full score

　　The Chinese and Japanese women's volleyball competition is one of the World Championships recommended by the FIVB.

The two teams are both Asian powerhouses with Olympic championship titles. They have met 14 times in the Asian Games, Asian Championships, and Asian Cup finals. The Chinese women's volleyball team won 10 gold medals, and the Japanese team won 4.

　　The last time the Chinese women's volleyball team won the World Championship was in 1986, and 8 players in this team competed in the World Championship for the first time.

After entering the Paris Olympic cycle, the Japanese women's volleyball team has also undergone a major change.

　　This is the second encounter between the Chinese and Japanese women's volleyball teams in the international arena this year.

In the World Women's Volleyball League held in Quezon, Philippines in June, the Chinese women's volleyball team was reversed after winning a game, and finally lost to the Japanese team 1:3.

　　In this World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated Argentina and Colombia with the same score of 3:0.

The Japanese team also won two consecutive victories after defeating Colombia and the Czech Republic, and the same game did not lose.

For the Chinese women's volleyball team, the overall strength of the Japanese team is significantly higher than the first two opponents. This is the team's first tough battle in this competition.

　　Since the results of the first stage of the group match will be directly carried over to the next stage, this strong dialogue is important for both sides.

Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese team, said before the game that the Japanese women's volleyball team has a good technical link and a faster overall speed.

For the Chinese women's volleyball team, playing their own rhythm is the top priority and cannot be run by opponents.

　　Due to an injury, the main supporter of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Gong Xiangyu, missed the match against Argentina.

In the last game against Colombia, Gong Xiangyu originally planned to continue the truce adjustment, but she finally appeared in the team's starting list.

It is understood that this is precisely because the coaching staff takes into account the old rival of the Japanese team, so it is hoped that Gong Xiangyu can adapt to the atmosphere of the World Championships in advance.

　　The starting lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team in this campaign is the same as that of the previous game, specifically: Li Yingying and Wang Yunliang as main attackers, Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan as secondary attackers, Gong Xiangyu in support, Diao Linyu in setter, and Wang Mengjie in free man.

　　As expected before the game, the game was in a stalemate from the very beginning, with the two teams fighting all the way from 0:0 to 14:14 in the first game.

Relying on the tenacity in defense and Li Yingying's consecutive 4th position attack, the Chinese women's volleyball team opened the point difference slightly, but the Japanese team quickly chased the score to 20:20 by serving.

　　After that, the scores of the two teams rose alternately.

The Chinese women's volleyball team won the key points by blocking the net in the fourth game point, thus winning the first place with 28:26.

　　After entering the second game, the Chinese women's volleyball service showed its power.

Due to the repeated destruction of the pass, the attacking threat of the Japanese team was greatly reduced, and the score difference was quickly opened.

At 25:17, the Chinese women's volleyball team led by 2:0.

　　In the third game, the Chinese women's volleyball team withstood the pressure while being passive in the middle, scored 4 points in a row when they were behind at 20:23, and finally ended the game at 29:27.

Overall statistics

　　According to the schedule, the Chinese women's volleyball team still has two games left at this stage, against the Czech team on the evening of the 29th Beijing time, and against the runner-up Brazil team in the Tokyo Olympics on the evening of October 1st.
