C43 Volume 3 Deer Tea

It had been more than a week since the training in the female platoon base in Huan City. That faint and strange feeling still lingered in Lu Ming's heart for a long time without dissipating.

Whether it was the newly appointed executive coach Wei Xindi or the young teammates around him, the arrival of so many new faces made Lu Ming feel that this new episode of the women's platoon was more like a "training team," rather than a "national team" that needed to prepare for the upcoming female volleyball World Cup.

Indeed, there were as many as 40 players on the big list of the new episode of China's female volleyball. Even though some of them did not participate in the training for the time being, there were still more than 25 people who came to Huan City. This was the first time in the history of the women's ranking in the city.

Among these 25 people, the old members who had been selected for the last episode of the women's ranking were her, Han Jiahui, and Li Lin. Including the young members who had also been selected for the China Women's Row last year, Song Simian and Wang Xiaoqing. . . As well as Fang Han, who had been transferred to the national team last year before the World Championship, it could be said that the players who had the previous episode of the China women's volleyball game only accounted for less than a quarter of the total number of players in this episode. As for Xia Zhi, Yuan Jun. Xiong Xin. Xiao Xiao. Lin Yan, Gu Weiyang, Li Mengxi, Huang Yimeng, Li Xuantong, and many other players from last year's China's second female volleyball team, they were all selected for the new episode of China's female volleyball. As the core strength of this team, it also caused the average age of the new season's female volleyball team to drop significantly compared to the last season.

The new China female volleyball season was finally young.

Although the fans could not help but discuss and guess that these young players from various positions were able to make it into the new China female volleyball season, It had nothing to do with whether their former head coach, Wei Xindi, had been promoted to the executive coach of China's female volleyball. However, Lu Ming looked at the problem from a different perspective than the fans. Lu Ming understood that these young teammates had gone through the training of last year's World Championship for the female volleyball competition under the age of 23. They had been reborn - - from the time she represented the Club's Yangpu Women's Row to fight against the other teams in this season's league, she could personally feel it. Besides, In the previous episode, many of the older members of the China Women's Racing Team were also in a situation where they were willing but lacked the strength. Their injuries were too serious!

Lu Ming also knew that the time for the China female platoon to "change blood" had come.

During the training break, Lu Ming glanced at the side of the training ground. The Chief Coach of the China women's ranking, Xu Zhenguang, was sitting steadily on an iron bench by the side of the field. He was holding a fresh thermos and staring at the team members on the training ground.

Even though the title of "Chief Coach" was hung on this training camp, the old marshal, Xu Zhenguang, would come to the training center on time every day with the other members of the coaching team and the team members to spend every day's training time with them.

However, Xu Zhenguang spent almost all his time watching, unlike in the past where he would personally go on stage to guide them, or even personally carry out ball training with his teammates. Most of the time, Xu Zhenguang only sat there quietly, and he rarely even shouted.

Lu Ming felt that at least in the week since the start of the training, Xu Zhenguang had completely given the initiative of the training to the young executive coach, Wei Xindi.

However, would this work? Lu Ming muttered in his heart, a little uncertain.

Wei Xindi was not unfamiliar to her. When Lu Ming was selected for the China women's ranking in the first year, it was also the last year Wei Xindi was chosen for the China women's ranking. That year, Lu Ming watched Wei Xindi rush out of the training center without even turning his head back, leaving her, who was still a small team member at that time, stunned.

She hadn't expected that Wei Xindi would come back after a few years and even become her coach. Lu Ming felt that it was really hard to predict what would happen in the world.

While she, Lin Yan, and Huangyi Meng took a flight from Yangpu to Egret Island to report to the national team, Lu Ming also found an opportunity to chat with his two teammates about Wei Xindi. She really wanted to know, in the eyes of the girls in China's second female platoon last year, What kind of person was Wei Xindi?

Lin Yan and Huang Yimeng were naturally full of praise for Wei Xindi, but Lu Ming was not surprised. Because she knew that Wei Xindi was originally a very amiable person. However, the two of them later pestered Lu Ming about Wei Xindi being on the national team. When they heard the scene of Wei Xindi leaving the national team training center, Lin Yan and Huang Yiming were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.

