At the beginning of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Japanese head coach Kumi Nakata once promoted a Chinese deputy attacker, she is 188cm tall Matsumoto Yamihua, a female volleyball player from Beijing, formerly known as Wang Yachen, but because it can not integrate into the technical and tactical characteristics of the Japanese women's volleyball team, after the 2017 World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix, the Japanese national team has no such person. In fact, as early as the Beijing Olympic cycle, there are Chinese women will join the Japanese women's volleyball team, she is Wang Jiao from Liaoning, more fortunately, participated in the 2006 World Championships, and Matsumoto Yamihua did not participate in any of the three major competitions!
Wang Jiao was born in Fushun, Liaoning province when she was a child, and was first trained in athletics in the Liaoning team, and then because her grandmother was unattended in Japan, her family moved to Japan. Wang Jiao, who is 182cm tall, went to Japan, changed her name to Shuka Oyama, was favored by the volleyball coach, directly changed to volleyball, and later joined the Kumitsu Pharmaceutical Club and became a professional volleyball player. Because he was a professional high jumper, Shoka Koyama was particularly outstanding in bouncing, and soon entered the Japanese women's volleyball national team.
In 2006, Shuka Oyama ushered in the debut of the Japanese national team, she appeared in the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix, and appeared in the competition with the Chinese women's volleyball team, but the height is not enough, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the Chinese women's volleyball team, after all, the breakthrough power is limited, either blocked, or defended to fight back.
The Japanese women's volleyball team at that time in the side attacker, the best technology is Kimura Saori, she is indispensable at both ends of the attack and defense, is the main receiver of a pass, and the height of 185cm is also relatively tall inside the side attacker. In addition, the two main attackers, Kei Kurihara and Kana Oyama, also have a certain breakthrough ability at the offensive end. Miyuki Takahashi, who is only 175cm, is also offensive and defensive, and has an advantage in speed. Therefore, even if Shuka Koyama entered the Japanese women's volleyball national team, he did not play the main force and has been hovering on the edge of the bench.
2006 World Women's Volleyball Championship is the only competition that Shuka Koyama participated in, due to the competition held in Japan, often the host Japan women's volleyball team will have the advantage in the group, but the group stage is inferior to Taipei, directly lost the initiative of the top 4, and finally in the rematch Serbia and Italy squeezed out Japan to advance to the semifinals, the Japanese women's volleyball team only won the qualification for five or six places, and was also played by the Chinese women's volleyball team a 3-0, ending the World Championship journey with 6th place.
As the normal Koyama Shuka moved towards the Beijing Olympic Games, she was abandoned, and with the return of Kurihara Kei from injury, The more mature Kimura Saori, coupled with Miyuki Takahashi's strong play, the prototype of the side attack trident began to appear, and Koyama Shuka missed the 2007 World Cup and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and finally faded out of the Japanese national team.
