As we all know, the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is less than one month away, and the major Olympic delegations have also entered the final sprint stage. As a big gold medalist, the Chinese team also held a closed training camp early to make all-round preparations for the Olympic Games. Among them, the Chinese women's volleyball team is no exception, and head coach Cai Bin took 8 apprentices to train at the Zhangzhou base as soon as the World League sub-station ended. In order to complete the run-in of the lineup as soon as possible, Cai Bin also took great pains to cultivate the tacit understanding between Zhu Ting and Diao Linyu as much as possible, so as to avoid repeated mismatches during the World League. After all, Zhu Ting has only returned to the team not long ago, and she has not adapted to the rhythm of the team so quickly, so she really needs time to integrate into the big team.
After half a month of running-in, the problem of Zhu Ting and Diao Linyu's transfer was indeed well solved, and Zhu Ting also took the time to return to Beijing Normal University to participate in the graduation ceremony. I believe that in a few days, Zhu Ting will return to the Zhangzhou base to devote herself to training, and the team still has many problems to be solved. However, while the training camp continued, the Olympic list of the Chinese women's volleyball team has not yet been determined, and although the team has reported a 14-man squad, 2 people still have to be eliminated. According to the latest format of the Olympic Games, even if you count one P card slot, you can only bring 13 people, which means that one more person will not be able to make the Olympics, who is most likely to be on the final list?
Strictly speaking, every player in the Chinese women's volleyball team is very good, but competitive sports are so cruel. Many fans are still sympathetic to Wang Yunrui's exit, but they don't know that the departure of Yang Hanyu and Xu Xiaoting is also helpless. After all, every player's dream is to appear on the stage of international competitions, but now they are suddenly rejected at a critical juncture, which is really not a taste in their hearts. In terms of the current situation, it is really difficult to make a choice, except for the 7 fairies in the main frame, other players may be out of the whistle. Especially the old problem of the receiving position, Cai Bin must be best solved, only Gong Xiangyu in the team can play a stable reception, and the one-pass defense can be stabilized.
Zheng Yixin, who has only changed to play in the past two years, lacks a little heat after all, and her performance in the World League finals is really unbearable. Not only can he not catch a pass, but the offensive end is rare and inefficient, Zheng Yixin is completely restricted by the Japanese women's volleyball team, and this state is obviously a thunder in the Olympic arena. For this reason, for many reasons, the possibility of bringing Zheng Yixin is very small, Cai Bin may bring 5 main attackers for the first time, increasing the number of receiving places to the main attacking position, so as to change the status quo of weak response.
On the one hand, Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, and Li Yingying have all had the experience of changing the response, and the results are relatively good. On the other hand, it is the ideal choice to bring the main attack to the receiving position when necessary, and to have a surprising winning effect. Therefore, among the current 6 main attackers, there may only be one person out of the game, with a lineup of 5 main attackers and 1 receiver, but in fact, one person is also the receiver position to achieve the best offensive and defensive effect. It is conceivable that Cai Bin left 6 main attackers to participate in the training camp, probably for the last change of formation, and Zheng Yixin is quite likely to miss the Olympic Games.
Of course, in addition to Zheng Yixin, Wang Mengjie's stand-in Ni Feifei was the first to go out, and Cai Bin only considered bringing a free man after all to continue the traditional lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team. But the two positions of main attack and response are undoubtedly the biggest variables in the Olympic list of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it depends on how Cai Bin will make a choice, and I look forward to him leading the Chinese women's volleyball team to achieve better results! Come on!
