3rd place until the 2nd round
GS Caltex, a professional volleyball women's team, won the last game of the second round and faced the third round in a good mood.
GS Caltex won a set score of 3-1 19-25 25-19 25-22 25-20 against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea in the final game of the second round of the 2023-2024 Dodram V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 29th. He struggled in the first set due to the blocking of the Industrial Bank of Korea, but he immediately recovered his performance and won all the rest of the sets.
After the game, GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun evaluated, "The balance was not bad even in the first set." "I was worried about my balance because it was a physically difficult time, but it wasn't bad," manager Cha said, looking back on the game. "I thought that if I maintain my balance as I am now after the first set, I will definitely go over the flow."
Strikers Gisele Silva registered name Silva, 191cm and Kang So-hwi 180cm, who should give up points in the first set, scored only five points in total. However, in the second, third, and fourth sets, he recovered his performance like a lie and won 35 points and 17 points, respectively, to collaborate on the victory.
Another concern for Cha is the setter position. Coach Cha, who has recently alternately used Kim Ji-won 173cm, the national setter, and rookie Lee Yoon-shin 171cm, put Lee Yoon-shin instead of Kim Ji-won in the early hours of the day.
Coach Cha said, "If Kim Ji-won is shaken, he needs time to catch his breath. If the setter's position is shaken, the team as a whole will not have time to take a breath, he said. "I was thinking of changing it in the middle with Lee Yoon-shin at any time." "Lee Yoon-shin will also grow through this process, and Kim Ji-won will also have a burden, but he will grow through this experience," he encouraged.
With this victory, GS recorded 8 wins and 4 losses 22 points overall for the season, igniting the high-ranking competition once again. Coach Cha said, "There is a difference of about six points from the fourth place. "I think the players are doing well," he said. "Because the players are holding out well, they are in third place. "I'm proud of it even in the tough process," he said in a full review of the second round. 메이저 토토사이트
GS Caltex's first opponent in the third round is Hyundai Engineering & Construction. The game will be held at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 3rd of next month. Hyundai Engineering & Construction is also a burdensome opponent for coach Cha. Hyundai Engineering & Construction also suffered a painful 1-3 defeat to GS on the 26th.
"There are only five players who can play as best members of the Hyundai Engineering & Construction team even if they go to the national team," coach Cha said, adding, "It's a really difficult member to deal with in terms of members." At the same time, he predicted, "If you try to catch the flow by harassing the opponent's receiving and reduce your own mistakes, there is a chance of winning."
"First PO series win since debut" Heo Hoon met LG on the way to the championship game
KT Hur Hoon is doing a layup.
He aims to advance to the championship game for the first time in his life.
The Korean pro basketball team won the 2023-2024 playoff against Hyundai Mobis by winning three games and one loss to reach the semifinal PO. KT, which was particularly weak in spring basketball, smiled at the PO series for the first time in 10 years since 2014.
It was also a meaningful victory for Hur. Hur, who joined KT in 2017 as the top draft pick, has never had a chance to win a PO. During the 2017-2018 season when he made his debut, KT ranked at the bottom. In the 2018-2019 season, he won his first PO as the sixth-ranked player, but lost to LG for the first time with two wins and three losses. He continued his PO hopes by ranking sixth in the 2019-2020 season, but ended the game prematurely due to the novel coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19). Hur was awarded the first MVP in his career in this season.
In the 2020-2021 season, the Korean pro-baseball team ranked sixth once again in the PO league, but lost three games to KGC (currently Jeonggwanjang). Back then, KGC continued its strides by banking on Jarrod Salinger. Back then, Hur displayed his fighting spirit even when dealing with a thigh injury. In the 2021-2022 season, he directly advanced to the PO by ranking second in the regular season. However, he was stopped by KGC again this time. KT showed particularly weak performance in PO games by allowing three games even after winning the first game.
After he was discharged from the military, he had another chance. He challenged himself along with his powerful partner Paris Bath this season. He was a bit shaky at the end of the regular season, and emerged on the PO stage as the third place. In the series against Hyundai Mobis, he displayed discrepancy with Bath until the second game. However, things have changed since the third game. Rumor has it that Hur, who showed poor performance in the second game, blamed himself a lot.
He played the role of ace by scoring 18 points in the third game and 22 points in the fourth game. He also played his role in keeping Hyundai Mobis in check. He has an average of 20.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in four PO games.
KT Huh Hoon is playing.
In front of Heo Hoon, who found confidence in the PO for the sixth round, LG, who ranked second, is holding out. LG has continued its long winning streak at the end of the season with outstanding teamwork. As solid defense is its advantage, Heo Hoon's clever play is more important than ever.
Ahead of the PO match, Hur said, "I am more desperate than anyone else in preparing for the PO. I want to win the game. I am confident again this time. Players are also strong. Strategies and tactics are important, but will and desperation are needed. Who gives more is important. I will prepare well." 메이저 토토사이트

7 Leo sub aces exploded
OK Financial Group confirmed its third place in the league by beating "defending champion" Korean Air in the final home game of the sixth round season after a five-set struggle. With the possibility of a direct playoff, OK Financial Group's players also expressed strong confidence toward a playoff rematch with Korean Air, which has become difficult to challenge for four consecutive losses.
