Netherlands coach Jamie Morrison designed to firm up the Dutch defence against Brazil, but he also credited the efforts of his passionate team. "I thought the coordination between our block and defence was very good and our defence was in good places in relation to where they were, and I just thought we wanted to get the ball up more than Brazil did. I think there’s a desire that comes with defence and I think we had it tonight. We were going after everything, so it goes back to heart a little bit," Morrison said. China remained on top of the table with a straight-sets victory (25-22, 25-16, 25-18) against Russia, giving the Asian side a full nine points. Captain Zhu Ting reported back for duty after skipping Sunday's match, picking up a total of 21 points. Zhang Changning added 17 more in the victory.

Karsta Lowe (22 points) and Michelle Bartsch-Hackley (19 points) comprised Karch Kiraly's primary offensive unit. Lucia Fresco led the Argentine side with 17 points, but Monday's breakthrough performance came via Bianca Farriol. The 17-year old middle blocker proved crucial in the third set, as she connected with timely blocks to help extend the match. Hosts Japan dropped to a 1-2 card after a 3-1 defeat (23-25, 25-19, 25-22, 27-25) to Korea, in the all-Asia derby that headlined as Yokohama Arena's main event on Monday. Korea started rather loosely, without completely establishing their intended tempo on court. They improved their rhythm, enabling captain Kim Yeon Koung and Lee Jaeyeong to work from the wings. Meanwhile, Japan played patiently, working on their classically-known brand of volleyball, which completely energised the crowd even more after the third set. What then seemed like the final whistle had everyone heading back on court with a successfully called challenge by Japan coach Kumi Nakada. A few plays further silenced the crowd, with Korea taking clear two points ahead to seal victory in four. Match day in Site A Yokohama started with a thrilling tie-break that went to Dominican Republic over Cameroon (25-17, 25-15, 23-25, 30-28, 15-10). The Norceca side managed a healthy advantage in the first two sets, before mishandling the momentum right before a spirited Cameroon squad. The African side fought back hard, utilising pretty good numbers in reception and digs, even with the heavy-handed attacks of their opponents. Cameroon forced the match to a tie-break after patiently enduring to overcome each match point. In the decider, the Dominicans reverted to their attack rhythm, utilising the 201-cm spiker Brayelin Martinez.

What did he tell us? Photo by fiba.basketball Serbia's national team returns today from China, where it finished fifth in the World Cup. If the final placement of our national team is not what we expected, when it comes to the performance of Bogdan Bogdanovic , he may have exceeded expectations. He is the best scorer of the championship, and with his games he managed to compete for a place in the ideal five championships, although Serbia was eliminated already in the quarterfinals. After all, Bogdan posted on Twitter this morning, with a message that has confused many: '' Maybe this is my fault ... this is just the beginning ... there is no excuse ''. Immediately messages began to arrive that we were all with him, that he was not guilty of anything, but Bogdan's message was actually the beginning of Michael Jordan's famous quote , which states below: '' Maybe I made you think it was easy when it wasn't. I might have made you think that my best moves began with flying from the penalty line, not the gym. I might have made you think that every shot I tried was for the win, that my game was based on the body, not the fire. Maybe it's my fault you didn't see that failures gave me strength, that pain was my motivation. Maybe I made you think that basketball is a gift from God, not something I've worked on every day of my life. Maybe I ruined this game too. And maybe ... Maybe you're just looking for excuses!

The Canadian press teaches Bianca Andreescu what to do in order not to lose all the money Photo: Hepta.ro At only 19 years old, Bianca Andreescu has managed to win more than 6 million dollars this year, following the evolutions from the tournaments in the circuit. In addition, the success of the US Open has made it an attraction for sponsors, so the athlete will ensure consistent new revenues. Against this backdrop, the Canadian edition of the Vice portal warns that Bianca could be swept away and lose money. As an argument is provided statistics that 80% of players in the NFL become bankrupt or have financial problems within 2 years of retirement. In addition, 60% of NBA players become bankrupt within 5 years of retirement. It is also recalled that one player in the NHL lost almost all the money because he trusted his parents. Thus, the journalists from Vice tried to give Biancai advice in order not to get into a similar situation. They called on Chris Moynes, the director of a company that manages the financial accounts of sportsmen and sportsmen. He said that Bianca should give up the money to take care of those from the company Octagon, which manages her career. "She needs a financial consultant on her part, not an agent whose role is to obtain contracts and do as many things as she wants to upload the invoices. There has always been a conflict of interest from this point of view." , Moynes explained. At the same time, Moynes advised Bianca not to start making major expenses because this year's success can only be short-term. He informed Biancai that they should create an annual budget and set aside 35% of the amount won. In addition, Bianca is also advised not to make major changes in her lifestyle and not to start making unjustified expenses. In closing, Moynes told Biancai that she should call her agent every time she wants to spend more than $ 10,000, to find out if it is justified or not.
