Suggestions: facing team USA’s position 2 fast ball offense and open offense, team China should make blocking arrangements in an action specific way, during the game team China should improve the double blocking formation rate as much as possible, and at the same time, should, according to court circumstances, flexibly apply defense formation and exert the free player’s defensive role to the maximum ex-tent, so as to strive for improving the team’s overall blocking efficiency.
