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…

Chinese Women's Volleyball Good News, Gong Xiangyu's Successor Found, Can Receive One Pass and Play Strong Attack, Taller

Gong Xiangyu is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars in the Chinese women's volleyball team. Her outstanding performance as a setter has made her stand out among current setters. "After thousands of grinds and ten thousand blows, she remains firm, letting the winds from all directions blow." Gong Xiangyu is like a resilient bamboo that has withstood tests and fought tenaciously on the volleyball court. During the Paris Olympic cycle, the setter position in the women's volleyball team faced immense talent pressure. Gong Xiangyu was like a lone guardian, shouldering the heavy responsibility alone. Due to the scarcity of talent, she was frequently entrusted with important tasks, and overuse led to serious health issues. During preparations for the Women's Volleyball World Championship, her injuries were so severe that she had to miss the entire season, which was a huge blow to her personal career. After the Paris Olympics, the impact of the injuries did not dissipate but lingered like a dark cloud over her. In league matches, she could only participate intermittently, "It's better to injure one finger than ten," yet frequent interruptions due to injuries made it difficult for her to maintain a stable competitive state. Despite being plagued by injuries, Gong Xiangyu always maintained a high level of professionalism on the court. This dedication won the affection of many fans. Among her followers, there was a considerable fan group. The support of these fans, like a beacon in the darkness, gave Gong Xiangyu strength during her long recovery period. However, with the General Administration's campaign to rectify the…

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…

In the women's volleyball league playoffs, Jiangsu Volleyball Team has shown a remarkable recovery trend. The strong return of Diao Linyu and Gong Xiangyu has injected powerful momentum into the team, with their rapid progress clearly visible. In the later stages of the regular season, Jiangsu actively rotated its lineup, leading to fluctuating results. However, by the playoffs, they have awakened like a lion, winning three consecutive victories. Meanwhile, Fujian Volleyball Team, led by Zheng Yixin and Zhuang Yushan, has transformed from a mid-table team into a strong contender with championship potential. It is particularly commendable that both Jiangsu and Fujian have displayed their local brilliance with all-Chinese lineups. In this match, Fujian made some reservations in their lineup, as the difficulty of advancing from the group was quite high. In the first set, Jiangsu Volleyball Team had multiple scoring points, while Fujian's flank attacks were also impressive, with Zhuang Yushan and others quickly catching up in points. However, Jiangsu's net defense was as solid as a wall of copper and iron, while Fujian's blocking and defense seemed relatively weak. After several exchanges, Fujian called a timeout at 11-16. Gong Xiangyu remained the spearhead of Jiangsu, with every key attacking adjustment finding her as the breakthrough point. Fujian relied on Zhuang Yushan to get through the rounds, and Huang Feng could also score, showing tenacious fighting spirit. Twice when the score difference was widened, Fujian could close the gap. At the end of the set, there was a small episode where Ni Feifan's back-row defense was like a stroke of…

With the approach of the Volleyball World Championship, the rebuilding of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team and the appointment of a new head coach are inevitable. To provide more options for this rebuilding process, the Chinese Volleyball Association previously held a training camp for reserve talents, inviting coaches like Yuan Lingxi and Kuang Qi to lead the training. As preparations for the new season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team begin, the selection of the team captain has attracted much attention from fans. It is well-known that the previous captain was Yuan Xinyue. However, when Zhu Ting returned, many fans hoped she would reassume the role of captain, but the Volleyball Association ultimately did not change the captaincy. In the new cycle, it is likely that the captain of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team will change. Why? The current captain, Yuan Xinyue, started her overseas career this season, performing well in the Turkish league. Next season, Yuan Xinyue is likely to continue playing abroad. Since she cannot stay in the country for extended periods and might miss training camps, she will have to step down as captain and pass on the responsibility to someone else. Naturally, under similar circumstances, Zhu Ting, who is also playing abroad, would not be suitable for the role either. What requirements must the new captain of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team meet in this new cycle? First, they need strong organizational and communication skills. Second, their age should align with the 2028 Olympic cycle. Third, they should be playing for a domestic club, as the…

It is well-known that on the field of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team fought hard but still lost 2-3 to the Turkish team, missing out on the medal circle. The main players such as Zhu Ting, Li Yingying, Gong Xiangyu, and Wang Yuanyuan shed tears on the court, unable to hide their disappointment and unwillingness to lose, which was touching. This team, which carries the expectations of countless Chinese people, still showed their indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious spirit even after the defeat. This scene also moved countless volleyball fans, and the fighting spirit of the women's volleyball team deserves the respect of everyone. With the end of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Los Angeles Olympic cycle in 2025 has officially begun. The head coaches of various national women's volleyball teams have been announced, and they have started to prepare for the new cycle. The Chinese women's volleyball team will also usher in a major lineup update, and many players will reach the end of their national team careers. This is not only a farewell but also a brand new beginning. According to the current age situation of the national women's volleyball team members, there are many core players in this team who are nearing the end of their professional careers and may not be able to persist until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. According to the list of current national players, the following is the situation: Zhu Ting (29 years old), Zhang Changning (28 years old), Li Yingying (24 years old), Wu Mengjie (21 years…

