Tianjin women's volleyball team defeated Jiangsu women's volleyball team 3-0 in the second leg of the semifinals, thus sweeping Jiangsu women's volleyball team 2-0 in two legs to reach the finals, and will compete with Shanghai women's volleyball team for the championship. The Tianjin women's volleyball team still made great progress to the final in the absence of Vargas. The 22-year-old main attacker Wang Yizhu performed well and became an excellent helper by Li Yingying's side. In the second round, Wang Yizhu scored 16 points and was crowned MVP of the single game.
Wang Yizhu scored 18 points in the first round, 14 of 33 deductions, 3 points for blocking the net, and 1 point for serving. In the second round, Wang Yizhu's smash success rate was higher, with 14 of 29 deductions and 2 points for blocking the net.
The rise of Wang Yizhu has become a highlight of the Tianjin women's volleyball team in the near future. In the 2023 Women's Volleyball Club World Cup, Wang Yizhu has an outstanding performance and becomes an important contributor to the Tianjin women's volleyball team winning the third place. Wang Yizhu has continued her excellent form to the league, she dares to fight, Wang Yizhu, who is 1.87 meters tall, has excellent bounce ability, and the height of the smash is 3.18 meters.
Wang Yizhu was born in the youth training of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, won the gold medal in the youth group of the National Games with Li Yingying in the 2017 National Games, and helped the Tianjin women's volleyball team win the women's volleyball league championship in the 2017-18 season. Wang Yizhu can be said to have witnessed the Tianjin women's volleyball team once again building a glorious dynasty. This season's Tianjin women's volleyball team has won five consecutive championships, and Wang Yizhu is an indispensable general.
Vargas was injured at the start of the season and his role this season has been largely negligible. On the offensive side, if you rely on Li Yingying's firepower alone, it is obviously not enough, but fortunately, Wang Yizhu also has ferocious firepower, and she has shown the characteristics of being good at playing tough battles, whether it is the Club World Cup or the playoffs of the Women's Volleyball League, Wang Yizhu has performed well.
Wang Yizhu beat Li Yingying to win the best player award in the second round. Li Yingying scored 21 points in the second round, made 19 of 41 deductions, and scored two points on serve. Wang Yizhu also compared the attackers of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team. Wu Mengjie scored 15 points in this battle, 33 deductions and 13 hits, and 2 points for blocking the net. Gong Xiangyu scored 12 points, 26 deductions and 10 hits, and blocked 2 points.
Gong Xiangyu is the main force of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Wu Mengjie is the substitute main attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Asian Games. Wang Yizhu's performance in the semifinals was better than these two, so is she eligible to enter the Chinese women's volleyball team training camp to compete for a substitute main offensive position.
Objectively speaking, Wang Yizhu is very suitable to be Li Yingying's main attacker, after all, she is indeed very strong, and she was once selected for Lang Ping's Chinese women's volleyball training team.
"Wang Yizhu played with confidence in last year's Club World Cup, and returned to the Volleyball Super League to play at a high level, making great progress, and gradually stabilizing his performance on the field, and his overall performance was very good. She has improved in terms of technique and psychology, and the previous problem was that she was timid and did not dare to start with key balls, but now she is more confident and hopes that she will play better and better in the next games. Tianjin women's volleyball coach Wang Baoquan praised Wang Yizhu.
In other words, Wang Yizhu is now more confident, whether it is for the Chinese women's volleyball team or the Tianjin women's volleyball team, this is a great thing.
