On April 18, Beijing time, in the first leg of the Italian Women's Volleyball League final, Scandic defeated Conegliano 3-2 away, made a good start to the final, and grasped the initiative. Zhu Ting had a good performance again, scoring 16 points in this battle. Antropova scored 31 points to win the MVP. It is worth mentioning that Lang Ping went to the scene to watch the game and interacted cordially with Zhu Ting. Previously, when Zhu Ting officially announced her return to the Chinese women's volleyball team, she mentioned that Director Lang had been encouraging her in the past two years and giving her some guidance. Lang Ping and Zhu Ting are indeed masters and apprentices.
Scandic was swept by Coneriano in the regular season this season, but Scandicci went strong in the playoffs, sweeping Milan 2-0 with Egnu in the semi-finals. In this match, Scandic continued his good momentum. He won the first game 25-22, lost the second game 16-22, won the third game 25-22, lost the fourth game 24-26, and narrowly won the tiebreaker 17-15.
The last two games of this game can be described as twists and turns. In the fourth game, Scandic led 18-14 at one point and was about to win. However, Coneriano, who has dominated the league in recent years, continued to block and score to show his power, and finally completed the reversal and dragged it into the fifth game. In the fifth game, Conegliano led 13-8 and was about to win. Unexpectedly, Scandic completed a miraculous reversal, and Eva made a meritorious service round, chasing 12-13, and then playing to 14 draws. Washington flew the ball back to the ball at a critical moment, and Herberts countered with a dunk to score the last point.
Zhu Ting scored 16 points in this battle, 15 of 35 deductions, 1 mistake and 3 blocks, 0 blocks and 1 shot. Zhu Ting's physical fitness declined in the last two games, and her offensive efficiency declined. In addition, Zhu Ting rarely gets the opportunity to attack in the back three.
Scandic won the first game with a hard time, and the challenge for the league title became very advantageous. Zhu Ting joined Scandic for two seasons and ushered in a great opportunity to hit the highest honor in two years.
Lang Ping came to the scene to watch the game, and Zhu Ting gave Lang Ping a small volleyball before the game. Winning the first battle of the finals under Lang Ping's gaze is particularly meaningful for Zhu Ting.
Zhu Ting's agent Macroo posted a photo of him and Zhu Ting and Lang Ping after the game, and wrote: "Me and Lang Ping and Zhu Ting, a wonderful day!
During this time, Zhu Ting's condition has been very good, and she basically scored doubles in every game. With Anwa being the team's No. 1 offensive firepower, Zhu Ting was able to maintain a double-double scoring performance in the playoffs, proving her strength and stability.
Zhu Ting will switch to Coneliano next season, and if she can say goodbye to Scandic with the championship trophy, it will also be a successful end to her two-season experience at Scandicci.
