On May 18, Beijing time, the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League continued, and the competition became more and more intense, with only three teams currently maintaining a winning streak, namely Brazil, Japan, and Poland.
The Chinese women's volleyball team has received a lot of criticism because of the loss, the opponent played well is one thing, and its own poor performance is also a factor, when a pass was seriously impacted, Cai Bin did not immediately adjust the personnel, but waited until he was behind by more points before changing, even if the substitution was only short-lived, and did not send a new lineup to try, or more cautious, even too careful, Li Yingying had both a pass pressure and offensive pressure, and even the adjustment of the offensive ball almost relied on her to play alone.
The blocking net is basically invisible, the more they play, the more excited they become, the serve does not rush out, and the setter also has various problems, it is not good to change Ding Xia, and Xu Xiaoting, otherwise what would you do with three setters.
A matchup of European teams, Poland vs. the Netherlands, the Polish women's volleyball team has made great progress in the past two years, last year's World League ranked first after the end of the sub-tournament, and advanced to the semifinals in the finals.
In the end, the Polish women's volleyball team swept the Dutch women's volleyball team 3-0 (25-20 26-24 25-18) in three straight games, and the Polish women's volleyball team remained undefeated in three consecutive wins, scoring 7.12 points while winning three consecutive games, surpassing the United States and Serbia with 348.14 points, and rising to a new high of third place in the world.
The Polish women's volleyball team responded to Stishak with 16 points (37 deductions, 16 shots, 1 mistake and 3 blocks), the main attack Lukasik 16 points (32 deductions, 15 shots, 2 mistakes, 2 blocks, 1 block, 29 passes and 4 errors, and a pass completion rate of 45%), and the Dutch women's volleyball team scored 18 points (37 deductions, 16 shots, 2 errors, 3 blocks, 1 block, 20 passes and 3 errors, and a pass completion rate of 35%).
This result is also normal, the strength of Poland is stronger, the key is in the second game, the Netherlands once had a chance to win, but missed the opportunity, how much it also affected the third game, the gap is in the offense, Poland scored 51 points, the Netherlands only 38 points, blocking the net, serving is almost the same, and the mistakes are 12.
After losing this game, the Dutch team was deducted 7.12, and the current world ranking of 282.19 points dropped one place to 11th, 4.73 points behind the rival Canadian women's volleyball team, and the Olympic qualification situation is grim.
The United States lost again and again, suffered two consecutive defeats, 1-3 loss to Brazil, these two teams have no pressure to play, last year have been qualified for the Paris Olympics, Brazil is basically the main force, plus it is the host, the United States has always only sent part of the main force in the sub-station competition, and losing to China and Brazil is also a normal result.
