In the last round of the first phase of the World Women's Volleyball League, Rio de Janeiro, the Chinese women's volleyball team and Serbia reunited, and the same as the Olympic preliminaries, Serbia did not come up with the strongest lineup to face China, after all, it has already qualified for the Olympics, Goody's only goal is to train newcomers and give full play to their potential, but this does not mean that Serbia will easily send points, in the face of Thailand, Serbia has a statistic that is quite amazing, scoring 16 to 0 in a single game, plus the marginal players want to show themselves, so as to get the Olympic ticket, they will definitely fight for ChinaIn other words, if China can't even win the second team of Serbia, it will be meaningless to enter the Olympics.
After China lost to Canada, the world ranking points lost a lot, one eliminates the other, Canada has seen hope, China's position is not safe, before China in the Olympic preliminaries, many people did not expect, now, under the guidance of Cai Bin, any possibility will have, the second stage, the main force of the major teams will return, imagine that the Netherlands and Canada in the next game to defeat the strong team, then China is really dangerous, fortunately Serbia is ranked in front of China, if China wins the game, You can get a maximum of 10.92 points, which can stop losses in time, otherwise, if you don't get this point, the margin for error in the next few stops will be much smaller, and it may become a turning point.
Thailand and South Korea are hard to win, Asian teams, only Japan to maintain a full victory, Thailand after the change of coach, but also lost Aye Charapong, the level plummeted, but in this round, Thailand to face Canada, although it is unreliable to hand over the fate to others, but if Thailand can block Canada, it is definitely good news for China, even if it can't win, as long as it can get one or two games, Canada will not get a big score, but in the current state, Thailand has no desire, it is difficult to stop the morale of Canada, Canada is far from the Netherlands, It's only less than three points, and South Korea doesn't need to say much, its ability is too poor, but the Dominican Republic now has problems with passing and defense, plus there is no Olympic pressure, maybe South Korea will get some opportunities.
The highlight of this round, of course, is Italy vs. Turkey, among several traditional strong teams, only Italy's situation is worse than China's, Agnu is not there, there is no change in whether to change the coach, especially on the offensive side, Antropova can't replace Agnu at all, several main attackers also depend on the mood, the efficiency fluctuates, only the blocking net is still online, but the opponent is Turkey after all, the main force can not ensure victory, now the shortcomings are obvious, the pressure to win is too great, and there is another point, Italy's own world points are not safe, only five points more than China, Canada is chasing after and cannot be taken lightly, Turkey also has its own problems, Vargas needs to adjust his form, but after all, there is no Olympic pressure.
