C11 Wei Xindi

Walking up the stairs to the training building, Wei Xindi could hear the sound of volleyballs jumping on the floor before he even got to the second floor of the training building.

After a few more steps, Wei Xindi could tell who had come to the training center by the chattering voices of his teammates.

Well, they're here. Wei Xindi thought.

Oh? They're here too! Wei Xindi couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.

. . .

In the evening two hours ago, the afternoon training session had ended. Wei Xindi had just announced his dismissal when a few of his team members started to joke loudly, saying that Wei Xindi must honor the "reward" mentioned during the morning training session.

Wei Xindi cunningly smiled and loudly asked, "Okay, during the morning training, who sent the ball card to the attacking side for three rounds?"

Lin Yan raised her hand, and Xia Zhi also raised his hand.

"That's right, I remember that the two of you did serve the best in the entire team. Alright, let's go back for dinner and rest for an hour. Come to the training center at 7: 30 PM. I'll give you two the 'Ovens' as a reward. " Wei Xindi said with a smile.

When the team members heard this, they burst into laughter.

They all knew that the "Ovens" Wei Xindi spoke of was referring to the additional training after normal training. Generally, it was a way to perform "supplementary training" for players who did not perform well during the day's training, or to complete the training requirements for players who did not have high standards.

Lin Yan and Xia Zhi had completed the morning's training excellently. How could they still be arranged to "Ovens"? Everyone felt that Wei Xindi must have been joking.

Lin Yan curled her lips and boldly said, "Director Wei, what you say doesn't count. "

Wei Xindi said, "I don't count my words. The 'Ovens' at night are your and Xia Zhi's rewards. "

He looked at Lin Yan, Xia Zhi, and even the other team members, whose eyes were filled with astonishment. Wei Xindi explained, "The Ovens at night aren't meant to give you two extra training. I want to help Yuan Jun find out how it feels to receive the serve. So, I want to ask the two best players in the entire team to help. I'll give you a good opportunity to help your teammates improve and show your solidarity and friendship. You two say it yourself, Can this be considered a 'reward'?"

Lin Yan and Xia Zhi nodded in realization.

"Sister!" Gu Weiyang suddenly raised her hand and shouted, " I want to come too, can I? Yuan Jun practiced the technique. There must be a second pass to cooperate with her, right? I can't let you pass the ball personally. . . "

Wei Xindi nodded and said to the team members, "If anyone else wants to help at night, I welcome them all. Anyone who wants to cheer and encourage Yuan Jun can come as well. Right, You guys usually want to change the way you address me, just like how Gu Weiyang calls me. I'm also very happy. In any case, just don't call me 'Aunty'. "

Hearing Wei Xindi say so, the team members started laughing again and started to shout" Sis. "

. . .

Wei Xindi pushed open the door of the training center. The lively scene inside was out of her expectations.

None of the fourteen members were absent! Even Jin Sheng, Liu Xiyu, and Wang Bin had come.

Wei Xindi was secretly happy, but he didn't reveal too much on his face. Instead, he casually walked to the center of the field and loudly asked Yuan Jun, "Yuan Jun, are you confident that you can set up the 'Ovens' for tonight?"

"I have the confidence!" Yuan Jun shouted, her face bright red. Clearly, she was nervous and excited.

"You, sometimes you're just too nervous. " Wei Xindi said seriously to Yuan Jun. "Actually, your first movement and posture aren't too big of a problem. The problem lies in your nervousness. If you want to receive the message and seriously think about it. . . The muscles and nerves will become unnaturally nervous, causing the movements to become stiff. If you fail to receive a message, Your mind becomes more tense, and your movements become even more rigid. So, Your first message is constantly making mistakes in such a vicious cycle. "

After hearing Wei Xindi's words, Yuan Jun suddenly realized something.

In the past, when the club's coaches helped Yuan Jun train the first pass and look for problems, He would always patiently correct her with one movement, one movement, one posture, and another posture. The coach corrected her movements and postures more and more. On the contrary, it made her even more nervous and stiff. Even at the end, her first pass movements and postures were more standardized. But she still couldn't receive the first transmission. This often left Yuan Jun puzzled.

Now, Wei Xindi's words seemed to awaken the person in her dreams.

