C15 Chen Jiaxiang

This was the fifth time Chen Jiaxiang had come to the female rehearsal training base this year.

In the newly built training base, Chen Jiaxiang sat quietly on the bench next to the field in the brand-new training center. He watched the head coach of the China female rehearsals, Xu Zhenguang, training with his team members.

Ever since the China female volleyball was changed from the Spring to here, Chen Jiaxiang would come at least once a week on average.

Although Chen Jiaxing was the director of the General Sport Center and his job was to focus on catching volleyball events, China's female volleyball was always the most important department under the General Sport Department.

Chen Jiaxiang had come to Yongdong Port to take a look at the training results of China's female volleyball team and the overall state of the team members. On the other hand, he had come to prepare for the China International female volleyball Invitation Competition that would be held here a week later.

Every year, after the closed spring training, China's female rehearsals would always invite a few world-class teams to spar and warm up before the official opening of the international competition season. This way, not only could the players relax and find their states, but it could also test the effects of the closed training for a few months.

This year, the China volleyball association sent invitations to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Russia and Italy and Germany, as well as other world strength regiments. But the European professional league dragged on longer than the previous years. The season had just ended, and many of the main players of the team were still on vacation. It was hard to send all the main players to China to participate. In the end, some Japanese, German, and Brazilian teams expressed their desire to participate in this year's invitation. Although they didn't invite more European teams, However, Chen Jiaxiang was already somewhat gratified that there were a few teams that could participate in the competition.

What made Chen Jiaxiang even happier was that the competition was about to arrive. The old members of the China female volleyball team were in good spirits on the training ground. Whether it was Captain Zhou Shuyao, Lu Ming, or Han Jiahui, they all worked hard to overcome the discomfort brought by old injuries and old illnesses. They devoted themselves wholeheartedly to every day and every class of training.

Chen Jiaxiang felt that if these old members of China's female platoon could maintain such a competitive state and physical health, If Wei Xindi could also train a few young players with outstanding abilities in key positions in China's female platoon second team, then he would be able to send and replenish the lineup of China's female platoon next year. China's female platoon still had a high chance of defending the next year's Olympic Games.

When he thought of this, Chen Jiaxiang felt that his body was filled with enthusiasm.

He would be crowned in the Olympic Games! It was hard for others to imagine what kind of goal this was.

As the saying goes: "It's easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend a country!"

Even though China's female volleyball team was one of the most successful teams in the world's volleyball history, they had never won a championship in the Olympics. If Chen Jiaxiang could help his coaches and athletes achieve this, he felt that he would have no regrets after decades of hard work in the volleyball field.

Thinking of the Olympic Games, thinking of the changes in China's female volleyball, he naturally thought of China's second female volleyball team, which was "training in seclusion" in the female volleyball base in Huan City.

Since the start of the training for the second platoon of China's female platoon, he had stayed in Huan City for a short period of two days. Chen Jiaxiang did not find the time to go over and take a look. On the one hand, his energy was limited. He had to pay attention to the big events of the China women's first line national team. How could he give more attention to Team Two? On the other hand, He did believe in Wei Xindi and thought that he had a deep understanding of volleyball. A young man full of love for volleyball and with a pure heart of his motherland above all. . . He would definitely instill her love and knowledge of volleyball, as well as her patriotism, into her athletes. Chen Jiaxiang felt that. . . With these as the foundation, the young China women's second team would definitely not be bad.

Therefore, these days, He did not ask too much about the training of the China female platoon No. 2. Occasionally, Chen Jiaxiang would give Wei Xindi a call. He would ask her how far her training plan was going and whether she needed help from the volleyball center. Or. . . Occasionally, Chen Jiaxiang would also call his assistant coach, Jin Sheng, to learn about the training of China's female second team from different perspectives. From Jin Sheng's words, Chen Jiaxiang heard the coaches and athletes' affirmation of the young commander, but he also keenly noticed that. . . Some of Wei Xindi's training ideas might have made the old coach, Jin Sheng, have some reservations.

