In the second round of the World Championships that ended tonight, the last game between China and Colombia, where the Chinese team is located. There is no suspense in the result of the game. The Chinese team defeated the opponent 3-0, and the strength of this group is very clear. After the first three and two rounds of the game, the three teams, China, Brazil and Japan, all won two consecutive games, ranking in the top three in the group. The three teams, Czech Republic, Colombia and Argentina, lost in the first two games and ranked in the bottom three. It should be said that the whole situation is very clear.
The game against Colombia itself is not too difficult. Colombia is not particularly strong. What's more important is that they have very little experience in the competition. This World Championship is the first time in Colombia's history to participate in the three major world competitions, which are what we call the World Cup, Olympics and World Championships. Without the advantage of strength, there is less experience in fighting teams in other regions, which further reduces the possibility of uproar. In fact, in the South American volleyball world, except for the Brazilian team, the rest of the people who are more familiar with, or who have more opportunities to participate in international competitions are Argentina and Venezuela. However, Colombia had a little bit of a sudden appearance at last year's South America Championship.
South American Championship adopts a big round-robin competition system, and there is no knockout match. After the round-robin competition is completed, the team ranked first in the standings will automatically win the championship. At that time, Colombia and Brazil were tied for the first place, but in terms of small points, Brazil was better than Colombia, so it finally won the championship in this South American division with a very difficult time. Colombia also ranked second by Argentina and , Venezuela and . It was indeed eye-catching and qualified to participate in this World Championships. However, as we said, there is no absolute advantage in strength, and there is less experience in international competitions, so it is reasonable to lose.
The starting lineup of this game actually surprised everyone or had some surprises. Cai Bin ranked Gong Xiangyu in the starting lineup. Why is this a surprise and an accident? Gong Xiangyu did not play in the first game because of the injury before the game. We expect that although her injury is not very serious, many media people in the front line have sent messages. This is just a spraining injury and no bones are injured, but Colombia is too weak, so the Chinese team is likely to let Gong Xiangyu continue to rest. Now it seems that we are half right. Gong Xiangyu's injury is definitely not very serious, but Cai Bin sent her to this game in order to help Gong Xiangyu recover her form as soon as possible, and basically did not replace her.
In this game, in tactics, they often tend toward Gong Xiangyu, adding a lot of offensive routines at the second position, in order to enable Gong Xiangyu to enter the game as soon as possible. After all, 24 hours later, the Chinese team will face the first real challenge in the World Championships - Japanese team . This game is still very critical for Chinese women's volleyball team , because Gong Xiangyu came on the court. In the original case, everyone guessed that in this case, it is very likely that the captain of Beijing women's volleyball team , Jin Ye , would be transferred because her scoring ability is quite good. The reason why Wang Yunlu was the starter in the last game was because Gong Xiangyu was not there in the last game, and Wang Yizhu, who played the , could not receive a first pass, including the defensive organization being poor, so Wang Yunlu came up to support the first pass and the defensive organization. But in this game, Wang Yunlu still got the opportunity to start.
Of course, her performance is very outstanding, especially in the offense. It has made obvious progress compared to the previous World Women's Volleyball Team League. The line of playing is more variable, and the goal is more resolute. Unlike the previous World Women's Volleyball League, she dares not play when facing some opportunities.Cai Bin also saw that during the training at the Beilun base in Ningbo during this period, it can be seen that Wang Yunlu is the one who has made the most progress among this group of players, so even if Gong Xiangyu comes back, the position of the main player is still left to Wang Yunlu.
After winning streak, the Chinese women's volleyball team's performance has also improved further. I hope that in the strong dialogue with the Japanese team tomorrow, the Chinese team can still maintain an excellent state
