China replaced their dominant force Zhu Ting with left-hander Li Yingying, hoping to make amends for the disappointing performance. Still, the momentum was with Giovanni Guidetti\u2019s girls and they continued to put the Asian powerhouses under enormous pressure in the set. Despite putting up a brave fight, Lang Ping\u2019s side slumped to 14-25 loss in the second set.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-63917\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6-4-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Holding a 0-2 disadvantage, China fought hard in the third set with some fierce defence and spectacular attacks.
