Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance got off to a good start with a 3-1 victory in the game held a day later.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance won the Group A match against KB Insurance (25-17, 25-19, 24-26, 25-21) at Jinnam Indoor Gymnasium in Yeosu on the 14th.

Initially, the match was scheduled to be played as the second match on the 13th, but it was postponed to the 14th because the FIVB did not give an answer to the tournament's approval. Since then, the cancellation has been decided, and I almost missed it, but FIVB has decided to resume it with a conditional approval answer.




It is a competition in which a team without a national team is advantageous because foreign players and world championships do not play.

KB Insurance's four main players, setter Hwang Taek-eui, middle blocker Cha Young-seok, and outside heater Lim Sung-jin and Na Kyung-bok, are absent from the World Championship, but Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance will be able to play in the tournament on rather good terms except for one Kim Joon-woo in the reserve entry.

In both the first and second sets, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance slightly widened the score gap and took the set as it was.




The third set continued to be a close game until the middle, and KB Insurance led 12-8 with Na Woong-jin and Ji Eun-woo, and continued the lead to 18-15, leaning toward KB Insurance.

However, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance blocked Lee Joon-young's spike, followed by Kim Yo-han and Yang Soo-hyun blocking Na Jin-woong's spike in a row to tie the score at 18-18, and Kim Yo-han blocked Na Woong-jin's attack once again to eventually make a 19-18 upset. Four consecutive blocks.

Since then, it has entered a close race, and at 23-23, Park Sang-ha blocked Lee Yun-soo's spike, and KB Insurance reached 24 points first, but Kim Woo-jin's back attack eventually entered the deuce.

However, Park Sang-ha took the lead with a fastball, and soon after, Lee Joon-young blocked Kim Woo-jin's spike, and KB Insurance eventually took the third set 26-24.

A close game in which they exchange one point each until the middle of the fourth set. But by the middle of the day, the victory's further tilt began. Following Kim Yo-han's back attack at 12-12, Kim Woo-jin's success in four consecutive attacks immediately led Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance to 17-12. And Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance kept this lead to the end. Lee Yun-soo's spike finished the fourth set 25-21.

For Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, Kim Woo-jin scored the most points on both teams with 21 points, Kim Yo-han scored 18 points and Lee Yoon-soo scored 17, with three players leading the attack and Yang Soo-hyun also helped with 10 points.

KB Insurance's Na Woong-jin led the attack with 18 points, Park Sang-ha scored 11, Park Ye-chan scored 10, Lee Joon-young scored 9, and Koreans and Ji Eun-woo scored 8 points each, so everyone participated in the attack, but it was not enough to win.
