THIS IS THE CRAZIEST Match in Japan Volleyball History !!!

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST Match in Japan Volleyball History !!! The first week of the qualifying round of the Volleyball Nations League 2024 (VNL) Brazil tournament is being held in Rio de Janeiro, and the Japanese men's volleyball team is participating.
On Saturday, May 25th (Japan time), the Japanese men's national team, ranked 3rd in the FIVB world rankings (at the time of the end of the match), faced Cuba, ranked 9th, and won in full sets 3-2 (18-25, 25-22, 25-23, 19-25, 22-20), marking their third consecutive win since the start of the tournament.
From the beginning of the first set, Japan struggled against Cuba's high wall, but they persevered by covering with blocks. Even though Cuba was ahead, they kept their rhythm and waited for a break chance. However, they were attacked by the opponent's powerful serves, making the score 10-12. Furthermore, a counter attack from Cuba's good defense made the score 12-15, and the score difference gradually widened. Japan also hit strong serves in an attempt to get a break point, but could not score. They struggled against Cuba's serves in the final stages, and lost the first set 18-25.
In the second set, Japan, wanting to break the bad streak, took an 11-6 lead with a block from Kentaro Takahashi and a service ace from Masama Tomita, and took control of the game. Cuba showed tenacity and was caught up to the score, so Japan brought on Yuji Nishida. Nishida lived up to expectations with three consecutive service aces to make it 21-19, and Japan continued to take the set 25-22.
In the third set, Tatsunori Otsuka was sent onto the court from the start. Cuba was in control from the beginning, and there were times when they were leading by a large margin of 7-13, but Japan showed tenacity with spikes from Otsuka and Kento Miyaura, and they tied the score at 18-18. When Seita Sekita used effective quick shots to break down Cuba's block, Japan regained their rhythm and won the set 25-23.
Japan wanted to continue their momentum and take the lead in the fourth set, but they struggled with Cuba's tall attacks and blocks, falling behind 8-14. Nishida was substituted for Miyaura, but Cuba's momentum was unstoppable, and Japan lost the set 19-25.
In the final fifth set, Cuba had a match point at 11-14, but Kai Yuto, who was selected from the start of the set, attacked with his serve, and Onodera Futoshi made a block to tie the score at 14-14. Both teams made side-outs, and Nishida finally made a spike to win the match 22-20. They extended their winning streak to three.

[@bemo343]

Kentaro is such an underrated middle blocker for Japan in my opninion, he's so aggressive and has a very strong hit.

[@cleoglenglor7880]

Kentaro is 3-time best blocker in Japan VLeague.

[@user-kw8jx6ub1j]

I have a problem with my serve, but as a middle. But as a middle, I think he is one of the best in Japan.

[@bemo343]

[@BakiPido]

Painful to watch. It’s like Cuba really really wants to lose smh

[@PS-eu]

Setter MasaHERO Sekita !!!

[@kaminoyami30]

Cuba kinda just crumbled

[@sackwhacker]

14:42 Onotsukaaaaaaa!

[@andyconcepcion648]

I am from Cuba . I can tell you the cuban team back at home is training with bad quality shoes, poor nutrition, holes in the floor of their gym that they just have to live with and train around, no AC ( Forget about that, too expensive for the sports federation) a miserable salary, and more conditions that are not adequate for the sport. Anyways I am proud they came this close against Japan. I wonder what this team could do if they actually had good training conditions to develop themselves.

[@krishnanarayan4558]

👌✌️💖👌✌️💐

[@azhad_lele6140]

Is this 2023

[@nickzx2709]

how did cuba have that many serve errors in the lest set? i love the japanese national team but cuba would have definetly won that if they didnt miss so many serves.

[@aruneewannawong9539]

ฉันรัก🇯🇵พวกคุณเก่งมากฉันจะสนับสนุนคุณตลอดไปจากไทยแลนด์🇹🇭

[@tugsu2038]

Where is ran

[@oomurice]

i believe he had an injury

[@bunbun5805]

both ishikawa and ran were resting during the first week of vnl because they made it to the finals of the Italian League just recently before this game.

[@charanjitsandhu2628]

At 14 _ 11 , Cubans were winning , but stupidity creaped in them . Clever and cool Japanese won the match .

[@zaza0830]

Waw

[@adindaadinda-qo1dr]

Songgong.

[@MeepMeep88]

Lol half the faults are CUB serving out or into the net ha

[@anthonylauron9587]

cuba lost to themselves

[@umbalaxx]

More like stupid serve errors and mistakes made by cuba

[@JoseRios-dh6yz]

Kentaro I love you😊

[@user-mc7mi3mq4c]

มันต่างกันมากในตัวบุคคลถึงคิวบาชนะก็เป็นเรื่องธรรมดาไม่น่าภูมิใจแต่หากญี่ปุ่นชนะนี่สิน่าภูมิใจมาก.และแล้วญี่ปุ่นก็ชนะสุดยอดน่าภาคภูมิใจกับคนญี่ปุ่นด้วยจร้า❤.
