Back on the same starting line, tomorrow night, the defending champion Tianjin Women’s Volleyball Team will compete with the Shanghai Women’s Volleyball Team in the third round of the Volleyball Super League finals. Can Li Yingying, who is more domineering and confident, continue the firepower of the previous game and activate the whole team? As the main force of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, what kind of exciting confrontation will she have with the national team substitute and Shanghai women’s volleyball captain Zhong Hui? Fans are looking forward to it.
In the first game of the finals held at the Luwan Stadium last week, the Tianjin Women’s Volleyball Team suffered its first defeat of the season. The young Shanghai Women’s Volleyball Team, acting as an attacker, caught the Tianjin team off guard and won 3-1. Without stopping, the two sides came to Tianjin last Saturday to start the second round of competition. As a result, the Tianjin team defeated the Shanghai Women’s Volleyball Team 3-0 at home. In the best-of-five series, the two sides tied 1-1.
Li Yingying, the main attacker of the national team at position 4, took over almost all of the Tianjin team’s attacks. Under her impact, the Shanghai Women’s Volleyball Team’s defense was repeatedly torn apart.
In the 2017-2018 season, Li Yingying, who was only 17 years old, could be said to be “at her peak when she debuted.” The Tianjin team created a “one-point attack” tactic around her. Today, Li Yingying has a more holistic view. In last Saturday’s game, she not only scored a game-high 24 points, but also stabilized the morale of the team and helped her teammates regain confidence.
At the beginning of the new year in 2024, she faced the past head-on. What saddened her the most was the Tokyo Olympics. The Waterloo-like defeat made her cry uncontrollably after the game. After the Tokyo Olympics, head coach Lang Ping sent her a message: “You will definitely become stronger when you stand up again!”
The more powerful Li Yingying gradually grew into the core figure of the Chinese women’s volleyball team last year. At the same time, she also received invitations from wealthy foreign clubs, but she chose to stay with the Tianjin team.
After the first defeat, Li Yingying said frankly: “We were not prepared for the difficulties before and were overwhelmed by the Shanghai team in the away game. This is not a technical problem, but a problem of mentality and thinking.” After identifying the problem, the Tianjin team won in the second round The biggest change is the mental state, and Li Yingying’s driving role is very obvious.
In the past, Li Yingying has played against many of the world’s best attackers. Compared with them, Li Yingying feels that the biggest gap lies in psychological adjustment. Now, when the more energetic Shanghai Women’s Volleyball Team acts as an attacker, it forces out a stronger Li Yingying and Tianjin team. The so-called growth is not only at the technical level, but also at the psychological level. “Stand up again and you will become stronger.” Li Yingying was in high spirits.
