I'm not sure about Furukawa over Yoshioka but Furukawa has her charm
she need to work on the follow-up
what's Yoshioka's stat? -
That Aika-Aki-Tanaka frontline is atrocious lol
-

JTs are having fun serving at Aoi
-
Is there a set number of challenges per match? Or is it replenished per set?

I think it's cool. She's gotta learn. NoSmilers were never going to beat JT anyway

Queen Shibata in

What I like about Okayama is that they're so quick to cover tips. Love it

Done deal. Congrats on the two wins this week, JT girls! Way to end the last game of the year for the V.League!
Is the Empress Cup still happening next week or nah?

Those NoSmiler kitchen sink endings

Is the Empress Cup still happening next week or nah?
As far as I know, yeah

I wish the VTV would let me screencap the live scoring play by play after the fact but it seems to allow for only the last set. It was interesting watching the end of set 1 go by against the NoSmilers. You could see the NoSmiler rotation each taking a couple swings starting at 23-23: Kaneda, Watanabe, Yoshioka, Kaneda, Watanabe. On the other side it was Druze -----------------> She took every swing but one from 23-23 until Momii's dunk at 32 all. That's bad for JT. Heed my warning

V.League is just being kind, but Himeji gets a pickup player highlight this week. #15 Aikiho Matsumoto. There's nothing in the reel worth seeing really, except to know what she looks like. She's a solid player, though. Batting 35%, high volume reception at 58%.
She's just hanging around. The deal here, though, with Himeji is that she should be the preexisting condition on the left and Saki Tanaka, who's kicking total ass, should be the preexisting condition on the right. That means the battle for 3rd spot should be between the Captain Riho Sadakane, Kanasugi (not a full time player) and the import Aliona Martiniuc. Martiniuc isn't playing much yet but if she works her way in it should be at the expense of the Captain--NOT Tanaka. That's a tricky situation.
Matsumoto ranks:
- Attack - 31st
- /per set - 19th
- Serve - 16th
- Reception - 18th
- Total Score - 12th
Himeji's double sub time is JT level good with Nao Horigome and Nana Magota; the libero is improving; the setter is average; Shiori Aratani is doing well blocking but pretty bad at scoring; two other MBs are average. You can see Himeji starting to feel like they belong, like Kurobe the past few weeks. Maybe it will translate into winning a match or two. They did just beat Kurobe. Toyota and SAGA coming up. I smell a winning streak
