right, he could've sped up so many balls

Yeah but those could’ve been bait balls. The thing about Andre is he’s so tall that he can afford to play like a foot off the kitchen line and on top of that, most of those attackable dinks you can see that he takes another step or two back so he’s playing off like 3 feet from the kitchen just ready to counter the next ball.

@@adamheath4599 thats true

​@@adamheath4599 True, but if you never speed up, then the opponent never has to worry or feel pressured. You have to mix it up at least a little bit.

​@adamheath4599 ain't no way you just said a "bait ball". He's leaving his dinks at head level..... on purpose?? 😂😂 come on man lmao

That’s complete BS. That was like a full second after the volley, and he clearly had control of his balance, and stepped in to dink the ball, if it toppled over the net.

He had both feet planted after his first two backhand volleys. And it clearly wasn’t momentum from those previous shots that put him in the kitchen. Rather, after those two backhand volley rolls he did, you can see his feet both firmly plant behind kitchen, and then he intentionally steps in the kitchen anticipating Collin John’s hit to go in just over the net, but it didn’t. You have to realize you can step in the kitchen at any time in the game…you just can’t volley the ball out of the air once in there, nor have momentum carry you into the kitchen from a volley outside the kitchen. Neither of those scenarios happened. Slow the video down to 0.25x if you need to see what I’m talking about

Looking closely in slow motion I don't see a fault (i.e. violation of rule 9.B.1). Daescu doesn't step into the kitchen on either his swing, the follow-through, or his momentum from his volley action. His momentum had stopped and he steps into the kitchen after CJ's return of his volley goes into the net.

@VividTape zero fault. Zero question of a fault. He established out, and there’s no momentum taking him in. He’s absolutely free to step in again.
