Two misjudgments made the Chinese women's volleyball team go through five rounds of hard battles, and finally regretfully fell in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics, to be honest, the Turkey Premier League as the world's first women's volleyball league, their national team is not as strong as imagined.

Superstar play
The Turkey women's volleyball team can win because of the existence of Vargas, the Cuban player who was heavily planned by Turkey, can be said to be the first core of the Turkey women's volleyball team, and the whole team is almost playing around her, regarding her as the team's first main point of attack.
Turkey's style of play in this game almost copied the playing style of the Chinese team at the 2016 Rio Olympics, when the whole team was playing for the superstar Zhu Ting of the women's volleyball team, using her ability to respond to the world's number one at that time for the team, and it was good to find her directly in the second setter on the field.
In this needle-to-wheat game, the Chinese women's volleyball team can match the players of Turkey's Vargas, although Zhu Ting's words have returned to the women's volleyball, but the current state is still significantly lower than the peak, after all, the age is there, this is the fate that all athletes cannot escape.
Another main point of attack, Li Yingying, although after several years of training, has been very powerful, but there is still a lot of gap with Vargas in terms of physical fitness, which can be seen from their starting height and the strength of the smash, this is only talking about the attack in front of the net and the back row, not talking about Vargas's serve.
As a women's player, Vargas can actually reach 97 kilometers per hour at the fastest speed of jumping serve, and she sent out three jump serves with a speed of more than 90 kilometers per hour in this game, such a powerful and heavy serve, which can rarely be prevented in the women's volleyball world, and Li Yingying, the best serve of the Chinese women's volleyball team, has the fastest speed of only 62 kilometers per hour. This difference in power is not a small one.
Vargas is also worthy of being the MVP of the world's No. 1 women's volleyball league, scoring 42 points with three direct points on serve, 38 points on 71 smashes and three powerful serves. And contributed 30 points in the first three games, with an average of 10 points per game, and played very stable in each game.
Referee interference
These two misjudgments appeared in the tiebreaker 10-10 draw, the opponent hit the ball over the net, the referee was directly blind, and awarded this point to the opponent.
In the end, he chose to challenge the opponent to touch the net, because the position of the camera on the scene was only on the edge of the net, and it was impossible to shoot the moment when he jumped up and hit the ball over the net, and the Chinese women's volleyball team could only suffer this dumb loss.
Another misjudgment was when the opponent smashed the ball, the Chinese women's volleyball player fell to the ground to save, the referee gave the penalty that the ball landed first, awarded this point to the Turkey team, Cai Gui challenged again, this time the slow motion saw clearly, the challenge was successful. In the key tiebreaker, the referee successively made unfavorable penalties for the Chinese women's volleyball team, which also affected the mentality of the women's volleyball team to a certain extent.
Run-in of the Olympic cycle
You must know that from 2021 to the present, in the past three years, the women's volleyball team girls can be said to be under very great pressure from public opinion, during which the lineup is also in the run-in period, and the results are not ideal.
It wasn't until two months ago that the team, under the leadership of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, achieved good results in the last three matches of the World Women's Volleyball League one after another, and finally qualified for the Paris Olympics.
Originally, fans thought that the Chinese women's volleyball team would shine in the next World Women's Volleyball League finals, but in order not to let the opponent Japan women's volleyball team understand the true strength of its main force, the Chinese women's volleyball team chose to send a full substitute lineup to face the battle, and finally lost to the Japan women's volleyball team.
This makes mainland fans very incomprehensible, because our relationship with Japan, no matter what time the confrontation is, it is impossible to give up, the same in any aspect, and not directly stabbing D is considered a cowardly performance.
However, this weakness seems to have had a certain effect in the Olympic arena, and the women's volleyball girls also defeated United States, hosts France and Serbia in the group stage to enter the knockout round, which made fans have a lot of expectations, which is not a star and a half compared to a year ago, until they met Turkey.
In fact, the Chinese women's volleyball girls facing Turkey are not necessarily losing, the reason is very simple, because in the previous World Women's Volleyball League Hong Kong station, the Chinese women's volleyball team once defeated the Turkey women's volleyball team, and at that time it was still in the case of losing two games in a row, completing a three-game reversal.
Although Turkey had the main team absent due to injury, this victory did increase a lot of confidence for the women's volleyball girls, and finally allowed them to fight their opponents in the Olympic knockout round for 5 games before losing regrettably.
Future directions
Although the women's volleyball girls lost in the knockout round, there is still a certain gap between the strength of the fans who hope to win the championship, but they did play the best state they can show now, and they also held on to the opponent until the last moment, they just lost to Vargas and the referee's misjudgment caused by the change in mentality, and the perseverance of the women's volleyball team is vividly reflected in them.
To be honest, according to the current strength of the women's volleyball team, even after the Turkey women's volleyball team, it is already quite difficult to go further, that is, the strength of the top four at most.
In fact, after the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship in the Rio Olympics, the strength of the team has declined to varying degrees, which is the law, in the big ball project, it can really maintain its strength in the two Olympic cycles, and there are very few teams that have won the championship, and then in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the change of head coach, the departure of players, and the growth of young players have not kept up, which has led to the decline of women's volleyball results.
Now, if the women's volleyball team wants to return to the top again, they can only hope to improve the level of their league and work hard from the youth training.
