When the news broke that Li Quanqiang was under investigation, it was as if a shockwave had been unleashed throughout the volleyball world. This is not just the downfall of an individual, but may also herald an unprecedented anti-corruption storm for the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the midst of this storm, Zhang Changning's selection to the national team has undoubtedly become the focus of attention. Recalling the glorious years of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it was the pride of every fan. From Lang Ping's "Iron Hammer" era to Zhu Ting's rise, the Chinese women's volleyball team has always been a hero in the hearts of the people. But now, this team seems to be shrouded in a shadow. Zhang Changning, a name that has not appeared on the official court for two years, suddenly made it into the national team on the eve of the Paris Olympics. This can't help but make people question: are there any secrets behind this? And Wang Yunlu, a capable player, was forcibly squeezed out of the national team. Is this another form of betrayal? At the same time, Ding Xia's selection has also aroused widespread controversy. She, who performed mediocrely at the Tokyo Olympics, why could she get the opportunity to participate in the Polish National League on the eve of the Paris Olympics? Is this a premeditated move to let her appear again at the Paris Olympics? And Yao Di's failure to make the cut is even more puzzling. All these things seem to point to an unfathomable mystery. Is it…

The volleyball circle has been quite lively recently! Li Quanqiang has fallen, and the anti-corruption wave has directly swept into the women's volleyball team, with everyone focusing on Lai Yawen. She is the top leader of the women's volleyball team, with a good reputation all along, but this time... This Director Lai Yawen even served as an assistant coach for Cai Bin during the Paris Olympics. This move leaves everyone puzzled, doesn't it? Let's talk about Lai Yawen first. She was promoted by Li Quanqiang, who is now in trouble, yet she remains elusive like a dragon seen in the head but not the tail. How can this not make people think more? There are heated discussions online; some say she is innocent, while others... We all understand in our hearts that things are not that simple! After all, the women's volleyball team's performance is mediocre, coupled with the "Seven Fairies" lineup, which stubbornly keeps Zhu Ting and Yao Di on the bench. Is this reasonable? No wonder the fans are upset! Could this just be a simple tactical arrangement? Speaking of Cai Bin, how stable is his position as head coach? Everyone has their own judgment. His professional abilities and personal qualities are clear to see. How can he justify a salary of 2 million yuan with such results? Online, some say he only cares about himself, with only the 2 million yuan salary in his eyes. This may sound harsh, but upon careful consideration, it seems to have some truth to it. Moreover, Lai Yawen has not shown…

Recently, the Chinese volleyball world has been shaken by the news of the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang, being taken down, sparking a wave of anti-corruption. As the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin quickly returned to the public eye within three days, demonstrating his continued dedication to the sport. On the afternoon of January 13th, Beijing time, the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center held a coaches' symposium at the Oriental Green Boat Sports Training Base, inviting Cai Bin to share experiences with the center's coaches and strategize for the upcoming National Games. During the symposium, Chen, the director of the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center, pointed out that with the National Games qualification matches approaching, all teams have entered a state of intense preparation. He particularly introduced Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team and training director of the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center, to delve into discussions on athlete development and match preparation strategies, offering new perspectives for the forthcoming competitions. Cai Bin candidly shared his thoughts on the future of volleyball and his unique insights, emphasizing the importance of precise technical shaping and significantly improving athletes' physical fitness for youth coaches in training. He stressed the need to cultivate well-rounded athletes who excel in both technique and physique. In terms of competition, he advised coaches to make full use of tactical means such as challenges, substitutions, and timeouts, while mastering the latest changes in international rules to avoid disruptions in the overall rhythm due to video challenges during…

