While the team was adjusting its lineup and testing the results of the training, it also exposed many problems, especially in the second and third weeks when facing strong opponents, the shortcomings of the Chinese women's volleyball team were exposed.
On the one hand, the main team members engaged in continuous combat and experienced fluctuations in their competitive state; On the other hand, the unchanging lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team is more easily studied by opponents. In addition, coach Cai Bin's deployment of troops and on-site command have also been questioned by fans.
In the group stage, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost successively to Serbia and the Dominican Republic. Especially in the match against the Dominican Republic, the opponent made a mistake and scored up to 32 points, but the Chinese team still lost the game. It is worth mentioning that both teams are opponents in the same group as the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Paris Olympic qualifiers this year.
