Although a long time has passed since the Tokyo Olympics, there are still many fans who are still grumpy about the reasons for the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Even if the official media, industry insiders, and even the parties Lang Ping and Zhu Ting have summarized the reasons for the loss from all aspects, it is difficult to get unanimous recognition from fans. The reason for the Defeat of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team at the Tokyo Olympics seems to be as difficult to solve as a mystery. In fact, the reasons are not as complicated as imagined, everyone just complicates the simple problem, and a simple data statistics may be able to reveal the answer to this question.
Zhu Ting is the mainstay of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and her recurrence of old injuries has damaged the attacking power of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but also made the Chinese women's volleyball team fall into a leaderless situation, and the impact on the team is beyond imagination. And this change not only caught head coach Lang Ping a little off guard, but also made his teammates a little overwhelmed, so that after Zhu Ting left the court, some players were still asking when Zhu Ting would be able to appear again. It can be seen how much other teammates rely on Zhu Ting, and how indispensable Zhu Ting is to the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, in the end, Lang Ping's insistence on using the injured Zhu Ting was identified by some as the main reason for the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
For the question of why you insist on using the injured Zhu Ting, the answer given by Lang Ping during the Tokyo Olympics is: "She does not go to whom", and after returning to China, Lang Ping gave a detailed explanation, she said: "The team members have real-time monitoring of the data on the field, until the match with the American women's volleyball team, Zhu Ting's data is the best in all the side attackers, and she does not need to use whom." That is to say, Lang Ping also judges the performance of players based on data, which means that we can also analyze the reasons for the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team through data.
According to the official statistics of the Fivts Federation, the statistics of the four major side attackers of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the first three games are as follows:
Zhu Ting: 96 deductions and 34, 16 mistakes, blocked, success rate of 35.42%, efficiency of 18.75%;
Zhang Changning: 22 of the 55 deductions, 16 mistakes and blocks, the success rate is 40.00%, the efficiency is 10.90%;
Li Yingying: 84 deductions, 17 mistakes, blocked, success rate of 40.48%, efficiency of 20.24%;
Gong Xiangyu: 15 of the 49 deductions, 10 mistakes, blocked, the success rate of 30.61%, the efficiency of 10.20%.
From this statistic, we can determine the following two points:
First, Lang Ping is right, until the match with the American women's volleyball team, Zhu Ting's slam data is still the best among all the side attackers, but after playing against the Russian women's volleyball team, Zhu Ting was overtaken by Li Yingying, but Zhu Ting's slam efficiency is still ranked second. That is to say, Zhu Ting's role in the case of injury is also greater than that of some healthy players. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Lang Ping insisting on using Zhu Ting in the first three games. It is obviously unreasonable to identify Lang Ping's insistence on using the injured Zhu Ting as the reason for the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Second, among the four side attackers of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Zhu Ting and Li Yingying's slam efficiency is about 20%, which is basically normal. The dunk efficiency of Zhang Changning and Gong Xiangyu is only about ten percent, which is obviously a little low. That is to say, after three games, Zhu Ting's net score of the slam is 18 points, Zhang Changning is 6 points, Li Yingying is 17 points, and Gong Xiangyu is only 5 points. Even if Zhang Changning and Gong Xiangyu have more support tasks, the performance of the average slam net score of about 2 points per game is still a bit shabby as the main attacker.
Among the four main attackers of the Chinese women's volleyball team, two players are inefficient in slaming the ball, and the offensive strength is weak, which is tantamount to cutting off an arm and halving the attacking power. Even if the defense is excellent, there is no offense, it can only be passively beaten, and the team wants to win is simply a luxury. The defeat of the first three "life and death wars" of the Chinese women's volleyball team should be mainly caused by this reason, and there are not so many complicated reasons. After all, the game data is the most direct embodiment of the player's game status, although it will also be affected by some objective factors and deviations, but the deviation will not be too large.