China's women's volleyball team has a wealth of talent in the position of vice attacker, with players like Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan still in their prime. Yang Hanyu, Gao Yi, and Wang Wenhua have repeatedly entered the national team but have been relegated to substitutes. This season, Yang Hanyu has achieved the best block with 77 blocks up to the 18th round, surpassing Wang Yuanyuan. Xue Yizhi's performance with Shanghai women's volleyball even surpassed Gao Yi, but as an outsider to the system, she cannot be considered. Shan Linqian, Chen Houyu, Wan Ziyue, and Liu Zeyu each have their own characteristics and are gifted, with strong offensive and blocking scoring abilities. Wang Aoqian and Chen Xiaohui are emerging like bamboo shoots after rain. Let's first look at the height conditions and age of the vice attackers under consideration, then combine their spike and block heights, technical characteristics, achievements, and the "old, middle, young" combination method to select players. Yuan Xinyue (height 2.3 meters, born on December 21, 1996, 28 years old); Wang Yuanyuan (height 1.95 meters, born on July 14, 1997?, 27 years old); Gao Yi (height 1.94 meters, born on July 22, 1998, 26 years old) Yang Hanyu (height 1.98 meters, born on October 12, 1999, 25 years old) Liu Zeyu (height 1.91 meters, born in 1999, 25 years old) Wang Wenhua (height 1.9 meters, born on June 28, 2002, 22 years old) Shan Linqian (height 1.94 meters, born on December 6, 2005, 19 years old) Chen Houyu (height 1.97 meters, born in August 2005, 19 years old)…

On the 11th, Liaoning Strawberry Women's Volleyball lost 0-3 to Tianjin Women's Volleyball at home, with scores of 17-25, 23-25, and 24-26. At first glance, these statistics seem to indicate no issues. If you mention that Ding Xia did not start, it might seem strange, but looking at the scores alone suggests that Liaoning played well. Some people say that the second and third sets were close because Tianjin played too relaxedly, allowing Liaoning to catch up. These explanations sound convincing, but let's examine the data to see what it reveals. Tianjin Women's Volleyball statistical results: Li Yingying scored 15 points, with 27 attacks resulting in 11 successful hits, 5 errors blocked, 2 blocks, and 2 serves. Her attack success rate was 11/27 = 40.7%, which is close to the lowest point in Li Yingying's career. Even during the low point of Tianjin Women's Volleyball at the beginning of this season, their performance was better than this. So, there's no need to look for other reasons; Li Yingying's performance in this match was somewhat abnormal. Let's look at the others. Chen Boya scored 13 points, with 23 attacks resulting in 11 successful hits, 3 errors blocked, 1 block, and 1 serve. Her attack success rate was 11/23 = 47.8%, which is also one of the highest data points in this tournament for Chen Boya. In this match, Chen Boya played well and her performance can be considered normal! Wang Yizhu scored 12 points, with 27 attacks resulting in 10 successful hits, 2 errors blocked, and 2 blocks. Her attack success…

In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team on the international stage has not met the expectations of fans and industry insiders, with the gap between them and the world's top teams gradually widening. This situation is rooted in a variety of factors. First, the coaching ability of head coach Cai Bin has been widely questioned. During his three-year tenure as head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the team failed to effectively cultivate new talent, leading to insufficient depth on the bench and a serious problem of aging players. Second, Cai Bin failed to establish a reasonable rotation system, insisting on using a set of main lineup, which not only exacerbated the injury problems of the main players but also limited the growth and development of other players. Therefore, after the Paris Olympics, the calls for Cai Bin to step down grew louder. Cai Bin was unable to effectively address the challenges faced by the team during his tenure as head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. On the one hand, he failed to fully tap and cultivate new talent, leaving the team short on talent reserves. On the other hand, he lacked flexibility in tactics and lineup selection, overly relying on the main lineup, which made the team lack sufficient competitiveness when facing strong opponents. In addition, Cai Bin also seemed helpless in dealing with cyber violence and public pressure, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of his coaching. Given the various issues during Cai Bin's tenure, many fans and industry insiders have called…

In recent years, the Chinese women's volleyball team has become a source of pride for the nation with its indomitable spirit and outstanding athletic achievements. However, as the anti-corruption struggle in the sports world continues to deepen, this once glorious team has quietly faced an unprecedented storm. The source of this storm is the selection decision made by head coach Cai Bin on the eve of the Paris Olympics, especially his decision to include Zhang Changning, who had not participated in formal competitions for three years, in the national team roster. This move quickly sparked a heated debate online. The controversy began during the preparation phase for the women's volleyball competition at the Paris Olympics. Coach Cai Bin's selection strategy was closely watched throughout the selection process. When the final list was announced, Zhang Changning's name stood out as the most controversial point. After all, in the past three years, Zhang Changning had almost completely withdrawn from the court due to personal reasons and turned to various commercial activities and public welfare undertakings. Although she maintained a certain amount of training, being away from competitions for a long time undoubtedly had a significant impact on her competitive state. However, Coach Cai Bin seemed unconcerned about these issues. In his view, as an experienced veteran of the women's volleyball team, Zhang Changning possesses rich match experience and excellent technical skills. Her return would inject new vitality into the team. Therefore, we saw Zhang Changning on the court at the Paris Olympics. Although she only had limited playing opportunities, each of her…

