Photo by Xinhua Agency reporter Xu Yu Xinhuanet Ningbo Beilun, August 2 (Reporters Wang Jingyu and Fang Lie) China women's volleyball team pulled two games in a row on the evening of the 2nd, defeating the Russian team 3:2 and winning the 2009 World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix Ningbo Beilun Station championship. Wang Yimei was the number one contributor to the China team's victory. This heavy gunner scored a game-high 30 points in five games and led the China team to win 23:25, 25:23, 20:25, 25:14 and 15:9. Xue Ming also contributed 20 points to the China team. This game was like a confrontation between China and Russia with two heavy artillery rounds. Russian team's Kosheleva scored 27 points for the Russian team. Gamova, the famous player who was heavily protected in the first two games, finally started and scored 17 points for the Russian team due to injury. However, in the second half of the fourth game and the fifth game, the main attacker, who had more firepower than Wang Yimei, could not jump at all. Weak physical strength was an important reason for the defeat of the Russian team, which had just played five games against the Dominican team the day before. The decisive change of China leader Cai Bin in the fourth game also changed the situation on the court. Hui Ruoqi, the young main striker who replaced Li Juan, scored 6 points. Her passion at the critical moment led the team. The starting lineup of China's women's volleyball team is the same as it was the day before against South Korea, while Gamova's starting point made the Russian team's performance more stable than the previous two games. In the first game, relying on Wang Yimei's strong attack, the China team led by 12:10 and 17:13. Since then, the Russian team gradually found a way to defend the China team, narrowing the gap bit by bit, and chasing it all the way to 22. Subsequently, a service error from the other side gave the China team a 23:22 lead. However, Fadeeva's blocking of Li Juan and Kosereova's two consecutive strong attacks in the counterattack helped the Russian team take the lead. In the second game, China team strengthened blocking, and Wang Yimei's strong attack remained sharp. With a 21:17 lead, China team was chased by the other team to 23:24; at the critical moment, Wang Yimei's spike brought the China team back to the same city. The two sides played evenly in the first half of the third game. After drawing at 19, heavy dunks by Gamova and Koshereova forced the China team to call a timeout. After the timeout, Chu Jinling made a mistake in the spike, and Xu Yunli and Wang Yimei's attacks were blocked continuously. The Russian team scored 5 points in a row to get the game point. Although Chu Jinling blocked the first game point with a heavy dunk, the Russian team still went out of bounds through Gamova's spiking beater and exceeded the score 2:1. At the beginning of the fourth game, Cai Bin adjusted the lineup, with Hui Ruoqi and Yin Na partnering to play the main attack. This new lineup helped the China team get off to a good start of 5:2. Subsequently, the China team took advantage of the opponent's two-point attack in the front row to expand the lead to 13:6, and pursued the victory to drag the game into the decider. In the final decisive game, the Russian team was obviously out of strength and quickly lost. In the end, the Russian team lost to the China team again after the quarterfinals of the Beijing Olympics and won the runner-up in this competition. In the game on the afternoon of the 2nd, the Dominican team defeated South Korea 3:2 and won third place in this game. South Korea ranked fourth.
