Comparative And Analysis Of The Assistant Attacker Blocking Ability In The30th Olympic Games Between The Chinese And The Foreign Female Volleyball Teams

After tumbling through the group competition by winning three of the five games, the women’s volleyball team of China stopped her step at the quarter finals against Japan, finally ranking the fifth of all national teams along with Japan. The result falls far short of our expectations, but it has its reasons. Judging from the overall performance of China women volleyball team during the Game, we should acknowledge the huge gap in techniques, tactics and playing methods between China women volleyball team and world’s top teams, which is particularly visible in the blocking part.All the comparative analysis and research on the blockings by assistant attacker of China’s and other countries’ teams are made upon going through documents, video observations and statistics. We have located the deficiencies in the blocking part of China’s women volleyball team. And after analyzing the causing elements, we have drawn the following conclusions:(1) the assistant attacker’low efficiency in achieving overall effective blockings;(2) the assistant attacker lack of speed, accuracy in observation, judgment and positioning, timing of jumping, and correct blocking gesture;(3)assistant attacker lack of sense of cooperation with other players as they are too young, assistant attacker lack of stamina;(4) types of blockings carried out by assistant attacker and their proportions from high to low:blockings against forcing attacks, blockings against quick attacks and blockings against back-court attacks;(5) despite the high success rate in blocking against forcing attacks, the assistant attacker are weak in blocking the attacks from position2and4and back court; collective blockings are far less than individual blockings; individual blockings performs better than collective blocking.Suggestions:(1) China women volleyball team should develop her advantage in non-technical-element norms and turn them into actually strength in blocking.(2) Pay extra attention on the collaborative blocking between the blockers and other players.(3) Enhance exchanges with other national teams so as to accumulate experience.(4) Intensify the blockers’ physical training.(5) Pay due attention to the implementation of high technologies during the drills and matches, and to the scientific collection and analysis of instant information during the matches so as to improve the team’s blocking ability.
