Post-Match Commentary :
This was the 2nd phase last day game. China unable to enter top 4 and this match became meaningless. They will play for 5-8th place. But China lost to Germany and USA won Germany 3:2 earlier. So, China still not 100% able to enter the 5-8th place. China #7 Zhou Suhong (27yo, 1.82m) missed out in World Grand Prix as she was injured. But she was fully recovered and back in this tournament. After two years of preparation, #1 Wang Yimei (18yo, 1.9m) was the starting player with #3 Yang Hao (26yo, 1.83m). #2 Feng Kun (28yo, 1.83m) & #4 Liu Yanan (26yo, 1.86m) led the team. #17 Xu Yunli (19yo, 1.96m) was the starting player. #7 played good in phase 1 but her scoring ability kept dropping since phase 2. It made all the scoring responsibility went to #1 & #3. #4 high time had been gone since 2006. Dutch girls #4 Chaïne Staelens (26yo, 1.94m) scored 28 points while #12 Manon Flier (22yo, 1.92m) got 20 points. China blocking and serve were better than Holland but the key was the defence of Dutch girls in latter sets became better and better. Chinese players got old and that caused a huge revamp of the team in 2007.
