To improve their dismal start, Thailand coach Monchai Supajirakul shuffled his line-up, sending in experienced players left-hander Amorntep Konhan, tall and towering hitter Kantapat Koonme and highly-skilled setter Mawin Maneewong. From then, it seemed Thailand shrugged off their rust as they chased from trailing 2-6 to catch the spirited visitors at 13-13 before advancing 16-15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85048\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-580x388.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-860x576.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-1160x776.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-500x335.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-800x535.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3-1280x857.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-3.jpg 1878w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85040\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-580x386.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">After that, it remained the Hong Kong China\u2019s way as the team gained some more points, with Poon Chi Leung carrying out a fast attack to put his team in front 19-17. Strongly-built Napadet Bhinijdee got Thailand back on track with his sharp attacks at the net, but it was very tight until 20-20. The host side went ahead 22-21 and stormed on to widen the gap to 24-22, with captain Amorntep bagging two crucial points in a row including an off-the-block attack. A spike from Leung Ho Yin which went wide satisfied the cheering home crowds with the hard-fought 25-22 win in the set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85044\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-580x386.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7-5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85042\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-860x574.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-1160x774.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The second set was more thrilling when both sides gave their best and traded attack points. At 11-11, Thailand continued an amazing run with five consecutive points, thanks to Amorntep\u2019s powerful jump serves, Kantapat\u2019s attacks and Mawin\u2019s solid blocks. Hong Kong China found their touch, using their triple blocks for fierce attacks from Kantapat and Amorntep and at the same time struck back to level at 23-all. A fierce battle unfolded with the lead going back and forth at home stretch. Kantapat fired a set point for Thailand and Prasert Pinkaew hammered an overpass for the team\u2019s closely-contested 30-28 win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85041\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-580x386.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85045\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-580x386.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8-4.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">With Leung Ho Yin and Tam Chun Ho Damian taking turns attacking powerfully at the net, Hong Kong, China gained an upper hand initially to lead 6-4 lead in the third set and stretch it to 13-10. Thailand clawed their way back to meet the close rivals 16-16 and again 20-20. As Hong Kong, China were error-strewn with attacking mistakes, Thailand grew in confidence. The host team advanced 23-21 and Tam Chun Ho Damian delivered the set point to Thailand with his spike mistake. However, he made amends later, attacking effectively to save two match points before a serve from Siu Cheong Hung went to the net for the Thailand\u2019s set win 25-23 and match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85047\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-860x574.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-1160x774.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/10-3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Amorntep Konhan chipped in with 16 points including 15 attacks for Thailand, while Tam Chun Ho Damian led all scorers with 17 points on Hong Kong China\u2019s losing effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-85043\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-580x386.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/6-5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe had a little time in training together as a team.
