Lijins' new Chinese women's volleyball team list was announced, and Yao Di, who had previously missed the training camp due to injury, was once again defeated. Some people think that Cai Bin has completely abandoned Yao Di, and some people think that Yao Di still has the possibility of airborne landing. In fact, Yao Di's failure and Zhu Ting's and Zhang Changning's failure are not fundamentally different, all because of injuries, the only difference is that Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning did surgery, while Yao Di did not have surgery. It is precisely because of this that some fans believe that Yao Di's injury is relatively minor and may be able to parachute into the national team at any time.
Of course, there is another reason why fans hope that Yao Di can parachute into the Chinese women's volleyball team, that is, these fans believe that Yao Di is the best candidate for the main second pass of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and she can bring more help to the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, to the disappointment of these fans, Yao Di not only failed to enter the Chinese women's volleyball team, but also once again missed the training of the Tianjin women's volleyball team. It can be seen that Yao Di's injury does not seem to be as simple as fans think, and it may even miss all the games this year. However, if such a situation really occurs, it is not a good thing for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
As we all know, the player's injury problem is one of the main reasons why the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Tokyo. Cai Bin summed up this lesson and will emphasize the results of the physical fitness test, with the purpose of trying to avoid the situation of important players with injuries at this stage. Because for the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Paris Olympic Games is the really important test, and all the events before that can be regarded as practice matches for the Paris Olympic Games. Under such a premise, it is better to follow the concept of sharpening knives and cutting wood without cutting wood, so that key players can completely recover from injuries, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Tokyo Olympics in key events. Zhu Ting is like this, and so is Yao Di.
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Yao Di is not an excellent second pass, not only not as good as the main second pass Ding Xia, or even as good as Diao Linyu. However, since Yao Di broke through the bottleneck, he has made many outstanding contributions to the national team.
1. In the 2019 World League, it helped the Chinese women's volleyball team reverse defeat the biggest "bitter lord" Italian women's volleyball team.
2. The 2019 World League helped the second team of the Chinese women's volleyball team win the third place; passed Liu Yanhan as the best main attacker; opened the heart knot of Gong Xiangyu's downturn in the Italian women's volleyball team.
3. In the 2021 World League, it helped the second team of the Chinese women's volleyball team defeat the Brazilian women's volleyball team that was the main force, and passed Zhang Changning out to the peak of his career.
4. Tokyo Olympic Games against Russia, in the case of losing a set first, helped the team to win back a city, achieving the team's victory in the first game of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
5. The Tokyo Olympic Games helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win consecutive victories over Italy and Argentina, saving a little face for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
To be fair, although the achievements that Yao Di has achieved in helping the Chinese women's volleyball team do not prove that Yao Di is the best second-pass player, it can prove that Yao Di's ability to adapt to the attacker is very strong. From the first formal cooperation with Li Yingying to help her create a single game of 45 points, a single season 804 record, to the lack of opportunities to cooperate with Liu Yanhan, Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu out of the peak state, and then with Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue to cooperate seamlessly, can prove this. This is not only incomparable to Diao Linyu, even the main second pass Ding Xia is probably difficult to reach.
For Yao Di's ability, although Cai Bin has not given a public evaluation, whether from a professional point of view or a fan point of view, Yao Di should be the best candidate for the main second pass of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Cai Bin is naturally well aware of this. Therefore, although Yao Di was temporarily defeated due to injury, when the injury healed, Yao Di will definitely have the opportunity to return to the Chinese women's volleyball team. And once Yao Di returns from injury, she will still provide a lot of help to the Chinese women's volleyball team. Just as the so-called "when the flowers fall and bloom, the temporary withdrawal of Yao Di may only be to prepare for the rise again, let us patiently wait for the return of Yao Di, who is smiling like a flower.
