Chapter 303: An Unusual World Championship (1)
There was a very brief opening ceremony at the World Championships in Denver, and they had to keep it short because the little leader in charge of the opening ceremony had already been dismissed the day before the opening.
Along with the hapless leader, the executive chairman of the organizing committee of the World Championships organizers was dismissed, and although he dragged the North American Volleyball Federation into the water at the last moment, he still could not escape the fact that he was also a scapegoat.
After a brief opening ceremony, the opening match began immediately, with the opening match between the host nation and the opponents in the group, and this time it was no exception, with the United States as the host team playing the opening match against the Serbian women's volleyball team.
However, before the opening game, the Serbian women's volleyball team that appeared first had nothing, but there was a lot of boos when the host team played, since the North American Volleyball Federation was dragged into the water, even the American women's volleyball team itself has not escaped the people's blame, after all, their performance in recent years has declined too seriously, and the team itself has frequently broken out scandals.
Now add to that the deliberate harshness of the away team to help the home team, and it can be said that the United States team participating in this World Championship has indeed become the target of public criticism.
Although there are many European teams and even Asian teams that have also done the same thing as the North American Volleyball Federation, in comparison, the one that has done so obviously and without scruples is probably North America, and they are indeed a little too bold to say.
Now that the East Window is happening, the American women's volleyball team is naturally under pressure, who calls them profiteers, and their people are not the only ones who make things difficult for the Republic, including the Serbian women's volleyball team and the Dongying women's volleyball team, some teams have been harassed by the organizers, but the latter have chosen to be patient, but Wang Lei suddenly toughened up.
The host country under great pressure played very badly in the opening game, and the state of the players was even more sluggish to a certain extent, they continued to make mistakes in the game, and there was no tacit understanding at all, and even more importantly, the team was also constantly contradictory, the setter obviously made a fastball gesture, but the main attack insisted on a strong attack, and the captain Fleming completely lost his role.
Team USA head coach Stephen? Li sat motionless in his seat, as if the whole game had nothing to do with him, in fact, he himself knew that he really had little to do with the game, after this World Championships, he would also become a scapegoat and be dismissed, and deliberately making things difficult for the women's volleyball team of the Republic was actually caused by Stephen at the earliest? Lee brought it up, but now because the World Championships are about to start, and the smart people know that they will replace Stephen now? Lee's decision to become the head coach of the U.S. team was purely self-inflicted, so in the end, it was only up to Stephen? Lee himself held on to the end.
Talk about Stephen? Although Li has a surname similar to the East, he is actually an out-and-out Anglo-Saxon, and perhaps it is the hidden pride of the former "sun never sets" empire in his heart that makes him do unreliable things.
3-0, the United States women's volleyball team, which was once the world's top women's volleyball team, was easily defeated by the Serbian women's volleyball team with a score of 3-0 as the host, and the American women's volleyball team scored 47 points in three games.
The second day after the opening game, the World Championships will be in full swing, and the Republic women's volleyball team will also appear today, their opponents are strong opponents, although they have not played in the World Champions Cup before, but they have been the strong rivals of the Republic women's volleyball team - the Brazilian women's volleyball team.
The Brazilian women's volleyball team and the Republic women's volleyball team have a long history of grievances, although the two sides are thousands of miles apart, but in the previous international competitions, the repeated collisions between the Republic women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team are the wonderful excitement of Mars hitting the earth, and the two sides have gradually formed insoluble grievances in these fierce competitions.
For example, in the World Championships eight years ago, the Republic women's volleyball team defeated strong opponents in the group stage, and finally locked the top spot in the group one round in advance, but the Brazilian women's volleyball team at that time was not in good shape, and it had been hovering around four or five in the group stage.
However, the Republic women's volleyball team played as a substitute in the final round of the group stage, and the players also began to release water intentionally or unintentionally, which eventually led to the Brazilian women's volleyball team being eliminated in the group stage of the World Championships.
The Brazilian women's volleyball team complained to the international rehearsal after the game, they believed that the Republic women's volleyball team played match-fixing and tacit ball, although the Republic women's volleyball team was also punished by the FIVB, but the Brazilian women's volleyball team's complaint was also rejected, and the FIVB succeeded in muddying the waters again.
Since this incident, the Brazilian women's volleyball team has threatened to fight with the Republic women's volleyball team.
At the London Olympics six years ago, the Brazilian women's volleyball team met the Republic women's volleyball team again, this time in the semifinals.
The Brazilian women's volleyball team played like a rainbow in the game, avenging the shame of being played with two years ago, and it was after that Olympics that the women's volleyball team of the Republic began to decline.
It can be said that there are indeed very big grievances between the Republic women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team, so the FIVB specially arranged for the Republic women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team to meet in the round when arranging the match for this World Championships, so as to make a good start for this World Championships. But everyone knows that in this World Championships, the encounter between the American women's volleyball team and the Republic women's volleyball team will be the most eye-catching game.
However, the Republic women's volleyball team, especially Wang Lei, does not attach importance to the fight with the American women's volleyball team, but the opponent in front of them is their biggest enemy now.
A strong and complete offensive line, a sharp and tenacious defensive line, perhaps the South American people are naturally full of love for ball-like objects, in short, the Brazilian women's team does have the strength of the world's top women's volleyball team in other aspects, except for the somewhat monotonous tactical aspect.
Brazil is a country where they are excellent in all three sports, and beach volleyball and beach soccer are also two of the most popular civilian sports in this country.
With the foundation of sand volleyball, the Brazilian women's volleyball team does not lack top stars and players, but at the same time, this also makes their volleyball tactics and team chemistry have a lot of problems.
