The prospects of the Chinese women's volleyball team are not optimistic
In the previous group stage, the Chinese women's volleyball team won three consecutive victories, defeating United States, France and Serbia, and entered the knockout stage as the first team in Group A. On the other side, the Turkey women's volleyball team defeated Netherlands and the Dominican women's volleyball team in the group stage, but lost to the Italy women's volleyball team and qualified as the second in the group.
The last time the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Turkey women's volleyball team met was in Hong Kong, China in this year's World Women's Volleyball League, when the Chinese women's volleyball team won three games in a row and achieved a big reversal after falling behind by two games. After the game, Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, also believed, "No matter whether the result is a win or a loss, it is just a ball, and the real showdown is in Paris." ”
On the eve of the Paris Olympics, the prospects of the Chinese women's volleyball team are not optimistic. In the recently concluded World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the little-known Canada team and the two-loss old rival Japan team. In addition, in the group stage of the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team was divided into Group A of the "Group of Death", competing with the two world powerhouses of United States and Serbia and the host France.
However, the women's volleyball players used hard work one after another to achieve a reversal from the trough to the peak, and once again showed the perseverance of the "women's volleyball spirit" with three victories. As Cai Bin said to the players, "Cherish every game, every game, every point, and play every point seriously." ”

Red Star News noticed that according to the lineup announced by the Chinese team, three generations of old, middle and young people are assembled among the 13 people, which can be called the "most neat and reasonable" lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Wu Mengjie, Gao Yi, Diao Linyu, Zheng Yixin and substitute Zhuang Yushan are participating in the Olympic Games for the first time, and the other team members have Olympic experience. "Three Dynasties veterans" Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu and other veterans can be called the "Dinghai Shen Needle" of this team.
"From the first three games, they've improved a lot, and they've been much more fluid in both the blocking and the offense than they were before."

In addition to Li Yingying, the performance of Gong Xiangyu, Diao Linyu and other players also impressed Chen Jing. She said that Gong Xiangyu has always been very comprehensive and stable; Diao Linyu played the main role in the Olympic Games for the first time, and her psychological quality and other aspects have also improved greatly, thinking that the new setter will definitely be very nervous when she participates in the Olympics for the first time, but her play and the quality of her passing are very good; Wang Yuanyuan participated in the last Tokyo Olympics, and you can see that she is improving very quickly in this Paris Olympics; Wang Mengjie's defense and one pass are also very good, this time the play is quite stable, and many balls are spelled out.
"So all the players on the field play steadily, stepping on a point, the probability of winning is very high, the Chinese women's volleyball team in the group stage three games and three wins is definitely not an accident, I think it is inevitable." Chen Jing said.
Chen Jing also talked about the "women's volleyball spirit" in her heart: "The spirit of the women's volleyball team is to never admit defeat and fight tenaciously. ”
