Tran Thi Bich Thuy 'carries the team', Duc Giang Chemical Lao Cai wins spectacularly

The match witnessed an explosive performance by Bich Thuy – the opposite hitter who recently returned from Japan. Despite showing signs of fatigue due to sudden weather changes and adapting to Vietnam's heat, the 2000-born opposite hitter nearly "carried the team" by scoring over 20 points, demonstrating rare versatility.

Not only effective in powerful attacking moves at the net, Tran Thi Bich Thuy also completely dominated the blocking area with a series of precise blocks, repeatedly breaking Ninh Bình's offensive attempts. Additionally, her troublesome serves contributed significantly to pressuring the opponent's back row. In this match, Bich Thuy scored the highest with a total of 24 points (66.7%, including 9 blocks and 3 aces).

Bich Thuy's excellence left the former capital's team almost helpless. Despite being the reigning runner-up and having an impressive streak, LPBank Ninh Bình could not find a solution against the opponent's dynamic and versatile gameplay.

Alongside Bich Thuy, Ly Thi Luyen – who recently won the Thai League with Club Nakhon Ratchasima – also left a strong impression with 13 points (3 blocks). This 1.95m tall opposite hitter not only maintained stability throughout the match but also shone at crucial moments, especially in the tense third set, helping the team conclude the match perfectly.

Under Nguyen Huu Ha's guidance, Duc Giang Chemical Lao Cai displayed a completely different performance compared to previous matches. From solid defense to sharp counterattacks, everything created a dominant position against a strong opponent.

This victory not only gave the chemical industry team its second win in the tournament but also sent a strong message about their competitive ambition, especially as they possess high-performing stars like Bich Thuy and Ly Thi Luyen.
