It is worth mentioning that the Women's Volleyball Finals of the last tournament was also a matchup between these two teams, when Ziyang Women's Volleyball won. Chengdu Women's Volleyball Team hopes to have a different ending this time. However, before the match, Chengdu Women's Volleyball suffered from a number of players suffering from colds, the strength of the team has been affected to some extent, and it is not easy to win the match.
The match started with the Ziyang women's volleyball team making the first move, taking the victory in the first set, 25-17. In the following two sets, Chengdu Women's Volleyball Team found their form and won two sets in a row, 25-17 and 25-18, successfully overtaking the total score. In the fourth set, Ziyang Women's Volleyball launched a fierce attack while Chengdu Women's Volleyball made frequent errors, resulting in a 16-25 loss and the match was back to a 2-2 tie. In the crucial decisive set, Chengdu Women's Volleyball Team was reversed by Ziyang Women's Volleyball Team when they were leading 6-3, and finally lost the match with 10-15, regretting to lose the match.
After the match, Wu Songlin, the coach of Chengdu Women's Volleyball Team, said, "The two teams played a great game today, we were a bit nervous at the beginning, but then we found our form. However, we made more errors ourselves, especially in the fourth and fifth sets, which was a bit of a pity." He believes that despite facing an away match next, there is not much difference. "We first need to minimize errors technically and keep our morale up mentally, and I hope the players can fully enjoy the finals match." Wu Songlin said.
In the men's volleyball finals starting at 7:30 p.m., Chengdu men's volleyball team will face Suining men's volleyball team, which is the defending champion. Although Suining Men's Volleyball eliminated the previous runner-up Mianyang Men's Volleyball in the semi-final, Chengdu Men's Volleyball was determined to win the match as the home team. In the first set, Chengdu Men's Volleyball easily won 25-13. In the second set, Suining Men's Volleyball Team started to strengthen their offense and took the lead, but Chengdu Men's Volleyball Team did not give their opponents more chances after they overtook the lead, and won the next set with 25-20. In the third set, Suining Men's Volleyball Team tried their best to give Chengdu Men's Volleyball Team a lot of trouble, and once chased the game to a 23-all tie, however, Chengdu Men's Volleyball Team scored points through blocking at the critical moment, and finally narrowly won 25-23 against Suining Men's Volleyball Team.
