In the 17th round of the A-level playoffs in the 2024-2025 season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League Group D, the defending champion Tianjin Bohai Bank women's volleyball team swept the Shandong Rizhao Steel women's volleyball team with a score of 3-0 (25-20, 25-23, 25-16), successfully securing the top spot in the group.
The starting lineup for Shandong women's volleyball team in this game was main attackers Du Qingqing and Jie Shengyan, deputy attackers Yang Hanyu and Wang Wenhao, spiker Sun Jie, second passer Jie Shengyu, and libero Wu Xinyu. On the other hand, Tianjin women's volleyball team sent out main attackers Li Yingying and Wang Yuzhu, deputy attackers Wang Yuanyuan and Fetisova, spiker Chen Boya, second passer Yao Di, and libero Liu Liwen.
According to the overall technical statistics published by both sides, the total score is Tianjin 75-59 Shandong, offensive points are Tianjin 56-31 Shandong, block points are Tianjin 7-7 Shandong, serve points are Tianjin 5-3 Shandong, and self-loss points are Tianjin 18-7 Shandong.
In terms of individual data, Li Yingying of Tianjin women's volleyball team continued her fiery form, scoring 20 points (30 hits, 18 successful, 1 block, 1 serve) on her own, with a spike success rate as high as 60%, especially stable in handling key points. Foreign aid Fetisova performed brilliantly, scoring 13 points with all 10 hits, including 2 blocks and 1 serve point, with an offensive efficiency of 100%.
Wang Yuzhu contributed 11 points (28 hits, 10 successful, 1 block), Liu Meijun played well after coming off the bench, scoring 10 points (16 hits, 7 successful, 1 block, 2 serves), Wang Yuanyuan scored 9 points (13 hits, 7 successful, 1 block, 1 serve), and Yao Di scored 3 points (3 hits, 2 successful, 1 block).
On the contrary, although many players from Shandong women's volleyball team scored in double digits, their overall offensive efficiency was low, failing to form an effective attack and defense system. Among them, spiker Sun Jie scored the highest 9 points (22 hits, 8 successful, 1 serve) in the team, Du Qingqing and Yang Hanyu contributed 8 points (19 hits, 7 successful, 1 block) and 7 points (12 hits, 4 successful, 3 blocks) respectively, Jie Shengyan scored 8 points (23 hits, 7 successful, 1 serve), but they seemed to have few options when facing Tianjin's strong blocking defense.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yingying was still the absolute core of Tianjin team in this game, showing top-notch level whether in strong attacks or defensive end. In addition, the mistake-free performance of foreign aid Fetisova in this game also made Tianjin's midfield attack more efficient, and second passer Yao Di connected the team's offense well, providing a guarantee for the tactic of multi-point blooming.
Tianjin Bohai Bank women's volleyball team has been advancing all the way in Group D, and after this game, it has firmly occupied the top of the group, basically locking in a top four position, showing its strong dominance.
After the game, Tianjin women's volleyball team head coach Chen Fang was not very satisfied with the team, saying: "Generally speaking, our team's small ball connection is stronger than before, but this time there were more self-losses. On the contrary, Shandong team played well. Whether it was serving, defense, or offensive play, Shandong team performed quite well, putting great pressure on us, and we will summarize it well."
Next, Tianjin women's volleyball team will continue to adjust its state and strive to maintain a winning streak in the playoffs to pave the way for the road to defending the championship.
