem from the perspective of development was supported and recognized by the leaders of almost all Asian countries.

put aside preconceptions and make the well-being of the people the core goal of the polity; Abandon discrimination and take the country's development as its core interest. This is a model that the Republic has set for the countries of Asia in this time and space.

After the war, the governments of West Asia actively carried out a series of religious reforms, and the system of **** was restricted, and the right of ecclesiastical conversion was carried out, while all the policies of the government were not affected by religion.

So after so many years of development, the economy and culture of the whole West Asia is also very good in the world, and it is also a resort for hosting various large-scale sports events, after all, the infrastructure here is very complete, and it can be regarded as the meeting point of Eastern and Western civilizations.

For the players of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, it is nothing new to come to West Asia to compete, and even some young players have the experience of coming here. During the offseason every year, West Asian countries will hold some training camps and summer camps for various sports, they will spend money to hire world-renowned trainers, invite outstanding athletes from all over the world to participate in training for free, and some national youth teams will also choose the training base here at this time, after all, it brings together well-known athletes from all over the world, which is a very good exchange opportunity.

Although the countries of West Asia have made their fortune by relying on oil and can be regarded as local tyrants all over the world, some of them with keen eyes also know that relying on oil resources for development will not last long, so they have vigorously developed tourism and cultural and sports undertakings in the past many years, with the aim of long-term development after the depletion of oil resources.

As the boss of Asia, many teams in the Republic will let the young players in the team participate in the training camps and summer camps here in the off-season, and the West Asian countries are also very welcoming to the athletes of the Republic here, after all, the players of the Republic are the most accomplished of all the players, and at the same time, they can often play a very good role in taking the lead.

West Asian countries spend money to hold such summer camps or training camps, not only to show off their local tyrant style, their purpose is actually to build this barren land into a world sports center, for their future development to lay a foundation for perseverance, and the main reason for the effect of the training camp is in the efforts of the athletes themselves.

In addition to playing the fourth round of the AFC Champions League, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team will also have some relaxation and training here in the next two weeks before returning to China.

Wang Lei's team's opponent in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League is still a team from the Southeast Asian Women's Volleyball League, and this team from Jakarta named Mo Dalun was the biggest dark horse in the Southeast Asian Women's Volleyball League last season.

In last season's Southeast Asian Women's Volleyball Major League competition, the little-known team of the Modalen women's volleyball team went all the way to the finals, and although it was a pity to lose to the veteran powerhouse of the Southeast Asian Major League, the Thai Bangkok women's volleyball team, you must know that this inconspicuous team is still a young team that has not even played in the playoffs of the Southeast Asian Women's Volleyball League in previous seasons.

This time, the Mo Daren women's volleyball team successfully entered the fourth round of the AFC Champions League for the first time as the runner-up team in the Southeast Asian Major League.

The AFC Champions League game has reached the fourth round, and there are only 16 remaining teams, which will fight each other to determine the final quarterfinals, and each team that reaches the top 8 has accumulated its AFC Champions League bonus to the extent of at least 40 million Chinese dollars, so the AFC Champions League games that enter the fourth round will be more intense and exciting than before.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team has no hope of winning the championship in this season's league, and their biggest league task is to qualify for the AFC Champions League next season, in addition to this goal, Wang Lei's biggest coaching task now is the AFC Champions League and the League Cup, although the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is not short of that little bonus, but if they can get better results, this is a great encouragement for the players and Wang Lei, At the same time, Wang Lei himself also wants to use the results of the AFC Champions League and the League Cup to play a good face of the media and so-called experts who sneered at him before, to be honest, although Wang Lei has a good temper, but he is not the kind of person who can still stick to the right cheek after being hit on the left cheek, he can bear the overnight time for revenge, but he is afraid that he will forget it for too long.

For the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team, they feel that they are very lucky to meet the Yangtze River women's volleyball team in the fourth round this time, after all, in the eyes of many foreign media, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is no longer the super team that won the Asian Champions League and swept Asia, which can be seen from their current league results, the sixth in the league, although the strength of the Republic Women's Volleyball League is undoubtedly the Asian "Nanbo Bay", but the sixth result is nothing in the whole of Asia.

Compared with the Chaozhou women's volleyball team, compared with the Shuzhong Golden Sun women's volleyball team, which has reached the top four in recent years, the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team even feels that it is a real signing to meet the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, after all, compared with other top 16 teams, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is an out-and-out young player, and being young means that there is not too much experience.

The tournament doesn't start until 9 p.m. local time in Riyadh, where daytime temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius, making it not suitable for going out, so many of Riyadh's summer activities are held in the evening.

In the luxurious five-star hotel Khalifa International Sports and Sports Center in Riyadh, many local spectators brought their families to watch the fourth round of the AFC Champions League.

Unlike the earth's time and space, the Arab region of this time and space is not very closed and conservative, although women's rights are not comparable to many other countries, but they will not restrict some normal life activities.

After the two sides entered the court, Wang Lei was a little surprised that Mo Dalun, the women's volleyball team from the Southeast Asian Major League, did not have foreign aid from Europe and the United States, and it was clear from the skin color and hair that the players of this dark horse were basically Asian players, and Wang Lei found that most of the core players of the other party were Chinese.

