The sun is very hot on the plateau at the end of August, after all, it is closer to the sun than in the plains, and the air is thin, so the intensity of ultraviolet rays is indeed much stronger than in the city.

Many people who have not been to the plateau will think that the plateau is the kind of cold weather even in summer, the temperature should not be high, and then you have to wear a cotton jacket at night, but in fact, in the area where the altitude does not exceed 3,500 meters, even if it is a plateau, but the summer still makes people feel that this is indeed summer, but compared with the low altitude The temperature is more pleasant, and the summer of the plateau is quite rainy, it rains at night and the sun shines for a day, and the air is filled with the smell of grass.

This is not the first time Wang Lei has been on the plateau, but it is the first time that many women's volleyball national team players have come to the plateau.

After the national team reassembled, Wang Lei took the players to the plateau, and he took this place as the first stop for the team to start preparing for the World Championships, the purpose of which is to let the players adapt to the climate and environment of the plateau as much as possible, and to further improve the physical fitness of the players.

The World Championships were held in Denver, North America, where the climate is almost highland, and the average altitude in Denver is 1,609 meters, which will have a big impact on some players.

Since the Yangtze River women's volleyball team began to establish a cooperative relationship with the Qinghai-Tibet Tianlu women's volleyball team, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team will let a lot of young players come to the plateau for training, which is dangerous to a certain extent, but for young players with good physical fitness, there is not much of a problem, and the result of training on the plateau is that the players of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team are all physically outstanding, and many teams have begun to invest in the plateau after learning about this to build a lot of training bases, although the scale is not large. But it has greatly driven the development of the plateau area, and at the same time brought popularity here, so the national team does not lack training facilities after arriving on the plateau, on the contrary, there are many bases that hope that the national team can settle in, after all, they are led by Wang Lei, as long as people give them random guidance, maybe their players will improve.

However, Wang Lei finally chose to take care of the Qinghai-Tibet Tianlu women's volleyball team, this highland women's professional team has now reached the second division, and they have also become one of the representatives of Qinghai-Tibet.

After the national team settled in the training base of the Tianlu women's volleyball team, it did not directly start large-scale training, Wang Lei also knew that even if he was a professional player, it was impossible to adapt to the plateau climate quickly, so he could only let the players gradually adapt to it little by little.

The players of the women's volleyball national team who first arrived at the plateau didn't feel anything, after all, they are all professional players, and their physical fitness is incomparable to ordinary people, so they feel that they should not have much problem with altitude sickness, but only three days later, all kinds of discomfort appeared, which made the players realize the severity of altitude sickness.

Many players have headaches, loss of appetite and insomnia, but fortunately, the Tianlu women's volleyball team has a timely supply of various logistics, and Rhodiola oral liquid, oxygen bags and other equipment are relatively complete, which can be regarded as allowing the players of the national team to basically adapt to it in a week.

After adapting to the environment of the plateau, Wang Lei gradually began the team's physical training, of course, the amount of physical training in the plateau is less than before, after all, this is the plateau, too much training will make the players have problems.

In his spare time, Wang Lei did not lock the players in the base, but let them play on the plateau, which also made the players of the national team very happy, after all, it is rare to come to the plateau, and the environment and scenery here are indeed very good.

Wang Lei coaches the team never gives the players that kind of high-pressure atmosphere, he prefers that his players are enthusiastic and full of interest in training, rather than him holding a "whip" on the side to supervise the general training, Wang Lei always believes that attitude is everything, and having a serious training attitude, even if it is less time, will be much better than the kind of hard training day and night.

Wang Lei's relaxation made several new players very overwhelmed, they thought that this was the coach testing the player's consciousness, but it turned out that it was not at all, and then learned from the mouth of his teammates that the coach never said the same thing, never engaged in surprise attacks or the like.

After the players have gone through a ten-day adaptation period, Wang Lei gradually began the team's normal training, physical fitness is naturally the first priority, which is a must, the frequency of the World Championships is more than the World Champions Cup, basically a game every two days, this intensity is very demanding on the physical fitness of a team, and the quality of the substitute players is also very high.

The second is the team's tactical drills, the last time the World Champions Cup was played, although the Republic women's volleyball team finally won the championship, but it also exposed a lot of problems, poor tactical execution ability is one of them, players always lack a unified goal after playing, which is related to the team's formation time is too short, after all, the degree of tacit understanding needs a long time to run in to gradually improve, so even if Wang Lei wants to adjust, there is no way, so he can only let the team practice as much as possible.

After the start of normalization training, the young players of the Tianlu women's volleyball team also joined in, Wang Lei has always taken care of the Tianlu women's volleyball team, their basic conditions are poor, but the degree of seriousness is really higher than that of many teams, and even the players of the national team are sometimes not as hard as these little girls of the Tianlu women's volleyball team.

The Volleyball Federation is a little dissatisfied with Wang Lei's national team to the plateau to practice, after all, the plateau climate is harsh, in case a player has serious altitude sickness, it is a big problem, and now the Volleyball Federation is promoting reform in a critical period, many people feel that they can't get into trouble, so they initially suggested that Wang Lei go to a lower altitude to practice, but Wang Lei rejected the proposal of the Volleyball Federation, which made many people complain about Wang Lei.

However, Wang Lei was not blindly and bold to take the players to the plateau, before setting off for the plateau, each player went through a detailed physical examination to make sure that there were no problems before setting off.

The twenty-day plateau training did not have any problems under Wang Lei's own attention, except for the players who were tanned, the others were very good, and the players' physical fitness had also improved to a certain extent, and the next thing was to play the warm-up game, and then set off for North America.
