With the kenyan women's volleyball team's second pass and the attacker's attacking pass coordination error, the Japanese women's volleyball team won the third set with difficulty 25-23, thus defeating the champion team from Africa, the Kenya women's volleyball team, 3-0 to get a good start. The scores in the three sets were 25-15, 25-11 and 25-23, and the technical statistics after the game, the Japanese women's volleyball team's main attacker Masayuki Ishikawa and receiving Kuro Houai scored a team-high 13 points, and Koga Sarina also scored 10 points. Kenya's Kiprono scored a game-high 18 points. The two sides scored equally in the net, the Japanese women's volleyball team led the opponent 2-0 in the serve, and the Kenya women's volleyball team attacked 33-41 and fell behind by 8 points without winning.
Despite winning the opening against the opponents in the same group, the players and coaches of the Japanese women's volleyball team were not happy, and the absolute core attacker of the team, Koga Sarina, was accidentally injured and carried off the field during the game, almost dominating the trend of the third game. Fortunately, the veteran Yuki Ishii and the substitute second pass Tamyo Kanami scored through attack and serve to help the team stop the decline, and finally the Japanese women's volleyball team won the game without suspense. After the game, the post-00s young player Makoto Ishikawa had a serious look, invisibly adding great pressure to himself.
Koga Sare is the absolute core attacker of this Japanese women's volleyball team, and it is also the core of the team's support at both ends of the attack and defense. The reason why he was injured was because in the third set of the game, the two sides fought to a 10-10 draw, Koga Sarina fell to the ground in pain during the fall of the fourth position attack, and the live signal of the game did not give a clear replay, whether it was stepping on the feet of the Kenyan net-blocking team members or falling down because he did not stand firmly. But one thing is clear, Koga Sarina's expression was painful after he fell to the ground, and the assistant coach directly picked up Koga Sarina and went straight to the hospital for examination, which is why when the team members took a group photo to celebrate after the game, they did not see Koga Sarina's shadow.
Koga Sarina's injury needs to be further examined, at least it is certain that in the second game against the strongest Serbian women's volleyball team in the same group, Koga Sarina will have a hard time returning to the field. In the women's volleyball world league that ended earlier, Koga Sarina was in a hot state, with a pass rate at the top of the list, and the attack was also the team's most stable scoring point.
Because of Koga Sarina's steady play, head coach Kume Nakata changed kuro-ho, who had originally played the main attack, to the receiving position, and the veteran Yuki Ishii became the double substitute for the main attack and the receiving position. Not only that, the 12-man list of the Olympic Games, Nakata Kumi would rather take more Okumura Mayi, Yamada 2,000, Haruo Shimamura and Araki Erika four sub-attackers, only with a substitute serve of Lin Chenna, veteran Ishii Yuki will return to the main position after 2 years, long-lost Ishii Yuki in the face of Kenya's blocking performance is not outstanding, so the team's offensive burden falls on the post-00 main attack Ishikawa Masayuki.
Once Koga Sarina can not return to the field, then the Next game of the Japanese women's volleyball team is very difficult, at least the match with the Korean women's volleyball team dare not say that it can be won steadily. In the face of the main players injured and unable to play, the South Korean women's volleyball team rekindled the hope of promotion after the departure of the twin sisters, as for the Japanese women's volleyball team, it needs to be prepared for difficulties.
