China News Service, Tokyo, July 25th, title: After losing the first match, the Chinese women's volleyball team will repeat the "Rio Adventure"?

Five years ago in Rio, the Chinese women's volleyball team unexpectedly lost to the Dutch team in their first match.
The Chinese team, which fell into adversity at the start of the war, then started the "Rio Adventure". Fortunately, it "opened all the way" and finally staged a shocking reversal.
On the afternoon of July 25th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team faced the Turkish women's volleyball team in the first round of the Tokyo Olympic women's volleyball group match.
In the end, the Chinese women's volleyball team was upset 0:3 and lost to the Turkish women's volleyball team. The score of the three rounds was 21:25, 14:25, and 14:25.

Now in Tokyo, a familiar scene seems to be staged again.
Before the match, the Chinese women's volleyball team was quite optimistic, and it was even thought that it was very likely to win the opponent by 3:0. Unexpectedly, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost by 0:3.
Another similarity with five years ago is that in the Rio Olympics, the Dutch team led the Dutch team to defeat the Chinese women's volleyball team. It was the current head coach of the Turkish team Gudetti. An Italian with ties.
Twenty years ago, when Lang Ping was coaching the women's volleyball club in Italy, a young man took the initiative to find her and said he wanted to see her lead the team to train.
At first Lang Ping thought he was just on a whim, but he came to the scene every day when he didn't think about it. He remembered densely in his notebook.
This young man is Goodday.

Lang Ping has repeatedly affirmed Goodday's coaching ability.
When Zhu Ting chose to "study abroad", Lang Ping decisively recommended the Turkish Wakif Bank team coached by Goodti.
It is also under Goodty's training that Zhu Ting has become a more mature world-class main attacker.
Goodty, who is quite familiar with both Lang Ping and Zhu Ting, made the goal of this trip: to lead the Turkish team to the podium of the Tokyo Olympics.
In the first matchup, the Turkish women's volleyball team was as good as God's help and played extremely smoothly-although after arriving in Tokyo, many members of the team were determined to be close contacts of the new crown positive cases and were "soft isolation".
Such accidental encounters once disrupted the team's training plan, but perhaps many people did not expect that the Turkish women's volleyball team after such ups and downs could perform at such a super level.
After the start of the game, the Turkish team quickly took the initiative. The second game started with a big score of 8:0. The third game did not give the Chinese women's volleyball team too many opportunities.
At 21:25, 14:25, 14:25, the Chinese women's volleyball team misfired across the board, and there was little to fight back.
From the post-match data, we can also see the disparity-only Zhang Changning scored in double figures for the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Zhu Ting only scored 4 points; Zhu Ting’s teammate when he was "studying abroad" and the 21-year-old Karakul Te scored a game-high 18 points. In addition to her, there were three other people in the Turkish team who scored in double figures.
"Does Goodty know too much about Zhu Ting and the Chinese team's tactics?" The reporter asked Lang Ping in the mixed mining area after the game.
In the major world volleyball competitions, the Chinese team and the Turkish team have faced each other many times. Coupled with the "most familiar opponent", Gudetti, there are few secrets between the two teams.
"The main reason for today's defeat is our own problems. The offensive and blocking defenses have not been played out, and it is difficult to score points." Lang Ping replied.
She specifically mentioned that Zhu Ting's wrist injury was still very serious, and she couldn't help it.

Lang Ping was silent for a while when the Chinese women's volleyball team fell behind by a big score.
In the last game, the Chinese team didn't improve much on the defensive end. During a timeout, Lang Ping still patiently encouraged the players to pay attention to the details of the game. "Everyone still has to concentrate and make the last two points."
According to the Olympic women's volleyball competition rules, the top four teams in the two groups will directly advance to the quarter-finals.
Five years ago in Rio, after the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Netherlands in their first game, they lost to Serbia 0:3 and 1:3 to the United States. They only ranked fourth in the group with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. But they defeated Brazil, the Netherlands, and Serbia one after another to win the championship.
Will such an adventure repeat itself?
After losing to the Turkish team in this battle, the next American and Italian teams are all "hard bones".
However, Lang Ping said after arriving in Tokyo that he would not follow the rhythm and experience of the previous Olympic Games. The team would start from scratch and actively attack the opponent.
As for the next game, Lang Ping told reporters that the whole team will adjust the state as soon as possible.
"Let's try to make up for it!" (End)
