The result of this match between the Chinese women's volleyball team and Serbia will determine whether the Chinese women's volleyball team can advance as the group leader.
This game is a matchup between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Serbia women's volleyball team. Both sides have super-first-class attackers, and in the main offensive position of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the partnership of Zhu Ting and Li Yingying is getting better; Serbia's top attacker Boskovic has played well in this Olympic Games and has shown super strength. In the first game, the scores of the two teams alternated upwards, and Boskovic seized the key point opportunity at the end of the game to help the team win the first game 25-21.
In the second game, the Chinese women's volleyball team fought hard to serve and attack, and also tried to improve the defensive intensity.

In the end, Zhu Ting made the final decision, and the Chinese women's volleyball team equalized 25-20.
In the third game, the offensive and defensive intensity of the Cypriot women's volleyball team continued to improve. Zhu Ting was substituted after a save and had an ice pack wrapped around her wrist from a previous surgery to relieve the pain of an old injury. With Wu Mengjie coming off the bench, the Chinese women's volleyball team continued to fight with the opponent to defend. The Chinese team stabilized its mentality and successfully blocked Boskovic in succession to open the score again. Serbia also used a strong blocking net to chase points, and at the critical moment, Wu Mengjie, Li Yingying and other firepower points successively made a threat, and the Chinese women's volleyball team overtook the game 25-22.
In the fourth game, the Chinese women's volleyball team stabilized its mentality and patiently dealt with the opponent when Zhu Ting was unable to appear. Wu Mengjie continued to start in this game, giving full play to the advantages of physical fitness and mentality. Gong Xiangyu held up the diagonal of the main attack and became a headache for Serbia. Wang Yuanyuan won the match point for the Chinese team in the face of adversity. After that, the Chinese team waited for the opponent to hit the boundary, but the Serbia team appealed to get the 1 point back. After many twists and turns, Li Yingying smashed the ball from a distance and won the game 29-27 for the Chinese team.
In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team took the lead in attack, defense and serve. Li Yingying scored a team-high 28 points, while Gong Xiangyu and Wang Yuanyuan scored 17 and 11 points, respectively. Zhu Ting left the court halfway and still contributed 7 points, including 2 blocked nets. Serbia's star wide attacker Boskovic scored a game-high 39 points but still couldn't help his team win. The Chinese women's volleyball team advanced to the quarterfinals with the first place in the group and is expected to get a favorable match.
