In the general statistics, the Dominicans slightly dominated the attack with a 50-49<\/strong> advantage, while China prevailed in blocks 6-3<\/strong>. The Asians’ defense, both at the net and on the floor, was decisive in tilting the match in their favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the tie, China regained control in the third and fourth sets and managed to close out the match to advance to the next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chen X.Y led the Chinese attack with 15 points, followed by Chen R.H, with 13, and Zhao Y.H, with 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
