THE QUEEN IS BACK !!! Zhu Ting DOMINATED Volleyball Nations League 2024. China beats Thailand in Women's Volleyball Nations League!
MACAO, June 1 (Xinhua) -- China eased past Thailand 25-23, 25-17, 25-18 in the FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League (VNL) here on Saturday.
Thailand dropped from 12th to 13th in the world rankings after the match with China.
China's outside hitter Li Yingying scored a game-high 23 points, followed by Zhu Ting with 17 and Yuan Xinyue with 13. Thailand's Kokram Pimpichaya collected a team high 15 points.
"We learned from yesterday's game (against Japan) and made targeted adjustments, which was quite successful today, but there were still some ups and downs during the game, and hopefully we can do better tomorrow," said Li in an interview.
Earlier in the day, Japan, which upset China 3-1 on Friday, beat the Dominican Republic 3-1, while Brazil edged Italy 3-2.
China and Japan, ranking 6th and 7th in the world, are both vying for a place at this summer's Olympic Games in Paris.
China beat the Netherlands 3-1 in their first match of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Women's Volleyball Nations League (VNL) in south China's Macao Special Administrative Region on Wednesday.
The Netherlands took the first set 25-21 but China, the top-ranked Asian team, clawed back to win the following sets 25-23, 25-23 and 25-21.
"It's our first match on this court and I think we will do better," said China captain Yuan Xinyue, Xinhua reported.
Elles Dambrink of the Netherlands scored a match-high 24 points, while Yuan contributed 17 points, the highest score for China.
29-year-old Zhu Ting was called up in the fourth set as she rejoined the Chinese squad after two years.
China's outside hitter Li Yingying, who referred to Zhu as "Sister Zhu," said, "We are very happy and welcome 'Sister Zhu' back to the team. Her strength is undoubtable, so even though we haven't played together for a long time and may be a bit unfamiliar with each other, her skills are still there. She is still Zhu Ting!"
