8 deductions and 0 hits, no points were scored, this is Wu Mengjie's answer sheet in the face of the American women's volleyball team. She scored 14 points in a good performance against the South Korean women's volleyball team, but she looked helpless against strong opponents. Wu Mengjie exposed the side that she is not very good at fighting tough battles. In fact, Wu Mengjie followed the Chinese women's volleyball team to the Olympic qualifying tournament and did not perform brilliantly. In contrast, Zhuang Yushan, who lost the Brazilian competition, has the ability to fight hard, but unfortunately Cai Bin did not give her the opportunity to play.
Wu Mengjie's sluggish state is obviously an important reason why the Chinese women's volleyball team lost the first game. Cai Bin was then replaced by Wang Yunrui, and the team's performance improved. Wang Yunrui performed well in one pass, and at the same time scored 7 points in the last three games, of course, her success rate of 20 deductions and 7 was not very high. Zhang Changning still hasn't recovered to his best condition yet, and is only coming off the bench to serve.
Maybe the Chinese women's volleyball team should let Zhuang Yushan practice at this stop, after all, the Chinese women's volleyball team brought 3 setters, but in fact, it was only Diao Linyu. It is completely possible to bring one less setter and let Zhuang Yushan participate.
Zhuang Yushan is 1.84 meters tall and belongs to the short main attacker in today's volleyball world, she will shine in 2023, leading the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the Universiade championship as the captain, and leading the Chinese U20 national youth women's volleyball team to win the World Youth Championship as the captain. Zhuang Yushan was also crowned the world junior scoring champion with an undisputed performance.
In the 2023-24 women's volleyball league, Zhuang Yushan is one of the best main attackers, she scored 412 points and ranked first in the league scoring list, suppressing Li Yingying, Wu Mengjie, Zhong Hui and other national players.
Zhuang Yushan has the ability to receive one pass, and is often the player who receives the most passes in the Fujian women's volleyball team. She also has a leadership temperament, is passionate on the pitch and can motivate her teammates. Because of this, Zhuang Yushan was selected as the captain of the Universiade and the World Youth Championships.
Zhuang Yushan is also good at playing tough battles, in the semifinals and finals of the World Youth Championships, Zhuang Yushan performed well, and in the knockout and qualifying matches of the Women's Volleyball League last season, Zhuang Yushan hit 30+ one after another and became a scoring machine.
This is where Zhuang Yushan is powerful, fighting tough battles is absolutely ruthless. From this point of view, Zhuang Yushan is very suitable to be the opposite corner of Li Yingying. She can receive a pass, she attacks fiercely, and she is stronger when she is strong, and she can share the pressure on Li Yingying.
Zhuang Yushan was originally going to play in the Italian league after the league, but the Chinese Volleyball Association recruited her into the training team, and Zhuang Yushan chose to give up staying abroad and participate in the training camp of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but unfortunately she became the first player to be selected among the Chinese women's volleyball team training players.
It is difficult for Zhuang Yushan to have the opportunity to play for the Chinese women's volleyball team this year, after all, Zhu Ting will return in the next game, and the competition for the main offensive position will be more intense.
