Who is Jiangsu libero? She's quite good in defense and receive

Nee Feifan. She played well tonite. If she continues to perform, she could be selected for the NT. At the moment the country’s #1 libero is Wang (Shandong) and #2 is Lin (Fujian). However, there is talk that Lin could be dropped. She no longer has the speed and accuracy that she had when she helped China win Gold at Rio 2016. Also, the fact that Fujian performed below expectations in this year’s CVL, didn’t help. I think the national selectors are looking at Nee, Meng (Tianjin) and a few others to replace her. However, Meng played badly tonite 😐.

I didn't watch it yet, but seems like it's the usual yao di being yao di

Yao Di is the #2 setter of the NT....when she is good she is brilliant, but the problem is she’s inconsistent. Tonite she performed poorly and if she doesn’t improve, she might lose her number two spot to Diao (Jiangsu) or Mei (Shandong).

It’s the start of the finals at 7.30pm Beijing time....in a few minutes.

Jiangsu’s victory tonite was due in part to the lack of effective blocking by the Shanghai defence. Their real test will come when they meet Tianjin in the finals 😐

Quote from Spyro

Shanghai from 23-20 to 23-25 Jiangsu won 3-1. Lippman couldn't score, she likely ran out of gas

The game basically ended when she became too tired. She, more than anyone else was responsible for putting Shanghai in the semi finals.

There is live streaming of the match between Liaoning and Shandong and later Guangdong vs Shanghai at YouTube.

Couldn’t post the link here....apologies.

There’s live streaming of all the matches at YouTube today...

I noticed something about the Tianjin team, Li Yingying (at 192cm) appears to be the same height or even slightly taller than Wang Yuanyuan (at 195cm). Our eyes can be deceiving and 3cm is nothing, but has anyone else noticed ?

Volley2020 @ Facebook is showing Shanghai vs Jiangsu live !

Quote from Alves

And they're starting from the beginning? I mean 0 wins, 0 points, just 3 matches dach team and 3 best are going to the next statek?

Yes, they will start from a clean slate.

In Stage 3 of the competition, the top 3 teams of groups C and D will combine to form group F where a sort of round robin will be played, whereby you are not required to meet teams you have already played within C & D. Results from within C and D will be carried over to group F.

4th placed teams from C and D will play off for 7th placing overall.

Semi finals & Final stages: After stage 3, positions F1 will play F4 and F2 play F3 in a best of 3 matches in the semi finals.

F5 vs F6 will be the playoff for the 5th and 6th placing overall.

Winners of the semi finals will proceed to the Final, which is best of 3 matches again.

So, there is plenty more volleyball to enjoy !

An outstanding volleyball player and a wonderful person, loved and admired around the world, Zhu Ting celebrates her 26th Birthday today....November 29th.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZHU TING ❤️

Quote from Alves

Do you know how mamy days of break they have?

the eight teams will form 2 groups of four each....groups C & D....they will play a round robin within each group from 4-6 Dec. Source: Weibo.com 😃

Having watched all the teams in action, I really think Tianjin are the team to beat....and it’s not just about Zhu Ting and Li YY. Wang Yizhu is doing well and MB Wang YY has added strength to her blocking and hitting. The team is strong overall.

Shanghai and Guangdong are also strong, thanks to their imports, especially Louisa Lippmann and Kelsey Robinson.

Jiangsu, Liaoning and Shandong have an outside chance if they are consistent, but Beijing and Zhejiang will struggle, I feel 😐

Jiangsu rests their main attacking players, Zhang CN, Gong etc...and got beaten by Fujian 3-0 😐

Quote from zhutingfan

Seems like Dixon (MB, USA) is given the green light to join Beijing. She will be #16.

https://cva-web.dataproject.co…ils.aspx?TeamID=401&ID=47

Now, I don't know how fair this is for the other teams, but I think this is justified.

She joined the second set replacing tall no.6, Zhang Yu ? but were run over by Guangdong again. The problem is Beijing lacks effective wing spikers....

CVL resumes tomorrow, after a day’s rest. Most teams have three remaining matches in Stage 2. Five teams with 19 pts or more are safely through to compete in the top 8 (stage 3) while three teams with 5 pts or less will find themselves competing for the bottom placings of 9th to 13th spots.

Beijing (17 pts) and Liaoning (18 pts) are also likely to join the top 8, leaving the last remaining spot to be decided between Zhejiang (14pts..with 3 tough matches to come), Fujian (9 pts with 3 matches) and Sichuan (9pts with 2 matches).

It has to be said that the teams that have qualified for the top 8 might rest some of their regular players to save the best for the last, so that the weaker teams might have a chance against their reserve sides. 😀

Quote from zhutingfan

2nd set is better for Beijing... but Tianjin isn't playing Li Yingying and 2nd set had Yang Yi

IMO she really needs to improve or switch to libero. Probably the coach is giving her a chance but then she had to be subbed off.

......telecast is continuing with Shanghai vs Guangdong 👍. .... regarding Yang Yi, I believe she is somewhat out of her depth at the highest level, especially in a team like Tianjin. IMO Yu Yun Wei is the better player in the opposite position (接应). Also, there is a chance LYY might move to that position for both club and country in future.
