From the World League to the National Championship Chinese men's volleyball team hug new hope

From the 2022 World Men's Volleyball League, which ended on July 25th, Beijing time, to the National Men's Volleyball Championships in Jiangmen, Guangdong, men's volleyball teams were very lively during this period. From international to domestic competitions, we can see that the Paris Olympic cycle has new hope and old problems.

In the early morning of July 25, Beijing time, after the competition and the finals, the World Men's Volleyball League ended in 2022. For the first time in France, the World Men's Volleyball League champion was won. The United States won the runner -up after 3 years. Poland has won the bronze medal for three consecutive times. The Chinese men's volleyball team played again after 3 years, ranking 13th with 3 wins, 9 losses and 9 points in the sub -station competition. Not only is the challenge team successfully relegated, the 13th performance is also the highest ranking of the Chinese team since the restructuring of the World League in 2018.

With its performance in the World League, the Chinese men's volleyball team ranked to the 19th place, and the Polish men's volleyball team, the French men's volleyball team, and the Brazilian men's volleyball team occupied the top three. At present, China ranks third after Iran and Japan in Asia.

The Chinese men's volleyball team led by Wu Sheng is a young team and a hopeful team. Many of them have participated in the World League for the first time. Several main players on the field are under 25 years old. They have excellent physical fitness. In the face of strong enemies, they are not afraid of the field. They defeated the World Power Brigade Brazil 3-0 and played a high level. In particular, Zhang Jingzhang, who was born in December 1999, has outstanding bouncing capabilities and offensive capabilities. It is also the first scorer of the Chinese team of the World League.

In the past two years, with the importance of physical training, the physical fitness of Chinese men's volleyball players has been improving. Recently, many young people with outstanding physical fitness have emerged in the local teams of preparing for competitions and participating in the National Championship. Many of them rose into the adult team after ending the National Games Youth Competition mission last year. For example, the main attack Li Lei, born in the Shandong team in 2001, reached 2.01 meters high. His serve and deduction were very aggressive. In the current National Championships, the Shandong team played well in the group stage, winning the top two in Shanghai and Beijing, and easily advanced to the quarterfinals with a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. From Zhang Jingzhang to Li Lei, from the international arena to the domestic arena, they are the new hope of the Chinese men's volleyball in the Paris Olympic cycle. If the Chinese men's volleyball team wants to continuously improve, newcomers need to be constantly emerging.

However, while seeing hope, the exposure problem is also very prominent, especially the shortcomings of serve. The Chinese men's volleyball team lost to Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, and even compared with the Asian team Japan, Iran and other teams, the gap in the service technology was obvious. At present, the fastest goal speed of men's volleyball players exceeds 130 kilometers/h. In the world league, the speed of the world's strong team's strong jumper is also over 110, 120 kilometers/h, but Chinese players can rarely do it. The teams that are participating in the National Championship in Jiangmen have tested the speed of serving during the preparation training process for more than a month, and the good player was only at 100-109 km/h. This speed is difficult to compete with the world's strong team. In the men's volleyball movement, the starting of the first attack is the beginning of the attack. Driving blocking through the serve is the most common technical tactics in the men's volleyball movement. Insufficient serving levels will also affect the pick -up technology. For a long time, he has not been exposed to high levels of serve. Occasionally, you will fall into passive on the receiving goal. The Chinese men's volleyball team served the strong team on the World League. A pass of the card wheel often appeared, especially in the beginning of the game. With the progress of the game, the players gradually adapted to the fast jumper of European and American players, and the volatility gradually decreased.

After three years to participate in the World League, the Chinese men's volleyball team has gained a lot, and the experience of the competition is crucial. Although no national players participated in the National Championships in Jiangmen, the teams also tested the recent training level through the competition and saw the direction of the next team's improvement.
