The names of the first and second teams of the women's volleyball team have been announced. Although the two 40-man lists include the stars and potential young players of the current year, there are still some middle-aged players who have not been selected, especially the lack of national teams of Hu Mingyuan, Liu Yu and Zhonghui, which has aroused wide discussion among fans.
The author believes that the reason why these 3 people will be eliminated is that they have suffered a lot of losses in height. Let's start with Hu Mingyuan. Hu Mingyuan is the marginal secondary attacker of the last cycle, who has represented the women's volleyball team in the World Championships and has played well. Hu Mingyuan's technical characteristics are similar to those of former national player Liu Yanan, all of which are mainly based on fast playing, so fans have given her a nickname of "Little Hu Flying Knife".
The main reason why Hu Mingyuan will take the traditional Asian secondary attack route is her lack of height. According to the official data given by the Volleyball Association, Hu Mingyuan's height is only 186cm, which is still short in modern volleyball, especially in the secondary attack position. After the height is short, the disadvantage of the net mouth will increase, and Cai Bin is a coach who pays great attention to the ability to block the net, so it is reasonable that Hu Mingyuan is not favored.
Liu Yu is the new sub-attack of the Zhejiang women's volleyball team in recent years, and her characteristics are just the opposite of Hu Mingyuan, and she is a player with a strong attack on the net. So, why is she still abandoned by Cai Bin with good net blocking ability? Although Liu Yu's blocking strength is good, it is limited to domestic leagues, and when it comes to the international arena, Liu Yu's height of 190cm does not have much advantage in the secondary attack position.
At present, Liu Yu's situation is very similar to her sister Yang Zhou, with good judgment and hand shape, she can hold up a piece of the sky in China, but on the international stage at a higher level, foreign players can directly attack with their hands and do not give you any chance to block the net. Yang Zhou's previous international events have had this problem, as long as the opponent raises the offensive point, he can only look at the ball and sigh. In addition, Liu Yu's weak offensive is also a major problem.
Zhonghui is the main attacker of the Shanghai women's volleyball team, she has 6 rounds of one pass, and has become the core of the Shanghai team in the league. Many fans feel that even if Zhonghui can't be shortlisted for the first team, she will definitely have her place in the second team, but as far as the list is currently announced, Zhonghui even the second team has also failed. Like Liu Yu and Hu Mingyuan, the main reason for Zhonghui's failure is still her height.
According to the data of the Volleyball Association, Zhonghui is only 181cm tall, which is not to say that he is playing the main attack, and even playing the second pass is a bit short. For the attacker, the height disadvantage will not be reflected in the attack, because the offense can be compensated by various techniques, as long as the score is good, but the height disadvantage will be reflected in the blocking net. In the league, why Zhonghui's Shanghai team lost to Jiangsu and did not qualify for the final was related to the poor strength of the net, which was repeatedly overtaken, making it difficult for the defenders in the back row to take the position.
Although Hu Mingyuan, Liu Yu and Zhonghui were all missing the first and second teams of the women's volleyball team due to their height, they still had the opportunity to attack the Asian Cup quota. As far as the content of the notice is concerned, the second team is mainly to prepare for the Universiade, and there may be a group of players who will be replaced after the Universiade, after all, the intensity of the Asian Cup is stronger than that of the Universiade. If the team wants to win the Universiade, it still needs some Middle Generation players. The height of these 3 people is still enough in the Asian arena, and I hope that they can work hard to improve their abilities in the provincial team.
