Ten years of sharpening a sword, a sword determines the universe.

On August 14, the 2022 men's volleyball Asian Cup final was held in Fotong, Thailand. The Chinese men's volleyball team went all out to beat Japan 3-0, and won the Asian Cup again ten years later.

Two months ago, in the first week of the 2022 World Men's Volleyball League, the Chinese men's volleyball team defeated the three time Olympic champion Brazil's men's volleyball team 3-0, which was widely regarded as "cold". In this Asian Cup, the young men of the Chinese men's volleyball team proved that they can compete with any strong team with their strength, and their achievements were not short-lived.

In this Asian Cup of Men's Volleyball, the Chinese men's volleyball team is in excellent condition. From the group match, they have successively defeated Chinese Taipei and Bahrain, which can be said to be overwhelming. In the second round, the Chinese men's volleyball team defeated the powerful Asian team Iran and Pakistan. Although the competition fluctuated slightly, the Chinese men's volleyball team withstood the strong pressure and "laughed" to the end. The semi-finals can be said to be the biggest touchstone for the Chinese team, and the South Korean team, which played as the main team, brought the biggest challenge to the Chinese team. What is commendable is that when the South Korean team took the lead in winning the match point, the Chinese men's volleyball team did not panic or lose heart. It reversed for the next two games, greatly boosting the confidence of the boys and laying a solid foundation for winning the championship.

In the final against the Japanese team, the whole game can be said to be the first to hold back and then to raise. After experiencing the opening mistakes and successive missed passes, the team members and the coaching team adjusted in time to stabilize their morale through serving and blocking points, and finally won the hard won championship trophy for the Chinese team relying on a more three-dimensional attack and tight defense. The six victories of the Asian Cup this time not only demonstrated the training achievements of the Chinese men's volleyball team in Europe, but also demonstrated their technical and tactical abilities. It is particularly gratifying that Zhang Jingyin has shouldered the offensive flag of the Chinese men's volleyball team with his own strength and become the absolute attack core. The Asian Cup MVP deserves its name. The main attack Yu Yuantai has greatly enriched the Chinese team's attack method by using flexible movement and super bouncing. With the assistance of two "best secondary attacks" Zhang Zhejia and Peng Shikun in the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's volleyball team has gradually built and improved the structure of attack and defense, and the team members' ability has been greatly improved, It is also the biggest harvest of this competition besides the champion.

In recent years, the Chinese men's three major ball events have been at a "low point". Under this pressure, the Chinese men's volleyball team members have worked hard to improve silently, and finally achieved remarkable results, which is worth celebrating. However, we still need to be soberly aware that the Chinese men's volleyball team still has a lot of ways to go. The failure of first pass and some mistakes in offensive cooperation still exist, which are also constraints for the Chinese men's volleyball team to further develop. The Chinese men's volleyball team should enhance their self-confidence from this championship, and at the same time, they should be more active in improving their strength and stabilizing their position. There is no shortcut in competitive sports, and achievements will never lie. Both technical and tactical levels need systematic and lasting training to make themselves stronger.

If the "sudden" defeat of the Brazilian men's volleyball team two months ago was a shot in the arm, the Asian Cup victory can be said to be a special medicine, which will comfort fans, give athletes confidence, and make the Chinese men's volleyball team full of "ambition" for the future. This champion is a good start. The world championship is approaching. I hope that the Chinese men's volleyball team can maintain a good attitude and make another success in the world championship.
