Henan’s volleyball squad extended their winning streak to four matches in Macao this week, even as superstar Zhu Ting watched from the sidelines during their clash with the Macao SAR team. The three-set sweep on November 12 showcased the team’s depth, proving they’re more than a one-star show 🌟.
Zhu, who recently returned from Italy to compete in China’s 15th National Games, skipped the match to recover after leading Henan to two earlier wins. Fans at the Macao arena still chanted her name, with CGTN’s Shen Xiang reporting that the Olympic gold medalist remains the "heartbeat of Chinese volleyball" 💖.
With a 3-0 record in this year’s National Games, Henan is emerging as a title contender. Analysts say Zhu’s strategic rest could be the squad’s secret weapon as they prepare for tougher matches ahead 🏆.
