This is exactly where he doesn't want to be.
Indra saves the set point.
Great set.
Free swing.
Great way to save the set.
With her first set point of the match.
Good pass.
Yao Chen.
Will he be turned away?
Oh, was that Patrick Vieira?
If it is, that's his third straight win.
Check.
He was so psyched about it.
He's aging alongside him.
Tao Xue.
Bartunek.
Goes to Indra.
Yes.
Patrick Indra.
Three points now for Indra.
Monkey doesn't find the floor.
Great point chance here.
Indra.
He finds the floor.
That's some swing from him.
That is a tremendous set from Honig.
Indra has been on fire and responded.
Yousef.
Good pass.
This should be sided out.
And it is.
Indra.
A little less attention from the block this time.
Yousef.
Honig with the first touch.
Out wide.
Big block.
But what a touch by Honig.
And the swing is down from Indra.
Incredible.
He'd take an ace, that's for sure.
And gets one.
Yeah, indeed he does.
Indra.
In the corner.
And he's found his range.
Cornell receives well.
Leon.
Up off the hands.
Good chance.
Indra.
One.
He likes it out there.
Absolutely.
Indra has been good.
The Poland have gotten in front of him.
Gotten some stuff.
Some critical.
Monster block.
Kozimiernik shuts down that attempt from Groza.
Big time.
Into the front row.
Bit of blocking for Bulgaria.
But he's not going to get anywhere near that.
As Jan Kozimiernik shows why he's a world class middle.
Yeah.
An umbrella made of rock.
Break up.
I mean, it is just a wall up there.
Before the match, Ethan Champion has been talking to them.
So, I mean, they've been working the crowd very smart.
Huge unload by Kozimiernik to change the conversation.
Good answer.
Just to get the giggle out of you.
Set two underway.
That's good work.
That might just be a little too easy, though.
Indeed it is.
Because Kozimiernik puts a dent in the floor.
That's a tough position for Groza.
Because he's not able to...
He gets underneath that ball.
With the serve.
Setters out now.
Jump set into the middle.
Kozimiernik comes up.
27-year-old.
With the serve.
Goes down the line.
Short to...
Kozimiernik.
Plays well for the game.
But not in my house.
I mean, we were talking about him before.
Could receive.
Coming from Reuers.
Goes down off.
Got across.
Atanasoff with a nice serve.
Birkner.
And a nice block by Grostano.
24-20.
Indra.
Oh, what a pick up by Monik.
But a free ball.
And a swing to go.
One set up in the semifinal.
He's absolutely smashed the smithereens.
What he's trying to do is what sets him apart at that skill.
Side check up off the net.
Oh, Grostano.
Had a few.
To create so much offense at this level.
You've got the talent around you to convert good choices with precision.
Oh, what a block.
Now then.
What do we have here?
With the little top spinner.
Kolev gets in there.
Well played.
Super quick to Grostano, but he does the rest.
Speed with which they are running that money to Grostano.
Good serve.
But what a lovely pass.
And it is sent to Bankstown from Grostano.
And it's set point now for Bulgaria.
Steady canning.
Furious.
Preslav Petkov with the service.
Oh.
Grostano.
Two.
Mijanovic again.
Blazo.
Can they convert?
Meddling off of Blazo.
Superhuman dig.
That is a phenomenal defense.
Not just to make the touch, but to bring the ball back to the middle of the court
and reduce the amount of time that Slovenia has to get set for the next action.
Bad serve.
Goop's free ball now.
Three front row attackers.
One back row attack for Bulgaria.
And that's so well done by Russo.
This is what Bulgaria have been doing throughout this tour.
That shoot ball.
And Russo just got on it brilliantly.
Yeah.
I mean, that is tremendous layup.
Huge serve.
But Blazo's put it on a plate.
The spare to leave.
And they're able to run the middle.
That's how good a pass it was.
It's a good serve.
Regas is chasing that one.
This has got to go over.
He's not going to finish it, is he?
Oh.
What a hit by Durow.
But it hasn't gone down.
And instead, it's a big hit and a big point for Micheleto.
Because they lead by two.
Well played, Blazo.
That was not easy.
The footwork was incredible.
That's back-to-back receptions now.
But he's been able to stay with the ball.
It takes a forward direction change off the top of the net.
Romano.
Argentina's spot of bother here.
Oh, Belaso.
That was some hit from Vicente.
That was even better.
Belaso's just taken four players out of the game.
Faces.
36 attacks compared to 21.
1 and 1.
Oh, look at that.
Over the net.
Off a terrific combination play put together by Moni Nikolov.
That's a blocker's nightmare.
You've got two from court coming.
Decent serve.
Oh, come on.
Moni.
Just as.
Yeah, there you go.
I've got it.
Yeah, helping out Big Bro on this pass right here.
Just a little bit tight.
Good pass by Kolev.
Combination play.
Nikolov down the line.
Top corner.
Made a pop, but it hit the ground, didn't it?
Not a chance.
Bulgaria.
Magnificent play from Moni.
Yeah, there was one a few.
Big leagues in the world where they're going to develop and learn the skills.
He does get them together as a coach.
That is smart.
That is super smart.
How often do you see a punch?
There's a punch.
A punch off the block.
It's kind of a thing.
Oh, he's got it.
On this ball.
This is an absolute.
Oh, that was a cracking serve.
A save.
Moni.
Magnificent.
Absolute magic.
Garcia.
Oh, well done, Christensen.
But he just couldn't get control of it.
Oh, my goodness.
Moni.
Bulgaria lead by two.
The only thing that can stop Alex Nikolov from getting all 15 points is this right here, his baby brother.
