Chapter 220: The Desert of "Passion" (Part II)
"What is the purpose of the competition? The most basic thing is, of course, victory, and what do we need to do in order to achieve this victory? What is needed is to really read the game, to find the opponent's flaws, to create the opponent's mistakes, if you just do what I ask, then it is better to get a group of robots, at least the robots are obedient enough, right? ”
"Play your own initiative, don't always think about what other people are going to do, you have to make your teammates understand your mind, understand that you are focused on the game, not just passing the ball to your teammates, I don't care about the rest."
"It's ever-changing on the pitch, I can't take all the changes into account, and I'm sure no one in the world can do that, so you're the main body on the pitch, you have to learn to control the game, even the opponent, I want six people who can think on the field, not cold executors."
From Wang Lei's words at this time, you can hear that his emotions are still relatively excited, which is absolutely rare in his nearly three months of coaching, even if he loses his temper, it is only for individual players, and now this time it is for everyone on the field.
At this time, the score was displayed on the big screen in the stadium, 19-11, Mo Daren women's volleyball team led the Yangtze River women's volleyball team by 8 points, which was definitely a big point difference in the AFC Champions League, and even the local fans in Riyadh who watched the game on the sidelines did not expect how the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, which still had an advantage in the first game, would play so badly in the second game.
The old passing and running routines, the old-fashioned blocking position, and even the first pass were a little dumbfounded, and the Yangtze River women's volleyball team that entered the second game was like everyone had lost their souls, and they played unusually embarrassed.
All of this happened after the team's own captain, veteran Li Yun, was injured.
At the beginning of the second game, Li Yun fell heavily to the ground during a save, and after her teammates smashed the ball to score, the girls of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team found that their captain fell to the ground in pain and hugged her knees.
The team doctor of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team immediately went on the court, but after a simple observation, the team doctor made a gesture to enter the country on a stretcher, which scared the girls of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.
Injuries, this is indeed the greatest natural enemy of all athletes.
The young players have a very comfortable time during this time, the funny and humorous coach, the steady and warm old captain, and the harmonious atmosphere in the team coupled with consecutive victories, all of which make the girls of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team feel that it is very good to play here.
But now the scene in front of them made them a little overwhelmed, Li Yun's painful figure and the tears that couldn't help but show that this seemed to be more than a simple injury, this may be an injury that will change Li Yun's life in the future.
Since Li Yun left the court with an injury, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team seems to have lost its soul, they are at a loss, and even Ma Dongmei has made frequent mistakes after playing.
Wang Lei's consistent "milk" has lost its due effect, and he can't even change the mood of the players, he can only watch the team become lost little by little and become more overwhelmed.
So there was a scene of Wang Lei getting angry, in fact, he didn't know what to do at this time.
"Coach Wang, the note that Coach Zhan just threw from the stands."
At this moment, Wang Lei saw Gu Lina, who accompanied the team doctor to send Li Yun back to the locker room, came over, and then quietly handed him a small note.
According to the regulations of the Asian Volleyball Federation, the coaches who can play in the AFC Champions League are limited to the head coach, assistant coach and team doctor, and it is also stipulated that the personnel who can play in the AFC Champions League are not allowed to carry mobile phones and other external communication supplies.
Wang Lei quietly opened the note, and a few short sentences were written on it.
"Adjust the game, give up appropriately, and let the horse be the interim captain."
Although the experienced Zhan Xiongfei has never coached any team himself, he has seen everything that is happening on the field from the stands at this time, and he understands what kind of changes the team needs to make at this time.
Zhan Xiongfeng's short sentence made Wang Lei understand in an instant, he actually fell into a misunderstanding at this time, thinking that what the team needs is not a leader, but each one to fight bravely, but he ignores the surprise between male and female athletes, compared with male athletes, female athletes are naturally less decisive.
Wang Lei now understands that what his team lacks at this time is a leader on the field, and now this leader is none other than Ma Dongmei.
When he saw Coach Zhanxiongfei's words, the timeout was almost over, and Wang Lei could only say to the players: "I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now, let's play well, this is the second game, we still have a long time, Ma Dongmei, you will be the captain on the field next, do your duty." ”
After a short run, the game is about to continue.
The players who returned to the field did not change much, but Ma Dongmei made two mistakes in a row and became the captain again, which made Ma Dongmei can't help but feel a little emotional, and at the same time, she unconsciously felt a little overwhelmed.
In this case, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team finally failed to withstand the opponent's wave after wave of continuous attacks, and lost with a score of 25-16, so that the score of the two sides returned to 1-1.
During the short break between the games, Wang Lei didn't say anything more to the players, he knew that the more he said now, the more wrong he was, and the only ones who could change the status quo at this time were the players themselves.
Ma Dongmei did show a little trance in the second half of the second game, but after this moment of adaptation, she rediscovered herself, she knew that Wang Lei actually didn't want to let herself become the captain of the team again, the captain's position, in fact, is a burden, is pressure, but now the team is facing a predicament, the captain selected by the players themselves has been stretchered down, and it is likely to have been sent to the local hospital, many young players are still frightened at this time, so she must stand up now, Gotta lead the team to win this game.
"Everyone has come back to their senses, don't think about it, they are all professional players, everyone will encounter such a thing, the captain was also injured for the victory of this game, we can't let her efforts be in vain today, everyone has to come on."
Wang Lei didn't say much, but Ma Dongmei had to say something, she is now the temporary captain of the team, and she can't just say it like when she was supported by Fu Sansheng to become the captain before, that would be almost a waste of time, and it wasn't until after the injury that Ma Dongmei had time to think that maybe she really shouldn't be the captain before.
