On December 28, the 2021-2022 Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League ended the round robin competition, after 15 rounds of competition, 14 teams also scheduled seats, Tianjin, Shanghai, Suzhou, Liaoning will compete for the final championship, Shenzhen, Lu, Guangdong and Fujian will participate in the 5-8 qualifying round. Here's a look back at the surprises and somewhat lost teams in the round-robin phase.
Low open high go team.
Jiangsu team
Jiangsu team may be the most surprising team in the new season, before the season Wang Chenyue, Xu Ruoya and other veterans retired, Yang Wenjin, Wei Yuxin, Zang Qianqian and other Mesozoic to aid the Shenzhen team, the core of the team Zhang Changning was absent due to injury, Jiangsu team can only push Wu Mengjie, Yang Jia, Wan Ziyue, Zhou Pageong and other post-00s young generals to the main position, after the big blood change, jiangsu team still has how much combat strength is doubtful.
After the 0-3 defeat to Liaoning in the opening match of the new season, Jiangsu team was even more looked down upon by the outside world. However, Jiangsu's subsequent wave of 10 consecutive wins surprised everyone, and the young team improved a little with each game, gradually completing the "ugly duckling" transformation and finally advancing to the final four two rounds in advance.
Shenzhen team
This new army in the Volleyball Super League is completely ad hoc patchwork, many players are loaned from other teams, although there is no lack of zhang Yichan, Bian Yuqian and other well-known players, but the degree of tacit understanding between each other is not enough, coupled with the restrictions of the avoidance clause, there is still a lot of gap between the strength and the old strong team, so the team will set the season goal to "break into the top eight".
In the first stage, Shenzhen lost to Jiangsu, Shanghai and Liaoning, and ranked 4th in the group with 3 wins and 3 losses, hovering on the edge of the top eight. In the second stage, after Shenzhen defeated Guangdong, it won 5 consecutive wins, and finally surpassed Shandong and Guangdong teams, rising to the fifth place, exceeding the season goal.
Fujian team
In the first stage of the league, the Fujian team only defeated the two weak teams in Henan and Beijing, ranking 5th in the group with 2 wins and 4 losses, and lost two consecutive games in the first two games of the second stage, just when the outside world thought that the Fujian team was going to accompany the prince to study this season, the Fujian team played a wave of 5 consecutive wins and snatched the last ticket to the quarterfinals.
Compared with the team's promotion to the top 8, the growth of the players may be more pleasing to the Fujian team. The Fujian team basically relied on Zheng Yixin's little attack in the past, and the new head coach Shen Ze activated Lin Yuexin and boldly promoted the newcomer Zhuang Yushan, so that the Fujian team formed an "offensive trident", the attacking power was greatly improved, and it was not surprising that the team's performance rebounded.
Some lost teams.
Beijing team
Two years ago, Beijing team is still a well-known championship team, did not expect that after zeng Chunlei and Liu Xiaotong retired, Beijing team suffered an avalanche decline, this season only defeated Hebei team, completely reduced to a fish belly team, compared with other teams, Beijing team newcomers obviously fell behind.
Guangdong team
The Guangdong team gives people a feeling of "weak but not strong", Li Yao and Chen Peiyan are not small players, Wang Yifan is a blockbuster this season, becoming a hot new star, guangdong team strength is not weak.
However, many of the games that should be won, the Guangdong team was lost, resulting in the volleyball association not being able to get off the stage and having to temporarily change the rules. In the end, the Guangdong team only finished seventh in the qualifying round of 5-8.
Shandong team
Shandong team famous players gathered, Yang Hanyu, Du Qingqing, Wang Mengjie, Sun Jie, Mei Xiaohan, etc. are all former national players, can be described as a wealth of talents, it should be said that it is a strong contender for the four strong, did not expect that the end of the second stage, Shandong team only ranked 6th in the standings. The 7-22-point record is far from the fourth-place Liaoning team's 11-32 points, and it is obviously pulled away.
