Zhou Yuan, China Sports News reporter
On November 13, the 2022-2023 Chinese Men’s Volleyball Super League, the first stage of the second stage of the second round of Group C and Group D, will end in Qinhuangdao, Hebei and Wuyuan, Jiangxi respectively. All 14 teams participating this season have appeared and the format of the competition has undergone significant changes. The 16-time champion of the Shanghai Guangming Men’s Volleyball Team has 9 consecutive victories and remains undefeated, obviously superior. Baoding Woli men’s volleyball team is the biggest “dark horse” this season. The performance of the traditionally strong Nanjing Radio and Television Maomao Men’s Volleyball Team did not meet expectations.
In the second competition, the Beijing Auto men’s volleyball team, the Shanghai Guangming men’s volleyball team, the Shandong Ruchen men’s volleyball team and the Tianjin Food Group men’s volleyball team maintained a comprehensive victory. Among them, the Shanghai men’s volleyball team is so far the only team that has won all matches from home to away, losing only 2 games in the first 9 games. There are 4 foreign players in the team and all of them have appeared in the game. In addition, there are sufficient bench players in each position and multiple different formations can be fielded depending on the opponent in the league. Although the first stage of the championship is not over yet, the Shanghai team has become the biggest favorites to win the championship.
Although the defending champion Beijing men’s volleyball team also maintained a comprehensive victory, they only played three games in the second leg. Among them, the high-quality match only defeated the Baoding Woli men’s volleyball team 3-1, so the overall level of the team needs to go through more games to test. The Beijing team plans to introduce 4 foreign aid this season, but currently only 1 is available. As core players such as Jiang Chuan, Zhang Binglong and Wang Dongchen play in Japanese clubs, the Beijing team has sent youngsters to more positions . If all the foreign aid of the Beijing team is in place, they can still compete with the Shanghai team.
Baoding Woli men’s volleyball team, formed with Hebei men’s volleyball team, only ranked 10th in the league last season. This season, Baoding Woli men’s volleyball team has become a “horse dark” and a spoiler. , beating Henan men’s volleyball team, Sichuan men’s volleyball team and Zhejiang sports lottery men’s volleyball team 3-2 in a row. After playing 10 games in the first two rounds, the Baoding Woli men’s volleyball team has achieved a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, and the prospect of breaking into the top 8 is relatively bright. The addition of three foreign aids, Sinica, Poluyan and Panashenko, brought qualitative changes to the team, especially in the organization and passing of the setter Sinica, revitalizing the whole team and activating the offensive of Wen Zihua, Tsui Hark, Chen Peiyu and other local players ability.
After the two first stage games, the team with the most abnormal performance was last season’s third-place finisher Nanjing Radio and Television Maomao, who lost 5 games in 9 games. Lost to Shanghai, Shandong and Baoding in the first leg and lost to Shenzhen Mingjinhai and Fujian Pingtan in the second leg, the difficulty of advancing to the top 8 increased greatly. After veterans such as Zhang Chen and Liu Xiangdong retired, the Nanjing team is undergoing a transition from the old to the new this season, and national player Yu Yuantai has become the captain and core of the team. The team has introduced foreign aid this season, but whether it is the main attack Stankovic or Vash’s second pass, there are still problems in team cooperation, and more often depends on Yu Yuantai to get up and play the role of hero. And all opponents will pin Yu Yuantai purposefully, and the Nanjing team is often in trouble. (Shangrao, November 14)