But now, Ma Dongmei, who has experienced a serious injury, knows how to lead the team.
Ma Dongmei's words resonated with many young players, Li Yun did her duty as the captain, and at the same time cared for and loved her teammates very much, which won everyone's trust and recognition, and now she is injured for the team, and she can't let her hard work be in vain.
Although Ma Dongmei's words are not much, she is a player after all, and she knows what to say at this time to win the support of her teammates.
After the start of the third game, the players of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team began to return to normal, the young players gritted their teeth and ran hard, and there was even a scene on the field where two Yangtze River players in the back row collided together in order to save the ball, which indirectly shows that the players are not completely tacit understanding with each other, but at the same time, it also shows how hard the team is at this time.
Women's volleyball game, in the case of physical fitness is not much different, what determines the course of the game is technology and mentality, before the Yangtze River women's volleyball team had a little problem with the mentality, and now there is no mentality problem, so what about the technical level, the team from Southeast Asia in this regard can not be compared with the team of the Republic, the Republic has always been a famous technical team in the world volleyball world, and many of the popular technical and tactical playing styles are from East Asia, and can even be said to be from the Republic, Even if the current Moddalen women's volleyball team is coached by a Chinese from Korea, and there are also East Asian foreign aid in the team, they are still inferior to the Yangtze River women's volleyball team in terms of overall technical and tactical ability.
So in the third game, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team quickly established an advantage.
Yongcheng, the head coach of the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team, finally shook his head helplessly at this time, although the game is not over yet, he knows that it is almost impossible to defeat a traditional strong team of the Republic with the current team lineup, even if he can find some flaws in the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, but there is no way to seize this opportunity, because the opponent's players are too hardworking.
Wang Lei sat back on the bench at this time, he was worried that Ma Dongmei was too serious, and on the other hand, he was lamenting that the old coach Zhan Xiongfei's vision was only keen, although the old coach had never coached the team, but he had enough experience, and sometimes this experience was indeed very important.
Ma Dongmei didn't play very hard in the third game, she knew that she couldn't be the protagonist next, what she had to do was to complete her work seriously, and at the same time motivate her teammates to work hard to play a wonderful match, after an injury and Wang Lei's "education", Ma Dongmei at this time can be regarded as really growing up.
25-19, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team won the third game without any suspense.
Yibian fought again, Wang Lei made lineup adjustments in a timely manner, he knew that in this case, the physical consumption of the players would be greater than usual, so ensuring that the players on the field were physically fit was his job.
Now all the players of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team are in a more passionate state, the team's cooperation has also been completely played, and the intensity of defense is to make the opponent mentally collapse, but the physical consumption will also increase greatly, if Wang Lei does not control it, the team may be able to win the game, but the player's body will probably be greatly affected.
After Wang Lei appropriately replaced some core players, there was a little repetition in the fourth game, Coach Yongcheng's vision was indeed keen, and he seized the opportunity to let the team start from defense in the fourth game, use defense to hit the confidence of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, and consume the passion of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team little by little.
However, Wang Lei is not a vegetarian, he discovered the opponent's intentions, and at the same time made corresponding adjustments, Ma Dongmei and Zhou Lingling and others were re-transferred to the court after a few minutes of rest, and replaced with Ai Xiaoxiao, the second setter, at this time, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team was in a state of three-point attack in the front row.
After strengthening the attack in the front row, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team quickly equalized the score, and took advantage of Ma Dongmei's opportunity to repeatedly play sidespin smashes to destroy the blocking net of the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team.
16-13, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team entered the second official timeout with a slight lead.
During the pause, Wang Lei didn't talk more about tactics and anything like that, he knew that the players on the field could deal with any situation now, and he should have confidence in his players.
Ma Dongmei is actively communicating with her teammates, she does not accuse anyone of doing something wrong, but keeps encouraging her teammates who have made mistakes and problems just now, especially several young players, who have been cared for and asked by Ma Dongmei, and Ma Dongmei at this time is really like a qualified captain.
After the pause came back, Wang Lei appropriately sent the core players, he didn't want the game to be dragged into the fifth game, although the Yangtze River women's volleyball team naturally has a physical advantage, but Wang Lei does not want the team to rely on physical advantage to win this game.
After the core players came on the court, the attack of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team began to exert its power, they already had a high advantage in front of the net, and now with the continuous fast attack cooperation, they completely tore up the opponent's block.
Ma Dongmei re-rotated to the back row position, her pass may not be as good as Li Yun or the free man Gu Lina, but her comprehensiveness is not comparable to others, just a back row attack is enough to make Ma Dongmei a well-known figure in the entire Republic League, after all, there are really not many countries that can attack the back row so brutally like Ma Dongmei now.
25-18, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team won the fourth game bloodlessly and won the fourth round of the AFC Champions League, which also means that the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can get at least 40 million Chinese dollars in bonuses in this season's AFC Champions League, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement for Wang Lei.
After the game, Wang Lei took the initiative to walk to the opponent's head coach, he originally thought that he could say hello to the opponent or something, after all, he was a very good young coach, and he was also Chinese, but what Wang Lei didn't expect was that the other party left straight away, ignoring Wang Lei's greeting.
After winning this game, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team will be able to rest for a while, Riyadh is after all a tourist and shopping destination in this time and space, and the girls of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can enjoy the "enthusiasm" of the desert.
