The new Chinese women's volleyball team has been training in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province for about 2 weeks. Recently, a relevant report by the Fujian media disclosed the latest situation of the team to the outside world for the first time. In a short video of more than ten seconds, we can see the picture of Wang Yunruo jumping high and slaming the ball, but the most surprising thing for fans is that the two players are suspected of changing positions.

At the beginning of the training, 20 players lined up in turn, starting with Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Gao Yi and Yang Hanyu, 4 sub-attack group players, followed by the main attack group, the receiving group, the second pass group and the free man group. Because it is based on the position, Chen Peiyan, who stands in the main attack group, and Zheng Yixin, who stands in the receiving group, have caused fans to guess that they have changed their positions.
Born in 1999, Chen Peiyan is a well-known strong receiver representative in China, her slam is powerful, and after several seasons of polishing, the slam line and method changes have also been significantly improved. In the 21-22 league season, she formed the trident of the Guangdong women's volleyball team with Li Yao and Wang Yifan, and won the scoring champion of the whole team in many games. However, compared to her sharp attack, Chen Peiyan still needs to improve in terms of back row protection.
Chen Peiyan's change to the main attack is actually normal. First of all, the Chinese women's volleyball team needs a comprehensive response such as Gong Xiangyu, Chen Peiyan's rear row support ability is indeed unable to meet the requirements, and Cai Bin cannot sacrifice Li Yingying's attack for Chen Peiyan. Then, Chen Peiyan's offensive power in the fourth position was no worse than that in the second position. During the Guangdong women's volleyball team, Chen Peiyan repeatedly did not change places with Wang Yifan and made a violent buckle in the No. 4 position.
The current Chen Peiyan is quite similar to li Yingying in the early days, both are players with super attack power but no back-row protection ability. In addition, both of them are left-handed generals, I don't know if Cai Bin wants Chen Peiyan to re-follow Li Yingying's growth path, use the advantages of her left-handed attack to create a "scaled-down" version of Li Yingying? If Chen Peiyan can play in the main offensive position, then the Chinese women's volleyball team will have 2 left-handed players who can attack in the fourth position.
Zheng Yixin stood in the receiving position, or quite in line with the fans' previous speculations. During the training camp, many fans made suggestions to let Zheng Yixin continue to change the pick-up. In the 19th Swiss Women's Volleyball Classic and the World League in Brazil, Lang Ping had experimented with Zheng Yixin's playing style of running and receiving. From the initial strangeness to the later gradual improvement, Zheng Yixin played better and better in the receiving position.
However, due to the limited ability to attack strongly, coupled with the fact that she and Yao Di cooperated more and more tacitly in the secondary offensive position that year, the plan to change the pick-up was temporarily stopped. To tell the truth, Zheng Yixin should have its own natural advantages and also have its own natural disadvantages. In the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, there are many players who have changed their attacks, and there are many successful examples, such as Li Shan is one of them.
If Zheng Yixin can play as well as Li Shan in the reception position, then she may become a trump card in Cai Bin's hand, which can disrupt the deployment of other teams to us. Of course, what Zheng Yixin needs to solve when he changes to playing and receiving is the problem of insufficient strong offensive ability. Finally, I hope that Chen Peiyan and Zheng Yixin can continue to refuel, no matter where they are.
