The Chinese women's volleyball team will leave for Paris. Before departure, the whole team left a group photo at the "Chinese Women's Volleyball Take-off Hall" in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, and pulled up a banner that read: "I wish the Chinese women's volleyball team a good result in the Paris Olympics". Compared with the previous two Olympic Games, this trip is particularly low-key.
In the group photo, the three sparring partners Wang Wenhan, Xu Xiaoting and Ni Feifei have all left the team and are not among them. Although they knew early that they would miss the Paris Olympics, they still stood at the last minute for the sake of collective glory and helped the team complete their daily training work. As the captain, Yuan Xinyue stood in the C position with two players, Li Yingying and Zhu Ting.
This seems to illustrate the importance of 3 players. Yuan Xinyue is not only the captain of the team, but also the main assistant attacker, she not only needs to be responsible for the work on the field, but also needs to assist the coach to take care of some matters off the field. Li Yingying and Zhu Ting are likely to become the team's main attackers and play together. After the two merge, the overall strength of the team will be improved.
The weakest link of the Chinese team before was Li Yingying's opposite corner. Although Wang Yunrui has a pass, the offensive effect is average, resulting in a serious two-point attack round of the team. Now with the addition of Zhu Ting, the main offensive line has instantly changed from the bottom to the top. The addition of Zhu Ting not only enriches the main offensive line, but also provides a diversion role for the secondary offensive line and the receiving line, making our quick-change tactics more handy.
Because the women's volleyball Olympic format has been adjusted, the difficulty of qualifying for the group stage has increased, and the Chinese team is in Group A with France, Serbia and United States. So what kind of results will the Chinese women's volleyball team achieve? In terms of strength comparison, the Chinese women's volleyball team has a high probability of 1 win and 2 losses to qualify third in the group. The first match against United States will determine the Olympic trend of the whole team, and if the winning team wins, the morale will be high, otherwise it will fall to the bottom.
Since defeating United States in the 04 Athens Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team has lost to United States in the following Olympic Games, and the United States women's volleyball team has a number of players who won the championship in the last Olympics, which is better than the Chinese women's volleyball team in terms of tacit understanding and game experience. However, the Chinese women's volleyball team is not without a chance to win, as long as the serve can break the pass of the United States, there is hope to upset the defending champion.
The second match against France is a must-win game, and only by winning France can you have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals. France are the quintessential European way of playing, and limiting their response is tantamount to winning the game. Zhu Ting's end blocking net is excellent, and it is expected to make France receive deflated. On his own side, Diao Linyu has to use more secondary offense and quick change tactics to score, and this kind of European team is still extremely unsuitable for Asian fast changes.
The third opponent is the Serbia women's volleyball team. If the Chinese women's volleyball team can defeat Serbia, then there is no suspense in qualifying from the group, on the contrary, it depends on the game score and other data, and strives to qualify with the third place with the best two results. Against Serbia, if Boskovic cannot be restrained, their main attack should be limited as much as possible, plus the blocker must be forced to avoid being borrowed. Now Serbia Boskovic's wrist injury is an uncertain factor.
All in all, the Chinese women's volleyball team must win France, against Serbia and United States as much as possible to get points, preferably to play 5 rounds, so that even if 2 losses can ensure group qualification, otherwise they will be eliminated from the group stage.
