In a focus match on match day 5 of the Basili Station of the 2024 World Women's Volleyball League that ended in the early morning of May 19th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team reversed the Serbian women's volleyball team 3-1 after losing 1 game first, winning 3-1. The negative record ended the journey in Brazil. After contributing 8 blocks against the US team, the Chinese women's volleyball team's assistant attacker Wang Yuanyuan had another highlight in this campaign.
In this game, facing the Serbian team that was not playing in the main lineup, the Chinese women's volleyball team had the upper hand in both serve and block. And Wang Yuanyuan’s contribution is indispensable. In this game, Wang Yuanyuan and Diao Linyu still cooperated tacitly with the fast ball in front of him on the offensive end. The sharp fast break made Serbia difficult to guard against. The match point of this game was won by Wang Yuanyuan's dunk.
In this campaign, Wang Yuanyuan made 13 of 16 dunks, with double-spike rates reaching 81% and 75% respectively. Not only offense, Wang Yuanyuan's specialty in blocking is still online. She scored 3 points through blocking. In addition, Wang Yuanyuan's previous shortcoming - serving, also scored 3 points. She scored 19 points in the whole game and was tied with Li Yingying as the team's leading scorer. This performance is indeed world-class.
It can be said that Wang Yuanyuan's performance in the first game is the biggest highlight of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In fact, not only this year's World League, but also last year's World League Wang Yuanyuan has made great progress. After veteran Yan Ni retired, Wang Yuanyuan successfully took over during the Paris Olympics cycle, and inherited her predecessor's outstanding blocking skills and became the "wall sister" of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In the next stop, the Chinese women's volleyball team will compete with powerful teams such as Japan, the Netherlands, and Italy. We look forward to Wang Yuanyuan's equally dazzling performance against more powerful opponents.
