The women's volleyball team 1-3 Canada, after such a result came out, the fans were helpless anyway. Of course, the reason for this is because the impact of offense and defense on the situation is too great. None of the points will help the team.
Especially in terms of passing, this is the lifeblood of volleyball. Unfortunately, we always have problems with the key points. Once there is no pass, there is no tactic, and the success rate of the ball will be very low. In the face of Europe's tall blocks, it's easy to miss the ball. It was also for this reason that at the end of the fourth game, we were continuously restricted by the opponent's serve, which seriously hindered the team's scoring.
And from the second setter, it's been a convulsion. With three setters, none of them worked. The older ones can't run, the younger ones don't dare to use it, and Diao Linyu is still panicking when he hits Canada. There are several opportunities where the ball is flying around, either too close to the net too low, or too open to the net, which makes the teammates how to get off the ball? Diao Linyu's problem in the headwind ball is already a cliché, but unfortunately the adjustment cannot be completed.
And the blocking side can't give enough help. A lot of them are destructive blocks, and there are no effective restrictions on Canada's two core scoring points, the opponent can play no matter how they play, and the key points are indiscriminately killed, so this kind of defense cannot give any pressure. In the end, the first pass has been flying, the second pass has not been organized, and the secondary attack and blocking net are useless, can this be acceptable to the fans?
Even the problem of mentality has not been solved. In the U.S. game, we were able to play our key ball perfectly and win the final victory. However, in the match against Canada, the key points were lost in a row. Especially in the third and fourth games, we lost like that. In fact, in the previous Olympic qualifiers, we lost against Canada. The goal that could have been won 3-1 was chased alive to 2-2, and finally lost to the opponent 2-3. If we play again, our mentality will definitely be even worse.
