As the Chinese women's volleyball team officially enters the Paris Olympic cycle, the positions will also begin to be updated. For now, it's safe to say that veteran Yan Ni will definitely retire after the National Games. So in this way, Yuan Xinyue's diagonal position will be vacant, which player will pick up the beam of the secondary offensive line with Yuan Xinyue?
Perhaps some fans will think that it is one of Wang Yuanyuan and Yang Hanyu, after all, these two players have been trained in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, and Wang Yuanyuan participated in the Olympic Games as the third vice attacker, and came off the bench in the case of Yan Ni's poor state, both of which have played well. However, the author believes that Wang Yuanyuan and Yang Hanyu are only transitional candidates for the new cycle of secondary attack positions.
First of all, neither player's technique is comprehensive enough. Wang Yuanyuan's blocking net is outstanding among many small secondary attacks, but her offensive ability is weak, even if she has improved in recent years, but unfortunately, due to the influence of physical fitness, it is difficult for her to become an international first-class secondary attack. From the game, we can find that Wang Yuanyuan's biggest shortcoming is her softness, which is not a single finger of slaming and blocking nets, but refers to all.
On the slam ball, although Wang Yuanyuan has mastered the back fly, back fast and the third position short and flat fast, it seems that the attack means are rich, but these offensive means have a problem, that is, "soft". Whether it is the power of the slam or the speed of the slam, there is a significant gap with the top secondary attack. On the blocking net, once she encounters the powerful main attack of Europe and the United States, Wang Yuanyuan is easily borrowed or formed a destructive blocking net. The biggest reason for this is that the physical fitness is not tough enough.
Although Yang Hanyu's physical fitness is better than Wang Yuanyuan's, her ball quotient is worse than Wang Yuanyuan.com. Yang Hanyu was the best secondary attacker at the World Youth Championships, and she was also awarded by Turkey's Zekhra. 4 years have passed, and the gap between the two is becoming more and more obvious. Zehra led the way in the Olympic group stage, and Yang Hanyu was still the "young secondary attacker" who was jumping around blindly.
From just being selected for the national team to now, Yang Hanyu has been very mediocre the rest of the time in this year's national league, and she can't feel her progress. The offense is still the number three position as always, and the slam line is always a handy line, and the problem of weak net judgment has not improved in recent years. The most regrettable thing is that her small ball tandem technique is still the same as that of the youth team, and the protection in front of the net is to watch the ball land. This is also the reason why Yang Hanyu's physical fitness is better than Wang Yuanyuan's, but it is not better than Wang Yuanyuan's.
Whether it is Wang Yuanyuan or Yang Hanyu, they are not the best choice for Yuan Xinyue's diagonal. If there is a dark horse in the new cycle, these two players will probably abdicate and give way. The author believes that the high intention of the Shanghai women's volleyball team may become this dark horse. Gao Yi's physical quality needless to say, in the case of height behind Yuan Xinyue 5-6cm, the height of the net and the height of the slam ball can be equal to Yuan Xinyue, which shows how good her bouncing power is.
The reason why Gao Yi lost the national team in previous years was that the small ball series was not good enough. However, with the joining of Shanghai, guided by the old coach Zhang Liming to train her, it is presumably bound to improve in weaknesses. Zhang Liming has trained many excellent sub-attack players, such as Ma Yunwen, Li Yizhi, Gui Chaoran and so on. I believe that with the guidance of a famous coach, combined with Gao Yi's excellent physical fitness, she will be the best choice for Yuan Xinyue's diagonal.
