The Tianjin women's volleyball team won another game, and there was no suspense in advancing to the final with a large score of 2-0. But in the other game, Lao Gao is optimistic about Shanghai winning. First of all, the Shanghai team has defeated the Jiangsu team in the group stage, and its strength is not weaker than the opponent. Secondly, in the first leg of the game, Shanghai lost in the key ball and did not grasp well, if the second set of 11-5 lead can be won, the direction of the game may change. Third, after the absence of Zhang Changning and Wang Chenyue, Jiangsu's main offensive and secondary offensive lines were damaged, and the overall strength declined. The first leg to beat Shanghai, not Jiangsu's strength is stronger than Shanghai, but Shanghai's own performance is too poor. Therefore, after summarizing the gains and losses of the first game, Shanghai has every chance to win the game in the second leg. Will this be the case? Wait and see.
