The Chinese Volleyball Association officially announced the list of 13 players for the Paris Olympics on June 29, among which Zhuang Yushan, a young player from the Fujian women's volleyball team, became a P card player. Although it is not in the 12-man squad, it is also a great honor to be able to get a substitute opportunity, which at least proves Zhuang Yushan's value. So why did Cai Bin give this P card place to this young player who has no advantage in height to attack?
Chinese women's volleyball Olympic list:
Main attack: Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Li Yingying, Wu Mengjie.
Secondary attack: Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Gao Yi.
Answer: Gong Xiangyu, Zheng Yixin.
Second setter: Diao Linyu, Ding Xia.
Free man: Wang Mengjie.
Subs off: Chong Yushan.
As can be seen from the above list, Cai Bin has selected relatively strong players in various positions. The main offensive line Li Yingying is the core attacker, Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning's skills are no problem, but the impact of physical condition and injury may cause both of them to not be able to play the full high-intensity game, so Cai Bin brought the younger Wu Mengjie. Li Yingying is the absolute main force that can't be beaten, Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, and Wu Mengjie take turns to do opposite corners for Li Yingying.
The secondary offensive line Wang Yuanyuan and Yuan Xinyue are the main players, both of them have performed well in the World League, especially Wang Yuanyuan's offensive and blocking progress is very fast, the two will jointly play the Olympic Games, II-VI has entered the Chinese women's volleyball team for many years, and has never been among the main lineup, this time to be able to become the third person in the secondary offensive line, it is also a reward for her persistence over the years.
The receiving position is Gong Xiangyu's main play, counting the Paris Olympics, Gong Xiangyu will set foot on the sacred arena of the Olympic Games for the third time. Although Gong Xiangyu is not a strong receiver, her skills are comprehensive and can share a certain amount of pressure on the attacker to pass and attack. There is indeed no other player who can replace Gong Xiangyu. Zheng Yixin's selection is controversial, as a secondary attacker, her height is not advantageous, as a receiver rarely has the opportunity to play, except for the setter to give a particularly good pass to play a running attack, the rest of the advantages at all, let Zheng Yixin shortlisted, more should be a thank you to the Chinese women's volleyball team for training in Zhangzhou all year round.
The position of the setter is also more controversial, Cai Bin supported Diao Linyu to become the main setter is an established fact, even if many fans think that Yao Di is unsuccessful, but the wood is already in the boat, it depends on whether Diao Linyu can activate the attacker at the Paris Olympics. The substitute setter is the veteran Ding Xia. Cai Bin's choice has also been controversial, after all, Ding Xia's age and injury have become important factors affecting her performance. However, Cai Bin may have considered that Ding Xia and Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning and other attackers have been cooperating for a longer time, so he still included her in the list. Cai Bin's choice can be seen that he is still conservative and does not dare to use a newcomer like Xu Xiaoting.
There is no controversy about the decision to enable Wang Mengjie in the position of free man, after all, Wang Mengjie's performance is there, and there is no free man who can surpass Wang Mengjie in the Chinese volleyball world. In addition, the more controversial is the P card player Zhuang Yushan. Although the P card player basically has no chance to play, being able to go to Paris with the Chinese women's volleyball team is also an affirmation of this player.
Cai Bin has selected many diagonal players for Li Yingying for three years, including Wang Yunrui, who has played with the Chinese women's volleyball team for three years, as well as Jin Ye, Zhong Hui, Du Qingqing, Wang Yizhu and others, these players have played much longer than Zhuang Yushan, and they have priority over Zhuang Yushan to get a P card in terms of seniority. But the final quota was still given to Zhuang Yushan. Cai Bin decided to take Zhuang Yushan with him, and what he should look for is her competition temperament and comprehensive technical strength. Zhuang Yushan does not have a height advantage as the main attacker, but she has excellent one-pass skills and stable serve. Although she only played briefly in the World League, she was not affected by the game situation, as long as she was on the field, she could play her due role, and what the Chinese women's volleyball team needed was this kind of player who was not afraid of danger and integrated into the game wholeheartedly. Zhuang Yushan's selection for the P card is well deserved.
