On May 17, when the battle between China and the United States in the Women's Volleyball World League was boiling, there was a special audience in the stands, she was Shannon Wenzel, the head coach of the Canadian women's volleyball team. It seems that the Chinese team played a scorching style in this game Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan, Gong Xiangyu, Yuan Xinyue and others, as well as Coach Cai Bin's tactical use and substitution rhythm, will become her focus on research, prevention and targeting.
As we all know, in fact, the most critical game of the Chinese women's volleyball team in Brazil of the Women's Volleyball World League is to compete with the Canadian team, which also did not get an Olympic ticket. Because the South Korean team is a weak team at the bottom, and the United States and Serbia have already qualified for the Olympic Games, the wins and losses of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Canadian women's volleyball team are directly related to the rise and fall of points, which has to be paid great attention to.
Speaking of the fate of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Canadian women's volleyball team, the Canadian team has always been the loser of the Chinese women's volleyball team. There are only two exceptions, one is in the 2021 World Women's Volleyball League, where the Canadian team defeated the Chinese team.
Another time, in the most critical Olympic tournament last year, the Canadian team broke the undefeated golden body of the Chinese women's volleyball team with a score of 3-2 successively defeated Ukraine, Mexico, and the Czech Republic, and started a four-game losing streak, which is memorable and has also stabbed the Chinese team in the heart. This is another critical scene of your life and death, and you can't be careless at all.
The Canadian women's volleyball team has two "killer features": one is the high quality of the serve, which can destroy the opponent's pass, cause a lot of pressure on the opponent, and create favorable conditions for their own blocking and defense. The second is to defend tenaciously, be able to withstand the opponent's strong attack, and play an effective score with a stable pass and a quick counterattack.
In recent years, the rise of the Canadian women's volleyball team has benefited from a group of players such as Van Rijk, Gray, and Maras, and the technology has become increasingly mature. In particular, the form of the core main player Gray has become the key to whether the Canadian team can win. On the one hand, it depends on her for attack, and on the other hand, it depends on her for a stable pass. So in the past, when playing the Canadian team, I often used Gray as a breakthrough. By breaking a pass and influencing Gray as much as possible, the game will be easy to play. On the contrary, the Canadian team, which plays more emotionally, is often influenced by Gray and drives the whole team.
At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team has won two consecutive victories, but it is necessary to learn the lessons of the Olympic qualifying tournament, not to be arrogant or impatient, always keep a clear head, like playing the United States team, make full preparations before the game, and know that the opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. As for the Chinese team against the Canadian team, whether it is a wave of three consecutive victories, or a repeat of the mistakes of the Olympic Championships, the results will be known in the early hours of tomorrow morning, let us cheer for the Chinese women's volleyball team!
