PHILIPPINES vs CHINESE TAIPEI | Highlights | AVC Challenge Cup 2024

...hitters, our other wingers, with a single block, most of the time. Good pick up there. Receiving, and putting on a kill, Su Heng Yun. Su Heng Yun, getting a point. Targeting that corner pocket, Ronnie Gantler, unable to move. And, uh, just looked at that ball, and see the... right on the line. Gantler receiving, Jia setting up there, Gagate. Good pick up there, by Jiang Chengyi, sent over to Team Philippines. Faith is waiting on the right side. Lowry with a left-handed tip, not good enough. Here, but with a dive. Faith ready. This is the kind of connection that we've been echoing. I mean, the rest of the players, they aren't stopping. They continue on with their rally, and helping Faith Desperos get her fourth point of this game. She scored two yesterday, the last two points of that game against Tehran. And right now, doubling that output already, but this time, as a starter. Gagate gets a scoring for this rally. Reverse set. A pick up by Jia. The setup by Gantler. From the back row. Denied by Cherry Nunag. Gagate. Tough angle. Faith Desperos able to get it. Gantler from behind. And that will go out of bounds. Gantler firing a bazooka from behind the line. The delight of the Philippine fans. Four points for Danny, four points for Faith. More importantly, an 11-point lead by Alas Pilipinas at 23-12. Alas Pilipinas really showing off the attack efficiency of the team. Whoever Jia goes to, they really convert with high efficiency. Reverse. That's a nice spot. A loose block by Nunag and Laurens. Sufang Min. A cross-court hit, yes, by Sufang Min. Really living up to the hype earlier. We did build her up as the most consistent scorer, at least in their previous matches. But she continues to do damage here for Chinese Taipei. Massive swing to give us 11 set points. Cherry Nunag consistently selling her middle attacks. But you also got to commend the defense, whether it's from reception or digs. Philippines greatly improved on that aspect as well. Another out-of-system play. This one will bounce out, and that will do it for set number one. Alas Pilipinas easily winning this one, 25-13 without our usual... Doug Bayon. Su with the attack. Ea. Cross-court kill! Ea Laure having two blockers, but it seems like she did not have any. Just look at that. High contact, very quick wrist action. Just enough to avoid the double block of Chinese Taipei. Look at that. Annie Gander again, one of her rivals also too in college. With the appreciation tap. In the meantime. Katindig saw the one-two play. Good exchange here. And it is Chinese Taipei scoring their 17 points. Liu Yuji getting the better of Annie Gander on that joust. But you also have to commend the defense of Chinese Taipei. Expecting that quick attack from Cherry Nunag and working well for that point. Bao Yunqi for this rally. Never with a pass. Again, there was only one blocker who came to jump for Cherry Nunag. But look at the delay. Too late. And it really breaks the defense pattern on the net and on the floor. You look at Lin Kaizhen reaching with her right hand. Maybe out of position already because of that girl on your screens. Snatching a lot of blockers. Off the rebound. Gander will try again. Pulls! Eight points on six attacks for Vanny. Full swing. High contact for Vanny Gander. Eight points already. Six attacks, two blocks. But I'm sure she won't stop there. Yeah, nine points last night. Eight points tonight. So far. No check. No touch. Volleyball Nations League men's tournament. We're going to have a swing here in June here in Manila, Philippines. Back to the action here. Great swing, speaking of, by Su Fangyun. Great strategy from the playmaker, Zhang Chengyi. She moved the set a bit shorter to Thea Gagate. So Su Fangyun would have better angle for that combination play. They went back to their starting setter, Zhang Chengyi. Chance ball for Chinese Taipei, down four. Yi sends it over. Let's check who, oh, it was a number six wing, Zhu Yun. Look at this swing. Great setup. From the 18-year-old Zhang Chengyi. Zhang Chengyi coming up with her own version of a great connection with the middle. Activating wing, Zhu Yun. Thea with a sell. And Gander with a pull. Fanny Gander. Nine points already. Matching her output against Iran. But look at the way she scored this one. Really bouncing that ball. And not even the floor defender could play that empathic kill by Fanny Gander. Sharp serve by Chia. Good block there by Thea. Reverse. Thea Gagate, we know that she has a very good timing. All the aspects that you want from a middle blocker, she has it all. The thing is, she's very tireless when she's in the front line. Five set points for our Las Filipinas. Chinese Taipei saves one, courtesy of Zhu Fengmin and the block breaker. Seven points for the opposite hitter. Zhu Fengmin still living up to the hype, being the most consistent scorer for Chinese Taipei. And their team saves two match points so far. A couple of errors from the side of our Las Filipinas. Down to three set points for Philippines. Good serving here by Zhu Fengmin. Gagate, saved by Fengmin. Gagate will take this one. Chia, back to Thea. Great effort there by Lin Yusui. Oh, but it is Zhu Fengmin who sends it out and long, which gives Team Philippines two sets to love lead. And Chia Nicosman making sure the girls are focused. It's Lin Liangcai. Getting the scoring, and a 19-year-old sends it out. 23-14. Lowry, that's going to drop out. More contact on that serve, just a bit low or underneath the ball. Chang Cheh-Chi coming in for Su Heng-Yun. That's one of their tallest players in their lineup. And also one of the younger ones at 17 years old. Lin Kaizhen gets the scoring for this rally. Gambler! And gets Team Philippines to match point. Nine match points. Gambler, today, with 12 points to follow up her nine from the last match. Contact accredited. Both Coronel and Palumata getting majority of the blockers onto their side. One match point saved. Wong Tzu-Yun. Won the minutes off the bench in this game. 17, their secondary setter, Su Heng-Yun. Trying to save another match point here. Stands at 8. Coronel leaves it for Gambler. Ji sends it behind. And a point there. A drop ball from Su Heng-Yun. The setter of Chinese Taipei continuing to serve. It's been a constant shuffle between Su Yu-Ji and Zhang Chen-Yi. Gambler targeted. Nieva will set it to Gambler. Topped off by Su Yu-Ji. Chance here. Coronel goes back to Gambler. Good coverage. Counterattack right at a donut hole. Sent over with a rolling ball from Lin Bia-Tai. Chinese Taipei just playing smart this time. They have gotten a couple of points that hurting that donut hole. Zone 6. And so they continue to target that to get, hopefully, stack of points and cut the lead. But Philippines just need one more point. Gambler continues to receive. Plowder from behind. And Philippines will sweep the preliminaries. 25-18. And another straight sets victory for them.
