On Nov. 26, Heungkuk Life suffered a shocking defeat that the women’s volleyball team doesn’t want to relive.
After taking a 2-0 lead in the set, the team led 21-18 in the third set, but only scored one point while their opponent scored seven, and lost the set.
They went on to lose the fourth and fifth sets in straight sets. It was a “reverse sweep,” winning two sets and losing the third, and their first loss of the season.
This match strengthened the ‘No. 1 favorite’ Heungkuk Sinsung.
Against GS Caltex, a team with an undefeated record, they swept the visiting team 3-0 at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 31st.
The game was as flawless as the victory.
Yelena Mrazenovic (real name Yelena) scored 19 points and Yeon-kyung Kim 18 as the duo combined for 37 points, with only three errors committed by both players.
Yelena had two and Kim had one.
Their efficient volleyball is even more impressive when compared to GS Caltex main hitter Giselle Silva (real name Silva), who had 12 unforced errors to go with her 19 points.
After the match, Heungkuk Life coach Marcello Abondanza said, “There was only one attacking error (among the errors). It’s a great number,” he said, noting that “setter Lee Won-jung had a good toss and the attackers chose a good way to attack.”
Kim said that losing the last match in Jeonggwanjang actually became a “medicine” for the team.
“We missed a game that we won, and we reflected a lot, and we thought about what didn’t go well,” Kim said. “If you lose your concentration, the opponent’s counterattack starts from there, and if you keep that in mind, I think GS Caltex can definitely win.”
On the day, 안전카지노사이트 Heungkuk Sinsung had only 11 team errors, half of GS Caltex’s 22.
There were no errors after the 20th point, indicating that the team remained focused.
The team attack success rate was 52.22% for Heungkuk Life and 42.48% for GS Caltex.
Kim Yeon-kyung said, “If you get a good ball from the setter, you have a better chance of hitting a good ball. Good reception also has an impact (on reducing attack errors). At the end of the day, volleyball is a team sport, and we need to help each other and create a situation where everyone can do well.”
Setting the tone on the court, Kim hugged her teammates one by one as Heungkuk Life overcame a shocking defeat.
In the first set, she hugged Do Su-bin, who clinched the set with a celestial dig, and in the second set, she almost collapsed in a hug with Reina Tokoku (real name Reina) after she blocked Silva’s attack to end a deuce tiebreak.
“I felt so good that I tried to hug her, but I fell because I was heavy,” Kim said, adding, “I thought (Reina) was strong, but I don’t think I should have hugged her. I realized that on this occasion,” she laughed. 온라인카지노
