The new Chinese women's volleyball team has entered the countdown stage of the team. Cai Bin will select all kinds of talents in the position of main attack, secondary attack, reception, second pass and free man. In terms of personnel reserves in 5 positions, the second pass line is quite worrying, because veterans such as Ding Xia, Yao Di Diao Linyu, and other veterans such as Cai Yaqian and Xu Xiaoting have no experience in major competitions.
Cai Yaqian and Xu Xiaoting are the more prominent newcomers in the second pass position in the league, both of them are 24-year-old players born in 1998. In fact, these two players should be the second pass that was cultivated in the last cycle, but unfortunately, during Lang Ping's coaching, the two were not selected into the training team, which also caused the lack of experience in the two competitions.
First, let's look at the situation on Cai Yaqian's side. Cai Yaqian can be said to be the second pass of Gen Zheng Miao Hong, as the second pass and captain of the national youth women's volleyball team, she is widely optimistic with her flexible passing characteristics. After being promoted to the adult team, in order to make Cai Yaqian grow up quickly, the Shandong women's volleyball team also sent her to the Beijing women's volleyball team for guidance by Ding Xia's mentor Zheng Zongyuan.
The days when she played in the Beijing women's volleyball team was the fastest time for Cai Yaqian to grow. At that time, the Beijing team only had one Cai Yaqian available for the second pass, so she got a lot of opportunities to play. However, it is regrettable that in the semi-finals, Cai Yaqianwei was injured in her foot, and this injury made her career change a lot. Mei Xiaohan jumped up and became the main training object of the Shandong women's volleyball team.
Fortunately, through the recovery, Cai Yaqian returned to the main squad in the 21-22 season. As far as the league is concerned, Cai Yaqian, like Diao Linyu and Ding Xia, like to pursue fast and changeable second passes, her second and third positions have strong passing ability, and the organization of fast attack effects is good, but the disadvantage is that the finger strength is insufficient, and there will be no ball head in long-distance passes. This still needs to be strengthened.
Xu Xiaoting is a young second pass that the Shanghai women's volleyball team focuses on cultivating, and she is also a second pass who pursues rapid change. However, compared with Cai Yaqian, Xu Xiaoting still needs to improve her passing stability and psychological quality. Xu Xiaoting's key matches will always have a follow-up pass, and the cooperation between xu Xiaoting and the secondary attack is not tacit enough. However, once the non-critical game is reached, Xu Xiaoting's passing ideas will become wider, and the coordination with the vice attack will become more fluent.
Many fans have classified Cai Yaqian and Xu Xiaoting as the new second pass, but after carefully reviewing their domestic game experience and age, they will find that they are already the second pass of the Middle Generation, and have played the adult group competition and the 1st National Games for 4 years. As mentioned above, because the national team did not exercise the young second pass in the last cycle, it is obviously unrealistic for the World Championships, the Asian Games and other competitions to rely on the experience of the competition as a blank piece of paper.
In the last cycle, although the Chinese women's volleyball training team went in and out of many second passes, it did not leave its origins, and Ding Xia, Yao Di and Diao Linyu occupied the national team seat to death. If these 3 second passes can form an echelon, it is understandable, but these 3 people are the same group of team members, Ding Xia 90 years, Yao Di 92 years, Diao Linyu 94 years. According to age, they are all veterans of the women's volleyball team, especially Ding Xia and Yao Di.
These 3 veterans are now facing the dilemma of being cheap and old. Ding Xia showed her current situation of declining competitive status during the Tokyo Olympic Games; although Yao Di improved through the National Games and the Olympic Games, her injury was difficult to insist on letting her play in the Paris Olympic Games; Diao Linyu's state still had a large degree of decline compared to the 20-21 league season. Summarizing the current situation of the women's volleyball team's second pass, it is described in one sentence as "the second pass line is aging." "Although the veteran's state has declined, because the Mesozoic generation has been delayed, he can only continue to use the second generation."
