The 16th round of the women's volleyball league playoffs is about to begin. Shanghai team has lost its main player Fedorovtseva, while Jiangsu team has gained three major players, which makes this game quite interesting. I think Jiangsu team has a good chance this time.
After Fedorovtseva left, Shanghai team's offensive firepower is obviously not as fierce. The main attackers Ou Yang Qixi and Zhong Hui need some time to adapt, because their previous cooperation was centered around Fedorovtseva.
This sudden change in personnel actually has a significant impact on the team. The tacit understanding between the players needs to be re-established, especially in key points, where the lack of a scoring guarantee is indeed a bit worrying.
Shanghai team's second setter Wang Na has been playing unstable recently, possibly because the change in the main attack line also requires her to readjust the rhythm and habits of passing.
Coach Wang Zhiteng must be trying to adjust the tactical approach in training, but such a temporary change is not easy to take effect immediately.
The overall rhythm of the team may be affected, especially when facing strong teams like Jiangsu, the pressure on the offensive end will be even greater.
Substitute players now have to take on more responsibilities, which is both pressure and opportunity for young players.
The rotation configuration on the court may also need to be rearranged, after all, one less attacking point means that other position players need to share more offensive tasks.
The defensive pressure will also increase accordingly, because the offensive efficiency has decreased, it is even more necessary to make up for it in defense.
With the return of the three main players, Diao Linyu, Gong Xiangyu, and Ni Feifan, the entire lineup of Jiangsu team looks different, especially Gong Xiangyu's strong attacking ability is very helpful to the team.
The overall strength of the team has indeed improved significantly, but these three people have just recovered from injuries, and their state and physical fitness still need some time to fully recover to the best.
Diao Linyu's experience as a second setter is rich. After returning, she can definitely bring more tactical changes to the team, which will cause no small trouble to Shanghai team's blocking and defense.
Ni Feifan's defensive ability is very strong. After she returns, the team will have more security in receiving serves and defense.
After the return of the three main players, the playing time of substitute players may decrease, which is also a test for the team's rotation strategy.
Coach Cai Bin needs to reasonably allocate the physical energy of the main players in the game, after all, they have just returned not long ago.
The morale of the team will definitely be boosted, after all, the return of the main players makes the entire lineup more complete.
But how long these three people can play on the court and how they are doing, these all need to be tested in actual combat.
Li Yingying has been in particularly good form recently, with fierce serving and attacking, making Tianjin team's offensive tactics richer and more changeable.
Wang Yuanyuan's blocking at the net has always been stable. Her attacking combination with Li Yingying has caused a lot of trouble for the opponents.
Beijing team played five sets against Shandong last round, which did consume a lot of physical energy. This game is a test for them.
Tianjin team's overall strength is indeed stronger, but Beijing team's tenacity should not be underestimated.
Both teams' second setters are very experienced, and controlling the game rhythm will be a key point.
If Beijing team wants to win, they must control their mistakes, especially not giving away points in key moments.
Tianjin team's rotation lineup is relatively flexible, which gives them more options for adjustments during the game.
The competition on the court will definitely be intense, and both teams want to make a breakthrough in the standings.
Duan Fang and Hu Mingyuan's performance is crucial for Liaoning team. If they are not in good form, the team will find it difficult to launch an effective offense.
Shandong team's Yang Han Yu is very good at blocking at the net. Her dominance there could be a turning point in the game.
The competition at the net between the two teams will be fierce. Whoever can gain an advantage in height is more likely to win the game.
Liaoning team's performance has always been unstable. They need to make some adjustments in mentality for this game.
Shandong team won Beijing last round, so their confidence must have increased.
Controlling the game rhythm is very important. Neither team can allow their opponents to score continuously.
The intensity of the competition on the court will be great, so the physical reserve of the players becomes particularly important.
Adjustments during technical timeouts are also key, and the coach's on-site command will directly affect the direction of the game.
Shenzhen team relied on the performance of foreign players to maintain their A-level status. They still have to rely on foreign players to score in this game.
Although Fujian team is relatively weak in terms of strength, their defense has always been well done.
This game has been selected by CCTV for live broadcast, which is an opportunity for both teams to showcase themselves.
If Shenzhen team wants to win, they must do well in the counterattack phase and not let Fujian team score easily.
The strength gap between the two teams is not too big, so it's really hard to say who will win the game.
The competition on the court may be fierce, after all, both teams want to make a breakthrough in the standings.
Controlling the game rhythm is very important. Whoever can play out their own characteristics will have a better chance.
The result of this game may affect the ranking trend of the two teams later.
