On May 16, Beijing time, the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League continued, and the current 16 teams have completed the first round of matches, the first match day was calm, and the second day was a succession of upsets, the world No. 1 Turkey and the world champion Serbia both lost, of course, they have all qualified for the Paris Olympics.
Japan 3-2 Turkey, Japan plus 9.9 points, is considered a big score. Reasons for Turkey's loss: 1. Vargas is not in good shape, the efficiency is single-digit, and the blocking defense is not adaptable, and he can't stop Japan's ball in the first two games.
Japan has changed its style of play - highlighting the strongest main attacker Koga Sharina, only receiving 1 round of one pass, receiving 6 rounds, and the other main attack Ishikawa 5 rounds of one pass, this change should also have something to do with Ishikawa's progress in one pass.
Another angle is no longer like last year's absolute front row main attack to ensure the existence of the back row main attack of the back attack, but to ensure that the front row of the three-point attack round of the main attack must not receive a pass to protect the attack (Ishikawa main attack of the front row of the reverse wheel needs to receive a pass, so to put it bluntly, it is still Bao Koga), when the front row of two points of attack, the back row of the main attack does not receive a pass to ensure the existence of a three-dimensional attack.
A pass is not only a lifeline, but also a fuse for offense to run to output. The Japanese team's small main attack Koga Sari Na 31 points, the big main attack Ishikawa 20 points, after staying in the ocean, Ishikawa Mayu a pass is constantly improving, 32 one pass 0 mistakes, and 5 rounds of one pass, Koga on one round of one pass, five rounds of only 7 one pass, in addition to Ishikawa's front row of the reverse wheel down to receive a pass, the front row of three points of attack when the main front row of attack is not connected, the front row of two points of attack when the back row of the main attack is not received.
Japan's defense and small-ball tandem were the ultimate and it was a spur for us. Although we have a different style from the Japanese women's volleyball team, it is worth learning from that the Chinese women's volleyball team liberated Li Yingying in the game with the United States.
In addition, learn the lessons of the Turkish team, the secondary attack must be supported, and when encountering Europe and the United States, the secondary attack can not be thankless, beating South Korea's Yuan Xinyue 12 points, Wang Yuanyuan 6 points, a total of 7 blocks, if this data can be maintained, it is still possible to get more than 6 points from the American team.
The Chinese women's volleyball team temporarily ranked first after the first round, and the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland were also 3-0, which was the first place for the Chinese team, so they ranked second to fourth.
Neither the Netherlands nor Germany were very strong opponents, with Poland winning against Italy without Egnu. The United States lost a game, and the non-main force still has an advantage against Thailand, which is the main force, after all, the bench of the American team is very deep, and two or three sets of lineups are relatively strong, and they are currently ranked fifth.
The Dominican Republic is in sixth place, and even without Boskovic, there is no denying their quality, both individually and as a whole.
After Brazil won 3-1 against Canada, they ranked seventh, and the competitiveness was still relatively strong. Japan beat Turkey, although it was only eighth, but this game was still great, South Korea lost the most points, and had no choice but to be at the bottom.
