In the first game, the Chinese team established an 11:4 lead by counterattacking the fastball and smashing the ball.

In the first half of the fourth game, both sides failed to open the score. After 15 draws, Li Yingying’s attack opened the situation, and Wang Yunyu succeeded in the back attack, and the Chinese team did not allow their opponents to score another point; with Gong Xiangyu blocking the score, the Chinese women’s volleyball team sealed the victory with 25:15 and defeated the South Korean women’s volleyball team with a big score of 3:1.
Yuan Xinyue, the leader of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, said after the game: “The team still had problems, but we did not give up in the process. We have been trying to find a way, and everyone is still working hard. Today’s blocking of the Korean team is not particularly successful, and we can do more good.”
On the 2nd, the Chinese team will face the last opponent of this station, the US team. Yuan Xinyue said: “With the attitude of striving for victory, I will contend with and attack the opponent, and give full play to my own strength.”
