In the upcoming Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team will welcome their first opponent in the group stage - the powerful United States team. Head coach Cai Bin said in an interview that although the team is in good shape overall, their preparation focus is still on how to deal with this crucial opening game. Cai Bin hopes that the team can unload the burden, meet every opponent with the best condition and fighting spirit, and ensure that they can play at the level they deserve.
Cai Bin's goal is actually very clear, he hopes that the team can face the upcoming game with a relaxed mentality, and not let the external pressure affect his performance. When many fans discussed the matter on social media, they generally expressed their support and understanding for Cai Bin's words. A netizen wrote in the comment area: "Cai Bin's statement is very right, take it easy during the game, don't be crushed by pressure, so that you can play at the level you usually train." ”
Indeed, in the past two Olympic Games, the Chinese team has not performed well in the first game, and has failed to win. At the last Tokyo Olympics, the team lost to a strong opponent in the opening game, which caused many people to worry about the opening game of the year. A senior volleyball commentator analyzed on the forum: "We are indeed facing a big challenge in the face of United States this time. However, the fighting spirit that Cai Bin said is something we must adhere to. After all, against a strong opponent, we have to give it our all to have a chance of winning the game. ”
Cai Bin mentioned in an interview that he hopes the team can focus on hard work and play in the best state in every game. He made a point of emphasizing the importance of each opponent, as every game is an opportunity to test the quality of the team. An enthusiastic volleyball fan expressed a similar opinion in the community: "Cai Bin's words are actually to remind the players that no matter who the opponent is, they must play every game seriously. A strong team like United States must not be taken lightly. ”
Cai Bin's coaching style has been discussed a lot in volleyball circles. Many people have different opinions about his coaching characteristics, mainly focusing on a few aspects. First of all, Cai Bin attaches great importance to offense tactically, which is widely recognized. Under his leadership, the team's offense is very fast-paced, with players often engaging in high-intensity fast breaks and quick counter-attacks. Many fans believe that this style of attack makes the game more exciting. A netizen commented on the forum: "The offensive tactics under Cai Bin's coaching are really dazzling, and seeing the players attack quickly, every game is very enjoyable." ”
However, there are also many people who have made some criticisms of Cai Bin's coaching style. Some people feel that his technical requirements are rather rough, especially in training, and the basic technical details of the players are not paid enough attention. This technical roughness often exposes problems in key matches. A netizen in the volleyball fan group posted: "Cai Bin's tactics are indeed very aggressive, but I think the team's technical details are a little rough. Deficiencies in fundamentals are often revealed in competitions, and this needs to be improved. ”
In addition, Cai Bin's control of details is often criticized. Some fans felt that he did not pay enough attention to the details of the game, such as the details of serving and returning, and the team sometimes made unnecessary mistakes. This has left fans worried about the stability of the game. A netizen who left a message in the comment section of the match said: "I am very worried that the team's mistakes in handling some details may affect the outcome of the game if these details are not improved." ”
Another thing that is more obvious is Cai Bin's stubbornness in employing people. Sometimes he is very insistent on the use of certain players and is reluctant to try other players or tactics. This stubborn approach to employing people has left some fans confused that he may not have made the most of the team's overall strengths. A fan complained on social platforms: "Cai Bin's insistence on a fixed lineup makes me a little incomprehensible. The form of the players and the situation of the opponents are constantly changing, so why not make some adjustments according to the actual situation? ”
Looking back on history, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the United States women's volleyball team experienced some twists and turns in the first match of the Olympic Games. At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team faced the United States team in the first match, and the result was an easy 3-0 victory. That game was an important start for the Chinese women's volleyball team, after all, the first victory over United States at the Olympics injected great confidence into the team. Many fans recall that moment and will still be proud and proud of the victory at that time. A veteran fan once said in an interview: "That victory in 1988 was a landmark moment for our women's volleyball team, and everyone was very excited at that time. ”
However, the good times did not last long, and at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the first game of the Chinese women's volleyball team against the United States team did not continue the glory of the previous edition. In that game, the Chinese team lost 1-3, and there were many problems in the game, especially in the grasp of key points. The defeat left many fans frustrated, and everyone was uneasy about the future of the team. One active social media fan wrote at the time: "I was really disappointed to see the moment we lost to United States. Hopefully, the next games will be better, otherwise the prospects for this Olympics will not be optimistic. ”
However, the rebound of the Chinese women's volleyball team is very strong. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, although Zhao Ruirui left the field with an injury at the beginning, the team faced a great challenge, but the Chinese women's volleyball team still defeated United States 3-1. This victory not only gave the team a good start, but also laid the foundation for the eventual championship. The team's tenacity and fighting spirit lifted all the supporters. After that match, many fans said: "That victory in Athens was really exciting, it felt like recovering face from previous defeats. It was really touching to see the team members fighting in the face of adversity. ”
At the tactical level, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the United States women's volleyball team play very similarly, and both teams focus on ensuring a pass and pursuing a quick attack as their main tactics. Therefore, the Chinese team is no stranger to the playing style of United States. One of the key tactics of the Chinese team is to disrupt the United States' one-pass system with a ferocious serve, which can force the United States team to adjust its attack and defense, especially when the United States team's side attack strength is insufficient, and the Chinese team can use this to effectively counterattack.
However, it is also possible that the United States team will use similar tactics against the Chinese team. Therefore, the key to the match will be on the performance of serve and return. Which team will have the upper hand in these two sessions will largely determine the outcome of the match.
According to the FIVB points system, the result of the match will directly affect the points ranking. A 3-0 win over United States would add 13.01 points, a 3-1 win would add 9.89 points, and a 3-2 win would add 6.76 points. On the contrary, if the Chinese team loses, the corresponding points will be reduced. Especially compared with a strong opponent like Serbia, the Chinese team has a better chance of winning the game in the face of United States and laying a solid foundation for advancing to the quarterfinals.
Overall, this showdown is not only a game, but also an important test for the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Paris Olympics. The team's performance and tactical use will have a direct impact on their overall performance and the direction of subsequent matches. It is hoped that the Chinese women's volleyball team can face United States in the best condition and lay a good foundation for future competitions.
