China and Italy as the final battle of Hong Kong, China, before the game the Chinese women's volleyball team is more optimistic about the winning side, the Italian women's volleyball team only sent Sierra and Danesi 2 main players, but this game the Chinese women's volleyball team's blocking and defense is not ideal, especially the tiebreaker, in the face of the substitute main attack De Gladi front and rear row strong attack, the Chinese women's volleyball team has a weak heart, many times by a small man with a height of only 182 main attack piercing the blocker caused destructive blocking, for other offensive and defensive blocking is also useless, starting from against the Polish women's volleyball team, The blocking of the Chinese women's volleyball team began to destroy the blocking, this has not improved, so that the opponent's attack and defense play unscrupulously, on the other hand, their own attacks have failed again and again, the Italian women's volleyball back row card position is particularly accurate, preventing many Chinese women's volleyball teams from smashing the ball. After losing 2-3, the Chinese women's volleyball team took one point, but increased its defeat by one.
