The new season of the Volleyball Super League will start this month, and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, as the runner-up of the previous league, is also actively preparing for the competition. Many fans are expecting that the Jiangsu women's volleyball team can block Tianjin from winning the championship, and even Tianjin coach Wang Baoquan also said that Jiangsu is the main opponent on the road to defending the title. So, how will the performance of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in the new season be?
The author believes that the results of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in the new season will not be too good, the chances of rushing to the championship are slim, and it is quite difficult to enter the top four. For now, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team will carry out a major change of blood in the secondary offensive position in the new season, Wang Chenyue, Yang Junjing and Jiang Qianwen retired, and Wei Yuxin transferred to Shenzhen, leaving only Zhou Xinyi alone.
Although Zhou Xinyi is the main secondary attack of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, she has only played the main force for 2 years, so whether it is competition experience or technical mastery, there is a big gap with the previous 3 veterans. In addition, Zhou Xinyi's height conditions are not very good, only 187cm, at the National Games, we can see that Zhou Xinyi's net in the front row is not powerful, in the face of tall players, there will always be destructive nets, so that the back row players are at a loss.
The team members who succeed Wang Chenyue are not yet officially determined by the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, but the two youth team deputy attacks have not yet completely taken over the strength. Wan Ziyue's height conditions are good, but in addition to her good height conditions, she is very mediocre in other aspects. On the net, Wan Ziyue could only rely on her height to bully the slower team, and when she encountered a faster team, she exposed her clumsy weakness. Offensively, Wan Ziyue's strength is small, and the slam ball is often undead.
Another deputy attacker, Yang Jia, was a little stronger than Wan Ziyue, but unfortunately, his height of 191cm was still short in terms of secondary attack position. And Yang Jia's blocking net and attack are only stronger than the secondary attack of the same age, but after reaching the adult team, she needs to face an attack that is several times stronger than the youth team. This weakness of the secondary attack is not completely filled in a moment and a half, and this loophole will always accompany the Jiangsu women's volleyball team until the young deputy attack grows.
Looking back at the league results of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in recent years, we can find a rule, that is, as long as their secondary offensive line becomes stronger, they can advance to the top four, and vice versa, they will fall out of the top four. Remember that Zhou Xinyi just played the league that season, the team was lame because of the vice attack, so it was squeezed out of the top four by the Evergrande women's volleyball team. As far as the current strength of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team is concerned, it is still quite difficult to beat Tianjin and Shanghai to advance to the final.
As for the top four, the main opponents competing with the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in the top four are Shandong and Liaoning. The Shandong women's volleyball team will definitely recall Wang Mengjie and Yang Hanyu in the league, plus there are also Players such as Du Qingqing and Qian Jingwen in the team, so it should have the upper hand when it meets the new Jiangsu women's volleyball team; the Liaoning women's volleyball team will put Duan Back to the main offensive position, Ding Xia will also return, Hu Mingyuan will also play, and the strength will be upgraded by one notch compared to the championship.
The key to whether the Jiangsu women's volleyball team can defeat Shandong or Liaoning in the new season lies in whether Zhang Changning competes in the league. Zhang Changning is the core of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, she not only needs to be responsible for a lot of offense, but also needs to be responsible for a pass and defense, especially her defensive area is larger than the free man. If Zhang Changning chooses to truce, then the Jiangsu women's volleyball team will face difficulties, who will pick up the pass in the end, and whether Wu Mengjie or Zhou Pageong, who replaced Zhang Changning, can break through the opponent's high net.
Perhaps some fans will expect Gong Xiangyu to stand up and share the pressure, but as far as Gong Xiangyu's offensive status in these seasons is concerned, she can only add icing on the cake and cannot send charcoal in the snow. Zhang Changning's strong attack is still an indispensable part of Jiangsu. It can be said that Zhang Changning does not play, then the performance of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team will decline, and it is a very pragmatic goal to protect the fourth and second.
