Except for losing a game against Turkey in the group stage, the Chinese U17 women's volleyball team swept all the knockout matches 3-0. Even a strong team like the Japanese women's volleyball team was not spared. Why can they have such a strong dominance?

Height advantage, strong offense, and high-profile shooting are all relevant but not the main point.

In the semi-finals, the Japanese team crushed the European champion Italian women's volleyball team 3-1, allowing their opponents to score only 17 points and 11 points in the first two games respectively. The Italian women's volleyball team not only had many tall players, but also had much better offensive power than the Chinese team, but they were beaten without any chance to fight back.

The Chinese team was able to crush Japan because they won in serving, using serve blocks to break down Japan's offensive system.

Sun Hongyun ranked fourth in the serving list, Zhang Zixuan ranked fifth, Chen Xiaohui and Yang Shuming ranked sixth, and Huang Yuexin ranked eighth. Five main players entered the top eight in the serving list. How terrifying it is. Five rounds of strong serving made the Japanese with excellent first pass unable to resist.

The huge score difference of 9-1 cannot reflect the whole story. Only after watching the game can you understand what a nightmare experience the serve of the main players of the U17 women's volleyball team brought to the Japanese!

The first pass was missed repeatedly, and the Japanese had no way to play to their speed advantage; the adjustment attack was either blocked or made mistakes; they were behind for almost the entire three games, and they started with a five-point deficit in the key points, and they really had no power to fight back.

The one-sided game lost its intensity but made Chinese fans very happy.

At 8:00 am Beijing time on August 25, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated Japan 3-0 to win the first U17 Women's Volleyball World Championship. The scores of the three games were: 25-19, 25-22, and 25-18.

Two liberos receive the first pass

The two teams were fighting hard at the beginning of the first game. After the score was tied at 10-10, the Chinese team took advantage of the net by blocking with the serve, gradually widening the gap and taking the lead 13-10.

The team maintained an advantage of 3 to 5 points. When the game entered the crucial period, Yang Shuming adjusted his attack and hit the opponent out of bounds to score, 20 to 16.

Zhang Zixuan's pass hit the net, and Yang Shuming scored with a high-pressure lob, which made up for it well; in multiple rounds of balls, Sun Hongyun scored at the net, and then scored with a major adjustment when the attacker hit the ball out of bounds, and the Chinese team won the first game 25-19.

Huang Xinyue was closely guarded by the opponent in the first game and was not very efficient. He was substituted out from the back row. Coach Zhao Yong let the two liberos take charge of the first pass and free up the side attackers, which enabled Sun Hongyun to score key points repeatedly.

From the middle of the game, the Chinese team's serve caused the opponent's first pass to fluctuate repeatedly, making it difficult to launch a smooth and fast attack.

In the second game, the Japanese team led 3-1. Then Huang Yuexin tied the score in the serve round. After the score was tied at 6-6, the Japanese team used the serve to drive the block and repeatedly counterattacked to score points, leading 10-6. Sun Hongyun's jump serve was either missed by the opponent or the first pass was not in place.

In the middle stage of the game, Zhang Xixuan mobilized Chen Xiaohui's fast attack to score in the counterattack. The counterattack was so fast that even the Japanese team with good defense could hardly guard against it, and they took the lead 15-10.

The Japanese team's jump serve caused China's first pass rate to drop, allowing them to chase three points in a row. In return, China's next two serves caused Japan's first pass to fail, leading to an 18-13 lead again. China reached the critical point at 20-15.

Huang Yuexin scored points through tactical attack. When victory was in sight at 23-18, the Japanese team still fought desperately. Their powerful serves continuously caused fluctuations in the Chinese team's first pass, and they narrowed the score to 23 to 21.

Yang Shuming scored a point when the second player hit the ball out of bounds, getting the game point, and then scored again when the ball hit the ball out of bounds, winning the second game 25-22.

There were some twists and turns at the end of this game, but the height advantage of the spike made the opponent's block helpless.

Unstoppable

The third game was still fierce at the beginning, from 2-2 to 6-6, the same drama was played out, serving to attack the Japanese team's first pass, blocking and counterattack to open the score. In the middle stage, they led 15-10.

Yang Shuming's serving rhythm made the Japanese very fluctuating, as they were already tired of the frequent first pass fluctuations.

Huang Yuexin came on the court and grabbed a point at the net, 18 to 13; the Japanese team made a mistake in receiving the serve, and the Chinese team was far ahead 20 to 14.

Sun Hongyun's serve continued to attack the opponent's first pass, Huang Yuexin hit back, and the Chinese team got the championship point. Sun Hongyun's last serve was still not in place for the Japanese team's first pass, and the strong attack was blocked by Chen Xiaohui. 25 to 18, the Chinese team won the third game.

After the Japanese team thanked the audience, they all went over the net and came in front of Zhao Yong, then bowed together to show their respect to the strong man. The young Chinese players also bowed to the Japanese coach in return.

This was the first U17 World Championships, and the young players won a very memorable trophy. After the game, the organizing committee selected the best players, and three Chinese players were on the list. Yang Shuming won the MVP and best opposite; Yang Mixuan won the best setter; and Chen Xiaohui won the title of best outside attacker.
