At 18 o'clock on June 20, the substitute lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the Japanese women's volleyball team in Bangkok, Thailand. This is the quarterfinals of the 2024 Women's Volleyball World League Finals, with the winner advancing to the semifinals and the loser going home.
The Chinese women's volleyball team is led by Yuan Zhi to participate in the competition, and his technical and tactical system should continue Cai Bin's style of play. If nothing else, the starting lineup sent by Yuan Zhi will be, the second setter Ding Xia, the second setter Zheng Yixin, the main attack Zhang Changning, Wang Yunrui, the secondary attack Gao Yi, Wang Wenhan, and the free man Ni Feifei.
There are still a lot of highlights in this lineup, how much success Ding Xia still has, and whether she can play in the Olympics, the answer will be given after this game. Can Ni Feifei receive a pass? Zheng Yixin faces the defense of the Japanese women's volleyball team, whether she can score, and whether Wang Yunrui can participate in the Paris Olympics, this game is also the ultimate test!
The advantage of this lineup is that it has a lot of experience. Ding Xia and Zhang Changning are both Olympic champions, and Wang Yunrui has also played in the national team for two seasons.
The disadvantage is that they are older and lack physical fitness, and Zheng Yixin and Wang Yunrui's attack power is weak.
The Chinese women's volleyball team also has a starting lineup, which is full of impact, fast speed, and more balanced offense and defense.
The second setter Xu Xiaoting, Wang Yizhu, the main attack Zhang Changning, Zhuang Yushan, the secondary attack Gao Yi, Zheng Yixin, and the free man Ni Feifei.
This lineup has outstanding ability to receive strong attacks, steady main attacks, delicate defensive tandem, and good attack power. The secondary attack II-VI Zheng Yixin is fast and stops in time, and can keep up with Japan's fast play.
This lineup is a little unfamiliar and radical for the Chinese women's volleyball team, I don't know if fans and friends like it or not?
From the perspective of Cai Bin and the Volleyball Association, the important function of the finals is to select substitutes for the Olympic Games, and the results are irrelevant, otherwise the substitute lineup will not be sent to participate.
But for the players and the fans in general, winning is the only answer! The players want to prove themselves, and the fans hope that the Chinese women's volleyball team will beat Japan and avenge the defeat in Macau.
Which of the two starting lineups of the Chinese women's volleyball team do you prefer?
