China News Service, Sapporo, October 2, following the 3-0 victory over Cuba and Turkey, the Chinese women’s volleyball team defeated Canada again with the same score on October 2, winning three consecutive wins in the group match.
In the history of the world championship, the Chinese women’s volleyball team and the Canadian team only had a confrontation in the 2010 group match, when the Chinese team swept the opponent by 3:0. Due to the disparity in strength, the two sides are not their main rivals. Because they were not familiar with their opponents, the situation of the first two games of the Chinese women’s volleyball team was stuck in glue for many times when they were against the Canadian team.
After the start of the game, the scores of both sides have been clenched. The Canadian team has a high quality of serve, which has a certain impact on the Chinese women’s volleyball team. The Chinese team once fell behind 20:21. After the request was suspended, the Chinese team got 4 points to get the game point. In the end, with Ding Xia’s strong attack and Liu Xiaotong and Yan Ni’s double block, the Chinese team won the first game at 25:21.

Yuan Xinyi scored a block, and the Chinese team was able to open the score at 22:18; after requesting suspension, the Canadian team chased the score to 21:23. After the Chinese team got the game point by blocking, the Canadian team went out of the border spiking sets. The Chinese team followed the next game at 25:21.
Although the Canadian team was still full of effort at the beginning of the third game, the Chinese team quickly opened the score and did not give the opponent too many chances to score. The victory was successfully locked at 25:13, thus 3:0 beat the opponent.
Yan Ni, a Chinese women’s volleyball team member, said after the game that the Chinese team started to enter a slower state, while the other side was relatively relaxed and played a little tight under the impact of the opponent. “The opponent played relatively tenacious, and we had some mistakes. The third game found the rhythm in blocking and defense.”
Lang Ping, the head coach of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, also said that in this encounter, the Chinese team did not find the feeling on the block in the first two games, and the third game improved. “We still thought of the difficulties, but the strain was relatively slow. The opponent serve was relatively aggressive, and our interception did not work, which led to a relatively passive, but the team performed well at the critical moment.”
