The Day Brazil Shocked the Japan Volleyball Team !!!

Oh, it's just absolute. Look, he's loving it. Nishimoto. He does get maximum value from the celebration. Huge serve. Brazil down by four. If they could find one little run of... No, no. Absolutely no. More no and no again. Sakai looks for the middle of the court. He cannot hit this ball against the middle. You have to take some angle. You have to be able to work high and take some risk at the top. That swinging hard at the middle of the block results in exactly that. It was another rejection. Flavio. Three-point game for Brazil. Japan feeling a little bit of pressure on their service reception. Now they need to find another scoring solution. Chile not calling a time-out just yet. I tell you, Flavio is... The celebrations are great and they're really good because they're all being done to the crowd. But Flavio does not like this. He has a little look back. He's watching him, but that celebration is for the crowd. Love it. The gun show from Nishimoto. Bergman flying high. Brasilia hits the tempo right. Straight over the top of Oya. Bergman makes a really good last step into the court where he's always going to have the advantage of the block with time and location. He's not made it. That's a let-off. And look at this now. One in it. Brazil are coming back. They make it difficult to find the middle and they blocked it. We are all tied up at 18s. Brazil working over client reception. Not only is he not in line for the pipe attack, it slows down everything else. Time-out Japan. Nice. This is just ridiculously good from Brazil. They're forcing Oya to take the risk to not send Nishiyama. As a result, it will be Takahashi Wright coming back in for Kai. It's such a good serve though. This is one of my favorite serves just from that position. From five down to one. Because you've got Oya who's coming across. He can't find, he can't see his middle as well as he would like. He can with that one. That's a great dig though. Dahlan. That is way off the block. It is a dramatic turnaround. Brazil lead 20-18. They were four points down. 17-13 down. Realignment of the reception position for Japan. Oya now moves over to the middle of the court. At last they get Nishiyama to have a swing. They took four balls though. They forced that situation. Made Oya sit the last player in his priority list. Making this stadium look magnificent. Helping the fans to their seats as well. There's so much that goes on. And it allows us to be witness to some of the best volleyball there is. Oh yes, Okonomiyaki from Nishiyama. And it is Bergman who gets the point. 21-19 for Brazil. It's such a good Japanese pancake that, the Okonomiyaki. Bergman is loving it. Brasilia. That wasn't far away. Brazil find themselves on the right side of the side-out for Malaysia. As we enter the 20s. No good from Oya. Let's see in the background of the shot, Nishiyama. Getting himself ready to go. Does he have a role to play? Not if Bergman can help it. That might have been going out. I don't think Ogawa could get out of the way of it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. What a shot. Nishiyama. How does Oya get the ball there is what I want to know. He's 13 metres away. Puts it on the money for Nishiyama. Tomita with the serve. Kai's back on. Ram walks to the bench. Getting ready for tomorrow perhaps. He's just doing that cat impression. The golden cat. Tomita. His service effort long. Time-out. Oh goodness. Brasilia tried and failed in that spot. Judson the same. Unfortunately the net was bigger than his vibes. And it is match point, Brazil. Matheus is going to go out just so Darlene can come in and block. That means Mikey might pop one up or even Bergman. But that front row, apart from Onorato, are not setters. We've Darlene. The other Sousa on board right now. Pretty handy hitting from position one. First things first. Ball in. Make Japan play. That was fearless as well from Darlene. He had a swing to nothing effectively because there's still a side-out opportunity here now. So Oya's going out. Blocking substitution for Japan. Yamauchi. Indeed. His first appearance in the week. Great ball Mikey in the circumstances. Onorato. Has he got the hands? Has he got the hands? He thinks he's got the hands. The referee says no. We will have a challenge. It's right in front of the ref who didn't call it. 24-24. Japan still in the match. Nishiyama with the serve. It's a very good serve but a great ball. And that is class from Flavio. Match point number two. Kai or Nishiyama have got to be favourite here. Probably Nishiyama if it's not a great ball. Onorato. It's not a great ball. It's going to have to come back out to Kai. No one else can have a swing. And now it's in the transition. Lovely pick-up Mikey. Birkman for the match. Nice by Nishimoto. I'll tell you what. If he gets any more excited he might have a shirt rip. Might have to get him another one. That is something. There's an opportunity for incredible Hulk moments to happen. But it is a brilliant block. Great discipline by Nishimoto. Nishimoto doesn't reach out. Keeps his form. Japan. Another opportunity for break point to take set point. Kai with the serve. High to the middle. Will do. Alan puts it down. Match point number three for Brazil. That's quality to find that gap in the block. Now Flavio had a massive serving run. And Japan find the solution first time. They may not. Look up. Look up. Oh my goodness me. Alan got it. Johnson also gets it. But now there's still a chance. Japan. Kai. Makes sure of it. 26-0. We go again. Much better organisation of reception for Japan. Masada Kai expecting the ball to come to him. Not getting trapped this time. He will also finish the point. Thrilling volleyball here. Nishimoto to serve now for Japan. Chikurin the serve. He's just battered that off Tomita's hands. Match point number four. He's the less explosive of the Suzuki brothers. But he's always in control of what he's doing. Really trying to balance the fire and ice between the two. Oh. It is still in play. Free ball. For Brazil. And has finished it all off. And that is it. It's all over. Brazil have done it. They have beaten Japan by 3-0. 28-26 in the third. Magnificent.
