Apart from Shanghai, the name of one more team that progressed to the playoff semifinals of the 2019/20 Chinese men’s volleyball Championship is known – Jiangsu.

Jiangsu seized the opportunity to advance to the playoff semifinals of the 2019/20 Super League.

In the last round of the quarterfinal stage, they beat the defending champions and also the only team that secured a place in the playoff semifinals of the 2019/20 Super League prior to today, Shanghai: 3-0 (25-18, 25-23, 28-26). Furthermore, Jiangsu took over the top spot from Shanghai in Pool E. Both have a 3-2 record and 9 points but Jiangsu have a better set-ratio.

After yesterday’s adjustments in the lineup that cost his team a painless defeat, the Shanghai head coach Shen Qiong put back all major players into the court. Unfortunately, his starting opposite hitter Wu Pengzhi suffered an injury in the second set and didn’t return to the game. The outside hitter Yu Yuantai was Jiangsu’s leading scorer today with 19 points. This outcome eliminated Sichuan, who defeated Henan by a 3-1, from participating in the semifinals.

A decision on the two semifinal spots from Pool F will be made tomorrow with three teams having chances to progress, some bigger than others.