"It's hard to imagine," Lu Ming smiled and said to the two of them, "This Sister Wei, actually, He's also a very stubborn person. "

. . .

" Lu Ming. " Wei Xindi shouted softly, pulling Lu Ming back from his thoughts.

"Are you alright?" Wei Xindi asked simply.

Lu Ming knew why Wei Xindi called out to her. After all, in that instant just now, she had indeed been somewhat distracted. Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Wei Xindi did not point it out, he smiled and said, "Sister Wei, I'm fine. "

"Okay!" Wei Xindi encouraged her. "Do your best!"

"Come on, come on!" Lu Ming replied.

After this entire training class, Lu Ming didn't even dare to walk for even a second longer. Looking at the young teammates beside him, each and every one of them mustered up their energy, jumping higher and higher when blocking the net, and striking harder and harder when hitting the ball, Lu Ming's emotions were also stirred up by them.

In a trance, Lu Ming seemed to have returned to the few years when he first entered China's female volleyball. At that time, everyone had a common goal: to climb up from the bottom of the valley and climb to the new peak of the World Championship's highest award stage. Under this goal, the girls fought with all their might.

Now, Lu Ming felt that her goal was still very clear: Defending the Olympic Games and creating history. However, before this ultimate goal, she had set one small goal after another for herself. For example, she could stand out from the competition with her young teammates as soon as possible.

Indeed, in the new episode of China's female volleyball, It was true that Lu Ming's identity as an old member gave him the advantage of quickly adapting to the training atmosphere. However, in the position of receiving the second pass, not only did she have 'competitors' in the younger team like Xiong Xin and Yuan Jun, Furthermore, Lu Ming had long heard of Wei Xindi's tactical thinking. He knew that Wei Xindi admired the new fighting style that was currently trending in the female platoon of the world. This tactical thinking. . . Requesting for backup from the second generation to become an important force in the attack and to have a fighting style that was not inferior to the main attack. It even exceeded the main force's attacking ability. It could be said that in this year's China female platoon, The competition pressure Lu Ming faced was unprecedented.

Although Lu Ming still didn't fully understand Wei Xindi's tactical thinking, he didn't know whether Wei Xindi would also bring all of this into this year's China female platoon. However, Lu Ming was already silently accumulating strength, quietly trying to change his inherent attack pattern and slam rhythm. She knew, Only if she made a change would she be able to gain an advantage in this kind of team's benign competition.

However, this kind of proactive change made the other teammates, especially the young second generations, a bit uncomfortable.

Not long after the cooperation training began. Gu Weiyang continuously passed a few balls to Lu Ming until they were not in place. She couldn't help but feel a bit depressed.

"Little rabbit, come down. Let Yi Meng pass a few to your older sister Lu Ming," Wei Xindi said from the side. "You've never cooperated with Lu Ming before, so you should watch and learn more. "

Huang Yimeng, who came from the same club as Lu Ming, also sat firmly in the second position of the main female platoon of Yangpu in this year's league. After playing with Lu Ming for a season, they should have a better understanding of each other. However, Lu Ming was trying to adjust his attacking rhythm. Even though Huang Yiming did not make too big of a mistake in passing the ball several times, the whole cooperation seemed to be bumpy and not very smooth.

Wei Xindi discovered the problem, but did not immediately stop the training. He patiently waited for this group of training to be completed before Wei Xindi called Lu Ming to his side.

"Lu Ming, your slam dunk today is different from when you were in the league. " Wei Xindi went straight to the point.

"Sister Wei, I want to try to change it. " Lu Ming did not hide his true thoughts at all. "I know your tactical thinking is different from Director Xu's. Although my technical style has already been finalized, I want to try it out. . . "

Seeing Lu Ming's serious look, Wei Xindi smiled: "There's no hurry, Lu Ming. That's good too. Next, I'll pass you a few balls personally so that you can play more comfortably, okay? "

Hearing that Wei Xindi was going to personally go and train Lu Ming, the other team members stopped their training and stood at the side of the field, curious and looking forward to it.

"Instructor Lin, please serve the ball on the other side," Wei Xindi shouted at Lin Yichao.

