At 23:00 on the evening of April 6, in the third leg of the 1/4 finals of the men's volleyball Russian Super League in the 23-24 season, Belgorod swept Kuzbass 3-0 (25-14 25-10 25-13) in only 70 minutes at home, winning 2-1 and becoming the last team in the men's volleyball Russian Super League this season to advance to the semifinals.
The process of this game once again clearly interpreted the iron law of the Russian Premier League's "no serve, no strong team"! The key to winning the men's volleyball game is to use the impactful and powerful jump serve to drive the blocking. The star shifted, the lion's head served very well in this game, while Kuzbas, who won the serve in the previous round, did nothing in this game. Belgorod has 10 points on the straight serve, and there are more breaks, and the strong serve wheel Hachidadi, Zhang Jingyin, and Te Qiuxin all have serve points into the account, which drives the blocking, Belgorod played a hearty game, and finally won the game easily with Zhang Jingyin's final word!
Looking at the technical statistics, Belgorod vs Kuzbass scored 75-37 points, 33-30 smashes, 7-1 blocks, 10-3 serves, and 25-6 turnovers. Belgorod's offense played normally, the self-control was quite perfect, and the big win on the serve and block while forcing the opponent to make mistakes again and again, a typical example of the "serve with blocking" template battle. It was a completely one-sided game, and Kuzbass, as a team in the quarterfinals of the Russian Premier League, was really unconvincing!
Personal technical statistics, Belgorod Hachdadi 18 points (12 deductions, 8 hits, 2 blocks, 8 shots, 1 block, double rate 67%, 58%), Zhang Jingyin 10 points (12 deductions, 7 hits, 2 blocks, 1 shot, both rates are 58%), Tetyukhin 9 points (12 deductions, 6 hits, 2 blocks, 1 shot, both rates are 50%), Zabolotnikov 7 points (9 deductions, 7 hits, both double rates are 78%), Chervyakov 6 points (8 deductions, 5 hits, 1 block, both rates are 63%). All the attackers of the Lion Head have a surprisingly high scoring and efficiency, which is really rare in the men's volleyball game, and it can only be said that Kuzbass played too badly!
Kuzbass Paksin 12 points (12 of 20 deductions, 2 turnovers and 1 block, double rate of 60% 45%), Petkovic 4 points (12 deductions, 4 of 4 turnovers and 2 blocks, double rate of 33%-17%), Lobychenko 4 points (6 deductions and 3 of 1 block, both double rates of 50%), Cheresky 4 points (6 deductions and 4 of 1 block, double rate 67% 50%), D-Yakovlev 3 points (10 deductions, 3 of 2 turnovers and 1 block, double rate 30% 0%), Makin 3 points (9 deductions and 1 block, double rate 33% 22%) ), Asparukhov 1 point. Most of the attackers have low scoring and efficiency, which is rare in men's volleyball games where the two sides are at the same level.
Interestingly, Belgorod is rumored to have renewed the contracts of Tetyuxin and Zhang Jingyin. As the general manager of Belgorod, it is natural for the younger Ttyusin to inherit his father's business and renew the contract. Zhang Jingyin renewed his contract to play for Lionhead next season and continue to experience in the Russian Super League, which shows that the club recognizes his season performance very much, congratulations!
Unlike other top leagues, the Russian Premier League playoffs need to be re-ranked in each round, and the two sides will be determined according to the principle of high PK and low ranking in the regular season. The eighth-placed torch in the regular season unexpectedly eliminated second-placed Lokomotiv and fourth-placed Moscow also advanced to the semi-finals, so the semi-finals are Zenit Kazan vs Nova Uren and Belgorod vs Dynamo Moscow. Belgorod played against Moscow in the regular season, losing 1-3 away and narrowly winning 3-2 at home, and the two sides were close in strength. The game against Kazan was a home-and-away double, after all, Kazan is a traditional veteran powerhouse, with a lot of experience in the game, and is particularly good at controlling the pace of the game and controlling the course of the season. After all, the playoffs are different from the regular season, the team has a higher degree of concentration and attention, if they can meet again in the finals, the two sides should be more able to hit the spark, I am looking forward to it! If the lion head can play at the level it should have, it is very hopeful to reach the finals or even win the championship, and make a breakthrough in the season.
Zhang Jingyin scored 10 points in the first game, and his performance was stable and excellent. This is Zhang Jingyin's first appearance in the men's volleyball team in the Russian Super League, and he reached the semi-finals as the main force, which is worth celebrating and should be given more encouragement!
