The Chinese women's volleyball team is currently training in Zhangzhou to prepare for the upcoming World Women's Volleyball League. The first 20-man list directed by Cai Bin, a total of 5 players in the secondary attack position were selected, and the retirement of veteran Yan Ni has made new changes in the competitive situation of this position, in addition to Yuan Xinyue can lock in a starting position, there is still a certain suspense in its partner candidate. Although Wang Yuanyuan got more opportunities in the last cycle, with the appointment of Cai Bin's guidance, Gao Yi also has the opportunity to play the role of dark horse.
In recent years, a large number of outstanding young players have emerged, in addition to Yuan Xinyue, who has long become famous, several other young deputy attackers have more or less won many opportunities to participate in international competitions, of which Wang Yuanyuan has participated in important events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games. From the perspective of international competition experience, compared with competitors such as Zheng Yixin, Gao Yi, and Yang Hanyu, Wang Yuanyuan's advantages are very obvious. Therefore, after the veteran Yan Ni retired, wang Yuanyuan succeeded Yan Ni as the main force of the team, which seems to be a natural thing.
However, the change of the head coach has added many variables to the selection of the main sub-attack. In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the reason why Wang Yuanyuan got more opportunities is because in the tactical concept guided by Lang Ping, she pays more attention to the blocking net of the secondary attack, and the team members with strong nets can win her favor. The characteristic of Wang Yuanyuan is that the net blocking ability is excellent, although the offensive link is its short board, but with the excellent performance in the netting end, Wang Yuanyuan has become the "third deputy attack" candidate of the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, just as the so-called "one dynasty and one courtier", Wang Yuanyuan, who has a relatively high degree of compatibility with the tactical play style guided by Lang Ping, can also perfectly adapt to the tactical system guided by Cai Bin?
Obviously, the answer to this question still needs to be marked with a big question mark. Judging from the coaching of Cai Bin in the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in recent years, the secondary offensive line of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team is the weakest position, whether it is Wang Chenyue, or Zhou Xinyi and Wei Yuxin, who have not been able to effectively fill the shortcomings of the team, and cai Bin guidance has to introduce Yang Junjing to emergency. In the past two years, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team has lost in the final of the Super League, and the shortcomings of the No. 3 position are one of the reasons, Cai Bin guides Qiao Women to be difficult to cook without rice, in this position, he has not selected players who can share the offensive pressure for Zhang Changning and Gong Xiangyu.
Therefore, Wang Yuanyuan, who has weak offensive ability, has certain difficulties in playing the main force under the guidance of Cai Bin. From this point of view, it is the high intention of the golden age of the career, and there is a better chance to enter the starting lineup. Gao Yi has a height of 1 meter 95, and its slam power is large, when facing European and American teams, it is not a loss in the net mouth, last year's World Women's Volleyball League, Gao Yi in a back fly attack, the height of the slam ball reached 3 meters 09, refreshing the highest record of domestic players in international competitions since there is this data statistics. Although the serve was once the weakness of Gao Yi, it cannot be denied that Gao Yi's serve has improved significantly compared with previous years.
Whether it is from the physical condition, or from the technical characteristics and playing style, compared with Zheng Yixin, Wang Yuanyuan and several other young deputy attackers, Gao Yi is more suitable for competing with European and American teams, and as we all know, the main opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the international competition are Serbia, Italy, the United States, Brazil and other European and American teams, and it is difficult for Japan, South Korea and Thailand in Asia to create a substantial threat to the Chinese women's volleyball team. Yuan Xinyue, who is more than two meters tall, coupled with the high intention of 1 meter 95 in height, the "twin tower combination" composed of two people has sufficient competitiveness even if they look at the world volleyball arena.
