2015 FIVB World Grand Prix


  • Lippmann and Dorendahl are cut

  • Standing at 193cm, Birykova has decent service reception for her height. She got blocked many times as she hit straightly to the hands of the opponents, if she improves her skills in the future, I think she can be a good outside hitter as Russia needs tall and offensive players.

  • we are terrible in best digger and receiver stats..this tells everything :thumbdown:

    Digger stats is a lie.


    btw..two italian OH's are in top 2 in best receiver..

    ... and our libero hasn't got enough attempts to qualify but she is 45/65 !


    Unfortunately, we haven't been able to take full adventage of it because the execution and the timing of the quick sets is off. It hurts the efficiency of our middles. The slide attack occasionally works, especially thanks to Chirichella albatross wingspan.
    It was a cute moment when coach Bonitta spent a time-out teaching the proper setting technique to Malinov who was freaking out. ^^
    Despite the lack of a threat from the middle, our pin hitters are doing a very good job. Not sure if they can keep it up.

  • canter, where's yilmaz? why isn't she playing?



    wow, polen is really playing well. i always thought she was a good player, i guess being neslihan's backup all those years really didn't allow her much play time.


    it is said that Yılmaz is injuried...i dont know how serious it is (hopefully not)

  • China Roster of 12 for Final Round in USA


    Head Coach: An Jiajie


    S: Ding Xia, Wang Na
    WS: Zhang Changning, Liu Yanhan, Liu Xiaotong, Wang Yunlu
    MB: Yan Ni, Zhang Xiaoya, Zheng Yixin, Zhang Yu
    L: Chen Zhan, Wang Mengjie


    The head coach Lang Ping plus the main players, Hui Ruoqi (C, OH), Zhu Ting (OH), Yuan Xinyue (MB), Yang Junjing (MB), Zeng Chunlei (OP), Shen Jingsi (S), Lin Li (L) will stay in China for the further central training.
    it is also a good protection for the key veterans from the injury weeks before the World Cup IMO.


    besides, the other two injuries are big doubt to China NT. Wei Qiuyue (S) has not reached 100% recovery yet, while Yang Fangxu (OP) will not return the court at least 8 months after the operation due to the torn ligament in her right knee.

    i may not be the tallest,
    the fastest, or the strongest,
    but at least i can do one thing better than anyone else,
    to be me...

  • This US team is just a perfect team with Larson, Harmotto and Akinradewo back. Kreklow :white: Can't believe she's just a newbie for this team....she's so good.

    perfect?
    Murphy attacked with % 34
    Hill with % 33
    Larson with % 13 :!:


    even Akinradewo with % 40


    passing was not good either


    so they were not offensively on a perfect day at least.. :wavy:...second week's team was better than this team :whistle:

  • They won 3:0 and that's what counts, not attack %. Most teams have low attack % against Japan. However I agree that Kreklow needs to work on her connection with Larson and Murphy, but that's perfectly normal because they haven't been with her for the last few weeks.


    Meanwhile the challenge system in Hong Kong is another joke. At one point Thailand challenged a block touch which was not shown in challenge but it showed a net touch, however since that wasn't what they asked for they didn't get the point :aww: And later there was another touch challenge and in the video it looked very much like a touch to me but again it wasn't given, and overall the camera quality of this challenge systems looks too bad and the decisions take waaaaay too long.
