In the blink of an eye, the Asian Senior Women's Volleyball Championship came to a successful conclusion in Thailand, and all the Chinese women's volleyball players have returned to China to continue preparing for subsequent games. Most of the players will return to the provincial teams and participate in club training to prepare for this year's Volleyball Super League. However, some players rushed to support the NT and flew to the Ningbo Beilun training base in Zhejiang to prepare for the upcoming OQT (competition time: September 16-24, 2023).
According to the latest news, Wu Mengjie, the star player of the second team, has quietly arrived in Beilun to participate in training in recent days (along with Yang Hanyu & Zhong Hui). Her appearance is undoubtedly a surprise. Since being selected for the national team training list, Wu Mengjie has not reported to Beilun yet. Now that she has finally been called up, it means that Wu Mengjie, who's dubbed as 'Xiao Zhu Ting' (the Little ZT), has an excellent opportunity to rise to the top, patching the current weakness in the main attacking line, as the current shorter Wang Yunlu, Du Qingqing, Zhong Hui are not quite effective in dealing with those tall MBs from the strong teams of the European and American continents. And judging from the current situation, Cai Bin also intends to promote Wu Mengjie, it depends on whether Wu can seize the opportunity.
According to the latest news from the front, DQQ, the backup player of 1996, is suspected to be dropped from the NT training list. DQQ suddenly appeared in Beijing recently. Now with Wu Mengjie joining, DQQ suddenly left. One must grasp that after two years of hard work, Wu Mengjie is moving step by step to be a comprehensive main attacker. Her first pass defense has been significantly improved. Coupled with a wealth of offensive methods, it is not unreasonable for Wu Mengjie to take over DQQ's position. While DQQ indeed has no competitive advantage.
We hope that in this new round of adjustments, Wu Mengjie can successfully gain a foothold, perform more exciting performances, and help the NT achieve greater glory. (Via Baidu Sports, 2023-09-09)