"But, Director," the honest Jin Sheng still explained, "there are some foreign training ideologies. After all, Director Wei understands them better than us. Even if it's a new training ideology test, it's still good. Since you gave her a chance, I will cooperate with you with all my might. If Director Wei succeeds. . . I also want to change my views and learn from her humbly. "

"I should find some time to take a look and see how Wei Xindi has led the team. . . " Chen Jiaxiang thought and muttered to himself.

On the other side, the morning training class came to an end. Seeing the team members leaving the training center one after another, Xu Zhenguang also packed up and walked towards him. Chen Jiaxiang stood up from the bench.

"Old Xu, thank you for your hard work," Wang Yao said. Chen Jiaxiang smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Director, you have worked hard too. It was obvious that it had been the whole morning. " Xu Zhenguang stretched out his hand and shook it hard. There had never been any hypocritical greetings between "old comrades. "

Chen Jiaxiang realized that Xu Zhenguang's hand was soaked in sweat. He could not help but feel his heart ache.

"Old Xu, how have you been? asked Chen Jiaxiang. Does your head still hurt?" Chen Jiaxiang asked softly.

"I've been much better recently. The team members have been taking care of me. They have a very good sense of training. I don't need to worry about them at all," Wang Yao said. Xu Zhenguang pretended to be relaxed.

In fact, Chen Jiaxiang had heard about it from the assistant coach of China's female rehearsal and the staff of the female rehearsal base in Yongdong Port a long time ago. During this period of time, Xu Zhenguang's high blood pressure was sometimes good and sometimes bad. He even secretly went to the hospital to take a fluid transfusion. However, Xu Zhenguang was afraid that his team members would be worried. That time, he took advantage of the fact that his team members had fallen asleep at night to invite the base staff to drive him to the hospital.

"After the invitation competition starts, it will be easier for a few days. " Chen Jiaxiang said.

Xu Zhenguang nodded and shook his head with a smile. He said, "How would I dare to relax? In less than half a year, the World Championship would begin. There was still one and a half years left. The World Cup would begin. In two years and two months, the Olympic Games would begin. That is the last battle! It has been less than 800 days! I really want to turn every day of these 800 days into two days. "

"Old Xu. . . " Chen Jiaxiang patted Xu Zhenguang's shoulder and said sincerely, "Although I know what you and I think, You share the same thoughts as everyone else. We all hold it in. We all want to achieve the defending Olympic championship that no one has ever achieved before. But time can be used against time, one day can be broken into two days, Your body can't be broken into two halves!"

"Don't worry. My bones are still intact. Even if I break them, I won't be able to break them. " Xu Zhenguang smiled.

"I was thinking about asking Wei to come to the national team next year to help you. " Chen Jiaxiang went straight to the point.

"Who? Wei Xindi?" When Xu Zhenguang heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Yes," Chen Jiaxiang said. "I signed a one-year contract with her. After all. . . Next year, there won't be any competitions for national teams under the age of 23, and there's no need to prepare for this age group. So, Next year, I have to think of a way to properly settle her down. Try to make her play a bigger role. After all, I pulled her back from America. The lady's family made such a huge sacrifice, I can't just 'bury the birds with the bow'. "

When Xu Zhenguang heard this, he nodded his head. However, after pondering for a moment, he still said, "I don't object to you making adjustments to the coaching staff of the China female rehearsals. I also agree that the China Ordering Association should treat Little Wei well and appropriately. But I think. . . If you want Little Wei to enter the China female rehearsal coaching group, it should be based on the results of her leading the team this year. I really hope. . . This year, she will be able to bring out results from the China female rehearsals Team Two and groom new people. However. . . "

Chen Jiaxiang looked at Xu Zhenguang.

"Now, I'm not sure if Wei Xindi is suitable to join the China female rehearsal coaching team. " Xu Zhenguang said.

"Old Xu, I understand what you're thinking. I will completely respect your opinion. After all, you are the head coach of the China female volleyball. " Chen Jiaxiang nodded.

