The fierce battle for first place in the professional volleyball women’s division is expected to continue this week.
As of February 13, Hyundai Engineering & Construction (21 wins, 6 losses, 61 points) and Heungkuk Life Insurance (20 wins, 7 losses, 60 points) are fighting with a difference of one point.
Hyundai E&C built a leading system by winning 15 consecutive wins in the opening season. However, foreign player Yasmin continued to miss due to a back injury in mid-December last year, allowing Heungkuk Life Insurance to pursue.
To make matters worse, Libero Kim Yeon-gyeon recently suffered an ankle injury and is unable to play. Hwang Min-kyung토토사이트, an outside hitter, also has a bad back.
Hyundai E&C hurriedly recruited Montaño, who is playing in the Turkish league, as a substitute to strengthen its strength.
However, Hyundai E&C was caught by the lowest-ranking Pepper Savings Bank on the 10th. Montaño only scored 13 points in the game he came out to adapt to the V-League, and his attack success rate was only 37.5%.
Now, Hyundai E&C needs to concentrate on every game.
On the 14th, Hyundai E&C will escape from a losing streak against Korea Expressway Corporation at the home court, Suwon Gymnasium. It is time for the propaganda of Montaño and Yang Hyo-jin, the center of his team. If Hyundai E&C cannot change the atmosphere, it may be difficult to win first place.
Road construction is not an easy opponent. Highway Corporation has a strong offensive power, and has defeated Hyundai E&C in the 4th round confrontation.
On the 17th, Hyundai E&C will face off against KGC Ginseng Corporation, led by Elisabeth, the best foreign player in the league.
The atmosphere of Heungkuk Life Insurance, which is about to leap to No. 1, is good.
Heungkuk Life Insurance could have risen to first place if it had won the match against IBK Industrial Bank on the 11th. However, I was unable to stop IBK Santana and Pyo Seung-joo and knelt down. They blew away their chance to rise to No. 1.
However, Heungkuk Life Insurance has an opportunity. Nine games remain this season, and a head-to-head match against Hyundai E&C is scheduled.
Heungkuk Life Insurance reorganizes its battle lines, led by Yelena and Kim Yeon-kyung.
Heungkuk Life Insurance will face Pepper Savings Bank on the 15th and GS Caltex on the 19th.
Pepper Savings Bank is on the rise, showing its strong potential in the Hyundai E&C exhibition. The key to Heungkuk Life Insurance is to block Nia Reid, a foreign player at Pepper Savings Bank.
GS Caltex harassed Heungkuk Life Insurance the most this season. They had a full set match three times, and recorded 2 wins and 2 losses in the opponent match.
