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

    As much as many of us are feeling frustrated at missing out on the live action, there’s a bunch of guys feeling much worse... the Thai uploaders at FB and YT... thousands of fans were waiting for the live feed which didn’t come. It was billed as a big clash between Ajcharaporn and Chitaporn Kamlangmak... X(


    Luckily the Thai fans are usually quite forgiving and by this afternoon when they see the replay, they’ll be happy again... :)

    Wait Chitaporn has not played since November. Unfortunately for her Ohtake and Hirayama are doing very well for the team and when Hirayama gets yanked, Araki is already in line

    I noticed it’s played every before the Olympics.

    Now that you mention it ... I recall they said something about that in 2021, because they were cutting the Regular V.League short they would do it. So that may become the schedule moving forward. Seems a good idea


    I can't find anything about it being played from 2002 until the previous one in 2021 though


    2000 - NEC, Okayama

    2001 - Okayama

    2002 - SAGA


    2021 - Saitama, NEC, SAGA

    Final is Starting at VTV

    Today's finals was really just Koga blocking Nagaoka neutralizing any efforts on her side. You can immediately see her start to waver in the last set after yet again getting shut down by Koga. Basically the same thing that happened to her during their JT match. They don't even need to watch out for Fukazawa cause of how useless she was.


    They need better local OHs than the 2 players they have or it's just going to be the same thing over and over again. Nagaoka no longer has enough stamina knowing she gets targeted every time.

    Not a fan of Megumi. Personally, I would like to see more of Ayane Kitamado based on her U21 Worlds and Asian Club performance, but she don't have playing time so idk :( She came in earlier to serve and she served to the net :aww:


    To be fair to Megumi, she's handling the bigger load in attacking attempts and scoring, and sharing equal load with Adams at reception duties. They need Mckenzie Adams to step up more though. Semifinals stats because I haven't seen the Finals stats yet.


    Megumi Fukazawa - 27 points (25/62 or 40% kills, 48% reception on 30 attempts)

    Mckenzie Adams - 18 points (16/49 or 33% kills, 36% reception on 31 attempts)

    Miyu Nagaoka - 17 points (16/45 or 36% kills)

    Minami Nishimura - 59% reception on 17 attempts


    I would love for them to get an OH with better reception and floor defense than those they have now.


    Also, Moeri is injured again, from yesterday's match and is in crutches during the awarding earlier. Too bad.
