"Zhu Yuanzhang" fits Chinese women's volleyball team to victory over the United States

　　The American women's volleyball team is one of the opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Tokyo Olympics group stage. This contest can also be regarded as a "mock test" before the Olympics.

　　In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team sent their main players to play, and Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue and Zhang Changning appeared in the starting list at the same time.

The American women's volleyball team "Xue Zang" focused on Larson, and the other focused on Hill to "replace" free men.

　　Faced with the hidden strength of the American women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team is still going all out.

After the start of the first game, the Chinese team quickly entered the state and entered the first technical timeout with 8:1.

After the timeout, the Chinese women's volleyball team continued to widen the score difference. Zhu Ting made many achievements in the attack and Gong Xiangyu counterattacked the ball. At the second technical timeout, the Chinese women's volleyball team had a 16:5 lead.

In the second half of this game, the American women's volleyball team still failed to pass the first pass, and the Chinese team took the lead with 25:10.

　　In the second game, the American women's volleyball team gradually found a rhythm. After the two sides reached a 10 tie, with Gong Xiangyu's offense and serve, the Chinese women's volleyball team successfully determined the lead.

After Zhu Ting made a strong attack, the Chinese team entered the second technical timeout at 16:13.

　　And just before, Zhu Ting was hit by the ball in the eye while blocking.

During the timeout, Zhu Ting kept applying ice cubes to her eyes and said bluntly: "It hurts to death." However, Zhu Ting did not stop to rest, but continued to return to the court and led the team to win the second game at 25:20.

　　In the third game, the U.S. team took the lead. After the two teams squatted to 7 draws, Ding Xia and Washington Netport were frustrated. The Chinese team fell behind 7:8 in the first technical timeout.

　　After the two teams reached a 10 tie, the Chinese women's volleyball team gradually opened the score. After Zhang Changning succeeded in a single block, the Chinese women's volleyball team entered the second technical timeout at 16:11.

　　As the game progressed, the blocking state of the Chinese women's volleyball team recovered.

With Gong Xiangyu's final word, the Chinese women's volleyball team ended the battle at 25:17.

Chinese women's volleyball team missed the semi-finals

　　In fact, just before the start of this competition, the list of the top four of this competition has been produced.

The US, Brazil, Japan, and Turkey women's volleyball team successfully advanced to the next round.

　　Although the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved a seven-game winning streak, the girls eventually lost the opportunity to go further due to too many points lost in the first half of the schedule.

　　The World Women's Volleyball League is held again after two years. The Chinese women's volleyball team came to Italy with the purpose of training new players and running the lineup.

　　In the first three weeks of the game, the Chinese women's volleyball team focused on testing the reserve force and sent a lineup dominated by substitute players.

In nine games, the performance of the Chinese team was ups and downs. After losing 0:3 to the Japanese women's volleyball team, they lost to Canada, Turkey, Belgium and Serbia one after another.

It was not until the third week of the match against the Brazilian women's volleyball team that the girls recovered their long-lost spirit and achieved a major reversal with 3:2.

　　The main lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team began to join in the fourth week of the game.

When familiar faces appeared on the screen, the Chinese women's volleyball team also showed the strength of a world-class team.

　　In the six games, the Chinese women's volleyball team showed a more blooming situation on the offensive end.

Unlike a few years ago, the offense has always relied on Zhu Ting. This time, Zhu Ting has more helpers.

Zhang Changning, Li Yingying, Gong Xiangyu, Yuan Xinyue... When Zhu Ting was targeted by opponents, they always stood up to help the team tide over difficulties.

　　Judging from the team's performance in the first three weeks and the next two weeks, the gap between the Chinese women's volleyball bench and the main players is indeed not small.

The team's skills are not strong enough, and the adaptability is also lacking.

Coupled with the difficulty of controlling their own mistakes, it is naturally difficult to win the game.

　　Lang Ping has said more than once that the game cannot be played by only seven or eight main players.

Sending a substitute lineup to take the lead this time is also to give the girls more opportunities in actual combat, so that they can recognize their problems in the game.

　　Although the strength is not as good as the main players, the feeling of losing is not good.

But in the 30 days before the Tokyo Olympics, the girls still have the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings.

Check the missing Chinese women's volleyball team to point to the Olympic Games

　　This World Women's Volleyball League is the last actual combat drill before the Tokyo Olympics.

After finishing the trip to Italy ahead of schedule, the Chinese women's volleyball team also had more time to prepare for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

　　After winning the championship with a complete victory in the 2019 World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team began to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics.

However, affected by the epidemic, the Olympic Games were postponed for one year.

During most of this period, the girls of the Chinese women's volleyball team were excluding external interference and practicing in retreat.

　　Starting in early 2020, the Chinese women's volleyball team has launched a closed training camp for up to 7 months.

Except for a short vacation adjustment in June, the rest of the time, they have never left the training base.

　　The team members have to do eight or nine hours of technical physical training every day, and watch videos to learn at night.

Only half a day on Thursday and one day on Sunday can be rested and adjusted.

This year, the Chinese women's volleyball team assembled again on January 6. After finishing the first stage of training in Beijing, they moved to Zhangzhou on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and then prepared for the match in Beilun.

　　Except for a test match with the Japanese women's volleyball team on May 1, there has been no international competition for the Chinese women's volleyball team for nearly two years.

There is no doubt that whether it is a substitute or a main force, the Chinese women's volleyball team needs to get back the feeling of the game through actual combat.

　　Through this month-long bumpy journey, we believe that the Chinese women's volleyball team will surely sound the sprint horn of the Tokyo Olympics with a full harvest.

　　Chinese women's volleyball team, see you in Tokyo!
