Chapter 236: The gap is obvious

The starting lineup of the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team in today's game looks very strong, at least in the eyes of most of the media and experts, this lineup composed of three national players plus two veterans and a Goryeo foreign aid is not something that the average age of the Yangtze women's volleyball team can resist.

With the injuries of Li Yun and Liao Qing, the average age of the starting lineup of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team has dropped again, and Ma Dongmei, who is about to celebrate her twenty-fourth birthday, has become the oldest player in the starters.

Before the game, people were generally optimistic that the Ganjiang Longhua women's volleyball team advanced to the semifinals of the League Cup, the reason is because the Yangtze River women's volleyball team has just suffered a heavy defeat in the AFC Champions League, and the state has definitely not recovered, and there is also a gap between the lineups of the other two teams. Their lineup means that they are basically ready to give up the league game against the Shuzhong Golden Sun women's volleyball team three days later.

However, when the first game officially started, the Ganjiang fans present were a little depressed, because it was the Yangtze River women's volleyball team that led from the beginning.

At the beginning of the first game, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team won the right to serve, which is the most commonly used start for them now, which is to grab the serve, and then use Ma Dongmei or other players' sidespin serve to take advantage, and then slowly grind with the opponent.

Today, Ma Dongmei was in the front court at the beginning, and the serve was Ai Xiaoxiao, the setter.

Ai Xiaoxiao performed extremely well in the last game with the Beihai women's volleyball team, her comprehensiveness and excellent ball sense are comparable to Ma Dongmei, although there is a big gap with Ma Dongmei in terms of physical fitness and height, but as a supplement to the team, her role is now very large.

Ai Xiaoxiao's sidespin serve is not fast, but the angle is very tricky, flying directly towards the corner of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team's half.

This serve with strong spin made a pass in the back row of Ganjiang panic, and they didn't expect that the other side actually had another player besides Ma Dongmei who had mastered the sidespin serve.

The poorly prepared Ganjiang women's volleyball national player actually made a mistake when receiving the ball, and the ball deflected after making contact with her arm and flew out sideways.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team took the lead.

Next, Ai Xiaoxiao's service round lasted four times before it passed, and at this time, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team was already leading 3-1.

It is undeniable that being selected for the national team is a recognition of a player's strength, but this does not mean that being selected for the national team must be better than other players.

And in the current Ganjiang women's volleyball team, although the national team is back, the shadow of defeat in the Olympic Games still hangs over them.

The poor performance of the women's volleyball team in the Olympics has been criticized by almost everyone, although they were blatantly "yin" in the game with the host, but in the group stage before, the national team women's volleyball team was because of two consecutive losses that caused them to meet the host in advance.

Although the skillful, fast and smart style of play adhered to by the women's volleyball team of the national team this time has certain tactical superiority, it has repeatedly fallen into disadvantage in the face of the game style of European and American teams, and there is no momentum and style that swept the world volleyball world back then.

And because Cai Sihong was also born in the Ganjiang youth training, the four Ganjiang women's volleyball players were criticized by many people at the beginning of the formation of the national team, and finally Cai Sihong made these four players selected under pressure, but now, Cai Sihong herself is still difficult to protect, and these four national players of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team have also suffered from various criticisms.

Therefore, although the Ganjiang women's volleyball team seems to have a strong lineup in this game, when it comes to the mentality of the game, they really can't compare with the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

With the development of the first game, the performance of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team became more and more sluggish, but the young Yangtze women's volleyball team played a very good and wonderful match.

Xu Yunxin was still arranged in the secondary offensive position in this game, and she did a good job in the secondary offensive position in the AFC Champions League, although she failed to effectively defend against Valenna? Pochesky's smash, but her running position and strong attack in the secondary offensive position can effectively attract a lot of blocking attention for Ma Dongmei, so in today's game, Wang Lei once again put Xu Yunxin in the secondary offensive position.

Xu Yunxin did not live up to Wang Lei's optimism, she actively ran in the secondary offensive position, not only could attack by herself, but also opened up space for Ma Dongmei, so that the blocking net of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team could not be effectively formed at all.

Ma Dongmei uses her experience advantage to not blindly attack, compared with before the injury, her smash lacks strength and speed, but now the angle and rotation of her smash are becoming more and more tricky, and sometimes the back row players of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team look at the ball and sigh with a light hanging, because Ma Dongmei's drop point is too accurate, and the back row players of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team seem to be able to receive it, but every time they pounce, they find that the ball almost falls to the floor with the tips of their fingers.

