On August 6, Beijing time, in the Chinese women's volleyball Paris Olympic Games women's volleyball knockout round, in the case of falling behind 1:2, stubbornly dragged the score to the decisive game, and finally lost to the Turkey women's volleyball team 2:3, ending their Olympic journey. Throughout the four Olympic games we played, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team can be described in four words, the players played very tenacious, especially in this knockout match, I believe that every fan who watched the process of this game will not criticize the players on the field, including our coaches, they have also done the ultimate, but it is precisely because they have played to the extreme, or they have not been able to stand on the podium to go further, which is really difficult for many players to accept.
After the competition, Li Yingying was in tears, this is her second Olympic Games, but both Olympics are not particularly perfect. Although the results of this Olympic Games are even better than the last one, and her own growth and tactical position on the field have also improved and improved, there is definitely still a gap between her expectations and expectations. Before this competition, Li Yingying said that she hoped to stand on the podium of the Olympic Games, but this goal was not achieved. Although I mentioned that everyone's performance in this game was very good, I think there are still areas that can be improved, at least three points, as the head coach Cai Bin, if you can do some foreshadowing in the past, or if the preparation for this game will be a little more sufficient, maybe our result will be different.
The first is the preparation of the opponent's substitutes, this game and the previous Serbia women's volleyball game have a common feature, the opponent in the 3rd and 4th games, the use of frequent changes of the main attack. Change the way of the rhythm of the game to disrupt the defense of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The defense of the Chinese women's volleyball team in this Olympic Games is very good, especially the ability to block the net has been greatly improved, so these teams are also very afraid of the height of the two secondary attacks of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Before Serbia was by changing the main attack, especially some short main attack, disrupted the defense of the Chinese women's volleyball team, this game we have learned the lessons of the previous game, there is still no big change, the reason why the Turkey women's volleyball team was able to win the third game is also by constantly changing the main attack to win, including the fourth game we were forced by the opponent to the final close to the decisive point in the case of a big score lead, with this piece our coaching staff still seems to be not very well prepared.
The second is today's substitution. In the second and third games, it was obvious that Zhu Ting was difficult to score in at least these two games, in this case, could we replace Wu Mengjie earlier? When Wu Mengjie was replaced, the Chinese women's volleyball team was on the verge of elimination, especially in the tiebreaker, the young player's psychological quality could not withstand it, he did not dare to score under the ball, and he did not dare to take the initiative to attack the court, after all, this was her first Olympic Games. If Wu Mengjie can be replaced earlier in the second and third games, there is still a lot of room for error behind at that time, Wu Mengjie may be able to play like she played Serbia before, without much psychological baggage, she is powerful, the level of the Serbia team is not worse than Turkey, then she plays Serbia and plays Turkey today in two completely two states, because the timing of the change is indeed different from the group stage of the last game.
Finally, there is the problem of the depth of our squad, the frequency of substitutions of the opponent after four games. Including the France women's volleyball team, are higher than the Chinese women's volleyball team substitution, our tactics still tend to be conservative and single, the opponent can constantly change the main attack, change the second pass to disrupt our defense, but we can only use one set of tactics, even if it is to change Zhang Changning up, it is also to let her be a serving machine. , so in the 4th and 5th games of this game, the attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team did not play very smoothly, and the reason why we were able to win the 4th game was due to the mistakes of the Turkey women's volleyball team, plus our defense did a good job, otherwise we might lose this game 1:3.
