Jiangsu women's volleyball team: Entering the final is a surprise but not a miracle

Volleyball starry sky, share volleyball information and happiness with you.

On the first day of the first year of 2022, the youth storm of Jiangsu Zhongtian Steel Women's Volleyball Swept through the decider of the semi-finals of the Volleyball Super League, and the Shanghai women's volleyball team, which had a four-year championship dream, won 3-0 like a melon and cut vegetables, and triumphantly played and advanced to the final circle. The academic hegemonic answer sheet they handed over to jiangdong's fathers and fellow villagers was almost no one dared to think about it before the game.

It is said that the Zhongtian Steel Women's Volleyball Team was injured last season due to the accidental injury of the main second setter Diao Linyu, and in the case of a good situation to win the championship, it lost the gold medal, and the gold medal defense battle of this year's National Games was blocked by the accidental injury of the main player Zhang Changning. After the National Games, all the strong teams of the women's volleyball team have made significant adjustments to open a new cycle as usual.

Of the several traditional strong teams, there are three teams whose adjustments are most notable. One is the Tianjin team, which uses the traditional public relations methods to recruit all kinds of ready-made superstars like a harvester. Their eyes are still only focused on the best and most practical stars, such as the super-first-class rising star Vargas who shined in the Turkish arena, the world-class superstar Yuan Xinyue and the top domestic attacker Liu Yanhan, and the goal of reinforcements can be achieved. Thus making the team the biggest hit of the unshakable platoon super in the "small mountain at a glance".

The other is the Shanghai team, the rich Shanghai women's volleyball team, after the dream of winning the three leagues was shattered, the hand of this league reinforcement was as big as that of Tianjin team. They also spare no expense, and foreign aid and domestic aid are both inclusive. The world's first attacker, The London Olympic MVP Jin Softjing and the current Captain of the U.S. Women's Volleyball Team, Tokyo Olympic MVP Larson, two world-class main attackers, were both opened to the Shanghai team twice, and at the same time, they also transferred the national hand Gao Yi and the rookie Wang Yindi to the team, vowing to compete with the Tianjin team.

The three branches are the unique Jiangsu Zhongtian Iron and Steel Team. Because Zhang Changning needed surgery to recuperate, after the main heart of the whole team was absent, they let Gong Xiangyu take up the burden of the captain; and with Wang Chenyue and other so-called veterans who were not old, for various reasons or retired or transferred, there was a big blood change. They selected a large number of rising stars from the youth team and even the junior team, enriched into a team as fresh blood, started from scratch, and trained and trained.

With such an adjustment, this women's volleyball team has become a young team that can no longer be immature. For such a team headed by dolls, the leader certainly does not and should not press the task to rank. Therefore, before the start of this league, this Jiangsu team of course could not enter the eyes of those expert authorities. At that time, people were talking about the teams that might be among the top four, and the relish was the Tianjin-Shanghai-Liaoning-Zhejiang-Guangdong-Min and the newly formed Shenzhen team, only the Jiangsu Zhongtian Iron and Steel Team was the most inconspicuous, and it was rare for anyone to think of or mention it.

At the beginning of the competition, as expected, the Jiangsu Zhongtian Iron and Steel Team, which was headed by the little devil, was shaved by the Liaoning team in the first battle, and the prospect of the platoon was bleak. Half of the members of the Zhongtian Iron and Steel Team were pulled up from the youth team or even the junior team, just like the eggs of the recruits in the army during the war, when they first went to the battlefield, as soon as the guns sounded, they would be frightened and dizzy, and they were completely abnormal in the first battle, and they were slaughtered by the opponent in a reasonable way.

However, this peculiar Zhongtian New Army, only one battle of abnormality, from the second game, like a waking lion, and like a veteran who has been in battle for a long time, the last five competitions in the first stage were like a broken bamboo, and one was not defeated. It also includes the Shanghai team, which has a high demand for a 3-0 light victory. At this time, many fans began to look at this Jiangsu new army. In the second stage of the round robin tournament, only one game was lost to the Tiannu team that "has a panoramic view of the mountains", thus throwing off the shandong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Shenzhen teams, and ranking into the final four with great vigor.

At this time, whether it is an expert authority or an enthusiastic majority of fans, they have to exclaim: great, great, half of the Zhongtian Steel Team plus half of the Doll Team, they reached the league's final four and created a miracle. In fact, the greater miracle in everyone's eyes is still to come. It is said that after entering the semi-finals, if the Zhongtian Iron and Steel Team wants to continue the highlight and shut the Shanghai team outside the gate of the final, people think that it is quite difficult. Many people even suspect that during the group stage, the reason why the Shanghai team lost to the Zhongtian Steel Team was quite accidental, and it may also be caused by the Shanghai team not making full efforts without affecting the ranking.

