KB Insurance’s ‘Place and Hit’ volleyball played again in the first game of the new season. After making a comeback to the V-League after 5 years, KB Insurance manager In-jeong reported victory in the debut match against his former team.
KB Insurance won the set score 3-2 (25-22 23-25 23-25 25-23 15-11) in the first round home match against Hyundai Capital in the men’s division of the ‘Dodram 2021-2022 V League’ held at Uijeongbu Gymnasium on the 20th. earned Foreign player Keita scored 43 points (63% attack success rate, 3 sub-aces), including 9 attacking points in only 5 sets.
KB Insurance’s game plan was clear. We tried to make the match into an open attack confrontation with a strong serve.
We judged that last season’s top scorer Keita’s high-altitude blow was more competitive than Hyundai Capital, which had no foreign players. On the other hand, Hyundai Capital used strategic serve. It was intended to reduce unnecessary crime.
One set KB Insurance’s plan worked. He took the lead with four sub-aces. There were only three sub-beom rooms. Keita lit up the plan with 7 offensive runs and 2 sub-aces.
The plan was twisted as the 2nd set KB Insurance’s sub-criminal room soared to 8. Setter Hwang Taek-ui often chose Hong Sang-hyeok from 22-22, but failed. Hwang Taek-ui’s distribution volleyball effort to lower Keita’s attack share continued in the 3rd set, but Hyundai Capital took the lead by blocking the first three. KB Insurance drove the attack to Keita in 15-21 and Kim Ji-seung’s serve worked well, making the tie for six consecutive runs. Hyundai Capital resisted the pursuit of KB Insurance as Subong Heo succeeded in three clutch attacks and even came out to Keita’s attack room.
KB Insurance took the lead from the beginning of the 4th set as Hwang Taek-ui increased his dependence on Keita, and Hong Sang-hyeok broke through 20 points and drove the match into 5 sets.
In Hyundai Capital, which held OK Savings Bank on the 17th with only native players, Subong Huo gave more than his share with 34 points (68% attack success rate, 1 sub-ace), but Seongmin Moon, who could not recover his stamina after three days of play, scored 6 points. Unfortunately, he lost
