CAMCE, Jakarta, August 23 (special reporter Yuan Hao) This afternoon, the Chinese women's volleyball team welcomed the first strong team, South Korea, in the group match of the Asian Games. In the end, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the match 3-0, winning the group match three times in a row, and its qualification is in sight.

At this Asian Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team was divided into Group B with Vietnam, Chinese Taipei, South Korea, Kazakhstan and India. In the first two games of the group match, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated their opponents 3-0 in the face of the Vietnam team and the Chinese Taipei team. In the face of the strongest Korean team in the group, the Chinese women's volleyball team also defeated the opponent 3-0, showing a good competitive state.

In the face of the South Korean team led by Jin Ruanjing, the Chinese women's volleyball team showed no carelessness, and the main players Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Liu Xiaotong and Lin Li all played. In the three games, except for the first game, the South Korean team met the stubborn resistance of the South Korean team. In the second and third games, the South Korean team scored no more than 20 points, and the Chinese team defeated the opponent relatively easily.

Although the result was perfect, Yuan Xinyue said that the process was not as easy as expected, "because we were well prepared and played well". As for whether the rivals have reservations, Yuan Xinyue said that both sides still have room for further improvement.

In the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the second team of the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the South Korean team in the final, and was not the champion. In this Asian Games, in order to prepare for the World Championships and regain the championship of the Asian Games, the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team sent the strongest team except Zhang Changning to participate. Zhang Changning was injured in the training in Beijing earlier. To be on the safe side, she did not come to Jakarta with the team.

Although the whole main team played, Lang Ping, the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, still said that "Asian champions also have to fight". At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team has not yet encountered real challenges. In the knockout phase, Japan, South Korea and Thailand are the tough opponents, and the test of the Chinese women's volleyball team is still to come.
