With the passage of time, the opening ceremony of the new Paris Olympic Games will be opened in just over half a month, and the Chinese Olympic delegation has also entered the final sprint stage. After layers of selection and inspection, the candidates for each participating event are basically determined, and the list of team events will be officially reported on July 8. Among them, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which has attracted much attention, was first announced at the end of last month, and Cai Bin decided to bring players such as Zheng Yixin and Ding Xia after careful consideration, and used the P card in the main offensive position. It is precisely because of this that the Chinese women's volleyball team has as many as 7 side attackers participating in the Olympic Games, Zhuang Yushan is an alternate player, and the remaining 6 people have entered the normal rotation, and Cai Bin's choice is controversial.
But after the announcement period of the Chinese women's volleyball team roster, there was a sudden episode in the training team, and Ding Xia was exposed to a sudden injury, which may have an impact on the Olympic list. As we all know, as early as during the World League, Ding Xia was sent to Beijing for treatment due to allergies, and then missed nearly half a month of closed training. It was not until the eve of the confirmation of the Olympic list that Ding Xia returned to the team, but this time relevant sources revealed that Ding Xia had severe edema again, and whether she could successfully participate in the Olympics became a question mark. You must know that Ding Xia is a veteran and has many old injuries on her body, including knees, waist and shoulders, in fact, there are injuries of varying degrees.
Now that there is edema, Cai Bin directly chose to recall Xu Xiaoting, she may replace Ding Xia and be selected for the Olympic list. It's just that with the current situation, there are still many variables in the Olympic list of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and with the return of Xu Xiaoting, the P card quota is the position that really needs to be tested. Because Ding Xia, as the oldest veteran in the team, it does have a certain use to bring to the Olympic Games, Ding Xia has rich experience in the competition, and can play a role in helping newcomers, and at the same time, Ding Xia is also Zhu Ting's golden partner, and the offensive combination of the two in the past two Olympic Games has made great contributions to the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoting's return does not mean that Ding Xia will definitely be eliminated, it can only be said that Xu Xiaoting has become Ding Xia's best stand-in. As a result, there are two major suspenses in the Olympic list of the Chinese women's volleyball team, one option is to let Xu Xiaoting directly replace Ding Xia and substitute Diao Linyu. Although this choice has the best effect, it also gives up the role of Ding Xia, which may have an impact on the team's Olympic trend. The other is to use the P card, insist on bringing Ding Xia, and wait for Ding Xia to really can't play, and then use up the P card quota, and Xu Xiaoting replaces Zhuang Yushan as a standby.
Obviously, the second option should be the ideal approach at present, Zhuang Yushan's offensive ability is outstanding, and the one-pass defense is also good. But Zhuang Yushan is only 1.8 meters after all, if she is really sent on the field due to injury, it will be very difficult to play against European and American teams. Moreover, there are as many as 6 side attackers in the Chinese women's volleyball team, and there are 5 people in addition to Zheng Yixin, so the possibility of suffering from injuries is still smaller. For this reason, Zhuang Yushan's position is the most unstable, she is afraid that she will be out of the whistle, and Xu Xiaoting will get the last P card spot, which is also a result that fans do not want to see. But for the sake of insurance, sacrificing Zhuang Yushan seems to have become a must-do, and it depends on how Cai Bin will choose in the end.
