Ahead of the game, OK Savings Bank manager Masayoshi Ogino said, "I practiced overall during the All-Star break. We practiced our tasks, such as the combination of Dig or the attack team, Dig"Hyundai Capital is a strong team with a large number of superstars. In the previous game, the last one was disappointing because of the two-point gap in every set. I practiced about the situation of scoring at the end. There are many players whose opponents hit the serve hard, so I think we should try not to give up points in a row" he said.

As he failed to win even one win against Hyundai Capital in the first to third rounds, he aimed to avenge the game on the day. However, the game was more difficult than the third round.

Hyundai Capital Huh Soo-bong (20 points), Leo (15 points) and Shin Feng (10 points) failed to win a set without blocking the triangle formation. While Shin Ho-jin scored 12 points, Kim Gun-woo started for the first time since his debut and worked hard with a 44% attack rate of 11 points, but failed to prevent the team's defeat.




After the game, coach Ogino said "We collapsed the opponent's sub-receiving, but our sub-receiving didn't work. So it was difficult. The opponent's offensive RBI was high, so he tried to attack after one touch, but he couldn't even touch it. "However, there was a possibility that the player who did not play in the game as the first starter played. I think (the atmosphere) can be connected next time. I think I should prepare for the next game, the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance match (11th) while practicing", he commented in general.

The player who coach Ogino said 'First Selection' is Kim Gun-woo. Coach Ogino said, `Kim Gun-woo must have been nervous because he started the game for the first time, but he showed a smart appearance during practice. He explained, "Because we are losing consecutive games, I think he is a player who can calm down and raise the atmosphere."
