I feel Shanghai and Beijing will still participate in the final matches.
Leyva Martinez is still absent for Semifinal 3.
Sichuan VC proves itself in Set 3.

About Shanghai against Sichuan:
1. Liu Xiang-dong is tired but Song Yang proves himself. In Set 3, Sichuan VC is the best.
2. Zhang Yi-chen isn't the MB of Chinese NT. Only because his height of 1.93m? In fact, Rao Shu-han and Zhang Zhe-jia have been the main MBs of Chinese NT, haven't they?
3. Ren Qi needs more matches in order to find the feeling. Maybe he may return NT. his substitute players: Yang Ya-ning [2007-2008], Ding Hui [2009-2010], Kong Fan-wei [2011-2014], Chu Hui [2013-2014]
About Beijing against Bayi:
1. Only Mao Tian-yi is the main player in Set 3 and Set 4. Bayi won the two sets. However, young Li Li-ye and Qu Zong-shuai didn't keep it in Set 5.
2. Jiang Chuan is worse than before matches because the substitute OP, Wang Chen, didn't still not return. I hope he can be back in the finals.
3. I have no idea to say about John Perrin.
4. I have no idea to say about Li Mu's mind in Set 4. What did Kang Kang and Shan Qing-tao do?
I feel in the final matches, Shanghai will win Beijing much easier than before. You know why.
Michal Kubiak appears to be loaned to Beijing for the Final. I've looked on the V.League's page and the Panasonic Panthers page and he is still on those pages.

Due to lack of formalities about foreign players, Michal Kubiak didn't participate in Final 1 at least.

Kubiak will not play in Beijing?
In Final 1, it's yes. Please see the photo, I think Michal Kubiak is the 14th player in Beijing VC in theory. Jiang Chuan is still only one OP in Beijing VC in this match because Wang Chen doesn't return.

Michal Kubiak and Raul Lozano, the head coach of Chinese men's NT now and the head coach of Polish men's NT from 2005 to 2008, went to the auditorium before Final 1.
EDIT: Perhaps due to no more seats, Michal Kubiak sits behind the back billboard.
3rd Final 1:
Bayi 0-3 Sichuan [18-25,17-25,18-25] ties: 0-1 stacs
Bayi:
Main: Mao Tian-yi (S) 1, Tang Chuan-hang (OP) 1, Yuan Dang-yi (OH) 15, Zhong Wei-jun (OH) 4, Du Hao-yu (MB) 1, Li Yuan-bo (MB) 5, Qu Zong-shuai (L)

Substitute: Chen Bo-liang (S) 1, Chen Xi-long (OH) 0
Not Play: Song Yang (OP), Liao Guo (L), Cao Yi-ming (OP), Li Rui (OH), Qin Song (MB)
Final 1:
Shanghai 3-2 Beijing [25-19,18-25,23-25,27-25,15-8] ties: 1-0 stacs
Shanghai:
Main: Zhan Guo-jun (S) 3, Dai Qing-yao (OP/OH) 8, Facundo Conte (OH) 16, Julien Lyneel (OH) 8, Rao Shu-han (MB) 9, Zhang Zhe-jia (MB) 15, Ren Qi (L)
Substitute: Wang Jing-yi (OP) 13
Not Play: Xu Zhen-sen (S), Tian Cong (OH), Zhang Yi-chen (MB), Tong Jia-hua (L), Jiang Hong-bin (OH), Tao Zi-xuan (MB)
Beijing:

Substitute: Yin Jie (OH) 0, Hu Xi-zhao (MB) 0, Wang Dong-chen (MB) 4
Not Play: Wu Yi-wen (S), Shan Qing-tao (OH)
In Set 1 and Set 2, Dai Qing-yao played as an OP and in Set 4 and Set 5, he played as an OH.
I hope Michal Kubiak could participate in the finals early.
About 3rd Final 1:
Yuan Dang-yi and Leonardo Leyva Martinez returned. Tang Chuan-hang is still not good. Bayi's UE is so much. Therefore, Bayi lost the match.
About Final 1:
1. Reception and defence is so important.
2. Dai Qing-yao's height [about 2.08m] helped Shanghai much.
3. Li Run-ming's skill of setting the volleyball is still "unsteady".
4. Zhan Guo-jun's shoulder is injured. Many players of Shanghai VC is injured on shoulders such as Chen Long-hai, Dai Qing-yao, Zhang Zhe-jia, Zhan Guo-jun and so on. I hope to know why it is.
5. John Gordon Perrin is better than himself before due to ... Michal Kubiak's watching?
6. Wang Dong-chen is better than Gu Jia-feng though Gu is the fifth MB of Chinese men's NT in 2017 while Wang is still in U20 NT now.
7. Miao Ruan-tong as the best blocker in this season, needs more matches in order to prove himself that he is not worse than Zhang Zhe-jia and Rao Shu-han.
8. Could Ren Qi return Chinese men's NT? Please ask Raul Lozano.

Final 2
Beijing 3-0 Shanghai [27-25,25-20,28-26] ties: 1-1 stacs
Beijing:
Main: Li Run-ming (S) 2, Jiang Chuan (OP) 16, John Perrin (OH) 10, Kevin Tillie (OH) 15, Gu Jia-feng (MB) 4, Miao Ruan-tong (MB) 5, Chu Hui (L), Ding Hui (L)

3rd Final 2:
Sichuan 3-1 Bayi [25-19,19-25,25-20,25-17] ties: 2-0 stacs
Sichuan:
Main: Yang Guang (S) 2, Liu Xiang-dong (OP) 18, Du Hai-xiang (OH) 13, Leonardo Leyva Martinez (OH) 8, Peng Shi-kun (MB) 10, Wang Zhao-rui (MB) 7, Chen Tao (L)
Substitute: Chen Xi-long (OH) 0
Not Play: Song Yang (OP), Liao Guo (L), Chen Bo-liang (S), Cao Yi-ming (OP), Li Rui (OH), Qin Song (MB)
Bayi:
Main: Mao Tian-yi (S) 3, Xiu Cheng-cheng (OP) 16, Yuan Dang-yi (OH) 11, Li Li-ye (OH) 12, Du Hao-yu (MB) 8, Li Mu-zi (MB) 6, Qu Zong-shuai (L)
Substitute: Pei Jia-xing (L)
Not Play: Tang Chuan-hang (OP), Zhong Wei-jun (OH), Zhao Yi-chen (OH), Xu Jing-tao (MB), Li Yuan-bo (MB), Peng Bo (S)
Sichuan got the 3rd place again and Bayi got the 4th place again. It is the same as the one in Season 16/17.
About 3rd Final 2:
Although Bayi has "given up" the match, the young players have tried their best. So have Sichuan.
About Final 2:
1. Michal Kubiak is better than John Perrin.
2. Conte, Tillie and Ren Qi have added their own attention to their own reception.
3. The defense is very important. I feel Chinese men's volleyball doesn't focus on it more than women's for many years.
4. Li Mu and Shen Qiong aren't the best pre-head coach of Chinese men's NT after Raul Lozano is retired. We need more time to young coaches though time is not much.

Is Lyneel injured? Is that why Padar was brought in?
