Analysis of the women's volleyball team at the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team was "drawn" on the lottery
All 12 teams of the women's volleyball team at the Paris Olympics were produced, and the 12 participating teams were divided into 3 groups, with the top 2 teams in each group and the 2 best 3rd places entering the quarterfinals.
The 12 participating teams are divided into 4 pots, with 3 teams in each bracket, and the host France is naturally in the first pot, and the Chinese team, which was originally ranked 6th, was squeezed into the 7th pick and is in the third pot.
Pot 1: France (Group A), Brazil (Group B), Italy (Group C)
Second gear: Turkey, Poland, USA
Tier 3: China, Japan, Netherlands
Pot 4: Serbia, Dominica, Kenya
According to the principle that the group is most beneficial to the host, France prefers Kenya in the fourth gear, and Turkey and the United States cannot afford to provoke in the second block, so Poland will definitely be chosen. The third-grade Japan is a kraft candy that can't take advantage of it, and the Netherlands can't take advantage of it, so it is naturally China that chooses to be "easy to bully".
Group A: France, Poland, China, Kenya;
Group B: Brazil, Turkey, Netherlands, Serbia;
Group C: Italy, United States, Japan, Dominica.
Even if France loses to Poland and China in the group stage, they will be able to qualify for the third place with the best group results.
The Chinese team of the Rio Olympics is divided into Group B of the Group of Death, which includes the United States women's volleyball team, Serbia women's volleyball team, Italy women's volleyball team, Netherlands women's volleyball team and Puerto Rico women's volleyball team. The host country, Brazil, picks the soft persimmon and is in Group A with Russia, Japan, South Korea, Argentina and Cameroon. As a result, in the 1/4 game, the top four teams in Group B wiped out the top four in Group A, and the Chinese women's volleyball team taught the Brazilian women's volleyball team a lesson.
The Chinese team in the Tokyo Olympics is divided into Group B of the Group of Death, Group A: Japan, Serbia, Brazil, South Korea, Dominica, and Kenya; Group B: China, USA, Russia, Italy, Argentina, Turkey. It is not difficult to see that because the grouping is too favorable to the host, the Chinese team was squeezed out of the rematch.
During the Rio Olympics and Tokyo Olympics cycles, the Chinese team is recognized as a strong team, and the host is afraid and unwilling to be in a group with the Chinese team. The Paris Olympics is different, the Chinese team is recognized as a "soft persimmon", and both strong and weak teams want to take advantage of the Chinese team, which must be a group with the host.
The Chinese team drew the "upper sign".
