Recently, according to official news, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, is suspected of serious violations and is currently under investigation by relevant authorities. He can be said to be a "big termite" in the field of Chinese sports! The news that Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, was under investigation has sparked heated discussions among domestic fans. Unlike football, volleyball has always been a traditional strength project for the Chinese team, especially the Chinese women's volleyball team. As a result, some fans speculate that the anti-corruption wind has blown into the volleyball world. However, it must be said that during Li Quanqiang's five-year tenure, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team was indeed not very good, and could even be said to have plummeted! It is understood that Li Quanqiang began serving as the director of the Volleyball Management Center in February 2017, after the Rio Olympics. Entering the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the Chinese women's volleyball team began to decline. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team suffered a crushing defeat in the group stage, returning with broken feathers, only achieving ninth place, creating the worst record in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Olympics, triggering strong dissatisfaction from domestic fans. At that time, everyone attributed the failure of the Chinese women's volleyball team to head coach Lang Ping, believing that Lang Ping's tactical application was incorrect, leading to the crushing defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team!…

As the former head of Chinese volleyball, Li Quanqiang's investigation was announced yesterday afternoon, causing a shock in the volleyball world. A topic of concern is whether Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, will renew his contract after not being seen since the Paris Olympics. Now that his mentor Li Quanqiang has been implicated, it seems difficult for Cai Bin to stay on. The current director of the Volleyball Management Center is Lai Yawen, and her good friend Lang Ping may return to take up the coaching position again. Cai Bin began his second stint as head coach of the women's volleyball team in early 2022, which coincided with Lai Yawen becoming the director of the Volleyball Management Center. Prior to this, Li Quanqiang retired at the end of 2021 due to age. It can be said that when Cai Bin returned to coach the women's volleyball team, Lai Yawen did not take the lead; it was still Li Quanqiang who was in charge. When Cai Bin took office, his main task was the Paris Olympics. In the end, he led the women's volleyball team to three consecutive victories in the group stage of the Paris Olympics but was eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage, ultimately failing to reach the semi-finals. However, compared to the results of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 under Lang Ping's leadership, there was some improvement. After the Paris Olympics, opinions were divided on Cai Bin's performance. Some believe that his coaching record has improved and should continue…

The anti-corruption storm in China's sports world continues to spread, and the volleyball world has not been spared. Just as everyone thought that the Li Tie case was nearing its end, a major news broke in the volleyball world: Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center who retired two and a half years ago, has been investigated! Li Quanqiang is a heavyweight figure in the volleyball world, and his actions have a significant impact on the entire industry. Li Quanqiang worked in China's volleyball world for 25 years, from 1997 to 2022, holding high-level positions throughout. He served as the leader of both the men's and women's teams before retiring as the director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center. His status in the volleyball world was almost unshakable, earning him the nickname "the invincible one" in the volleyball world. Li Quanqiang is from Shenyang and started his career at the State Physical Education Commission's Science and Education Department after graduating from Shenyang Physical Education College. In 1997, he joined the volleyball system, serving as the director of the Volleyball Management Center's office, and later became the leader of the men's and women's teams. In March 2006, he was promoted to deputy director of the Volleyball Management Center, and in February 2017, he became the director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center under the General Administration of Sport of China, retiring in August 2022. Under Li Quanqiang's leadership, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved many honors. The most glorious achievement was co-leading the Chinese women's volleyball team…

Translation of the article content into English: Since entering the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, the entire world volleyball arena has undergone a complete transformation. Many familiar faces have gradually left the stage, and new forces are quietly rising. Especially for the Chinese women's volleyball team, after the baptism of the Paris cycle, some veterans who once brought glory to the country will also bid farewell to the volleyball court. As the old saying goes, "The camp is made of iron, but the soldiers flow like water," the replacement of athletes is a normal occurrence. This is also the charm of competitive sports; there is always fresh blood entering, and heroes writing new chapters. The changes in the Chinese women's volleyball team are not just limited to the change of players; the adjustment of the coaching staff is equally noteworthy. The Volleyball Association has made some adjustments to the coaching staff, with Yuan Lingxi, Bao Zhuang, and Li Yanlong being transferred to local teams. Except for the head coach position, almost all other assistant coach positions have been reorganized. This also makes people wonder if Cai Bin's position as head coach is stable. With the changing landscape of the world volleyball arena, whether Cai Bin can continue to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team into battle has become a hot topic of discussion. Currently, among the top five women's volleyball teams in the world, except for the Chinese team, the coaches of the other teams have already decided on their new head coaches: the coaches of the United States and Serbia…

Translation of the article content into English: As we all know, since entering the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, the world sports arena has experienced a major reshuffle. Many veterans have had to bid farewell to the audience due to their age, unable to compete in Los Angeles again. Among them, the volleyball project, one of the three major ball sports, has been hit particularly hard by retirements, which is, of course, a normal phenomenon. Competitive sports are inherently cruel, with natural selection and the constant renewal of generations being unchanging laws. Just recently, the top-ranked women's volleyball teams in the world have successively announced their new head coaches for the new cycle. Only Turkey and the United States women's volleyball teams have replaced their head coaches, while Italy and Brazil have retained their original coaches. The Chinese women's volleyball team is the most special among them, as there is still no specific news confirming who the head coach will be. Judging from the attitude of the Volleyball Association, it is highly likely that Cai Bin will remain in his position, as he has been conscientious and responsible during his tenure, and the team's performance has not been bad. After several years of cooperation, Cai Bin has become the coach who knows the women's volleyball team best after Lang Ping. If the association were to replace the coach, they would have to start all over again, which would be another long wait, and it would not be easy for the Chinese women's volleyball team to achieve results in the short term.…

