In the 2016-2017 women's volleyball league, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team won the first league championship in the history of the team under the leadership of Cai Bin. This milestone brilliant achievement undoubtedly encouraged the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, and then won the Tianjin National Games championship with a single blow. The Jiangsu women's volleyball team with the double crown is naturally full of ambition and full of spirit, and the grand cause of creating a Jiangsu women's volleyball dynasty has quietly unfolded. However, in the following season, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team was reversed at home by the Tianjin women's volleyball team, which was generally unoptimistic from the outside world, and the confidence in creating a dynasty was lost by nearly half.
For this unplanned defeat, Cai Bin gave an explanation: "For Li Yingying's blocking, I think it is not only the problem of the Jiangsu team. Other teams also know to focus on Li Yingying. She is a very powerful player, I think this is very gratifying, there is such a talented athlete, it is a good thing for the Chinese women's volleyball team." Captain Zhang Changning said: "Li Yingying's attack is very strong, and we are not fully prepared ourselves." From the statements of the two, it is not difficult to see that both Cai Bin and Zhang Changning have affirmed Li Yingying's offensive ability, and Cai Bin also believes that Li Yingying will be the focus of the future teams.
Since then, whether other teams have studied the blocking against Li Yingying is unknown, but Cai Bin has certainly not given up carefully studying how to block Li Yingying. This is not only because Cai Bin is an arrogant person who pursues the goal of championship. It is also because the Jiangsu women's volleyball team has the dream of creating a Jiangsu women's volleyball dynasty. However, the Tianjin women's volleyball team is like a mountain on the road to victory of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, no matter which goal to achieve, you need to first cross the Tianjin women's volleyball team. And if you want to cross the Tianjin women's volleyball team, the only way is undoubtedly to suppress Li Yingying's attack.
As we all know, Li Yingying has been known for her strong attack power since her debut, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that she is second to none in domestic competitions. However, some people are not willing to accept this fact, saying that this is because the teams are not familiar with Li Yingying's left-handed attack, and after adapting to Li Yingying's attack, Li Yingying will be stopped and distributed. This seems to coincide with Cai Bin's idea of suppressing Li Yingying's attack, but the difference is that Cai Bin, a professional, knows that this is not easy.
The reason why Cai Bin believes that it is not easy to suppress Li Yingying is not because of the characteristics of Li Yingying's left hand attack, but because Li Yingying's attack is unpredictable. Not only are the smashing techniques changeable, buckle, wipe, poke, hang the hand, but also the slam line differentiation, straight line, two straight line, large slash, small slash and other lines are more familiar with the road. In addition, Li Yingying can also observe the opponent's defensive position and the state of the net blocker when slaming the ball, making the opponent invincible, and it is difficult to arrange an effective blocking system for travel.
From the beginning of the confidence of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to create a dynasty, to cai Bin's departure from the Jiangsu women's volleyball team as the manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team met the Tianjin women's volleyball team once in the league semifinals, the Tianjin women's volleyball team twice in the final, the Tianjin women's volleyball team once in the final of the National Games, and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team did not win in the four final stages. Such a result is enough to show that Cai Bin has not found an effective way to suppress Li Yingying in the past few years, and it can also be said that Li Yingying has made the arrogant Cai Bin suffer a lot.
The fact that Cai Bin did not find a way to suppress Li Yingying did not mean that Cai Bin did not find a way. This can be seen from the 2020-2021 women's volleyball league season Cai Bin sacrificed a net-sticking net. However, while Cai Bin's defense against Li Yingying has been improving, Li Yingying's own growth has continued, and in the end, Cai Bin's speed of improving defense has not been able to catch up with Li Yingying's growth rate. However, Cai Bin is not without gains, at least under the premise of years of in-depth research, Cai Bin knows Li Yingying's offensive ability the most, and can even be said to be the most convincing. Now that Cai Bin is the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is natural to reuse Li Yingying.
