The Chinese women's volleyball team has 2 consecutive defeats and bad news! Cai Bin revealed the injury situation, Li Yingying is gritting her teeth and insisting

The World Women's Volleyball League ended the first two weeks of competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team opened high and low, the opening six consecutive wins topped the list, once became the favorite to win the championship, the victory team includes Brazil, Japan and other strong teams, six consecutive wins are full of gold. However, in the past two games, the Chinese women's volleyball team has suffered consecutive defeats, and Cai Bin led the team to lose to Poland and Italy one after another. And even more worrying than the two consecutive losses is the team's injury situation. After the match with Italy, coach Cai Bin said in an interview that up to now, the team has more injuries, Li Yingying is gritting her teeth in playing, and the game in South Korea in the third week will be adjusted.

This year, the Chinese women's volleyball team has a relatively heavy competition task, and there are two events with performance requirements, including the Olympic qualification competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team should strive to qualify as soon as possible, and the Asian Games Cai Bin guidance should ensure victory. Therefore, the Women's World Volleyball League is an important training opportunity before these two events, except for Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning who cannot participate, Cai Bin sent all the main players. While Brazil, the United States, Italy, Serbia and other championship teams have hidden core players, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which is all the main players, has become the main favorite to compete for the championship. And the six consecutive wins in the opening game also made the outside world have high expectations for this team.

However, some of the problems exposed in the game cannot be covered up by the six-game winning streak, especially Cai Bin's guidance to insist on a set of lineups to play to the end, rarely rotating players, which buried a hidden danger for the subsequent games. And the recent two consecutive defeats are the concentrated outbreak of this hidden danger. Since the start of the tournament, the starting lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team for seven games is exactly the same, but the position of the docking has been adjusted against Bulgaria. And this adjustment is also a passive state, forced to make a change, because Gong Xiangyu fell to the ground and was injured in the previous game, Cai Bin guidance had no choice but to let Zheng Yixin replace Gong Xiangyu.

A set of lineups to play to the end, although the players will be more tacit on the field, but in the intensive schedule, the players are tired and fighting, which will increase the risk of injury. Especially for Li Yingying, the core of both the offensive and defensive ends, this is even more so. In the absence of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, Li Yingying is the leading scorer of the Chinese women's volleyball team, so every game, she will be chased by her opponents and focused on blocking. This also means that Li Yingying needs to invest more energy in the first pass and defense while undertaking the most offensive tasks in the team. Once Li Yingying was successfully limited by her opponent, the Chinese women's volleyball team lacked a second stable scoring point.

From the interview directed by Cai Bin, it can be heard that in addition to Gong Xiangyu being plagued by injuries, Li Yingying is also injured at present, and in recent matches, she is gritting her teeth and insisting. This is obviously bad news for the Chinese women's volleyball team that is more worrying than two consecutive losses. Everyone understands that if Li Yingying is injured, what it means for the Chinese women's volleyball team, and her importance to the Chinese women's volleyball team does not need to be emphasized. As the Olympic qualification and Asian Games get closer and closer, if Li Yingying is injured in the World Women's Volleyball League, it is obviously not worth the loss. So I hope that in the third week of the Korean competition, Li Yingying can get a chance to take a break. Ensuring that Li Yingying remains healthy is more important than the results of the Women's World Volleyball League.

In the eight games that have ended, Li Yingying has played almost the whole game. It cannot be denied that several substitute main attackers, whether Zhonghui or Du Qingqing, can not play the role of Li Yingying in the team, but using the same lineup every time is equivalent to using "clear cards" to compete with the opponent, and the opponent can develop a detailed response strategy before the game. According to the rules, after each sub-tournament, each team can make adjustments to the squad, which gives Cai Bin more room to adjust in the main attacking position. The six-win, two-loss Chinese women's volleyball team holds the initiative in the competition for qualifying places, so the third week of the South Korean competition, appropriate let several main players take turns, may be a more reasonable choice.
