On June 30, Beijing time, the first round of the third week of the 2022 World Women's Volleyball League continued. Two games had surprising results. For example, Turkish women's volleyball team lost to the Canadian team 21-3, and the Japanese women's volleyball team lost 2-3 to the Dutch team. The Japanese women's volleyball team suffered its first defeat. The results of other games were quite normal. The Italian team defeated the Polish team 3-1, the Thai team defeated the South Korean team 3-0, the Serbian team defeated the German team 3-1, the Bulgarian team defeated the Dominican Republic 3-0, the Chinese team lost to the Brazilian team 2-3, and the American team Defeated Belgium 3-0.
After this round, the situation of promotion has become clearer. The US team ranked first with 24 points and 8 wins and 1 loss, the Japanese team ranked second with 24 points and 28 wins and 1 loss, the Brazilian team ranked third with 20 points and 7 wins and 2 losses, and the Italian team ranked third with 20 points and 7 wins and 2 losses. No. 4. These four teams have qualified for the finals.
The Serbian team ranked fifth with 6 wins and 3 losses and 17 points. The Chinese team ranked sixth with 5 wins and 4 losses and 17 points. The Turkish team ranked seventh with 5 wins and 4 losses and 16 points. The Thai team ranked fifth with 5 wins and 4 losses and 15 points. No. 8. As the host nation, the Turkish team directly won a spot in the finals. Serbia, China, and Thailand, these three teams have great hopes of advancing to the finals.
The Canadian team ranked 9th with 4 wins and 5 losses and 12 points. The Polish team ranked 10th with 11 points and 4 wins and 5 losses. They also hope to compete for the quarterfinals. The following Dominican, Bulgarian, Belgian, Dutch, German and Korean teams have no hope. The South Korean team became the only team to maintain a complete defeat. Without and Jin Ruanjing , the Korean team has become a completely different team.
So is it possible for the Canadian team and the Polish team, which are ranked ninth, to counterattack and surpass the Chinese team and squeeze out the Chinese team to advance to the finals? Compared with these two teams, the Chinese team has only one victory advantage, which is only 5 to 6 points more. There are still relatively big advantages.
Behind the Chinese team are Poland, Dominica and South Korea. Behind the Canadian team are the Serbian team, the German team, and the Dutch team. Behind the Polish team are the Chinese team, the Dominican team, and the Bulgarian team.
It is estimated that it will be difficult for the Canadian team to beat the Serbian team. The Serbian team is much stronger than the Canadian team. As long as they don't give in, they won't lose to the Canadian team. The Serbian team also wants to get a spot in the finals as early as possible, so it should not let go. So even if the Canadian team wins the next two teams, it will only have 6 wins at most.
The three opponents behind the Chinese team are not strong. If the Chinese team beats the Polish team, it will have 6 wins. Even if the Polish team beat the Dominican team and the Bulgarian team, they would only have 6 wins at most. With the points advantage, the Chinese team can surpass the Polish team and the Canadian team. The Italian team defeated the Polish team, which indirectly helped the Chinese team. However, given Italy's strength, as long as they don't let anything slip, they will definitely be able to beat the Polish team.
Therefore, as long as the Canadian team loses to the Serbian team in the next round and the Chinese team wins the Polish team, the Chinese team can advance to the finals two rounds in advance. Of course, even if the Chinese team cannot advance to the finals two rounds in advance, it can still advance by defeating the next two teams. In short, the Chinese team has great hopes of advancing to the finals. Fans don’t need to worry, Cai Bin can also rest assured.
As for the Thai team, they will also face the Dominican Republic, Brazil and Italy. It will be difficult for them to win against Brazil and Italy. So even if the Thai team beats the Dominican team, they will only have 6 wins, but their points may reach 18 points. The Thai team is likely to advance to the finals with a points advantage.
The match between the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team and the Polish Women's Volleyball Team will be held at 21:30 on the evening of June 30. CCTV5 will broadcast the game live. I will also share the live game, so stay tuned!
