In the Paris Olympic cycle, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to accomplish the task of rejuvenation. The team's overall performance was unsatisfactory, and in three years, they failed to win a world championship title. The gap between them and the world-class strong teams is growing larger. The coaching ability of head coach Cai Bin has been widely criticized. Additionally, the team suffers from a lack of talent, poor echelon construction, and severe aging among the players. Therefore, in the new cycle, the Chinese women's volleyball team will learn from the bitter lessons of the Paris Olympics and undergo comprehensive reforms. In fact, after the Paris Olympics, the restructuring of the Chinese women's volleyball team had already begun. Many assistant coaches from the coaching staff were assigned to local teams for coaching practice. Although there were high calls for head coach Cai Bin to step down, Cai Bin did not resign voluntarily, and the Volleyball Association did not ask him to do so. Therefore, it is likely that Cai Bin will continue to serve in the new cycle. However, what deserves the attention of fans is that the whereabouts of Lai Yawen, the director of the Volleyball Management Center, remains a mystery. After the Paris Olympics, Lai Yawen rarely appeared in public, leading many fans to speculate that she might be involved in the Li Quanqiang incident, although this is all just speculation. Lai Yawen is a veteran of the Chinese women's volleyball team. As a player, she was a mainstay of the national team and made contributions. After retiring,…

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…

Despite the fact that the Chinese women's volleyball team has not officially announced the departure of coach Cai Bin, many signs indicate that this outcome is inevitable. After enduring criticism and personal attacks for three years, as the saying goes, "When a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will surely break it." Facing mounting pressure and the departure of several assistants, it seems certain that Coach Cai will not return to the national team. The whereabouts of the various members of Coach Cai's coaching staff have become a focus for fans. Among them, assistant coach Li Yanlong has returned to Shandong women's volleyball team to serve as head coach, marking a new transformation and challenge in his professional journey. Meanwhile, Yuan Lingxi, who has been steadfast in his assistant coach position since the Lang Ping era, remains with the national team. He has now become the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball reserve elite training camp, continuing to contribute to the cultivation of new talent in women's volleyball. In Coach Cai's coaching staff, the direction of Zhang Changning's brother, Zhang Chen, has also attracted significant attention. After retiring, Zhang Chen transitioned into becoming a coach, with his personnel relationship remaining at the Jiangsu Sports Bureau. During the Paris cycle, he was called up to the national team to serve as an assistant coach. In this role, he fully utilized his experience in training women's volleyball spikers, particularly achieving remarkable results in training players like Zhang Changning. Upon leaving the national team, Zhang Chen returned to the Jiangsu…

Recently, the affairs related to the Chinese women's volleyball team have been mired in many worrying issues. "To know what is straight, one must use a plumb line; to know what is square, one must use a compass." In a healthy and orderly development environment, rules and regulations are the guarantee. However, the various signs that have appeared in the field of volleyball management have made us worry about the future direction of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The new head coach has not yet been determined, and there is no clue as to the construction of the new team. The investigation of the former director of the Volleyball Management Center was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves. After the previous director of the Volleyball Management Center was caught, Li Quanqiang's arrest this time has made the Volleyball Management Center the target of public criticism. The problems hidden behind this seem to be closely related to the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Looking back at the process of Li Quanqiang's appointment, it was full of doubts. At that time, he was not at the forefront in the ranking of热度 among deputy director candidates. However, Liu Wenbin, who should have played an important role in the development of the women's volleyball team and had outstanding achievements and a good relationship with Lang Ping, was transferred to the Tennis Management Center, and Li Quanqiang unexpectedly ascended to the position of director of the Volleyball Management Center. The true logic behind this appointment seems…

The volleyball circle has been quite lively recently! Li Quanqiang has fallen, and the anti-corruption wave has directly swept into the women's volleyball team, with everyone focusing on Lai Yawen. She is the top leader of the women's volleyball team, with a good reputation all along, but this time... This Director Lai Yawen even served as an assistant coach for Cai Bin during the Paris Olympics. This move leaves everyone puzzled, doesn't it? Let's talk about Lai Yawen first. She was promoted by Li Quanqiang, who is now in trouble, yet she remains elusive like a dragon seen in the head but not the tail. How can this not make people think more? There are heated discussions online; some say she is innocent, while others... We all understand in our hearts that things are not that simple! After all, the women's volleyball team's performance is mediocre, coupled with the "Seven Fairies" lineup, which stubbornly keeps Zhu Ting and Yao Di on the bench. Is this reasonable? No wonder the fans are upset! Could this just be a simple tactical arrangement? Speaking of Cai Bin, how stable is his position as head coach? Everyone has their own judgment. His professional abilities and personal qualities are clear to see. How can he justify a salary of 2 million yuan with such results? Online, some say he only cares about himself, with only the 2 million yuan salary in his eyes. This may sound harsh, but upon careful consideration, it seems to have some truth to it. Moreover, Lai Yawen has not shown…

