Cai Bin finally admitted that the second setter of the Chinese women's volleyball team is not good, he said that the new setter has been running in for three years, and it is still more difficult.
After Zhu Ting returned to the national team, the only shortcoming of the Chinese women's volleyball team is the setter, since the new setter Diao Linyu has been running in for three years, it is still more difficult, why not re-enable the old setter Ding Xia? Ding Xia has also been in the team for the past few years, can she only be substituted, and she no longer has the ability to play the main game?
The main attack is Li Yingying, Zhu Ting (Zhang Changning), the secondary attack is Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Gong Xiangyu, the free man Wang Mengjie, and the second setter Ding Xia. This lineup can no longer be said to be young, and there is no run-in problem, they are all players in the Langping period, and they are all world champions and Olympic champions.
The question now is mainly Ding Xia's state, whether she can still play the game. The only thing that makes the Chinese women's volleyball team uneasy is that there are only setters left, and the coaching staff has also made many preparations, participating in the World League Brazil game, Diao Linyu, Xu Xiaoting, and Ding Xia The three setters are all here.
The three setters went out to fight, which shows that they are not reassuring. Everyone knows Diao Linyu that her ups and downs are too great, and there must be a mature and stable substitute. And Xu Xiaoting has too little experience in international competitions, Ding Xia is 34 years old, and she has not played any major tournaments in the past three years, and she has played only a handful of games. Old and young, both of them need to pass the actual combat test in order to be reassured.
In the four games of the Brazilian station, the Chinese women's volleyball team may wish to let Diao Linyu substitute, Xu Xiaoting will play the first two games, against South Korea and the United States, and Ding Xia will play against Canada and Serbia.
The Korean women's volleyball team is weak, which is just used to train newcomers, and Xu Xiaoting can also have more room for error and can gradually adapt to the atmosphere of the competition. In the second game against the U.S. women's volleyball team, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it won't have a decisive impact on the fight for Olympic tickets, and it can allow newcomers to play boldly and feel the level of the world's strongest teams.
The victory or defeat of this game is directly related to whether the Olympic tickets can be obtained smoothly, and it is a game that must not be lost. It's a good litmus test of how she's in form. After playing a tough battle, they immediately faced Serbia, although they are a substitute lineup, and their strength should not be underestimated, Ding Xia continued to play to test her continuous combat ability, after all, there is no weak team in the Olympic Games, in case she is needed to play, there is no physical strength as a guarantee, it is absolutely impossible.
Xu Xiaoting and Ding Xia are the main players, Diao Linyu is ready to fight the fire at any time, such a configuration not only trains the newcomers, but also examines the veterans, and has the main setter to press the formation, which can also ensure the team's results.
If Ding Xia has no physical fitness problems, it will be logical to participate in the Olympic Games, and no one will make irresponsible remarks. No matter what the result of training Xu Xiaoting is, it will be beneficial and harmless, even if it is not used in the Paris Olympics, it will also cultivate newcomers for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle.
