While the last team of clubs for the Philippines in the AVC female Champions League, Petro Gazz has certainly shown it – even against – how to defend the lawn at home.
The angels certainly took the door swinging Friday evening, pushing Chinese champion Baic Motor at the proverbial limit before descending, 31-29, 19-25, 20-20, 25-20, 15-12, in Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
“Not being so tall, I supposed a little (we confront) the Great Wall of China today,” said Petro Gazz star, Brooke Van Sickle “I said to myself:” Okay, I will do my best to hit and stay aggressive. “”
Petro Gazz followed Creamline and Pldt outings but played the most impressive. Cool smashers and high -speed strikers failed to win a set against their enemies in the quarter -finals.
The game could have gone in both directions, because the angels were clear all night. They also did not show a shade of fear against their higher enemies.
“It was a lot of grain, and I felt that of everyone,” added Van Sickle, pouring 17 points of 12 attacks and two blocks with the exception of a top of 22 excellent excavations.
Beijing Baic Motor sealed a semi-final match with VTV Binh Dien Long An, who started Kaohsiung Taiper, 25-20, 17-25, 25-22, 28-26, in the previous match.
The Chinese were fed by the 37 big points of Ye Jin, with Yufei lu helping with 19 points, Lanfeng Shan 12 and Hongyi Shen 11 points.
Jin was completely dealing, but showed his team after the match by posing photos with Petro Gazz players.
Petro Gazz simply did not decide and actually looked like a threat to Asian power, because the angels tried to correspond and pierced in a way the defense of the Chinese net.
Run on smoke
The two teams already visibly tired, China has set up on its size in size to take place in the decisive framework. Jin nailed a killing to give the Chinese an advantage of 11-6.
GIA import day dispersed 35 points, with Jonah Sabte Cripping in 15 and MJ Phillips 11.
The right thing about playing in such a tense match was that Petro Gazz coaches have already seen the goods that they have day by day, which they can use as import for the next PVL conference.
“How coach Koji (Tsuzurabara) said, China is in the world in the world, in this division,” said Van Sickle, twice MVP PVL. “The simple fact of being able to go five sets with them is super unreal, so I am really satisfied with everyone’s fight.”
