▷ The Japanese team chased 9.9 points, and the situation of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Olympics changed suddenly
In the first round, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the South Korean team 3-0! However, due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the Chinese women's volleyball team did not get too many points, only 0.93 points. At present, the total score of the Chinese women's volleyball team is 330.57 points. In the game where the Japanese team defeated the Turkish team 3-2, the most injured team was undoubtedly the Chinese women's volleyball team. In this game, the Japanese team got 9.9 points.
At the moment, the latest points of the Japanese team have reached 314.99. The point gap between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Chinese women's volleyball team has further narrowed, only 15.58 points. What is the disparity in points? It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese team can easily overtake the Chinese women's volleyball team in the next game as long as it can defeat the United States team and a team ranked higher than itself.
In addition, at the World Women's Volleyball League in Macao, China, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Japanese team also had a direct meeting. The outcome of this game will also change the fate of both teams. Especially the Chinese women's volleyball team, because it ranks higher than the Japanese team, it can't afford to lose.
It is no exaggeration to say that the situation of the Chinese women's volleyball team now impacting the Olympic Games has changed abruptly after the Japanese team's 3-2 upset, from the previous optimism to the current pressure has increased sharply. As the Japanese team continues to narrow the score gap, every game of the Chinese women's volleyball team has become extremely important and cannot afford to lose at all. Once Cai Bin upsets a game, then the Chinese women's volleyball team will directly give up the right to advance to the Japanese team.
▷ There is no way back for the American team
It is worth reminding that the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the world's second-ranked United States team in the second game. The U.S. team has qualified for the Olympic Games, and in this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team has no way out, and must grit their teeth to defeat the U.S. team. There are two main reasons for this.
The first is that the U.S. team has a very good relationship with the Japanese team, and they will definitely go all out to defeat the Chinese women's volleyball team to help the Japanese team. Once the U.S. team wins, the Chinese women's volleyball team will probably lose 2 to 3 points. Although the reduction in points is not much, it is particularly damaging to the morale of the team.
The second is that the Chinese women's volleyball team needs to improve its self-confidence by defeating the American team. In the past, Cai Bin and the Chinese women's volleyball team have never been good at playing strong dialogues, and in the face of strong teams such as the United States team and the Brazilian team, they always lost more and won less. This time is different, the Chinese women's volleyball team has the pressure of impacting the Olympic Games in front, and the Japanese team is chasing after it! In such a situation, Cai Bin can only build the team's self-confidence and release the pressure on his body by winning against a strong team.
Once the Chinese women's volleyball team defeats the United States team, the points in hand will reach 5.6 points. Not only can you boost your momentum, but you can also give the Japanese team a huge blow in the air.
It can be said that the sooner the Chinese women's volleyball team opens up the points gap with the Japanese team, the lighter the psychological baggage, and the more backward it goes, the more the Japanese team collapses. On the contrary, the most pressure will be the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time.
