In the fourth round of the women's volleyball qualification round of the Paris Olympics, Group A ushered in the last match, with the Chinese women's volleyball team playing against the Canadian women's volleyball team.
In the first three rounds, the Chinese women's volleyball team won three consecutive games without losing a game. The Canadian women's volleyball team has only one win and two losses.
In the historical record of the two teams, the Chinese women's volleyball team occupies an absolute advantage. I remember that the Chinese women's volleyball team only lost to the Canadian women's volleyball team in the 2019 World League, and won other matches.
Cai Bin continued the previous starting lineup and went all out against this game. The Canadian women's volleyball team is also the main force, with Gray, White, Van Reich and Maglio all in the starting lineup.
The Chinese women's volleyball team lost 2-3 to Canada.
In the first game, Diao Linyu served and went down the net. Gong Xiangyu was stopped twice with the ball. Canada got off to a 3-1 start. The Chinese team was slow to get into shape. Don't take the enemy lightly. Yuan Xinyue hit the probe twice. The Chinese team scored three points in a row to overtake the score.
The back fell into a glue, and the score alternately went up. The Chinese women's volleyball team has always maintained its lead, but it is difficult to open the point difference, and the advantage is small. At the end of the game, Cai Bin dispatched troops and sent Zhonghui to serve, and Ding Xia and Zheng Yixin replaced Diao Linyu and Gong Xiangyu. Wang Yunbi adjusted the attack, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the game point at 24:22. Van Reich scored two straight points to tie the score.
Li Yingying won the ball and the Chinese team won the game again. The Canadian player scored the slash. The Chinese team appeared in the woguo. Canada also won the set point at 26:25. Zheng Yixin scored quickly, and the Chinese team tied the score. Unfortunately, the Chinese team played a bit chaotically at the crucial moment, with Gray and Van Reich scoring separately. Canada won the first set 28:26.
In the first game, Canada scored 19 points on offense, four more than China. The Canadian team is a little better offense.

The Chinese team chased the score to 18 draws. Canada scored four more points in a row to take the lead again. Cai Bin replaced Diao Linyu with Ding Xia. Canada won the set point 24:22. Wu Mengjie scored straight lines. The Chinese team kept a chance. Unexpectedly, Cai Bin exchanged Diao Linyu for Ding Xia.
Li Yingying was stopped with a smash, and Canada won the third set 25:23. Cai Bin's last-minute substitution was a little incomprehensible. Ding Xia played well, why change it? Especially at critical moments.
In the third game, the Chinese women's volleyball team mainly lost by mistakes, losing 6 points, 4 points more than the Canadian team's mistakes. Li Yingying scored another 5 points. Wu Mengjie, who came off the bench, scored 6 points.

At the critical moment, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu made meritorious contributions separately. The Chinese women's volleyball team won the fourth game 25:22.
In the fifth game, the Chinese women's volleyball team started 4:0 and then led 6:1, but was chased by Canada to draw 7. Wu Mengjie dunked violently and chased the score to 15 draws. Cai Bin made a substitution, and used Zhonghui's serve, but unfortunately the quality was too poor, and the Chinese team lost 1 point. Li Yingying was blocked after three smashes. The Canadian women's volleyball team won the fifth set 17:15.
In the end, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 2-3 to Canada, suffered its first defeat, and gave up the top position.
Cai Bin's two substitutions are debatable.
Li Yingying scored a game-high 30 points, but unfortunately the Chinese women's volleyball team lost.
