China Women's Volleyball Association announced the teams participating in the preliminary round of the National Games. A total of 15 teams competed for eight seats in the finals of Shaanxi National Games in September, namely Jiangsu, Shandong, Tianjin, Liaoning, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hebei, Hong Kong and Macao. The specific time of the preliminaries of the National Games has not yet been announced. It will start in the middle and late April and be divided into two groups. The top four in the group will qualify directly. The training of China women's volleyball national team may end at the end of March and the beginning of April, and the players will return to their mother team for joint training to make the final sprint preparation for the preliminaries of the National Games.

Compared with last year's volleyball match and National Games, the number of teams increased from 13 to 15, but there were more teams from Hong Kong and Macao. The players of both teams are amateurs. Almost all people from all walks of life get together because they love volleyball and like the sport. They usually don't have much time for professional training. I'm afraid to learn and communicate with strong teams with the purpose of participation, and the possibility of qualifying is almost zero.

In addition, among the 13 teams, the strength of the top five teams is beyond doubt, and the customs clearance preliminaries are not difficult. Tianjin and Jiangsu, as the champions and runners-up of the Super League, are also the favourites to win the National Games. The two teams are well-lined, with famous generals guarding all positions, and are expected to meet in the final. Tianjin women's volleyball team is young and powerful. Li Yingying became the core of Tianjin's attack and defense. Chen gradually matured to take over, and Yao Di, the national player and setter, was also a substitute for the national team. Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team has four players: Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu, Diao and Ni, and also invited former national player Yang to help out. Nominally, the second team is indeed the strongest.

Liaoning, Shanghai and Shandong are the leaders of the second echelon, and the third echelon is a strong contender for the top four in the National Games. The Liaoning team has two main players of the national team, Ding Xia and Yan Ni. Although the offensive strength of the flank is limited, the fast break of Liaoning team is hard to prevent. Shanghai women's volleyball team is a veteran team. The main attackers Zhang and Yang Jie are both experienced attackers and former national players. The addition of Gao Yi, the assistant attacker, made the Shanghai women's volleyball team make up a big shortcoming. Although Shandong women's volleyball team is not the main leader of the national team, most of the players have the experience of national name. The average age of players is relatively young, their basic skills are solid, and their offensive and defensive conversion speed is fast. All teams dare not underestimate.

As former league champions, Beijing and Zhejiang may face the impact of the dark horse behind them. Liu Xiaotong and Ceng Chunlei, the core offensive and defensive players of Beijing Women's Volleyball Team for many years, are facing the reality of being older and in a low state. Other wingers Jin Ye, Ren, all have offensive and defensive defects, and it is difficult to take over. Zhejiang team is also the leader of Jing Li. Wang, Zhu Yuezhou and others still do not have the core strength to score key points. As an old and strong team, maybe the players' experience is still there, but they were overturned by the dark horse with a little carelessness.

The Henan team led by Zhu Ting is expected to become the most promising big dark horse in the National Games. At present, the Henan team is slightly stronger than four years ago, and the young players have certain strength, but their skills are rough and their psychological fluctuations are great. If Zhu Ting plays with her, she may break through the bottleneck and the team will unexpectedly qualify. The 7th Fujian team in the last National Games belongs to the southern team with exquisite skills and tenacious style. It is very likely that it will continue its strong performance in the last National Games and enter the top 8. In addition, thanks to the efforts of Li Yao, Wang Yifan and Chen Peiyan, the Guangdong team is also expected to advance to the quarter-finals.