Recently, the Chinese Women's Volleyball League has been in full swing, and fans who have watched the games know that each team is very strong in every league, with almost every team having star players. Therefore, every match of the Super League is highly anticipated. In fact, the teams that make it to the finals of the league each year hardly change, so many players choose to play for foreign associations when the national team has no matches. For example, Zhu Ting has been playing abroad for years, and last year, the national team's main player Yuan Xin Yue also chose to play in the European league. In recent times, the official media of the European Volleyball League released the points table for this season's Champions League on the platform, and among the top five vice-attacking players, Yuan Xin Yue took one spot. This time, Yuan Xin Yue joined Vakifbank and played four games on behalf of Vakifbank, performing brilliantly in each game, doing well both offensively and defensively. As a result, Vakifbank maintained a perfect record. Since joining the team, Yuan Xin Yue has gradually become a key player for Vakifbank, relying on her height and blocking awareness. In the games, she has repeatedly turned the tide, providing a smooth offensive rhythm for both ends of the team. In a recently concluded match, Yuan Xin Yue had a spike rate as high as 70%, which won her unanimous praise from the head coach and fans. Recently, the European Volleyball League published a list, and Yuan Xin Yue topped the…

The Chinese women's volleyball team has always been the face of China's three major ball sports. However, their performance in the last two Olympics has been disappointing, with a ninth-place finish and a fifth-place finish, which did not meet expectations. After Lang Ping was ousted from her position as head coach and criticized by the Volleyball Association, it became clear that there were internal issues within the team. The ninth-place result cannot be attributed solely to the head coach, but aside from removing Lang Ping, no other effective measures seem to have been taken. After Cai Bin took over from Lang Ping, despite his rigid selection of players, lack of passion in coaching, and questionable choices, he still managed to complete the entire cycle. Much like Wang Yunlu defended Cai Bin after being eliminated, Cai Bin often felt helpless, so he is likely just an executor rather than a decision-maker, and his coaching may have been constrained. On January 10th, when the news of Li Quanqiang's investigation was announced, it was truly heartening, as the women's volleyball team began to receive attention. The team's losses were not due to chance factors, and we look forward to the revelation of Li Quanqiang's crimes. Li Quanqiang's predecessor was Pan Zhichen, who was investigated in 2015 and ultimately sentenced to four years in prison for bribery in 2017, with a fine of 300,000 yuan. However, Pan Zhichen was investigated for problems in fencing, unrelated to volleyball. This time, Li Quanqiang's issues are definitely related to volleyball. Li Quanqiang has been the deputy director…

In the current season of the women's volleyball league, a group of young players have emerged, including 19-year-old Duan Mengke from Henan Volleyball Team. This younger sister of Zhu Ting has undergone a transformation and delivered her best performance to date. In the scoring chart of this season's women's volleyball league, Duan Mengke now ranks sixth with 301 points, surpassing many national team veterans. On the scoring chart, Li Yingying leads with 416 points, followed by Miu Yiwen with 361 points, Zhuang Yushan with 355 points, Ni Mengjie with 318 points, Bekic with 306 points, Duan Mengke with 301 points, Wu Mengjie with 295 points, Fedorovtseva with 289 points, Jin Ye with 282 points, and Jelena with 277 points. Duan Mengke's scoring has surpassed that of national team veterans such as Wu Mengjie and Gong Xiangyu. At 19 years old, she fully demonstrated her talent this season, living up to her reputation as one of the best receivers in the women's volleyball league this season. Henan Volleyball Team was placed in Group B and achieved an undefeated record of 12 wins and 0 losses in the first stage. However, they suffered two defeats in the promotion-relegation matches against Shenzhen Volleyball Team and had to continue their campaign in the Group B playoffs. In the Group B playoffs, Henan Volleyball Team achieved a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. In the latest round of matches, Henan Volleyball Team swept Fujian Youth Volleyball Team 3-0, with Duan Mengke scoring the second-highest 15 points for the team. Wang Yiqun scored 17 points,…

Time flies, and before we know it, we have arrived at January 2025. The second round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs has quietly concluded. The latest standings have been released, showing significant changes compared to the previous rankings. In Group C, Jiangsu and Shanghai exchanged their positions as first and second, while in Group D, Liaoning Volleyball Team made a late surge, securing their first victory of the new year and climbing to second place. It is clear that this year's playoffs are fiercely competitive, with each team continuing to intensify their efforts in the final four rounds to see who can successfully advance to the top four. However, due to the extended league schedule, the semi-finals have also been postponed, which is the biggest adjustment for this year's league. Since the end of the league has been pushed back to March, the original training time for the Chinese Women's National Volleyball Team has been correspondingly reduced. Cai Bin can only select the new training roster based on the players' performance in the league. Since entering the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team has faced new challenges, making the selection of talent more urgent than ever. It is known that the current national team is undergoing a comprehensive reshuffle, with many new and old national players basically confirmed to be retiring. This is not good news for Cai Bin. Taking the setter position as an example, the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team will likely start reshuffling here first. Cai Bin's protégé, Di Linyu, has already…
