He's at his best when he's trying to find those high hands, and he's just swinging high
and deep.
Omen again picking up the cuttie.
Now it's Omen's second opportunity in system transition, and Hennato's there.
And Helvig's first block of the match will tie it up.
Streaky, streaky match we have.
You would be wrong.
Defense showing its might for both teams.
Hennato right now in a deep and dark hole offensively.
And he's going to stay there.
What a pickup from Omen.
Another pickup from Omen.
And Omen puts it away in transition, making six in a row.
Omen all over.
Helvig wisely taken onto his decision making is so sound.
All those option opportunities.
The execution is what.
Speaking out of system setting.
That is juice from Hennato, but a big block from Johnny Helvig.
Everything is at stake here because you never know quite what might happen in that deciding match in the pool.
A win here will guarantee that they've got two wins and will definitely break Paul.
If you lose and Austria do get the win over Brazil, then you could end up in a bit of a number.
Omen predatory in the backcourt, but it's Helvig who intercepts.
That little pop float trying to hit the middle, but Brill takes it, this time kicking out on the front.
But it's Helvig yet again at the net with the intercept.
Nice use of the block to get the recovery, but it's Helvig yet again who just hangs with Brill.
5-3 to Sweden.
Good touch.
Push out to a three point lead.
Another great touch from Helvig at the net.
And again, just flying all over the place.
Good defense.
Gutierrez.
He's got a chance.
Oh, and he just gets stopped again.
Jonathan Helvig made about four blocks or four touches on the blocks.
Monster block right back at the feet of Teorita.
Any extra sets to get them.
So his blocks per set remarkably high.
This time flipping to Helvig after they got the block on Omen.
Or it kicks out, opens up an angle, but there is Helvig as well.
Happening there between the two Dutch players.
I think they're just communicating on set location and tempo.
A little higher than I think what York usually likes.
This time Omen just cruises into the dig.
Oh, and the cross body, no look.
Omen was given it.
It's a long way off.
Ready to pounce.
Can he keep up with Sweden's offense?
Not this time, said Omen.
Really fast swing on the angle.
Having a little bit of a malfunction, but I do believe it's five serving three.
Yeah, it's called up now.
And there is Helvig.
A little too tight.
A little too much in his wheelhouse.
And the redirect is the thing that is so effective.
What did the Netherlands do that perhaps Qatar can bring to this match?
Well, Steven van de Velde did a lot of that.
Steven van de Velde blocked them five times in that opening set,
and that just changed.
No better blocker able to defend that fast system than Helvig.
And when you go up and down and he knows where you're coming from,
then he can close you down quick.
Back to back blocks for Jonathan Helvig
as the merciless, relentless pressure continues.
For the receivers.
And there is Helvig.
Shekio was struggling.
He went up with a wide block.
He couldn't quite figure out where they were going to attack through,
and then mid-flight he locates the ball.
Fake the play.
And Helvig gets the block.
Crowd is silenced again, but the crowd are then wrapped up by the local emcee.
Go, go, go.
6-7.
David Oman will be the next striker.
Go, go, go.
David Oman is coming up.