In the semi-finals, the Shanghai team, which has strong internal and external support, has long held its breath, and if it wants to compete with the Tianjin team for the crown with the bayonet in the final, how can it be willing to overturn the ship in the gutter in the semifinals? You see, after their first defeat in the semifinals, in the second game, led by 35-year-old Captain Larson of the United States, they fought back wildly, and finally performed a shocking reversal of the good play, narrowly defeating the milky Andryu Junior Army. After each win was evenly divided, the fans were worried about the Zhongtian Youth Army again.

Because in the starting lineup of the Zhongtian team, half of them are first-year freshmen of the league, even the captain Xiao Universe who is in danger, the main attacker Xiao Wuhan and the main free man Xiao Feifan, are only 20 years old, where can they withstand the calculation of the Shanghai team's long-standing Shanghai team aunt and aunt? However, the next ironclad facts have taught the fans: people cannot be disguised, and the sea is invincible. I didn't think that the Jiangsu team, a group of fledgling little characters, did not give the aunts and aunts half a chance in the last battle, and even three rounds were made to squeeze the Shanghai team out of the final circle, thus creating a bigger surprise and creating the biggest miracle in the eyes of the fans.

After watching the game, the old decay was fascinated, sleepless, and after much thought, he felt that they had created a surprise, which was certain; to say that they had created a miracle, I did not dare to agree. The reason why this youth army was able to play all the way to kai, break through more than a dozen levels in a row, reach the final, and create such a surprise is not accidental. What they created was not a miracle, but the fruits of the wisdom and sweat of the whole team; half of them were children, stepping into the threshold of the first team, and before their heels were stable, they rushed to the battlefield, but they could have such an amazing growth rate, which was also inseparable from the hard energy accumulation of Jiangsu volleyball players over the years.

Here's why:

First, the talent training strategy of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team has a unique path, a long history, and the results are very remarkable. They do not rely on the sky, do not rely on the ground, do not rely on the immortal emperor, do not rely on foreign aid and internal assistance, only rely on Jiangsu, a feng shui treasure land for educating people and down-to-earth self-reliance, the accumulation of talent initiatives, the construction of echelons is well connected, new people are stubble in an endless stream, and stars of hope continue to emerge.

Starting from Sun Jinfang and Zhang Jieyun of the old women's volleyball team, until zhao yun, Qiu Aihua, Sun Yue, Hui Ruoqi, Chen Zhan, Zhang Changning, Wang Chenyue, Diao Linyu, Gong Xiangyu, Wu Han, Ni Feifan, etc., the stars are brilliant, not only for the national team to send a large number of talents, but also to create the strong strength of the Jiangsu team itself, creating many good records.

In the past two years, there has been a surge of talents and rookies. This time to enrich the front-line team of Wu Mengjie, Zhou Pageong, Tang Xin, Wan Ziyue, Yang Jia, Zou Jiaqi and a large number of young generals, some are only sixteen or seventeen years old, don't look at their young age, because of the accurate selection of materials, coupled with the echelon training, they have a high volleyball talent and literacy early, in this year's National Games Competition, they are the backbone of the youth champion team. These little guys had just arrived at the adult group battlefield, and after Cai's guidance, they had a little bit of dialing and a few actual combat exercises, and some of them provoked the girder. The Zhongtian Steel Team relied on the charge of this group of unknown young players to reach the final.

Second, as the saying goes, Maxima is easy to get, Bole is difficult to find. The surprises created by Jiangsu Zhongtian team since the beginning of the tournament are closely related to the wisdom and unremitting efforts of coach Cai Bin. I am convinced that this point may have been accepted by the vast number of knowledgeable fans. Cai Bin, known as "Little Zhuge Ge", has been teaching in Suzhou for 11 years, whether it is the concept of talent training, or planning, or on-the-spot guidance, it has its own unique features. His contributions to the Jiangsu women's volleyball team have been seen for all to see, and there is no need to repeat them. It can even be said that in terms of coaching ability, among all the current echelon coaches of the domestic women's volleyball team, there are very few who can stand out from the right.

