News on February 2, a few days ago, the first training of the Chinese women's volleyball team in 2023 officially began in Beilun, preparing for the World Women's Volleyball League in May this year, the Hangzhou Asian Games in September and the women's volleyball qualification tournament of the Paris Olympic Games. Head coach Cai Bin also talked about Zhu Ting's failure to be selected in the squad this time.
In the first leg of the 2022-23 Women's Volleyball Europa League 1/4 final play-offs, which ended in the early hours of this morning, Zhu Ting won the scoring title and single-game MVP with 22 points, helping Italy Scandicci beat Schwerin 3-2 at home.
Zhu Ting attacked 49 dunks, 22 of 22 and 3 of 2 was blocked, with a success rate of 45%. In addition, Zhu Ting also received the team's most 36 first passes and had 2 turnovers, with a first-pass rate and a perfect arrival rate of 36% and 17% respectively. After the match, she was named MVP of the game.
However, when the Chinese women's volleyball team announced the 23-person training list in 2023, Zhu Ting's name was not seen. According to domestic media reports, head coach Cai Bin and the coaching staff had active communication with Zhu Ting, but Zhu Ting declined the invitation to return to the national team. Zhu Ting believes that her condition has not yet returned to her best after wrist surgery and hopes to stay in Scandicci to adjust.
Cai Bin said in an interview with the media that the Chinese women's volleyball team had positive communication with Zhu Ting before, hoping that she could play for the country as soon as possible, "Her wrist recovery after surgery is not particularly good, and her technical state has not recovered to the best, so she hopes to be able to restore her entire technical state again." ”
The Chinese women's volleyball team first trained in Beilun for more than a month, and then went to Zhangzhou, Fujian Province for the second phase of intensive training, preparing for the World Women's Volleyball League that started in May, the Paris Olympic Qualification Tournament in September, and the Hangzhou Asian Games.
When talking about the goals of this year's competition, Cai Bin said: "The Asian Games will definitely win the championship, and we will strive to qualify for the women's volleyball qualification tournament at the Paris Olympics as soon as possible. ”
