TOP 20 Craziest Volleyball Actions by Volleyball Team Japan

Onto Hayashi. Oh yes, Ishikawa unloads. A beautiful setting decision having a middle goal right next to that outside. You see two blockers in that zone but they don't know who to go up with because you have them. Germany a bit of hope. Oh it was Saki. Pulls one out of the trick shot pile. Well so often she if she looks to attack it's a right hand attack going. Looks a lot better than 17-12. Oh my goodness me. That is unbelievably good setting. That is full commitment and a great job by Hayashi. That ball was dropping short but it's a super aggressive. Players available for this one for coach Kaj Kirae. Onfrogi is not playing. Polter and Plummer have gone back to the stakes already. Good slide. Another free ball chance. True's brings it but did that come off the block? They're saying no. They're playing on. It's still in play. Oh my goodness. I say this is just crazy. Sends it on his way. Oh that is hype attack from Koga. That's the risk that they have leaving. Watch out with the serve. On two it goes. Iwasaki just waited. We've seen a few different options of this second ball over today. Iwasaki's third point of the match and again that peripheral vision. She can literally see what's going on. So where the aggression needs to still stick with Dominican Republic. Control the game. Dictate it themselves. Don't let Japan get themselves back into it. That's what Koga does there. Good decision to find Koga. Again the player you set the ball to when you desperately need some help. Sure you can't leave with just one blocker. A tight one-handed set. Lovely little tip. Araki doing so well to use that high and just dropping it inside. That was a nice response from Araki. She wasn't able to make it in the play before on the block. Tried extra hard and got that attack. 22-15. In it goes. Is this the moment? No. Recycled. Good block attempt. I thought they'd got Hayashi but no, no. She continues with her brilliance. The brilliance of that set. Facing the wrong way. Long ball and still. Solid. Flat set out to Kijin. Making sure there's no error this time from Hayashi. Tips at the moment. Third tip. Third time lucky. Hayashi seeing Dominican Republic's block is just a little out of system right here. Seeing that hole in the middle. And the light. Well made and kept alive by Galam. Now it's her second time off the block and out of play. Goes. Have it in them still to keep. Close this gap. That one just off the fingertips of Ive. Slightly different for the player to adjust as the ball comes in from the left side instead of right on that backcourt attack. In the middle for change for the Dominican Republic. Ishikawa says can I have some backcourt action please? Ishikawa right in the seam and going straight ahead and again that's a low set. Kijin gets this one. Deep at six. Gonzalez. Oh what a pickup. Nice angle. Great shape. Hard for Kijin to deal with which is coming across the ball. He's changing the angle so much. A fast tempo offense from Japan from the back row. Something they did really well in that first set. Trying to find that momentum again. Massive game yesterday in front of 6,000. How's that taking its toll on Japan today? We shall find out. Big aggressive swing from Hanye. Goes again. From the back line Koga over to one. And before the match yesterday I didn't really expect to see a lot of back row attacks from them and Koga went off from behind the 10-foot line. She is an absolute threat and someone the Dominican Republic has to keep an eye on when she's almost stings even more. You just cancelled it out for yourself. It's a bad one as well. Mayashi with serve. Dio tries to take it on second contact. That's not going to work and driving in and blasting it out of the back row is Inoue who is now in double figures. Wu is in the right spot to receive that attack. Her platform drops. That's a problem. Watch right here. Platform. It moves. It breaks. If she would have kept her platform together and aimed to target that would have been a great dig. Now the big noise. Safe for the moment but a real swing chance now for Poland. Stysiak. Japan come again. Koga. Another swing chance. Stysiak again. Puts a little bit of extra sauce on that but still gets dealt with by Japan. Oh good save. Hoik back in. Now Japan with the advantage but they're still looking for the point. Oh yes. Oh yes. Now that's the rally of the match so far. Well it didn't have the duration but the intensity and determination was fantastic on both. The team's really been able to get away but Germany now need to dig deep. Need to get this point but it's gone to Koga. She rarely misses but she does this time. Chance for Germany. Stiegrot. Oh off the hands. Kojima. Koga with the touch. Here's Pogani. Which way does she go? Kinderman. Oh the block is good but not good enough to find the floor. Chance for Japan again. Koga. Alsmaier with the touch. Pogani. Free ball. Surely this time Japan put it away. Yes they do. Clinical by Hayashi. But credit to the Germans just rallying and rallying and rallying. Dave you must be getting exhausted calling these rallies. They're doing a fantastic job extending the play. Ah it's joyous though isn't it. You can't get much closer but it is a point to Germany. Ah that is a point to Japan. Koga unstoppable. So Iwasaki they've shown some variation on this ball when she's shifted out towards the antenna. Whether she sets a fixed distance or whether she's trying to get that ball as wide. It's a big height differential. Chong Chong Ying 193 over there on that side. Koga doing well with the tip but it's dug and a free ball offered up by Nifei Fang. Better. Smart hitting by Hayashi. A beautiful tip this ball nearly going straight down. Sometimes with tips you see them go up before they go down. This one's so good it was kind of just thrown straight down. First time Iwasaki. Ishikawa puts that off the floor. Every set in a way comes in where's number 10 for Ishikawa. From the back line we see more of Ndiaye. A little touch on the second ball from Fukudome. Great resilience here from France. Can they get the finishing touch on the hit? Koga's there. She's ghosting it as well. It goes out wide to four. Somehow got that around the block and Leroy had no chance as much as she was chasing hard on that one. Inoue all smiles right now and it's all in this placement for Japan. Four points the gap here. France needs to focus again on the next point. Nice block. Get that defense in position. Oh that one has caught the floor. Trying to a bit sneak and get away with that one but the referee saw that one. Koga seeing France buckling up. Great hard hit. It goes right to the middle. Even Julen not able to get a hand on that ball. Making it a hybrid. Cross. Runs the middle. Quick attack by Olinga Andele. Ishikawa this time just squatting up to the net straight through.
