Chinese women's volleyball team In the battle with the Dominican Republic, many players performed well. Li Yingying , Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu even scored in double figures, getting rid of the embarrassment of relying solely on Li Yingying's one-point attack in the past. The reason why the team can blossom more has a lot to do with the deployment of main setter Diao Linyu .
Facing the relatively rough Dominican women's volleyball team , Diao Linyu actively played fast and used his secondary attack to open the way. He took the lead in activating the attack of and Wang Yuanyuan, and then mobilized Li Yingying's strong attack and Gong Xiangyu's second-position attack to form a "middle Pressure and pull away” style of play. Later, Yuan Xinyue and Jin Ye also got a lot of smash opportunities.
With the ball being able to hit the ball at all five offensive points, it is reasonable to sweep the Dominican Republic. In this campaign, in addition to her excellent passing in her job, Diao Linyu also showed good strength in blocking and spiking. She has successfully taken over the mantle of and Ding Xia and became a new generation of "setters with swords." In her peak period, Ding Xia often used violent secondary spikes to score points, helping her team gain 3 points of offense in weak rounds.
When Diao Linyu became the team's main setter, she also continued the Chinese women's volleyball team's tradition of "setter with a knife". In terms of offense, Diao Linyu made 2 out of 2 dunks, with a spike success rate of 100%. In terms of blocking, Diao Linyu even contributed 3 points. He is the player with the most blocking points in the team, surpassing secondary attackers such as Wang Yuanyuan and Yuan Xinyue. You must know the setter. His height is generally short, and it is rare to be able to surpass the secondary attacker on the block.
Diao Linyu's end-blocking ability also reminds the author of former national team gold medal setter Feng Kun. Feng Kun's blocking ability and spiking ability are very good. She can launch a strong attack from the second position and even hit a few goals in the Olympics. What's even more rare is that Feng Kun has strong end-blocking ability. In the championship competition with Russia, it was precisely because Feng Kun's blocking restricted Sokolova that the Chinese women's volleyball team was able to turn defeat into victory.
After Feng Kun retired, although his subsequent setters all had strong scoring abilities, they did not inherit Feng Kun's fine tradition in terms of end-blocking skills and were repeatedly knocked out of bounds by opponents. It is precisely because of the height difference in the setter block and poor hand shape that all previous Chinese women's volleyball coaches hope to use the second pass to make up for the loopholes in the net. Although Diao Linyu is not a representative of high school setters, her blocking ability is no weaker than that of high school setters, which will also make the team more fluid.
During the cycle of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team tried out many high-school setters, but none of them succeeded. Cai Bin The setters currently chosen by Cai Bin are basically short setters. I thought that the blocking height of the setter would be a breakthrough, but Diao Linyu gave us a surprise. It can be said that with this blocking ability and the increasingly tacit cooperation with various attackers, there should be no problem for Diao Linyu to secure his position as the main force.
