In the first game of the first week, the captain of the blue team is Lowey, the former national player of the United States women's volleyball team Lloyd returned after childbirth, as the first two passes of the blue team, Xue Yizhi also appeared as a secondary attack, because the four teams are temporarily patchwork team members, lack of tacit cooperation between each other, the second pass is difficult to match the rhythm with the secondary attack in the first game, and finally Xue Yizhi 5 deductions 4 out of 2 blocks, handed over 6 points of the answer, because the scoring responsibility of the debut is basically given to the receiver, Xue Yizhi still reflects a high hit rate in the limited number of shots, It's just that the second pass Lloyd still doesn't trust Xue Yizhi very much, plus the first pass is not ideal, and he doesn't dare to give more balls to the vice- attack.
Lowe as the captain of the mission, the whole field cut 23 points, she in the 2015 World Cup and 2016 Rio Olympic Games as the main force of the United States women's volleyball team, in the No. 2 position of the front and rear row attack to give the United States women's volleyball team great support, but also the Chinese women's volleyball team is difficult to defend an opponent, although Lowe did not get the world championship title, but she slammed the ball and waved the arm fast, there is a height advantage, the two major competitions are the United States women's volleyball team to defeat the Chinese team to make a lot of credit.
The Orange team defeated by the blue team also had Asian faces, Thailand's Nutsara as the starting two-pass, and finally the orange team scored in double figures under The wonderful pass of Nutesara, but unfortunately still lost to the blue team Lowey's 23 points contribution, swallowing the first defeat. In another game, the Gold team defeated the Purple team 2-1 (25-13/18-25/25-21), and the Brazilian star Sierra of the Gold team scored 9 points, the captain de la Cruz scored 7 points, and the purple team captain McClendon also scored 7 points.
In the individual standings, After the first game, the Blues' Lowe topped the table with 375 points, and the 2-4 ranking was Stevens of the Gold Team, Lloyd of the Blues, and De la Cruz of the Gold Team. As the competition progresses, the individual standings will certainly change.
