Miyaura was the only player to start every game in the preliminary round, and led the team in this tournament with a team-high 184 points. His powerful spikes and serves have saved Japan from trouble time and time again. In particular, his "banana serve," which curves sharply to the right at 120 km/h, is extremely difficult to counter even for the world's top receivers. We hope he continues to be an ace in the final round.
