The player Han and Taek-eui Hwang, the setters of both teams, solved the first set by using the wing attackers rather than the center. Hwang Taek-eui threw to Viyena and Hwang Kyung-min, and Han threw to Lincoln, Jeong Ji-seok, and Kwak Seung-seok.

The attackers rewarded the setter’s faith by scoring. For Korean Air, Lincoln (6), Jung Ji-seok (4), Kwak Seung-seok (4) triangular formation jointly scored 14 points, and for KB Insurance, Viyena scored 7 points and Hwang Gyeong-min scored 3 points.

The two teams went side by side until the middle of the set, but the game was split by blocking. With Korean Air leading 14-12, Han and Jeong Ji-seok blocked Han Seong-jeong and Villena’s attacks in a row, widening the score gap. At 19-14, Cho Jae-young’s two consecutive blocks took the lead clearly.

Korean Air, who won a landslide victory in the altitude, took one set and was just one set away from winning the regular season.

-KB emergency damage insurance 2/2
-Korea Air fast attack 4/6

Korean Air player Han’s setter mainly used both wing attackers in the first set. KB’s insurance blockers also knew this, so they started prioritizing Lincoln, Jeong Ji-seok, and Kwak Seung-seok.

However, the Han player took advantage of this and showed skill in using the middle fast attack at the right time. In the first set, he attempted only two quick attacks, but in the second set, he attempted six quick attacks. Here, the success rate was high enough to succeed 4 times.

In the end, the KB Insurance blockers had no choice but to follow Korean Air’s quick action, and the Han player’s setter used this to create a comfortable position for the attackers.

Thanks to Han’s toss work, Korean Air continued to face the opponent blocker one-on-one, recording a 50% attack success rate (KB Insurance 36.36%), taking the second set and regularly securing the league championship.

5 attack points, 100% attack success rate.

Jeong Han-yong, who served as one-point server in the first and second sets, stepped onto the court as the starter in the third set. And immediately, he began to prove his worth.

He took an active part in receiving and defending, and showed a stable appearance, and also showed an excellent appearance in attack, which is his main job.

In particular, he was also praised by one player for taking responsibility for shaking one player’s setter and connecting on a goal.

Kwak Seung-seok was missing, but Jeong Han-yong filled the spot perfectly, and Korean Air perfectly celebrated their regular league victory by taking the 3rd set following the 1st and 2nd sets.
