I think it is nice that female players earn more than male counterparts

When it comes to money, it is hard to use word 'deserve' it is all about supply-demand. Clearly there are not many big attacker in the market who can both attack and receive in a decent level (only funny thing is that both bulgarian OHs are one of the most earning female volleyball players but they still couldn't succeed anything in NT level)

I am curious about KYK's salary, do you think she is getting paid more than Zhu?

Zhu is the highest salary volleyball player (including male), with 135m euro.

and I heard her salary will raise to 150m euro next season. Can someone confirm that?

Quote from Rains_of_Castamere

Kosheleva is oh so perfect... the greatest of all time...no one can compare even if she makes those mistakes... who cares while Zhu Ting is the worst volleyball player in the world. Without Gozde and Naz. She will never win an olympic gold medal. Oh wait.

You are so cute. I love it.

Many of you felt angry about Shame's diss words. Defending Zhu that's all you could do.
It's a war between Shame and Zhu fans!

But hey, it's not about different education and culture really. It's how you deal with a troll or someone you don't like in a forum.

Sorry, for me both of you aren't different than ErolGarip.

Speaking of Eurocentric, remember the feud about European championship vs. Grand championship cup? wasn't it funny to watch.

Speaking of double standard, it was okay for Shame dissing Zhu Ting everywhere in the past, but it is too much to praise Zhu.

Of course he has his own opinion, but sometimes he said something that's not factual based, which often countered proved by me with statistics. He said Zhu only covers 1m of the court, hey any player standing in the court with their legs slightly open already covers more than 1m.

What goes around comes around. If you said something made others lost respect for you, you may not gain other people's respect. Stop playing the victim.

Lastly, yes, some people are more aggressive than others, but you can't expect everybody has the same manner, we have different education and culture. especially facing a person like Shame who disses the player you like when that player is actually playing amazing.

Statistic, the ultimate truth teller!

Zhu Ting highest scorer with 24 points. And undoubtedly, she received the MVP award.

Quote from ryleybarnes

Tomkom was there in the final part of set 2. She came in and FB almost lost a set! Oh! But her partner is Polen.. U better pray when she came in. Tbf, the Turkish setter did a pretty good job actually. The outcome wouldnt have been different no matter who played more becuase, on the other side to the net, Naz wasnt choked and Zhu was a beast yesterday.

It was just Zhu's normal standard. Vakifbank did not ride Zhu this season because of wrist injury.

By the way, since the third set, she does not receive, her success rate is 71%，efficiency rate 67%.

Top scorer Zhu Ting 20 points.

Quote from USAvolleyfan

Oh my god guys.. it's only one match, only one loss.. Zhu has been the key player for Vakifbank in so many matches, today she was bad, as well as every other player in Vakifbank.. also we have to give credit to Eczacibasi which played a very good first set.. they covered every single ball and managed to touch so many attacks woth their block.. I remember neither Zhu, Gozde, nor Sloetjes could get the ball down during that set..

I agree.


And, if all the spikers can't get the ball down, we all know where the problem is.

Quote from usantvolleyball

Of course this is the Club season and not NT season and everyone knows that Bosko and Zhu are the keys to their teams success. Today Bosko completely out delivered for her team. If Zhu's injury is chronic then Vakif will certainly struggle this year in CL against Imoco and Novara especially as it seems that Robinson is a downgrade from Hill.

Not only NT season. Last club season ECZ lost to Vakif how many times in a row? 9 or 10?

Quote from usantvolleyball

By USA measurement standards, hitting efficiency, (attacks divided by the sum kills minus errors and blocks) Zhu was 0/22. She had 5 kills with 5 errors for a hitting efficiency of zero. By comparison Bosko was at 50% at 16/32. By the time Zhu came back in to the front row it was already 20-9 and Vakif had only one complete rotation with Zhu never getting back to the front. That last set reminds me of last years incredible comeback by Vaki's subs against ECZ which seemed to break ECZ after their hot start when they won the early Club World Championships. I wonder what impact this loss will have on Vakif going forward?

How smart are you to state Zhu's efficiency rate to Boscovic' success rate.

I know that Zhu plays badly in this match, it's partly due to injury.
But never forget how Boscovic compared to the healthy Zhu in the last season and the world majors.

Look at all the drama queens taking swings now.
Don't you see the bandage on Zhu's wrist keeps increasing?
In term of spike efficiency, nobody can compare to Zhu's last couple of years.

Quote from SHAME

Sorry, I don't like Russia NT and russian league. I didn't watch a single match the last 3/4 years because the league is very very boring. The russian player I like the most is Kosheleva, because of her fire. And I like China NT. I don't see Zhu Ting a phenomenon, that's all. 10/15 years ago she would be just an ok player. Think about Keba Phipps or Sokolova in their golden ages, no match for the chinese... I'm not an hater.

Here we go again. you are just a hater, stop pretending you are not, that disgusts me. Jealous of Zhu Ting's success? lol.

An "ok" player can bring a team to world cup and Olympics gold with highest score and efficiency rate. An "ok" player who gets rewarded as best OH in every match, and MVP in most match in national teams and professional teams.

10/15 years ago, they faced less aggressive serves, less skillful blocks and less triple blocks. And they still have a lot lower success and efficiency rate than Zhu Ting.

They are no where near Zhu Ting's level. Zhu Ting is million times better than them. People have eyes and brain, and that's why Zhu received so much praise.

Let me tell you, The Chinese is better than the people you like. Bring it on.

Zhu Ting's spike approach is art. So unique, no need to run much, not much back swing. It just looks so easy and natural gifted.

Zhu Ting, 21 points under two and a half sets.
62% success and efficiency, no error. great receiving and defense. textbook standard.

Quote from leo2017

It is world top blocking duo --》Zhuting+milena rasic。。。i think she gets very low attack effiency rate today?

I just checked, 11/37 5 err 7 blocked. it's negative efficiency.

Quote from rbdfabio

Zhu said she wants to win every single trophy this time and I really don`t doubt her.

As long as they stay healthy. Vakifbank doesn't have many subs.

Queen Zhu's reception has become so good. She also blocked tons of balls today. However, Naz never set good balls to Zhu, they always go to Sloetjes.

Wch is like a midterm exam, Olympics is the Final exam.

Quote from Canter

i watched none of the matches

Turkey has had already silver and bronze so i dont care much about this bronze. for me the succes is a gold medal in ECH ..unless turkey wins a gold in ECH i wont say they are succesful
btw,i felt bad for Azerbaijan team .they shouldnt have finished the tournament this way!

congrats to Boşkoviç and her team for the gold..she is a very good OPP,equivalent of a real OPP
this must be the best Boşkoviç i have ever seen ( in turkey match).if she could have played this way Vitra would have been the champion and in CL now
especially her attacks with those disorganized bad sets behind from 3 metter line were outstanding..i havent seen those attacks from Zhu Ting

edit : another congrats to Eda Erdem Dündar .i think she is best slide middle attacker in Europe maybe in the world,who else could be better than her as slider ? i remember Brazilian Fabiana but she must be far from her great days..

Have you seen Zhu scored many balls set almost from the base line facing triple block? Have you seen her scored with single legged back row attack facing triple block?

Serbia vs. Netherlands. Boskovic: spiking 26/52, 7 error 3 blocked. 30.7% efficiency. 6 service errors. I haven't seen those from Zhu Ting either.

Error control is key in Volleyball, because if you make an error, they got one point, and we lose one point, which almost equals to giving away 2 points.
