Vietnam's number one volleyball star, Thanh Thúy, has yet to play, awaiting the match against Indonesia.

On the afternoon of December 11th, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team secured their second consecutive easy victory at the SEA Games 33, defeating the weaker Malaysian team 3-0.

At the Huamark Arena (Bangkok), coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet continued to give Anh Thao and Nhu Anh a chance to start. Two players who didn't play in the first match, setter Kim Thoa and opposite hitter Kieu Trinh, also entered the game against Malaysia. Despite not fielding their strongest lineup, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team easily won the first set. Luu Hue, Nhu Anh, and Nhu Quynh consistently scored points, helping Vietnam win 25-8 in less than 20 minutes of play.

The scenario in set 2 was no different. Consistency helped the girls quickly win with a large margin of 25-5. Middle blocker Le Thanh Thuy was also brought onto the court to get a feel for the game. Similarly, set 3 was also very easy for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. The players played quite comfortably to win with an overwhelming score of 25-3, thus securing a 3-0 overall victory.

Why hasn't Vietnam's number one female volleyball star "entered the fray" yet?

Thus, after two matches, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy is the only player who hasn't had a chance to play. This is an understandable decision by the coaching staff, as the two previous opponents were considered weak, and Thanh Thuy had just returned from Japan. Resting the key player of the Vietnamese team will help her maintain optimal physical condition for the match against Indonesia to determine the winner of Group B. The final group stage match for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team against Indonesia is scheduled to take place at 5:30 PM on December 12th.
