Since then, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and the Chinese team entered the first technical timeout with an 8:7 lead.

  After the suspension, the competition between the two parties has become more intense.

The Chinese women's volleyball team, who was temporarily leading at 15:14, missed the opportunity and was overtaken by the Korean team at 16:15 during the second technical timeout.

The two sides compete fiercely.

  The current World Women's Volleyball League starts on May 25th and ends on June 25th.

16 teams including China, the United States, Brazil, Italy, Russia, the Netherlands, and Japan will participate in the competition.

Undoubtedly, this is a good opportunity for the Chinese women's volleyball team to check the gaps and adjust the status before the Tokyo Olympics.

  In the early game, the Chinese women's volleyball team will send a new lineup to fight with the old team, the purpose is to allow the young players to get full exercise.

  Judging from the game on the day, although the Chinese women's volleyball team won in the end, it also exposed many problems. The serve and the first pass were not very stable.

Especially in the third game, the Chinese team slackened while leading by 11 points and was chased by the South Korean team for 6 points.

If such a mistake appears in the Olympics, the final result may disappoint the fans.

  Of course, it took only a few days from the arrival of the Chinese women's volleyball team in Italy to the start of the competition.

And different from previous years, all teams in this year's competition did not have the training time to adapt to the venue before the game, and all teams played directly on the field.

Before playing against the South Korean team, the Chinese women's volleyball team only arranged two training sessions.

  Due to time constraints, the Chinese women's volleyball team obviously couldn't find the rhythm at the beginning of the game. In the end, the first game was defeated by 23:25.

Zhang Changning, who scored the highest score in the game, also said in an interview after the game: "We were a little nervous at the beginning." But it is worthy of affirmation that as the game progresses, the Chinese team feels more and more smooth.

If mistakes can be reduced at critical moments, the entire game process may be much smoother.

  It is worth mentioning that after the first three weeks of the game, each team has an opportunity to change players.

Before the start of the competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team also updated the list of entries.

On the basis of the first announced list, six generals Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu, Li Yingying, Ding Xia, and Yan Ni were added.

According to CCTV reports, the second group of team members will arrive in Italy around June 5.

By then, fans are expected to see "Zhu Yuan Zhang" fit together on the court.

  Head coach Lang Ping left for Italy on the 21st Beijing time.

In the one-month competition, she has to overcome fatigue and injuries and supervise the battle throughout.

  For Lang Ping, who has been struggling for a long time on the front line, she has already made sufficient preparations: "This year's situation is quite special. As the head coach, I will supervise the training and competition of athletes throughout the entire process. Because I will be closed in the competition area for five weeks. I am fully prepared for difficulties, whether it is training, competition or life."

  This year's World Women's Volleyball League is the Chinese women's volleyball team's first appearance in two years.

The main purpose of the competition is still to test the results of the training and run-in the lineup.

In the next month, the girls will face more severe challenges.

Whether you win or lose, as long as the team can gain something and grow in the game, the trip to Italy is valuable.
