Quote from Metro Volleyball

How does her knee not crack every time she lands that leg?! even if her body isn't heavy there's still a great amount of impact during landing. I cringe whenever I see it happening but she should know better

nagaoka lands with both feet when she does a pipe but for some reason she's finding it difficult to land both feet when she's on the right or left. there's a greater ground reaction force when she's coming from the backrow especially when she serves and a longer stance time compared to when she plays on the right/left side so i guess that's how she's able to manage.

wait did eba not attend the 2019 all stars? i remember her attending it but im not sure now. the one where they all had stickers on their faces right that night ended so quick

She wasn't there. 2018 was her last ASG

Let's not forget about how they did Ebata dirty not inviting her to the All Star game before she retired smdh

I'm not sure I get how to vote on that thing. Do I have to collect a certain amount of cards to be able to vote?

Since it is an ALL STAR shouldn't all the NT members be there as a given. VL has gotten so bad at hosting these special events. The last couple of ASGs have been so dull and unforgettable. They should take notes from W League where 17K people attend every year. The last good ASG was probably back in 2018 when Araki was Referee and they made all the foreign players fight each other.

Their budget must've been so low they got some random singer to perform that was horrendous

I don't know why but I can no longer view V League's stats page I've been getting an error since the beginning of this season

sitenoise can you pls post the link to the rankings list with the top scorers, best receivers etc.

Nagaoka is GOAT'ed. She hasn't even reached that 250? or was it 350 games played award that v league gives out

Kawai and his JVA staff watching the games. The guy wearing white is Akio Yamamoto JVA Council Chairman. The ones with stripey ties are Hisamitsu execs the one from JVA's sponsorship division

Quote from sitenoise

The way that Airi picked that ball out of the net that came off Fukudome's face ... that's the kind of thing I think Airi contributes. She seems aware of the floor and has quick reflexes. Maybe try her at libero next

Is she KRob good to convert to lib? I skipped this match

Hopefully it's only a mild sprain, but if Koga is unable to fight in the match against Brazil it's about damn time Manabe shows us if Airi can do something for the team. If not, he needs to boot Airi off the team. I can't imagine why that would be a tough choice she hasn't done anything anyway. No reason to keep her around in the main team if all she does is watch the team "until she's ready"

Airi is super lucky Manabe is her fanboy. She does the bare minimum by translating for Koga and already her ass is secured for Paris. Meanwhile Kojima almost broke her spine during VNL and she gets dropped

Btw in case anyone's wondering Nakada didn't disconnect from the volley scene. She's super vocal about the current NT and is still apparently part of JVA. I think she might return as a coach somewhere.

A week before her birthday, Nakada held a training camp at Kobe with Nomoto.

i read somewhere that nakada is consulting a v2 women's team have you heard about that? i was thinking it might be gunma bank since mayumi saito is their coach

Kawakita is not about to let Momii outshine Matsui. This is the first time Denso dominates the wide roster at least 2 of them has to make it to the WCh

I agree I just don't see it with Sato. I wonder which tournament Manabe watched that he was so convinced she has what it takes. We thought she'd be an Ebata but she's not even close to Nabeya in her early years.