At this moment, Chen Jiaxiang's phone rang. Chen Jiaxiang took it out to take a look. It was a call from the staff of the external affairs department of the volleyball center. He did not avoid Xu Zhenguang and directly answered the call.

Xu Zhenguang saw that Chen Jiaxiang's face gradually became gloomy. From the conversation between Chen Jiaxiang and the other end of the phone, Xu Zhenguang could also tell that there was a problem with the China International Female Racing Competition next week.

Soon, Chen Jiaxiang hung up the phone. He sighed deeply and said to Xu Zhenguang, "The competition next week is not going to be easy. The Brazilian female rehearsals are not going to come. "

Although Xu Zhenguang was mentally prepared, he was still surprised and disappointed when he heard it from Chen Jiaxiang.

Over the years, the Brazilian female ranking rose very quickly. Moreover, their fast and comprehensive fighting style was even more compatible with the China female lead. Xu Zhenguang especially hoped to have a few more chances to fight with the Brazilian female volleyball before this year's World Championship. He wanted his team members to better adapt to the style and characteristics of the Brazilian female racers. Therefore, in this invitation competition, Xu Zhenguang had specifically requested from the China Orders Association that they invite their opponent Brazilian female rehearsals to participate in the competition.

"The Brazilian female rehearsals should have departed yesterday. After the European journey to Japan, They participated in a volleyball training camp in Tokyo and then came to China together with the Japanese female volleyball team. But at the airport in Rio de Janeiro. . . A staff member of the Brazilian female volleyball team was busy and accidentally lost the bag containing the entire team's passport. Until now, there was still no news of the entire team's passport. This way, It was impossible for them to leave the country in a short period of time. Therefore, in this competition, They won't be able to come. " Chen Jiaxiang explained.

"Yes. The Four Country Competition became the Three Country Competition. " Xu Zhenguang helplessly smiled and nodded. Although he didn't want to hear this bad news, since the bad news really came, he could only accept it calmly.

"Director Chen. . . " Xu Zhenguang thought for a while and suddenly said, "I think the competition won't be canceled because the Brazilian female queue isn't coming. In that case, I have a suggestion. Do you think we can let China's female platoon number two participate in this invitation competition?"

"Ah?" Xu Zhenguang's suggestion surprised Chen Jiaxiang.

"Wei Xindi has been training with his team for a month. It will be next week. It should be a tiring period. If we can pull their team over and have a competition. . . Adjusting the mood of the children was also good. Besides, China's second female platoon did not arrange too many warm-up matches before the 23-year-old and below world championship. They only practiced and did not compete. It was very difficult to find the problem. In this competition, even if we don't fight between Team One and Team Two, It's a rare opportunity for us to let them try the Japanese and German national teams. In addition, We also want to see how Wei Xindi is doing with the China female platoon, Team Two. This is a good opportunity. " Xu Zhenguang explained.

Chen Jiaxiang nodded repeatedly when he heard Xu Zhenguang's words.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Jiaxiang asked, "Old Xu. Although he said that, as soon as he said that. . . Wouldn't Wei Xindi feel that such a temporary decision was too hasty? Secondly. . . After all, her team was still a youth team, and their opponents this time, be it the Japanese or the German female team. . . Both of them are first-string young teams. Would Wei Xindi dare to let her team 'fight big with small teams'. . . "

"She would dare!" Xu Zhenguang did not wait for Chen Jiaxiang to finish speaking. He took over the conversation and said loudly, "I still know what kind of person Wei Xindi is. I believe that as long as you tell her about this, she will definitely pat her chest and promise you, Director Chen, not only will I lead a team to participate in the competition, I will also be able to defeat my opponent. "

Chen Jiaxiang was amused by Xu Zhenguang's vivid imitation of Wei Xindi's tone.

After laughing, Chen Jiaxiang repeatedly thought about this sentence. He suddenly asked Xu Zhenguang," Old Xu, if there is a chance, do you want to fight Team Two? "

Xu Zhenguang was completely stunned.

