The Chinese women's volleyball team made its debut in the 2023 World League and narrowly defeated its old rival Brazil in five games. Although it is only the first game of the new women's volleyball team, it has to be said that the training has played an effect, and the players have indeed improved significantly, especially the cooperation between setter Diao Linyu and the attacker.
In the last World League, although Diao Linyu's passing speed was fast, the attackers generally could not keep up with the rhythm, and sometimes it was obviously a chance ball or Huo Huo because of passing problems. In this game, Diao Linyu's passing is more calm, daring to activate each offensive point, which can be seen from the fact that 4 people scored double-doubles and 1 person almost double-doubled.
According to technical statistics, Li Yingying scored 26 points, Gong Xiangyu 18 points, Yuan Xinyue 12 points, Wang Yunbi 10 points and Wang Yuanyuan 9 points. Such an average score is enough to reflect Diao Linyu's good concept of distributing the ball, that is, with Li Yingying as the offensive core and other team members as the supplement. When the ball was difficult, Diao Linyu asked Li Yingying to solve the problem, and as soon as the pass was in place, all points flew together.
In addition, the number of smashes at each offensive point of the Chinese women's volleyball team is also relatively close, Li Yingying smashed 41 times in the game, Gong Xiangyu smashed the total number of 35 times, Wang Yunbi 28 times, Yuan Xinyue 21 times, Wang Yuanyuan 15 times. It can also be known from the number of smashes that Diao Linyu is pursuing more blossoms and does not pass a single attack point. The reason why Li Yingying has a slightly more number of smashes is because she needs to play an adjustment attack.
In addition to pursuing more blossoms, the cooperation problem between Diao Linyu and the attackers has also been solved. The cooperation between Diao Linyu and Gong Xiangyu has become more tacit, frequently using fast back level to score, the "small universe" recovering from injuries is like a fish in water, and the No. 2 position plays bravely and resourcefully; The two deputy attackers, Wang Yuanyuan and Yuan Xinyue, got up and down with their hands, threw the ground loudly, and scored fastballs in the defense many times. This is also in line with Cai Bin's statement of strengthening the number of secondary attacks and counter-attacks during training.
Compared with last year's World League, Diao Linyu can not cooperate with Yuan Xinyue or Wang Yuanyuan, the two secondary attackers can only deal with the ball frequently, this World League, Diao Linyu solved this problem very well, activated the secondary attack, and formed an effective pulling effect. With the containment of the secondary attack, the attack success rate of the three side attackers has been significantly improved, which is the real overall volleyball.
Of course, the reason why Diao Linyu can pass so calmly is inseparable from the excellent pass guarantee of free man Wang Mengjie. In the whole game, Wang Mengjie's first pass and defense were zero errors, 18 first passes, 9 times in place and 0 errors, a pass in place rate of 53%, and a pass efficiency of 53%; 18 defenses, 16 effective 0 turnovers, 89% defensive starting rate and 89% defensive efficiency.
In the fifth game, Wang Mengjie caught her opponent's straight back flying ball to help the Chinese women's volleyball team get the match point. She has also repeatedly defended the ball against empty nets and built a strong backline for the team. This ball is not only an individual victory, but a victory for the Chinese women's volleyball team as a whole.
