China NT 2022

Quote from zhutingfan

I have a bad suspicion that the A team might go to the Asian games and the B team will go to WCh. After the olympics all the official media was asking "what are your plans for the Asian Games etc" and not "what are your plans for the World Championships", which would be a shame because nobody except for the "political elite" of the CVA (and that is for their resume-padding) wants to see the A-team minus Zhu play a Korean/Japanese B team in the finals, after which they're gonna delude themselves and get smacked again in 2024.

I can sort of understand it because Zhu's wrist is not expected to get better in 9 months and China made it to the podium in 2014/18, but really... CVA has that little confidence in the other players?

I heard about this as well. A couple months ago Li Quanqiang said the NT's goal this cycle is Asian Games 2022 and Paris 2024, everyone was commenting "why are they sending a B Team to World Championships?".

imo China can send a strong B/C that can win the Asian Games. For WCH, without Zhu and possibly without Zhang (I'm not sure what her recovery timetable is) they won't make it far, but their players could use that experience for development. Wang YY, Gao Yi, Yang Hanyu could use WCH as practice rather than being sent to the Asian Games and win, but not really having any progress. They could just send Zheng YX and Hu for the Asian Games and still make it work.

China is a bit thin at OH without Zhu and Zhang. The next question is who can they pair up with Li to lead a new team?

I wonder how Japan and Korea will handle the time conflict. Do they send the A Team to the Asian Games and B/C Team to WCH?

This was Yuan's first time playing this season and her shoulder was still heavily wrapped in tape.

That does not look good. The last time she played was back in Tokyo (around 4 months ago). If it was a minor shoulder related issue then it should've healed by now, but it seems like it's a recurring injury similar to how Yan Ni was always bandaged up.

I'm surprised, thought red would totally pound blue...

she played in the finals of the National Games. had the tape there too.

Forgot about that. Lol. Still it's concerning that her shoulder is heavily tapped.

Zhu is out with a wrist injury and Zhang with her knee, god forbid they lose Yuan as well.

Quote from zhutingfan

Oh I heard the reason was because the contracts they (Kim, Larson, Vargas, Boskovic) signed with their clubs was to play in the league. playing in the all star would be extra money that was not specified in the contract and the organizers (of the all-star) would have to pay extra which they didn't want to do because of covid. I think Japanese women's v-league also had no foreigners in all-star.

CVA gets away with this one... for now...

So the players really dont want to play just one extra match without being paid?
