Time came to April 2019, after the major reform, the Republic Women's Volleyball League has begun for nearly a month, although because of this large-scale restructuring, the start of the league this season was chaotic, but under the coordination and promotion of the senior management and all aspects, the league was still able to go smoothly.

At the beginning of the league, in order to compete for the qualification of the two new First Divisions, many second division teams and some capital parties launched a series of struggles and compromises, and finally decided that the last two teams from last season were not relegated, but directly participated in this season's competition.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team also underwent a major reorganization before the season began, the former team general manager Zhang Sixuan stayed, his ability was recognized by the club management and many coaches and players of the team, and the assistant coach Gao Ming, who was "fooled" by Wang Lei, finally chose to leave, he felt that he had learned nothing from Wang Lei, so he definitely returned to North America and continued his basketball career.

The team's original meritorious physical fitness coach Mr. Zhan also decided to retire, but before he left, he wanted Wang Lei to recommend his students, and after Wang Lei's approval, the young physical fitness coach Zhao Kai, who was only twenty-six years old, became the new physical coach of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

As for the team lineup, it was not unexpected by Wang Lei and Su Tianmin, although they have made great efforts to maintain the integrity of the lineup at the end of last season and the beginning of this season, but there are still many players in the team who chose to leave, after all, there is now a luxury tax limit there, and players are also people, under the temptation of interests, knowing that they cannot get a high salary in the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, those who can stay are basically the most loyal players.

However, for Wang Lei, the best news is that the core lineup of last season is basically intact, the main setter Zhou Lingling stays in the team, the secondary attacker Liao Qing stays in the team, and the back-row libero Gu Lina stays in the team, but Xu Yunxin, who has reduced her playing time a lot after Ma Dongmei's state recovers, also chose to leave.

For these players who chose to leave, Wang Lei didn't say much, individuals have a personal choice, the twisted melon is not sweet, this is the most basic truth, besides, these people did not leave in vain, they also brought rich funds to the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, at least this season the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can be self-financed.

Although there are a lot of people, when the team and players were registered at the beginning of the season, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team still easily got enough players, and these players are not very bad, but they have a little less experience.

After the start of the new league, many teams are in a period of adaptation and change, even the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team, which ranked second last season, needs a period of time to adapt to the current intensity of the game and the change in the rhythm of the league.

However, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can be said to be the fastest team to adapt, and the Yangtze River women's volleyball team in Wang Lei's hands is not worried that she will not be able to adapt to the current intensity and density of the game.

This new model of the league is indeed a lot more intense and dense than before, in the past, a team in the first division played less than 50 games a season at most, and now each team has to play 57 games in the regular season alone, and each team has to play three rounds with the other 19 teams on average, if you count the playoffs, some strong teams will almost play 80 games, this kind of game density is much more than before, and the broadcast share of the league after the restructuring is much more than before, Therefore, the desire of each team to compete is much stronger than before, which makes the intensity of the game increase a lot.

The number of games has increased, the intensity of the event has increased, which has higher requirements for each team, the most important point is the physical requirements, after all, with the current intensity, many teams are facing the defect of insufficient physical fitness, and this happens to be the training foundation that the Yangtze River women's volleyball team has been implementing, so compared with other teams, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team quickly adapted to the intensity of six to eight games a month.

Due to the rapid adaptation, coupled with the accumulation and talent reserve of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team itself in the past, in this new format of the women's volleyball league, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team stood out first, and they ranked first in the entire league and the first in the southern division with eight wins in March.

In addition to the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, some other strengths in the past have fluctuated greatly since the beginning of this season, although it is only the first month of the game, but this has already revealed the trend of this season's league, that is, one word, chaos.

Although the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team has become the second in the southern region, their record is only six wins and two losses, while the Liaoshen women's volleyball team, which is the first in the northern region, is only the eighth in the league last season, and their record is only five wins and two losses, occupying the first place in the northern region with one less game.

Now the situation of the south is strong and the north is weak, like the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team, and the Shuzhong Golden Sun women's volleyball team have very strong strength, although the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce women's volleyball team began to perform poorly this season, but no one will doubt their achievements later, after all, people are the richest, and there are emerging strong teams like Changle women's volleyball team and Lin'an e-commerce women's volleyball team in the southern region.

