TL dry? Here’s Ishikawa and Nishida getting fooled by Ngapeth on separate instances 🤣
The vibe on the kids’ high fives to Ngapeth were like “i hate you for being so good at this” 😆

TWO OF THE MOST ELECTRIFYING LIBEROS IN 2022 WCH SHOOK HANDS AND WE DIDN’T GET A CLOSE UP????
Ngapeth to Ishikawa-Nishida and Bart to Nishida had one, but Jenia and Tomo none? 🥲

This is the first time i’ve seen the reserve melting with agony 😆 i mean we can’t blame them, they’re us too in front of our screen 😅
You know it’s really frustrating when you see a very calm Miyaken doing THAT

This is the end of 2022 NT season for Japan. The team will go home, have a little meeting and go back to their respective club teams to prepare for the upcoming local leagues this October. Truly a magnificent improvement from 2021. Proud of you, Nippon! 🇯🇵

Commentator said that Japan’s loss today is all in vain, BUT IT WAS ANYTHING BUT “ALL IN VAIN”. Japan has been losing to France in straight set, and this is the first time in a long time that Japan took FRA in full set. It’s a “START”, but never “IN VAIN”.

tbh my mind was conditioned that Japan will lose in straight set today, not expecting them to win a set, let alone taking France into a full set. For this new era of Ryujin Nippon, this is truly historical! Good game, Japan! Congratulations, France 🎉🎉🎉

Ngapeth: “Ishikawa was my friend and teammate. I am happy to meet him again at this level.”
He also mentioned that Ishikawa and Nishida are two of the players to watch out for, and containing these two will be a key to their victory.

Ogawa: “He’s serious by heart, and honest… but he’s a brat.”
Ran: Oi!
Ishikawa the whole time: 😆🍉
