Recently, Zhu Ting has announced through her personal social media that she will return to the Chinese women's volleyball team and make a comeback in the World League to help the Chinese team strive for the qualification of the Paris Olympics. From the overall situation, Zhu Ting's addition has undoubtedly improved the overall strength of the team. However, in terms of technical play, Cai Bin has been building lightspeed volleyball for 2 years or making adjustments for Zhu Ting.
First, Zhu Ting is good at attacking at high points, and Diao Linyu's low flat speed of light has to be changed.
As you can see, Zhu Ting's success rate in Serie A is fluctuating, and a big reason is that the setter Odjenovic, the pass height given to her is not suitable, so that Zhu Ting has no way to give full play to the advantage of her smash height. Compared with Odjenovic, Diao Linyu, the main setter of the Chinese women's volleyball team, has a lower, flatter and faster arc of her passes. Zhu Ting has the ability to jump on the spot and run in two steps to directly dunk, and there should be no problem catching up with Diao Linyu's passing speed. However, the current passing height of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the speed of light is indeed too unsuitable for Zhu Ting. After Zhu Ting returned, was Cai Bin willing to slow down the speed for her and pass the ball high? Of course, once the ball is not in place, it is to be held high and hit. As soon as the ball is passed in place, the current passing height is still too low for Zhu Ting.
Second, Zhu Ting, who is the main attacker, is it changed to a small main attack based on one-pass support?
For the Chinese women's volleyball team, the main offensive position is still divided into large and small main attacks. During Lang Ping's coaching period, Zhu Ting was responsible for the team's main attack, especially in the front row of the two-point attack round, relying on Zhu Ting's strong attack to play the ball. Zhu Ting has not returned to the team for nearly two years, and the adjustment and strong attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team is made by Li Yingying. So, after Zhu Ting returns, is the team's strong offensive core Zhu Ting or Li Yingying? This needs to be weighed by Cai Bin. In the past 4 games in Serie A, Zhu Ting's smash success rate has remained at about 50%, and the speed, height and strength of the entire smash have recovered significantly. If Zhu Ting is once again identified as the core of the strong attack, then Li Yingying will replace Wang Yunrui and take over six rounds of one pass, becoming a small support main attack based on mopping the floor.
Third, after Zhu Ting's return, the women's volleyball team has a surplus of personnel in the main offensive position, will Zhang Changning change to respond?
After Zhu Ting returned to the national team, there were 7 main attackers in the main attacking position: Zhu Ting, Li Yingying, Zhang Changning, Wang Yunrui, Wu Mengjie, Wang Yizhu, and Zhuang Yushan. In terms of the current player ability, Zhu Ting's partner Li Yingying is undoubtedly the strongest in the main attack. Wang Yunrui has the ability to pass, but lacks strong attack; Wang Yizhu and Wu Mengjie have obvious loopholes in the lower three lanes, and Zhuang Yushan's height is a shortcoming. Zhang Changning only dunked a few balls in his comeback in the domestic league, which felt good, but it was still too far from the power of smashing at his peak. How to reasonably distribute these main attackers, who is the starter, who is the substitute, or whether Zhang Changning changes to play and respond, these are all questions that Cai Bin needs to think about.
It is precisely the whole body that is affected, even though Zhu Ting's return is a good thing, but for the team's style of play and the matching of personnel in various positions, Cai Bin needs to make adjustments. In terms of the current configuration of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the strength is still good, it depends on Cai Bin's ability to pinch the team. What do you think of Zhu Ting's return, as well as the competition between her and Li Yingying's big and small main attackers?
