The Chinese women's volleyball team made its debut this season. Facing the weaker fish belly team South Korea, the Chinese team played confidently, allowing the opponent to score less than 20 points in three games. This ball victory can be described as "hearty", but there is also a fly in the ointment behind the victory, that is, Ding Xia abolished the two-for-three tactic.
In this game, Cai Bin used the two-point for three-point tactics in the reverse round as usual, and replaced Diao Linyu and Gong Xiangyu, who started with Ding Xia and Zheng Yixin, in order to achieve the purpose of passing the round. However, after Ding Xia came on the court, due to her running ability, there was a problem with the cooperation between her and Zheng Yixin, and Zheng Yixin could only drop the ball. In this campaign, Zheng Yixin made 4 deductions, 1 hit and 1 error, and the offensive efficiency was zero.
In the last World League, the two-point for three-point tactics used by Cai Bin were implemented by Xu Xiaoting and Zheng Yixin, but this time they were replaced by Ding Xia and Zheng Yixin. In fact, Ding Xia and Zheng Yixin's two-point for three-point cooperation had problems during the Olympic Games, but I didn't expect that after one year of running-in, the problem of poor cooperation was still not solved.
The two-point for three-point tactics is still very important for the current Chinese women's volleyball team, and it is the best solution to solve the two-point attack round. If the two-for-three doesn't work, it's easy for the team to drop points in a row. Maybe Cai Bin can consider replacing the setter or receiving to solve the problem, such as re-enabling Xu Xiaoting and Zheng Yixin, or switching to Ding Xia and Zhang Changning. Regarding Ding Xia's performance, Cai Bin said that the veteran players can feel the atmosphere of the competition more and adapt to the rhythm of the game.
Coach Cai Bin broke the convention in this World League, and the Seven Fairies lineup is worthy of praise. In the past, Cai Bin was most criticized for his usual use of a lineup to play to the end, with the growth of Wu Mengjie and the return of veterans, Cai Bin finally had room to play, he gave up Wang Yunrui and replaced it with Wu Mengjie as the starter. And Wu Mengjie did not live up to Cai Bin's expectations, scoring a team-high 14 points with 16 deductions, 10 shots, 2 blocks and 2 shots.
In addition, Wu Mengjie also took the initiative to pick up 6 rounds of one pass in terms of one pass, although it was a little unstable, but for the first time to play the whole game as the main player, such data and performance are still very good. Cai Bin can actively exercise newcomers, which also makes people see hope. In the past, Cai Bin did not train newcomers, mainly due to lack of personnel and lack of skills, and I hope that more young players can appear in the later games.
The lack of firepower is still the biggest problem plaguing the Chinese women's volleyball team. Gong Xiangyu was blocked in 7 of 14 deductions and 2 mistakes, and the smashing efficiency was 35.71%, which seems to be good, but it is the lowest existence in the team's starting side attack. Gong Xiangyu's problem is that he can only play tactical balls, and adjusting the strong attack is either hanging the ball or being blocked. When there was no strong attack in the second position, the offensive pressure was given to the main attack in the fourth position, but fortunately, after Wu Mengjie served as the main force, she shared part of Li Yingying's pressure.
In addition, the substitute Zheng Yixin's strong offensive ability is weaker than Gong Xiangyu. In the face of South Korea, if you play against a stronger team, the lack of attacking may become a weakness. I wonder how Cai Bin will solve this problem? Is Zhang Changning transferred to the receiving group?
