Chen Boya, a name that has been prominent in the Tianjin women's volleyball team for seven or eight years, seems to have an ambiguous relationship with the position of "main spiker." Her height is not outstanding, her strength is not top-notch, and coupled with her older age, these factors seem to be silently hindering her steps towards a higher stage. I have always had the view that Chen Boya may lack the ability to deliver the decisive blow at critical moments. Imagine if she had the opportunity to enter the national team and face strong opponents from abroad. They would undoubtedly target her weaknesses with serve attacks. At that time, whether she can withstand the pressure and not collapse is really uncertain. Of course, I am not saying that Chen Boya is useless. After all, during her years with the Tianjin team, she has made significant progress under the careful guidance of coaches Wang Baoquan and Chen Fang. Her current state looks quite good. However, when we compare her with the veteran Gong Xiangyu, we must admit that there is still a considerable gap in their comprehensive abilities. Gong Xiangyu, as the main spiker of the national team, has honed her receiving, setting, blocking, and small ball combination skills through major competitions, and her experience is extremely rich. As for Chen Boya, although her age and height are advantages to some extent, these cannot make up for her shortcomings in technical details and experience. In domestic leagues, Chen Boya might still be able to perform well by relying on her…

The reasons behind Tianjin Women's Volleyball sweeping Shandong have come to light, and it's neither luck nor the referees. Netizens have keenly pointed out that when you look beyond the wins and losses, it's clear that the physical fitness of the players sets the two teams apart at different levels. Shandong Women's Volleyball needs to step up their game as they currently face a comprehensive gap with Tianjin. The current Tianjin team trains through competition, with a comprehensive development of reserves. Each player is full of fighting spirit, and everyone strives for excellence. Playing each match seriously is not only a responsibility to themselves but also a perfect embodiment of the competitive sports spirit. Chen Boya's many shots today were soft and weak, almost all defended by the opponent, but after the coach called a timeout and gave some instructions, she improved significantly, and Liu Meijun performed very well today. As for Jiangsu team, if they give Fujian a favor by playing a friendly match, it's hard to say who will make it to the top four between Shanghai and Fujian in the end! Without Xiaocaiwa, Shanghai team is only at the level of Liaoning and Fujian. If Shenzhen team were replaced by Liaoning or Beijing, it would be hard to say who would make it to the top four! This season, every member of the Tianjin women's volleyball team is a true hero and a fine man. Li Yingying is an unshakable pillar forged from steel. Today's performance by Meijun was outstanding, and Boya was not bad either! Chen…

In the first round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs, the defending champions Tianjin Volleyball Team faced off against Liaoning, ranked second in their group. Tianjin continued their excellent performance from the Volleyball World Club Cup, achieving a three-game winning streak. Liaoning also made a remarkable comeback, overcoming relegation matches in the regular season and subsequently defeating Shandong and Beijing in the playoffs, securing a favorable ranking. If they could secure another victory, they would ensure their advancement to the top four, as it was unlikely that Shandong would defeat Tianjin. Tianjin ultimately defeated Liaoning 3-0, advancing to the semifinals two rounds early. Liaoning's key player Ding Xia rested for this match, making it challenging for Liaoning. It seemed like a strategic decision to focus on competing against Shandong and Beijing instead. In the first set, Liaoning surprisingly dominated until the score reached 10-all, when Tianjin finally caught up. During Chen Boya's serving turn, Liaoning struggled, only breaking through at 17-10. Liaoning did have a small surge, closing the gap to 16-20, forcing Tianjin to call a timeout. Yao Di's serving turn caused Liaoning to lose another three points. Chen Boya's attack secured set point, and she teamed up with Fetisova for a double block to win the first set 25-17. The second set was equally intense, with Liaoning leading by two points at 14-12 before Tianjin called a timeout and then scored three consecutive points. Liaoning called their second timeout at 19-15, but they fought back fiercely at the end of the set, tying the score at…

Since Yao Di's return, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has taken on a new look, achieving five consecutive victories in the league and rising to second place in the regular season. Moreover, they made history by winning the runner-up title at the Club World Cup. As a world champion of women's volleyball and a key contributor to Tianjin's second five consecutive championships, Yao Di has proven that she remains the best active Chinese women's volleyball setter. Not only has she brought back experience and smooth passing, but also firmness, confidence, and dominance. Yao Di recently participated in an interview program on Tianjin TV Sports Channel, revealing some of her situations before and after her return. She said that initially, the plan was to return in the second stage of the league, but she did not expect the team to encounter such difficulties. Yao Di herself felt that if she continued to wait, the team's situation would become even more challenging. Therefore, out of a sense of responsibility and duty as a member of the team, she chose to return early. The host asked how she managed to perform excellently in the league and the Club World Cup after returning early, despite having the longest recovery time among the team after matches. Yao Di said, "I think I can use Yingying's words just now, which is about willpower. Because from recovery training to getting on the court, it's only about a month, and at first, I need to recover my strength. Only when I reach a certain level of strength can I…
