Beijing time on August 6, the Paris Olympics women's volleyball 1/4 finals started today, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face Turkey at 3 pm Beijing time on August 6. This game is not only about the semi-finals, but also a major test for the Chinese women's volleyball team's Olympic journey. Just before the game, head coach Cai Bin faced two unfavorable news, adding a few uncertainties to the already tense situation.
The women's volleyball team advanced to the key battle
The performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the group stage can be described as amazing. Successive defeats against strong enemies such as United States, France and Serbia. It showed the strength and momentum of the championship level. Such a record not only boosted the morale of the team, but also made the fans look forward to the promotion. Sports are often fraught with uncertainty. Especially on the eve of a key battle, any slight change can affect the final result.
One of the bad news: Zhu Ting was injured
The first bad news was the injury of captain Zhu Ting. In the game against Serbia, Zhu Ting accidentally bumped into the advertising board. Resulting in hand injuries. Although the team has not released the details of the injury, it has undoubtedly cast a shadow on the Chinese team. As the team's core attacker, Zhu Ting's state is directly related to the team's offensive firepower. If you are unable to play or fight with injuries, it will greatly affect the tactical arrangement and game rhythm of the Chinese team.
Bad news two: Yuan Xinyue is not doing well
The second worrying issue is the ups and downs of secondary attacker Yuan Xinyue's form. As an important rotation player of the team, Yuan Xinyue's performance in the group stage was not stable. In particular, repeated mistakes in key games have caused a lot of controversy. Facing strong rivals Turkey, the Chinese team needs every player to maintain the best condition. Whether Yuan Xinyue can adjust in time will directly affect the overall performance of the team.
Coach Cai Bin's coping strategy
Crises often contain opportunities. Two headwinds can also be a catalyst for the team's potential. It is reported that Coach Cai Bin has formulated a coping strategy for these problems. On the one hand, he could give more opportunities to young players. A new generation of players such as Li Yingying and Wang Yunrui are expected to take the lead at critical moments. On the other hand, the team is actively adjusting its tactics to maximize the advantage of other players in the event that Zhu Ting may be absent.
Advantage against Turkey
The Chinese women's volleyball team seems to have the upper hand on the psychological level. Looking back at this year's World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese team defeated Turkey 3:2. This memory not only gave the players confidence, but also provided a valuable reference for the coaching staff to formulate tactics.
Let's expect the Chinese women's volleyball team to overcome difficulties and play at its due level. The spirit of the women's volleyball team advocates that they are not afraid of strong enemies, unite as one, and never give up. I believe that this team will give us a good game. Write a new chapter for the Chinese women's volleyball team. When the whistle blew at 15:00, let's cheer for the Chinese women's volleyball team. Witness their breakthrough and growth in the Paris Olympics.
