"Kim Yeon-kyung is tired." Heungkuk Life is Shaking
Heungkuk Life, led by "Volleyball Empress" Kim Yeon-kyung, faced a crisis. The appearance of continuing consecutive wins until the second round has disappeared.
Heungkuk Life lost the set score 1-3 in the women's third round of the 2023-24 V-League against Hyundai Engineering & Construction at Samsan Gymnasium in Incheon on the 20th.
Heungkuk Life lost for the first time in a row this season. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had ranked second in the women's league before the match, could have regained the top spot if it had taken the lead in Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Rather, however, by dedicating three points to the two teams, the gap widened to four points 40 points for Hyundai Engineering & Construction and 36 points for Heungkuk Life Insurance.
There was another reason why Heungkuk Life was even more shocked on the day. Kim Da-in, the main setter of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, failed to play due to flu symptoms. Instead, Kim Sa-rang, a 19-year-old, inexperienced candidate setter, put up the ball instead. Before the game, almost everyone expected Heungkuk Life to win. However, the result was the opposite.
Heungkuk Life Insurance was "absolutely in the first place" until the second round. In the 12 games in the first and second rounds, the team lost just one game and recorded 11 wins and one loss. It also has nine consecutive wins, the most in this season.
However, it started to creak in the third round. It lost to GS Caltex on the 9th and failed to secure 10 consecutive wins. Since then, it took a breather by beating IBK Industrial Bank after a full-set match on the 14th. However, it lost to Korea Expressway Corporation, the lowest-ranked team, on the 17th, and was caught by Hyundai Engineering & Construction again on the same day.
Heungkuk Life Insurance's biggest strength is the twin guns of Kim Yeon-koung and Yelena Mrazenovic registered name Yelena. The problem is that attacks are too focused on the two. Kim Yeon-koung has a 30.52 percent attack share this season. Yelena accounts for 34.86 percent of the total. Together, the two players are responsible for more than 65 percent of the total attacks. In the match against Hyundai Engineering & Construction on April 20, 75 percent 42 percent for Yelena and 33 percent for Kim Yeon-koung of the team's attacks were concentrated on the two players.
Attacks on a specific player also mean that the attack pattern is simple. The opposing team puts all their energy into stopping only Kim Yeon-kyung and Yelena. No matter how good your individual abilities are, it is not easy to overcome concentration checks.
The bigger problem is physical stamina. Kim Yeon-koung is already in her mid-30s. It is hard to display 100 percent power throughout the game like she was in her heyday. As the actual rounds continue, the attack destructive power seems to decrease. The attack success rate, which was close to 50 percent at 48.47 percent in the first round, fell to 45.95 percent in the second round and 43.78 percent in the third round.
In fact, it's not just Kim Yeon-koung's problem. Heungkuk Life Insurance has recently shown signs of exhaustion across the team. Being tired means losing concentration. If you lose concentration, it leads to an error.
Heungkuk Life Insurance made a whopping 29 team mistakes in the match against Hyundai Engineering and Construction. It is more than double the number of mistakes made by Hyundai Engineering and Construction. In the first set, the team recorded seven serve errors alone. In the final four sets, the team made a mistake due to consecutive serve errors.
Receiving instability is also serious. Heungkuk Life Insurance's team receiving efficiency for this season is 30.91 percent, ranking sixth among the seven teams. Pepper Savings Bank is the only team that has the lowest receiving efficiency. However, in the two games it lost recently, receiving efficiency remained in the 20% range. The receiving is a mess, but offense cannot be carried out properly.
"It was a terrifying game," Heungkuk Life coach Avondanja said after the game. "We had 29 errors. It's hard to put into words." "We had our own problems," he said. "I don't know why we showed such a good performance even though our opponent's key setter was missing." 안전놀이터
Future schedules will also not be easy. He will meet Chung Kwan-gwan in succession on April 24 Incheon and April 28 Daejeon. Heungkuk Life Insurance had one win and one loss against Chung Kwan-gwan in this season. Both games were neck-and-neck competitions in full set. On the following day, it will face off against the leader Hyundai Engineering & Construction again. Heungkuk Life Insurance has faced its biggest crisis this season.
Macau's total monthly gaming revenue rises for 14th straight year
More than 30 casinos in Macau reportedly saw total gaming revenue rise by about 16.1% year-on-year to about $2.65 billion in September, despite still recovering from the effects of Typhoon Hato and relatively weak tropical storm Pakar last month.
