Reporter Park Dae-ro = Professional volleyball men’s lower-ranking clubs are shaking the league game as they march on a winning streak at the end of the season.
Among the 7 men’s teams, the first to start a rebound after hovering in the lower ranks is KEPCO in 5th place.
KEPCO, which fell into a pit of 9 consecutive losses from December of last year to early last month, revived with 4 consecutive wins after escaping from the losing streak. KEPCO defeated Hyundai Capital, KB Insurance, Korean Air, and Hyundai Capital one after another. Although KB Insurance suffered a blow, KEPCO won a come-from-behind victory against Woori Card on the 12th.
KEPCO, which collapsed at the last minute due to a lack of support even after a full-set close match, regained its power after regaining confidence that it could win. Foreign players Thais, Seo Jae-deok and Lim Seong-jin recovered their offensive power, and setter Ha Seung-woo’s toss also found stability. Shin Young-seok is boosting team morale with blocking.
KB Insurance, which is ranked 6th in the league, has also changed. KB Insurance, which had been unable to get out of the bottom ranks even after bringing in Viyena instead of Nicola, a foreign player, beat Woori Card and OK Financial Group from the end of last month, and even suppressed KEPCO, which was showing off an upward trend.
Viyena is exploding her potential by raising her score close to 50 points. In addition, side strikers such as Hwang Kyung-min and Han Seong-jeong are also steadily active. Middle blockers Park Jin-Woo and Kim Hong-Jung play solidly and hold up in the center.
The rebound of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance in 7th place, the lowest in the league, is even more dramatic. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which once fell into a seven-game losing streak in December of last year, stayed at the bottom all the time and is currently on a four-game winning streak.
Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which fell into a four-game losing streak, beat Woori Card on the 25th of last month, and then defeated Woori Card again on the 3rd of this month, followed by Korean Air and OK Financial in turn. 바카라사이트
It has been 4 years and 2 months since November 2018 that Samsung Fire & Marine has won 4 consecutive wins. After falling to the bottom of the regular league in the 2020-2021 season, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance only ranked 6th in the 2021-2022 season, and this season also hovered at the bottom. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance is finally showing signs of a rebound.
Foreign player Ikbairi is showing off his destructive power in karate and defense, and outside hitter Kim Jeong-ho, who has regained his confidence, is taking a breather at every juncture with confident attacks. Libero Lee Sang-wook, who ranks first in the defense category, is making a divine dig in every game. Setter Lee Ho-gun’s toss found stability, and the center line supported by middle blockers Ha Hyun-yong and Kim Jun-woo also became solid.
As the season nears its end, the league game is expected to be greatly shaken as the lower-tier teams go on a winning streak. Beyond sprinkling red pepper powder on the top teams, they are even showing a desire to enter the 4th place, which allows them to advance to the semi-playoffs. It is expected that the attention of volleyball fans will be focused on the professional volleyball men’s division at the end of the league.
