I find this interesting though because when you watch the international competitions, the Chinese team to me seem slower? They have fairly good technique but compared to the USA, Italy etc they are incredibly slower, so I don't really know whether its because they are always tired form their training? Even the Russian team of the world championships this year seemed quicker around the court. Dont get me wrong, they are good athletes, but you'd think with that amount of training..... anyway, just my observations
you are right...
China NT has no good serve reception to maintain their high speed attack combinations as well as our nanny setter - Wei Qiuyue who is always wandering on courts with slow paces. China didnt play like a team, but personal courages. Ma Yuewen is the only one kept a high attack efficiency when the reception is okay for Wei to handle.
what the hell happened on FIVB statistics figures. Wei doesnt deserve the best setter of world champ. at all.
