China beat Dom. 3-0 in the Hangzhou leg of the Masters, thanks to the return of their captain, Wei. Next up is Turkey and Cuba.
On the question of talent, the issue is not talent but passing. Coach Wang himself admits, China's problem is with passing, preventing the setter from properly setting the ball for attack, creating many difficulties for China. The inability of the previous coach, Cai Bin, to solve this problem, led to poor performances, and his firing.
By the way, Cai Bin was roasted alive by angry Chinese fans. He was written off as an incompetent fool. But it wasn't entirely his fault. Poor passing stems from inadequate training in the provincial teams, but as the national coach, he had to take the fall.
Coach Wang came from the top club team, Tianjin (who is playing against the Huskers right now in China). I have faith in him. If the rabid fans can give him some time to iron out the various flaws, I'm sure China can improve substantially.
