2022men’s volleyball Asian Cup ended in Thailand on the 14th. The Chinese team defeated Japan 3-0 in the final and won the Asian Cup again after a decade.

Because the Asian Cup does not belong to the points race of the Olympic Games, as the world men’s volleyball championship approaches day by day, Iran and Japan, which are ranked higher in the world, have sent more second-tier teams. For example, Iran has sent U20 players to participate in the competition. However, the Chinese team went to Serbia for training immediately after the end of the world men’s volleyball league and held a teaching match with the Croatia team. It also sent a full team to participate in the Asian Cup to do the final “warm-up” for the World Championship “.

The lack of experience in the competition is a realistic problem faced by the Chinese men’s volleyball team during the Paris Olympic cycle. The participation of the main force in the Asian Cup not only tested the team’s training results in Europe, at the same time, it has trained the technical and tactical abilities of the Chinese men’s volleyball team under different lineups.

Compared with the lineup of the world men’s volleyball league, in order to solve the problem of “The depth of the bench”, the Chinese team made adjustments in the main attack, the deputy attack, the match and the position of the free man. Zhang Zhejia, Dai Qingyao, Qu zongshuai from Shanghai men’s volleyball team and Wang Bin, the “post-00s” teenager of Zhejiang men’s volleyball team, were selected into the Asian Cup team.

During the competition, coach Wu Sheng made frequent adjustments to the lineup, and the deputy attack Zhang Zhejia and the successor Dai Qingyao played an excellent role in both sides of the attack and defense, wang Bin, the younger main attack, also gained more playing time in some games, and gained gains in serve and strong attacks.

Peng Shikun, the deputy attack of “After 00”, has excellent physical quality. After the exercise of overseas leagues and leagues, he has made remarkable progress in all aspects. Although Li Yongzhen, another deputy attack, didn’t have much time to play, compared with the previous World League competition, it improved in the technical link and significantly improved the stability of serve.

The main attack Zhang Jingquan is the core of the Chinese team’s attack. His excellent explosive force and judgment on the ball make him the scoring king of the Chinese team. As the competition went on, the opponent made more targeted arrangements for Zhang Jingzhang, and he often became the main target of the opponent’s serve in the back row. Zhang Jingyan said that he played so many international competitions in the first year, and his personal goal was to fight out confidence first.

“I want to practice my first pass level, including the things of ‘next three roads’, in the process of playing against the strong team.” Zhang Jingyi said.

Strong ability and confidence

different from the World League competition and the World Championship, the comprehensive strength of the Chinese team ranks first in the Asian team. On the one hand, the lineup of the Chinese team has been strengthened, making it easier to adjust both sides of attack and defense and tactics. On the other hand, the physical quality of Chinese team players is relatively excellent in the Asian team, and the offensive speed and the strength of the network are excellent.

Wu Sheng once said after the World League game that there is still a big gap in physical quality between the team and the strong teams in Europe and America through actual combat. During the preparation for the world championship, it is necessary to strengthen physical fitness and strength training. Judging from the performance of the Asian Cup, the progress of Chinese team players in this aspect is obvious to all.

The Chinese team in this Asian Cup is divided into the same group as the Chinese Taipei team and the Balin team. The Chinese team defeated the opponent by 3:1 and advanced to the top eight as the first in the group. In the rematch, they defeated Pakistan and Iran by 3:0 and 3:1 respectively. After winning South Korea at 3:2 in the semi-final, the Chinese men’s volleyball team defeated Japan at 3:0 and won the championship with a total victory.

The Chinese men’s volleyball team has reversed and won many times under the condition that the score is backward and facing the game point and game point, which has improved the morale of the team.

Wu Sheng said after the final, “the most satisfying thing this time is that the team will not give up in the case of backwardness and adversity, and finally take the competition down. This is the valuable experience we have gained.”

In addition, Zhang Jingyi won the most valuable player and the best main attack award in this competition. Zhang Zhejia and Peng Shikun won the Best Deputy attack award. The finalists of the three also help to enhance the players’ self-confidence.

“After the National Games, I haven’t played for a year because of injury. Getting the best counterattack this time is also a kind of affirmation for yourself.” Zhang Zhejia said, “the Asian Cup is the last competition before the World Championship, and it is also the demonstration and inspection of our team’s training results. Through the competition, we have more cooperation in techniques and tactics, more tacit understanding has been generated, which is the biggest gain.”

Find problems to make up for the short board

this Asian Cup is the Chinese team winning the championship again after ten years. While delighted, we cannot ignore the objective factors that the strong Asian teams did not send the main players to participate in the competition, the deficiencies exposed in the competition also need to be improved.

Wu Sheng pointed out many times that the players had problems such as inadequate action and inattention in the game, especially in the case of leading, they often made mistakes in sending points or were suddenly Kalen, insufficient stability and large fluctuation.

In addition, the serve and the receiving link have always been the first problem for the Chinese team to solve. The team often has ups and downs in this link on key points and shots, and the whole game or even the whole game is ruined.

“I think there are still some (problems) that are not mature in technology. In terms of personal ability, there are still many problems in serve and receiving the serve, and the stability of receiving the serve is still ups and downs.” Wu Sheng said, “it must be a little effort on these two major items to find some ways to further improve the receiving and serving.”

After the Asian Cup, the Chinese team will return to Serbia to adjust the preparations for the World Championships to be held in Poland and Slovenia from August 26 to September 11. At present, the Chinese men’s volleyball team has announced the list of 22 People’s Congress of the world championships, and the final list of 14 people will be announced before the World Championships.
