Can the Chinese women's volleyball team smoothly advance to the finals?, Facing the consecutive challenges of world and Olympic champions, Serbia women's volleyball team | women's volleyball team | challenge
On June 28th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team will compete in the third week of the World Women's Volleyball League at the Suwon Station in South Korea. They will compete against world champion Serbia, Dominican, South Korean, and Tokyo Olympic champion US women's volleyball teams, making their final push to advance to the finals.
The finals will be held in Arlington, USA from July 13th to 17th. Except for the host United States team, the other seven teams that have the best points in the pit stops will qualify for the finals. The Chinese women's volleyball team has achieved 6 wins and 2 losses with a total of 18 points, currently ranking 4th on the points table. In theory, the Chinese women's volleyball team can advance to the finals by winning two more games. It is difficult to fully grasp the Chinese women's volleyball match against Serbia and the United States, so it is necessary to ensure victory over the Dominican and South Korean women's volleyball teams.
In the previous race at Hong Kong, China, the Chinese women's volleyball team suffered two consecutive losses to Poland and Italy. It was a pity to lose the game against the Italian team, as the Chinese team was overturned by the opponent after leading twice by a large margin.
Chinese women's volleyball head coach Cai Bin concluded that the two defeats exposed the team's lack of ability to handle and grasp key points. "We have opportunities in both games, but we didn't play decisively enough, so we need to have more means in key points and continue to improve in defense."
Since its establishment last year, this Chinese women's volleyball team has lacked competition tests and its lineup has been constantly improving. During this process, the team encountered ups and downs in their form, which Cai Bin believed were normal.
According to the list of 14 contestants submitted by the Chinese women's volleyball team at Suwon Station, there has been no change from the previous two stations, and it is currently the strongest lineup that can be sent out. Cai Bin stated that the team will strive for every game and strive to minimize fluctuations and fluctuations while further improving their proficiency in coordination.
As the intensity of the competition increases, personnel injuries are inevitable. Cai Bin stated that in the upcoming games, while stabilizing the starting lineup, he will also tap into the potential of substitutes.
In the first round of the competition, the Serbian women's volleyball team did not send out a starting lineup and achieved an embarrassing result of four consecutive losses. In the second round of the competition, the Serbian women's volleyball team rebounded, losing only one game to the Brazilian women's volleyball team, and winning all three other matches. At present, the total score of the Serbian women's volleyball team is 3 wins and 5 losses, ranking 9th. If they want to enter the finals, they cannot afford to lose at Suwon Station.
In the Suwon Station match, the Serbian women's volleyball team recalled the team's top scorer Boskovic and the 38 year old veteran setter Oderinovic. Serbian women's volleyball head coach Gudetti said, "Apart from the results, I have seen the team's progress. Although the chance of the Serbian women's volleyball team reaching the finals is very small, the team will still strive to win every game."
The first match was a tough one, and Cai Bin admitted that regardless of whether the opponent played their main role or not, the Chinese women's volleyball team still relied on me and made careful preparations before the competition. "This is also a rare opportunity for exercise. We need to discover our own shortcomings and strengths through competitions, and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses."
On the points table, the Dominican team has accumulated 7 points with 3 wins and 5 losses, temporarily ranking 11th. In recent years, the Chinese women's volleyball team has maintained a record of complete victories against them, but they cannot be easily defeated by the North American powerhouse that is striving for a spot in the finals.
As the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympics, the South Korean women's volleyball team has won 0 games and accumulated 0 points since the start of the competition, and has been eliminated early. In the match against the South Korean women's volleyball team, the goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team is to score all 3 points.
The match against the world's top ranked American women's volleyball team is the final leg of the Chinese women's volleyball team's World League tournament. The US women's volleyball team has a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, accumulating 19 points and temporarily ranking second on the points table. Last week, the US women's volleyball team released a list of 14 players at Suwon Station in South Korea. Except for the non return of secondary attacker Ogbogu, several key players including Robinson, Plummer, Washington, Thompson, and Olantes Wong were all included in the list. The United States team, with all their main players, will also be the touchstone for testing the Chinese women's volleyball lineup.
