Pierce the heart! After the national football team, the men's volleyball team was also thrown away by Japan: 6 consecutive defeats at the bottom VS overturned Brazil +7 consecutive wins to lead
On the evening of June 22, Beijing time, two focus battles of the World Men's Volleyball League began at the same time. Two teams from Asia, the Chinese men's volleyball team and the Japanese men's volleyball team, will face the world's top teams Italy and Brazil. However, there is a huge gap in the performance of the two teams.
The Chinese men's volleyball team, which played in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, faced last year's world champion Italy and lost 3-0 in straight sets. In the first game, the Italian men's volleyball team sent the main force, while the Chinese team hid the ace to attack Zhang Jingyin, and the Chinese team lost 13-25. In the next two games, despite the best efforts of the Chinese team, they still lost two more games 19-25 and 24-26.
The Chinese men's volleyball boy collapsed inexplicably as soon as the key score reached the end of the game, and according to post-match statistics, the Chinese men's volleyball team gave Italy 24 points just by mistake! Almost a game, it's no surprise that such a poor play was kept a clean sheet. After the defeat, the Chinese men's volleyball team has suffered 6 consecutive defeats, continues to rank at the bottom of the standings, and has become the biggest favorite for relegation.
At the same time, our close neighbor Japan men's volleyball team played a very bloody five-game pinnacle battle at Orleans, France. The Japanese men's volleyball team won two consecutive games 25-23 and 25-21, and at one point led the world's top team Brazil 2-0. Although the Brazilian men's volleyball team chased 2 consecutive games after the change of formation, dragging the game into a tiebreaker.
In the tiebreaker, Japan broke out again, defeating the Brazilian men's volleyball team 18-16 to win this crucial victory 3-2. The three major wing attackers Yuki Ishikawa (27 points), Kento Miyaura (24 points) and Takahashi Blue (21 points) were the biggest contributors to Japan's overthrow of Brazil. After beating Brazil, the Japanese men's volleyball team won seven consecutive victories, becoming the only undefeated team since the start of the World League, and continued to lead strongly.
Once upon a time, the strength of the Chinese men's volleyball team was indistinguishable from that of the Japanese team, and there were victories and defeats for each other. However, in recent years, the strength of the Chinese men's volleyball team has stagnated or even regressed sharply, while the Japanese team has made great strides to the world's top level. The Chinese men's volleyball team, like the Chinese men's football team, was completely thrown away by the Japanese team.
