Moreover, Henan media revealed that Zhu Ting decided to return to the home team to participate in the preliminaries of the National Games. After four years, Zhu Ting once again wore a Henan women's volleyball shirt. Zhu Ting last represented Henan women's volleyball team at the Tianjin National Games four years ago. At that time, the preliminaries of the National Games were held in Yunnan. Because Yunnan is located in the plateau, many women volleyball players went to Yunnan to participate in the competition. Zhu Ting was even sent to the hospital for treatment because of altitude sickness, but she still insisted on completing the task of the preliminaries of the National Games. Unfortunately, the overall strength of Henan women's volleyball team is not good. Although Zhu Ting has just won the MVP of Rio Olympic Games, he can't lead Henan women's volleyball team to the finals alone.
Throughout the Tokyo cycle, Henan women's volleyball team not only experienced a change of coaches, but also had a great adjustment in personnel. Before the start of this season, Jiao Shuai, head coach of Henan Women's Volleyball Team, even shouted the slogan of the quarter-finals. Although the team did not achieve this goal, we can see the expectations of young coaches for Henan women's volleyball team. At present, Henan women's volleyball team is building a brand-new lineup. After two or three seasons' running-in, after Zhu Ting's return, both the front row storm and the back row defense can make Henan women's volleyball team go up a storey still higher. The goal of Henan women's volleyball team in the preliminaries of this National Games is to strive to enter the quarter-finals.
It is impossible for Henan women's volleyball team in Group A to beat Jiangsu women's volleyball team and Liaoning women's volleyball team. After all, these two teams are all China teams. Jiangsu women's volleyball team is the runner-up in this season's league and the favorite to win the National Games this year. Excluding these two strong teams, the remaining six teams will compete for the two quarterfinals. China Hongkong Team and China Macau Team lack competition experience and can be ignored directly. Among the other four teams, Hebei Women's Volleyball Team is often the second to last in the league 1, and its overall strength is very poor, so it is not an opponent of Henan Women's Volleyball Team.
As long as Henan Women's Volleyball Team beats Zhejiang Women's Volleyball Team and Sichuan Women's Volleyball Team with all its strength, it will have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals of the National Games. Now Zhu Ting is determined to return to China, and the Henan Women's Volleyball Team has the strength to beat these two teams. Moreover, the Henan women's volleyball team is gradually maturing, and the head coach also has the ambition to compete for good results. Coupled with Zhu Ting's assistance, it is just around the corner for Henan women's volleyball team to reach the final of the National Games.
