On April 1, Beijing time, the first leg of the Champions League women's volleyball semifinals, Waqif Bank 3-1 At home to Fenerbahce, took the lead in the two-legged competition. At the time of the downturn of Swedish rising star Hack, Brazil's international Gabi stepped forward to become the biggest contributor to the team's win, and statistics show that in this game, Gabi played a 69% super high success rate of 29 out of 20, and had two net blocks to score. As a small attacker with a height of only 1.80 meters, Gabi can play such a stat in a strong dialogue, which is really breathtaking.
Wakif Bank is a giant in the Turkish Super League, and Chinese fans are mostly familiar with this team, because Zhu Ting has played for this team for three seasons, and led the team to win eight championship trophies, and her individual has also won the MVP six times, achieving a grand slam at the club level. After Zhu Ting left the team, Vakifer Bank brought in Brazilian star Gabi to fill the gap left by Zhu Ting's departure. Although there is a big gap between the height and Zhu Ting, and the styles and characteristics of the two are also very different, Gabi has completed the succession very well, playing the role of Zhu Ting in the team, and in recent seasons, Wakif Bank still has sufficient competitiveness for the champions of all competitions.
Gabi's successful experience in Wakif Bank also has a good reference significance for the Chinese women's volleyball team. After the new coach Cai Bin took office, the Chinese women's volleyball team is facing multiple difficulties, the most affected, is that Zhu Ting's wrist has just undergone surgery, Zhang Changning is also in the recovery period, and this year's Chinese women's volleyball team needs to prepare for the World League, Asian Cup, Asian Games, World Championships and a series of international competitions, if Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning can not participate, the main attacker of the No. 4 position, Cai Bin guidance will appear clumsy.
Although Li Yingying now has the strength to stand alone, if Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning cannot participate, its diagonal candidates, no matter who holds the role, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of controversy, after all, veteran Liu Xiaotong has retired, and Liu Yanhan has missed the previous training camp. In this context, Zhonghui and Wu Han, who performed well in the league last season, have the opportunity to stand out and become a new choice for the main offensive position of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Although Neither Zhonghui nor Wu Han are outstanding in height, Gabi's successful experience at Wakif Bank shows that the small main attacker can also play dazzling data in international competitions and lead the team to good results.
In the absence of Zhang Changning last season, Wu Han led the team to the league runner-up as a core identity, whether it is offensive or one-pass defense, Wu Han's performance can be remarkable, and Zhonghui has successfully entered the best team in the league with his excellent performance in the league. The age and height of the two and Gabi are very close, although at this stage, whether it is Zhonghui or Wu Han, there is still a big gap between them and Gabi, but both have the potential to become the "domestic version of Gabi".
In recent seasons, Cai Bin has been trying the tactics of "high-speed combination" during the coaching of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, while ensuring that there is a high point in the main offensive position, and then configuring a "little fast" style team member to play its diagonal position, such a personnel arrangement has passed the test of actual combat. Therefore, we have reason to believe that Zhonghui and Wu Han have a great opportunity to participate in the competition for Li Yingying's diagonal candidates, as for who can win the two to become "China's little gabi", the World Women's Volleyball League, which started in early June, is a good competition stage.
