The Shandong women's volleyball team originally had the opportunity to advance to the final four of this league, but with the emergence of the new format, their promotion is only theoretical. Many fans are complaining that the format modification hurts the Shenzhen team the most, so that they do not qualify for the top six, but the damage to the Shandong women's volleyball team is not small.
According to the current point ranking, the Shandong women's volleyball team is only fifth with 22 points, 4 points behind Liaoning, which ranks fourth, in terms of the number of wins, Shandong has 7 wins and 3 losses, and Liaoning is 9 wins and 1 loss. The reason why this situation occurs is because the Volleyball Association brought all the points of the first stage into the second stage, and it was only after the Shandong women's volleyball competition that the format was modified.
This caused the 2 games lost by the Shandong women's volleyball team in the first stage to be counted in the points, and if the top six were calculated in the original way, Shandong only needed to get 1 round to enter the final. Therefore, in the match against Fujian, Shandong began to relax after getting 1 set, causing the fifth set to be reversed. If the Volleyball Association explained in advance that if the system is changed, Shandong should be able to fight hard to win this victory.
Now Shandong has only 7 wins, Liaoning has 9 games, if you win Fujian, the win gap between the two teams is only 1, or very good to catch up. At present, the Shandong women's volleyball team and the Liaoning women's volleyball team have only 3 balls left, and if Shandong wants to advance to the final four, it must win all 3 games, as long as it loses one game, it will be out of the top four. Even if you win, you still need to look at the faces of other opponents.
In terms of the strength of the opponents in the last three rounds, the 3 teams played by the Shandong women's volleyball team are very strong, namely Shanghai, Jiangsu and Liaoning, and it is quite difficult for Shandong to win 3 games and surpass Liaoning. And Shandong and Liaoning will stage a direct confrontation in the thirteenth round, and both teams will definitely want to beat their opponents. On the other hand, Liaoning, even if they lose to Shandong, they can only defeat the Guangdong women's volleyball team to eliminate Shandong by virtue of their innings advantage.
It can be said that the situation of the top four of the Shandong women's volleyball team hangs on the line. Although it is more difficult, the team still needs to fight with the belief of victory, and maybe a miracle will happen. The last 3 games of the Shandong women's volleyball team actually have the hope of upsetting, but their biggest problem is instability, they can win when they encounter strong teams, and they may lose when they encounter weak teams. The author believes that the Shandong women's volleyball team needs to do the following points.
The first point is the rational use of Du Qingqing and Sun Jie. At the beginning of the second stage, the Shandong women's volleyball team changed its playing style, Du Qingqing became the main attacker, and Sun Jie served as the starting receiver, the advantage of this play was to increase the attack of the right wing, but the weakness was that Sun Jie's defensive loopholes were magnified. There is no problem with Sun Jie in the starting, but if you encounter the situation that Sun Jie does not play, I hope that Shandong can adjust as soon as possible, let Du Qingqing go to the reception, and Song Meili plays the main attack. Anyway, Song Meili and Sun Jie are both strong and weak players, so this adjustment is only a change in the attack point, and will not affect the overall framework.
The second point is to play more back-flying tactics. In the second stage of the game, the Shandong women's volleyball team deliberately added the back ball of the secondary attack, which is very correct. In the women's volleyball game, back flying is still a very reliable means of scoring, so the team should use back flying to break through. The third is to restore Wang Mengjie to her state as much as possible. Judging from the choice of two free people, If Wang Mengjie is in an ideal state, she is still stronger than Song Xinyu, and now the team should let Wang Mengjie actively recover and strive to play in the third stage.
