China advances to Asiad women's volleyball final

China beat Thailand 3-1 (19-25, 25-23, 25-15, 25-19) to advance to the final of the Asian Games women's volleyball tournament on Tuesday.

In the beginning of the first set, the match was nip and tuck. The two sides exchanged one point by one point, but after Thailand went two points ahead, China lost their control and the first victory went to Thailand.

China dominated the game in the second set, once leading as many as 11 points. But Thailand fought hard to catch up with China at 24-23. The set was finished by China in the end. In the third and fourth set, China won a big victory against Thailand.

"Since the second set, we had improved on serve, receiving as well as block, that's why we won the match. We will try to dominate our opponents in the final," said Xu Jiande, head coach of Chinese women's volleyball team.

Later on Tuesday, Japan and South Korea will face in another semifinal.