"Alright!" Wei Xindi clapped his hands and made arrangements. "Next, let Yuan Jun practice by herself for a while. For example, Lin Yan and Xia Zhi. I'll ask Xiao Liu to guide us as well, and the three of them serve the ball for Yuan Jun. Gu Weiyang. Go to the top three of the net and coordinate with Yuan Jun's pass. When you're in position, you can recite the second position. Try to transmit the fourth position as much as you can. Instructor Jin and I will receive you from these two positions. "

After saying that, the few of them divided the tasks according to Wei Xindi's arrangement. Wei Xindi walked to the number 2 position net by himself, while Jin Sheng went to the number 4 position net. The group of "Ovens" plus training personnel was arranged. The other members who did not have any missions either sat or stood by the side of the field, and they all started to cheer for Yuan Jun.

On the other side of the net, Lin Yan and Xia Zhi followed Wei Xindi's arrangements. First, it was easy, then difficult. First, they sent out a few balls that weren't very strong, and they didn't spin particularly fast. This allowed Yuan Jun to increase her confidence and learn to relax when passing the game.

As expected, after experiencing the brief nervousness at the start, Yuan Jun's continuous passing of the first round was between the point of being in place and the point of being in place. Clearly, she had improved a lot compared to the consecutive rounds in the morning.

"Come on, Yuan Jun, you did well!" As Wei Xindi spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Yan, Xia Zhi, and Liu Xiyu, and gave them a meaningful glance.

The three of them nodded in agreement.

When they served again, Lin Yan and Xia Zhi increased the power of their serve. With Liu Xiyu, who was good at throwing, joining them, the difficulty of the group's first pass increased by quite a bit.

Perhaps it was due to the mental relaxation that brought about some inertia, but Yuan Jun was still able to catch the first two or three balls. However, the next time she missed the ball, Yuan Jun couldn't help but become nervous again. She flew a few balls in a row.

"Don't be nervous, Yuan Jun! Relax, relax!" Wei Xindi shouted.

Yuan Jun agreed verbally, but in her heart, she tried her best to relax. However, due to years of mental misunderstandings, she had accumulated the wrong muscle memory, allowing Yuan Jun to pick up the ball and go back to her old ways.

Wei Xindi stopped the training and let everyone rest for a while.

After the training was restarted, Yuan Jun's performance was still slightly better at the beginning, then worse. Under the impact of Lin Yan, Xia Zhi, and Liu Xiyu's high-quality serve, her pass returned to a "collapsing" state.

Wei Xindi felt a little disheartened. She understood that Yuan Jun's problems were accumulated day after day, year after year. Even if she found the "cause," she still needed time to "treat" step by step.

However, time was a luxury for both her and Yuan Jun.

Half a year later, Wei Xindi and the second team of the China female platoon were about to set off for Thailand to participate in the World Championship held by the International volleyball League below the age of 23. The time left for her and the team to prepare and familiarize themselves with each other was very short.

As for Yuan Jun, her physical condition wasn't bad. Her slam dunk technique was the best among her peers, but the weakness of a first pass was so obvious. If she couldn't make up for this shortcoming in a short period of time, there would be an awkward situation where she couldn't use it steadily, and it would be a pity to abandon it.

However, it was obvious that it would be very difficult for Yuan Jun to make any substantial progress in the first round of the first round in half a year. Because it would take more than half a year for her to truly reverse the psychological problems of the next pass and allow her nerves and muscles to form the correct 'memory'.

This was truly a headache.

According to the rules, Weixin Di could lead all fourteen athletes under his command to Thailand, but she hoped that all fourteen athletes could be trained and improved through this rare world competition.

Weixin Di didn't want to bring Yuan Jun to the side of the field and then put her on a cold bench. Or, when Yuan Jun was chased by her opponent in the game and her pass collapsed, she had no choice but to replace her.

Wei Xindi understood that no matter what the situation was, it would be a huge blow to Yuan Jun. It could even affect the entire volleyball career of this girl.

I have to find a way! Wei Xindi bit his lips and said to himself in his heart. She knew that. . . As the head coach of China's second female volleyball team, her main goal was not only to lead the team at the end of the year, but also the results of the World Championship for women under the age of 23. She had to achieve her goal. She wanted to sharpen and train the young faces in the team that were full of dreams and fighting spirit. He wanted to become a promising talent, and one day, he would appear in the China female queue. They would appear in the World Women's Row Cup, the World Championship of the female platoon, and even in the Olympic Games!