There is bad news, of course, there is good news, although there is a small loophole in the restructuring now, but there are also a lot of results, at least now it is only a month, but there are a lot of outstanding young players in the league.

Needless to say, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, Ouyang Shan, nineteen years old, a stable pass, quite a bit of Yue Min's demeanor, she is a young player who was loaned to the Shengshi women's volleyball team last season offseason, was recalled at the beginning of this season, and there is already a lot of Yue Min's inheritance, in addition to Ouyang Shan, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team promoted from the youth training Chen Sier also showed a very good state, she is Ma Dongmei's substitute, 1.94 meters tall, full of explosiveness, only 17 years old this year.

In the league, there are also Zou Yangling of the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team, Xu Shu of the Golden Sun women's volleyball team, Liu Meimei of the Jinghai women's volleyball team, Cheng Cheng of the Liaoshen women's volleyball team, and a number of players around the age of 20 have played very well performances, especially Cheng Cheng of the Liaoshen women's volleyball team, which is only nineteen years old, is the key to the Liaoshen women's volleyball team to become the first in the North District, she can score an average of 27.5 points per game in seven games in March, second only to Ma Dongmei's 28.4 points, Cheng Cheng is now also regarded as Ma Dongmei's first successor.

Just when the Yangtze River women's volleyball team was preparing for the April game, a meeting related to the future of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team and Wang Lei was taking place in the capital.

"Let's discuss it, what do you think about the formation of the next new national team."

Wang Erdong, who is now the president of the Republic Volleyball Federation, said to everyone in the conference room.

This year is 2019, which can be regarded as a major year, the women's volleyball team has both the world championship and the world championship to play, which can be regarded as the highest-level women's volleyball world series except for the Olympic Games, so after coming to April, the new national team must be formed as soon as possible.

Now the league has undergone a major reform, and the Volleyball Federation is the main executor of the reform, so this year's two major competitions will become an important indicator in the early stage of the reform.

"I think we still have to be safe, now the reform has just begun, we can't be too ambitious, as long as we can maintain the previous results, I think it can be considered a success, so I propose that the members of the previous national team should be the mainstay, and the head coach should also be Coach Qu."

The first to speak was Zhao Yong, vice president of the Volleyball Federation, although he is also a staunch reformer, but his opinion is based on the league, as long as the national team's results are stable.

"I don't agree with the point of view of looking for the chairman, I think that since we want to reform, we must reform comprehensively, and the national team must also be changed, we can't sit back and wait, we must take the initiative to attack, although Coach Qu led the team to perform well in the Asian Championships, but his style of play is too conservative, and this style of play will suffer a lot in the World Series."

The dissenting opinion was Yuan Dong, a representative player of the men's volleyball team in the 90s, who was a representative figure of the young reformers in the Volleyball Federation.

Next, many people in the volleyball federation put forward their own opinions and opinions, and some even proposed to hire foreign teachers.

Just when there were different opinions, Wang Erdong himself also spoke.

"What do you think of Coach Wang Lei of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team? The results he led to were outstanding. ”

Indeed, according to Wang Lei's achievements and ability, he is very suitable for the position of head coach of the national team, because he is good at discovering talents and adjusting the mentality of players, which is what the national team needs most in the World Series, but the reason why no one mentioned Wang Lei before is because of Wang Lei's age, and secondly, because of his previous identity as a basketball coach, which makes many people deliberately ignore Wang Lei.

"His results are okay, but he now has a contract with the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, this is ......"

"The issue of the contract can be discussed, Su of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can finally be regarded as a very patriotic businessman, and I believe he will not be too embarrassed in this regard. We are shouting to reform, then now our thinking should be more open, can not ignore talent for some special reasons, since we want to change, then be bolder, achievements are very important, but our attitude is the most reflective of our will to reform, what do you think? ”

Although Wang Erdong did not directly make a decision against Wang Lei, his words did make many reformers fall into deep thought.
