Preface
With the fierce battle of the Women's Volleyball World Cup in full swing, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in a high-profile revenge battle.
At 4:30 p.m. on May 18, in the face of the strong Canadian women's volleyball team, can the Chinese women's volleyball team regain its glory?
Coach Cai Bin's tricks will be the key to this game.
Old feud between China and Canada
In the history of the confrontation between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Canadian women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team has always maintained a leading position with its profound heritage and excellent skills.
The 2023 clash was a landslide 3-0 victory, once again proving their dominance on the international stage.
In the game, the Chinese women's volleyball team not only relied on technical means such as accurate serve, solid blocking and sharp smashing, but also made it difficult for the opponent to deal with it through the tacit cooperation between the players.
However, we can't ignore the excellent performance of the Canadian women's volleyball team.
This team should not be underestimated, and their tenacious fighting spirit and unique technical style in the game often create a lot of pressure on the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Especially in the face of the fierce offensive of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Canadian women's volleyball team was able to quickly adjust its tactics and find a good opportunity to counterattack with the tacit understanding between players and accurate smashing.
This contest is not only a contest of strength and technology, but also a contest of will and resilience.
The Chinese women's volleyball team has the upper hand with its overall strength and technical advantages, but the fighting spirit and resilience of the Canadian women's volleyball team are also worthy of our praise.
Their stable performance and courage in the game have brought a lot of challenges to the Chinese women's volleyball team.
So, in the future encounters, will the Canadian women's volleyball team be able to rely on these advantages?
Challenging the hegemony of the Chinese women's volleyball team?
This is undoubtedly the focus of our expectation and attention.

The Canadian women's volleyball team recently announced a luxurious lineup for international competitions, and its strong lineup composition will undoubtedly become a strong opponent of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The main offensive position is led by experienced players such as Hovey, Mitrovic and Gray, who are full of firepower on the offensive end and full of power to smash the ball, which will bring great pressure to the defense of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Players such as Magrio and Ogmos in the secondary offensive position are known for their excellent blocking ability and fast offensive ability, and they will build a solid defense in the front row to make it difficult for opponents to break through.
Van Rijk and Joseph in the receiving position are the team's scoring weapons, and their attacking tools are versatile and can bring victory to the team when it matters most.
Gray, the core of the team, as the captain, has become a nightmare for opponents with his strong attack and blocking ability.
And the tacit cooperation between Van Rijk and Brie King (Brie O'Reilly) is the guarantee of the team's attack.
The Canadian women's volleyball team is known for its fast and changeable style of play, and is good at using fast counterattacks and multi-point attacks to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, while controlling mistakes and performing well, and the overall combat effectiveness is strong.
In the face of such a strong opponent, the Chinese women's volleyball team must go all out in order to stand out more in this fierce competition.
In the fierce competition of the international women's volleyball team, the long-term dominance of the Brazilian women's volleyball team seems to be unbreakable.
However, a recent international friendly match shattered this stereotype.
The Canadian women's volleyball team brought an unprecedented impact to the Brazilian women's volleyball team with its amazing strength and potential in this game.
In this high-profile competition, the Brazilian and Canadian women's volleyball teams fought fiercely for four games, and finally the Brazilian women's volleyball team narrowly won with a score of 3:1. But the process of the game was more fascinating than the result.
In the first game, the Brazilian women's volleyball team won 26:24 with a narrow advantage, but the tenacious fighting spirit and tacit teamwork shown by the Canadian women's volleyball team have already amazed the global audience.
In the second game, the Canadian women's volleyball team relied on excellent tactical arrangements and stable play to successfully counterattack 25:23 and pull back a game.
In the crucial third game, although the Brazilian women's volleyball team once took the lead, the Canadian women's volleyball team chased the score to 24 with its indomitable spirit and precise attack.
In the end, the Brazilian women's volleyball team won 26:24 with a difficult victory with rich experience and strong adaptability.
However, the intensity of this game was enough for the Canadian women's volleyball team to gain great confidence.
Although the Canadian women's volleyball team lost 12:25 in the fourth game, the strength and fighting spirit they showed in the first three games were enough to impress the world.
The Canadian women's volleyball team, currently ranked 11th in the world, is gradually narrowing the gap with the top teams and becoming an emerging force that cannot be ignored in the international women's volleyball arena.
In recent years, the performance of the Canadian women's volleyball team in the international arena has steadily improved, and it has also achieved good results in the confrontation with the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Especially in last year's Olympic qualifying tournament, they narrowly defeated the Chinese women's volleyball team 17:15 in the deciding game, a feat that undoubtedly won them more attention and respect on the international women's volleyball stage.
With the upcoming international competitions, the Canadian women's volleyball team will undoubtedly become an important competitor of the major teams.
Their rise has not only injected new vitality into the international women's volleyball team, but also changed the original competitive landscape.
