Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team failed to achieve a comeback in the second game of the Volleyball Super League semi-finals and lost 0-3 to the defending champion Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team and missed the final. Compared with the fierce competition in the first round, the second round was a bit indifferent. Except for its performance in the opening stage, Jiangsu was suppressed by Tianjin at the rest of the time and had no power to fight back.
In this campaign, Shi Hairong made personnel adjustments after losing the first game, and Diao Linyu was replaced by Sun Yan. The purpose of Shi Hairong replacing Sun Yan was to activate Wu Mengjie. When Diao Linyu was on the court, although Wu Mengjie was able to spike the ball, the rhythm was not smooth and the efficiency was negative. After replacing Sun Yan, things returned to normal. Wu Mengjie made 13 of 33 dunks in this game, made 3 mistakes, and was blocked.
As in the first game, Wu Mengjie showed good potential, but there is still a lot of room for improvement, such as first pass ability and control of his own mistakes. Diao Linyu's passing was a little messy, especially when the first pass was impacted. The setter is the brains of the team. The mobilization of the players' condition and the control of the team's rhythm all rely on the setter. If Diao Linyu is in chaos, the team will not know how to play.
Gong Xiangyu scored 26 dunks, made 10 of 10 mistakes, and was blocked in 3 blocks. He scored 2 blocks and contributed 12 points. Gong Xiangyu's spiking efficiency is not high, but the main reason is that he is dragged down by the secondary attack. Gong Xiangyu is not a player who is good at attacking power. She uses her golf intelligence to score points. When she spikes the ball, she looks for the opponent's loopholes and changes the dunk to a drop to make the opponent flip over.
However, after returning to the Jiangsu team, Gong Xiangyu became the main offensive player, and many times he attacked openly. Since the two secondary attackers Wan Ziyue and Yang Jia are useless, Tianjin's blocking goal is very clear, which is to focus on guarding Gong Xiangyu and then watch Wu Mengjie die. During the game, Li Yingying, Yuan Xinyue or Wang Yuanyuan were very successful in supervising Gong Xiangyu. After all, they are all teammates who know everything about him.
In addition to being familiar with each other, it is also related to the fact that Wan Ziyue and Yang Jia cannot play a restraining role. Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan did not accompany Jiangsu's secondary attack at all, and went straight to Gong Xiangyu in the second position. According to technical statistics, Wan Ziyue made 2 out of 9 dunks and made 2 errors, while Yang Jia made 0 out of 6 dunks, which means that the two secondary attackers both had zero spiking efficiency in the second round. In addition, in terms of blocking, Wan Ziyue scored 1 point and Yang Jia scored 1 point. They blocked 2 balls in 3 games.
Whether it is offense or blocking, whether it is Wan Ziyue or Yang Jia, the data is not good. With such data, no experienced secondary attacker would be able to keep an eye on them. Wu Han replaced Tang Xin in the second game and became the only bright spot. Wu Han was blocked in 1 of 10 dunks out of 18, with a smash success rate of about 60%. This is also the reason why the score with Tianjin was tight in the second and third games. After losing in the semifinals, the Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team will compete with Beijing for third place.
