🇨🇳 CHINA vs GERMANY 🇩🇪 | Highlights | Women's VNL 2024

and then we play. What a character, not the tallest on the court. As you probably know, captain and middle blocker, tallest ever Chinese player. Good side out, right out the gates for Germany, getting that back row attack going with Vesca, moving her around. Germany lead, oh good float, even better slide attack. Just a gorgeous ball, a little give and go from the middle. Returned in the second week of Viennale action and that's an ace, that'll do nicely. Wang Yunyuan, middle blocker. A lot of mental health issues for Xu Ting but she's back and happy and playing and enjoying her volleyball and scoring. Crowd loving every move and forcing havoc on the other side of the net. Italy and here she is, back starring for China. That's coming straight back over, free ball and here goes Xu Ting. Knocked to ground. That's a great dig, brilliant. So Xu Ting will go again down the line, Kern. Xu Ting got way off the net. Make sure... The rotation continues with his rival on serve. Didn't work for Germany and a big chance now. Li Yingying, slightly off the net, got bulleted down the line. Alsmaier, Stieglot, oh yes, catching the setter. Germany in the corner, not a problem. You let them start running around the court, you're in trouble. That looks good enough and the slide attack works to a tee or does it? Oh, that's in. Perfect, what a serve. Because she stands at 202 and that height of that hand is so high that it's almost going... Almost doing it again. Lisa Elmar just gets hold of that. Zhao Linyu and here comes Li Yingying. It's coming straight back over, Germany in trouble and still it won't go down. Fantastic defense but it's going to come again. The block was there but moving. A forehand on it to go for the big hit. Xu Ting flying in every sense. Rotation with Camilla Weitzel, trying to put pressure on Xu Ting. If only. There's pass, set, swing, point. Set point, six of them. Was there a touch? There was because that's what the scoreboard says 24-19. No question about that then. The biggest touch came from... Li Yingying launches that and despite the best efforts of Lisa Elmar, that was never really coming back. Let's put the pressure back on China. Three points ahead. Li Yingying going to that back corner. Beautiful shot on the left. You swing with three blockers up in front of her. Just picked up as if it's the most natural thing in the world. And guess who's there? It's Wang Wenjie. Good defense on both sides of the net. Then Elmar comes flying in. Claims there's a touch. And there's a way Germany transitioning out of some of these plays. And being a lefty just opened up the body a little bit more. Clever. There was a hand which took it out of her way she would say. So you're not blaming her far from it. She's played magnificently. Kinderman goes big but you can guess who's there? Wang Wenjie. Oh what a good block. Gong gave that everything. But Scherzl just stood there and said okay give me your best shot. Now there's a collector's item. Not the ice from Li Yingying but Wang Wenjie. Teammates. And they need her too. They need all of them to step up. Nothing wrong with the right wrist there. Good serve. Good pick up. She's done it again there. Yin Xingyue gets. She's the tallest on the court and yet she still gets down so fast. And then that sets up a winning point. Kinderman goes power. China goes block. It's flying through. Good anticipation there by Gong. And then Li Yingying perfectly placed. Take her out of the equation. Moving it fast. Oh what an up high Strauba. Two players arriving. Not that Xu Ting's bothered because she could see as she launched herself on the pipe. Where's this going to go? That's a great serve. My word. Wang Wenjie was diving to keep that in play. And then off the hands. An assistant. Wang Wenjie take that one. Oh at last. Weitzel gets one to put away. And the top server in the VNL. Landon Ace. Skims the net. Crowd like that. Weitzel. Not there at least. Elsma needed to do it. Spread into the net. And that's 25-17. That's mixed up. They're on a system now. Oh yes. Kamila Weitzel. Loved it. Good anticipation. The defense. Leska launches herself. Almost picked up. Just gotta say that. She's so tall. No one else could take out the block like she can. It's just dropped out. But the block was in the right place at least. Play over to the line and get it too. It's just perfectly placed. Giant Chinese block. Groeser tries to get it down the line and nails it. Didn't care what the referee said. She knew that straight away. Arms are lost. Second season there. One of the top German clubs as you'll know. It's a big hit. Oh she almost kept it on Elsma. They gotta play China even here. 18-8 in terms of errors. 10 more from Germany. Not on that occasion. Veska nails it on that service line. Kamila Weitzel hoping that was going to make it all the way over. It didn't. So that's one video challenge less for Alex Weibel. Nice change of direction. But the block it was ready. Long way off the net Veska. Did she catch that exactly right or was that just a little bit too early? But it still worked perfectly. Oh wow. Crowd loving the serves from Groeser. But they'll love that even more as Yuan Xinyue. 12 points in the match. Just one short of top scorer Xu Ding. And not even the top scorer can keep that ball in play. Of a set. Just two points in it. That's a big blast. But Kern Elsma measures her leap. And that's a point for at last. One off the hands. Taking them out. Big hole. Big space. Big point because that's seven max points for China. Take that and that's it. It's all over. China have swept Germany in three. 25-18, 25-17, 25-18. Thanks for watching.