For the Chinese women's volleyball team, the rise of the Canadian women's volleyball team is undoubtedly a new challenge, and they need to pay more attention to this opponent and formulate more sophisticated tactics to deal with it.
The preparation of the Chinese women's volleyball team
With the Paris Olympics approaching, the preparation of the Chinese women's volleyball team has also entered a critical stage.

During this period, the team's training intensity, player form and tactical adjustments have shown a positive momentum, and they are fully prepared for the upcoming competition.
The training intensity of the Chinese women's volleyball team has always maintained high standards and strict requirements.
The players are doing intense physical and technical training every day to ensure they can perform at their best during the game.
At the same time, the coaching team has also formulated a personalized training plan according to the actual situation of each player to help them improve their technical level and enhance their physical reserves.
In terms of competitive style, the Chinese women's volleyball players showed excellent competitive spirit and state.
In the rigorous training, the team members showed a high level of concentration and strong execution, and pursued excellence in every detail and strived for perfection.
At the same time, the team also pays special attention to the cultivation of psychological adjustment and team spirit to ensure that each player can maintain the best mentality in the game, play the team spirit, and lay a solid foundation for victory on the field.
In terms of tactical adjustment, the Chinese women's volleyball team has made targeted tactical arrangements according to the strength of the opponent and its own characteristics.
As the core commander of the team, Coach Cai Bin has shown superb tactical literacy and command ability.
According to the characteristics of his opponent, he formulated a variety of tactical plans, and repeated drills and adjustments in training.
One of Coach Cai Bin's tricks is the careful creation of the main attacker Li Yingying.
Through special training, he helped Li Yingying improve the power and stability of her offense, making her a scoring weapon for the team in the game.
In addition, Coach Cai Bin also pays attention to the team's overall coordination and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, disrupting the opponent's defensive rhythm through a fast and changeable tactical system, and creating more scoring opportunities for the team.
In recent games, Coach Cai Bin has shown his unique tactical vision, especially in the selection of the starting lineup.
In every game, he almost takes Wu Mengjie and Li Yingying's strong main offensive partner as the core, supplemented by Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan's solid secondary attack, Gong Xiangyu's flexible response, Diao Linyu's accurate setter, and Wang Mengjie's steady free man, forming what he calls the "7 fairies" lineup.
However, in the clash with the American team, we noticed a surprising phenomenon.
Wu Mengjie, the 21-year-old main attacker, suffered Waterloo in this crucial battle, and did not score any of the eight smashes. At the end of the first quarter, she had to be replaced by the experienced Wang Yunrui.
This is undoubtedly a severe test for Wu Mengjie, and it also shows us the instability of young players in the competition.
However, it was in this showdown with the American team that Coach Cai Bin showed his "killer feature".
At the critical moment of the competition, he resolutely replaced the Olympic champion Zhang Changning.
The experienced veteran came on the court at the end of the game to serve and won the crucial third game for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Her serve went straight to the point, which became the turning point of the match.
This tactical adjustment not only reflects Coach Cai Bin's foresight, but also allows us to see the infinite possibilities of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Based on Coach Cai Bin's employment characteristics, we have reason to guess that he may use this tactic again in the upcoming showdown with the Canadian women's volleyball team.
At the end of each game, we may be able to see Zhang Changning, and her serve will undoubtedly become the magic weapon of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The Chinese women's volleyball team lost for the first time, and the competition for Olympic qualification is grim
In the Rio arena of the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League, the high-profile Chinese women's volleyball team unexpectedly lost 1-3 to the Canadian team and suffered the first defeat of the World League.
This result not only shocked the fans, but also cast a shadow on the Chinese women's volleyball team's Olympic qualification competition.
According to the women's volleyball points rules, the higher-ranked team will suffer a larger point loss when losing to the lower-ranked team.
Because of this, the Chinese women's volleyball team was greatly deducted points after the loss, even though the world ranking slipped from fifth to seventh.
At the same time, the Japanese women's volleyball team showed strong strength in the Turkish competition.
They successfully counterattacked the world's No. 1 Turkish women's volleyball team with a score of 3-2, and this victory made the Japanese women's volleyball team's points soar by 9.9 points, leaping to Dominica to eighth in the world, and the gap with the Chinese women's volleyball team gradually narrowed.
The outstanding performance of the Japanese women's volleyball team has undoubtedly increased their confidence in competing for Olympic qualifications, and has also brought a lot of pressure to the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In the qualification match for the Paris Olympics, there are 12 places for each men's and women's volleyball teams, five of which are determined by the world rankings.
In the face of the hot pursuit of competitors such as the Japanese team, the Chinese women's volleyball team must remain vigilant and go all out to strive for more victories and points.
Only then will they be able to stay ahead of the fierce competition and secure a valuable Olympic qualification.
However, the Chinese women's volleyball team is also facing some problems that need to be solved urgently.
In the game, problems such as instability in the first pass often arise, leaving opportunities for the opponent to take advantage of.
