On January 11th, the fourth round of the 2024-2025 season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball League A-level playoffs will kick off. According to the analysis of the strength of the opposing teams, among the four matches, three have no suspense, and one is uncertain in outcome. It should be noted that CCTV, which has the greatest influence, widest reach, and strongest communication power, did not arrange a live broadcast for the fourth round after broadcasting the first three rounds of the playoffs. After the first three rounds, Group C's Jiangsu ranked first with three consecutive victories, Shanghai ranked second with two wins and one loss, Fujian ranked third with one win and two losses, and Shenzhen ranked fourth with three consecutive defeats. In Group D, the defending champion Tianjin maintained a perfect record with 9 points at the top, Liaoning ranked second with two wins and one loss, Shandong ranked third with one win and two losses, and Beijing Automotive ranked last with three consecutive defeats. In the fourth round of matches, the matchups are as follows: Shenzhen challenges Shanghai (the home team is listed first, same below), Fujian faces Jiangsu; Liaoning challenges Tianjin, and Shandong faces Beijing Automotive. Analyzing the strength, Shanghai defeating Shenzhen, who has not won a game in the playoffs, is not a problem. Jiangsu, led by Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu, and Wu Mengjie, defeating Fujian with slightly inferior strength, also has no suspense. Tianjin, led by Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan, and Yao Di, taking down Liaoning led by Ding Xia, will not face too much…

In the first round of the A group playoffs in the women's volleyball league, an unsightly incident occurred during the fourth set of the match where Beijing lost 2:3 to Shandong. At that time, Shandong was leading, and Beijing's head coach Chu Hui shouted anxiously at the foreign players and interpreter: "Are you talking? Do you have a translator? Tell her (the foreign player) if she can hold on, then play; if not, then substitute." This scene was astonishing! During normal matches, foreign players like Wei Lin had 82 attacks and Bekic had 40. The workload per game is considerable, and they also need to handle receiving serves and provide support. Regardless, the coach's temper, attitude, and tone are too harsh and domineering! In fact, the approach could be more tactful, after all, in front of foreign players, you represent not only the Beijing Automotive Club. Many netizens expressed: Chu Hui really has a big temper but little ability, he can't perform himself, yet he acts so arrogantly! It seems that most domestic coaches have this kind of attitude! Moreover, the interpreter was also shouted at, and this is a public occasion! Beijing Auto has played too many five-set matches, everyone is tired, and the coach's behavior is inappropriate! Some netizens further stated: Most male coaches in China are like this, with little ability but plenty of temper! Furthermore, it's just a club match, so if China wants to improve its volleyball environment, coaches need to change their tempers as well. Now we're dealing with the post-00s generation, no one…

Translation of the content: On January 3, 2025, the 26th round of the 2024-2025 CBA League kicks off with a total of 5 matches. Here are the predictions for today's games! Beijing Beiqi Team vs Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Team Despite some ups and downs in recent performances, Beijing Beiqi Team actually has a high win rate, currently standing at 17 wins and 7 losses in 24 games. In the last match, they showed strong fighting spirit and good form by defeating the reigning champions Liaoning Bensteel Team, both home and away. Unfortunately, their main guard, Chen Yingjun, is expected to be out for about two weeks due to injury. Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Team, after a ten-game winning streak, had their run halted by Shenzhen Marco Polo Team due to an incomplete lineup. Facing the formidable opponent Beijing Beiqi Team away from home, how will Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Team cope without key players such as Yu Jiahao, Wu Qian, and Cheng Shaipeng? Prediction: Beijing Beiqi Team wins at home. Sichuan Fenggu Liquor Team vs Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team Sichuan Fenggu Liquor Team mainly relies on foreign players this season, achieving a record of 7 wins and 18 losses in 25 games. They face a tough challenge against the powerful Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team. Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team has consistently ranked high in the league standings since the start of the season. In the last match, their home winning streak was stopped by Shandong High-Speed Team. It should also be noted that some of Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team's players…

Even though Beijing has indeed seen a number of promising young talents emerge in recent years, the team's excessive emphasis on seniority has allowed many veterans to continue occupying crucial positions. Despite the change in head coach to Xu Limin this season, under his leadership, several veteran players have remained firmly entrenched. If Xu Limin lacks the courage to "remove" them from their positions, the team's prospects, even with the anticipated return of Zhou Qi, may not be particularly optimistic. In the recent match where Beijing narrowly defeated Tongxi by one point thanks to Jerman's buzzer-beater, the team's three veterans—Lei Meng, Fang Shuo, and Zhai Xiaochuan—combined for only one point, which was scored by Zhai Xiaochuan through a free throw after four attempts. Had any of them performed normally, Beijing would not have been so vulnerable, allowing Tongxi to keep the game suspenseful until the last moment. Xu Limin's current rotation lineup does not feature many young players. Once the mid-career players like Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun are limited in their performance, coupled with the veterans like Zhai Xiaochuan and Fang Shuo also experiencing slumps, and considering that the foreign players' abilities are already average, Beijing will be at a significant disadvantage when facing strong teams like Shanghai, Liaoning, Guangsha, and Zhejiang. However, with the season already halfway through, Xu Limin is now in a difficult position and dare not rashly provide too many opportunities to other young players. After all, he has been very cautious even in using Zeng Fanbo, let alone other young talents who are less…
