World Championships Group Theory! Twice missed the opportunity to win the medal, the dream of Milan Zhi Lang Ping was not able to coach the Grand Slam
The women's volleyball world championship on March 1, 2022 revealed the situation of the lottery group, for the lottery group, this issue can only be regarded as a booster to achieve results, not a decisive factor. Looking back at the last four World Championships of the Chinese women's volleyball team, in 2006 and 2010, they missed two good opportunities to win the medal, especially in 2010, they avoided the two finals of the United States and Brazil, which avoided more than one loss, and still missed the top 8, while the new national team coached by Lang Ping at the 2014 Milan World Championships reached the final with difficulty, but lost to the United States team 1-3, missing the best time for the coaching career Grand Slam.
In the course of the Chinese women's volleyball team's participation in the World Championships, whenever the World Championships after winning the gold medal at the Olympic Games, they will always be divided into the death half and the strongest opponents, which is also an inevitable law. In the 2006 World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team as the number one seed, the world's no. 1 to japan, the result in the group with the Athens Olympic runner-up Russia in the same group, and the world no. 2 Brazilian team in the same half of the region, even so the Chinese women's volleyball team still in 2005 and 2006 against brazil team to win more than less, but just in that world championship successively lost, first the group stage lost to Russia and Germany, and then lost to Brazil, the Netherlands in the rematch, only a slight small point advantage to the top 8, Looking back at this World Championship, although the Chinese women's volleyball team is divided into the group of death, it is not supposed to lose to Germany and the Netherlands, which directly leads to the Chinese women's volleyball team not qualifying for the semifinals.
2010 World Championships Chinese women's volleyball group situation is particularly favorable, very promising to win the medal, the group stage and Russia, Turkey, South Korea, Canada, Dominica in the same group, because the 2008 Olympic Games also swept the Russian women's volleyball team 3-0, generally optimistic that the Chinese women's volleyball team won the first place in the group, the result of consecutive losses to Turkey, South Korea and Russia, the Chinese women's volleyball team basically lost the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals, the rematch avoided the United States and Brazil in the case of self-disorder, and lost to Serbia in the rematch, In the end, he did not qualify for the 8th round and only ranked 10th!
2014 World Championships is Lang Ping's second coaching after the first World Series, the Chinese women's volleyball team because of the poor performance of the London Olympic Games, the group once again avoided Brazil and the United States two finals, after successively defeating Puerto Rico, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Japan, Cuba, the Chinese women's volleyball group first place qualified, the rematch only 1-3 lost to Italy, the semi-finals 3-2 victory over The Dominican Republic, 0-3 defeat to Brazil, the semi-final 3-1 revenge Italy, the final 1-3 lost to the American women's volleyball team, The Chinese women's volleyball team and the U.S. team at this World Championship have the help of young players, or the U.S. team made fewer mistakes at key moments, pushing the Chinese team to win the championship for the first time in history, and it is also a great opportunity for Lang Ping to miss coaching the Grand Slam.
The Chinese women's volleyball team at the 2018 World Championships was once again divided into the death half because it was the Olympic champion in Rio, and the world's No. 2 Team of the United States and the two major European teams of Russia and Italy lost to Italy twice, although all other competitions were won, they still failed to advance to the final.
The last four World Championships Chinese women's volleyball team in 2006 and 2018 were divided in the death half because of the previous Olympic championships, and the two sessions in 2010 and 2014 were also divided in the weak group because of the poor Olympic record, but the results of each session will not be proportional to the strength of the group, or depend on their own strength, especially the configuration of the main lineup, which determines the direction of the final result of a competition.
