The national women's volleyball league is currently underway, with great attention focused on the match between Shandong and Beijing. Prior to the playoff game, many expected Beijing to emerge victorious. However, Shandong managed to pull off a remarkable comeback, securing a 3-2 victory. Shandong's success in this match can be attributed not only to Yang Han Yu's excellent performance but also to the breakout performance of 00s-born volleyball prodigy, Jie Sheng Yan. Jie scored an impressive 18 points, making her the second-highest scorer for the team. Her explosive performance has led to speculation about whether she could become a new superstar for the national team. Jie's rise to prominence is evident as she single-handedly scored 18 points in the match, demonstrating her powerful offensive capabilities. Some netizens have expressed their belief that the Chinese women's volleyball team may have found a new star following Zhu Ting, and they hope Jie can fulfill her potential. With the new Olympic cycle approaching, Jie stands a good chance of joining the Chinese women's volleyball team. It is hoped that the new coaching staff will provide opportunities for talented players like Jie, as she represents the future of Chinese women's volleyball. If she can perform well on the international stage, it could lead to even greater success for the team in upcoming competitions. Despite the current challenges faced by the Chinese women's volleyball team, which is going through a low period, the emergence of young talents like Jie has given fans reason to be optimistic about the team's future. Supporters will continue to cheer…

On January 1st, two quarterfinal matches concluded in the 2025 United Cup Tennis Mixed Team Tournament. The Chinese team lost 0-2 to the American team, while Kazakhstan defeated the defending champions, Germany, 2-0. As a result, two of the top four spots have been secured, with Kazakhstan and the United States set to face each other in the semifinals. This year's United Cup saw China fielding a team composed of Zhang Zhizhen, Zhang Shuai, Sun Fajing, Gao Xinwei, and Bai Yan. Due to Zheng Qinwen's withdrawal from the competition, Gao Xinwei stepped in as a replacement. In the group stage, China achieved a 3-0 victory over Brazil before falling 1-2 to the reigning champions, Germany. Despite this setback, China managed to secure one of the best second-place finishes in their group, allowing them to reach the quarterfinals for the second consecutive year. Facing a formidable American team led by Gauff, who had won both of their group stage matches, China made a last-minute change to their lineup, with Zhang Shuai taking on the women's singles. In the first set, Zhang Shuai broke serve three times, only to see Gauff break back each time. The match went into a tiebreak, which Zhang Shuai ultimately lost 4-7. In the second set, Zhang Shuai struggled with multiple breaks of serve, losing 2-6, giving the Americans a 1-0 lead. In the men's singles match, Zhang Zhizhen faced off against Fritz. Zhang Zhizhen lost the first set 4-6 and, despite putting up a valiant fight in the second set, was unable to overcome the deficit,…

In the days leading up to the start of the A-level playoffs in China's women's volleyball league, Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team faced an unfortunate turn of events. Their top scorer, Xiaocaiwa, suddenly announced through her agency that she was terminating her contract with the Shanghai team due to alleged misconduct by the club. She has since hurriedly made her way to Istanbul, Turkey, returning to her former club, Fenerbahçe. This left the Shanghai team in a difficult position, not only losing their primary scorer but also being accused of not fulfilling their contractual obligations, thus becoming the scapegoat. Naturally, Shanghai fans were outraged and eagerly awaited an explanation from the team. However, it seems that the Shanghai team has decided to accept defeat silently, swallowing this bitter pill, as they released a lukewarm statement today. The statement from Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team declared that the team had engaged in no misconduct and that Xiaocaiwa's departure was a personal decision, expressing regret and respect for her choice. They also mentioned maintaining communication with Xiaocaiwa and her agency in the future, hoping for a satisfactory resolution. However, this final remark is entirely pointless; no amount of communication can bring her back, and the earlier statements are laughably inadequate. The situation is straightforward: Xiaocaiwa wanted to leave, and her agency concocted an excuse to terminate the contract without paying a breach of contract fee. The core issue, however, lies with the Shanghai team. Why could someone easily find a reason to terminate the contract? It's even more absurd that the Shanghai team claims…

As the year comes to an end, there is still no sign of the head coach for the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, the usually low-key female head rarely goes out, and no one knows what she is thinking. Even the fans are complaining that when Tianjin women's volleyball team played against the Konegliano club women's volleyball team, the little yellow man cheered for Konegliano but not for Tianjin women's volleyball team. However, people have a bigger question: why didn't our director of the Volleyball Management Center come out to cheer for Tianjin women's volleyball team? After all, Tianjin women's volleyball team also grew under her command in Chongqing? Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to speculate on who the next head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team will be. However, guessing at their thoughts and observing trends can give us a general direction. Currently, the most popular choice among fans is Chen Fang, the assistant and interim head coach of Tianjin women's volleyball team. However, Chen Fang's qualifications are too shallow. Not only has he not received recognition from outside the Tianjin women's volleyball club, but even within the club, although his performance is undeniable, he has not been promoted to a permanent position after so long, and is still an interim head coach. Do you think such a Chen Fang would be appointed as the national team head coach by the Volleyball Management Center? If the support of the club is needed, will Tianjin women's volleyball club support its interim head coach? Another option that many…

