Noticed that Zhang Changning was enlisted as Cohesion (Opposite) on the 2018 training list. With the arrival of Li Yingying for the main attack, I wonder if Lang decided to move Zhang to opposite because of her better block against the opposing side. In my opinion, Zhang does well in that position especially with a questionable Yang Fangxu, the regression of Gong Xiangyu, and an aging Zeng Chunlei. Seems like there is no new upcoming opposite talent coming soon just yet. Still waiting for Chen Peiyan to improve her skills.
Will this be the starting lineup we will be seeing in coming Women's World Championship?
OH: Zhu Ting, Li Yingying
OPP: Zhang Changning
MB: Yuan Xinyue, Yan Ni
S: Ding Xia
L: Lin Li
