Results for Round 15

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Henan Hitech vs Guangdong Evergrande 0:3 (5:25, 16:25, 15:25)
Shandong Laishang Bank vs Sichuan University 1:3 (19:25, 21:25, 26:24, 16:25)
Tianjin Bridgestone vs Liaoning Huachen Auto. 3:1 (25:19, 22:25, 25:22, 26:24)
Jiangsu China Eastern Nonferrous vs Army August 1st 3:1 (19:25, 25:22, 25:21, 25:21)
Zhejiang Kaiyuan Tourism vs Shanghai Dunlop 3:2 (28:26, 26:24, 21:25, 15:25, 15:9)

the most critical match in this round should be Shandong home against Sichuan University, because the both teams are in dropping zone but has good expectation to save themselves from dropping next season and the winner will have an advantage on temporary ranking.

finally the guest team Sichuan University 3-1 beat Shandong and raised to 7th place. But they are not safe enough from dropping because they will face to Guangdong Evergrande, Tianjin Bridgestone and Shanghai Dunlop *(the 3 giants) respectively and have little chance to win any of them.

Quote from Bartek

The University of Aeronautics and Astronautics- sounds very good Could You write more about the Club? The Students from the University play there or it is only the Sponsor?

BUAA short for Beihang Univ. of Aeronautics & Astronautics

the team is a representitive of University power and the main roster are all professional student players. apart from getting involve with volleyball, they are studying on their own academic fields as well. This season, 5 other players are transferred to BUAA to strenghten their competiveness.

Finally BUAA finished at 5th place in League B and secure their position in League B for next season (2011/2012 season).

It's really bad that a really nice league like this don't give us a lot of infos.

Pappi, what about He Qi? She leave Novara in 2005 and ritired. She was head coach of Yunnan (National League B). Is she still head coach? I know Zhang Xian played there; but now she is in Liaoning roster, is it?

Another question: here there's written League started in 1995 http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/C…se_di_pallavolo_femminile ; what did players do before with their clubs?

I would like to explain the second part.....

China National Professional League construction concept started in 1995, the our first ever League took place in 1996-1997 season.

China sports administration and construction policy is different from most other contries-----"National system", which means all sub-stated and provincial resources should be integrated and served for National Interests. National system of sports are almost the same.

Before 1995, we could call it pre-league times. We didnt have really volleyball clubs, but provincial teams. The aim of all the provincial teams are to provide talented players to National Team for International games *(of course the Olympic Games are the ultimate focus), as well as to win the National Games (ever 4 years, in the year after Olympics). Training and competing are the main tasks to the provincial teams. the top dream of young players are being a member of NT.

after 1995, we could define it super league times. China NT did not make any progress during 1990-1994 circle. Disadvantages of National System are becoming the resistance to sports achievements. Overwhelming load of finance expension and low efficiency of talents cultivation are both going against National economic development and competitive spirit of sports.

In order to boost sports communication between provincial section and professional player employment, marketization and internationalization of China volleyball gradually become a neccessary reform for China Sports.

Football and Basketball are both earlier than volleyball to enter the marketization era.

to be a volleyball player, could be ones job to work with a real team. sponsors would like to support the sports team, inducing foreign players to come to work for the team and induce more fancy and joy to the people who would like to watch the performance. many talented players could be found and be well treated by different teams even NT through National super league and many other tournaments (National Volleyball championships, National Volleyball Grand Prix and so on).
