(25-23, 25-23, and 25-15).
The final round of the Chinese Volleyball Association League was hosted by city of Shanghai, which also served as a competitive edge for home team. The hosts opened the match on strong footing and produced accurate serves. On the other side of the net, the
Jiangsu squad was uniquely positioned to cope with the difficult serves of the Shanghai boys.
They responded in the same tone and returned the ball back in the opponents’ half. The exchange of heavy shots started, while both teams tried to score quick points. The score shifted up with a close gap of points and both sides regularly traded lead. As
the first set game was in progress, there was no telling about winning side.
However, the situation became clear when Shanghai boys added consecutive points and sealed first set victory at 25-23.
The loss of opening set totally raged up the Jiangsu team. They formed new combinations in the next set and attacked from different angles. They threw everything in attack to cover the loss of previous set.
Nonetheless, the charged up Shanghai Team did not allow them to come up. Despite of great efforts, Jiangsu had to face the loss of another set. The second set ended with the same score of 25-23.
The Jiangsu Team was mentally defeated. They were disgusted with their performance and looked visible exhausted in third set. As a result, they made silly mistakes in third set, which further affected their performance. The Shanghai boys took full control
of the operations and pulled off success by capturing third set (25-15).

The Shanghai team had great energy and very good form after winning the first match of “best of three” round. They had a firm ambition of victory and proved their endeavours by winning the second match. They posted 3-0 (25-21, 25-13, 25-17) victory over
Jiangsu side and carved their names in the winners’ corner.
The second match was comparatively easy for Shanghai boys. Shen Qiong, the captain of the Shanghai Team came up with a great strategy in second match. They started out with confident shots and maintained an upper hand on the rival side. The Jaingsu Team
came from back row attack and managed to steal some points from the resilient rivals. Anyhow, Shanghai boys grasped their game plan and formulised the remedy for that. The Jiangsu squad suffered the damage and dropped the first set with a margin of 4 points.
In the following set, Jiangsu was totally under the command of Shanghai boys. The hosts showed no mercy and hit unstoppable spikes. The better attack and defence tactics helped Shanghai boys to win second set with a score of 25-13. Third set of the game
