Feel uninvited, but not excited.
A way to play the bay while you're alone.
She loves me, yeah, she needs to know I love her.
I wonder if we'll make it through this summer.
Just wanna touch like back when we were younger.
Let's serve, let's serve.
Service reception, what can they do with it?
They'll get another bite.
They'll send it far side where Kang lies in wait.
She can't find a winner.
So Chanchou and Moxri denied, but not denied.
Big Li Dayong says I'll have that.
Thank you very much.
Well, this is where you want your setter and those strong wrists.
To use those wrists.
Really good setting again at full stretch.
Li Dayong.
Somehow manages to lay it up beautifully for Park Yujin.
That was really well played by Li Dayong.
Let's see if it's going to be an easy block for the Netherlands.
All the way over the top.
With Kim scoring for Van.
Two of the players.
Lee Juah showing how it's done as well with the slide behind for Korea.
Looks like she's going to go middle.
Fake there.
All the way outside and it's going to cost one of these teams victory.
Top scorer at position E from Japan, 9.
Koga, 5.
That's the difference right here is that Korea have two players who can really put the ball on the floor.
Korea have just come alive here this evening.
They know this is a big game for them against a rival that they very rarely beat.
Kim Yong-kun.
What are we watching?
Great shots of the crowd.
Watching a national treasure.
Just bringing it past his two tight problems.
There's no lift this time.
Well watched by Li Dayong.
Set three, underway.
Service straight to one, has to go to four.
You can see it's so early there's no other option.
Sato who's in from the start this time.
Koga blocked.
What are we watching?
It's just...
Monster block.
Followed by super spike from Korea all the time.
Dominant.
Li Dayong.
Well played by Korea.
Brought herself a free swing because the blocker jumped early with the setter.
It's gone down as a super spike.
In here for Bulgaria.
Again those high serves into the shoulders of the Korean serve-receive unit causing issues.
Askova doesn't get the ball on the floor.
And neither does Kang Seo-in.
That's an excellent piece of defence by Shasheva.
Better chance now maybe for Korea.
Good covering by Oh Ji-young.
Askova tried to bury it but is trying to hit that so steep.
It's right into the hands of the waiting Li Dayong.
Lee's serve is a good one.
That's the perfect start to this second set.
Oh it's come back with interest again.
This time Li Dayong shutting down Dimitrova.
Oh what a good serve that was.
It looked like it was coming down.
It almost went up again and completely caught.
Serbia though having woken up.
Good control.
Bulgaria have just made two good digs now in this set.
Oh but that is an absolute spectacular dig.
From Li Dayong.
And again.
And it's the great blocking of Serbia that takes the point.
That was an excellent rally.
And two emphatic digs from Li Dayong.
Very much a starting outside player in this team.
Fighting with Ishii and Serena Koga.
Chipping away.
Japan just can't find the floor.
Ball disappears into the stand.
No. Koga manages to get there and get it done.
Second opportunity. Slide attack.
Just showing off now Korea.
Width on the back set.
First time.
Dig from Kurogo almost into the stand.
But this slide attack, drifting block, snap back.
They know exactly what they're doing here.
Passing slightly straight.
Once again Dayong doing a phenomenal job at just spreading that play.
Off their two up. Having a scurry around here.
Back to the opposite.
Sorry to the outside.
Koga hits off the body this time.
And the wing spiker.
Two up in the block again.
Trying to wipe off the hands.
Good discipline from Japan.
Third time lucky out there. Absolutely not.
Koga for the second time.
It's another mega rally surely.
Pot the libero doing a tremendous job.
Yamagishi.
Something has to give here.
Not yet. Still no.
Both teams refuse to be defeated here in Korea.
The hosts through the pipe.
And not for the first time.
And probably not the last.
Kim Yong-kun has the last laugh.
Makes it very hard to get the hands in front of you.
Close to the opposite.
Kim Ki-jin points up.
A team that's based around Kim Yong-kun.
Points for this game.
Kim out of system.
Goes to the right side.
Tipping around the block.
The Dominican Republic block up there.
The right side.
Gonzalez is so square on.
And then the blocking work from Martinez.
Martinez.
Martinez squared.
You can see that they're tipping around.
Especially when the ball's out of system.
May well have been going out.
But Lazarenko obviously took the decision.
She couldn't actually get out of the way of it.
So they tried to play it.
Can't get out of the way.
Going to have to play.
