The 19th round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League and the 5th round of the playoffs will take place on January 14 at 19:30. The matches include Jiangsu against Shanghai, Shandong and Liaoning competing for the top 4, and Beijing battling Tianjin. It is likely that Tianjin should rest Li Yingying. Let's take a look at the points ranking situation of groups C and D after 18 rounds of matches: For Group C, there are two matches: Fujian Volleyball Team vs Shenzhen Volleyball Team Both Fujian and Shenzhen have been confirmed to be out of the top four in the playoffs. Judging from the strength of the two teams, Fujian, with Zhuang Yushan, has obvious advantages over Shenzhen. Jiangsu Volleyball Team vs Shanghai Volleyball Team Both Jiangsu and Shanghai have already secured their places in the top four of the playoffs. However, since the points from this match will carry over into the playoff ranking matches, the competition between the two teams remains fierce. In the last round, Wu Mengjie performed outstandingly, scoring 24 points alone. Zhong Hui was also the highest-scoring player for Shanghai. This match is sure to be very intense. For Group D, there are also two matches: Shandong Volleyball Team vs Liaoning Volleyball Team Liaoning is ranked second in the group with 6 points, while Shandong is ranked third with 5 points. If Liaoning wins, they can advance to the top 4 in advance. If Shandong wins, they will also take the initiative to advance to the top 4. After replacing two foreign players, Liaoning's…

With the deepening of anti-corruption efforts in women's volleyball, Lang Ping is increasingly gaining public sympathy, especially after famous sports journalist Fu Zhenghao revealed that during the Rio championship, Liu Wenbin, who was temporarily transferred over, worked hard to cooperate with Lang Ping. It was originally thought that after the Rio Olympics, Liu Wen's transfer would be made permanent, but at this point, Vice Director Li Quanqiang was directly promoted to the position of Volleyball Center Director. The content of this matter is so explosive that even the reporter only touched on it briefly. However, Lang Ping's grievances do not stop there. It is reported that Lang Ping's greatest grievance lies in the fact that the peak lineup she personally built, when handed over to Cai Bin, the former "Lang family team" players were not given importance, especially players like Zhu Ting who had close personal ties with Lang Ping. Moreover, Yao Di, considered the best second passer in the country, did not even have the qualification to participate in the Olympics. Why is Cai Bin so domineering? According to media reports, Cai Bin's return to the women's volleyball team was a major move before Li Quanqiang's retirement. And Lai Yawen, who succeeded Li Quanqiang, also gave Cai Bin the maximum support, it can be said that Cai Bin received a level of support that even the peak Lang Ping did not have. However, Cai Bin has repeatedly been controversial in his use of Lang Ping's old subordinates, first and foremost being his lukewarm attitude towards Zhu Ting, who has…

A small painkiller can carry how big a dream?A small painkiller, how much unknown bitterness can it hide?At 32 years old, Yao Di, once a world champion who swept the world, tells us with her story of rebirth from the ashes: This small pill can support a champion's dream, and can also witness the passing down of the spirit of Chinese women's volleyball!In 2024, Tianjin Women's Volleyball started off poorly, which was called a disaster, with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, which would be hard for anyone to bear.The young players in the team had momentum, but lacked match experience, and their mentality could easily collapse, playing bumpy.What should we do?The coaching staff of Tianjin Women's Volleyball were anxious like ants on a hot pot, they needed to find a stabilizing force back!And so, everyone looked at Yao Di with their eyes.Who is Yao Di?She is the hero of Tianjin Women's Volleyball's second five consecutive championships!Good skills, rich experience, able to stabilize the court in critical moments.But the problem is, she had been away from the court for some time due to injuries.Let her come back?This is not something that can be said to come back.Yao Di's recovery was not easy, from recovery training to returning to the court, it was about a month at most.Think about it, how many things need to be done in this month!First, you need to recover strength training, only when the strength comes up can you practice.Back in the national team, she trained for a month of strength, and then took…

