Game 4 China - Russia 0-1 C serves out 1-1 Gamova serves out 1-2 2-2 good rally on both sides. China looks tired. Their OH's couldn't terminate 3-2 3-3 Sokolova dinks 3-4 Gamova over the triple block easily 4-4 C to quick middle 4-5 Sokolova through the middle from backrow 5-5 Gamova serves into the net 5-6 Gamova from backrow 5-7 Bad pass, bad set by C went over to R. Terminate 6-7 C from backrow. 6-8 1st Technical TO.
Russia with a new coach is running many more quick plays. In the pass, all balls were sent to outside. No variation. They seems to be unbeatable.
6-9 C aced 6-10 C blocked. Russia is starting to run away. C timeout 6-11 bad pass, bump set, C hits out 6-12 another bad pass by C have to send it over. Back quick and terminate by R. C TO. 5 points in a row for R 7-12 another bad pass but luckily, OH through the R block 8-12 R aced 8-13 9-13 9-14 R tips through C's block 9-15 R blocks. Russia with 16 blocks compared to 7 from C 9-16 C dinks and down but was called into the net. 2nd technical TO. It looks like it will be over soon. 9-17 Another block by R 10-17 FK runs a quick back. Point C 11-17 C tools R's block. 11-18 Good rally. Gamova straight down 11-19 Gamova blocks slide 12-19 R serves into the net 12-20 Gamova down the line. She has been stella! 12-21 Gamova aces 12-22 C quick middle but blocked. 12-23 It's Gamova's show. Pipe through triple block 12-24 Gamova aces line 12-25 Gamova another ace!
Match to Russia 3-1: 20-25, 25-23, 25-17, 25-12. The key game was the 2nd game. China seems to lose the momentum and focus. They looked tired while Russia just got stronger and stronger. Great defense by Russia. They must have finish with almost 20 blocks with China managed only 7.
The big 3 from Russia look very impressive: Gamova, Godina, and Sokolova. They are unstoppable.
