On January 18th, the last round of the first stage of the women's volleyball league playoffs kicked off. The two games that ended first saw Jiangsu beat Shenzhen 3-0 and Tianjin's three main players rested as they also won 3-0 against Shandong. Both Jiangsu and Tianjin finished with six consecutive victories. In the other two matches, Liaoning defeated Beijing 3-1, while Shanghai lost to Fujian 2-3. The final standings for this stage are as follows: Group D: Tianjin with 6 wins and 18 points, Liaoning with 4 wins and 12 points, Shandong with 2 wins and 5 points, Beijing with 0 wins and 1 point. Group C: Jiangsu with 6 wins and 17 points, Shanghai with 3 wins and 11 points, Fujian with 3 wins and 8 points, Shenzhen with 0 wins and 0 points. Tianjin's Wang Yizhu, Yao Di, and Wang Yuanyuan rested, with Li Yingying scoring 13 points and Liu Meijun getting 19 points in the starting lineup. The supporting cast included Zhang Shiqi, Fetisova, Meng Dou as the second setter, and Kuriyama Kurumi as the libero. In the first set, Tianjin made multiple adjustments, with Fetisova and Liu Meijun playing well, leading 12-8, causing the opponent to call a timeout. Liu Meijun's continuous blocks and spikes created a six-point gap, and Tianjin led all the way to win 25-20. In the second set, the score was close, but Tianjin won due to their proactive offense at the end of the set. After a 20-all tie, Zhang Shiqi's quick attack resulted in a block, to which Yang Hanyu…

In this match, Tianjin performed equally well as their opponents in the three active scoring categories of serving, spiking, and blocking, but they significantly outperformed them in terms of self-error control. Minas gave away 26 points in just three sets, essentially conceding a set. Li Yingying scored 22 points in three sets, with 21 successful spikes out of 34 attempts, 5 errors, and 1 block, achieving a success rate of 61.8% and contributing one ace serve, making her a key player in the team's victory. Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team defeated the strong Brazilian team Minas with a decisive 3-0 victory, not only securing the top spot in their group but also achieving unprecedented glory for Asian teams in the Club World Cup by becoming the first Asian team to advance to the semifinals as group leaders. This victory not only reflects Tianjin's strength but also symbolizes the Chinese women's volleyball team's progress towards world-class standards. The significance of this victory extends beyond securing the top spot in the group. It marks a subtle shift in the status of Asian women's volleyball on the world stage. Looking back, the best achievement for Asian teams in the Club World Cup was third place, but now Tianjin is on the brink of challenging for the final, or even the championship. This is not just an improvement in results but a significant leap forward in the capabilities of Asian women's volleyball, the culmination of years of hard work across the Asian volleyball community. Li Yingying is undoubtedly one of the biggest contributors to this…

In the current season's women's volleyball league scoring chart, Sichuan Volleyball Team's core player Miuyiwen has risen to second place, only behind Tianjin Volleyball Team's top scorer Li Yingying. Miuyiwen is a new goddess of the Chinese women's volleyball team, known as the "Volleyball Cecilia Cheung." Born in 2000, she was selected twice for the Chinese women's volleyball team in 2022 and 2023 and also played in the Italian women's volleyball league and the Turkish women's volleyball super league. Miuyiwen has a beautiful appearance and an impressive figure, making her a true goddess-level star of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In this season's women's volleyball league, Sichuan Volleyball Team was placed in Group B, with Miuyiwen serving as the team captain. Sichuan Volleyball Team's strength stands out in Group B, finishing second in the first stage of the playoffs in Group B, just behind Henan Volleyball Team. In the latest round where Sichuan Volleyball Team defeated Yunnan Volleyball Team 3-2, Miuyiwen scored the highest points in the game with 33 points, including 29 points from spikes and 4 points from serves. On the scoring chart of this season's women's volleyball league, Miuyiwen ranks second with 361 points, only behind Li Yingying who scored 416 points.

