China NT 2023

Quote from beno

China's overall performance was good regardless of the final match (bench players should've been given more chances). If China had faced Turkiye before the final rounds, they would've been prepared better for final. Anyway Before the tourney, even the most positive fan couldnt have predicted that China would play this well, especially after last year's performance. 3 players got their deserved individual awards. LYY is the best OH in the world period. Yuan finds her rhythm and this is very good for China before Paris-2024. China will do a great job when Zhu joins the team.

PS: besides Zhu, I wanna see other overseas group W.Simin, Yao, M.Yiwen

Miao Yi-wen will participate in Chengdu Universiade a few days later as the member of Team B.

These young potential players should be taken to the VNL and get some play time especially when the opponents were weaker as perceived. . Look at Serbia, Italy and Turkey, they took some of these young potentials to big games to prepare them for the future not the present. It would have been better if Miao has playing time against A teams even for a few minutes. It is so unfortunate that CB did not even give most of the bench players enough time or time to play. What is her position? Her height?

I never thought I'd see Diao Linyu becoming Best Setter. Cai Bin must be very proud of her

There will not be a World Championship this year, will it? What's the next campaign after this?

The Asian Games in Hangzhou, late Sep to early Oct 2023.

you are coming here

3 of our games are at 4am Serbian time, we need to talk about that

Quote from fire_cai_bin

¥e$ we can talk about that.

i$ there anything el$e ¥ou would like to discu$$?

(btw is this event before or after euros)

I knew you are rea$onable guy.

its 12 days after euros.

just because Miao yiwen was overseas doesn't necessarily mean she'll be better than those that didn't go abroad, especially since she didn't get much opportunities in Italy.

Did she play as OH this past Chinese League? I don't recall.

Right. Playing in foreign leagues does not mean the player will be better. It depends on what kind, level of the club and competitiveness of the-league . Also the participation in actual competitions. The Chinese league the local clubs only play against each other and the playing season is short the shortest among a lot of different international leagues. So the competitiveness is limited. Also very few top foreign players in Chinese league (1 or 2 top foreign players plus a few regular quality foreign players).

In fact, until now, I think Wang Si-min is not better than Wang Meng-jie but better than Ni Fei-fan. Ni Fei-fan might "stay" in 2019. I don't know why she is "afraid" of reception. Of course, she was injured in Season 22/23. It may be a kind of reason.

I couldn’t find the 1) Asian games thread. and 2) Asian Women’s V. C. thread..

Quote from fire_cai_bin

they don't exist yet. feel free to make them

I would, but I think aside from the venue and dates there are some uncertainties to be sorted out (esp Asian games)

Maybe we’ll make them and let the uncertainties sort themselves out.

* I meant at least the venue and dates are confirmed...

I think some were rumored on the Universiade roster too!

They will need to split the players accordingly unless they sacrifice results in one tournament (likely U19) and stack up all the best youth players for another (U21 or Universiade).

Some of the VNL players that didn't get much opportunities should play at the Universiade, Xu Xiaoting, Zhong Hui, Gao Yi, Yang Hanyu, and Ni Feifan and mix them with Zhou Yetong, Wu Mengjie, Miao Yiwen, Wang Wenhan, Xu Jianan like that.

There's a 8-9 day gap between the end of Universaide (July 28-Aug 8 ) and U21 (Aug17-26) even assuming the team reach the semifinal/finals of the universaide. Some players can be involved in both, but it will take a lot of coordination by CVA, I think.

Will Zhu return to NT for the Olympic qualifiers?

does playing in europe next season prevent Zhu from playing in the Olympics?
