In the early morning of July 16, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in the championship of this season's Women's Volleyball World League, and the Chinese team lost 1-3 to Turkey and won the runner-up. This is the best record achieved by the Chinese women's volleyball team in the World Women's Volleyball League so far.
This year's Women's World Volleyball League is divided into two stages: the sub-tournament and the finals, in which the Chinese women's volleyball team ranks 5th with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. Entering the finals, the Chinese women's volleyball team first defeated Brazil 3-1 in the quarterfinals, and then avenged Poland 3-0 in the semifinals - this is also the first time in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team to advance to the final of the event.
In this battle, the starting lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team is mainly attacking Li Yingying and Wang Yunwei; deputy attack Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan; Pick up Gong Xiangyu; Second Setter Diao Linyu; Freeman Wang Mengjie.
In the first game of the game, the two sides did not have much temptation, and staged a wonderful offensive and defensive battle. Facing Vargas's powerful jump, the Chinese team steadied a pass and relied on an offensive and defensive counterattack to chase the score. Zheng Yixin and Xu Xiaoting came off the bench to change the rhythm of the attack and achieve certain results. The Chinese women's volleyball team still lost the first game after saving 2 game points.
In the second game, Wang Yunbi picked up in the No. 4 position, playing strong attacks and adjustment attacks, and made a good start. In the multi-round ball, the Chinese women's volleyball team played very patiently, especially in the key points at the end of the game, and the defense was tenacious. The team's three-dimensional attack blossomed at many points, and Li Yingying scored in the face of the last three attacks blocked by three people, and she played with momentum. The Chinese women's volleyball team equalized the game.
In the third and fourth games, the Turkish women's volleyball team Vargas and Karakurt two offensive firepower points took turns to attack, the Chinese women's volleyball team one-pass system was unstable, it was difficult to organize effective tactical attacks, and finally lost the game.
According to the statistics after the game, Li Yingying scored a team-high 20 points, Yuan Xinyue 11 points, Wang Yuanyuan 9 points, Wang Yunbi 9 points, and Gong Xiangyu 8 points. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese women's volleyball team has 3 finalists for the best team of the World League: Li Yingying was selected as the best main attacker, Yuan Xinyue was selected as the best secondary attacker, and Diao Linyu was selected as the best second setter.
It is indeed a pity that the Chinese women's volleyball team lost the final, but a strong dialogue also allowed the team to gain valuable experience and see its own gap. I was able to reach the final precisely because I was summed up in one defeat after another. As head coach Cai Bin said, there are ups and downs in the journey of this World League, which young teams must experience, but he has always encouraged players to have confidence, fight every game, and rely on the strength of the team to play every ball. In the quarterfinals against the Brazilian women's volleyball team and the semifinals against the Polish women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team won in teamwork, and every member of the team on the court fought out, reflecting the spirit of the women's volleyball team.
With the Paris Olympics approaching, the Chinese women's volleyball team needs to grow and mature as soon as possible. Through the World League, the Chinese women's volleyball team has played against many strong teams, which will also help the coaching staff to conduct systematic analysis and develop different playing styles and coping strategies for different opponents.
