The vice-champions Shanghai swept Fujian by a 3-0 (25-16, 25-22, 25-21) in the first round of the 2020/21 Super League regular season for women. American Jordan Larson top-scored the winning side with 19 points, while Wang Weiyi made 81 % reception (69 % perfect).
The bronze medalists Beijing also achieved the win in three sets. They beat Yunnan although they couldn’t count on both imports – Bjelica and Dixon – today. Xue Yizhi led the club from the country’s capital in scoring with 12 points, including 4 blocks. Lei Hailin served 5 aces. Zhang Yu set up 4 blocks, while Wang Lin had 89 % reception (47 % perfect).
Guangdong (American Kelsey Robinson 12 points, Li Yao 4 aces, Song Xinyu 80 % reception /10 % perfect/) downed Hebei in straight sets, leaving rivals at single digits in the third set.
The titleholders Tianjin had a day off due to an odd number of participants in the competition. Recall that the Super League is organized in the form of the ‘NBA bubble’.
