Due to the long time of fighting together, there are many girlfriend groups in the Chinese women's volleyball team, such as Zhu Ting and Yao Di, Diao Linyu and Zheng Yixin. At Gong Xiangyu's 25th birthday party, Ding Xia's "girlfriend group" welcomed new people, and Yang Hanyu, deputy attacker of Shandong, joined in, which also turned this "3-person group" into a "four-person group".
In the photo, yuan xinyue, the tallest, appears at the front, followed by "birthday star" Gong Xiangyu, followed by Yang Hanyu and Ding Xia. It is worth mentioning that Yuan Xinyue and Ding Xia compared the "2" gesture, and Yang Hanyu and Gong Xiangyu posed with the "5" gesture, implying the arrival of Gong Xiangyu's 25th birthday.
Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia and Yuan Xinyue became girlfriends in the last cycle, and when they filmed the movie "Win the Championship", they basically acted together, and they had to hold hands when walking on the field. In daily interactions, these 3 players also appear frequently as a group; on social platforms, these 3 players often receive each other.
In this girlfriend group, Gong Xiangyu was the target of the whole group's bullying, and Ding Xia often joked: "Come here, let me bully." "I don't know if with the addition of Yang Hanyu now, will Gong Xiangyu's status increase with it?" At present, these 4 players are in the second phase of training in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, so what will be their situation in the new cycle? The author believes that the main positions of Ding Xia, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu are relatively stable, and Yang Hanyu needs to fight hard to start.
Ding Xia, as the main second pass of the last cycle, although her performance in the Tokyo Olympics could not satisfy everyone, and indeed there was a downward trend in the competitive state, but it is undeniable that the 32-year-old is still in the first group of domestic second passes. Competing with her are Cai Yaqian and Diao Linyu, and compared with the passing style, competition experience and passing stability of the three, Ding Xia still dominates.
Whether it is Ding Xia, or Diao Linyu, or even Cai Yaqian, they are all fast-changing types of second passes, so in the case of similar styles, who can become the first player needs to look at other aspects. Ding Xia's competition experience needless to say, Diao Linyu does not have three major competition experience, Cai Yaqian is an international competition "Xiao Mengxin", stability, Ding Xia is also much stronger than the two sisters.
Gong Xiangyu and Yuan Xinyue are the ceiling of domestic secondary attack and reception, and occupying the starting lineup is almost a nail in the coffin. Yang Hanyu needs to compete with Wang Yuanyuan for a main position. Both entered the 14-man list of the national team at the same time in the last cycle, Wang Yuanyuan was the third vice attack, Yang Hanyu was the fourth vice attack, due to the quota restrictions, Yang Hanyu failed to go to the Olympics, and Wang Yuanyuan had a good performance in the Olympic Games.
In fact, the two are still on the same starting line, although Wang Yuanyuan has the experience of participating in the Olympic Games, but as far as the play of the two players in the World League is concerned, they belong to the same grade of secondary attack, and it is necessary to let them pick the beam, and they need to be more tempered. In the case of the same level, who can break through in the end needs to look at the coordination between the second pass and the coach's use of the player.
If Yang Hanyu can strengthen the cooperation between him and Ding Xia, plus the current deputy offensive coach of the national team is Li Yanlong, he may be able to defeat Wang Yuanyuan to become Yuan Xinyue's new starting partner. Of course, this also requires Yang Hanyu to make progress in daily training.
