On July 30, 2024, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the United States women's volleyball team in five sets in an exciting match, which not only showed the tenacious struggle of the Chinese players, but also highlighted the major improvement in tactics of head coach Cai Bin. This match was hailed as Cai Bin's "Battle of the Gods", showing his outstanding performance in tactical adjustment and on-the-spot command.
In the past, Cai Bin often insisted on a fixed lineup and hardly made adjustments. His tactical approach is known for being consistent, and once a starting line-up is confirmed, it is largely unreadily changed. This stubborn style has frustrated many fans, who feel that there is always a lack of change and flexibility in the game. However, in the match against the United States women's volleyball team on July 30, 2024, Cai Bin showed unprecedented tactical flexibility, which impressed many fans.
The most surprising thing about this game was that Zhang Changning did not appear on the court. Zhang Changning has always been the main attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team, starting almost every game. However, this time Cai Bin did not place her in the starting lineup. This decision broke with the previous practice and came as a surprise to many fans. Some netizens discussed this issue on social media after the game began, and some said: "Zhang Changning is not on the court, is Cai Bin playing any new tricks?" Others speculated: "Is Zhang Changning in a bad state?" This substitution seems to have come prepared. ”
Cai Bin's adjustment was clearly planned, and he boldly used a number of players, including Yuan Xinyue and Zhu Ting, and made frequent substitutions. In the game, Cai Bin frequently rotated Yuan Xinyue and Zhu Ting on the court, and this substitution strategy made the United States team's defense look a little tired to cope. Some netizens commented: "This time Cai Bin is really smart, the substitutions are frequent and every time is very targeted, I feel that the United States team is a little confused." Some fans also commented: "Cai Bin used to be a stubborn coach, but now it seems that he has really improved." ”
The strategy of frequent substitutions not only makes the Chinese women's volleyball team more flexible at both offensive and defensive ends, but also makes the overall tactics more unpredictable. In the face of the strong attack of the United States team, Cai Bin's tactical adjustment has had a good effect. Many fans commented positively on this change, with someone saying: "Seeing Cai Bin's change in this game really refreshed my cognition, I always thought that he would not change, but now it seems that he has indeed found a new tactical way." ”
Cai's performance in this game was also reflected in his use of timeouts and challenges. His decision to pause was particularly decisive at critical moments. For example, when the Chinese team fell behind 7-8 in the fifth game, Cai Bin quickly asked for a timeout, so that the Chinese team adjusted its state in time and scored three consecutive points to successfully overtake. On top of that, Cai Bin has also used challenges on several occasions to temporarily interrupt his opponent's attacking rhythm, which is an innovation that is almost impossible to see in previous matches. This tactical breakthrough effectively changed the trend of the game and helped the Chinese team win the final victory.
The biggest feature of Cai Bin's coaching is that he can optimize the combination of players with different styles to improve the performance of the entire team. He pays great attention to technical details in his tactical set-up, always striving for tactical changes to adapt to different situations on the field. Cai Bin's tactical system emphasizes timely adjustment according to the actual situation on the field to ensure that each player can play their best.
Many fans expressed great recognition of Cai Bin's coaching style. Some netizens commented on social media: "Cai Bin is really a master tactician, and he can integrate so many players with different styles into a strong team, which is really amazing." "Sometimes, he can quickly identify the weaknesses of the opponent in the game and make immediate adjustments, which allows the team to turn the situation around in time. A fan posted a Weibo post during the game, writing: "Every time I watch Cai Bin's games, I always feel that his tactics can always be surprisingly successful, and I feel that he is a commander who controls the overall situation on the sidelines." ”
Cai Bin also attaches great importance to the technical details of the players, whether it is defense or offense, every action requires meticulous and in place. For example, he spends a lot of time in training emphasizing the offensive ability of the secondary offensive players. In Cai Bin's tactical system, the secondary attack is not only a defensive role, but also a quick assault when attacking to pose a threat to the opponent. This has also caused discussion in the fandom. An enthusiastic fan wrote: "I think Cai Bin's requirements for secondary offense are really high, not only to defend, but also to be able to play beautiful offense. This all-round requirement makes the team's offensive and defensive transitions very fluid. ”
His flexibility in adjusting tactics is also a distinguishing trait. For example, in a key match, the Chinese team's performance was in trouble for a while. Cai Bin observed that the opponent's blocking strategy had caused trouble to the attacks of his own players, and immediately adjusted his tactics and shifted the focus of the players' attacks to the opponent's weak points. This quick adjustment allowed the Chinese team to turn the situation around in the second half, and some netizens sighed: "Cai Bin's adjustment is simply a stroke of genius, and he can find a way to crack the opponent's tactics in a short period of time, I really admire!" ”
It is also worth mentioning that Cai Bin is able to bring out the characteristics of each player and make them play well in the game. A fan once commented in the live broadcast: "Cai Bin has a very deep understanding of each player, and he knows how to use the strengths of each player to maximize the performance of the whole team." "These meticulous tactical arrangements and quick adjustments have allowed the team to remain competitive in the game and have won high praise from the fans.
Especially in the fifth game, Cai Bin's tactical decision-making showed his superb command ability. When China led 13-11, he decisively asked to challenge the net, a move that not only interrupted the offensive rhythm of the United States team, but also stabilized the situation on the court for the Chinese team. Such a decision allowed the Chinese women's volleyball team to seize the opportunity to win and finally won the game.
Although Cai Bin has made significant progress in tactical adjustments, there are also some shortcomings. For example, in the third game, the Chinese team's pass fluctuated, but Cai Bin was slow to make a substitution and failed to solve the problem in time. Especially on the issue of one pass in the third game, Cai Bin chose to replace Wu Mengjie instead of Zhang Changning, which caused a lot of controversy. In addition, Yuan Xinyue's performance is also unsatisfactory, and the substitution strategy still needs to be improved.
After the game, Cai Bin explained why he chose Wu Mengjie instead of Zhang Changning at a critical moment. He said that this choice was made to continue to strengthen the attack in the game, rather than to stabilize the first pass, and although this decision was not fully recognized, it also showed his ability to think and adjust his strategy during the game. This match not only showcased Cai Bin's tactical wisdom, but also reflected his growth and progress.
Overall, this match against the United States was a landmark battle in Cai Bin's coaching career. He has made significant breakthroughs in tactical adjustments, substitution strategies and on-the-spot decision-making, winning unanimous praise from both inside and outside the industry. I hope that Cai Bin can continue to maintain this excellent state and lay a solid foundation for the future of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