In recent years, the Chinese women's volleyball team has become a source of pride for the nation with its indomitable spirit and outstanding athletic achievements. However, as the anti-corruption struggle in the sports world continues to deepen, this once glorious team has quietly faced an unprecedented storm. The source of this storm is the selection decision made by head coach Cai Bin on the eve of the Paris Olympics, especially his decision to include Zhang Changning, who had not participated in formal competitions for three years, in the national team roster. This move quickly sparked a heated debate online. The controversy began during the preparation phase for the women's volleyball competition at the Paris Olympics. Coach Cai Bin's selection strategy was closely watched throughout the selection process. When the final list was announced, Zhang Changning's name stood out as the most controversial point. After all, in the past three years, Zhang Changning had almost completely withdrawn from the court due to personal reasons and turned to various commercial activities and public welfare undertakings. Although she maintained a certain amount of training, being away from competitions for a long time undoubtedly had a significant impact on her competitive state. However, Coach Cai Bin seemed unconcerned about these issues. In his view, as an experienced veteran of the women's volleyball team, Zhang Changning possesses rich match experience and excellent technical skills. Her return would inject new vitality into the team. Therefore, we saw Zhang Changning on the court at the Paris Olympics. Although she only had limited playing opportunities, each of her…

Two young players under the age of 25 have taken up the mantle of leading the offensive charge for the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, a sight that evokes both joy and some melancholy. The joy comes from the fact that there are successors, giving new hope for the future of Chinese volleyball; the melancholy stems from the reality that a former Olympic champion now sits on the bench, watching her once-held position be taken by newcomers. So what exactly is going on? Let's take a look together. Wu Mengjie and Tang Xin, these two names are increasingly appearing in Jiangsu women's volleyball matches. Wu Mengjie, 22 years old, tall and long-limbed, with powerful spikes, is another outstanding spiker to emerge from the Chinese women's volleyball team in recent years. Tang Xin, only 20 years old, though not particularly tall at 184cm for a spiker, possesses astonishing jumping power and explosive force, like a small cannon, brimming with vitality on the court. In the match against Fujian women's volleyball, they combined for 42 points, becoming the key to Jiangsu women's volleyball victory. Tang Xin, in particular, has repeatedly outperformed Wu Mengjie with her excellent performance, becoming the team's top scorer. Tang Xin's playing style is very distinctive. Unlike other tall spikers who mainly rely on height and strength to overpower opponents, she focuses more on technique and speed. Her spike trajectories are varied and unpredictable, often catching opponents off guard. She jumps quickly and strikes decisively, like a nimble little leopard, constantly running and leaping on the court, exerting immense pressure…

The strength of China's women's volleyball team is unquestionable, ranking among the world's top. Besides their skills, the beauty of the female volleyball players has also been a topic of discussion among fans. Today, let's take a look at these "top beauties" as described by the fans. Zhang Changning was born in 1995 and started playing volleyball at the age of 10. With her strong abilities, she became a member of the national beach volleyball team in 2009. Her impressive height and powerful attacks made her the main attacker for the team, but that didn't mean her defense was weak. In March 2014, she was selected for the national women's volleyball training list due to her outstanding performance and later played an important role in the national team. 2016 was a year of great harvest for her. She received the title of international athlete from the General Administration of Sports and helped the team win the gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, becoming the most valuable player in the women's volleyball league. Besides her excellent playing skills, Zhang Changning was also praised for her looks. Her tall stature gave her a pair of long legs that men found attractive, and her cool and elegant temperament made her a real queen. On July 30, 2022, Zhang Changning married Chinese professional basketball player Wu Guanxi. Wei Qiuyue was born in Tianjin in September 1988. Because of her height, she was sent to the Tianjin Children's Sports School Volleyball Preparatory Class for training at the age of 5. With her…

In an intense volleyball match, the Shanghai women's volleyball team faced off against the Jiangsu team, but ultimately suffered a great reversal and lost. Despite Zhong Hui receiving 58 passes in the game with an accuracy rate of over 60%, the team was unable to turn the situation around. The fundamental reason for the loss was the sudden departure of Xiaocaiwa, which caught the Shanghai team off guard. The planned tactical arrangements were disrupted, and even the opportunity to invite foreign aid again was lost, making the game even more difficult. At the scene of the game, the home fans in Shanghai were enthusiastic, full of expectations, and eager to witness their team's victory. However, when the final whistle blew, a heavy sense of disappointment enveloped the entire stadium. It was at this moment that an unexpected incident intensified the tense atmosphere: a thermos cup accidentally slipped from the stands, which Zhang Changning, who was injured and sitting on the bench, misinterpreted as a fan venting frustration due to the loss, instantly igniting her anger, and inappropriate criticism of the fans followed. As a public figure, Zhang Changning's reaction, though out of temporary emotion, was indeed inappropriate. She needs to realize that controlling one's emotions and maintaining a good public image are essential qualities of a professional player. After all, every interaction on the court can become a focus of external evaluation. Speaking of fan quality, Shanghai fans have always been known for their high standards. They can maintain rationality towards everything on the court, and as long as it…

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…
