🇯🇵 JAPAN vs USA 🇺🇸 | Highlights | Men's VNL 2024

JAPAN vs USA | Highlights | Men's VNL 2024. The third week of the qualifying round of the Volleyball Nations League 2024 (VNL) Philippine tournament is underway in Manila.
On the final day of the preliminary round, Sunday, June 23rd, the Japanese men's national team, ranked 4th in the FIVB world rankings (before the start of the match), faced off against the United States, ranked 5th, and won in straight sets 3-0 (25-20, 25-23, 25-19). This was Japan's first win against the United States in eight years, since 2016. Japan finished the preliminary round with 9 wins and 3 losses (25 points).
Japan made major changes to their starting lineup from the previous day's match against France. In the first set, Onodera Futoshi scored two consecutive service aces to take a 6-4 lead early on, and Otsuka Tatsunobu scored consecutive points from his serve to make it 11-7. The Americans gradually improved their form, and Japan took a timeout when the score was 13-13. After the 20th point in the final stages, Miyaura Kento and Kai Yuto scored service aces to take the first set 25-20.
In the second set, the US defense was good, and Otsuka and Kai's success rate began to drop. Nevertheless, Everdedan Larry's block was successful, tying the score at 17-17, and the US took a timeout. Miyaura's service ace put Japan back on track at 21-20, but the US fell behind again, and at 22-23, Japan took a timeout. In a back-and-forth game, Japan won the heated rallies and took the second set.
In the third set, USA took the lead 6-9 with the 10th block point of the match. With USA still leading by two points, they conceded a service ace to make it 13-16. Still, they got a break point on Larry's serve to tie the score at 18-18, and then Miyaura served again to break and turn the game around to 20-19. With Miyaura riding on the momentum, she got match point at 24-19 with three consecutive service aces, and Kai finally scored a spike to make it 25-19. They won in straight sets with a 3-0 set count.
In addition to the high success rate of the middle blocker rally players, Miyaura and others were able to get many service aces, which led to the victory. Although the team was mainly made up of reserve members, it was a match that showed the depth of the player base.
Kento Miyaura
"It was a difficult match and there were many tough moments, but I'm glad that we were able to attack with tenacity as a team towards the end. I've had a good feeling with my serves since yesterday, so I was conscious of maintaining that feeling. Today, I was able to hit with all my might at the crucial moments. The U.S. didn't have their main players on the field today, but they have a lot of good players, especially in the middle blocker position. Their main players are all superstars, so I think it will be a tough match if we play against them at the Olympics. (Our defense and blocks were good.) It's great that we were able to persevere as a team. Tenacity is our strength, and if that's working, it will make the opponents feel uncomfortable. Personally, I had some tough times from the start of the tournament, but I've been able to solve them little by little, so I want to carry that on and go into the final round. The final round will be an even tougher match, so I want to fight as a team. I want to learn a lot and use it to get to the Olympics."

Future of Japan volleyball looks bright.

[@kabirajdhamala761]

Ahhh team B 🎉🔥

[@Gingergold4628]

There are 3 additional great talents that japan has lined up at their roster and I can see that they'll improve more , Masato kai, Larry, And Miyaura

[@krwonwoofiee]

Both Kento Miyaura and Larry Evbade-Dan were called to NT since 2021, they were part of the roster ever since. Only Kai Masato is the newbie here.

[@vze1lat7]

Kai the “baby “ 😀 is officially a member of the 13 Olympic squad.

[@muhamedermekov]

They didn't even lose to the main team...Miyaura is amazing

[@KeoKaii]

almost no starters played for usa wym?

[@memax_music1608]

They are not the main team

[@helpsnonehurtsnone]

Miyaura getting that one handed block with his non-dominant hand…and it looked too cool 😩

[@もややん-v6f]

世間で『二軍だろ』と見下した言い方をする人達がいるけど、その二軍と言われる選手たちこそ必要である一軍と同等、あるいはそれ以上のテクニックやパワーや展開を持っていたりする。 この試合後のファンへの対応はアメリカと日本の選手たちの愛情でしたね(ﾟーﾟ*)

[@a.y2720]

日本が勝つ→相手が二軍だったから～、日本はいつも全力で手の内晒してバカみたい 日本が苦戦または負け→日本はやっぱり大したことない、これが本当の実力ww こういう意見、心底うんざり

[@FelipeCochi]

WHAT A GAME for Japan, even mostly playing with reserve players. Miyaura growing to be on par with Nishida for the Opposite position. Great middle spikes from Larry!

