Nation League Man 2023

Zhang Jing-yin' spiking and blocking party

China is a blocking machine!

For all things concerned, CHN's block is very disciplined. JPN haven't gotten much of their off-the-block spikes.

Jiang Chuan out and Zhai De-jun in

China won Set 3

Brazil fan here I’m now a China #22 fan

Nishida is still out of the starting lineup

Japan unable to block China’s #22

Nice win for the boys, Brazil gave us a go for a set and a half I would say, but in the latter part of the match we were able to build a healthy lead from which they couldn't recover. The first set was the real struggle, lots of mistake at serve and Piccinelli didn't give a lot of stability in second row. Luckily we fixed the serves, putting a lot of pressure on Lucarelli, and from there it became a smoother game for us.

Here we go tiebreak 2-2

Miyaura saving JPN right now.

JPN will win this now. Their service is back.

I mean hands off to China too. They pushed Japan to a tiebreak

I wanted China to win

China played well, but 67 errors between both teams, so lots of serving and hitting errors.

Chinese fans are protesting against the referees.

I just give the sentence, "Wu Sheng isn't the best head coach of Chinese men's NT. However, after Raul Lozano, would other famous coaches choose to be the head coach of Chinese men's NT? I don't know and I'm afraid that no one about world men's volleyball hope to know."

Thanks for Zhang Jing-yin!

Jiang Chuan is close to be retired in NT.

No Other Scenarios Today

Bruno era is over. Curious when Renan will notice that.

I liked Honorato is getting chances but why Renan insists on him too much? He is limited rotation player. Not the next one after Leal/Lucarelli.

Fernando has more accurate sets I agree

I agree. Brazil would be better if they start with Fernando. Bruno could be a useful backup.

And they could have brought Arthur instead of Vaccari
