What is Your Vertical Jump? 🤔🏐
-
How many ppl are here after watching haikyuu!!??? 😂
-
His Jumps, His blocks, serves, power. Not only that but the vision he has when spiking, making such extremely precise spikes is incredible.
-
He can jump high and spike hard without getting his hair destroyed. What a legend
-
Any fellow Haikyuu fans out here 🤙🤙
-
his hang time is unmatched. he generates so much force too
-
It’s always amazing how crazy hard he hits the ball! All that force just ripping and echoing off the floor!
-
Every time Nishida hits the ball and lands on the floor or onto someone, it just resembles lightning then thunder after. Crazyyyy! ⚡⚡⚡
-
The vertical jump, timing, accuracy and power.. amazing Nishida...
-
What can you say. He's just amazing. The jumps, his serves, his blocks and those kill them all spikes. He's at the high of his game. It reminds me of the great Mireya Luis from the Morenas Del Caribe Cuban Volleyball team from the late 80's and 90's. Before her I've never seen somebody spike a ball between the net and the 10 foot line. The way she jumped was and probably still is unmatched today by any women who plays the sport.

Nishida is literally Wakatoshi Ushijima. Bro has a huge serve, crazy powerful spikes, he's a lefty, and he looks kinda like Ushijima also.
-
Who else is here after watching Haikyuu!?
-
4:37 Respect to Nishida for that 72 mph spike
-
4:52 the sound of this, the force, it is astonishing, amazing, what a great performance.
-
Wow, not a volley ball person but this dude made me watch the highlight and has me wanting to see more! Amazing athleticism and skill! A pleasure to watch
-
Woww Japanese Monster! I don't remember to see someone jumping before 3'line like him and being so vertical. And japanese team plays togheter so tuned! Defense and atack >>>> ⚡⚡
-
石川がいるから西田が伸び伸び打てる。石川居なかったら徹底マークで封じ込まれてる。石川が天才すぎだ。今のメンバーで皆怪我なく長くプレーして欲しいな。
-
He jumps as high as mountain and hits like a monster truck. He's a beast.
-
Can we talk about 2:40 though? The amount of power he can generate without a full set up to the point he can reach such a high point of his jump and whip his arm around that fast that the other team can’t react is just insane
-
He is so good at every area. His serve, spike, jump, block. And even he is left handed, which make him even more better in the volleyball world!! (It’s like Ushijima in real life! Yes I’m haikyuu fan❤🏐
