On the 11th, Liaoning Strawberry Women's Volleyball lost 0-3 to Tianjin Women's Volleyball at home, with scores of 17-25, 23-25, and 24-26. At first glance, these statistics seem to indicate no issues. If you mention that Ding Xia did not start, it might seem strange, but looking at the scores alone suggests that Liaoning played well. Some people say that the second and third sets were close because Tianjin played too relaxedly, allowing Liaoning to catch up. These explanations sound convincing, but let's examine the data to see what it reveals. Tianjin Women's Volleyball statistical results: Li Yingying scored 15 points, with 27 attacks resulting in 11 successful hits, 5 errors blocked, 2 blocks, and 2 serves. Her attack success rate was 11/27 = 40.7%, which is close to the lowest point in Li Yingying's career. Even during the low point of Tianjin Women's Volleyball at the beginning of this season, their performance was better than this. So, there's no need to look for other reasons; Li Yingying's performance in this match was somewhat abnormal. Let's look at the others. Chen Boya scored 13 points, with 23 attacks resulting in 11 successful hits, 3 errors blocked, 1 block, and 1 serve. Her attack success rate was 11/23 = 47.8%, which is also one of the highest data points in this tournament for Chen Boya. In this match, Chen Boya played well and her performance can be considered normal! Wang Yizhu scored 12 points, with 27 attacks resulting in 10 successful hits, 2 errors blocked, and 2 blocks. Her attack success…

The first stage fourth round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League has concluded. In this round, Tianjin Volleyball defeated Liaoning Volleyball 3-0, Shanghai Volleyball beat Shenzhen Volleyball 3-0, Jiangsu Volleyball won against Fujian Volleyball 3-0, and Shandong Volleyball overcame Beijing Volleyball 3-1. After this round, the top three teams from the previous league - Tianjin Volleyball, Shanghai Volleyball, and Jiangsu Volleyball - have all advanced to the top four two rounds in advance. Fujian Volleyball, Shenzhen Volleyball, and Beijing Volleyball have been eliminated and will participate in the 5th to 8th place ranking round-robin tournament. The last-placed team next season will be relegated. Liaoning Volleyball and Shandong Volleyball are competing for the last spot in the top four, with their direct confrontation becoming crucial. Jiangsu Volleyball's victory over Fujian Volleyball was largely due to Wu Mengjie's performance. She had 35 attacks, 18 successful, 4 blocks, and 2 serves, scoring a total of 24 points. As a former blocker, she indeed has some experience in blocking. In contrast, Zhuang Yushan had 37 attacks and 14 successful, scoring 14 points, which is not as good as Wu Mengjie's performance in this game. Now, Wu Mengjie has finally reached the level of the national team, while fellow national player Zheng Yixin only managed 5 attacks and 1 successful. Tianjin Volleyball's performance against Liaoning Volleyball was not particularly impressive; it should be noted that Ding Xia only played in the third set, yet Liaoning Volleyball almost staged a comeback in the latter two sets. Therefore, the last spot in the top four is…

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…

The playoffs of the Volleyball Super League have entered a fierce stage. Teams like Fujian, Shenzhen, Shandong, and Beijing BAIC must improve their technical and tactical levels to avoid early elimination. Beijing BAIC and Liaoning were pre-season favorites to win the championship, but now they are fighting to avoid relegation, which is unexpected. Currently, Tianjin and Jiangsu are likely to secure their top four spots, while Beijing BAIC and Liaoning have lost their chances to advance, which is worth reflecting on. In the fourth round of the playoffs, Tianjin will face Liaoning again, and Jiangsu will challenge Fujian. We hope they can play at a high level and provide fans with an exciting and suspenseful match. Tianjin is in good form and should defeat Liaoning again in the playoffs. As reigning champions, Tianjin's double-elimination of Liaoning and advancement to the semi-finals is just a matter of time. After the Club World Cup, Tianjin's team spirit has improved, making it difficult for others to stop them. The addition of Japanese libero Fujii Riko has strengthened Tianjin's championship puzzle. I predict Tianjin will win 3-0 against Liaoning. Jiangsu's main setter Diao Linyu and libero Ni Feifan have returned, boosting the team's confidence. Their future looks promising. Even if Fujian's "Little Cannon" Zhuang Yushan performs well, it may not change the outcome. Zhuang might only lament her untimely fate. With her comprehensive skills, joining a strong team like Shanghai could challenge Tianjin. Shanghai, being much stronger than Shenzhen, could easily win 3-0 if they don't hold back. Shanghai aimed for the championship, but…

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…

The women's volleyball league season is full of variables and surprises. The first match of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs brought four exciting matchups that provided a different visual feast for fans, making it quite interesting to watch. Each group's scores were close, and every reversal and comeback allowed viewers to feel the infinite charm of volleyball. It must be said that this women's volleyball league is really lively, with foreign players changing like a revolving door, making it dazzling to watch. Tianjin Volleyball Team took advantage of their momentum and held on under pressure in the second half, eventually defeating Liaoning Volleyball Team 3-1. At the beginning of the game, Tianjin Volleyball Team suffered a slight setback, but they quickly regained their form. Li Yingying unleashed her firepower at No. 4 position, and Yao Di's clever positioning left Liaoning Volleyball Team clueless. It must be said that their fighting spirit is still commendable. Li Yingying scored 7 consecutive points in the second set, completely disrupting Liaoning Volleyball Team's formation. Although Liaoning Volleyball Team quickly adjusted their state in the third set, Tianjin Volleyball Team still won the victory with a 3-1 advantage thanks to their precise teamwork. Jiangsu Volleyball Team played steadily and confidently, showing the momentum that the women's volleyball team should have, defeating Fujian Volleyball Team 3-1. After the return of the main players, Jiangsu Volleyball Team also increased their combat power significantly. Facing the all-Chinese lineup of Fujian Volleyball Team, they were not intimidated at all, and both sides fought fiercely. The game was…

On December 31st, Beijing time, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team welcomed their first match of the second stage of the league at home against Liaoning Women's Volleyball Team. Both teams were in excellent form previously, with Liaoning easily defeating Zhejiang in two matches to secure their relegation safety, while Tianjin achieved the best performance in Chinese and Asian club history at the Club World Cup. In this rematch, Tianjin ultimately secured a hard-fought 3-1 victory. Summarizing the victory, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team also received three significant pieces of good news. Firstly, the game was not particularly smooth, revealing some significant issues within the team. For example, they entered the game slowly, trailing in the first three sets and unable to completely suppress Liaoning, who are not particularly strong. The earlier these problems are exposed, the better it is for Tianjin, as they will have more time to make adjustments. Secondly, the game was somewhat challenging, especially losing a set in the third round, which was the second set lost by Tianjin since Yao Di's return. Prior to this, except for the 3-1 victory against Jiangsu, all other matches were clean sweeps with 3-0 victories, which were relatively easy wins. Sometimes, such victories can make the team overconfident, failing to take opponents seriously. Losing a set may be more beneficial than a 3-0 victory, as it keeps the team on edge. Especially after their outstanding performance at the Club World Cup, the players' morale is very high. Losing a set against Liaoning, who are not particularly strong, can serve as a wake-up…