"Okay! Sister Wei!" Lin Yichao loudly agreed and ran to the other side of the arena's bottom line. Xia Zhi had already pushed a full cart of balls to Lin Yichao's side.

"Over here, Little potato, come and get Coach Lin's serve. Give me a pass. " Wei Xindi made arrangements again.

When Li Mengxi heard Wei Xindi call her name, her eyes lit up. She quickly ran over and stood at the back of Wei Xindi and Lu Ming's field.

"Lu Ming, shall we begin?" As Wei Xindi spoke, he exchanged a look with Lu Ming.

"Do your best!" Lu Ming shouted.

The first ball. Lu Ming watched Wei Xindi's every move with full concentration. He saw Wei Xindi adjust Li Mengxi's semi-perfect score perfectly.

"Pa!"

Lu Ming swiftly knocked the ball down.

"Lu Ming, you don't have to stare at my pass," Wei Xindi said. "You can go and attack according to the rhythm and position you want. I'll cooperate with you. "

Lu Ming was stunned. He already understood what Wei Xindi meant.

The second ball came.

Lu Ming was a little skeptical and jumped according to the rhythm she imagined.

Just now, she and Gu Weiyang had also made a similar attack coordination. In the end, Gu Weiyang's passing speed was a little faster than her tempo.

But this time, when Lu Ming's body was at the highest point in front of the net, the volleyball was already safely delivered in front of her by Wei Xindi.

"Slap!"

The sound of the ball, which was as light as the first ball, rang out.

"Good ball!" The surrounding team members all exclaimed in admiration at the same time.

"Again!"

Before Lu Ming could say anything, Wei Xindi shouted excitedly. This ball also seemed to make Wei Xindi's mood surge.

The following few consecutive balls, Lu Ming completely let go. The fast ball in front of the net, the No. 2 fixed point, and even the net opening attack that was close to a three-meter line, she rehearsed them one by one with Wei Xindi. Under Wei Xindi's instructions, the last ball, Lu Ming, simply went to the back of the first position to attack.

The volleyball streaked across the net belt like a meteor, accurately landing in the corner of the first position of the opposite field.

"Wow, 'The World's Longest Line'!" Fang Han couldn't help but shout.

Wei Xindi walked forward and struck Lu Ming with his palm. "Does it feel comfortable?"

"Comfortable!" Lu Ming answered loudly.

"Are you happy?" Wei Xindi asked again.

Lu Ming was stunned and smiled. "Happy!"

"As long as you're happy!" Wei Xindi also chuckled.

With these words, Wei Xindi turned to look at Xu Zhenguang, who was watching the match, and asked loudly, "Director Xu, do you think my ball is going well?"

Xu Zhenguang smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his right hand and gave Wei Xindi and Lu Ming a thumbs up.

"Little bunny, Yi Meng, you two have to work hard too!" Wei Xindi said to Gu Weiyang and Huang Yimeng. "If the team's overall tactics want to be flexible, the second pass can't follow the rules and maintain a rhythm. I'm just giving you a demonstration. You two are very smart. You should already know how to pass this ball. When it's time for the game, Pass the ball to your sister Lu Ming, and deliver the 'cannonballs' to everyone. But the two of you. . . Continue to work hard! "

The two waiters nodded their heads fiercely at the same time.

. . .

The training for the day came to an end in the middle of a heated day.

Lu Ming watched as his teammates left the training center in twos and threes, but he still didn't want to leave. She was the last to go downstairs. She turned around and entered the strength training room on the first floor.

Closing the door, Lu Ming took out his phone from his bag. He opened the music playing app and flipped to the "Training Usage" music list that he had specially arranged.

Listening to his favorite melody float out from the phone, Lu Minglu walked to the familiar equipment and started to do strength training.

After the first group of strength training was done, Lu Ming wiped the sweat off his face and felt a little tired.

After all, she was already in her forties. She was no longer as energetic as the 22-year-old and 23-year-old members of the team who had just joined this year. Moreover, in the recently finished China Women's Racing League, As the main force of the Yangpu Female Racing Team, she had almost started from the beginning to the end. In the third and fourth finals, she had fought three bitter battles with the female volleyball team, and with a result of two wins in three battles, she had helped the team obtain the bronze medal for the third place in the league.

