This pass was perfect something that China released Shuffle will play at Fenerbahce in Turkey a next pro season with Matt Anderson He's there for the dig. Look really steps into set over to Darlan against the triple block China keeps it alive, but it's gonna be a free ball now Back row scores for Brazil Brazil is just overpowering China through the middle of the court We've seen it what the front court middles have done But this back row attack on the Vic has been so certain pathways away Let's see what goes aggressive. I like it. Good ball in though Adriano is stopped at the net. I'll shoot Quinn scores the block point Finally China's able to stop the middle of the court against Brazil really patient on that block Bean scoring out of the backcourt Brazil's block is just all over the place today. There was nobody up on that They're getting caught a little bit undisciplined. So after that counter-attack Look, it only continues to serve Spins this one down the line better ball in One on one from the right side to score We're tied now at 13th here in set two Good pass from Adriano and Riccardo. Look at Adley scores from the left side So back to it China up by 216 serving 14 Nice pass Adriano and then Pinta gets it back. He's dug How about a quick counter-attack Mikey tracks it down. It'll be a free ball for China now through the middle blocks covered Now a free ball for Brazil. Can they get it done? Both puncture Quinn the middle for China in the backcourt It's a really nice up and then for Brazil awesome play by Adriano to keep that ball alive Even later stages of set two now Ball in Leon ----. Hello the explosiveness on the middle here. Leon Chen comes flying through look at where this ball lands Bean those aggressive at Mikey what a pass and it could show up on to Chen to serve It's the float our line cross-court with the winner Good serve from Adriano high ball set to the left side Lee Lane who's come back on Gets covered when Z wa that ball drops Goes with the jump serve right on Mikey Flavio looking to finish it, but it comes back over Now, it's Luca Daly and he gets it done from the left side Brazil Takes it 25 20 and they're up two sets to zero China had a lead late in that set but Brazil was able to just push when it mattered That was really the difference just a few errors on China's side and Brazil's defense really coming alive front and back row Feeding into their offense Here's that last play takes a village we get back underway set number three You've been sends it across and Adriana sends it off the block and out for the point massive serve from Adriano that time Nice dig from the left side Ricardo gets it right back. He's blocked, but Mikey with the cover Go through the middle Darlon gets the block, but it's recycled Again blocked by Flavio another chance now Trying to turn everything they can to put the ball down on Brazil's side, but their defense is making it so difficult another short serve from Flavio Darlan swats it back Brazil Setting it over China will play on The attack that time So an unsuccessful challenge With Riccardo Lucanelli to serve spins it across that balls in well out of the back row won't be in his dug Adriano on the counter-attack to score Nine six for Brazil here in set three Make it ten six after the service ace and thrown around his big middle just can't get out of the way Speaking of big middles puncture Quinn is done now Darlan. Oh what a swing there out of the back row Really good ball by Darlan It's a strong swing China down by three Good ball from Adriano and then Flavio scoring on the gap set teens the young champ Good ball in from Lucarelli Adriano from the back row Brazil gets the side out. That was a really good answer out of the timeout for Brazil Tidying it again It's sir. This time Darlan passes Adriano from the backcourt That scores I wouldn't doubt for Brazil. They've got to run through the middle whether it's in the front or back Good pass from Adriano Denting the floor When that ball came down so fast you can barely see it perfect So Brazil reaches 20 to shop at the inline Side set down the line and it's out of bounds It's called out of bounds The young shed no long you've been excuse me his serve Flavio and that ball is Called in Adriano. It was aggressive This is set through the middle block covered another set through the middle The young shed scores for China Flavio sends it across Overhead set dug up by push up up tight set to Lucarelli gets to cover now Darlan Dug up in area one chance for China high ball set to the outside roll shot. We could Ellie is there Darlan will swing And it's a net violation against China, and that's how the match ends Brazil fights off The pressure from the Chinese team gets a gift You
