The Chinese women's volleyball team has always attached great importance to the height of their setters. Yang Xilan, Feng Kun, and Wei Qiuyue are all tall setters and are also the most representative setters of the Chinese women's volleyball team. With this tradition, it is difficult for setters who are not tall enough to gain a position in the Chinese women's volleyball team. Wang Na, Sun Wenjing, Sun Haiping, and Chen Xintong are typical representatives. They all have excellent passing skills but find it hard to enter the national team. Among the new generation of setters, there are also several promising talents who are less than 1.8 meters tall, such as Zou Jiaqi from Beijing Automotive Volleyball Team, Huang Xinyue from Shanghai Volleyball Team, Cai Yitong from Jiangxi Volleyball Team, and Zhang Kefan from Shandong Volleyball Team. They are all good setters, but their careers often end due to insufficient height. Fortunately, the Chinese women's volleyball team also has a continuous emergence of tall setters. Last year, two setters who won the U21 World Youth Championship, Yin Xiaolan and Zhao Yalun, are both 184 cm tall and have their own technical characteristics, making them good prospects for tall setters. Additionally, Jie Shengyu, who shone brightly at the recent Super League All-Star Game, stands at 187 cm and passes quickly and steadily, making her an even rarer talent. Sun Yan and Zhang Zihan, born in 2000, are relatively well-known. Sun Yan, from Jiangsu, is 188 cm tall and was selected into the national team during Lang Ping's coaching tenure. Zhang Zihan,…

The Volleyball Receiver Finally Becomes China's First Scoring Point, Which of the Three Powerful Receivers from the National Youth Team Do You Favor? The U17 National Women's Volleyball Championship concluded yesterday, with Shanghai taking the championship and Jiangsu, Shandong, and Shenzhen ranking second to fourth. The most notable feature of this U17 National Championship is that the first scoring point for most teams leans towards the right wing, significantly improving the long-standing reliance on main attackers for scoring in Chinese women's volleyball. In the 0708 age group, many powerful receivers have emerged, especially Yang Shuming from Shanghai Volleyball, Zhang Jinghuiru from Shandong Volleyball, and Li Xiang from Shenzhen Volleyball, who stand out as the top three powerful receivers! Chinese women's volleyball has long relied on main attackers to dominate, from Lang Ping to Zhu Ting, and today's Li Yingying. The best players in Chinese women's volleyball have always been main attackers. The receiving position is primarily responsible for passing, defense, and linking, with scoring mainly relying on tactical running points. It's better if they can steal a point, but it doesn't matter if they can't score, because there are main attackers. Since the new century, the weakness of the right-wing attack in Chinese women's volleyball has become increasingly evident, especially in contrast to the prevailing strong receivers in Europe and America, highlighting the backwardness and unreasonableness of Chinese women's volleyball tactics. Main attackers must both receive the first pass and bear the main responsibility for scoring, while receivers become marginal figures, widely criticized by outsiders. Therefore, calls for a strong…

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

Recently, the volleyball world has been in turmoil, especially with the Li Quanqiang incident, which has unsettled the entire volleyball community. Just before and after the Spring Festival, everyone was discussing a topic: what will happen to Lai Yawen and Cai Bin, two important figures in the volleyball circle? Especially Lai Yawen, as the director of the Volleyball Management Center, has recently been low-key and not showing up, making people wonder if she is at risk of being replaced. As for Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, although he has always faced doubts, there seems to be no movement, and everyone is speculating whether he will continue to lead the team. Lai Yawen, as we all know, has deep qualifications, a stable character, and handles matters calmly, always being a steady leader. Although she has good relationships, she is often criticized for lacking the courage to reform and always acting slowly. In the current situation, many people believe that she could not be involved in the Li Quanqiang incident, as her style has never been flamboyant, and she handles problems very low-keyly. Although there are voices saying that Lai Yawen might be replaced, from the current situation, her position seems to be quite stable, after all, she has made many contributions to the basic construction of the volleyball circle. Speaking of Cai Bin, people have complex opinions about him. He continues to serve as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, which disappoints some fans who think he does not have enough ability…

Recently, Chinese women's volleyball star Wang Yuanyuan announced a major decision on social media, disbanding her fan group and calling for joint resistance to the fan culture, which has sparked heated discussions among fans and media attention. Public information shows that Wang Yuanyuan was born in 1997 and is from Shanxi. She plays as a vice attacker on the court! In 2009, Wang Yuanyuan received volleyball training at the Tianjin Sports School. In 2015, Wang Yuanyuan joined the national youth women's volleyball team. In 2016, Wang Yuanyuan joined the Tianjin women's volleyball team and started her professional career. Since 2017, Wang Yuanyuan has become the main player of the Tianjin women's volleyball team. So far, Wang Yuanyuan has won the league championship six times for the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Among them, she even won five consecutive championships. Not long ago, Wang Yuanyuan followed the Tianjin women's volleyball team to participate in the Club World Cup. In the end, the Tianjin women's volleyball team won the runner-up. It also created the best record for the Chinese women's volleyball team and Asian women's volleyball teams in the Club World Cup. In terms of the national team, Wang Yuanyuan joined the Chinese women's volleyball team under the guidance of Lang Ping in 2017. After participating in the Swiss women's volleyball elite tournament, Wang Yuanyuan withdrew from the national team due to injury, thus missing the Jakarta Asian Games and the World Championships. In 2019, after recovering from injury, Wang Yuanyuan returned to the national team and followed the Chinese women's volleyball team…

