  • Cai Bin... that was a mistake off the bat.
    New team looks strong from Montreux. Wang Yimei, although a very dynamic player to watch, has continuously regressed under the coaching of Cai Bin. He took an amazing attacker and made her.... well, bad.
    Now if only they'd ditch Xunli for .. you know.. someone who doesn't choke. Li Juan is the closest thing China has to replace Zhou Suhong in terms of defense and offence. Having Li Juan play opposite is the only way they can afford to put players like Wang Yimei as OH. It's funny - in one showing China's new coach did better then Cai Bing did since he took over. Also, starting Wang Qian over Zhang ... THANK GOODNESS. Zhang is perhaps the most overrated Li Bero in China. Even on paper she does not stack up to other NT Liberos. Her serve receive is iffy at best for her position. Teams served to her on purpose... haha
