On the evening of June 20, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 0:3 to the Japanese team in the quarter-finals of the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League Finals, with the scores of 21:25, 21:25, and 22:25 in the three games, although the defeat was still glorious, thus ending all the games of the season.
The finals of this World League were held in Thailand, and the Chinese women's volleyball team sent a substitute lineup to play, coached by Yuan Zhi, and the main players Li Yingying and Wang Yuanyuan did not participate in the finals.
The opponent of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the quarter-finals is the Japanese team. The starting lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team, main attack: Zhang Changning, Zhuang Yushan, secondary attack: Gao Yi, Yang Hanyu, second setter: Ding Xia, response: Zheng Yixin, free man: Ni Feifei, although the girls of the women's volleyball team tried their best, they finally lost to the Japanese team 0:3. The main disadvantages of losing the game are as follows:
Head coach Yuan Zhi's command was abnormal: At the beginning of the first game, the Chinese women's volleyball team still did not pass the old problem in place, the psychological pressure was high, the tactics were monotonous, the offense was blocked, and the free man Ni Feifei and Zheng Yixin were targeted by the Japanese team. These obvious problems, Director Yuan was aware of them, did not adjust the lineup in time, and only symbolically replaced Wang Yunrui at 23:19 in the first and second games.
The veteran Zhang Changning is not in the state: there are too few points for smashing the ball in the third game, there are too many mistakes, the drop ball is not scored, there is no mental state on the feeling, the smash is too gentle, and the drop ball feels bad, which is a big difference compared to the smash speed and determination of the teenager Zhuang Yushan. Especially in the third game, there was emotional tension, as a veteran, the success rate of smashing the ball was less than 30%, and he did not play as efficiently as he should.
Veteran Ding Xia's offensive organization is monotonous: the two main attackers on the court, Zhang Changning and Zhuang Yushan, after playing the first game, Ding Xia should know the state of the main attack, and give Zhang Changning's No. 4 side attack too much when distributing the ball. The reason why the score kept leading in the second game was because the secondary attack Gao Yi and Yang Hanyu played well with the fast body and back flyball, but they did not stick to it. The setter Ding Xia's organization was hot-headed, the distribution of the ball was inflexible, and was reversed by the Japanese team in the second game.
There were too many mistakes in the whole team: one pass was wrong, one pass was not in place, the simple defensive ball was not well protected by each other, and only one mistake in the three games was given to the Japanese team by as many as 15 points. The reason for too many mistakes is nervousness, lack of concentration, and not in the game state, and it is logical to lose.
The only thing that is gratifying is that the main attack Zhuang Yushan dares to fight, the secondary attack Gao Yi and Yang Hanyu play well, and the whole team blocks the net well. From the perspective of supporting the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is not deliberately said that the women's volleyball coaches and players are bad, but just for exchanges and discussions. I believe that Coach Yuan and the players will also seriously summarize this game, find out the shortcomings, strengthen the shortcomings, and unite to achieve good results in the Olympic Games. Do you think Zhang Changning and Ding Xia can go to the Olympics with the Chinese women's volleyball team?
