Transition is also very important and we trained more on attacks and transition play. In our final against either China or Korea, we have to perform what we have practiced and do our best in our last match here,\u201d Japan head coach Hiroyuki Yamaguchi commented.<\/p>\n<p>In this match, Miku Akimoto delivered 18 points from 15 kills and 3 blocks for Japan, while Ichiyo Ito and Sae Omori kept good company to add 14 and 13 points respectively. Warisara Seetaloed scored 11 points on the Thailand\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vietnam played one of their near-flawless performances to capture an exceptional straight-set 25-17, 25-19, 25-15 win against Chinese Taipei in the 5th-6th playoff match on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-130425\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-300x212.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-300x212.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-1024x722.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-768x542.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-1536x1083.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-2048x1444.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-580x409.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-860x606.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-1160x818.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-500x353.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-800x564.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-1280x903.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-1920x1354.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-1320x931.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-1-600x423.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Outside hitter Dang Thi Hong delivered a match-high 22 points from 17 kills and 5 aces for Vietnam, while Chang Yi-Chi led Chinese Taipei with 16 points including 15 attacks from 38 attempts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-130426\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-300x201.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-1024x688.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-768x516.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-1536x1031.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-2048x1375.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-580x389.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-860x577.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-1160x779.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-500x336.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-800x537.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-1280x859.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-1920x1289.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-1320x886.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/vietnam-2-600x403.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Vietnam\u2019s fifth-place finish in Jiangmen was not their best performance since their first appearance in 1996 in Thailand.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>In 2016 in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, Vietnam came in fourth place, their best-ever performance in this underage category.