To be able to play under such a high level of coaching staff, it is strange not to improve. Looking at Xiao Wuhan's highlight performance since this league, it can be seen. Xiao Wuhan's height is innately insufficient, but she plays with passion, and the front row attacks every time she rushes and jumps with all her strength, never slacking off. But the difficulty that she could not crack for a long time was that the effort of the next three roads was too lacking. Because she is unable to protect herself at the first pass, it has always been a problem for her to play the main attack. But in this league, Xiao Wuhan's next three kung fu suddenly hardened, there were several games, and her pass success rate was the highest in the team. Fans said bluntly: her next three-way kung fu was forced out by Cai Dao. There is some truth to this. Today, this group of small players of the Zhongtian Steel Team can create so many surprises in one season, which is absolutely inseparable from Cai Dao's careful teaching.

Third, three semi-finals, The Two Victories of the Zhongtian Team over the Shanghai Team also have their inevitability. Before this, this highly intelligent Jiangsu Youth Army, through Cai Dao's meticulous training and the tempering of more than ten battles in two stages, the young generals were no longer young students who would cry their noses as soon as they won. In Gong Xiangyu's words, they are fighting and forgetting. In fact, the foreign voice I understand is to play a game further.

In the first game of the semi-finals, although the little girls faced such a key game for the first time, the whole team was not afraid of the stage at all, really like a group of steel warriors, first withstood the shanghai team's world-class attacker Jin Softjing led by the indiscriminate bombardment, and then with another world-class attacker Larson's smear hanging hanging and twisting of the changeable tricky and strange attack than wisdom than cleverness. The three cannons of the Zhongtian team, with the cooperation of the third position, fired at full force, and finally won the first victory.

After taking the top spot in the semifinals, in the second game, two more consecutive cities were played. However, in the final moments when winning one more set would knock on the door of the final, the mentality of the youngsters changed and they were a bit eager to succeed. A change of mentality, the frequent unprovoked mistakes immediately, coupled with the lack of height, Xiao Wuhan had to send his full strength every time he took off, and then he was more and more powerless to play, which was only won by the opponent for three consecutive rounds and lost the opportunity to win completely. Speaking of which, this is not surprising at all. Not to mention that this team is less than two weeks old, that is, the Zhongtian team, which originally had superstars such as Hui Ruoqi Zhang Changning and Chen Zhan, also had the lesson of winning two sets in the final with Tianjin in 2016 and being reversed.

Competitive sports events have reached the semi-final and final stages, and the importance of technical tactics has been replaced by whether the mentality is stable or not. Whoever has a stable mentality will have a bigger chance of winning. In volleyball competitions, such examples are easy to pick up. Ever remembered? In the finale of the 1981 World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Japanese team faced each other, after we won two consecutive rounds of world champions, the girls were ecstatic, hugged each other, celebrated the victory, but the mood could not calm down, was pulled by the Japanese team twice, if it were not for Coach Yuan Weimin to save in time, it would almost hit the road of little Japan.

At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the golden generation of the Chinese women's volleyball team led by Chen Zhonghe was first cut by the Russian team for two sets and then won the championship by winning three consecutive games? Therefore, the lesson of the second semi-final of the Zhongtian Youth Army being overturned is a very good thing. Young generals are to grow up fast under the tests of good times and bad times. I admire these young generals because they have big hearts. No, the first day was reversed by the opponent, suffered a dumb loss, woke up, and as if nothing had happened, confidently threw himself into the third round of life and death battle.

This last round is even more of a psychological battle. Facts have proved that the soldiers of the Shanghai team are carrying a heavy ideological burden of wanting to win and afraid of losing. First of all, coach Wang Zhiteng's scheduling is not square. After winning a narrow five-game battle with Larson on the first day, Jin Softjing should have led the battle the next day. After all, Larson is a 35-year-old veteran, and it is difficult to recover from physical strength to energy after fighting five innings the night before, but Wang Shi did the opposite, still letting Aunt La wear a fight. After the start of the match, it was clear that Larson was far from the sharpness of the previous night. The entire Shanghai team is also weak offensively, with many defensive omissions, and the score has been lagging behind.

I believe that it is not that the players of the Shanghai team do not want to play well, but that they lack the spirit of fighting. On the contrary, the Jiangsu young players did not have any pressure, and the players on the field were united, coordinated and orderly, and played in a very orderly manner. Especially after winning two consecutive sets, the third set was still not impatient, there were boards and eyes, did not give the Shanghai team any chance to turn over, and finally ended the semi-final tour of three matches and two wins with a disparity of 25:16. At this point, Jiangsu Zhongtian Iron and Steel Team has held the silver medal of this league and completed the task of the competition with excellent results at a super level. As for the final with Tianjin, the Jiangsu team only needs to seize this opportunity and respectfully learn from others. How did this Tianjin team come to be born, that is, the booking champion team with super internal and external support "a panoramic view of the mountains", how can you shake this doll zhongtian team?
