However, boosted by a large crowd of more than 2,500 home spectators, China lived up to all expectations, with devastating Jiang Chuan entertaining the crowds with some thundering back row attacks and Dai Qingyao blunting the Qataris blocking efforts with his exceptional cross-court spikes. Taking a narrow 22-20 lead on the home stretch, China, thanks to the 207cm Zhang Zhejia\u2019s efficient blocks, never looked back after that to capture the set 25-20, match and a final berth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50621\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/11-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/11-5.jpg 960w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/11-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/11-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/11-5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jiang Chuna chipped in with 23 attack points for China, while Dai Qingyao, Zhang Zhejia and Liu Libin kept good company to contribute 13, 12 and 11 points respectively.

I\u2019d like to express my gratitude to Qatar for delivering such a fantastic performance with us to all fans.