The A-level women's volleyball league has completed 18 rounds, with two rounds left in the first stage of the playoffs. The top four teams have already secured three spots, including Tianjin, Jiangsu, and Shanghai. Liaoning and Shandong are competing for the remaining spot. From these 18 rounds, there are approximately 10 outstanding second passers among the players, namely Yao Di, Diao Linyu, Xu Xiaoting, Jie Shengyu, Ding Xia, Zou Jiaqi, Sun Yan, Meng Dou, Zhang Zihan, Liang Guiqian, and Zhang Zixuan, who stood out in the U-series competitions. In the 18th round, three players from Shandong scored double digits, with two others close to 10 points, achieving a multi-point blooming effect. Sun Jie scored the second-highest points in the game and the highest within the team with 21 points (47 attacks, 17 successful, 3 errors, 5 blocked, 3 blocks, 1 serve). Yang Hanyu scored the second-highest within the team with 15 points (15 attacks, 10 successful, 0 errors, 1 blocked, 5 blocks), impressively scoring 5 blocks and putting significant pressure on Beijing's attackers. Jie Shengyan also scored 15 points (32 attacks, 13 successful, 0 errors, 2 blocked, 2 blocks). National team substitute blocker and Shandong's main blocker, Wang Wenhao, scored the fourth-highest within the team with 9 points (11 attacks, 7 successful, 1 error, 0 blocked, 1 block, 1 serve). Although his score did not reach double digits, he had both blocks and serves, with an impressive attack success rate of 63.6% and efficiency of 54.5%. His performance was outstanding, albeit with fewer ball rights. Du Qingqing also scored 8…

Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has advanced to the top four, and when they face opponents who have also made it to the top four, the results of their matches will carry over to the next stage. Since Beijing Women's Volleyball Team has already been eliminated from the top four, their encounters with these teams are merely for saving face. The match between Tianjin and Beijing in the fourth round of the first stage of the playoffs will be broadcast live on CCTV5. However, since the outcome of the game holds no significance for either side, both teams should approach it more casually, making it akin to an exchange match. Both teams will refine their lineups based on their weaknesses to better prepare for the next stage of competition, especially Tianjin, which has its sights set on winning the championship. This match sees Tianjin playing away, and they have already arrived in Beijing, conducting pre-game adaptive training at the renovated Beijing Guangcai Gymnasium. In the group confrontation phase, Li Yingying, Yao Di, and Liu Liwen have withdrawn from the starting lineup, with their positions taken by Liu Meijun, Meng Dou, and Fujii Risa. Head coach Chen Fang has also stated that several players will be rested during the match against Beijing, and it is clear that Li Yingying, Yao Di, and Liu Liwen are likely candidates for rest. Li Yingying has been playing every game this season, only taking a break in individual sets, which has been very demanding. This time, she can finally watch the game from the sidelines without…

If the gold medal at the Rio Olympics was once the "spotlight" of the Chinese women's volleyball team, then today, this light seems to have dimmed. A team that once drew countless cheers and tears, why can it only hover in the middle of the rankings now? Falling from the peak to the trough, is it due to the players' lack of strength, or has the management buried this legendary team? With such doubts, we must talk about a key figure - the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang. His arrest not only uncovered the truth behind the decline of the women's volleyball team, but also made people begin to reflect: what happened to the Chinese women's volleyball team, which is the spiritual support of the people? Don't rush to be disappointed, let's look back at the glorious moments that once shed tears on the court. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the highest gold medal under the leadership of Lang Ping. Do you still remember the scene of the fierce battle with the Brazilian team? The Chinese team staged an incredible comeback in the Brazilian home court. Girls like Zhu Ting, Hui Ruoqi, Zhang Changning, who were in their prime, fought with momentum and confidence, making countless hearts tightly gripped. This was an era belonging to "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping, an era belonging to the "Seven Fairies." But no one can stand at the peak forever. Everything started to go downhill after Lang Ping stepped down. After this iron coach stepped…
