Shanghai
In Game 2 of the 2019/20 Super League playoff finals held at the Training Base in Qinhuangdao (venue for all matches after the reopening of the competition), Shanghai defeated Jiangsu by a 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-17) to successfully defend the title, sweeping the series.
Shanghai thus won the championship for the 16th time in the history of the club, the sixth in a row. By that, Shanghai further increased the advantage on the list of the title winners in China. Sichuan are their closest followers with but with only 3 trophies at their account. Interestingly, the Shanghai head coach Shen Qiong commanded the team to claim all these consecutive championships that coincided with his arrival at the helm of the club (2014). As a player, he captained to nine Shanghai’s titles in a row, from 2004-2012.
Speaking of the match itself, Jiangsu’s low chances became even lower when they learned prior to the match that their starting outside hitter, the veteran Zhang Chen, was unable to perform due to a knee injury which he suffered in Game 1. So, the Jiangsu head coach Lu Weizhong was forced to put young Zhou Liying into the fire. Wu Pengzhi top-scored for Shanghai today with 13 points, which was as much as Liu Xiangdong made for the losing side.
