Can the Chinese women's volleyball team cope with the double line test?, To complete the task of winning the gold medal at the Asian Games, we need to compete for tickets to the Paris Olympics
The A group competition of the Paris Olympic women's volleyball qualifying tournament recently kicked off, with the Chinese women's volleyball team defeating Ukraine and Mexico 3-0 in two consecutive victories. On the 19th, the third match of the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the Czech women's volleyball team.
At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Serbian women's volleyball team have won 2 matches and accumulated 6 points, respectively ranking first and second in the A group points table. According to the rules, the top two teams in each group can directly qualify for the Paris Olympics. The goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team is to get Olympic tickets as soon as possible.
The starting lineup for the first two matches of the Chinese women's volleyball team remains unchanged, with main attacking Li Yingying and Wang Yunlu, secondary attacking Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan, receiving Gong Xiangyu, and setters Diao Linyu and free agent Wang Mengjie. This is also a new starting lineup that head coach Cai Bin is focusing on building.
After two matches, substitute players such as Ding Xia, Zheng Yixin, Wu Mengjie, Ni Feifan, Zhong Hui, Gao Yi, Yang Hanyu, etc. have all put on their uniforms and played. While feeling the rhythm of the game, they also took the time to warm up for practical matches, preparing themselves to play at any time for future matches.
Although the outcome of the competition may not seem suspenseful, in fact, the problem of slow heat in the Chinese women's volleyball team still exists. By comparison, the Chinese women's volleyball team entered a slightly faster state in the second match, and the team's competitive state is also constantly adjusting and showing an upward trend.
When talking about the team's performance, Cai Bin believed that in the game against Ukraine, the team played relatively tightly, and the players felt nervous. Through adjustments, the Chinese team has a better overall rhythm control in the second game. "I hope that in the future games, the players will continue to play with this mentality."
Playing 7 games in 9 days, from the perspective of the schedule of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is easy first and then difficult. The advantage is that it can give the team sufficient adjustment time. The downside is that the last three opponents are the Dutch, Dominican, and Serbian women's volleyball teams, and each game is a tough one, which poses a great challenge to the players' physical and psychological abilities.
Faced with the weaker strength of the Mexican women's volleyball team, the Serbian women's volleyball team chose to hide four main players. Therefore, in the first few matches, it is necessary for the coaching staff to pay attention to how the Chinese women's volleyball team can reasonably allocate their physical fitness and avoid injuries.
The Chinese women's volleyball team is fighting for tickets to the Paris Olympics while also training for the Asian Games. The last qualifying match for the Paris Olympics for the Chinese women's volleyball team will take place on September 24th, and the team will then move from Ningbo Beilun to Hangzhou. The women's volleyball event of the Asian Games will start on September 30th and the gold medal will be determined on October 7th. For the Chinese women's volleyball team, the two important events are almost seamlessly connected.
Cai Bin previously stated in an interview that although his division of labor with the team members is different, everyone's goal is the same, which is to achieve good results in international competitions. "The goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Hangzhou Asian Games is to win a gold medal, which is certain."
The Olympic qualifying matches mainly face European and American opponents, while the Asian Games will compete against Asian teams. Due to the different styles and tactics of the two competitions, during the preparation period, the Chinese women's volleyball team pays special attention to physical fitness reserves, which also puts higher requirements on the girls.
In this year's World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved the best historical result of runner up, which boosted the team's confidence. This Chinese women's volleyball team is still in a difficult climbing stage, and Cai Bin hopes that the girls can inherit the glorious tradition of the Chinese women's volleyball team and carry forward the spirit of daring to fight and fight. "If everyone makes progress, this team can still move forward."
