Before the matches, a critical warm-up game was held between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the host, Poland. The Chinese team began well but ended up losing three straight sets, finishing the match 1-3 against Poland, which means another loss for them. On the 24th, they will have a genuine clash as both teams compete for a place in the World League top four!
To expedite their rebuilding process, the Chinese women's volleyball team has incorporated many young players, who have begun to shine in this year's World League. After 12 intense rounds of competition, this young team has achieved commendable results, finishing fifth with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses, successfully securing a ticket to the finals. The Chinese team has now arrived in Poland, the venue for the finals, where they will directly compete against Poland in the quarterfinals.

Once the match commenced, the Chinese and Polish women's volleyball teams engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging points back and forth. In the final moments, the Chinese team managed to withstand the pressure, winning the first set 27-25. However, the subsequent matches took a dramatic turn as Poland launched a powerful offense. The Chinese team's attack faltered, leading to a swift defeat as they lost three straight sets with scores of 12-25, 14-25, and 16-25, resulting in a significant overall loss of 1-3. The defeat felt somewhat numbing!
From this match, it was clear that the Chinese women's volleyball team suffered greatly against Poland, particularly in the last three sets where the score differences were substantial. It must be said that Poland's hard power is significantly stronger than that of the Chinese team, making it challenging for us to compete. Therefore, looking ahead to the upcoming finals, with the added advantage of location and timing for Poland, our chances of winning are slim, and it is highly likely we could face elimination!
The finals between the Chinese and Polish women's volleyball teams will commence at 2 AM on the 24th, marking a true battle for survival. The anticipation is high, and it remains to be seen if an upset can occur. Although winning will be incredibly challenging, we must give our all. Let’s wait and see!
