I'm currently in a rather retarded debate with a co-worker. When asked the question if me and a friend could score a few points against Misty May and Kerry Walsh, I said yeah, I think me and an athletic friend could probably get a few points pass them. He thinks I'm delusional and we would not be able to score anything. So what say you? Do you think 2 slightly above average athletic males with no real volleyball background could score a few points against May and Walsh? I'm not talking about beating them, just a few points, like 5 maybe? Or would we get skunked?
Absolutely. I've always said that if I played in an NBA game, I could score 6-8 points (not per game, just in A game) just by being smart, running the floor, finding open spots and making open shots. I think if you were patient enough you could score a few points against the Olympians.
I think we would need to know more about your team mate. Is he “slight” like you? Or would he carry you? I don’t think there is enough info to make an educated guess. I suppose even a blind squirrel finds a nut and knowing you cant beat them they might let their guard down and not care if you score a pity point or two. My guess is two unskilled guys taking on trained Olympians will get their arse’s handed to them. Sent by rotary dial talk via my 1972 fax machine
I would say 3-5. It's not going to be many. I think the Italian's only scored 12 in the second game against them, so you could get at least 3.
I'm 6'2". I"m not slight. I suck at passing and setting, so my teammate would need to be capable of setting me up, but I'm confident I might be able to sneak a couple kills past them.
No I don't think you'd score squat, one point would surprise me. Not saying you guys aren't athletic but having no real volleyball background against two volleyball olympians who have played together forever = you guys getting destroyed. I would definitely watch though.
Oh I know we would get destroyed. But I like to think that we might get lucky and get a few sets so I could get a kill or 2. I'm the same height at Walsh, and I imagine I can jump higher, and stronger.
2 person Volleyball is all about the serve and position ... I don't think you guys could return theirs and I think they would easily return yours .... but I would watch with NEW .... he is buying the popcorn tho....
If you have almost no skill at volleyball you're only hope for scoring ANY points at all are an unforced error by the olympians on a serve or getting lucky on a block. And just serve as hard as you possibly can the one time you might have possession and hope for a miracle. Most likely it would be 20 or 21 straight shanks into the crowd or whiffs on their serves. At best I'd say 1 point POSSIBLE but unlikely on a block if you somehow find a way to make a first pass and return the ball over the net ......and maybe one if they flub a jump serve or something. You're not scoring on them any other way without divine intervention, and if you get out of position one of them could probably take your head off with a kill.
I think the key phrase is "with no real volleyball background". Athleticism can only get you so far, and I don't know if that's far enough to get 5 points. maybe 1-2. (not counting unforced errors by them).
The only way you are winning points is by their mistakes. Not by your skill. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