After the start of the game, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team took the lead, Ma Dongmei got the opportunity to start today, and she gave the opponent a shot of Ma Wei as soon as she came up from the service position.

The sidespin serve has now become Ma Dongmei's signature move, and after this period of training, Ma Dongmei's serve success rate is also very high, and her serve has added new changes on the basis of the previous one.

Ma Dongmei's serve can now fly to the opponent's half court almost at the height of the mesh belt, which greatly increases the unpredictability of her serve to a certain extent.

The Mo Dalun women's volleyball team also seemed to have studied the playing style of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team before the game, and had an understanding of Ma Dongmei's serving power, but they still underestimated the power of Ma Dongmei's serve.

After the Yangtze River women's volleyball team scored four points in a row, the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team only got one point because of a service error by Ma Dongmei.

I have to say that although Ma Dongmei's current serve is much more powerful, it also increases the chance of mistakes.

Next, the performance of the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team was very disappointing, their players did not seem to have fully adapted to the tense atmosphere of the AFC Champions League, all kinds of mistakes were frequent, and the defense did not achieve the desired effect, but the Yangtze River women's volleyball team seized the opportunity to repeatedly play into a counterattack.

After the first official timeout, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team maintained a large lead with a score of 8-2.

However, after returning from the pause, the performance of the Modalen women's volleyball team has changed a lot, and their players seem to have suddenly found a feeling, and the stability of the first pass has increased greatly.

"According to the data of the previous rounds of the AFC Champions League, they seem to be very slow to heat up, the first three rounds of the Mo Daren women's volleyball team lost the first game, and then gradually caught up later, today they seem to wake up a little earlier."

Gao Ming was talking beside Wang Lei, he is now doing his job as an assistant coach very dutifully, not to mention anything else, Gao Ming feels that he must at least learn how to get along with the players from Wang Lei.

Wang Lei doesn't quite agree with Gao Ming's statement, he thinks that the other party is not slow to heat, but to adapt to the playing style of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, their coach seems to be very smart, and very keenly aware of the offensive flaws of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

Wang Lei looked back at the head coach who was the same skin color as himself and was about the same age, no matter what, the young head coach was indeed an opponent worth paying attention to.

At the time of the second official timeout, the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team had chased the score to 15-16, only one point behind the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

Wang Lei asked the players to play more unrestrained during the pause, not to fix their thinking, to open their minds, and to play unexpected attacks.

After the pause, Wang Lei's arrangement was implemented, Zhou Lingling first used a very smart second drop ball for the Yangtze River women's volleyball team to reopen the score, and then turned to Ma Dongmei's serve, this time her serve increased the arc, and at the same time can be adjusted up some height, the fluttering serve made the players of the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team misjudge, and the volleyball almost hit the bottom line in the limit position, 18 to 15, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team gradually opened the score again.

However, the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team really seemed to wake up suddenly at this time, their defense played a good effect, although the height in front of the net was slightly worse than that of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, but the offensive cooperation played very well, all kinds of back flying fastballs and short flat ball passes, which to a certain extent caused the Yangtze River women's volleyball team to block the chaos.

Seeing that the other party had caught up with the score again, Wang Lei made a substitution in a timely manner, and the second setter Ai Xiaoxiao appeared again, and the Yangtze River women's volleyball team exchanged two points for three points.

After increasing the offensive firepower point, Ma Dongmei's back-row attack starter, although her body can't be pulled into a bow like before the injury, but her current ability to control the ball is very good, Mo Dalun women's volleyball team's blocking net can be seized by her as long as there is a slight gap, you must know that this is a back-row attack, the starting point can only be outside the three-meter line, can make this kind of accurate smash like Ma Dongmei in the back row, it is definitely rare among women's volleyball players.

Relying on Ma Dongmei's back-row attack on the Yangtze River women's volleyball team to stabilize the situation, and then Xu Yunxin, the fourth position, also attacked and caused the opponent's hitter to go out of bounds, 25-21, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team won the first game without danger.

"Is the other party's coach Chinese?"

Wang Lei asked Gao Ming, Gao Ming is mainly responsible for data collection and intelligence collection in the team, and he has a natural advantage in this regard.

"It is Chinese, with dual citizenship of Indonesia and Goryeo, before coaching in Goryeo, and only took over the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team last season, the name is Yongcheng, a very peculiar surname, there are two players in the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team that he brought from Goryeo, which is the best setter and main attacker."

During the break, Wang Lei had a strong interest in the opponent's head coach, and he could see that the style of the Modalen women's volleyball team was very close to that of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, and they were all moving towards the goal of combining high and fast, and the opponent's coach seemed to be very calm in the game, without the slightest impatience.

"It's going to be a good opponent, but it's a bit risky for him to choose to join a team in Southeast Asia, and I don't know why he didn't go back home."

Wang Lei was very curious about the coach named Yongcheng, and he wanted to know why the other party didn't go back to China, after all, with his strength, it was still easy to get the opportunity to be appreciated in China.

After the start of the second game, as expected by Wang Lei, the attack of the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team began to have an effect, they are indeed inferior to the Yangtze River women's volleyball team in the height of the net, but it seems that the implementation of tactics is better than the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, the players are very resolute in pulling and pulling, and the passing of the setter is also very weird and changeable, which makes the Yangtze River women's volleyball team's blocking more or less difficult.
