2023 Asian Women’s Volleyball Championship (30 August - 6 September, 2023)

  • A few years ago, Wu Meng-jie was a MB and Liu Yu was an OH.

    Now Wu Meng-jie is an OH and Liu Yu is a MB.

    S - Yu Yao-chen, Chen Lei-yang
    OP - Jiang Chuan, Dai Qing-yao

  • A few years ago, Wu Meng-jie was a MB and Liu Yu was an OH.

    Now Wu Meng-jie is an OH and Liu Yu is a MB.

    No wonder I heard some comment from those who know that Wu Mengjie was in MB position previously thus she is also good in blocking. I just learned about Liu Yu in this tournament, she is faster than Yang HY, nimbler! I like Liu's playing and court awareness. But at 22 with 187, tough for her to enter the NT first team.

  • This is the Yang-Semifinal, a fight between two 'Yang' forces: CHN & VIE teams are likened to the Yang force in Tao's Yin-Yang philosophy -- the Hard force; while JPN & THA are likened to the Yin force -- the Soft form.


    Thus this first semifinal match is a showdown between the Hardened Yang vs. the Rising Yang... the rising team will still need years to polish their skill and maturity... and I think the most important thing for VIE at present is to cement their Top-4 position in Asia! They need to watch out very carefully the comeback of KOR squad at any time! In the meantime, Welcome to the Top Four position in ASIA after decades-long efforts 👏🏽🫰 VIE, the Deputy Queen of the S.E.A.


    25-13, 25-12, 25-22
