China's national volleyball team delivered a thrilling 3-1 victory against long-standing rivals Japan during Saturday's FIVB Women's Nations League match in the Hong Kong SAR, extending their winning streak to three matches in the tournament's latest leg.
The match began with China dominating the first set through Wu Mengjie's explosive spikes, securing a 25-15 win. Building on this momentum, the team claimed the second set 25-12 with consistent blocks and serves.
Japan rallied in the third set with an 8-3 lead, eventually taking it 25-18. The fourth set saw intense back-and-forth action before China clinched a dramatic 25-22 finish, sealed by three consecutive points at 21-21.
This victory follows earlier wins against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. The team now prepares for Sunday's decisive match against Italy, which could strengthen China's position in the global volleyball rankings.