The volleyball world has been buzzing recently! Our Jiangsu women's volleyball team has produced another superstar newcomer - Fan Bo'ning. This 18-year-old girl is quite remarkable; she has already surpassed the big-name players of the national team! Indeed, in the latest rankings for the opposite hitter position, she has directly topped the list, leaving even our national player Gong Xiangyu behind. Speaking of Fan Bo'ning's performance, it's truly eye-catching. Just a few days ago in the league, she led the Jiangsu youth women's volleyball team against the Hebei adult team, scoring an impressive 27 points herself with a spike success rate of 66%! Keep in mind, this was against an adult team, and she didn't hold back at all. Standing at 1.92 meters tall, the young athlete has solid fundamentals and a wide array of offensive moves, thrilling the audience with her skills. To understand the extent of Fan Bo'ning's prowess, one need only look at the statistics. In the latest rankings, her effective scoring index reached 4.96 points, a full 0.74 points ahead of the second-place finisher, Duan Mengke! Our seasoned national player Gong Xiangyu scored only 3.05 points, placing third. For an 18-year-old rookie, this achievement is nothing short of spectacular! The youth training of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team over the years has truly been commendable. Fan Bo'ning's outstanding performance is inseparable from the cultivation system of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team. Not only does she have excellent physical conditions, but she also maintains a particularly stable mindset while playing. Watching her command on the court, she…

On January 4, 2024, the Shanghai Bright Dairy & Food Co., Ltd. Volleyball Team hosted the Jiangsu Zhongtian Steel Volleyball Team, igniting a thrilling match that saw dramatic ups and downs at the Shanghai home court. Ultimately, the Jiangsu team staged a classic comeback, defeating Shanghai 3-2 and completing a remarkable reversal from a 0-2 deficit. Shanghai initially controlled the game but failed to withstand the pressure in the critical moments, leading to an unexpected loss. In the early stages, Shanghai's performance was impressive, especially in the first two sets where they displayed formidable firepower. They won the first set 25-18 and the second set 25-23, making victory seem within reach. No one could have predicted that Jiangsu would bounce back so fiercely after falling behind by two sets. In the subsequent three sets, Jiangsu not only made rapid adjustments in attack and defense transitions but also gained overwhelming superiority in the serving环节. As a result, Shanghai's advantage was gradually eroded, ultimately resulting in a 3-2 defeat. The serving环节 of the Jiangsu team was particularly noteworthy, with a very high success rate and direct scoring of 13 points, while Shanghai scored only 6 points directly from serves. This difference was not just numerical; it was palpable pressure felt by the audience on-site. Wu Mengjie of Jiangsu was particularly "terrifying" with her serves, scoring 4 aces throughout the match and causing significant trouble for Shanghai. Often, Shanghai struggled to cope with Jiangsu's strong serves, leading to frequent mistakes. Shanghai also had a high total number of errors, reaching 18, significantly more…

In the second round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs, Jiangsu and Shanghai faced off in what was expected to be one of the most exciting matches of the round. After the departure of Xiao Caiwa, Shanghai had to rely heavily on Zhong Hui for their main attacking line, as their foreign spiker Taina La did not possess the decisive scoring ability. This made Xiao Caiwa's absence particularly impactful for the team. Meanwhile, Jiangsu welcomed back their full-strength lineup for the playoffs, with all injured players returning to action. The playoffs are different from the regular season, as every match could determine whether they make it into the top four. The outcome of this direct confrontation could potentially decide the first place in their group, which would likely allow them to avoid Tianjin in the semi-finals. Ultimately, Jiangsu staged a remarkable comeback after trailing 0:2, winning 3:2 and securing their second consecutive victory while handing Shanghai their first playoff defeat. In the first set, Jiangsu performed abnormally, making mistakes and being blocked frequently. Tang Xin's performance was less than satisfactory, while Shanghai's floor defense had improved significantly. In the second set, despite leading 10:6, Jiangsu allowed Shanghai to turn the tables and win 13:10, with coach Shi Hairong refusing to substitute the underperforming Tang Xin. The third set saw Jiangsu start strong with a 13:5 lead, but they also faced a dangerous injury situation. At 9:5, Zhang Changning slipped during an attack and immediately left the court, appearing to have injured her leg. However, later footage showed that…
