Korean Air has saved its chances of advancing to the championship game for five consecutive seasons. Korean Air won a complete set score of 3-0 (25-18, 25-22, 25-22) in the second round of the Dodram 2024 ￣ 2025 V-League Men's Playoff against KB Insurance at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 28th.
Korean Air, which made the series record 1 win and 1 loss, will play its last match at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu on the 30th.
Strong serve shook the opponent's defense and quickly decided the game with the defense and attack. Russell, who flew in place of Yosvani, who was injured, scored 22 points, the most by both teams, including four serve aces and two blocks. The attack success rate was 61.5 percent. Jeong Han-yong scored 10, Kim Min-jae scored 9, and Jeong Ji-seok scored eight points, showing even performance by the main players. And Yoo Kwang-woo distributed appropriately to these strikers, dispersing the opponent's blocks.
After the game, Yoo Kwang-woo said "It's important for the team to win this kind of game rather than individuals doing well or not. I think I did it desperately because I thought I couldn't finish the season on my home turf in Incheon. "I think what's important is faith. They were all the players we had played together, and Russell came, but I tried to believe it. I believed in him and sprayed the ball, and as the strikers solved it, I gained trust again"He said he played in faith with the strikers.
Especially on this day, he distributed his attacks to various players. So Russell's attack success rate was higher. Yoo Kwang-woo believes that they are all capable players. I thought that if it wasn't for him, he would do it for me, but all the players who made the first choice did a good job"Thank you to the strikers.
Russell thought he would attack when he was chased 22-21 in the third set, but Yoo Kwang-woo gave Kim Min-jae a fastball and made it 23-21 as it succeeded, dampening the mood of KB Insurance's pursuit and eventually ending the game in the third set. When asked about his choice at this time, Yoo Kwang-woo confidently gave it to Min-jae because he saw the opponent blocker abandoning the middle and heading toward the right"
Expectations for the new Russell were also high. "Russell serves well first. And the height is good. It is difficult for Korean and foreign players to overcome the height. A player with a height is certainly easy to handle even in difficult situations, but Russell also did so. "I think I'll show better performance if I have more time to match."
After losing the first game, the players "Let's not finish at home." And Korean Air players are determined to say, "Our spring has yet to come.' Yu Kwang-woo "Waiting above and going up are certainly in different positions. If you don't let your guard down, it can be over"I think the third game will also have an interesting game because I will do my best in one game and the players will play hard."
