On September 30, Beijing time, the women's volleyball world championship, the Japanese women's volleyball team 3-1 to the champion Brazilian women's volleyball team lost for the first time. In this way, the Chinese women's volleyball team received a big gift and locked the group first in advance. This is another big surprise in the Chinese sports world after the women's basketball team entered the World Cup final!
After the group of the World Championship group was released, the opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team were actually determined, that is, Brazil and Japan. At present, only these 2 teams can be called the opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team group stage. As a result, the Brazilian women's volleyball team has a relatively large ups and downs, and the confrontation between China and Japan ended with the Chinese women's volleyball team winning 3-0, so the Chinese women's volleyball team has occupied the first place in the group.
This time Japan vs. Brazil is the first and last chance for the 2nd team to impact the group. After the start of the game, the Brazilian women's volleyball team was not in good shape, losing a consecutive 22-25 set at the end of the first set. In the second set, the Brazilian women's volleyball team was at a disadvantage, and the result was to lose another set 19-25. In the third set, the Brazilian women's volleyball team woke up 25-17 to recover a set, but it was unable to return to the sky, and the Japanese women's volleyball team won the fourth set 25-20, and the total score was 3-1 to win.
The Brazilian women's volleyball team suffered its first defeat, with 9 points in 3 wins and 1 loss, and lost 4 sets in 10 games. The Japanese women's volleyball team has 9 points for 3 wins and 1 loss, and has lost 4 games in 9 games, so at present, Brazil and Japan are ranked second and third in the standings, and the Chinese women's volleyball team is 4 consecutive wins and 12 points, and 12 consecutive rounds have not lost a game to occupy the first.
Therefore, even if the Chinese women's volleyball team loses 0-3 to Brazil in the last round, it will not lose the first place in the group. Therefore, the Chinese women's volleyball team has won the first place in the group one round in advance. This means that the Chinese women's volleyball team will enter Group E as D1 and will compete for the first and fourth places in other groups for the top eight seats according to the rules. Considering that the current fourth place in each group is really not flattering, it is difficult for a really strong team to fall to this position.
In summary, the difficulty of the Chinese women's volleyball team actually entering the top eight is not very large. All in all, if the Chinese women's volleyball team can win the Brazilian women's volleyball team that currently has ups and downs in the final round, can it look more distant and impact the top four or even the final seat?
