On the first day of the new year, for sports fans, in addition to ushering in the New Year's Day, it also ushered in a sports feast. The match between the Liaoning men's basketball team and the Guangdong men's basketball team was scheduled to be played in prime time in the evening. The third volleyball semifinal of the Shanghai women's volleyball team and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team was also arranged in the prime time of the evening. Although Gong Xiangyu led a group of young teammates to help the Jiangsu women's volleyball team play 3-1 in the first semifinals, it was relatively easy to defeat the Shanghai women's volleyball team. However, in the second game between the two sides, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team saw the hope of promotion, there was a state of mind ups and downs, so that there was a problem in the key third set, leading by 2-0, and the third set had a score lead in the case of the Shanghai women's volleyball team staged a reversal of the good play, 2-3 lost the second game of the two sides. The two teams also had to decide a place to advance to the final through a brutal third matchup. Such a promotion situation also makes both sides have no way back, everything depends on the game psychology of the two sides in the third game, pre-game preparation and on-the-spot performance, as well as the belief in victory.
In the first innings of the two sides, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team started well, the attack of the serve was very strong, and the attack was also very sustained, and it made a good start of 8-5. Although the Shanghai women's volleyball team also played some counterattacks afterwards, the point difference between the two sides was narrowed to 9-10, but the Jiangsu women's volleyball team then stabilized its position, and the two young attackers Wu Mengjie and Wan Ziyue also played a more flexible offensive style, re-opening the point difference to 13-10. The players of the Shanghai women's volleyball team are somewhat depressed on the field, the deputy attackers do not dare to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and the efficiency of the main attackers is a little low, and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team pulls the point difference to 15-11, forcing the Shanghai women's volleyball team to call a timeout. However, after the suspension returned, the attack of the Shanghai women's volleyball team still relied too much on Larson, so that in the end it was stopped by the Jiangsu women's volleyball team continuously. The Shanghai women's volleyball team called a suspension after falling behind 12-17. Then the two sides have mutual attack and defense, Gong Xiangyu, Wu Mengjie's attack played resolutely, the point difference between the two sides was also maintained, although Zhonghui also got some offensive opportunities in this battle, but did not have the efficiency of the last game, as the game entered the second half of the game, Jiangsu women's volleyball team gradually opened up the point difference to 22-16 and 24-19, although the Shanghai women's volleyball team at the end of the game continued to chase points, but Wu Mengjie played the front row to win the first game, or helped Jiangsu women's volleyball team to win the first game 25-21.
In the second game, both sides broke through from the secondary attack first, 1-1 start, and then it was difficult for both sides to score directly with a board attack, in this kind of multi-round round back and forth ball, it has always been the Jiangsu women's volleyball team's attack is more qualitative, especially Gong Xiangyu also scored several times, and the point difference on the field was stretched to 5-1. Wu Han is also in this kind of small ball link that requires skill to deal with, showing good offensive efficiency, and more praiseworthy point is that the Jiangsu women's volleyball team insists on finding a high intention in the front area of the serve, resulting in the Shanghai women's volleyball team can only fight for a strong attack, but the strong attack breakthrough ability is not the strength of the Shanghai team, Zhonghui is also in a nearly ten rounds of back and forth balls, slam the ball out of bounds, the two sides of the point difference was further widened to 8-3. It was not until the Shanghai women's volleyball team continued to adjust through substitutions that the point difference between the two sides was reduced. But after a brief standoff, wu Mengjie, Gong Xiangyu and Wu Han scored consecutive offensive points, so that the gap between the two sides was pulled back and widened to 14-6. Obviously, the players of the Shanghai women's volleyball team after experiencing the five-game battle of the previous match day, they were obviously in poor physical and mental state, and they were also somewhat unable to exert themselves on the field. The Jiangsu women's volleyball team is getting fiercer and fiercer, from 16-8 to 20-10, and the point difference is widening step by step. The strategy of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in the front area can be said to be a hundred tests, Wu Han's serve directly scored and dunked straight balls, coupled with the Jiangsu team's two sides blocking the net to block Larson's attack, 25-12, Jiangsu women's volleyball team easily won the second set.
The game went into the third inning, which was a crucial inning for both sides. One side is about to get the tickets to the final, and the other side is about to lose the tickets to the final. After the two sides drew at the beginning of 1-1, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team continued to use the net to put pressure on the Shanghai women's volleyball team, Larson and Zhonghui were difficult to break through the Jiangsu women's volleyball nets, and Gong Xiangyu's hanging ball confused the defenders of the Shanghai women's volleyball team again and again, and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team also quickly achieved a 5-1, 6-2, 8-3 lead. Entering the central bureau, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team still maintains such a leading state, Gong Xiangyu's rush to let the Jiangsu women's volleyball team take a 15-10 lead, Wu Han's fourth position attack, but also to help the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to play momentum. However, then the Shanghai women's volleyball team took advantage of the experience of the game to recover in the handling of some difficult balls, blocking Gong Xiangyu's attack, and the score on the court came to 14-17, and Cai Bin's guidance was also immediately called a timeout adjustment. After a season of polishing, Wu Mengjie still showed her personal talent at key moments, taking a key point, and the Jiangsu women's volleyball team re-stabilized the situation, and then continued to open up the point difference to 21-15. Yang Jia's blocking net, Yongle's serve directly scored, coupled with Wu Han's hitman out of bounds, helped the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to get three more points, 25-16 to win the third game victory, but also defeated the Shanghai women's volleyball team with a score of 3-0, so as to eliminate the Shanghai women's volleyball team with a total score of 2-1, and will meet the tianjin women's volleyball team with Li Yingying, Vargas and Yuan Xinyue.
As the new captain of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, Gong Xiangyu, after getting the final place, interviewed the reporter after the game, bluntly said that the team learned the lesson of the reversal in the last game, and in the third game, both before and during the game, it was focused, devoted, and learned to forget the games and scores that have passed. This mentality really helped the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to get a final spot. Let us once again congratulate the Jiangsu women's volleyball team and Gong Xiangyu himself.
