　　Chinanews.com, Beijing, May 19 (Reporter Xing Rui) In the early morning of the 19th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in the last opponent of the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League (hereinafter referred to as the World League) Brazil team. In the case of losing one game first, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally achieved a reversal and defeated the opponent 3:1. The scores of the four games were: 21:25, 25:15, 25:18, 25:18.

　　In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team sent the main attackers Li Yingying and Wang Yunrui, the secondary attackers Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan, Gong Xiangyu, the second setter Diao Linyu and the free man Wang Mengjie. The Serbian women's volleyball team, which has already qualified for the Paris Olympics, did not play with its main team.

　　At the beginning of the game, the Chinese women's volleyball team was in a backward state, and it was not until Li Yingying blocked Bijelica's smash that the Chinese team struggled to pass the round. Then the Chinese team gradually found its rhythm, and the difference between the two sides continued to narrow. Until the end of the game, after the two teams were deadlocked to 19 draws, the Serbian team made another effort and took the lead 25:21.

　　In the second game, the Chinese women's volleyball team gradually established a lead from the opening stage. Although the Serbian team was not to be outdone and had obvious momentum in counterattack, Diao Linyu's serve repeatedly destroyed the opponent's pass, and the Chinese women's volleyball team pulled back a game at 25:15.

　　In the third game, the Chinese team took advantage of the victory to chase and continued to increase points in Li Yingying's service round. The Serbian team adjusted its lineup and launched a counterattack. After a slight adjustment in the middle game, the Chinese women's volleyball team stabilized its position and won another game.

　　In the fourth game, the confident Chinese women's volleyball team quickly established a lead, and the Serbian team replaced Lozo with the main attacker Milenkovic, trying to reverse the passive situation, but with little success. The Chinese team led all the way, grabbed 7 match points at 24:17, and successfully cashed in on the 2nd match point to win this precious victory.

　　After defeating the Serbian team, the Chinese women's volleyball team scored 8.42 points and ranked 6th in the real-time world rankings. At the same time, the Chinese team also ended the World Women's Volleyball League Brazil with three wins and one loss.

　　On the whole, the Chinese women's volleyball team played its due level in this competition. Whether it was a 3:0 sweep of the South Korean team, or a 3:1 reversal of the United States team and the Serbian team, the team has delivered a satisfactory answer in terms of team cooperation and tactical execution. However, the loss to the Canadian team also exposed the old problems of the Chinese women's volleyball team, such as unstable passing and unsatisfactory tandem.

　　As we all know, this year's World League is about the final quota place for the Paris Olympics. After the end of the Brazil station, the Chinese women's volleyball team will also participate in the Macau and Hong Kong games. In the next stop, Zhu Ting, a world-class player with rich experience in the game and both offense and defense, is expected to return to the team, which will undoubtedly add a heavy guarantee to the Chinese women's volleyball team to compete for Olympic qualification.

　　According to the schedule, the Macau match will start on May 29, and the Chinese women's volleyball team will play against the Netherlands, Japan, Thailand and Italy. (ENDS)
