Jiangsu women's volleyball team advanced to the final, presumably many fans did not expect such a result in advance. When analyzing why the Jiangsu women's volleyball team will achieve such results, most fans will think that it is a blowout of young players and the proper command of the coach, and few people mention the collective progress of the 3 veterans.
In this league, Gong Xiangyu, Wu Han and Diao Linyu 3 old players have greatly improved in both their skills and stability, and it is precisely because of the escort of these 3 players that the Jiangsu women's volleyball team can go all the way to the present. Why would the author call these 3 people veterans? Gong Xiangyu and Diao Linyu have both participated in the 2nd National Games, and their age is in front of them, so it is not wrong to call them veterans.
The only possible controversy is Wu Han. If you look at it from the perspective of age, there is still a certain gap between Wu Han and the veteran, but in this league, her competition experience is not only in the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, but even in the 14 teams can be regarded as a "veteran". And in the last National Games cycle, Wu Han is the focus of Jiangsu women's volleyball training, if it is not her own lack of strength, it is estimated that the National Games will let her focus.
After Xu Ruoya left the team, Wu Han took over the mantle and took on the heavy responsibility of attacking and defending the team. In the system of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, Wu Han needs to undertake a large number of one-pass tasks with Ni Feifan, while Wu Mengjie is only responsible for slipping away and taking a pass, and does not participate in the first-pass system in the front row 3 rounds. The same was true for Gong Xiangyu's side, in order to protect her attack as much as possible, so she could not pass without passing, all handed over to Wu Han and Ni Feifan.
The reason why Wu Han was counterattacked by Xu Ruoya in the last cycle was because the back row support ability was weak. However, after the experience of the National Games and the Championship, Wu Han has made obvious progress, and she has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the team's attack and defense. Wu Han has received 340 passes so far, and is the heaviest player in the Jiangsu women's volleyball team. Under such heavy pressure of a pass, Wu Han's score can still rank in the top ten of the scoring list, ranking ninth with 239 points.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this Jiangsu women's volleyball team, Wu Han's role is no less than that of Gong Xiangyu. In the second game of the semifinals, it was because of Wu Han's poor performance that it led to the loss. Now no player in the Jiangsu women's volleyball team can replace Wu Han on the field, Zhou Pageong and Tang Xin are both strong in attack and weak in protection, and it is difficult to balance the balance between attack and defense.
The second pass Diao Linyu is no longer foul is also the key to the team's way to the present. In the past, Diao Linyu would always drop the chain at key moments, the pass accuracy was inaccurate, and the passing idea was short-circuited. However, in this league, Diao Linyu rarely appears in this situation, even if it appears occasionally, she can restore to the best state in time through self-adjustment. Diao Linyu's reasonable scheduling also made the 3 young players of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team play a style. If you use the young second pass, maybe Yang Jia, Wan Ziyue and Wu Mengjie will not be talked about by fans.
Gong Xiangyu has also made great progress after becoming the captain, and her offensive changes are visible to the naked eye. In the last league, Gong Xiangyu's attack has been extremely lethal, ranking fourth in the scoring list. In this league, Gong Xiangyu has become a "ball oiler", and the slam is no longer a hard buckle, but a trick. After many counterattacks, you can always find the opponent's defensive loopholes, and then score points with four or two strokes. Gong Xiangyu's attack also allowed the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to get rid of the "Zhang Changning dependence".
The progress of the veteran, the non-timidity of the newcomers, the veterans use practical actions to drive the newcomers, which is the reason why the Jiangsu women's volleyball team can step by step to the final, which also reflects the strong cohesion of the team.
