🇨🇳 CHN vs. 🇺🇸 USA - Highlights Week 3 | Women's VNL 2023

Polly Milano team, little blocker, nice line serve, quick middle, in comes. Chun-Yu with the serve, goes down the line, oh that's incredible. Fast, fast play from Yuan Xinyuai. Has that connection with her middle, so solid on the gap set. Great serve that is. Three meter line. Some options in the middle but it goes out wide to Robinson Cook. And this time Li Yingying with the left hand, nice angle. Check out how sharp this ball is, she's hitting it inside the court, brought in just a little. Just short on Plummer. Truce to the rescuer on the outside, comes Robinson Cook. Switch of play. It's almost like China, we're just tiring them out, left and right, left and right. And then they move back out of position, saw the hole. Li Yingying noticing that there's a giant hole in the middle of the court for Team USA. Those off blockers pretty... Short serve from Robinson Cook. Oh, that combination almost confused the Chinese team as well. Who's gonna get it? All USA's blockers moving side to side so well. Dana Rettke working hard. Good hang time from Anna Drews, read it well. Overpass, Plummer puts that away. A little bit in control of the whole way, now they're serving for the first set. Defense looking very fine tuned, led by Lauren Carlini. And then we're seeing the blocking, came alive at the end of that set for sure. Looked like a wall was formed up over the last few points from Dana Rettke, doing a great job. Using those long legs, moving side to side, finishing up that set. Drews, one challenge used. They still have another chance available for them. Still alive, still alive. All skills, all football skills, American football skills for USA. Washington off the tape, oh, now China. Losing whatever parts of their body to keep the ball alive. Doesn't matter, hand, foot, face, shoulder. Washington with the serve, 14-16. Head, goes right back to it inside those blockers. Carlini has to set up that just a little bit more inside. Good pressure on the serve. And then at that last second, drops that elbow, tips it right. Plummer brings that hammer up front, can't take her out. Defense from Carlini. Points across towards China. Such a great shot right on the sideline to the left of Plummer. Go to Plummer again, this one is tight on the net. Carlini makes it, Rettke with the kill. Good serve from Plummer. Left hand. Watches out wide, let's wait for the ball to come over her shoulder. Li Yingying with the serve. That's a better ball, over on to Carlini. USA leading by seven now. That's a better ball in, good options for China. But the block from Rettke is good. In on the second set, held the position. Carlini with the throw, oh, I love that one deep down the corner. It's been 14-2 required for USA. That's better. It's not very often she ever hits straight, is it? She is very clever normally about left and right, but is it too tight? Back to one, turning that thumb down. This time, yeah, it looked not as high as she would have wanted it. So she had to snap down a little bit quicker, didn't have... Lan Chunyuai still had to get the hands there. Plummer, serving 25-19 USA. Lead by two, gains to one. Carlini with the serve. Quick play. 53 kilometres out of that one. 23-year-old Li Yingying. Ball in, options. Feed the plumber in and she will score, as that would have been the chant, wouldn't it? That's what I'm saying. Oh, Li Yingying. It'll be tight for Remskoet to use. She had to utilise the block. Plummer from the back line. Oh, what a swing. To take it to the five. It is Li Yingying. Emily Eamon and Meemar Perkins bringing the coverage here in Korea. Straight to Plummer. Nice ball in, Washington. High reach. That one's short. That's audacious from Carlini. It's so flat. Raw power. There's a slide down the line. China just required two points. This game was tied at five apiece. It's tight. One-handed set. Beautiful control from Carlini. A huge work here. Down the centre. China win. 15-8, 3-2 on the final game of the pool stage of the Voidwall Nations League here on Prodigal World TV. And they are jubilant.