[@Doggof2p]

Japan looking hella mighty this year, i believe in the boys

[@tobiascabrejas5154]

Ishikawa and Nishida are becoming so predictable by Team USA so Japan has to put Miyaura and Kai on the battlefront.

[@Cromaticz]

We're volleyball guys of course we comment before watching the highlights

[@joelsuk769]

love it 🤣

[@Sindyloz]

Volleyball players are so freaking Hot.... God

[@mo-gi2go]

ogawa or yamamoto Yamamoto was selected to compete in the Paris Olympics. The coach was faced with a luxurious choice.

[@keiionno]

Coach Blaine even said in an interview that him choosing between Ogawa and Yamamoto for Olympics is the hardest choice for him because both are equally great. He even got emotional.

[@gift4you23]

kai is soo handsome❤

[@jm088]

Japan Team it's crazy to watch more thrilling games I love it ❤

[@AileenLeonar]

Congrats to my favorite team, Team Japan.💪👏❤ Fan of Kai Mosato.

[@icecold.04]

[@SDchoroQ]

miyaura, ishikawa, nishida, larry and all the team, japan can become number 1 ?

[@maranivamedeirosdemorais4468]

Os chicleteiros reservas acharam que iriam ganhar do Japão, deixando os titularesque pra descansar pro jogo contra? Só que não!

[@masterlg8139]

I think this is team B vs team B right?

[@gissneric]

yup

[@Xaevz]

must be

[@OmeiGoD]

Think so, only Shoji on team USA is a regular I think

[@yabe6304]

But I think Miyaura and Nishida are very close in skill level

[@Xaevz]

@@yabe6304 true

[@tanann2751]

Miyamura

[@tishue]

the Philippine crowd is the mvp here 😂

[@aakton]

Imagine Japan team in 5 years, they will probably be #1 in the world easily

[@cornstocks3092]

i swear japan are like one of the best in formation and skill but they just need height😭

[@fishingrimbo3278]

Japan tampil luar biasa

[@PhonPhon07]

On fire 🔥 Amazing Japan!!!❤️

[@МелиссаЧерная]

Referee Angela Grass is not ashamed of her behavior. Instead of apologizing, she deletes negative comments on her Instagram. And brags about his participation in the Olympics

[@fishingrimbo3278]

Game yang luar biasa..USA vs japan

[@drewta-ay6701]

5:10 pilipino love sports see the crowd shouting

[@tralex1737]

[@mavara2109]

[@hnou0902]

Japan wins without Yuki Ishikawa, Ran Takahashi and Yuji Nishida...It's a Great Team Japan!

[@locomojoboy2]

Where are all the big names for both teams like Christensen, DeFalco and Nishida?

[@michaelobenita9111]

i said USA should hit the ball hard in 3rd set , 23 - 24. Off spike will not work in japan

[@hopeconanan8917]

Japan ichiban 🫶

[@greater_iran-2]

Шансов на победу у сборной России нет, иначе она преподала бы Японии такой урок, что их бы залпом застрелили 🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪

[@sassychang007]

USA just gave up at the end lol! They weren’t even gonna try 😂

[@tonyo7324]

Great!!!!!!

[@amazinc754]

I know this has been said a lot but the current state of Japan national volleyball is in great part due to Haikyuu

[@DatNguyen-xn4jd]

I don't see Ran, Nishida, Nishikawa.

[@Xaevz]

lmao they are not the only ones that play for Japan. Plus I think both USA and Japan had their "B" teams on anyway.

[@danboibot]

Nishida and ran are injured I think nishikawa is also injured but idk

[@emelindaferrer4455]

Ishikawa*

[@Sharkyummer23]

F usa

[@robertlaron3841]

Not there 1st 6,I think usa wants to go home early so they can prepare for the olympics

[@normanwidadnordin8298]

I love how japan sent their 2nd team and still obliterated USA 😂

[@tylink99]

Nishida bench?

[@danboibot]

Injury

[@DMarinari]

Larry is very effective in his attacks and Kai is a new Japanese treasure. Maybe Larry is better than Onodera to the team. Yamauchi, Kentaro and Larry.

[@krwonwoofiee]

Nah, I'd say Kentaro is the less effective of the four. If I were to rank Attacking MB Yamauchi, Onodera, Larry, Kentaro Blocking MB Onodera, Yamauchi, Kentaro, Larry

[@DMarinari]

@@krwonwoofiee I only saw this game with Larry, that's why I said "MAYBE".

[@yamgurung-hu7wh]

This is optional team of japan😅😅😅

[@hantaili8116]

Why Japan has a player named Larry😂

[@rio3716]

USA melempem. 😮

Japan u heroes in the world 💕