25-18, the Ganjiang women's volleyball team lost without temper in the first game.

After entering the second game, the slightly adjusted Ganjiang women's volleyball team finally found a certain feeling, their fast attack also played impressively, and once Ma Dongmei rotated to the back row, the Yangtze River's blocking net was never able to form an effective result, and the Ganjiang women's volleyball team took advantage of the opportunity of Ma Dongmei in the back row at the beginning of the second game to establish a preliminary advantage.

However, then Wang Lei unexpectedly replaced Ma Dongmei directly, replaced with foreign aid Lucia to strengthen the defense of the back row, and at the same time replaced Liu Jiani, a teenager who is only 17 years old this year, in front of the net.

Liu Jiani is one of the products of the Yangtze River women's volleyball youth training, after Wang Lei took office, the half-dead youth training camp has been newly developed, many young players waiting for opportunities in the youth training camp have come to the first team, and Liu Jiani is one of the more outstanding ones, Liu Jiani, who is 1.94 meters tall, is not tall in absolute height, but her excellent physical fitness makes up for her disadvantage in height, in addition, she is only 17 years old now, there is still some room for growth, and the future can be expected.

Liu Jiani has played in the previous AFC Champions League and the league, although her performance is very average, but relying on her good talent, she is still quite outstanding in blocking the net.

After Liu Jiani came on the court, she changed to the secondary offensive position to be responsible for blocking the net, freeing Xu Yunxin to play the main offensive position.

Wang Lei's substitution has received obvious results, Liu Jiani's blocking is fast and decisive, although there are sometimes certain defects in hand shape and movement, but her bounce speed and bounce height alone can pose a threat to the attack of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team tightly bit the score and did not let the Ganjiang women's volleyball team open the difference.

At the last moment of the second game, Wang Lei was replaced by Ma Dongmei again, and this time Ma Dongmei was still in the back row.

Ma Dongmei helped the team stabilize the situation as soon as she came on the court, and her back-row attack was basically unguarded in China.

However, after the score was tied at 23, the young Liu Jiani made a relatively low-level mistake, and her blocking net fell to her own half twice in a row, and the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can be said to have lost a good game.

Liu Jiani, who made a mistake, did not have tears like ordinary little girls, but actively admitted her mistakes with her sisters, and then hoped to continue to get opportunities.

Wang Lei didn't have much criticism for this little girl who was good at seizing opportunities, on the contrary, she still let Liu Jiani play in the third game.

After playing the first two games, the Ganjiang women's volleyball team did not show the strength of absolute transcendence, and the girls of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team also compared the current opponent with the Shengshi women's volleyball team in the AFC Champions League in their hearts.

The playing style of the Shengshi women's volleyball team makes the young people of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team feel very helpless, people just play like that, there are not many changes, but they just can't prevent it, and although the Ganjiang women's volleyball team has many changes in offense, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can also do it if they want to defend it, which is a very obvious gap.

After entering the third game, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, which touched the way of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team, began to occupy an advantage, and Liu Jiani, a little girl, moved actively sideways in front of the net, and with Zhou Lingling and Xu Yunxin, the offensive efficiency of the Ganjiang women's volleyball team began to decrease.

Ma Dongmei plays the role of the team's anchor in the back row, her all-round allows her to be competent in multiple positions, and she can play her own attacking ability in each position, which may not be valued in other teams, but it is very important in the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team, which played with confidence, completely collapsed the Ganjiang women's volleyball team in the third game, and several national players still did not get out of the shadow of the failure of the Olympic Games.

25 to 16, a nine-point gap is definitely a big difference for the Ganjiang women's volleyball team.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team, which has established a winning momentum, did not have any accidents in the fourth game, and they still maintained a very serious attitude towards the game under Wang Lei's adjustment.

The opponent of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team is really not going well today, the players lack confidence, the core is in crisis, and in the fourth game, their old captain, the setter, also suffered a recurrence of injury.

In the end, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team defeated the Ganjiang women's volleyball team with a score of 3-1 in this league cup eight-in-four game, and the Ganjiang women's volleyball team, which was originally looking forward to making a difference in the league cup, could only accept the result that this season was about to be fruitless.
