It should be said that Boskovic's absence has significantly reduced the overall strength of their team, and there is no stable strong offensive point, although other side offensive strength is OK, but compared to Boskovic, the gap is still relatively large, and it is difficult to score points when encountering difficult balls and big attacks.
The Chinese women's volleyball team lost the first game on the offensive end and did not play, almost collectively sluggish, Li Yingying and Wang Yuanyuan took the lead in the second game, and finally they both scored 19 points each, Wang Yuanyuan was able to get the highest score in the team with a secondary attack, which was amazing, 16 deductions and 13 hits, 3 blocks and 3 serves, which is very outstanding.
Li Yingying played a lot of difficult balls to help the team ferry, and the back three offenses also played well, with a relatively high hitting rate. Gong Xiangyu also played at a relatively high level, scored 18 points, stood up very well in the second position, and also played some difficult balls, Wang Yunlu and Yuan Xinyue's offensive success rate was lower, Yuan Xinyue's offensive rhythm was not good, and Diao Linyu was not well matched.
In another key game, the Italian women's volleyball team won three games in a row after losing one game first, reversing the host Turkish women's volleyball team 3-1 (25-27/25-21/25-21/25-19) and winning three consecutive victories in the event. The Turkish women's volleyball team scored a game-high 33 points against Vargas, and the Italian women's volleyball team scored a team-high 23 points against Antropova.
Although there is no Egnu, Italy is still very strong, Vargas is difficult to support, the world No. 1 Turkey has suffered two consecutive defeats, the first game is very fiercely contested, Turkey took the lead, Italy began to exert power, and Antropova played a good level, other attackers are also remarkable, and the overall performance is better than Turkey.
The French women's volleyball team won three games in a row after losing one game first, reversing the Bulgarian women's volleyball team 3-1 (19-25/25-21/25-11/29-27) and winning the first victory of the tournament. The Bulgarian women's volleyball team scored a game-high 23 points against Dudova, and the French women's volleyball team scored a team-high 20 points against Jikquier.
Interestingly, the first three matches of this match were all 3-1 reversals, which was a rare victory for France, a must-win for China, and an unexpected victory for Italy.
In the current standings, Poland has won three consecutive victories, and has not lost a game, ranking first, China got the third victory, the ranking rose to third, Brazil also won three games, and won China by a small score, so second, but they still have one game, and they can go up if they win, and they may fall if they lose, Italy has risen to fourth, and has risen in a row to win three in a row, and Japan has temporarily fallen to fifth, so the fourth game is very important.
