On May 17, a fierce battle broke out on the pitch in Rio de Janeiro. On one side is the Chinese women's volleyball team, the champion of the Rio Olympics, and on the other side is the new champion of the United States team at the Tokyo Olympics. The contest between two strong teams is always very desirable.
This time, there were some minor lineup changes for both sides. In order to prepare for the next Olympic cycle, the main team of the United States team did not attack all the main lineups. The Chinese team continued the starting list of the previous stop. But then again, the substitutes of these two teams are also outstanding and their strength should not be underestimated.
As soon as the game started, there were some hiccups in the Chinese team. The young main attacker Wu Mengjie had a mediocre performance and was replaced by Wang Yunrui. And Wang Yuanyuan's side magically opened the "Musou Mode", and scored 18 points just by blocking the net! Li Yingying is in good shape, scoring the highest 20 points in the game.
The Chinese team's serve and blocking are quite good, and the opponent's defense line can't stop it at all. In particular, Gong Xiangyu's serve put a lot of pressure on the U.S. team. The Chinese team won with a score of 3:1 with its excellent overall performance.
After the game, Gong Xiangyu couldn't hide his excitement, "It's really satisfying to finally win the former champion on the world stage!" It's not just me, it's the whole team that has a lot of confidence right now. "
In contrast, the coaching staff of the U.S. team looked ugly. They thought they could use this competition to select newcomers, but they didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of the Chinese team.
"It's just a new beginning, though." "Our goal is still the next Olympics, it's just a run-in period. "
Looking back on the specific data of this game, Wang Yuanyuan's crazy 18 points deserved to be the biggest highlight. However, she is usually not so good at blocking the net, and I am afraid that she has encountered a day with a very good hand.
Li Yingying's 20-point score once again shows that she is an indispensable offensive core of the team. In contrast, Wu Mengjie's performance was a bit disappointing. Substituted off, it was clear that the coach was not happy with her.
It's no wonder, though. After all, it is a duel between two top teams, and any negligence may lead to being suppressed. In the end, the Chinese team was able to win, in addition to individual performance, the overall tactical use also contributed a lot.
For the U.S. team, this lineup adjustment naturally affected the strength of the team. But in the long run, it's important to give young players the opportunity to experience. If Minerva and others can contribute to the team on the top stage of the world, it is already a success.
As for the Chinese team, this victory is sure to give a further morale boost. The two consecutive reversals show that the coaching staff has full confidence in the young players. There is still a long way to go in the next World League, and I hope everyone can continue to maintain a good style and fight for the final championship.
