On September 18, the women's volleyball competition of the 14th National Games in 2021 entered the third round of the big loop. The first game was the match between the Shandong women's volleyball team and the Tianjin women's volleyball team.
In the first two rounds of the game, the Shandong women's volleyball team lost 2-3 to the Liaoning women's volleyball team, 0-3 to the Shanghai women's volleyball team, and only accumulated 1 point in the two rounds, ranking second from the bottom. The Shandong women's volleyball team is now relatively passive, and it is difficult to continue to lose and enter the top four. Tianjin women's volleyball team lost 2-3 to Jiangsu women's volleyball team, 3-0 victory over Liaoning women's volleyball team, two rounds of 4 points, ranking third.
The Tianjin women's volleyball team sent Li Yingying, Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Yao Di, Yu Zhenwei and Meng Zixuan to start. The Shandong team sent Zhang Qian, Qian Jingwen, Mei Xiaohan, Song Liqi, Wang Mengjie and Yang Hanyu to start. The Shandong team sent the strongest squad. This is better than the Liaoning team. Facing the powerful Tianjin team, the Liaoning team chose to give up, and the Shandong team dared to show the sword.
Sure enough, in the first inning, the Shandong team changed the previous two downturns and fought hard with the Tianjin team. Yuan Xinyue flew back, and the two sides played 2:2. Li Yingying was blocked by the slam ball, Sun Jie played a small slash to win, and Shandong team took a 4-2 lead. Wang Yizhu and Wang Yuanyuan made meritorious contributions respectively, and the Tianjin team chased the score to 5 draws. Yang Hanyu served, Li Yingying received a pass, and Shandong team took a 7:5 lead. Tianjin's strength is strong and did not give Shandong a chance to open the score. At 10:8, Wang Yuanyuan and Li Yingying made their respective achievements, and tianjin team won the score at 12:10. Li Yingying hit the ball across the net, and Shandong took a 16:15 lead. However, the Shandong team was mismatched, and Yang Hanyu jumped up and slammed the ball, and the score became 16 draws. Shandong coach Li Yanlong shook his head helplessly, and there were many mistakes on both sides.
The two sides played to a 22 draw. The Tianjin team blocked the boundary, Yang Hanyu played the probe successfully, and the Shandong team won the set point at 24:22. Tianjin called a timeout. At the crucial moment, Sun Jie served out of bounds. This mistake is too undeserved, too particular about quality, but lost points. Li Yingying served the ball, and after many rounds, Wang Yizhu beater out of bounds. Li Yingying scored a slam, and Tianjin team overtook the score. Sun Jie slammed the ball, and Tianjin team scored in the net. Tianjin won the first set 26:24.
It was a pity that Shandong lost this round. In the last minute, Sun Jie's serve error was fatal and gave Tianjin a chance. Sun Jie slammed the ball in the No. 2 position, liked to buckle the opponent's back 2, and had no effect, and was caught by the opponent every time. The last ball, Sun Jie, hastily slammed the ball and was directly stopped by the opponent. In this round, Sun Jie had a relatively big problem and wasted the opportunity of the Shandong team. This will be the turning point of the game.
In the second set, Li Yingying scored two times to give Tianjin a 3-2 lead. Mei Xiaohan chased 3 hands into 3 draws after the second dunk, and Yao Di showed an incredible look. Li Yingying scored again with a slam, and then made a mistake in the serve and became a 4 draw. There were a lot of mistakes in this game. Wang Yizhu scored with a slam, Yao Di scored the second ball, and Tianjin scored 4 consecutive points to open up the point difference. The Shandong team scored 2 points in a row, but did not expect Mei Xiaohan to make a mistake in serving, and the point difference was 3 points. This mistake is too much. Wang Yizhu and Li Yingying respectively made contributions, and Tianjin team took a 12:8 lead. Then Wang Yizhu made a mistake in his serve.
Yuan Xinyue scored with a slam and the score came to 16:11. Yao Di passed the ball to Yuan Xinyue behind him at close range at the net, Yuan Xinyue may not be prepared enough, plus the ball was passed a little backward, Yuan Xinyue also emptied. Yao Di and Yuan Xinyue were embarrassed after looking at each other. How can there be such mismatch behavior.
Sun Jie scored a goal, the score came to 18:16, Shandong only trailed by 2 points, there is still a chance. Unexpectedly, Qian Jingwen also served out of bounds. At this time, Wang Yizhu also followed the serve out of bounds. This is the second time Wang Yizhu has conceded a point in this set. After Li Yingying scored a slam, Tianjin won the set point 24:21. After Shandong team defended a set point, it was Li Yingying who dunked violently, and Tianjin team won the second set 25:21.
The first inning did not win the Shandong team in a good situation, and the blow to the team members was relatively large. In the second inning, the spirit of the Shandong team was not so full, and the momentum was relaxed.
Losing two sets in a row, the self-confidence of Shandong players has been reduced. In the third set, he played less actively and had no intention of fighting. Wang Yuanyuan made a mistake in his serve, and the two sides started 2-2. There were a lot of mistakes on this serve. At one point, Shandong led Tianjin 10:7, and Tianjin scored eight consecutive points to overtake Shandong at 15:10. The severe jam wheel made the Shandong players completely lose confidence. Tianjin won the third set 25:16.
In the end, Tianjin defeated Shandong 3-0 to win two consecutive wins. Shandong suffered three consecutive defeats. This result is not surprising, after all, there is still a gap in strength between the two sides.
In this game, shandong team still has ideas, played very positively in the first set, and dared to fight with Tianjin team. The turning point of the game was when Shandong won the set point 24:22 in the first set, and Sun Jie sent the ball out of bounds directly to send points. Originally, the Shandong team had a chance, but it was necessary to give the Tianjin team a chance, so the game was not easy to play. Tianjin scored three more consecutive points and won the first set in a reversal. The first set was not won, the blow to the Shandong team was relatively large, and there was a lack of confidence in the back, and it was difficult to organize an effective attack. And there are too many mistakes on both sides. This is very detrimental to the confidence of the players. The Tianjin team is fine, after all, the strength is strong and can be saved. The Shandong team is different, many service mistakes and loss of points, the player's breath will be relaxed.
Tianjin already has 7 points, and they have no problem advancing to the final four. The Shandong team only scored 1 point in three rounds, and it is estimated that there is no hope of promotion.
