In the recently concluded women's volleyball playoff match, Beijing Volleyball Team suffered a 1-3 defeat against Liaoning Volleyball Team, marking their third consecutive loss in the playoffs, leaving their chances of reaching the top four in a precarious position!
During this game, Beijing Volleyball Team struggled significantly without Wang Mengjie, as their back-row defense was notably weaker. They lacked a strong serving rotation, unable to break Liaoning's first pass, and had no stable powerful attacking point, making it very difficult for them to play effectively! Moreover, Liaoning's paper strength is stronger than Beijing's, and Beijing's head coach Chu Hui's command was a complete mess. In the previous home game, they were reversed by Shandong, yet insisted on playing Wang Mengjie against Tianjin, resulting in a recurrence of her waist injury. In this game, Chu Hui's command was also poor: he disrupted the rhythm by changing the starting lineup every set, digging a hole at the beginning, so what's the advantage of that foreign aid that even the Korean league doesn't want over Wu Lin?
Furthermore, Chu Hui's substitutions were chaotic and lacked rhythm. It felt like Cai Yitong, the second setter, was in better form today and had better coordination with the new outside hitter foreign aid, but in the third set, he sent back Zou Jiaqi as the starter. Both teams had three foreign aids, and today it was obvious that Zhao Yong's guidance was superior to Chu Hui's, with more rhythmic substitutions and timeouts!
The edge attackers of both teams were quite average in this game, lacking absolute hard power! However, Liaoning has a good vice attacker, Xiaomartinez, who can solve problems when things get tough! There are no domestic vice attackers like Martinez. Although her speed may not be the fastest, she is tall and powerful, making it difficult for opponents to keep up with her. Additionally, Ding Xia made full use of this point!
It must be said that Liaoning's outside hitter foreign aid and Xiaomartinez were really worth the investment. Liaoning's vice attacker's offense was too oppressive, and after Ding Xia activated the outside hitter in this game, it brought Shi Bingtong and Duan Fang back to life. Their reception and offense improved significantly afterward. Beijing's Chu Hui is still too anxious and disorganized, causing confusion about who should lead and who is in good form, leading to chaotic substitutions that disrupted the entire team!
In other matches, Tianjin Volleyball Team easily defeated Shandong with a score of 3:0. In this game, Li Yingying performed outstandingly, scoring 20 points, with an attack record of 18 out of 30 attempts, achieving an attack success rate of over 60%! Moreover, Li Yingying received 37 serves, with a 60% success rate in attacks, demonstrating her versatility as a main attacker!
It turns out that Li Yingying gained new insights after becoming captain, resulting in her being everywhere on the court: position 4, back 2, back 3, the most receptions, highest scoring, and the little main attacker who scores key points! I also hope you take care of your injuries!
The vice attacker Fetisova was also particularly impressive, with a perfect record of 10 out of 10 attacks, 2 blocks, and 1 serve, showcasing her strong offensive capabilities! On the contrary, Wang Yizhu, Chen Boya, and others performed poorly!
Jiangsu Volleyball Team also defeated Shenzhen with a score of 3:0. The two teams have a noticeable difference in strength. In this game, Jiangsu Volleyball Team had multiple players contribute, with Gong Xiangyu and Wu Mengjie performing exceptionally well, each scoring 16 points, while Tang Xin also contributed 11 points!
Shanghai Volleyball Team defeated Fujian with a score of 3:1. However, in this game, Fujian Volleyball Team benched Zhuang Yushan, and their main setter was injured, forcing them to use substitute setter Yin Xiaolan. Shanghai's strength is clearly superior to Fujian's!