The new training list for the Chinese women's volleyball team is about to be released, and the selection of players from the two strong teams, Tianjin and Jiangsu, has sparked heated discussions. Tianjin women's volleyball team impressed everyone with their performance in the recently concluded Club World Cup. They overcame obstacles all the way and eventually won the runner-up, creating the best record for an Asian team in this event. Can this strong momentum continue to the national team? How many players will they have favored by the national team? The success of Tianjin women's volleyball team in the Club World Cup is inseparable from the overall cooperation of the team and the excellent performance of the players. Libero Liu Liwen has stable reception and a large defensive area, becoming the backbone of the back line. In the final against the powerful Conegliano, she made many wonderful saves, making the opponent's heavy spikes return fruitlessly again and again. In the league, the national team's main libero Wang Mengjie and Ni Feifan were plagued by injuries one after another. The emergence of Liu Liwen just filled the gap of the national team, and her call for training selection is getting higher and higher. Looking at the setter position, the return of veteran Yao Di undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the Tianjin team. Her experience and stability make Tianjin's offense smoother and more changeable. In the Club World Cup final, facing Conegliano's high block, Yao Di cleverly used speed and rhythm changes to create scoring opportunities for attackers like…

On December 31, 2024, the match between Tianjin Food Group Men's Volleyball and Beijing BAIC Men's Volleyball not only attracted attention due to the intensity of the game itself but also because of a controversial refereeing decision that shifted the focus from the court to the referees and video replay system. Here's what happened - during the first set of the game, Tianjin was trailing Beijing 13-15, with a tense atmosphere on the court. At this critical moment, after Tianjin served, the ball landed near the left sideline at the far end of Beijing's court, seemingly about to go out of bounds. The line judge immediately ruled the ball out of bounds, awarding Beijing a point. This should have been an uncontroversial call, but Tianjin challenged the decision, requesting confirmation that the ball had indeed landed within the opponent's boundary. This is where the video replay system comes in. Ideally, the referee should verify the call based on the video replay, but there was a problem. The system encountered an issue, and the video replay could not accurately display the correct footage; instead, the referee played an incorrect image. This was quite embarrassing because the big screen showed the challenge as successful, but the replay footage did not match the actual situation, indicating that the ball had clearly landed inbounds when in fact it had not. Most importantly, the head referee did not verify the accuracy of the replay and made a ruling based on the incorrect footage, overturning the call and awarding Tianjin a point. Can you imagine the…

In the glorious history of sports, the Chinese women's volleyball team was once a hero in the hearts of many people. However, in recent years, their glory seems to have been overshadowed by a shadow. From the failure at the Tokyo Olympics to the difficulties faced at the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has plummeted like a roller coaster. Behind all this, it turns out to be directly related to the arrest of Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport. Now, let us uncover the mysterious veil and find out the truth behind the Chinese women's volleyball team. I. The Dilemma of the Volleyball Team: Falling from Great Heights Where is the former champion now? In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has declined rapidly. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, they only won 2 games and lost 3 in the group stage, failing to enter the top eight, which made many fans extremely sad. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, although they barely made it into the top eight, they lost 2-3 to the Turkish women's volleyball team in an important quarterfinal match, returning from the court disappointed once again. This is not just about losing a game, but also about losing the spirit of the volleyball team. What is the reason behind this? The name Gou Zhongwen is now closely associated with the dark period of Chinese sports. During his tenure as director of the General Administration of Sport, the performance of China's three major ball sports…

Just a few days ago, the Paris Olympics came to a close, and the Chinese women's volleyball team delivered a mediocre performance. Honestly, this result has left our fans feeling uneasy! To talk about this matter, we have to start with coach Cai Bin. Over the past three years, Coach Cai has endured a lot of criticism, constantly being attacked by online trolls. Imagine, a living person being scolded every day - who could stand it? Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore and had to leave. With Coach Cai gone, the position of head coach for our women's volleyball team became vacant. And then, the online fans exploded! They were all shouting: "Lang Ping, come back!" "Only Director Lang can save the women's volleyball team!" When it comes to Lang Ping, she is truly the living symbol of our women's volleyball team! It was her who led the girls to win that shiny Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. With such achievements, who wouldn't be convinced? However, things aren't that simple. Director Lang did say that if she were to become a coach again, she would definitely consider the Chinese women's volleyball team first. But the problem is, she never intended to become a coach again in the first place! Not long ago, Director Lang made an appearance in Hangzhou and then flew to the United States. There, she watched American football games with her family, enjoying a very comfortable life. Who would want to give up such a retirement life? In my opinion, Director Lang's choice makes sense. Look at…

On December 31st, Beijing time, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team welcomed their first match of the second stage of the league at home against Liaoning Women's Volleyball Team. Both teams were in excellent form previously, with Liaoning easily defeating Zhejiang in two matches to secure their relegation safety, while Tianjin achieved the best performance in Chinese and Asian club history at the Club World Cup. In this rematch, Tianjin ultimately secured a hard-fought 3-1 victory. Summarizing the victory, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team also received three significant pieces of good news. Firstly, the game was not particularly smooth, revealing some significant issues within the team. For example, they entered the game slowly, trailing in the first three sets and unable to completely suppress Liaoning, who are not particularly strong. The earlier these problems are exposed, the better it is for Tianjin, as they will have more time to make adjustments. Secondly, the game was somewhat challenging, especially losing a set in the third round, which was the second set lost by Tianjin since Yao Di's return. Prior to this, except for the 3-1 victory against Jiangsu, all other matches were clean sweeps with 3-0 victories, which were relatively easy wins. Sometimes, such victories can make the team overconfident, failing to take opponents seriously. Losing a set may be more beneficial than a 3-0 victory, as it keeps the team on edge. Especially after their outstanding performance at the Club World Cup, the players' morale is very high. Losing a set against Liaoning, who are not particularly strong, can serve as a wake-up…