Recently, the women's volleyball league has entered a fierce stage, and here is a review of the players' performance! As well as predictions for the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Los Angeles Olympic cycle! In the position of vice attack, national player Yang Hanyu has made great progress! The three best vice attacks this season are Xiaomartin, Feiwa, and Yang Hanyu. Wang Yuanyuan and Xue Yizhi are also good, but the author thinks they are slightly inferior to these three. The most aggressive Xiaomartin, the most comprehensive Fetisova in serving, spiking, blocking, defending, and cushioning, Yang Hanyu's attacking and blocking are relatively balanced, but her serve is weak. This season, Yang Hanyu has made great progress, with particularly outstanding offense and excellent blocking. I am optimistic about her playing the main force for the national team! In the setter position, the three most outstanding setters are still veterans: such as Yao Di from Tianjin Women's Volleyball, Diao Linyu from Jiangsu, and Ding Xia from Liaoning. The three really have not lost their edge, each with their own characteristics! Among the young setters, Jie Shengyu from Shandong, Zou Jiaqi from Beijing, and Xu Xiaoting from Shanghai stand out, but they also have their own shortcomings! However, there is a feature among setters: many tall setters have emerged! For example, Meng Dou from Tianjin (born in 1997, 189cm), Sun Yan from Jiangsu (born on August 24, 2001, 187cm), Zhang Zihan from Henan (born on May 2, 2000, 186cm), Jie Shengyu from Shandong (born on May 28, 2004, 187cm), Zhu Hangting from…

Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has advanced to the top four, and when they face opponents who have also made it to the top four, the results of their matches will carry over to the next stage. Since Beijing Women's Volleyball Team has already been eliminated from the top four, their encounters with these teams are merely for saving face. The match between Tianjin and Beijing in the fourth round of the first stage of the playoffs will be broadcast live on CCTV5. However, since the outcome of the game holds no significance for either side, both teams should approach it more casually, making it akin to an exchange match. Both teams will refine their lineups based on their weaknesses to better prepare for the next stage of competition, especially Tianjin, which has its sights set on winning the championship. This match sees Tianjin playing away, and they have already arrived in Beijing, conducting pre-game adaptive training at the renovated Beijing Guangcai Gymnasium. In the group confrontation phase, Li Yingying, Yao Di, and Liu Liwen have withdrawn from the starting lineup, with their positions taken by Liu Meijun, Meng Dou, and Fujii Risa. Head coach Chen Fang has also stated that several players will be rested during the match against Beijing, and it is clear that Li Yingying, Yao Di, and Liu Liwen are likely candidates for rest. Li Yingying has been playing every game this season, only taking a break in individual sets, which has been very demanding. This time, she can finally watch the game from the sidelines without…

The 19th round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League and the 5th round of the playoffs will take place on January 14 at 19:30. The matches include Jiangsu against Shanghai, Shandong and Liaoning competing for the top 4, and Beijing battling Tianjin. It is likely that Tianjin should rest Li Yingying. Let's take a look at the points ranking situation of groups C and D after 18 rounds of matches: For Group C, there are two matches: Fujian Volleyball Team vs Shenzhen Volleyball Team Both Fujian and Shenzhen have been confirmed to be out of the top four in the playoffs. Judging from the strength of the two teams, Fujian, with Zhuang Yushan, has obvious advantages over Shenzhen. Jiangsu Volleyball Team vs Shanghai Volleyball Team Both Jiangsu and Shanghai have already secured their places in the top four of the playoffs. However, since the points from this match will carry over into the playoff ranking matches, the competition between the two teams remains fierce. In the last round, Wu Mengjie performed outstandingly, scoring 24 points alone. Zhong Hui was also the highest-scoring player for Shanghai. This match is sure to be very intense. For Group D, there are also two matches: Shandong Volleyball Team vs Liaoning Volleyball Team Liaoning is ranked second in the group with 6 points, while Shandong is ranked third with 5 points. If Liaoning wins, they can advance to the top 4 in advance. If Shandong wins, they will also take the initiative to advance to the top 4. After replacing two foreign players, Liaoning's…

