On the evening of September 27, Beijing time, the Chinese women’s volleyball team, which is competing in the 2022 Women’s Volleyball World Championships in the Netherlands, presented the second opponent in the first stage of the group stage – the Colombian women’s volleyball team. Gong Xiangyu, who missed the first game due to injury, returned to the starting line-up and played almost the whole game. The Chinese women’s volleyball team, which had completed the main boss, also won three consecutive games with 25 :16, 25:21 and 25:16, winning two in a row. On the night of the 28th, the Chinese women’s volleyball team will compete with the Japanese women’s volleyball team.
At the start of the campaign, the Chinese women’s volleyball team’s strategy of limiting the opponent’s attack by serving the ball worked, and a 6:1 offensive wave forced the coach of the Colombian team to call a timeout. Nevertheless, the Colombian team still failed to set an offensive peak after that, and the Chinese team easily won the first game with 25:16.
Like the Argentine women’s volleyball team defeated by the Chinese women’s volleyball team in the first match, the overall strength of the Colombian women’s volleyball team is also lower than the Chinese team, which is currently ranked 16th in the world. In the previous group round, they lost to the Japanese women’s volleyball team with a total score of 0:3. However, in the second match of the battle between China and Colombia, the Colombian women’s volleyball team took full advantage of the Chinese team’s lack of passing opportunities and scored 21 points. Fortunately, the Chinese team adjusted in time and won the match as desired . In the third match, the Chinese women’s volleyball team did not leave any chance to the opponent, kept the lead and finally won the match successfully.
In this game, Li Yingying, who scored 18 points, scored the highest score in two consecutive games. Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan and Wang Yunxiang all scored in double figures. In addition, Gong Xiangyu, the main supporter who has not yet fully recovered from the ankle injury, played well on the court, and her high fighting spirit and tenacious style also helped to improve morale the team.
In other matches on September 27, the United States women’s volleyball team, the Brazilian women’s volleyball team and the Italian women’s volleyball team defeated their opponents 3-0, also leading to two consecutive victories. Next, the Chinese women’s volleyball team will lead a tough battle, facing the old Japanese women’s volleyball team that competes at 20:15 on the evening of September 28th, Beijing time.
