The 24-25 season of the Korean Women's Volleyball League Asian foreign aid draft ended, and 3 of the 6 Chinese players who signed up were selected, namely Tianjin setter Chen Xintong, Henan deputy attack Huang Ruilei and Beijing deputy attack Zhang Yu. Beijing picked up Guo Tingwu, Hong Kong's deputy Huang Huiting and Chinese Taipei's setter Yang Yizhen were defeated.
According to the Korean league draft rules, the fifth, sixth, and seventh teams in the 23-24 season will select players first. According to the original plan, the seventh-ranked Pepper Savings Bank women's volleyball team needed a secondary attacker, the sixth-ranked Road Commune originally needed a main attacker, and the fifth-ranked IBK needed a setter.
Therefore, Zhang Yu was favored by the pepper savings bank women's volleyball team, which was in urgent need of a secondary attack, and represented the team in the league next season. Zhang Yu performed well in the training match, giving full play to his height advantage, performing well in fast attack and blocking, and was recognized by several clubs as an Asian foreign aid with both offense and defense. Pepper Bank has a hard time winning this season, and they have changed their head coach in the new season, and the new coach is Zhang Shaoyan, the former national player's deputy attacker.
Zhang Shaoyan represented the Korean women's volleyball team in the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, and was a legend of the Korean women's volleyball team when she was a player. She has her own experience in the training of the assistant attack, and looks forward to Zhang Yu growing through the Korean league. In fact, it is quite surprising that Zhang Yu left the Beijing women's volleyball team to play in South Korea, after all, she is one of the core players of the Beijing team.
Another deputy attacker, Huang Ruilei, was favored by Xingguo Life and will become a new teammate of Jin Ruanjing in the new season. Heungguo Life has lost a good game this season, and has been reversed by opponents to be runner-up many times when leading the way. In order to be able to realize his championship dream, Jin Ruanjing chose to persist for another year. Next season, Xingguo Life strengthened the weak secondary offensive line, and Huang Ruilei's entry into the team strengthened their blocking strength.
Huang Ruilei is 196cm tall and has represented the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Asian Cup and is a powerful player. With her height advantage, Huang Ruilei has been ranked in the top 10 of the blocking list in the domestic league for many times, and the offensive end is dominated by the No. 3 fastball. The reason why this Xingguo life team lost in the final was because of the lack of height of the assistant attacker, I hope that Huang Ruilei's joining can make their blocking to a higher level, and I also hope that she can stand on the highest podium with Jin Ruanjing.
Tianjin setter Chen Xintong joined the IBK women's volleyball team. Chen Xintong's overseas play is not surprising, as she has run out of balls in Tianjin, and she joined Shenzhen last season and performed well. IBK originally wanted to choose the setter of the Thai team's Popong, but because Popong temporarily missed the contract, Chen Xintong was selected. Chen Xintong's passing skills are undoubted, but she is likely to be the blame for the team's loss, because IBK's new coach is "full of bad deeds".
The new coach of IBK Bank is the head coach of the former Pepper Bank. The coach is always saying that the setter is wrong, and the post-match interview after the loss will put the blame on the foreign player. Last season, he led the team to a 23-game losing streak before being released from his contract. I hope that Chen Xintong can withstand the pressure and not become a "backstabber".
