In the third round of the first leg of the World Women's Volleyball League, China wants to face the Olympic rival Canada, this game is equally important to the Netherlands and Japan, as said before, Canada is enough to threaten the top ten positions, it can be seen that Canada has made great progress, but at present, Canada's most promising opponent is the Netherlands, in last year's Olympic preliminaries, China lost to Canada, which is very demoralizing, if even Canada can't win, then even if it enters the Olympic Games, it will become a supporting role, and the Chinese women's volleyball team will definitely strive to win, On the one hand, there are world ranking points, and if you lose, the gap will be greatly narrowed, and on the other hand, you have to fight back the lost honor.
Canada's basic routine has not changed, or Gray has carried everything, the offense depends on her, and a pass also depends on her, mainly the latter, China defeated Canada before, the most important thing is to collapse Gray, as long as a pass can affect Gray, then the game is easy to play, on the contrary, Gray will drive the whole Canadian team, Canada is a bit like a South American team, playing more emotionally, and now it has increased the quality of defense and played resiliently.
Japan and Germany are equally important, at present, can threaten China's Olympic qualifications, mainly Canada, followed by Germany, although Germany's score is a little bit worse, but as soon as possible to determine the Olympic qualifications, it is very important for China to adjust the preparations, the same is true for Japan, their own upset and opponents upset, the point difference will be quickly narrowed, to prevent Germany and Canada from rising points quickly, it can be said that Japan defeated Germany, it is a win-win situation for China and Japan, and now Germany has just changed the coach, plus the core of the team Altman is injured, the overall strength is not strong, Previously, Germany was able to create trouble for Japan, mainly relying on Altman, although Japan's win also put pressure on China, but at present, Japan's victory has more benefits.
Brazil and the United States ushered in the American derby, Brazil is fighting at home after all, quite important, in addition to the return of the genius offensive and defensive Anna Christina, Brazil's strength is obviously on the next level, in terms of offensive ability alone, little Anna is even better than Gabi, and Gabi is in average condition, but a pass and defensive value are there, in addition, Brazil has enough enthusiasm to compete for high rankings and good results, Kiraly's employment in the World League is always tempting, in the face of China to take the strongest lineup, it is not necessarily for Brazil, there may be reservations, The veteran Larsson and China fought for the whole game, and it is estimated that Franty and Skinner Jr. have a chance, and Coutino, who takes over the position, has a gap with Thompson and Drews.
