Since the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to successfully defend the Olympic champion at the Tokyo Olympic Games and set the worst record in history, some fans have not stopped their "crusade" against players who performed poorly in the Olympic Games, among which Gong Xiangyu, who received the second pass, is naturally one of the players who have been criticized. In fact, in recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the "three major competitions" has been very good, but the fans have never been satisfied with the performance of the players in the matching position, more precisely, they are not very satisfied with Gong Xiangyu's performance, especially her attack. Objectively speaking, Gong Xiangyu's attack is really not good on the international stage, and it has been like this in the big competitions over the years, what does this mean? That is, Gong Xiangyu's own offensive level is like this, and the requirements beyond her ability range are difficult for strongmen. Gong Xiangyu's offensive strength is not strong fans know, so don't the national team coaching staff know? The answer is obviously no, so why does the national team let Gong Xiangyu play the main force? That is, there is no one more suitable than her at the moment.
In fact, the weak offensive ability of the Chinese women's volleyball team to receive position players is not only now, most of the time in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the offensive level of the receiving position is not strong, especially the second position and the second fixed point attack, this is not Gong Xiangyu as the main force of the Chinese women's volleyball team to receive the second pass only appeared. In the "golden generation" women's volleyball team, the attack of Zhou Suhong, who is known as the best in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, often causes controversy, although Zhou Suhong's offensive score is quite a lot, but her fixed point offensive strength is indeed limited, which Zhou Suhong herself has admitted. Of course, the Chinese women's volleyball team's offensive ability to receive the second pass is relatively speaking, compared with the strong players of the European and American teams, the attack of our players is not a little bit worse than them, but a full range of backwardness. Gong Xiangyu's attack cannot be compared with Agnu, Boskovic, Huck and others, and Zhou Suhong's attack is also not as good as the high-level strong receivers in Europe and the United States in the same period.
Does that mean that the Chinese women's volleyball team receiving the second pass is completely a decoration? The answer is obviously no, most of the Chinese women's volleyball team in history is a comprehensive technical player, they not only shoulder the offensive task, but also need to do a good job in the next three technical links such as a pass defense, "golden generation women's volleyball" period, Zhou Suhong not only shouldered the second position to run the offensive task, she also had to shoulder six rounds of one pass and the back row defense and other tasks, one of the most irreplaceable players of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Gong Xiangyu is currently in the national team as well, although the task of one pass defense is not as heavy as Zhou Suhong's in the national team, but also undertakes a considerable part of the first pass task, while Europe and the United States strongly receive the second pass is not to undertake the first pass task. Of course, the Chinese women's volleyball team received the second pass not because it undertook the task of defending the first pass and reduced the offensive level, but because there was no particularly strong offensive ability to contribute to the team in other links, and the Chinese women's volleyball team has been the main player of the national team to receive the second pass, Gong Xiangyu is just one of them.
Objectively speaking, the Chinese women's volleyball team is not inseparable from Gong Xiangyu at present, but the team needs "Gong Xiangyu-style reception", and the so-called Gong Xiangyu-style reception is actually a technically comprehensive second pass. There are two reasons why the Chinese women's volleyball team cannot make a strong response, on the one hand, the player's innate physical condition is limited, and the other is caused by the concept of Chinese volleyball. The offensive ability of Asian players is not strong is not unique to the Chinese women's volleyball team, but all Asian players are so, the strong way of playing is to meet the players from any place on the field can launch an attack, the Chinese women's volleyball team does not have such players at this stage, our attackers play the back row attack are difficult, not to mention the back row attack as the main offensive means.
In addition, in the domestic women's volleyball world, most of the young players with strength are arranged by the coach to play the main attack as soon as they touch the volleyball, which is also the main reason why there are often excellent players emerging in the main offensive position and there is no newcomer to the second pass. However, in any case, the Chinese women's volleyball team can not completely copy the European and American teams for a long time, the Most suitable player for the Chinese women's volleyball team to receive the second pass is that the front row must have the absolute strength to participate in the attack, and the back row must also have the ability to pass defense and other lower three-way technology. The Chinese women's volleyball team does not necessarily need Gong Xiangyu, but it must need a strengthened version of the "Gong Xiangyu style receiving the second pass".
