The competition in this group where the Chinese women's volleyball team is already over. Although the Chinese team lost to the Brazil team, they still barely kept the first place in the group. In another group, Serbia and the United States team are also recognized as the strongest group in this World Championships. The battle for the first place in the group of these two teams started in the last round. In the end, Serbia defeated the United States 3:0. It’s not that Serbia won the United States so surprisingly. Sui Ran Serbia’s level has indeed declined in the past two years, and it is also slightly inferior to the United States in terms of overall strength, but it is reasonable to win the United States. The key is to sweep 3:0. The United States team failed to win a single game, which still makes people feel a bit surprised.
Of course, the Serbian team is indeed in excellent condition in this game, especially the strongest advantage of this team is its height. The attacks and defense in front of the net are very strong. It can be said that they have the world's top-notch strength in front of the net, but there are indeed some problems in the connection of small balls and the defense of the back row. In this game, their blocking team almost couldn't spike the ball, and they relied on defense to drive the offense, and eventually defeated the team. Especially their main attacker, , Boskovic , is also one of the top main attackers in the world, and their performance is very, very outstanding. In the last game, Boskovic chose to take a rest, just to keep his energy to play the United States.
However, in addition to the excellent performance of the Serbian team in this game, the US team's own early abandonment was also a very important reason for the defeat. In the first game, the US team was pretty average. All the main players fought against the Serbian team. The game was very anxious. However, from the second game, , Kilari, , started playing again, directly replaced all the main players and let a group of substitutes come on the bench, including the third game. In fact, the main players played very shortly. In the end, 0:3 was a normal loss to the Serbian team. They won the second place in the group in this group, and will also bring this result to the second stage. However, considering the situation in Group F that the US team encountered, in another group, teams like the Dominicans and Poland were able to win the top two in the group. The US team would not encounter the Serbian team in the second stage, so it is highly likely that it will achieve a record of winning all four games, so this loss will not have a big impact on the US team.

For example, the Serbian Boskovic, and every game we mentioned will be rotated on a large scale. Team USA may not be the best in the world in terms of absolute strength, but from the perspective of lineup depth, they are definitely the best in the world. So her core player may not be able to play in the entire game like Boskovic. But they played very shortly in every game, including Agnu, who did not play in the previous games against Kenya. So these three teams that are stronger than us are using large-scale rotations to allow their main core players to get rest in the relatively easy first-stage group stage.
Our first core Li Yingying fights to the end in every game, so in terms of physical fitness reserves, we are far behind these three very strong opponents. In addition, these teams use rotation. In addition to giving their main players plenty of rest time, they can also practice different tactics to allow some substitutes to have more playing time and better adapt to the World Championships.This is also very important, because there may be any unexpected situations in the subsequent games, including the main players in poor condition. For example, the Chinese women's volleyball team suffered two injuries in the group stage. In the first game, Gong Xiangyu had no way to play in , and in the last game, he had no way to play in Brazil. In , Wang Mengjie had no way to play in , and because of injury, he had no way to play in .
That can be seen, especially in the last game against Brazil, the players we replaced on the field were in very poor condition, and in the group stage we played , Argentina, , against a weak team like Colombia, and did not rotate the lineup, so this hidden danger is very, very big. These teams with stronger strength are better physical reserves than us, and the substitutes are also in better condition than us, which makes it very difficult for the Chinese team to defeat these teams by weak defeating the strong.
