On the blocking list of the women's volleyball league this season, Yang Hanyu beat Yuan Xinyue to rank first in the league with an average of 1.11 blocks per game. Standing at 1.98m, Yang Hanyu was the 2017 World Junior MVP, and was subsequently selected for the national team and became a world champion in 2019. However, she lost to II-VI in the competition for the secondary offensive position this year and failed to participate in the Asian Games. This season's league Yang Hanyu ushered in the rise, and the competition for the secondary offensive position of the Chinese women's volleyball team became more intense.
In the latest game of Shandong women's volleyball team against Shenzhen women's volleyball team, Yang Hanyu scored 18 points, she made 15 of 24 deductions, blocked the net and scored 1 point.
Yang Hanyu's smash success rate is very high, and at the same time, the net blocking also continues to be powerful. On the blocking list, Yang Hanyu beat many famous players to rank first. Yuan Xinyue was second with 1.1 nets, Liaoning foreign aid Buchekova was third with 1.05 times, and II-VI was fourth with 1.02 times. Wang Yuanyuan did not enter the top 10.
At present, in the Chinese women's volleyball team, Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan are the starting secondary offensive partners, and both of them play for the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Cai Bin trusts these two secondary attackers very much, and they have a tacit understanding. The competition for the substitute secondary offensive position is mainly between II-VI and Yang Hanyu. Not surprisingly, the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Paris Olympics still has 3 deputy attackers, and II-VI and Wang Yuanyuan may choose one of the two.
Yang Hanyu's women's volleyball career has reached a critical juncture, if she can't withstand the pressure and get the third deputy offensive position of the Chinese women's volleyball team, then she may continue to decline. You must know that when she led the national youth women's volleyball team to win the championship in the 2017 World Youth Championships and was crowned MVP, she was favored by many people.
At that time, many experts believed that Yang Hanyu was expected to become the next Yuan Xinyue. It's a pity that Yang Hanyu's progress has been relatively slow in the past few years, and there has been no significant transformation.
Yang Hanyu's physical condition is very good, with long height, long arms, well-proportioned figure, and great smashing power. Now in the Shandong women's volleyball team, Yang Hanyu plays one of the core roles of the team. It's a pity that the overall strength of the Shandong women's volleyball team is still weaker and failed to reach the top four.
Yang Hanyu leads the blocking list this season, which is a testament to her hard work and talent. II-VI suppressed Yang Hanyu in international competitions this year, but next year's World Women's Volleyball League is the key. Yang Hanyu and II-VI will also compete. In any case, Yang Hanyu's strong recovery is a great thing for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
