In the early morning of July 10, in the United States of the National Men's Volleyball League, with the Cuban men's volleyball team defeating Iran 3-2 (25-22/26-28/25-23/28-30/15-10), ranking 13th with 3 wins, 9 losses and 8 points, the Chinese team was relegated and relegated at the bottom of the points. After struggling for two seasons, the Chinese men's volleyball team was relegated because of inferior skills.
Follow the Chinese men's volleyball game like sitting on a roller coaster, worried and thrilling, there are two victories of joy, there is a 3-2 regret of losing to Japan, more is the regret and unwillingness of being abused by others, many times can only pin their hopes on others, originally evenly matched with Canada, hoping to win the opponent to redeem themselves, but the friends still do not compete, 1-3 loss pushed themselves on the edge of the cliff, and finally the only relegation success condition is that the Cuban men's volleyball team defeated Iran 0-3, but the Cuban guys worked very hard, The first game was won 25-22, which extinguished everyone's illusions. The final victory of the Cuban men's volleyball team announced that the Chinese men's volleyball team was relegated to the last place in this year's World League challenge team.
In fact, the Chinese men's volleyball team should be relegated at the bottom of the performance for two consecutive years, but we are unwilling to admit it, do not intend to face it, do not want the efforts of this group of players to go to waste, lose such a high-level field grinding, the Chinese men's volleyball team is not only monkey Zhuo Mayue to stand up again.
One tragic defeat after another knocked on the Chinese men's volleyball team and the fans who care about and support the men's volleyball team, everyone should wake up, it's time to really face reality, let go of illusions, let go of extravagant expectations, seriously summarize the performance of the team, reflect on the existing problems, and find out the way forward. It's time for a drastic reform, the coaching staff should stay and go, the training ideas and methods should be learned, the advice must be put down, the players should go out and must go out... The gap between us and the world's powers is too big, it's time to learn humbly, lie down and try hard.
Relegation has become a fact, and the Chinese men's volleyball team will compete in the FIVB Challenger Cup in Doha, Qatar on July 27-30, and only by winning this tournament can they return to the National Volleyball League next year, but the opponents are not weak and there is little hope.

According to the current 25th place in the world ranking of the Chinese men's volleyball team, with 141.65 points, the Ukrainian men's volleyball team will encounter the strength of the Ukrainian men's volleyball team in the Challenger Cup, and there is a glimmer of hope to fight, and there is no way back for the Chinese men's volleyball team!
For now, although the United States still have one game to play, their last game against Bulgaria has little problem winning, so they will be at the top of the teams with 10 wins, 2 losses, 31 points/30 points. The 2nd to 7th places are Japan, Poland, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Slovenia, and the eighth place will be Serbia or France. The situation is basically clear in the quarterfinals: First half: USA vs Serbia/France, Italy vs Argentina. Second half: Japan vs Slovenia, Poland vs Brazil.
