Why is it said that Li Yingying biography can determine how far China women's volleyball team can go in Tokyo Olympic Games?

As the defending champion of Tokyo Olympic Games, China women's volleyball team will accept strong challenges from Italian, American, Serbian and Brazilian teams, and it is very difficult to win the championship. So why is it that Li Yingying's level of one pass guarantee can even determine how far China women's volleyball team can go in the Olympic Games? There are three reasons:

First, China women's volleyball team has always been strong in the main attack direction, and Zhu Ting has passed the lifeline on the diagonal for the team.

Different from European and American teams, China women's volleyball team has always been very strong in the main attack. Like what? Five consecutive championships? Lang Ping in the period? Golden generation? China's attackers were world-class during the reign of the King and even now. Because China's attack point is in Zhu Ting, it is more likely to be ensured by a small diagonal attack. 20 16 Rio Olympic Games, China women's volleyball team has Hui Ruoqi, Zhang Changning and other players with outstanding support ability to jointly support Zhu Ting's diagonal line.

Especially against such strong teams as Brazil and Serbia and Montenegro, the team completely liberated the pressure from Zhu Ting and made it concentrate on attack, which achieved very good results. The small attacker took on most of the first pass guarantee tasks, which gave full play to Zhu Ting's offensive power, which also gave China women's volleyball team the capital to compete with the strong teams.

Second, if Li Yingying can't keep a pass, Zhu Ting will disperse more offensive energy.

At present, there is still a certain gap between Li Yingying and Hui Ruoqi and Zhang Changning. If Li Yingying's first pass can't hold up in a big competition like the Olympic Games, then Zhu Ting is bound to undertake more first pass tasks. Zhu Ting's passing will have an impact on her attack.

At the 20 18 World Championships, China women's volleyball team lost to Italy twice in a row. It was precisely because Li Yingying couldn't get a pass at that time that Zhu Ting was in charge of the team's attack after receiving a large number of passes, so that Zhu Ting was exhausted and prone on the ground after the game. If this happens in Tokyo Olympic Games, China women's volleyball team will definitely not be able to defend its title too far.

Thirdly, the spread level of Li Yingying affected by the epidemic for the first time has not been tested by international competitions.

Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, FIVB also cancelled most of the games. Li Yingying, who had been training before, should have further improved her passing skills, but she couldn't find the problem without the actual test. Last year, Li Yingying also began to try to catch the ball in six rounds, and the result was quite good. However, considering the lack of aggression in domestic league service, the reference level of domestic games is of little value.

One more thing, Li Yingying, as the main attack substitute, usually plays in the difficult stage of China team, that is, after Zhang Changning's attack is blocked, she is replaced. At this time, Li Yingying should not only ensure the breakthrough of the front row attack, but also accept the impact of the opponent's serve, both the offensive and defensive links are quite stressful and difficult.

If Li Yingying can't hold on and Zhang Changning is replaced, it will be even more difficult for him to be qualified for the fourth attack on Liu Xiaotong. Li Yingying, as the third main attack substitute, it is still very important for China to play Zhu Ting's cross protection and attack in the front row.
