The authors offered the following suggestions: Chinese national women vol-leyball team should further strengthen the refinement of various offense and defense techniques, strive to get close to the mainstream of development of modern high performance competitive volleyball with full offense and full de-fense as well as balanced offense and defense, and constantly build up its overall offense and defense strength.