OK Financial Group played a home game against Korean Air in the 2023-24 V-League Men's Korean Air at Ansan Indoor Stadium on March 10 and won with a set score of 3 to 23 to 2 (25-21, 20-25, 25-20, 22-25, 15-12).
OK Financial Group, which has won two consecutive games thanks to its victory, has 20 wins and 15 losses (57 points) this season, widening the gap with fourth-ranked Hyundai Capital (50 points). If OK Financial Group wins the away match of Hyundai Capital, the final match of the season, or if Hyundai Capital loses a point at the match against Woori Card on Wednesday, it can advance to the playoffs at an early date. Korean Air has 22 wins and 13 losses (68 points) for this season, failing to catch up with Woori Card (69 points), which is leading the league. If Woori wins the match against Hyundai Capital on Wednesday, it can confirm its regular season title.
OK Financial Group won the final game of its 10th anniversary home season, giving great joy to the packed home crowd.
"Thank you to the players who did their best, even though they were tired from the previous game," OK Financial Group massage coach Ogino said after the game. Both the team and the coach showed great attitude toward the game. I felt that the team has grown to a new level. I understood that the opposing team focused on serving practice by setting a target thoroughly because of its good serve reception. It was also good that the opposing team responded differently according to the setter style. Setters followed Leo's request for the use of the opposing striker considering his possession rate," he said.
Regarding his advance to the spring volleyball tournament in three years, Ogino said, "I would like to thank the fans for their enthusiastic support from the opening game of the home game. My Japanese friends came and watched the game, and they felt that the cheering and support that were united in a different atmosphere from Japanese volleyball led to a good performance." If I meet Korean Air in the playoffs, I will keep the good part today. We have to win more as a team because the opponent is a strong team that is higher than us. I want to help them prepare for the playoffs in a fun way rather than putting pressure on them," he stressed.
Leo, who scored 31 points and set the record for the most serve aces in a men's game this season with seven serve aces, was selected as a leading player.
"For the three years since joining the team, I have finally come to the result that I have longed for," Leo said. "It was a season with many twists and turns, just like losing all three rounds and winning all four rounds. Korean Air is a strong team and it has shown good flow and teamwork throughout the season. If we meet again in the playoffs, we have to be more aggressive. I hope our fellow Korean players who are experiencing the playoffs will enjoy the game. I will fight in front of them. I hope they enjoy the game and play comfortably," he added with a nod. 메이저 토토사이트
Shin Ho-jin, who relieved Leo with 19 points on the day, also said, "It's my first spring volleyball tournament, and I think I achieved my goal this year. I'm even more happy because I gained the result by focusing on all my efforts with the older members. There were many plays that always discouraged me when I meet Korean Air. I think today's result will serve as an opportunity to break such bad news. Even if we meet again in the playoffs, if you are in the same mindset as today, you will have a good chance of winning. I want to say that I have more expectations than worries about the first spring volleyball tournament. I will try to enjoy it."
Song Hee-chae, who returned to her parents' home through trade and watched spring volleyball for the first time in three years, expressed different emotions. "I am very proud that I came back to my friendship and contributed to advancing to spring volleyball," Song said. "It would have been nice if we could have performed this season with a better performance, but I think now is a precious opportunity considering the tough times for our team. Since we secured the top two teams in the sixth round, I think we will gain confidence in the short-term match. In the short-term match, someone has to be crazy. I hope that (Shin) Ho-jin's explosive power and excitement will increase further. I hope that he will lead to a good jinx because he has never lost in the playoffs as a member of OK Financial Group." he smiled.
Except for Team A training for Kim Min-jae
It is predicted that "iron pillar" Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) will be pushed to the bench.
Munich will play the second leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 against Lazio (Italy) in the 2023-2024 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 6th.
The UCL Tournament is held in a home-and-away manner. In the first round match held on April 15, Lazio won 1-0 at home. From Munich's perspective, the team must overturn its one-goal deficit in the second round.
However, local media in Germany said that Munich's key defender Kim Min-jae was not included in the training ahead of the Lazio match.
German media Bild reported on the 5th that "Kim Min-jae was not included in Group A in the final training session ahead of the second leg against Lazio," adding, "Kim Min-jae is likely to start the game on the bench, not on the starting line." "Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is expected to use Eric Dier and Matthijs Dericht as the center-back duo," he added.
This is because Dyer's position, which was originally classified as a backup, has grown. Dyer, who played for Tottenham (England), played in seven games since joining Munich on loan in the winter transfer market in January. While Duricht and Dayo Upamecano were out due to injury, they steadily gained chances to play, impressing Tuchel.
Duricht attended the official press conference before the game. This means that Duricht is likely to start against Lazio. Considering that Kim Min-jae was excluded from training, the Duricht-Dye combination is expected to be activated.
However, some media outlets expected Kim Min-jae to start. British media "90min" and Italian media "Lachiali" predicted that Kim Min-jae and Duricht will start against Lazio. 메이저 토토사이트
