[quote][i]Originally posted by VBFC[/i] 節錄自 世界女排大冠軍杯賽 [u]Quote from World Grand Champions Cup[/u] [b]Americans rock China with straight-sets win[/b] USA pulled off a major surprise by crushing holders China 3-0 in the first match on the second day of the World Grand Champions Cup at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium on Wednesday. Led by Chinese head coach Jenny Lang Ping, the Americans won 25-22, 25-23, 26-24, sealing a famous victory on their third match point. USA carried on from where they left off against Korea the previous day, and won the first set 25-22. With Nancy Metcalf dangerous on the flank, and Tayyiba Haneef so quick to mop up anything at the net, the Americans kept China on the defensive. China's battery of big hitters were having problems piercing the mighty USA block, and it needed some subtle ball placement for China to keep in touch. The excellent Zhou Suhong lifted China's spirits with some confident winners, and the team began to click midway through the second set. But they had no answer to the dynamic Metcalf, who found the gaps at regular intervals with her sharply-angled, left-handed spikes, and Haneef, who scored some big points in the closing stages of the second set. USA won it 25-23 on their third set point when Zhang Ping served wide, but it was a close call. In the third set, China improved their block, and, behind some thunderous serves from Chu Jinling, reached the first TTO ahead by five at 8-3. But the Americans, making fewer mistakes, especially on serve, closed the gap. On the third match point for the USA, China's Li Juan spiked wide to give America the third set 26-24. [/quote]