Although competitive sports were cruel, there were times when someone had to be abandoned, or even sacrificed. However, she was unwilling to easily give up on anyone in the team, much less watch them give up on her in the face of difficulties.

Wei Xindi, do your best! She encouraged herself from the bottom of her heart and asked loudly, "How's your rest?"

The team members agreed, but their voices were not very excited.

Wei Xindi smiled and asked, "Since everyone is here tonight, then. . . We still have some time. Do you want some fresh ones?"

As expected, the team members' interest was raised again.

"We've practiced for more than a week. Let's fight in groups for one round. " Wei Xindi revealed the mystery.

"Wow!" The team members shouted in unison.

Seeing the eager expressions of the team members, Wei Xindi began to group up.

"The group on the left will focus on Xia Zhi and Yuan Jun, Lin Yan, Xiao Xiao, the Second Inheritor, Huang Yimeng, Xiong Xin, and the free Li Mengxi. " Wei Xindi was prepared for this, so he quickly pointed out everyone's names. "The group on the right will focus on Wang Xiaoqing and Li Xuantong, Fang Han, Liu Qin, Gu Weiyang and Cheng Ruiqi. The free man is Zhang Yingnan. "

Wei Xindi's group seemed casual, but they actually had a lot of connections. There were very few teammates in the same club as him. It could increase the cooperation and familiarity between these young girls who had just formed China's second female platoon. And the two groups, each of them had relatively stronger members and weaker members. This way, No one would have the premature feeling of "I'm in the 'main force group one', and I'm in the 'substitutes group two'. " I'm in the 'main force group one', and I'm in the 'substitutes group two' group two.

Furthermore, the main objective of Wei Xindi's group battle today was still Yuan Jun.

Wei Xindi first walked over to Wang Xiaoqing and Gu Weiyang's group.

"Sis, are we really going to fight later?" Gu Weiyang asked in a low voice.

Wei Xindi's eyes widened. "Of course we're going to fight! Take out all your abilities!"

"Then. . . Sister Wei, can we find Yuan Jun when we serve?" Fang Han asked.

"Yes! No problem!" Wei Xindi said, "If you guys can send the other party's group to the point of collapse, then you guys are good!"

After arranging the requirements for this group, Wei Xindi turned around and walked towards Xia Zhi and Yuan Jun's group.

"Yuan Jun, they're going to chase after you and serve!" Wei Xindi went straight to the point.

"Director Wei. . . Sis. I. . . I'll try my best to receive it. Yuan Jun stammered.

"No!" Wei Xindi looked at Yuan Jun and told his team members," This time, Yuan Jun, try not to receive a message. . . "

"Sis! I can. . . " Yuan Jun interrupted anxiously.

She had clearly misunderstood Wei Xindi's intentions.

Wei Xindi patted Yuan Jun on the shoulder and said to his team members, "Listen up. This time, I want Yuan Jun to be 'invisible' when she's in the back row. So, Li Mengxi, Xiong Xin, and Xia Zhi, you must 'protect' her well. "

Li Mengxi, Xiong Xin, and Xia Zhi looked at each other, then at Yuan Jun. Everyone seemed to have understood some of Wei Xindi's thoughts.

"Yuan Jun, you don't need to receive a message from the back, but you need to be ready to attack at any time. Huang Yiming, I know that you have a skill in attacking from behind. According to the situation, pass on more information to Yuan Jun. Yuan Jun, when the front row runs and attacks, you can go to the second position more often and switch places with Xiong Xin to attack. "

"Then I'm not. . . " Yuan Jun widened her eyes and said.

"That's right!" Wei Xindi said, "This time, you're actually going to call for backup. Xiong Xin will play the role of the 'Guaranteed Attack', alright?"

Yuan Jun was skeptical. She nodded.

After setting up the two sides, Wei Xindi walked back to the tennis pillar and said loudly, "Let's play one round, 25 points. The loser gets 100 push-ups each. Begin!"

Wei Xindi blew a whistle.

Fang Han's team was the first to serve. Standing at the bottom line, she patted the ball a few times. Fang Han suddenly realized that the position of the backline members opposite the tennis ball was a little strange.

