On October 1, Chinese women's volleyball ushered in the last game of the group stage of the 2022 women's volleyball World Championships, and it is also a game related to the situation in the quarterfinals. The opponent is Brazilian women's volleyball . After winning the first game 25-23, the Chinese women's volleyball team was reversed by the Brazilian women's volleyball team 17-25 and two 22-25. At this point, both the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team will enter the second stage E Group with a record of 2 wins and 1 losses.
One pass disrupts the rhythm
Chinese women's volleyball team made adjustments to the starting lineup in this game, Wang Weiyi replaced Wang Mengjie as the starting lineup free agent. After the game started, with the cheering of Chinese fans on the spot, the Chinese women's volleyball team quickly got into the state, and their emotions and skills were mobilized very well, quickly gaining a lead of about 5 points. But at the end of the first game, the Brazilian women's volleyball team started with Tenera's powerful jump-off and played the Chinese women's volleyball team. Although the team still won the first game 25-23 by relying on the score advantage accumulated in the first half of the game, the Brazilian women's volleyball team continued to use their serve to attack the Chinese women's volleyball team, achieving results.

In the subsequent game, the first pass of the Chinese women's volleyball team encountered a challenge, which became a problem that troubled the team. As a result, the team's offense also lost its pace, which led to problems of varying degrees in each link. However, changing the second pass and the secondary attack cannot fundamentally solve the problems of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Even if it is replaced with , Jin Ye, and , the improvement to the team's first pass is relatively limited. Although some points are recovered through rhythm changes in some periods, if the fundamental problem is not solved, the opponent will eventually win the game.
When the first pass and second pass are not stable enough, the threat of the Chinese women's volleyball team's secondary attacker has greatly decreased. Due to the injury, Gong Xiangyu's current jumping height of , and her strong attack is no longer as high as before, which is equivalent to the Chinese women's volleyball team missing another strong attack point. These problems may not be very conspicuous when playing against weak teams, but when encountering strong teams, especially head coaches with great experience on the other side, these problems will definitely be caught by the opponent and taken advantage of.
Under the conditions of limited personnel, the Chinese women's volleyball team is also looking for a solution. First, it is to liberate as much as possible from Li Yingying 's first pass task, including her part of the back row rounds, and directly prepare for the back attack. But the Brazilian women's volleyball team is also very experienced. As long as they are not killed in one attack, they will also deal with the ball to Li Yingying to prevent her from forming a counterattack. In order to liberate the attack power, the Chinese women's volleyball team also developed the rear attack of Wang Yunhuang . But the first pass is not guaranteed, and it is easier for the opponent to arrange blocking and defense based on the main attack alone.
blocking and defense are not adaptable enough
In this year's World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Brazilian women's volleyball team 2-3. In that game, the Brazilian team's main supporter Kissi This game became a substitute for two points for three points, and Tenera became the starting supporter. Obviously, the Chinese women's volleyball team did not know much about this opponent. The restrictions on her throughout the game were limited, and Tenara scored the highest 22 points tied with Li Yingying.

. For the back flight of the veteran deputy attacker Caroline who returned to this World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team's restrictions were not successful enough. She lost 13 of her 19 deductions, and her success rate was close to 70%. Whether it was Tenera or Caroline, these two unfamiliar opponents, created great trouble for the Chinese women's volleyball team. At the same time, the Brazilian women's volleyball team is not superior in height, but they scored points through a large number of thugs, which also reminds the Chinese women's volleyball team's blocking hand shape needs to be paid attention to.

Although the group stage has not been completed, the three European teams in Group A, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium have all locked in the rematch spots ahead of schedule. Judging from the current situation, after 4 teams in the two groups entered Group E, among the eight teams, except for the two groups, there is not much competitiveness in the fourth place, the remaining 6 teams have similar results, and the competition in the quarterfinals will be very fierce.
