Men’s professional volleyball KEPCO revealed its hopes for spring volleyball.
KEPCO won a set score 3-1 (25-18, 20-25, 25-20, 25-21) in the OK Financial Group match in the 6th round of the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League men’s division held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 12th.
The reliable performance of Thais (27 points) continued on this day. Lim Seong-jin (12 points) and Shin Young-seok (10 points, 6 blocks) supported the back. OK Financial Group struggled alone with Leo (28 points), but failed to turn the game around.
With this victory, KEPCO recorded 17 wins and 18 losses (53 points), narrowing the gap with 3rd place Woori Card (55 points) by 2 points, taking a step closer to spring volleyball for the second consecutive season.
If the difference between 3rd and 4th place is less than 3 points, a semi-playoff will be held at the home stadium of the 3rd place team. Woori Card has the last game of the regular season against Korean Air and Korea Electric Power Insurance against KB Insurance. For KEPCO, depending on the win or loss of the last game, it is now possible to aim for a dramatic 3rd place reversal.
On the other hand, OK Financial Group, whose spring volleyball was frustrated, fell into a swamp of 5 consecutive losses.
In the first set, Thais stormed the opponent’s court, scoring 5 points and recording an attack success rate of 66.7%. Cho Geun-ho and Shin Young-seok caught 2 blocks each and blocked OK Financial Group’s attack. 메이저사이트
KEPCO faced a counterattack from OK Financial Group with Leo at the fore in the second set. Leo shook the KEPCO defense with an overwhelming high-altitude strike, including two sub-aces, and turned the game to the starting point.
However, KEPCO took advantage by winning the 3rd set by tying Thais’ onslaught (9 points) and the opponent’s mistakes. Even in the 4th set, he struggled with Leo’s explosive attack power (10 points in 4 sets), but at the end of the set, Tais’ consecutive goals and Seo Jae-deok’s sub-ace seized the victory. Then, the game was finished with a decisive blocking by Shin Young-seok, the ‘Volleyball President’.
