    There are a lot of polemics in the NCAA about Jordan Lucas from CSU Northridge for his attitude on court.

    I find it ridiculous. If players are not allowed to yell at each others, how could this be okay? Not to mention it looks like those gay amateur leagues from Brazil where the show is the main focus and the players fake afrontes to make drama on court.

    Who is this legend 😍 MORE PLEASE

    But that's completely other topic 😂 Realista mentioned several times that it is about quality of their attack from position 4 only and so on i was talking only about that. I mean you can disagree even with that obviously, i dont mind as i'm not like 100% for Markova, it probably will depend on a day, or after i rewatch (i wont) Zhu games for example, but it is just odd to me that we cant stick to simple topic lines, like how on earth you can bring defense to this 😆 It is to early for Markova to even be on a long list when it comes to GOAT or whatever liftime discussion, where KYK will be solid option for example.

    I argued for her variety in attacks in position 4 as well and court knowledge. Much like Zhu, KYK was also not quite error prone (and neither is Marina)


    I don't know why you feel the need to act snobby, but there are several narratives being spoken of right now (Steven for example spoke about overall skills first, so Idk what kind of diverging you see) and we can add more as well as we go on, this is what discussion boards are for, it's quite literally on-topic laughing_emoji

    But we are talking about their abilities, not accomplishments.

    I would keep my opinion because YKK was one of those generational talents that make volleyball incredibly smooth to watch, particularly in her prime, that's partly attributed to her complete game, court knowledge and high technical skills. Like a Federer of volleyball, many of us will keep mentioning her even if her accomplishments fade.


    Marina is still covered at times and that was so rare for Kim. In fact I remember her covering defense subs lol. Don't get me wrong Marina is definitely up there and she is the one, but I definitely see other arguments.


    The titles I only brought up to put things into perspective and imagine a roadmap for Marina and ways she could be solidified as "the greatest ever" in the future.

    if we talk about attack, ykk is not even close

    Disagree. Peak YKK was as many here said very impactful for many years. And she had a greater range of variety in her shots and skills in general. As of now Marina still needs to win a CL too, to solidify herself, Kim did win CL with FB and had 2 League titles and 6 cups (Marina for now at 1 League and 2 cups) I won't mention OG MVP since Marina could do great with Russia but CEV and FIVB are being stupid


    With that said I usually don't like to compare legends with active players, one day I might say Markova was the best ever indeed but that is not today. Zhu and Mireya are also contenders indeed and there are actually many more.

    that is not correct. Anything below %50 attack is bad for an MB since they in theory should have one blocker in front of them. So 36% is very bad for MB offense while 41% for OH is pretty decent. So their offensive levels aren't comparable at all

    I would say anything 45 and above is good for an MB and 40 and up is good for an OH. Probably because getting half of the kills right consistently always remains to be a task. Opps are 40 and up too but with the expectations that it's more than the OHs unless they got an extreme offensive workload.


    But 36% is ok for an OH depending on their defensive duties but is pretty bad for an MB indeed. I'm just overthinking-analyzing irrelevant data on this whole post but anyway :lol:

    I don't think she was injured, honestly I believe there was some other issue

    in Sarah Pavan's podcast when they were talking about her not playing against Scandicci, she said she's heard a rumor that management told Abbondanza who he has to start

    That's ridiculous, honestly they could have won with Korneluk cause they literally lost splitting hairs and that could have been the defining factor. Sounds like FB needs a core cleanse starting from the management same way Eczacı did a few years ago.

    Korneluk proving why her presence on court is important

    even if not reflected in stats - she's getting so many touches on the net that Vakifbank can't just hammer whatever set they get and score

    Never understood why some people called her flop this season, more like FB flopped in utilizing her properly... Didn't they also play CL with Aslı, what was that about? I assume Korneluk was injured maybe?

    I dont think Baijens will be bench player. I think their starting six will be

    Lazareva-Sıla

    Baijens-Karmen

    Derya-Deeldrop (if she fails on reception and she will, then Degradi for her)


    very balanced team on paper

    I hope to see this starting lineup which could be very good if the chemistry is there. Beyza hasn't been good-good since she played in Çanakkale and has been benching many seasons so...

    I do admit that I was one of those people that witch-hunted Terzic ✌️😭 I still think he had bad energy sometimes but it worked... yes.


    I remember him getting kinda physical with Buse Ünal, I didn't really like that. Might as well lose cups if we're going that route.


    It's ultimately the reason fans wanted him gone and then not winning CL anyway to kind of excuse it, even if they looked good

    Congrats GS 👏 İlkin was good and this was definitely her moment. MVP is debatable I guess with also Alexia, I kinda would yolo and give MVP to WYY but that's just me. I can understand why it's not Naz cause she wasn't always playing, but indeed love to see her like this.


    Crovolley will officially be done with CEV Cup from now on :lol:

    Well that's good news, 2 teams that will at the very least make a decent-ish squad. Manisa is sponsored by Vestel whom sponsored the league a while ago so that's promising and Afyons male team just relegated, so maybe higher investments will be possible for the women's team.


    The question now remains do you guys think İlbank will make proper transfers and choose to compete or... They will take the free opportunity for relegation and transfer random young locals in hopes they can sell some to bigger clubs and make money again 😂
