Tomohiro Yamamoto | Fastest Volleyball Libero in the World | Crazy Skills !!!

And a put down. That is world-class. And Yamamoto doing a lap of honour. Why not? What a pick-up. We haven't had to call his name very much this evening. Not being pressed into duty on reception. That touch is an absolute hurler. Say, hello Moto. What a pick-up. Yamamoto. And would you believe it? Of course you would. Ishikawa scores again. Precision on this set is incredible. It's a great dig down the line. Running away from that, jump-setting that ball and putting it absolutely on the spot. From Perry to Darcy. Free-swing. Oh my goodness. Yamamoto's got... Don't give in. And Japan will take the point. Everyone else has stopped. The blocks like... Oh, that's alright. Yamamoto's on. He'll get it. Match point, Japan. That was so nonchalant from Perry. He's like, yeah, alright. I've had enough now. Oh, he's only gone and made a touch. Oh, flower there, yes. Stay in play, stay in play, stay in play. And Japan have fluffed their lines. And the hard work for Australia pays off. As is so often the case, that big chase-down point. The attacking team snatches a little bit at the offence. Flower eight. Hand-leading Courier by one set to nothing. Goodness me. That is... Did someone just press the fast-forward button on that play? Defence is wonderful. Fukatsu gets ready so early. Who sped up Brandt's swing? Gravity. A contact through the middle the camp team is looking for. Down goes the little chop-chop. Oh, what a pick-up. What a finish. What a point from Japan. Fantastic defence by Tomihiro Yamamoto. Not just the positioning. Not just his ability to stop the ball hitting the floor. I think putting that ball on the money. Ishikawa serves again. But what a dig from Yamamoto. And again, good touches. Nishida. Oh, well-played hachi, but he's now out of the attack. So Courier steps in and steps up and takes the point. That is awesome. Yamamoto absorbing some of Iran's best in attack. At the end, Courier is the one to come up with the decisive action. He's so good, he stepped in. Brandt with the serve. Putting pressure on Hazrat. Good set from Ashiya. What a hit. Good dig from Yamamoto. Nishida fires it off the hands. But he's straightaway calling for the touch. The referee said, no, you're out. And he's just waiting for anyone from Iran to admit to it. But none of them will look at him, which kind of tells you they touched it. Let's find out. Yamamoto positioned himself absolutely perfectly. Iran receiving. Japan leading by two sets to nothing. Yamamoto. And it's a great point start for Japan. Roberto Piazza said that Iran needed to grow up in serve reception. They needed to be better in that area. Goodness me, what a dig. Touching the block and now in system. Here comes Japan on a tear up. Incredible defense from Brandt. Japan's blocking throughout these first two sets has been absolutely phenomenal. Not just the technique, the decisions, the preparation, the calm. We have to play. That's a really good precision serve. And out of nowhere, Australia have got a chance to get the point. For some reason, Darcy has gone with the wrong shot. And that's off the block. And Japan will have the point. There's also suspicion that Darcy had gone under the net with his feet. Although no challenge was bookmarked. He managed to tiptoe on the line. This tickles the fingers of James Weir. The poke. Well played. Good recycle there from Ishikawa. And a nice cover from Rand. Great point for Japan. Perhaps an early indication with Japan that they are going to be looking for that recycle play if it's a bad situation. They know that it will be a big block in front of them. Yamamoto. Takahashi Rand showing he's amphibious by playing it with his other hand. Definitely amphibious. Can function in water and on land. A little bit better on land. Look at the right. Chance for a break point. Taken. And look at this. This is the response from Japan. 6-1. Expecting this kind of performance from the absolute get go. And in set three. Not expecting the job to have been done after set two. Block. Got to be higher than that. But it's a net touch against Japan. They're not going to be able to celebrate much longer. Sao saying I didn't touch you. Well, you may have had your seven seconds. Might be too late. They can challenge. But that would be their second challenge. There's two net touches. It wasn't Sao. A six-point lead. Yamamoto. This time Oman ready for the roll shot. Oh, yes. You don't get two points for hitting it hard. You just get a point no matter how you do it. And that was done. And Oman had the point. And trademark stance. Katsu. I said good up. I feel he could have done better with that. Because he's so quick with his movement. And with his feet. He kind of thought I'll just wait here. I'll be fine. He has made the adjustment on position against the Oman. It's a space finish. He didn't pick where he wanted to go. Oman running out of time to get themselves reset. That ball coming back to the Japanese side of the net. Shikawa to serve. Is that in? No. That's a shame. But really good footwork. Katsu to get himself in such a good spot to decide then where he wants to go. Had all options available in the offense. The shortest distance. He's in play. Free ball. Two front row, two back row again for Japan. All moving. Oh, it's glorious. And that is the perfect tip. Yamamoto blocking this from Oman. And that's also classic Nishida when he's not properly ready to go. Takes him a while sometimes. Oman displaying good physicality at the net. Need to respond to that long ball back. The recycle play.
