The Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Canadian women's volleyball team, and it was indeed a bad performance. The quality of the second setter Diao Linyu's passing is poor, too fast, and the cooperation with his teammates is very tacit, which makes it difficult for the main offensive line to smash the ball comfortably. The Chinese team could not maintain the lead in the situation, and let the opponent chase the points continuously, and the mentality of the players collapsed. Cai Bin's on-the-spot command still didn't work, and it failed to turn the situation around. Zhang Changning's state has not yet recovered. In the fourth game, Zhang Changning started and played the whole game. Zhang Changning's performance was not good, his offense and defense were not good, and Cai Bin did not make substitutions.

The Chinese team scored 3 more points in attack than the Canadian team, but blocked 2 points less than the opponent. Wang Yuanyuan and Yuan Xinyue did not play much of a role.
The mentality of the Chinese players collapsed at the last moment, and the Canadian team easily scored on the serve. The Canadian team scored 13 points on serve, seven more than the Chinese team. Cai Bin must adjust the mentality of the players in time, and don't have any problems with his self-confidence. How is this game still played?
In individual scoring statistics, Li Yingying scored a Chinese team's highest 24 points, 21 points on offense, and 3 points on serve.

Teenager Wu Mengjie scored 12 points, which can only be regarded as average. Wang Yuanyuan scored 9 points, and Yuan Xinyue scored 7 points. The two secondary attackers did not perform very well. Diao Linyu didn't dare to pass the ball to Zhang Changning. Zhang Changning deducted 4 times and only scored 2 points.
Canada's Vanrijk scored a game-high 27 points. knows that Van Rijk is powerful, and the Chinese team just can't prevent it. Gray was also strong, scoring 21 points. In addition, White scored nine points and Johnson scored eight.
The reason why the Canadian team is strong is that it has Van Rijk and Gray. Although volleyball is a team sport, the role of stars cannot be ignored. A team still needs to have two or three strong players.
Now the Chinese women's volleyball team, except for Li Yingying, does not have another strong scoring point. can only wait for Zhu Ting to return to the team.
After Zhu Ting's return, she can not only solve the offensive problem, but also greatly improve the team's confidence. This is what the Chinese team needs most.
