Quite the difference in crowd size between last night's coolSMASHERS and the VIE v CHN match

But I dunno. I can't really get excited about this 3 import version of the coolSMASHERS. I guess it helps rest some who just came off the PVL. But if I can't gaze upon Gamabao's beautiful face for more than a dub sub, or watch B Pons jump around all beach-y, I'm just not down with it

The passing is terrible. The start of the match was some of the worse volleyball evar seen

" difference in crowd size "

In the large section behind the officials/bench I counted one fan in set 1, 2 in set 2 and I think 3 in set 3. After that I lost count      

"some of the worse volleyball evar seen"

With Galanza, Gumabao, Negrito, Pons etc playing I didn't see much of the volleyball

Congrats to Thailand for winning the match! Really fun game with a lot of potential NT players in the future (Donphon especially).

Absolutely !

Any impressive players to watch in Thai team?

So, the young stars (juniors) played today.. if you missed it, you can watch the replay Here

Among the juniors , no.6 Warisala, no.4 Donphon, no.10 Kanchana, middle blockers no.24 Kanyarat and no.25 Nattharika were impressive.

The seniors will play tomorrow and we will post the link here. It's not the full NT because some players, like Chatchu-On are still involved in league matches overseas. Watch out for captain Thanacha, MB Wimonrat and setter Natthanicha. I think some juniors will join the senior team tomorrow. There's a list of players with their data here:

Thai team win against Korea

The great thing about Team Thailand is the presence of synergy, which Team Korea does not have. Love Donphon too, great energy.

Yep... this was evident in set 4. It was a bit messy for them. Warisala who rested in set 3, got back and took advantage of the situation. I suspect Warisala, Donphon and one of the MBs might join their seniors tomorrow.

For Korea, Jeong YunJu, Park EunSeo and Lee SeonWoo impressed with their attacking.

Park EunSeo was nailing her serves, Jeong YunJu was hitting winners... Koreans take set 3...

Quote from throwawayanyway

Yes, it seems they want to prolong this match lol.

As set 3 gets underway, the Thai side made several changes....

It seems like the Korean coach is making more changes, giving more players opportunity to play. The Thai side kept the starting 6 more or less unchanged.

Here's the link for the All-Star Supermatch for Korea and Thailand: link

They're closely matched in all aspects, it's so exciting

They're starting with the young stars... when will the seniors play? right after the juniors' match ?

Edit:

Seniors play tomorrow ! I missed your earlier post

Quote from sitenoise

OP Rena Sato is leaving Ligare Sendai. Sounds like she wants to keep playing, but Sendai was the place for her. I'm bummed. She's 171cm so probably no place for her in SVL

They are also losing their starting OH Kanae Yagishita to retirement

Them, and losing Setter extraordinaire Yuna Kato, is going to set them way back. I don't think they have money for imports, but I don't want imports. I want them

hopefully everyone at Shinsuu will stay 🙏

Quote from Andreavillar

How did Yang Shu-ming perform? I believe she played for the Shanghai U20 team? She left quite a good impression at the WCH U17.

Yang is in the Shanghai u18 team. So far she hasn't made a big impact. I feel she can be much better if she can jump a little higher. Yang is 193cm but I've seen players around 180cm having a higher reach. At WCH U17 the players weren't that big so her size was still an advantage. Moreover they had a very capable setter there..Zhang Zi-Xuan.

Below... if you have time, have a look at how the team performed in round 1, 2

Yang is no.12. The other players to watch are Huang Yuexin no.16 with black shoes , and the middle blockers Wang Aoqian no.19 and 16 yo Song no.14

vs Liaoning

vs Chongqing
