Immédiatement après la mise en jeu du ballon, le joueur avance son pied arrière au même niveau que son autre pied. Toutefois, les pieds demeurent écartés. En même temps, il dirige vivement les paumes des mains vers la partie avant des épaules du bloqueur offensif. Au moment du contact, le corps, et les bras se détendent énergiquement. Après le contact, le mouvement de détente se continue en s'exerçant vers le haut. Ainsi, le joueur défensif déséquilibre son adversaire, car il en déplace le centre de gravité. 1, record 5, French, - pouss%C3%A9e%20des%20mains
