Japan - V.League V1 (Division 1, Women) 2023-2024

    Okayama #3 MB Ayaka Taguchi :* 1/1 and 2 blocks


    haru_12 :lol:


    [-] Update: 2/2 and 2 blocks after 2 sets

    Kurobe setter Sato is starting ( Phoenix ) without knee pads, but Top 5 MB Sato is not. She started last night but looked way off. Maybe nursing a minor injury. She's dressed at least

    Quote from volleyb

    No Sarina Koga for today, even on the bench

    Any word from the tweetboxer world about why?


    We'll just have to take the opportunity to enjoy some Ai Hirota :rose:

    I thought Adams was wearing a hearing aid or an airpod or something, but I guess it's a tattoo on her neck

    Kurobe Coach is giving Hoshino Sumida a very long leash to try and replace Aimi Takahashi as 2nd OH. She's 0/10 so far tonight with a 25% kill rate on the season :white:

    Some great digs in that last rally. Too bad Yamada couldn't muscle it over the net

    Quote from volleyb

    NEC could've tried Chinami and the other new OH as well but they are both not in the roster, too bad. Ajcharaporn is 2/17 in attacks and can't kill a ball but they don't have a replacement.

    First thing I looked for was if Runa Tanaka (the other new OH) was dressed. She needs a shot. She may be nursing injury? I guess Hina is beyond consideration. Sad for her. She got a few serves in but coach must not trust her beyond that. I dunno what's up with Ajcharaporn. She at least blocks well. And I think she looks good but when I check her stats I'm always surprised they are below expectations

    I would assume Runa and Chinami are both nursing injuries or in "poor condition" since they both haven't dressed yet this season. I'm not a fan of Hina, based on what I've seen whenever she gets playing time in the off season tournaments. I'd pick all the other NEC OHs over her at this point. She can be an SS/DS though.


    I like Ajcharaporn for NEC. She has good vibes in the court and fits well :lol:

    Derya has the biggest "give up" on a bad set. It's funny. Especially on attempted back attacks. Neither setter has figured her out in that department

    Did that NEC ball hit the ceiling ? Didn't look like a regular brain fart campfire

    Come on Kurobe. I need a feel good. I need a Hitachi :super:


    [-] Nothing against SAGA, personally. I just like when bad teams beat good teams

    Sometimes it seems like a Derya Show but Pimpichaya is out-swinging her 55 -> 48

    Nice try Kurobe. SAGA got lucky. Riho Otake went 11/16, 2 Blocks, no errors. How old is she?


    No excuse for the Denso/Hitachi losses. I'm mildly pissed


    Remember to set your clocks back

    :(

    Kurobe still looking for their first win.

    Along with Okayama and Prestige :white:
