Time flies, and before we know it, we have arrived at January 2025. The second round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs has quietly concluded. The latest standings have been released, showing significant changes compared to the previous rankings. In Group C, Jiangsu and Shanghai exchanged their positions as first and second, while in Group D, Liaoning Volleyball Team made a late surge, securing their first victory of the new year and climbing to second place. It is clear that this year's playoffs are fiercely competitive, with each team continuing to intensify their efforts in the final four rounds to see who can successfully advance to the top four. However, due to the extended league schedule, the semi-finals have also been postponed, which is the biggest adjustment for this year's league. Since the end of the league has been pushed back to March, the original training time for the Chinese Women's National Volleyball Team has been correspondingly reduced. Cai Bin can only select the new training roster based on the players' performance in the league. Since entering the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team has faced new challenges, making the selection of talent more urgent than ever. It is known that the current national team is undergoing a comprehensive reshuffle, with many new and old national players basically confirmed to be retiring. This is not good news for Cai Bin. Taking the setter position as an example, the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team will likely start reshuffling here first. Cai Bin's protégé, Di Linyu, has already…

"From the court to the coach's bench, change your identity and continue fighting!" This phrase is particularly fitting for Yang Fangxu. Back in the day, she was a heroic figure on the court, with lightning-fast spikes, serving as the main setter for the Chinese women's volleyball team, helping the team win an Olympic gold medal. But now? She has transformed from a former Olympic champion into the head coach of the Shandong Youth Women's Volleyball Team, a change of identity that happened faster than turning a page! Speaking of Yang Fangxu, she is a person with a story. Back in her heyday, she was in the limelight on the court, racking up honors effortlessly. Who would have thought that knee injuries would become a major stumbling block in her career. Despite her efforts to make a comeback, her form was not what it used to be, and she eventually retired in 2019. Retirement was quite a blow to her, after all, volleyball was her life! But retirement is retirement, and Yang Fangxu's connection with volleyball never faded. Look at her, she immediately transitioned towards coaching after retiring. First, she joined the Shandong Women's Volleyball coaching staff as an assistant coach, and now she has been directly promoted to the head coach of the Shandong Youth Women's Volleyball Team. This change of identity is a whole new beginning for her. Speaking of the Shandong Youth Women's Volleyball Team, it is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide. The players on this team are top domestic young talents. This is quite…

Translation of the article content into English: Have you ever thought about the Chinese women's volleyball team that once stood at the pinnacle of the world, making countless Chinese people so excited that they were moved to tears, now facing the awkward situation of a lack of successors? Yes, in the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, the Chinese women's volleyball team embarked on an extremely complex path - this is both an opportunity and a test. Whether it is to rise again or to be weak in the future, this team stands at an important crossroads in history. The four words "women's volleyball spirit" are key words written into the collective memory of the Chinese people. From the "five consecutive championships" from 1981 to 1986, to the amazing comeback against Brazil at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team is not only a winner on the court, but also a hero in the hearts of the people. However, as time goes by day by day, the old glory may not directly illuminate the present, especially when the international women's volleyball landscape is quietly changing, this contrast becomes more obvious. In recent years, European and American strong teams have risen rapidly, such as Italy's ultra-high point strong attack, Serbia's comprehensive technology, and even Asian teams like Japan and Thailand have become the mainstay again due to their flexible tactics and exquisite skills. However, the Chinese women's volleyball team has gradually lost its past dominance due to the rigid tactics of the past and the aging and declining state of the…

Two young players under the age of 25 have taken up the mantle of leading the offensive charge for the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, a sight that evokes both joy and some melancholy. The joy comes from the fact that there are successors, giving new hope for the future of Chinese volleyball; the melancholy stems from the reality that a former Olympic champion now sits on the bench, watching her once-held position be taken by newcomers. So what exactly is going on? Let's take a look together. Wu Mengjie and Tang Xin, these two names are increasingly appearing in Jiangsu women's volleyball matches. Wu Mengjie, 22 years old, tall and long-limbed, with powerful spikes, is another outstanding spiker to emerge from the Chinese women's volleyball team in recent years. Tang Xin, only 20 years old, though not particularly tall at 184cm for a spiker, possesses astonishing jumping power and explosive force, like a small cannon, brimming with vitality on the court. In the match against Fujian women's volleyball, they combined for 42 points, becoming the key to Jiangsu women's volleyball victory. Tang Xin, in particular, has repeatedly outperformed Wu Mengjie with her excellent performance, becoming the team's top scorer. Tang Xin's playing style is very distinctive. Unlike other tall spikers who mainly rely on height and strength to overpower opponents, she focuses more on technique and speed. Her spike trajectories are varied and unpredictable, often catching opponents off guard. She jumps quickly and strikes decisively, like a nimble little leopard, constantly running and leaping on the court, exerting immense pressure…

As we all know, the news that Russian star spiker Alina Fedorovtseva suddenly terminated her contract with the Shanghai women's volleyball team has attracted wide attention. When the outside world was speculating about the real reason for the termination, the answer finally came to light. As an important foreign aid introduced by the Shanghai women's volleyball team this season, Fedorovtseva's performance was highly anticipated. However, she unexpectedly terminated her contract with the Shanghai team before the end of the league, which shocked many fans because she had been a key scorer for the team in previous games. According to an official document from the Turkish Volleyball Association, December 31, 2024 is the final deadline for completing transfers through termination. The announcement specifically mentions that players who have signed standard contracts and wish to obtain transfer rights through termination must submit relevant information about their termination and transfer to the Turkish Volleyball Association before 11:00 on December 31, 2024. This means that if Fedorovtseva hopes to complete the transfer before the deadline of December 31, she must terminate her contract with the Shanghai team before then. It is worth noting that the document was drafted on December 28, so Xiao Caiwa also started to go missing a few days before that. The announcement clearly states: "For athletes who have signed unified contracts and wish to exercise their transfer rights through termination, their termination information and the clubs they intend to transfer to must be sent to the registration and licensing department by the relevant clubs before 11:00 am on December 31,…

A highly anticipated peak confrontation in women's volleyball ultimately presented a one-sided outcome, surprising many fans. Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team swept Beijing at home with a decisive 3-0 score, but what secrets lie behind this victory? Let's delve into the match to uncover the code of Tianjin's triumph. Tianjin Team displayed their powerful overall strength in this game, with players blooming from multiple points and unleashing full offensive firepower, making it difficult for Beijing to cope. Among them, setter Yao Di's outstanding performance was instrumental. She acted like a commander on the court, accurately passing the ball to the best attacking positions, revitalizing the team's offense. She alternated between quick attacks and skillful passes, making Tianjin's offensive rhythm unpredictable and leaving Beijing's blockers at a loss. The data shows that Yao Di's passing success rate was as high as what percentage, directly reflecting her stability and control in the game. Of course, when mentioning Tianjin Team, one cannot overlook their core figure - Li Yingying. This young captain not only possesses formidable attacking power but also exudes leadership qualities. In critical moments, she always steps up, using powerful spikes to tear through Beijing's defense. More importantly, she can lead the entire team, boost morale, and coalesce the team into a formidable force. Besides scoring, Li Yingying also made significant contributions in receiving serves and defense, demonstrating her comprehensive technical ability and game reading skills. Besides Li Yingying, other Tianjin players also shone. Wang Yizhu's attacks at No. 4 position repeatedly succeeded, effectively easing Li Yingying's offensive pressure. Fetsisova's blocking was…
