The second leg of the 23-24 Serie A Women's Volleyball League final ended. Zhu Ting's Scandic lost at home in five games, losing 25-23/21-25/25-18/23-25/11-15 to miss the championship point. In this campaign, the two sides still sent the strongest lineups, Zhu Ting, Herbots, and Odeninovic all appeared.
In the first game, Scandic went on a 7-2 run from 9-12 down, but dropped six points in a row after leading 16-14 and fell into passivity. In the second game, except for a brief lead in the opening stage, Scandic spent the rest of the time chasing points, and the attack point was too single and his own mistakes were too much, and he was pulled back by 21-25.
In the third game, Scandic reduced his mistakes, Antropova was full of firepower, and Conegliano was a single game to send 11 points, although the offense was superior, but Scandic still won 25-18, and in the fourth game, the two sides fought all the way, leading each other, and at the last moment, Scandicci's secondary attack adjusted the pass error and lost another game at 23-25.
In the most critical fifth game, Scandic lost a good game and was reversed after leading 6-3 in the opening game, and finally lost to the opponent 2-3, and the big score was chased by Conegliano to a 1-1 draw. After losing this game, Scandic not only missed the championship point, but more importantly, the 13-game winning streak in the league was ended. The next leg will be played at Conegliano's home stadium.
As far as this game is concerned, Scandic played well overall, but he was still a little impatient in handling the key points in the fourth and fifth games. For example, when he managed to prevent a game point fastball, he wasted the opportunity to equalize because of the rough adjustment pass of the secondary attack, or when he was leading in the fifth game, Palo's pass suddenly had a problem, which made the original lead disappear in an instant.
Zhu Ting didn't have many opportunities to perform on the offensive end in this game, scoring a total of 12 points (37 deductions, 11 deductions, 5 mistakes, 1 block), 9 deductions, 2 mistakes, 1 mistake in the first game, 1 block and 3 points, 6 deductions and 1 mistake in the second game, 0 mistakes in the second game, 9 deductions, 1 in 2 mistakes, and 5 mistakes in the fourth game. Although the offensive score is not much, only about 2-3 points in a game, Zhu Ting contributed many wonderful performances on the first pass and defensive end, with a game-high 42 passes, 4 turnovers, a completion rate of 30%, and a perfect rate of 11%.
The reason for the reversal is related to the late substitution of coach Barborini. Scandic won 3-0, 9-8 in the tiebreaker, but was stuck at 9-13, Barborini fell behind 10-14 before he thought that it was too late to change the serve, compared to the wonderful substitution in the first round to make the tiebreaker win, this one was too conservative! It is a pity to lose the fourth game, and it is even more pity not to seize the opportunity in the fifth game! The players scored, Antropova 34 points, Herbots 10 points, Konehack 27 points, Plummer 17 points, Lubian 11 points and Robertson 10 points.