When the news broke that Li Quanqiang was under investigation, it was as if a shockwave had been unleashed throughout the volleyball world. This is not just the downfall of an individual, but may also herald an unprecedented anti-corruption storm for the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the midst of this storm, Zhang Changning's selection to the national team has undoubtedly become the focus of attention. Recalling the glorious years of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it was the pride of every fan. From Lang Ping's "Iron Hammer" era to Zhu Ting's rise, the Chinese women's volleyball team has always been a hero in the hearts of the people. But now, this team seems to be shrouded in a shadow. Zhang Changning, a name that has not appeared on the official court for two years, suddenly made it into the national team on the eve of the Paris Olympics. This can't help but make people question: are there any secrets behind this? And Wang Yunlu, a capable player, was forcibly squeezed out of the national team. Is this another form of betrayal? At the same time, Ding Xia's selection has also aroused widespread controversy. She, who performed mediocrely at the Tokyo Olympics, why could she get the opportunity to participate in the Polish National League on the eve of the Paris Olympics? Is this a premeditated move to let her appear again at the Paris Olympics? And Yao Di's failure to make the cut is even more puzzling. All these things seem to point to an unfathomable mystery. Is it…

Recently, the Chinese volleyball world has been shaken by the news of the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang, being taken down, sparking a wave of anti-corruption. As the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin quickly returned to the public eye within three days, demonstrating his continued dedication to the sport. On the afternoon of January 13th, Beijing time, the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center held a coaches' symposium at the Oriental Green Boat Sports Training Base, inviting Cai Bin to share experiences with the center's coaches and strategize for the upcoming National Games. During the symposium, Chen, the director of the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center, pointed out that with the National Games qualification matches approaching, all teams have entered a state of intense preparation. He particularly introduced Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team and training director of the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center, to delve into discussions on athlete development and match preparation strategies, offering new perspectives for the forthcoming competitions. Cai Bin candidly shared his thoughts on the future of volleyball and his unique insights, emphasizing the importance of precise technical shaping and significantly improving athletes' physical fitness for youth coaches in training. He stressed the need to cultivate well-rounded athletes who excel in both technique and physique. In terms of competition, he advised coaches to make full use of tactical means such as challenges, substitutions, and timeouts, while mastering the latest changes in international rules to avoid disruptions in the overall rhythm due to video challenges during…

In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team on the international stage has not met the expectations of fans and industry insiders, with the gap between them and the world's top teams gradually widening. This situation is rooted in a variety of factors. First, the coaching ability of head coach Cai Bin has been widely questioned. During his three-year tenure as head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the team failed to effectively cultivate new talent, leading to insufficient depth on the bench and a serious problem of aging players. Second, Cai Bin failed to establish a reasonable rotation system, insisting on using a set of main lineup, which not only exacerbated the injury problems of the main players but also limited the growth and development of other players. Therefore, after the Paris Olympics, the calls for Cai Bin to step down grew louder. Cai Bin was unable to effectively address the challenges faced by the team during his tenure as head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. On the one hand, he failed to fully tap and cultivate new talent, leaving the team short on talent reserves. On the other hand, he lacked flexibility in tactics and lineup selection, overly relying on the main lineup, which made the team lack sufficient competitiveness when facing strong opponents. In addition, Cai Bin also seemed helpless in dealing with cyber violence and public pressure, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of his coaching. Given the various issues during Cai Bin's tenure, many fans and industry insiders have called…

The former director of the Volleyball Management Center has been implicated in an incident, and it is still unclear how many other people and events are involved. Speculations and discussions are swirling. However, there are three individuals who have dedicated themselves entirely to building the Chinese women's volleyball team and are certainly not involved in any wrongdoing. The first is Lai Yawen, the current director of the Volleyball Management Center. She took over after the previous director left, so she is not associated with any past issues. Over the years, Lai Yawen has devoted herself entirely to her work, wholeheartedly thinking about the best interests of the Chinese women's volleyball team. After taking on the role of director, she has worked tirelessly to help the Chinese women's volleyball team climb out of its slump and return to the peak. In practice, Lai Yawen is also bold in innovation, not following conventional paths. This season's Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League changed the format, increasing the number of matches to make them more attractive. Players can get more comprehensive training. For Lai Yawen, this is not just a job to support her family; it is the sentiment of an old volleyball player. She truly loves volleyball and sincerely hopes that the team will become stronger. Therefore, no matter what happens to others, she will not be implicated; her integrity makes her immune to all poisons. The second is Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Cai Bin has a very stable job as the head coach of Jiangsu…

In the highly anticipated focus topic, the selection of the next head coach for the Chinese women's volleyball team undoubtedly occupies an important position. Recently, Cai Bin's name has once again been closely linked to this topic. On the morning of January 13th, he appeared at the Shanghai Volleyball Center's National Games preparation coaching seminar. At the meeting, the director of the Shanghai Volleyball Management Center not only emphasized Cai Bin's important role as the training director at the Shanghai Volleyball Center but also unexpectedly mentioned his title as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. This information has undoubtedly sparked widespread speculation: Will Cai Bin continue to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team? Looking back on Cai Bin's coaching performance during the Paris Olympic cycle, it can be said that it was both full of highlights and not without regrets. The Chinese women's volleyball team he led showed remarkable competitiveness on the international stage filled with strong opponents, especially in the World League where they bravely won the runner-up position, as well as successfully defending their title at the Asian Games. These achievements are undoubtedly strong proof of his coaching abilities. However, in the much-anticipated Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team fought fiercely against Turkey in the quarter-finals for five sets before narrowly losing, missing out on the top four. This result undoubtedly brought immense pressure to the entire team and coaching staff. It is particularly noteworthy that after Lang Ping, the coach, clearly announced the end of her term after the Olympics, Cai Bin still retains…
