From the beginning of June to play the World Women's Volleyball League, there are less than two months left, the Chinese women's volleyball team is about to launch a new phase of training, although Cai Bin guidance has not yet announced the list of players, but considering that after the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, there are many veterans who have chosen to retire, plus some of the players are in the recuperation period, so it is foreseeable that the Chinese women's volleyball team will usher in a "big change of face", especially in the secondary attack position, due to Yan Ni's departure, the main candidate of the No. 3 position is full of variables, Among them, Zheng Yixin, who plays for the Fujian women's volleyball team, is expected to counterattack and play the role of Yan Ni's successor.
It is no exaggeration to say that the no. 3 position of the secondary attack position, is the most fierce competition position of the Chinese women's volleyball team, compared to the current situation of the shortage of talents in the reception and the second pass, the Chinese women's volleyball team has appeared "excess talent" in the secondary attack position, although the retirement of the veteran Yan Ni, the competitiveness of the team's tennis mouth has been affected to a certain extent, but Yuan Xinyue through the experience of two Olympic cycles, now 26 years old she is in the year of the fight, plus Wang Yuanyuan, Zheng Yixin, Gao Yi, Yang Hanyu, Hu Mingyuan and other young deputy attackers, They are also in the golden age of their careers, so Cai Bin's guidance in this position has plenty of personnel to choose from.
The young deputy attackers of the Chinese women's volleyball team can be said to have their own characteristics, Wang Yuanyuan has outstanding ability to block the net, the offensive ability is also steadily improving, and her experience in international competitions is also more abundant. Gao Yi and Yang Hanyu's physical condition is even better, both of them are young and famous, and they have also participated in many international competitions. Although Hu Mingyuan is relatively "short", she is fast and is a very characteristic small sub-attacker. Comparatively speaking, Zheng Yixin's competition experience is not as good as Wang Yuanyuan, his height is not as good as Yang Hanyu and Gao Yi, and his speed is not as good as Hu Mingyuan, and he seems to be at a disadvantage in the competition of the main candidates.
However, Zheng Yixin's advantages were also not available to several other secondary attackers. Zheng Yixin's advantages can be summarized in two words: that is, "comprehensive". Although it is not a style of exalting high play, Zheng Yixin's net blocking data in the league is not bad. At the same time, Zheng Yixin is a "small fast" type of secondary attack, if she and Yuan Xinyue partner the secondary attack line, just can complement each other, the No. 3 position of the Chinese women's volleyball team will form a "one high and one fast" configuration, which is just in line with the "high and fast combination" tactics guided by Cai Bin.
Zheng Yixin is not only good at the regular attack of the No. 3 position, but also the tactical balls such as the back fly of the No. 2 position, Zheng Yixin can also complete, and she has made a cameo appearance in the receiving position before. What is even more valuable is that although the main attack on the field is the No. 3 position, Zheng Yixin's pass and defensive ability are even better than many teams' side attackers, even if they rotate to the back row, they do not need to be replaced by free people, because Zheng Yixin can also play the role of free people on the field in the back row. A technically comprehensive deputy attacker like Zheng Yixin, even if you look at the world volleyball arena, is very rare, there is a player of this type of Zheng Yixin in the team, and the head coach's platoon arrangement and on-the-spot adjustment will have more room for change.
On the surface, 27-year-old Zheng Yixin, when the next Olympic Games, will enter the ranks of "veterans" and seems to no longer have too high training value. However, the secondary attack is a position with more experience, such as the "North Great Wall" Yan Ni of the Chinese women's volleyball team, who played the main force in the national team at the age of 28, and after passing 30 years, she won the best secondary attack at the World Championship and the World Cup. Therefore, Zheng Yixin still has enough time to prove his worth and contribute to the national team.
