The U.S. women's volleyball team unexpectedly swallowed 2 consecutive defeats! Kirari was a little helpless, but with such a lineup to participate in the first leg of the first week, maybe Kirari would have expected such trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable! Facing the Chinese women's volleyball team, which is not the strongest lineup, and Brazil, which has often been defeated before, it has lost 2 games in a row.
The U.S. women's volleyball team is the reigning Olympic champion, and although it has already secured its Olympic quota in advance, it should not squander the opportunity so much and make the team lose confidence. Of course, there is also an understanding that Kirari is experimenting with different line-ups, scouting players for the Olympics, and we should be patient. Since winning the gold medal at the last Olympics, Kirari has achieved a lot of success, after all, the team has won the Olympic gold medal for the first time in history, and this year's Olympics are extremely stressful, after all, there are more strong opponents. The Chinese women's volleyball team will also strike hard!
With the United States women's volleyball team losing 2 consecutive games, then in the standings, the Brazilian team won 3 consecutive wins and reached the top with 9 points, and the Japanese women's volleyball team was slightly unfavorable and temporarily fell to 2nd. The Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Canada 1-2 today, and the first defeat came, which also made its ranking fall to 4th, which was also not optimistic, and lost 11.01 points in the world ranking, allowing the Japanese team to narrow the points gap.
