“We won four times.”
Pepper Savings Bank won by a score of 3-2 (23-25, 25-15, 18-25, 25-17, 15-12).
Pepper Savings Bank was rammed by Nia Reed. He scored 32 points, including 8 blocks, and the outside hitter duo Lee Han-bi and Park Kyung-hyun scored 22 and 14 points side by side. He stayed focused until the end and won.
There is also the effect of the early suspension due to Corona 19 last season, but it is Pepper Savings Bank, which stayed in 3 wins in the season. This season was different. It was the fourth win of the season by winning the game that day.
Interim coach Lee Kyung-soo, whom we met after the game, showed a smile he couldn’t hide, saying, “We won 4 games.” “We added one win to last year’s three wins. The players did not lose their concentration until the end and it was a good game. He exploded well in both wings, so I was able to go easily.”
In the previous match, against Heungkuk Life Insurance, Nia Reid’s lonely struggle continued, but this day was different. Both wings managed to pierce the attack and secure victory.
Regarding this, “The reception line has stabilized. As a result, the throwing went well to some extent. It seems the players are having a hard time at Incheon Stadium,” he tilted his head.
Pepper Savings Bank received many evaluations that he lacked concentration after 20 points even in the early and middle of the season. Nevertheless, on this day, even though they lost the first set, they showed fierce pursuit after 20 points, and maintained this atmosphere until the second set. In addition, he did not let go of his concentration and reached victory.
Lee, acting, said, “The players have a desire to win. I think there is a next thing to overcome. I think I didn’t give up and dragged on. As the strikers, (Lee) Go-eun and (O) Ji-young also talk a lot. I’m doing it right,” he said, pointing out the secret to getting stronger.
Meanwhile, for Korea Expressway Corporation, Park Jeong-ah scored 24 points including 1 blocking point, and Catherine Bell (registered name Catbell) posted 21 points including 2 blocking points, but lost. The room that came out the minute I had to hit it up was painful to the bone.
Manager Kim Jong-min said, “It was difficult to defend against the opponent’s attack. The success rate of the opponent’s attack was high. Our serve was weak, so the opponent made the set play easier.”
On this day, Catbell scored 21 points and had an attack success rate of 33.33%. He was rarely excited. A bright atmosphere was not unique to Catbell. Director Kim said, “It was difficult because he was not penetrated by the attack. We have to find a way to overcome this, but it is difficult.”
Regarding Park Jung-ah, the top scorer in the team, “(Park) Jung-ah has risen to a degree, and he has to. Every game ahead is a turning point. I hope the players will give a little more strength,” he urged.
The atmosphere of the winning sets 1 and 3 and the losing sets of the 2nd, 4th and 5th set were different, but very different. About this, “Rather than a special reason, I was able to get comfortable if the opponent’s reception was shaken. However, the opposition’s reception was fixed, set-up play came out, and our defense was insufficient.”