Although Yuan Jun started playing from the first position, she stood firmly at a corner of the field. Xiong Xin and Li Mengxi stood on both sides of her, not far away from her. Clearly, they had "protected" Yuan Jun.

Fang Han's ball couldn't be sent to Yuan Jun, so he could only send it to the other side of the other side. However, Li Mengxi had already predicted the direction of the ball from Fang Han's eyes. Li Mengxi, who was moving extremely fast, took a step forward and steadily received the ball.

Huang Yimeng adjusted his footsteps slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Yuan Jun had already prepared herself three meters away. Huang Yimeng's ball smoothly "fed" over.

"Be careful of Yuan Jun attacking from behind!" On the other side of the net, Gu Weiyang shouted at her teammates in the same group.

However, it was already too late. Yuan Jun's rear attack almost brushed past the net belt and flew straight over, catching Cheng Ruiqi, who was defending at the back, off guard.

"1-0!"

Jin Sheng, who was in charge of scoring at the side of the field, announced the score loudly as he flipped his scoreboard.

"Good ball!" Wei Xindi shouted loudly as he gave a thumbs up to Yuan Jun and the other members of Yuan Jun's team who had played tactical coordination for her.

. . .

This round of group battles ended in half an hour. Although Xia Zhi and Yuan Jun's group won in the end, they only won by two points.

The final score was fixed at 26 to 24!

After letting the members who were still unsatisfied go back to wash up and rest, Wei Xindi sat on a bench by the side of the field. In her mind, she kept replaying the performance of the team members from both sides in the group match, especially Yuan Jun's performance.

Jin Sheng walked over with a smile and asked concernedly, "Director Wei, why aren't you going back to rest?"

"I want to sit for a while more. " Wei Xindi replied with a smile.

"I think you're right. " Jin Sheng said.

"Coach Jin, you saw it too. Yuan Jun's performance in the reinforcement position was good. " Wei Xindi said.

"However, your arrangement is quite bold. If you don't let her take on the message, you'll need other members to take on more tasks. In the past, most of the domestic teams have never tried this tactic before. " Jin Sheng said.

Wei Xindi nodded and said, "Actually, Instructor Jin, I have no other choice. However, over the years, The development of foreign women's volleyball tactics had a new trend, which was to provide support for the main or even the majority of the attacks. The dual-attack and freemen were responsible for the entire system. If that's the case, each of the three players needs to receive six rounds of first round. "

Jin Sheng took over the conversation and said," Although our main attackers still need to train and pass on their knowledge, Fortunately, the abilities of these two little freemen are quite good, so we can try out this new tactical strategy. Most importantly, This would be able to free Yuan Jun from the system. Furthermore, her offensive abilities are quite strong, so she'll be able to better take on the offensive mission you mentioned about the 'Great Assistance'. "

Wei Xindi said, "This is a good thing for Yuan Jun. Her accuracy rate for today's training is very high, and she'll be able to. . . Eight. . . Nine points, right? "

"It's 9 points. " Jin Sheng nodded and said, "One round, and you got 9 points. That's really not bad. "

"And Yuan Jun's confidence has also returned. I've always liked her character of not fearing the heavens or the earth. I also want to turn her into a fearless assaulter. " Wei Xindi said.

"Then. . . Other members of the team in other positions, do you have any ideas?" Jin Sheng asked while the iron was hot. "I can see that tonight's group confrontation. . . You are just an attempt. But following that, Instructor Wei, We are really going to start organizing the line-up. Which team members can enter the starting line, which team members must be the key substitutes. We still need to determine them as soon as possible. "

Wei Xindi took a deep breath and stood up from the bench. He said to Jin Sheng, as if he was talking to himself, "You are right! The line-up needs to be determined as soon as possible. . . "

After a pause, Wei Xindi suddenly smiled and said, "Director Jin, but the most urgent thing is. . . We need to set everyone's numbers first. Yesterday, the China volleyball association contacted me and said that the equipment sponsors will arrange for us to print the new competition uniform. The number and name of each member's jerseys have to be printed on the jerseys. "

" Oh. . . "Jin Sheng sighed and said," They're going to print the jerseys! Time waits for no man. . . "
