Soon, the women's volleyball adult group of the National Games is about to start, and the teams that break into the final circle are actively preparing. However, this National Games is the curtain battle of many veterans, of which 8 players are facing retirement, namely Shanghai women's volleyball team Zhang Lei, Jiangsu women's volleyball team Wang Chenyue, Liaoning women's volleyball team Yan Ni, and Zhejiang women's volleyball team Li Jing, Wang Na, Wang Huimin 3.
Zhang Lei is a former national player of the Chinese women's volleyball team and participated in the London Olympic Games. But just in time for the trough of the Chinese women's volleyball team, zhang Lei's career did not achieve excellent results. As a veteran over 30 years old, Zhang Lei's personal strength has declined significantly, and the Shanghai women's volleyball team will introduce foreign aid every season, just to make up for the lack of the No. 2 position. However, in the domestic competition, Zhang Lei is still the main player of the Shanghai women's volleyball team, this age can still insist on playing, the professionalism is worthy of praise, but the possibility of participating in the next National Games is almost zero.
The reason why Wang Chenyue will be listed as a team member who is about to retire is mainly because a document was published inside Jiangsu, and the name of Wang Chenyue was included in the placement of retired athletes. However, Wang Chenyue is still the main secondary attack of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team at this National Games, and works with Zhou Xinyi and Yang Junjing to achieve the defense of the title. The biggest regret of Wang Chenyue's career is undoubtedly that he did not have a chance with the national team and did not become a real national player. The Jiangsu women's volleyball team, which has obvious loopholes in the secondary offensive line, still needs Wang Chenyue's persistence.
Yan Ni is determined to retire after the National Games. As early as the preliminary round of the National Games, Yan Ni publicly said that she would retire. Yan Ni, who suffered a serious shoulder injury, participated in the Tokyo Olympics at the age of 34. Even if the Chinese women's volleyball team fails to defend its title, Yan Ni's contribution to the Chinese women's volleyball team is obvious to all. And Yan Ni's ability to block the net is worth learning from other young player teammates, this time can help Liaoning to compete in the National Games, at least so that the Liaoning women's volleyball team can suppress the opponent in the front row. Hu Mingyuan can also partner with the secondary offensive line, and the strength of the Liaoning women's volleyball vice offensive line cannot be underestimated.
The Zhejiang women's volleyball team is the team with the largest number of retired players, ushering in a tide of alternating between the old and the new. Since the injury, Li Jing's dominance in the No. 4 position has declined, and she has even missed the league many times, and it is fortunate to be able to catch up with the National Games. And Li Jing's help to the Zhejiang women's volleyball team is limited, and there is no need to continue to stay in the team after the National Games, and it is natural to retire. Wang Na and Wang Huimin and Li Jing are similar in the situation, they are all veterans over 30 years old, not to mention that Wang Na's captainship has been handed over, and she has long hinted at retirement.
This group of veterans has taken the National Games as an ending battle, and the Zhejiang women's volleyball team has also begun to cultivate young players such as Shi Yu. Since retirement is an inevitable thing, then enjoy the final time of the game and impact the good results for the Zhejiang women's volleyball team at the National Games. It's just that the strength of Jinsu is outstanding, and the possibility of the Zhejiang women's volleyball team standing on the podium is very small.