A small painkiller can carry how big a dream?A small painkiller, how much unknown bitterness can it hide?At 32 years old, Yao Di, once a world champion who swept the world, tells us with her story of rebirth from the ashes: This small pill can support a champion's dream, and can also witness the passing down of the spirit of Chinese women's volleyball!In 2024, Tianjin Women's Volleyball started off poorly, which was called a disaster, with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, which would be hard for anyone to bear.The young players in the team had momentum, but lacked match experience, and their mentality could easily collapse, playing bumpy.What should we do?The coaching staff of Tianjin Women's Volleyball were anxious like ants on a hot pot, they needed to find a stabilizing force back!And so, everyone looked at Yao Di with their eyes.Who is Yao Di?She is the hero of Tianjin Women's Volleyball's second five consecutive championships!Good skills, rich experience, able to stabilize the court in critical moments.But the problem is, she had been away from the court for some time due to injuries.Let her come back?This is not something that can be said to come back.Yao Di's recovery was not easy, from recovery training to returning to the court, it was about a month at most.Think about it, how many things need to be done in this month!First, you need to recover strength training, only when the strength comes up can you practice.Back in the national team, she trained for a month of strength, and then took…

The Paris Olympics were a painful experience for the Chinese women's volleyball team, including Lang Ping and Zhu Ting, as well as Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan, Wang Mengjie, Yao Di, and most fans. However, for some individuals within the Chinese Volleyball Association and national team head coach Cai Bin, the fifth-place finish at the Paris Olympics was considered a success. This is because it represented an improvement from the ninth-place finish in Tokyo and fulfilled their objectives. Additionally, with the decline of the three major ball sports, the women's volleyball team's ability to reach the Olympic quarterfinals was seen as one of the best performances. As a result, certain officials retained their positions, and for the next four years of the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, the formation and operation of the national women's volleyball team will continue in the style of Paris. This makes it relatively easy to predict the roster for the 2025 national team training camp. Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, and Wang Mengjie are unlikely to participate in the new round of national team training due to their age and the fact that Zhu and Yuan play in Europe, where the season ends later, making it probable that they will only return to the team shortly before major competitions. Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan, and Gong Xiangyu are the core of the national team, while Wu Mengjie, Zhuang Yushan, and Gao Yi are key players. Xu Xiaoting, Ni Feifan, and Wang Wenhao left the national team before the Paris Olympics but will naturally continue to prepare for the Los…

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…

In the heated arena of the Chinese Women's Volleyball League, a fierce battle has just concluded, leaving behind lingering warmth, yet the enthusiasm of the fans remains undiminished. Among the crowd, a young and dazzling figure stands out - Li Yingying, patiently signing autographs for enthusiastic fans with a warm smile on her face. A fan seriously asks, "Yingying, when are you going to develop on a higher stage? You deserve much better!" In response to this unexpected question, Li Yingying smiles slightly, a fleeting complex emotion flashing in her eyes, softly replying, "There's nothing wrong with staying." Although spoken in a relaxed tone, these words seem to contain endless depth and helplessness. On the domestic women's volleyball league stage, Li Yingying has undoubtedly become the brightest star. Her every spike and save seem to declare to the world that her era has arrived. Whether it was the ups and downs of Tianjin Women's Volleyball at the beginning of the season or the increasingly powerful team in the playoffs with Yao Di's return, Li Yingying's performance remained consistent, stable, and brilliant. She leads the scoring and spiking charts by a wide margin, almost single-handedly carrying the entire team forward. Such a performance is undoubtedly the best interpretation of her remarkable abilities. However, for such a player who has almost reached an "invincible" level on the domestic stage, continuing to stay in this familiar battleground seems to no longer satisfy her pursuit of higher-level competition. Li Yingying's gaze has long been directed towards the broader international arena. In the recently concluded…