In such a high-intensity league season, even the young players on the same team as Huang Yimeng, Lin Yan, and the others couldn't take it anymore, let alone a "older" player like her.

However, Lu Ming also felt that it was precisely because she was no longer young and was not as energetic as the young players that she needed to put in more effort and sweat in training.

Starting from this closed training session, she set a new rule for herself. Every day after the main lesson ended, she had to come to the Strength Room to do a few more sets of strength training. Lu Ming felt that only by doing so could she maintain her physical strength to a degree that made her feel satisfied. Only then could she not fall into a disadvantageous position in the competition with the young people.

Thinking like this, Lu Ming muttered to himself as he said, "Do your best," and then started a new set of practice.

Lu Ming, who was drenched in sweat, was practicing passionately when he saw the door of the Strength Room being pushed open.

Lu Ming knew that the cleaning lady who was cleaning the training center should have already cleaned up to the Strength Room by now, so he casually said loudly, "Elder Sister, I only have about ten minutes left to practice. Don't worry, you can clean other places first. . . "

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming saw Wei Xindi walk in.

"Okay, where should I clean first?" Wei Xindi joked as he strolled over.

Lu Ming quickly stopped and also stopped the music.

"Like I said, those girls are grimacing in training every day. Why do they still have the energy to 'give themselves a little special treatment'?" Wei Xindi said. "As expected, the older members are more self-aware. "

"No. " Lu Ming smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's precisely because the girls are too hardworking that we senior members feel a deep sense of crisis. If I don't practice more, I'm afraid that it won't be long before they surpass me. "

" Lu Ming, I have to thank you properly. " Wei Xindi suddenly said.

"What are you thanking me for, Sister Wei?" Lu Ming asked without knowing why.

"In today's training class, in order to keep up with the team's tactical style, you. . . Trying to change his technical habits. Some of the girls couldn't understand your hard work. But I can see it. And also, I know you have old injuries, Even though you know that the competition for the new national team is so fierce, you are willing to come back. You are giving a good example to the young team members. So, no matter what, I have to thank you. " Wei Xindi said.

"Sister Wei, what you said. . . " Lu Ming wasn't very good with words. He listened to Wei Xindi's sincere words. He didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he said, "As an old member, this is what I should do. "

Wei Xindi nodded and said with a smile, "I understand. Let's go. Don't practice anymore. Let's go eat. "

"Sis, give me ten more minutes. I'll finish practicing the remaining set. " Lu Ming said.

However, before Lu Ming could continue training, she found Wei Xindi's hand on her shoulder.

"Although I know you might not like to hear this, I still want to advise you. Lu Ming, don't practice today. In the future, don't practice alone like this either. " Wei Xindi said.

Lu Ming was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"The content of the main lesson every day is very sufficient. I know that even if it's those young members, they will still be able to consume their own physical strength. You are an old member, so it is normal that your stamina is not as good as the young ones. Therefore, the burden on your body when you practice overtime every day is too great. " Wei Xindi said.

"But Sister Wei, if I don't practice more, my energy reserves won't be able to keep up!" Lu Ming said, somewhat anxious. She felt that she wasn't afraid of the hardship of training, but she was very afraid that the coach wouldn't let her practice more.

"It's not that I don't want you to practice more," Wei Xindi said. "I just hope that you can practice more scientific. Deer Tea, unscientific training is not only half the effort, but also half the effort. And it will not do you any good. This year's closed training has only just begun, you might not be able to experience it for the time being. But I've discussed it with Instructor Xu. I will have some new attempts in this year's physical training. I hope that each team member will be given different training content for different types of different types of physical training. I hope that everyone will be able to complete physical fitness training in a more scientific manner and make up for their lack of physical fitness. Prepare your physical fitness reserves. So, you have to believe me, I won't let you fall behind, and I won't let any of my team members fall behind!"

Looking at Wei Xindi's sincere eyes, Lu Ming, who was originally somewhat skeptical, finally walked down from the training equipment.

"Sister Wei," Lu Ming said softly, "I believe you!"
