The latest schedule of the Women's Volleyball League has been announced, and 14 teams will complete the final round robin tournament from December 22-28, which is different from the previous six-round format. Although the final rules of the game have not been officially announced, according to the current development trend, only the final four can be produced through a large round robin competition, which is fairer for each team.
After the temporary change of the league rules, the promotion situation of each team has changed. Since the start of the competition, the Tianjin women's volleyball team has won 10 consecutive victories, accumulated 30 points, and firmly occupies the first position. Although the last three games of the second stage will play against the Shanghai women's volleyball team, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, and the Liaoning women's volleyball team, the Tianjin women's volleyball team is expected to win 13 consecutive victories as long as it plays normally, and advance to the final four with the first place in total points. At present, the fifth is the Shandong women's volleyball team, 7 wins and 3 losses with 22 points, as long as the Tianjin women's volleyball team wins another game, the points can reach 33 points. Even if the Shandong women's volleyball team wins 3 consecutive games in the back, it will be 31 points at most, which cannot surpass Tianjin at all, so the Tianjin women's volleyball team will win another game and advance to the final four.
The Shandong women's volleyball team wants to enter the top four with many difficulties, the strength of the Shanghai women's volleyball team and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team are above Shandong, and the opponent of Shandong's ability to fight is only the Liaoning women's volleyball team, and it may not be able to win. If the Shandong women's volleyball team loses to the Liaoning women's volleyball team, it will miss the final four in advance.
The first three of this season have surfaced. In addition to the old hegemony Tianjin women's volleyball team, the previous league championship favorite Shanghai women's volleyball team and Jiangsu women's volleyball team are also close behind. The Shanghai women's volleyball team currently has 27 points from 9 wins and 1 loss, second only to the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Although the back game can not beat the Tianjin women's volleyball team, but the victory over Shandong and Guangdong is not a big problem, Shanghai is also one step away from advancing to the top four. Jiangsu women's volleyball team this season's main lineup vacancies, captain Zhang Changning due to injury truce, although relying on a group of young players to play, but Gong Xiangyu, Diao Linyu, Ni Feifan are active national players, Jiangsu women's volleyball players are also growing, the strength of the team remains within the top four. In the previous game, 9 wins and 1 loss also accumulated 27 points, which is basically no gap with Tianjin and Shanghai.
Although Shanghai and Jiangsu have a high probability of losing to Tianjin, the match against Shandong and Guangdong is the key to their points increase, and it will not change their current position. In the round robin tournament that has ended, Tianjin, Shanghai and Jiangsu are firmly in the top three, and there is a certain change in the last four seats. The most likely to advance is still Liaoning or Shandong, Liaoning women's volleyball team is currently 9 wins and 1 loss with 26 points, ranking fourth. The last three games have the ability to beat Shandong and Guangdong, and it does not matter if they lose to Tianjin. The Shandong women's volleyball team now has only 22 points, not to mention 4 points behind Liaoning, and the last three rounds of opponents basically can't beat, and there is a high probability of missing the top four.
As for the Guangdong women's volleyball team, the situation with the Shandong women's volleyball team is similar, not only the points are only 20 points, but the next three rounds are afraid to suffer consecutive defeats. Even the position of the top six is difficult to keep, because the seventh place Shenzhen women's volleyball team has four games left, all against weak teams, if all win, the points are expected to be as high as 24 points, surpassing the Guangdong women's volleyball team is just around the corner.
