Zhu Ting's wrist injury has been affecting fans for three years. Before the Tokyo Olympics, in order not to miss the competition, she chose conservative treatment, and as a result, the injuries were repeatedly aggravated; after the Tokyo Olympics, they all thought that she would have surgery immediately, but almost 7 months later, she still did not hear from her for surgery.
However, she went to the United States for surgery in April, which was basically fixed. Zhu Ting is rumored to be undergoing surgery at a private medical center in Houston, with the attending physician named Jeremy Mark. If all goes well, Zhu Ting will be able to make a basic recovery 5 to 8 months after the operation, and she will be able to return to the Chinese women's volleyball team.
This means that Zhu Ting will definitely miss the 2022 World Championships. After the return, it is unknown to what extent the 28-year-old can recover her state, so Cai Bin will inevitably find a new team core and a more mature main lineup during the time when Zhu Ting left.
As a result, Zhu Ting may not be able to become an important soul figure like the two Olympic cycles of Rio and Tokyo, and she may become Liu Xiaotong in Rio, and is expected to play the role of the team's miracle soldier. To say this is not to be sensationalized.
First of all, in the main offensive position, Li Yingying will inevitably become the new core that Cai Bin relies on, and Zhang Changning is the right-hand man that Cai Bin has used for many years, and the two of them are the main force without accident. Coupled with Wu Mengjie and other newcomers are very worthy of training, the No. 4 position of the Chinese women's volleyball team is already strong enough, and it is "overcrowded". In this way, Zhu Ting, whose state is unknown, should be the third or fourth main attack.
Secondly, the chinese women's volleyball team's reception position is really weak, Gong Xiangyu has basically reached his upper limit, and it is impossible to make progress in attack. And Chen Peiyan, who has excellent physical condition, has poor talent, and the 16-year-old Wang Yifan is really too young, which gives Zhu Ting the opportunity to become the second recipient of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Please do not see the "third and fourth main attack" or "second response" to question the author, thinking that the author has the suspicion of black Zhu Ting, on the contrary, this is an affirmation of the importance of Zhu Ting. An athlete who has been injured for a long time will have some psychological shadows, if he rushes to return to the main identity, once he does not play well, it will have a huge negative impact on confidence, which is likely to ruin Zhu Ting.
What's more, Zhu Ting's age is here, although her physical fitness is good, she is not a particularly strong player, and it is also a kind of injury for her to continue to participate in the game with high intensity. Let Li Yingying rush out, let the opponent adapt to the rhythm of Li Yingying, and suddenly replace it with a strange and familiar Zhu Ting, the effect may be better.
In the Lang Ping era, both of us Olympic Games were looking for the Miracle Soldier. At the Rio Olympics, we suddenly found two, Liu Xiaotong, who made great contributions to the team's victory over Brazil in the quarterfinals, counted one, and Zhang Changning, who was in the main attack and receiving position, was also counted as one. But in Tokyo, Lang Ping seems to be interested in making Li Yingying a strange soldier, but unfortunately, before letting Li Yingying play, the Chinese women's volleyball team has been out of the group in advance.
At the Paris Olympics, Cai Bin may be happier than Lang Ping, and many young generals, such as Wu Mengjie and Liu Yu, are expected to become strange soldiers, and even former superstars such as Zhu Ting may also play the role of strange soldiers. Perhaps, the future Chinese women's volleyball team will not only have Plan B, but also Plan C.
