In the early morning of May 17, Beijing time, the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League ushered in a key battle, and the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the world's second-ranked American women's volleyball team 3-1 and won two consecutive victories. The scores in the four games were: 23-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-19. After winning this game, the instant points of the Chinese women's volleyball team increased by 9.13 points, and the world ranking surpassed Italy and Poland to fifth place. The U.S. women's volleyball team, which deducted 9.13 points, was overtaken by Brazil and fell to third place.

In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team played well overall, especially blocking the net 12-6, which really crushed the opponent. The two secondary attackers of the Chinese team both scored double-doubles, of which Wang Yuanyuan blocked the net and scored 8 points, plus 18 offensive deductions and 8 hits and serve 2 points. Yuan Xinyue's offensive efficiency was higher, with 1 of 23 deductions and 13 being blocked, with an efficiency of 52.17%. On the other hand, the two assistant offenses of the American team's starters, Hall scored 9 points, 2 of 16 deductions and 7 were blocked, and only 1 blocked the net; Ogbogu was even worse, with 2 blocks on 4-of-9 shots, 1 service score, but 0 points on the net.

The success rate of the quick attack of the secondary attack is generally higher than that of the main attack, because the main attack faces an exposed strong attack most of the time, and sometimes even has to face the opponent's "three-person block". However, in order to give full play to the fast offensive ability of the secondary attack, a stable pass is indispensable, which requires the main attack to be chased, as well as the support response and free man, to work together to do a good job in the first pass and defense. Wang Mengjie is in good condition, accurate in the card position, and has made many difficult saves, creating a lot of good opportunities for the team to counterattack.

As soon as the pass was in place, Diao Linyu and Wang Yuanyuan's forward flight was fast and accurate, and they could almost "nail the floor", and even smashed within the three-meter line, which particularly boosted morale. Although Yuan Xinyue and Diao Linyu's forward flight cooperation is not as tacit as Wang Yuanyuan's, and the ball is not so neat, it is enough to rub and hang on American players with relatively rough skills. Moreover, Yuan Xinyue also has the ability to run and attack with his back, which can effectively draw the attention of the opponent and effectively reduce the pressure of the main attack in the fourth position. In the first game, Yuan Xinyue flew back to cover, and then Li Yingying rushed close and hit a short ball nailed to the floor, which was a very beautiful point.

If the Chinese women's volleyball team can play a high level of secondary attack, it will win half of it. We have always been "attacking the weak and defending the strong", if the attack can be evenly matched with the opponent, then we will basically win. In this game, the Chinese team attacked 60-58, which was also stronger than the opponent, and it is not surprising that they finally won the game.

European and American strong teams generally "respond violently", do not need to receive a pass, and specialize in attacking. The main force of the Chinese women's volleyball team responded to Gong Xiangyu, with a balanced offense and defense, she made 13 of 23 deductions in this game, although 3 were blocked, but she also blocked the opponent for 3 points, and 1 service score, a total of 16 points, which is already a very good result.

Li Yingying is undoubtedly the "thigh" of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and she has to shoot difficult balls at critical moments, with 43 deductions and 20 hits, and she is the player with the highest score in this game. This time, she also added the tactics of the bottom three to make the attack more three-dimensional.

Among the starters, Wu Mengjie played poorly, a pass was chased, 8 deductions and 0 hits in the attack, and 2 were blocked. In the face of the high blocking net of the European and American teams, how to deal flexibly without absolute overhand offensive strength is a problem that Wu Mengjie needs to think about! For example, flat smash hitter out of bounds, light hanging neutral, turning straight line, etc. A high-level wide attacker must also be very good at using his brain, and young players have to learn to be adaptable.

Wang Yunrui came off the bench at the end of the first game, started in the second game, first withstood a pass, then started the second game with her serve round and continued to increase points, and finally in the fourth game, when the score was deadlocked, she scored two points in a row at the fourth position to help the team open up the difference. In this game, Wang Yunrui was blocked in 20 and 7 in 3, and there was a certain gap with the other 4 starting attackers, but the overall performance was passable.

Compared with last year, Wu Mengjie's replacement of Wang Yunrui is the only change in the starting line of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but the performance of a strong team is not good, and it cannot be said that it is "beaten back to its original shape", but it does need to be improved, and the careful construction of the coaching staff has been disappointed. Wu Mengjie's style is too rigid, and Wang Yunrui is too soft, if the two can synthesize, it is a combination of rigidity and softness. Of course, the World League is used to find problems, and the game has only been played twice, and I believe that the players will play better and better after timely correction.

The U.S. women's volleyball team in the first Monday of the World Women's Volleyball League to the substitute lineup, this time led by the 38-year-old veteran Larsson, this time facing the Chinese women's volleyball team, the main attack with Skinner, the secondary attack has Ogbogu, the free man is Orantes Wang, and it can be seen that it has made a lot of effort. But they still have some main players who have not come, such as Robinson and Plummer, who played well in Serie A, and Thompson, who plays in the Turkish Super League, can improve the overall strength of the team.

In this game, Larsson made 16 of 34 deductions, 2 were blocked, 2 blocks and 1 shot, and scored a team-high 19 points. Its ability to bounce and smash the ball may be slightly reduced, but the versatility and rationality of handling the ball are beyond the reach of young players.

Of course, the Chinese women's volleyball team and Zhu Ting will not return to the team until the second week of the World League in Macao. It is believed that both Chinese and American teams can reach the quarterfinals and knockout rounds, and then they will be all the main players, or they may have the opportunity to compete again.