In the Paris Olympic cycle, the overall performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team was not satisfactory. Under the leadership of Cai Bin, the team failed to win a world championship title, and the gap with the world-class strong teams is growing larger. The aging of the players is serious, with many veterans facing retirement. Therefore, the restructuring of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the new cycle is imperative. Now that the World Championships are approaching, the restructuring has begun. A reserve talent training camp was specially held previously to select more capable newcomers. In this restructuring of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the selection of the new captain has attracted much attention. In the Paris Olympic cycle, when Zhu Ting did not return to the team, Yuan Xinyue became the new captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Born from a military background, Yuan Xinyue has a tough style, unites her teammates, cares about the players, and can also play a leading role on the court. Therefore, even when Zhu Ting returned for the Paris Olympics, the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team was still Yuan Xinyue. After entering the new cycle, Yuan Xinyue chose to stay abroad in the Turkish Super League to continue improving herself. She performed excellently in the Turkish Super League and remained among the top world-class deputy attackers. It is highly likely that Yuan Xinyue will continue to choose to stay abroad in the next season. As a result, she cannot stay in China for a long time and may even miss…

The news of Li Quanqiang's investigation has sent shockwaves through the volleyball community, akin to a massive stone dropped into a tranquil lake, stirring up ripples throughout. Not only are past achievements on the court being revisited, but complex interpersonal relationships behind the scenes are also coming to light. As the long-standing helmsman of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Li Quanqiang's downfall is undoubtedly set to impact the entire landscape of the volleyball world, with the most attention focused on the future of head coach Cai Bin. If Li Quanqiang was the "pusher" behind Cai Bin's return to coaching the Chinese women's volleyball team, his sudden misfortune has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Cai Bin's future. Cai Bin's tenure in recent years has been far from smooth sailing. When he took over the Chinese women's volleyball team in 2022, there were many skeptics who doubted whether he could handle a team that desperately needed rebuilding after the disappointment at the Tokyo Olympics. Despite Cai Bin's efforts to prove himself and his coaching record being better than the previous Olympic cycle, he still failed to fully win over public confidence. At the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved three consecutive victories in the group stage but was defeated in the first round of the knockout stage, ending their journey in the quarter-finals. This outcome was disappointing, neither a failure nor a success, especially when compared to the team's illustrious history, it seemed rather mediocre. However, reality is a more complicated game than any match. Cai Bin's contract renewal…

Fetisova praises Yao Di as one of the top three in the world? My goodness! That's incredible, isn't it? Although what she said about "this position" confused me a bit, is she referring to the top three setters in the world? This is something that needs to be discussed in detail! To be fair, Yao Di's skills are impeccable; she's like a pillar of stability for Tianjin Team! Her partnership with Fetisova is seamless and exhilarating to watch! She also held her own at the Club World Cup and on the international stage! But then again, as my old friend Lily pointed out, no matter how high the level, if there's no chance to compete in the Olympics, it feels like something is missing, doesn't it? In competitive sports, who wouldn't want to stand on the highest podium and bring glory to their country? Sigh, I really feel sorry for Yao Di! However, to put it another way, Yao Di is doing well now with Tianjin Team, playing happily and enjoying the joy of the game, and that's what really matters, isn't it? After all, happy volleyball is the essence! Lily praises Yao Di so much in the team, but Yao Di mustn't get arrogant! Wait until you lift the league championship trophy together, then celebrate properly! Actually, I think Yao Di's current mentality is quite good, enjoying the game and the joy that volleyball brings! Rather than worrying about whether or not to participate in the Olympics, it's better to focus on the current matches, play every game well,…

Recently, the second round of the playoffs in the Volleyball Super League has come to an end. Tianjin and Jiangsu women's volleyball teams performed exceptionally well, both securing their respective group top spots with two consecutive victories. The intensity of the matches has been thrilling for fans, with each game feeling like a decisive battle where no one dares to relax. As discussions about the two teams' momentum were underway, the announcement of the best technical players in this round of events on the official website of the Volleyball Super League caused quite a stir. Zhuang Yushan, with her remarkable scoring and spiking abilities, won the awards for Best Scorer and Best Spiker without controversy, which everyone was happy to accept. Looking at Zhong Hui's record, she indeed had 32 successful receptions, ranking first. If we only look at the data, there seems to be no major issue. However, behind these reception statistics, the actual situation is not as bright as it appears on the surface. Especially in the crucial match between Shanghai and Jiangsu, Zhong Hui's performance was truly heart-wrenching. She received a total of 58 passes in the game, almost half of the team's reception tasks. However, among these 58 attempts, there were 11 reception errors, with the ball flying out and directly giving points to the opponent, almost putting the team in a passive situation. Such reception errors are really hard to understand. Some netizens even joked, "That game made my heart almost stop, every time she received the ball, I held my breath." It's true; Zhong…

