China B played their hearts out with Italy, seriously I have never seen that team play so carefree and focused with so few mistakes and doubts. They played like they had nothing to lose and were so pumped up and emotional afterwards that it drained them for the USA game. They really were lethargic and slow reacting against US. However don’t dismiss this US team, this is their possible Olympic team and all members are playing for a spot. I have seem them play in college games and they are world class. They only needed a little time to gel. Trust me the US has an ocean of talent, it’s only a matter of making the right choice from the coach.
The problem China has is - Italy with Paolo Egonu (100 kmph spike, 100 kmph SERVE). China was unable to beat Italy with Egonu. It was both a physical and mental block. It was very difficult to block and dig 100 kmph spike, and receive a 100 kmph serve(normally only seen in Men's volleyball). It was just recently China was able to beat Italy, in a gruelling 5 set match. Coming from behind 0-2, and ending a 5th set tied at 13-13. It was Li Ying Ying stuff block of an Egonu spike that broke the ice.
Completely agree, USA has more than enough talents, they only need a good coach to make it a dominating team. It is sad though USA doesn’t have its own professional league, that USA players have to go to Italy, Turkey to play volleyball. If USA build up its own league which it certainly can, we may see several US “Egonu” coming up in few years.
Why is eveyone so concerned without Zhu on the Chinese line up? There are Chinese athletes out there who deserve a chance and perform equally good. I mean come on, putting in zhu on court in this match doesnt guarantee China a win to be honest. This B Team beat Italy 3-1 while the alleged A Team beat italy 3-2. USA beat China's A Team 3-0 and beat B Team 3-1.
@@shermanpeabody6102 yes that's true but Brazil strength is not enough to get the Title from USA. Look how the players of both team played in every game.
EUA tem um timaço!!! Excelentes sacadoras e atacantes e o bloqueio mais forte dessa competição. Mas se o Brasil jogar com um passe estável e o foco que jogou contra a Turquia pode bater o time americano. As novatas já provam que tem talento e estão com sede de defender a seleção como titulares. Independente se ganharem ou não a final o que não pode é voltar p/ o Brasil e substituir as talentosas novatas pelas vovós. Isso só vai atrapalhar a evolução desse novo grupo.
Chinese women super strong. China's men... very weak. China's baseball teams, always lost to Taiwan ( provinces), from kids to adults. Always humiliated.
their biggest problem it's not turkey, brazil or usa, but it's Italy. Paolo Egonu's 100 kmph serve, and spike. But they somehow manage to deal with that problem.
China’s second lineup? Well this USA’s third line up. Hahaa. Still US dominated China. In the prelims, Zhu Ting played but wasn’t enough. And again, China got beaten by the US.
@@Astro-sc3go , during the 2016 Olympics, China lost many games in the preliminary rounds, and was seeded 3rd or 4th place. But in the knockout stage, China manage to win every game, and the gold medal. Volleyball is a fickle game, much like baseball.
