All regulation stuff.
Oh!
Tempted to say it's an ace, it's regulation for Nishida in Kazon City.
Ace number four.
He had a lot of help from the net, but even so, it's just 128 kilometers an hour.
And here he is facing one of the top servers in the world.
Oh, it's two aces in a row.
Ishikawa had back-to-back aces in the last set.
Nishida was missing out at the party.
It wouldn't be long.
And there's that communicator.
Just incredible.
Now we go to technical timeout on the back of that serve.
That knocks the wind out of you.
And the crowd here chanting his name.
And that is why this boy can play.
It's the 19-year-old Nishida who's on.
Oh, what an impact straight away.
One of the standout stars.
He's a global superstar already, just 19 years old.
And Yuji Nishida.
Who only took up the sport because his sister used to play it.
And he was...
Nishida goes through.
He's done it.
Seventh ace.
And Bulgaria just don't know which way to look.
They cannot stop the 18-year-old sensation Yuji Nishida
from destroying them on serve.
Oh, there is!
Wow!
One, two, three.
Nishida almost lifts the roof off his big dome in Kazan City.
One, two, three. Easy as Yuji.
What will he do with this one?
Only three back here.
For Egypt.
Oh, poor, poor, poor.
That was vicious.
Abdelhamid could not pick it up.
A little bit surprising.
They only had three back there.
I think there's a full reinforcement coming back in.
No, there isn't.
Nishida.
Well, it's an ace.
It's a beauty.
But Lesley just held it on its way.
Service reception.
Once again.
Causing all sorts of problems for the Russians.
They've just never been steady and settled back.
Nishida again.
And he's reached that glass.
Has that opened to the crowd?
Three aces out of four.
Well, he's only had a brief cameo in this match.
That's how you come out of a timeout, isn't it?
Oh, goodness me.
Absolutely brought it, didn't he?
On the front row to try and get a block.
It's a beauty.
Nishida.
With an ace.
Well, his arm's fresh.
And he always brings it.
He's got to find a big serve.
And he has.
And guess who they went after?
No prizes for guessing.
That went straight at Leal.
Who couldn't cope.
Here comes Nishida.
Oh.
That always means trouble.
Yeah.
Another ace.
20 points already in this game.
Many of them from the service line he's on.
Oh!
He's on another ace!
I was about to write you the stats for him about how many aces he's on there.
Now he's on a handful of aces.
Serves directly over that block.
Right into the shoulder.
Fujino taking evasive action.
24.
22.
Oh, he can get it!
And it is an ace!
Well, the timeout didn't work.
It probably added fire.
Look at that serve.
In the playoffs.
Not only that.
Kalipo are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table.
Oh!
Is it another ace?
It is!
They chase it down all the way out the back of the court.
Three aces.
In this run of serves of four for Nishida.
And they're on serve.
They could serve all the way to this set.
Nishida aces it!
Yeah.
Now's the time for Nishida to do it.
24.
22.
Two set points.
Serve!
Nishida!
What a way to bring up the ton in the VNL.
An ace serve!
And he becomes the 29th player in the 2023 Volleyball Nations League.
Oh, this is good stuff.
It really is.
This is a fun first set.
Nishida.
Just sending it down beautifully.
Nishida.
14 points for the game.
15 points for the game.
Here's Elsa.
A hard lesson in international volleyball.
Then deliver.
Well, he's number one on the shirt.
And he's number one.
Another ace serve.
Top of the net.
And that just...
You might not think it makes a difference.
It really does make a difference.
You read it.
What is coming.
And then that movement has just completely caught Luka up.
His eye on this ball here.
For his serve.
Three aces to his name so far.
Oh!
Let's make that four.
Just a thing of beauty.
Nishida.
With the heater.
And it's an ace serve for Nishida.
And he's thrown everything into this.
And then some.
Fastball.
You've got to be kicking.
It's the fastest of fastballs.
Palacios couldn't deal with it.
118 kilometers an hour.
Off the timeout.
Technical timeout.
Oh, my goodness me.
An error of judgment.
He's teased an error.
I think it might have been going in anyway.
The backcourt defender caught in two minds.
Do I leave it?
That's a mistake.
Do I go for it?
Well, he's left it too late to make that decision.
As Yu Yuanta.
As he took that a throw.
And he was tempted deep.
That was staying alive.
If he didn't get his hands on.
This tends to go full on.
We've seen a lot of those.
We'll look for another one here.
That's what you want to do with this serve.
Get two of them going for it.
You get two of them going for it.
You end.
And then Nishida continued to go after it.
That's it.
Nishida.
Getting ready to serve.
Thirteen serving eighteen.
It's a service ace for Yuji.
They needed it.
Couldn't have come at a better time for Vivo.
Yuji's second ace of the match.
Repeat that feat here.
His first service attempt.
Oh.
A service ace for Nishida.
Nearly taking Cavaccini's head off.
Yuji Nishida with a well-timed service ace.
Just catches.
That service ace up with this time.
And it's another one.
Back to back service aces.
For Yuji Nishida.
This time.
Untouched from Padova.
Just through the same seam he just went.
From the inline this time.
Oh.
He goes off of Mar.
And it's unreturnable for a service ace.
To Yuji Nishida and Vivo.
Could not have come at a better time.
Yuji with that left arm.
