Personality assessment
Liu's style of play is the same as that of former world champion Zhang Yining, who is a fast-break player with a right-handed horizontal board and an arc. Her height is not dominant, but her hitting speed is extremely fast, and her ability to hold each other in the near and middle stages is excellent.
Small technical movements, coordinated hitting movements, she can make good use of physical strength to hit the ball, flexible footwork and reasonable center of gravity adjustment to ensure rapid recovery, which is the basis for her to ensure technical play and the key to her excellent results.
