Toshiki's comment
The match was the same as the first match of the French Cup the other day, and just like last time, we won in straight sets.
Although the second set was only a two-point difference, we were in the lead most of the time, so it was easy to watch.
Conde was awarded the MVP. He joined the team midway through the season, but he has finally established himself in the starting lineup.
Although he didn't have many hits and only scored 10 points, his high attack effectiveness and stable serve receiving ability were impressive. In particular, the outside hitter's serve receiving ability has been an issue for Paris Volleyball this season, so Conde solved that issue well.
To be honest, I would have liked to see Kai step in, but he still has some issues to work on defensively, so it will be difficult.
No, I really want you to do your best though.
Miyaura had the most points and two service aces, but he lost six points on attack and his attack effectiveness rate was less than 301 TP3T, so it seems that he personally has some issues with the match.
Well, that's still impressive, but I hope they can aim for even better numbers.
I plan on covering the next match against Montpellier and the French Cup match against Tours, so I hope to see the two Japanese players perform well and put in a good game.
