The Chinese women's volleyball team announced the list of participants in the Paris Olympics on June 29, and Zhu Ting, Li Yingying, Yuan Xinyue and other celebrities were all selected, while Wang Yunrui failed to get the opportunity. In fact, Wang Yunrui's defeat was already known many days ago, and he had already left the Zhangzhou Training Center, so fans knew that Wang Yunrui would not appear on the list in this issue. expressed regret for Wang Yunrui's defeat, but the main problem of the defeat lies in himself, the offense has never grown, and Cai Bin, who is good at attacking but not good at defense, is difficult to tolerate.
Wang Yunrui is now 28 years old, and missing the 2024 Paris Olympics basically means that his career will not be able to participate in the Olympics. In this Olympic cycle, Wang Yunrui was originally a descendant of Cai Bin's coaching staff, and he had a good performance in 2023. Of course, Wang Yunrui's performance mainly lies in the stability of a pass, and there is no progress on the offensive end. In the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League, Wang Yunrui's one-pass performance is passable, but the offense not only does not grow, but even has a feeling of regression, and there is always a lack of discipline.
Since Cai Bin took charge of the women's volleyball team for the second time, its biggest feature is that the offense is diversified, and there are offensive requirements for multiple points to share the pressure of Li Yingying's core offensive points. Looking back on the past, since Wang Yunrui became the descendant of Cai Bin's coaching staff, there have always been few bright spots in his offensive performance, especially against strong teams, which has always been criticized, and his ability to judge the ball is limited. Because of this, Wang Yunrui's smash attack always seems to be relatively tense, the ball is difficult to describe, and the offensive efficiency is not high.
Wang Yunrui's offensive efficiency cannot be improved, and there is one less link in the offensive system required by Cai Bin's guidance, which will compress the overall offensive level of the team. The Chinese women's volleyball team's lineup itself is heavy on offense and light on defense, and the key to winning is to impact the opponent with offense. It doesn't seem to be much of a difference if you only receive one pass, and the number of places in the Olympics is smaller than in other events, so it makes sense to be abandoned.
The situation in the past 2022 and 2023 is different, because Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning have their own factors to miss the national team. If Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning were in the formation at that time, it would be difficult for Wang Yunrui to get the main position. With the return of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning this year, Wang Yunrui's position has been squeezed, and Wu Mengjie's growth has also squeezed Wang Yunrui's position.
Although Wu Mengjie's pass is not stable enough, there are Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning who can rotate, and the pass of these two veterans is passed, so Wang Yunrui is no longer an indispensable player. On the offensive side, Wu Mengjie's performance is indeed better than Wang Yunrui's, especially the key ball dare to play is very important. On the whole, in terms of the number of offensive paths of this lineup, it is relatively more reasonable to choose Wu Mengjie.
Wang Yunrui has worked hard for the Chinese women's volleyball team in the past two years, but her own offensive shortcomings have never been able to make up, and her shortcomings are too obvious. Therefore, when the Chinese women's volleyball team has more choices, it is inevitable to give up Wang Yunrui. Regarding the Olympic P card, the significance of this quota itself is not great, the Chinese team has brought 4 main attackers, so the P card is to observe. In addition, Zhuang Yushan is very young after all, and Wang Yunrui's peak has passed, so it is a relatively more reasonable choice for young players.