When the public's attention is still immersed in the various controversies of table tennis, the situation of the Chinese women's volleyball team has quietly become a new focus. The Chinese women's volleyball team was once a symbol of glory, and the figures of their struggles on the court seem to still shine before our eyes. However, the current Chinese women's volleyball team is facing many difficulties. At the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved fifth place. Compared to the performance of not qualifying from the group stage at the Tokyo Olympics, this seems like progress. But hidden behind it is the sadness that the age bonus of these volleyball players is about to be exhausted. "Time waits for no man," as time passes mercilessly, the lack of talent reserve gradually becomes apparent. The so-called "Seven Fairies" combination under the guidance of Cai Bin is now facing a severe age challenge. Zhu Ting and Diao Linyu are already 30 years old, Zhang Changning and Wang Mengjie are 29 years old, Gong Xiangyu and Wang Yuanyuan are 27 years old, and the youngest Li Yingying has become the only hope, theoretically she may continue to fight in the future. In the past three years, except for one Wu Mengjie, no more newcomers have emerged. Looking back at history, there are numerous factors associated with the success and failure of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The figures in the Volleyball Management Center play an undeniable role. Once upon a time, Pan Zhichen, despite his experience of being caught, invited Lang Ping…

With Li Quanqiang's announcement, the hottest topic has become: In the Paris Olympic year, why is Zhu Ting, at the peak of her career, not being utilized and left idle, despite repeatedly expressing her desire to compete for national glory? This is not just a personal experience of an athlete, but more like an "earthquake" in the sports world, shattering the hopes and expectations that many people have for the Chinese women's volleyball team. What kind of power struggles and interest transfers are hidden behind this? Is Zhu Ting's situation a coincidence or just the tip of the iceberg of systemic problems within the Chinese women's volleyball team? When will the truth be revealed to the world? Zhang Changning, who has not competed for three years, has returned to the national team, while Zhu Ting, at the peak of her career, is facing a cold reception during the Olympic year. This stark contrast has sparked strong dissatisfaction among fans. Netizens have been expressing their doubts and anger online, with waves of questions flooding in, pushing the Chinese women's volleyball team to the forefront of public opinion. Some say this is the result of "connections" running rampant, a manifestation of corruption within the sports system; others believe there may be deeper reasons behind it, requiring further investigation and exposure. All these doubts are not groundless, but are based on concerns about some long-standing issues within the Chinese women's volleyball team. Zhu Ting's road to return has not been smooth sailing. She was once the "queen" of the world volleyball arena, winning…

On January 11th, the 18th round of the Volleyball Super League arrived as scheduled. The Jiangsu women's volleyball team won 3-0 against Fujian in an away game, and Shanghai also defeated Shenzhen with a score of 3-0. Both teams have advanced to the top four in advance. Although the results of this round were expected, every battle on the court left a deep impression on the fans. Jiangsu showed its strong team style, while Fujian was unfortunately defeated. The performance of player Zhuang Yushan in adversity was particularly touching. From the beginning of the match, the Jiangsu team showed its overwhelming strength. Wu Mengjie had a hot hand, scoring frequently with various powerful spikes, and Gong Xiangyu also stabilized the situation at critical moments. Although Fujian held on to the score in the first set, they still lost 20-25 against the multi-point attack of Jiangsu. In the second set, Fujian tried to adjust their rhythm, and Zhuang Yushan fought hard on both offense and defense, but Jiangsu relied on Wu Mengjie's efficient offense and excellent blocking to win again with a score of 25-20. In the third set, after falling behind 1-6 at the start, Fujian's mentality became unbalanced, and they eventually lost the game 15-25. Wu Mengjie was undoubtedly the star player of this match. She had a high offensive efficiency throughout the game with very few mistakes. Especially in the second set, she scored repeatedly, completely destroying Fujian's defense. Zhuang Yushan of Fujian was the "lone warrior" of the team. In the face of Jiangsu's focused pursuit, she…
