Shaking off the chasing Japanese women's volleyball team, Li Yingying grabbed the scoring title! The Chinese women's volleyball team has cracked the "hard nut" of the American women's volleyball team
In the small Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, there was a roar of people, and the popular "Subject Three" music sounded, congratulating the Chinese women's volleyball team on an important victory.
On the morning of May 17th, Beijing time, at the Brazilian station of the World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the United States women's volleyball team 3-1 and achieved two consecutive victories. Li Yingying scored 20 points and became the scoring leader.
The Chinese Women's Volleyball Team and the American Women's Volleyball Team both won the first game, easily defeating the Korean Women's Volleyball Team and the Thai Women's Volleyball Team respectively. This game was also a strong dialogue. Because in another game, the Japanese women's volleyball team defeated the Turkish women's volleyball team 3-2, narrowing the world ranking point gap with the Chinese women's volleyball team. The Chinese women's volleyball team had no choice but to win and throw off the opponent's pursuit.
The starting lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team consists of main attackers Li Yingying and Wu Mengjie, assistant attackers Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan, supporting Gong Xiangyu, setter Diao Linyu, and libero Wang Mengjie. The starting lineup of the U.S. women's volleyball team consists of Larson and A-Skinner as main attackers, Ogbogu and Hall as secondary attackers, supporting Coutino, setter Carlini, and libero Orantes Huang.
The U.S. women's volleyball team, currently ranked second in the world, has qualified for the Paris Olympics. Head coach Kilary did not field the strongest lineup, but the U.S. women's volleyball team fought fiercely in the game. The Chinese women's volleyball team failed to adapt to the rhythm of the American women's volleyball team in the first game. There were problems with the offense, and the offensive success rate was less than 30%. When the U.S. team led 22-20, Wang Yunxiu came on as a substitute for Wu Mengjie. The latter lacked game experience and played a little nervously. He was chased by his opponent and found it difficult to perform.
After losing the first game, the Chinese women's volleyball team adjusted its state as quickly as possible and caught up, winning two consecutive games 25-23 and 25-22. In the crucial fourth game, the Chinese team established an 8-5 advantage at the beginning. Although the American team tied at 13, the Chinese team scored 4 more points to stabilize the situation. Since then, it has maintained its score advantage and finally won the game.
In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team won with excellent overall performance. Li Yingying continues to maintain strong firepower. Facing the US women's volleyball team, she has rich offensive methods and changeable routes and placements. She is the team's most relied upon scoring point. In addition, Wang Yuanyuan was remarkable, scoring 18 points, including 8 points for offense, 8 points for blocking, and 2 points for serving, both offensive and defensive; Gong Xiangyu scored 16 points; Yuan Xinyue scored 14 points; and Wang Yunxiang scored 7 points.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Changning served as a substitute and scored 1 point. When the Chinese team led 23 to 22 in the third game, Zhang Changning did not hesitate at the critical moment, served directly to score, and used his serve to drive the offense, helping the Chinese team win the key score and successfully win the game.
There is a lot to sum up in this game. For example, American main attacker Larson used changeable offensive methods at the fourth position, causing a lot of trouble for the Chinese team. In the next game, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the Canadian women's volleyball team.
