Brazilian NT 2019

I would put Tandara and Lorenne as leaders of the OPP pack. But this is just my opinion though.

Same

i agree... it's hard to compare rosa because she's not playing in BRA league... i like bruna and p. borgo, but i think most people think it's tande and lorenne at the top right now.

I have to confess that I’ve seen Rio, Brazil - China match more than 5 times. The set I enjoy the most is the end of the 3rd. Brazilians faces are priceless 😂😂😂

Quote from akitoakie

LMFAO it was basically a FU from China after what they did to them in Beijing Olympics.

you guys made me go watch that match. i have a confession to make -- since rio matches were not easily available at the time, i kinda lost interest afterwards and i have never watched them... so today i watched CHN x BRA... that was a tense and emotional match, but not a great match, so many errors... dani, i thought, should have used MBs more, but even wei delivered some really bad sets... but juci, eternal juci, came in for thaisa and kept BRA alive in the 4th and 5th sets... too bad that thaisa at the time seemed to say some bad things about her... and those 2 service errors by BRA at the end were a killer... zhu ting at the end also started attacking short, inside balls and BRA block didn't adjust.

that wasn't just revenge for 2008, it was also for 2012... CHN lost to BRA in both OGs...

Juciely should be in Tokyo. I don’t see any other sliders that can both attack and block as good as her. Thaisa should stick attacking in Zone 3 and b-quick. Her slides can be awkward sometimes.

and oh mu Carol... she seems to be out of everyone’s mouth when it comes to Tokyo’s MB.

The MBs of Brazil are a big question nowadays. Thaisa and Fabiana are returning and playing well. Bia and Carol are somewhat underperforming. Juciely is playing well but will she remain healthy until Tokyo? Mara having a good summer playing during VNL.

and there's still adenizia and gattaz...

and there's still adenizia and gattaz...

I almost forgot these ladies. If i were to categorize them, it would be like this:

Fabiana, Thaisa, Adenizia

Bia, Carol, Mara

Juciely, Gattaz

Youngsters

I dunno how Ze would pick the best lineup from these choices.

i don't know, but i don't think either ade or juci are on the radar for ze... in spite of being great blockers and great athletes... i think they're too old by now for him.

We've said a million times that Leia retired from the NT.

This guy makes up a new roster almost every week

lmfao. it is sooooo hard to keep up with the roster. one minute Fabiola is the starter, next Macris is the most perfect setter out of all of them, and next Roberta actually sets better in Brazil’s style. 😂😂😂