September marked Macau's 14th straight month of total gaming revenue growth, while the $8.32 billion posted throughout the third quarter marked a 21.8% increase, according to official figures from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau of the former Portuguese residence.
According to reports, Deutsche Bank Securities analysts Carlo Santarelli and Danny Valloy explained that Macau's VIP aggregated total gaming revenue rose about 38% year-on-year in the third quarter, compared to 35% in the previous quarter. This represents a decline in last quarter's 9% improvement, but is reportedly up 6% due to gaming tables and slot activity in the public market. 슬롯머신
The September figure means Macau has recorded nearly $24.03 billion in total gaming revenue so far, up 18.8% year-on-year.
According to reports, Santarelli and Valloy explained that Macau expects total game sales to increase by about 17% year-on-year, meaning "approximately 5% sequential quarterly growth."

Uzbekistan quenches Hong Kong sensation and soccer
Uzbekistan defeated Hong Kong 4-0 in the bronze medal match of the tournament held at Sangcheng Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, China on the 7th (Korea Standard Time).
Uzbekistan, which had previously failed to advance to the finals after losing 1-2 to South Korea in the semifinals, won a bronze medal and achieved a successful conclusion. Uzbekistan has won a medal in this event for the first time in 29 years since the gold medal at the 1994 Hiroshima Games.

Manchester United in Crisis
Manchester United, which has been suffering from a series of bad news such as a series of injuries and team noise, is seeking a rebound on its home turf.
Manchester United and Brentford will play the eighth round of the English Premier League (PL) in the 2023-24 season at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England, at 11 p.m. on the 7th (Korea time). Currently, Manchester United ranks 10th in the league with 9 points, and Brentford ranks 14th with 7 points.
United are in the worst slump this season with three wins and four losses. He showed good performance in third place in the final ranking with 23 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses last season, but he is already showing a completely different appearance with four losses. There were more losses than wins in the league, and even the winning games showed signs of instability by one goal.
Looking at the performance, the problem is that the offense that extends to the right side is weak and that it often gives space behind the defense. Frequent mistakes are also occurring in the rear build-up process, and Andre Onana, a "favorite" recruited by head coach Erik ten Hach, has made frequent mistakes and the defense is shaking. He lost both of his last two games and lost two in a row, which is not a good trend.
There was also noise in the squad. Jadon Sancho, who came to Manchester United with much anticipation, has protested against Tenhach this season, and the feud continues. Sancho, who was born in 2000, was considered one of Manchester United's future players, but he suffered a slump because he failed to show the sharpness he showed during Dortmund. The outlook for this season was not bright either. He is not on the roster due to a conflict with coach Tenhach and has clearly fallen behind in the main race.
It's the worst. Manchester United's atmosphere is in a mess due to rumors of the dismissal of manager Ten Hach. It is literally a series of bad news as he continues to suffer from a series of line injuries in a state of great physical burden as he continues to the Champions League.
To make matters worse. There are also a number of injuries, many of which are defenders. Of the seven games he played so far, only two were clean sheets. In addition, defensive midfielder Casemiro is also considered sluggish compared to last season, and the defense is shaking. In order for Manchester United to rebound, it is essential to reorganize the collapsed defense and revive Casemiro.
The situation is also bad for away team Brentford. With one win, four draws and one loss in seven games, the league has won only once against Fulham. His scoring ability has also decreased compared to last season, and scoring through set pieces last season was the team's weapon, but this is not the case this year. In terms of performance, he is losing as many points as he scored with 10 points and 10 points, but he is especially weak in set piece defense. He also allowed two goals in a set piece against Everton. 스포츠중계
In addition, defenders who have risen to high positions due to forward pressure tactics are slow to return to positions, so they are weak in counterattacks. On average, they score one goal per game, but even if they score the first goal, they cannot maintain the flow and fail to keep the victory, making it difficult to accumulate points. On top of that, Ivan Toney, a key striker, is not playing due to disciplinary action, and the rotation is not easy as seven players are excluded from the entry due to injuries.
There are only two points difference between the two teams. If Manchester United loses three points to Brentford, the ranking will also be reversed. Manchester United has dominated the recent record with three wins, one draw and one loss, but at the current pace, we cannot be sure of winning. Can Manchester United overcome the crisis and succeed in rebounding in a bad situation for both teams.
