The Chinese women's volleyball team lost 1-3 to the Japanese team in Macao, China, and suffered the second defeat in the sub-tournament. Although the loss of this battle will not cause the bad impact of missing the Paris Olympics, it is really difficult for fans who love the Chinese women's volleyball team to accept the loss to the old enemy Japan and the defeat without playing their own specialties. Against a small but skilled Japan, we struggled to switch between attack and defense at high speeds. Not only failed to show the advantages of the net, but the weaknesses of unstable passing, strong destructiveness of blocking the net, and poor tandem of small balls were fully exposed, coupled with coach Cai Bin's ineffective response, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit of failure.

China's biggest killer against Japan failed to exert its power Sitting on the five main offensive offenses, it is still inferior to its opponents

The Sino-Japanese rivalry has always been the biggest attraction of the Asian women's volleyball team. The Chinese women's volleyball team was able to successfully suppress Japan after its rise, mainly due to the higher strength of the net. Every time we play against Japan, as long as we give full play to the height advantage of the net and put enough pressure on the strong attack and blocking, most of the matches will go relatively smoothly. Against Japan, the Chinese women's volleyball team does not need to play too fancy, and can completely rely on its height and strength advantages to eat the opponent.

Today, in the face of Japan's rapid change and excellent defense, the advantages of the Chinese women's volleyball team in offense and blocking the net cannot be revealed. In the four games, the Chinese team fell behind Japan 61-68 in attack, and the direct score of blocking the net was only 1 point more than the opponent with a large difference in height (China 6-5 Japan). These two data alone are enough to explain the reason for the defeat of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team lost to Japan by 12 points in the whole game, including 7 points in the offensive link. The main offensive line of the Chinese women's volleyball team in Macao is joined by Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Li Yingying, Wang Yunrui and Wu Mengjie. Except for Wang and Wu, whose offensive and defensive balance is slightly inferior, the other 3 generals are both offensive and defensive. With five main attacks, we are still losing to Japan in attack. In addition to the technical flaws, coach Cai Bin is also to blame for the over-stylized use of personnel. In the first and third games, the Chinese team lost in one pass, which objectively reflected that Cai Bin's use of Wang Yunrui and Wu Mengjie was problematic.

Under the high-speed offensive and defensive transformation, it is impossible to keep up with the rhythm of Japan, and the poor blocking of the net has made the women's volleyball team passive

The Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Japan today, exposing problems in many technical links. The author thinks that compared to the always weak pass and small ball tandem, the Chinese team's bad blocking is even worse. Against European and American teams with relatively simple offensive routines, our blocking occasionally has bright spots. However, against a team like Japan, which has a fast offensive and defensive conversion speed and a more delicate handling of the ball, the loopholes of the Chinese women's volleyball team in blocking the net can be seen at a glance. Even if we have a height advantage, we have a lot of problems with hand shape and judgment, and it is easy to be borrowed by the other party.

In addition to the starting 7 players, the Chinese women's volleyball team also successively replaced the main attackers Wu Mengjie, Zhang Changning, Zhu Ting and Zheng Yixin 4 today. The 11 players had the opportunity to block in the front row. Except for the two substitute main attackers Wu Mengjie (blocking efficiency 25%), Zhu Ting (blocking efficiency 0) and starting receiver Gong Xiangyu (blocking efficiency 0), the other 8 players have negative blocking efficiency. Under Japan's rapid pull, the two secondary attackers, Wang Yuanyuan and Yuan Xinyue, made 7 and 6 blocking mistakes respectively. Too many destructive blocks not only did not deter the Japanese attackers, but also made the rhythm of the side more chaotic.

Throughout the game, we were unable to attack Japan's bottom three and break through the right flank No.2 mark. It was difficult for the Chinese team to suppress the opponent at the net, and in the multi-round stalemate, due to the technical gap, it was not as reasonable as Japan's ball handling. After a few rounds, most of the opportunities were seized by the opponent, which also made our players more mentally bottomless and more impatient, and then lost control of the pace of the game.

One pass has been repeatedly missed, many times have been seriously jammed, the ball is rough and delicate, and the team's weaknesses are magnified

The Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Japan 1-3 today, of which the first and third games were lost in a pass that fluctuated greatly and caused a chain reaction, and the fourth game was defeated in the offense and was killed by the opponent. The battle with Japan has put forward a good question for the Chinese women's volleyball team: how to deal with a team with delicate technology if the technology is as rough as ours? In multiple rounds, both sides had equal chances, but our ability to grasp the fighter was clearly inferior to that of our opponents. If several anti-counters are beaten by Japan, the hearts of our players will be furious, and the technical shortcomings will be further magnified.

The Chinese women's volleyball team chose Wang Yunrui and Li Yingying to partner today, hoping to stabilize a pass at the beginning. But it was Wang Yunrui, who had relatively good security in the back row, who had the first problem, and her pass fluctuated in the first half of the first game, which directly led to the team's score being pulled away, and even if she chased wildly at the end, she was unable to return to the sky. In the middle of the third game, Wu Mengjie once failed to make a continuous pass, which even affected her offensive performance, and was caught by Japan and counterattacked.

Although the hard power of the Chinese women's volleyball team surpasses that of the Japanese team, we are also an Asian team, and we obviously have not practiced enough in the details. Japan's smaller players have honed their skills to the extreme. Not only the offensive approach, but also the defense in the fourth game was even more breathtaking. It's not so much that we didn't attack well in the fourth game, but that the opponent's defense has really been trained to a very high level. Even though our players are training hard, it's clear that we haven't been able to get the most out of our training compared to Japan.

Cai Bin's use of people is too stylized and then swallows the bitter fruit, and there is a lack of substitute setters who change the rhythm in adversity

The coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin, has been criticized since he took office, and the most criticized thing is that his employment is too stylized and the game is not adaptable enough. Losing to Japan today, Cai Bin did pay the price for his stubbornness and "slow half-beat" reaction on the spot. This Chinese women's volleyball team has 5 main attackers with different specialties, and how to use them well seems to have a headache for Cai Bin. Is Wang Yunrui, who is good at back-row support, really suitable for the first strike? How can Wu Mengjie avoid the shortcomings of a pass on the field to the greatest extent? When Wang and Wu fluctuate, who is the most suitable substitute?

Today, Cai Bin rarely made a direct selection adjustment in the receiving position, and directly replaced Gong Xiangyu with Zheng Yixin when he fell behind 8-16 in the fourth game. The author thinks that Cai Bin can be more bold in the employment of people in the receiving position. Zheng Yixin's contribution to the team's first pass after coming on the field was limited, and his offense also lacked hard power. Since the main offensive line is rich in personnel, you can try to change Zhang Changning's position to the top of the receiver.

Most of the time China lost to Japan, it followed the rhythm of the opponent. Although the main setter Diao Linyu has worked hard, it is indeed difficult for her to fully control the situation when the team has made repeated mistakes in the first pass and tandem, and she also needs a suitable substitute. The battle between China and Japan objectively illustrates the importance of having a substitute setter who can change the tempo. Veteran Ding Xia's performance in Brazil in the first week was lackluster, and Cai Bin did not entrust her with important responsibilities today. With the current situation of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it may be considered to give the young setter Xu Xiaoting some opportunities.

Although the Chinese women's volleyball team's loss to Japan is not what everyone wants to see, this defeat did sound the alarm for the team. If we want to regain the glory of the past, we still have a lot to work on, and we must take a long-term view!