He stared into Chen Jianxiang's eyes and looked at the smile on Chen Jianxiang's face. That smile was sincere. Although this question sounded a little harsh to him.

"Director Chen, are you serious?" Xu Zhenguang asked word by word.

Chen Jiaxiang nodded.

"Based on the system, China's second female platoon is the reserve. However, in Wei Xindi's China female platoon number two, the main team members are all around 22 years old. Many athletes have also played in the league in their respective local clubs, and have often fought with the older members of the women's platoon in the league. So, I feel that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the two teams to participate in the same invitation game. Team One and Team Two. . . It's not that you can't become an opponent in a real fight. " Chen Jiaxiang said.

Seeing that Xu Zhenguang was still silent, Chen Jiaxiang continued, "We can close the door of the training ground and fight. We don't even have to fight a few rounds or have to decide the winner. The members of Team Two were all in good health. They also had momentum, as an internal confrontation. They would surely be able to take on the role of a qualified 'opposing party' for Team One. At the same time, Old Xu, you also said. . . Before Team Two leaves for battle at the end of the year, their chances of competing are very low. That. . . Old Xu, Are you willing to give Wei Xindi one more chance to compete?"

"I'm afraid that if the members of Team One and Two lose too much and lose their confidence, it won't be very beneficial to their growth. . . " Xu Zhenguang said.

Chen Jiaxiang laughed and said, "If they lose confidence because of one loss, then I think that this isn't a qualified team. Wei Xindi is not a qualified head coach. "

"How is it? Old Xu? I'll arrange a match for the two of you?" Chen Jiaxiang said.

"Director Chen, let me think about it again!" Xu Zhenguang said and walked out of the training center.

The whole training center was empty. Chen Jiaxiang looked at the lights that had not been turned off and suddenly looked forward to the invitation next week.

He decided that no matter what, he would let Wei Xindi lead the China female platoon to Dong Dong Port to participate in the invitation.

Chen Jiaxiang's main goal was not to let the China female platoon obtain more opportunities to train. In this invitation match, As usual, they would broadcast the competition live to the whole country. Chen Jiaxiang really hoped that. . . Wei Xindi and this young China female volleyball team two would officially show their faces in front of the national fans and let everyone take a look. The China female volleyball team had a successor!

Therefore, this appearance also depended on the performance of the China female platoon's second team in this invitation match against the Japanese female platoon and the German female platoon.

Chen Jiaxiang counted. Apart from one day on the road, one day before the competition, and one day to attend the press conference, China's female platoon number two still had four days to come. To prepare for the invitation match that they were unaware of at this moment.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiaxiang quickly dialed Wei Xindi's number.

On the other side of the phone, as Xu Zhenguang had said, Wei Xindi excitedly said, "Director Chen, of course I will bring my team members to participate in the invitation match. I will also work with my team members to strive to defeat the Japanese female platoon and the German female platoon!"

"Very good!" Chen Jiaxiang said, "Director Wei. Then hurry up and arrange it with the coaching team and the team members. This invitation competition will be broadcasted live throughout the country. I hope that China's female platoon No. 2 will be able to face the people of the country. Show your spirit. That's right, there are 14 members in the team, and not a single one of them is missing. All of you, come to Dong Dong Port! We will depart in three days. I will arrange for the office to book the tickets for you in the afternoon. "

On the other side of the phone, The happy Wei Xindi repeatedly agreed. Chen Jiaxiang thought about it and asked tentatively, "Director Wei, there is something I want to ask you for your opinion on. "

"Director Chen, please speak. " Wei Xindi said.

"This invitation match will not be arranged for the China female platoon to have an official match with the China female platoon," Chen Jiaxiang said. "But if there is a chance, do you want your team members to have an internal teaching match with the China female platoon?"

"This is. . . Instructor Xu's idea?" Wei Xindi asked hesitantly.

"You don't need to care about whose idea it is," Chen Jiaxiang said calmly. "I just want to hear what you think. "

However, on the other end of the phone, Wei Xindi was also silent for a long time. . .
