Professional volleyball KB Insurance has won seven consecutive games, the most since its foundation.
KB Insurance beat OK Savings Bank by a set score of 3-2 (25-20 25-20 28-30 20-25 15-12) in the men's home game of Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do on the 16th.
As a result, KB Insurance, ranked third, which won seven games from the match against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance on the 19th of last month, recorded 12 wins, 9 losses and 33 points, trailing second-place copyright (12-8, 40 points) by 7 points.
KB Insurance, which won without Hwang Taek, has changed a lot
KB Insurance easily won the first set by overwhelming the team in height and attack. Park Sang-ha had three blocks, Na Kyung-bok had two, and foreign striker Andres Villena also scored eight points including one.
However, KB Insurance faced a bad news in the middle of the first set when setter Hwang Taek-ui, the core of the team's power, fell out due to back pain, and quickly put in backup setter Lee Hyun-seung.
Until the second set, the bank was okay. Fortunately, OK Savings Bank made a series of mistakes on its serve, and middle blocker Park Sang-ha quickly connected Lee Hyun-seung's toss at every critical moment, winning with the same score as in the first set.
However, as KB Insurance's attack slowed down due to Hwang's absence, OK Savings Bank launched a counterattack. KB Insurance also had a fierce competition for deuce, and OK Savings Bank, in which Park Chang-sung and Song Hee-chae scored consecutive goals at the last minute, finally won the third set.
The lowest-ranked OK Savings Bank, which has been mired in consecutive losses, was desperately needed. In particular, Shin's offense, which was replaced, revived and won even the fourth set.
In the last five sets, KB Insurance put forward Mohamed Yaqoob, a newly recruited Asian quarter player, to change the atmosphere, and Yaqoob gave KB Insurance a victory by breaking down OK Savings Bank's defense with a bold attack.
Lee Hyunseung who filled Hwang Taek's vacancy... Should I solve "Backup Setter"
Korean national team Hwang Taek-ui was behind KB Insurance, which fell to the bottom after losing five consecutive games in the opening of this season, jumping to third place with consecutive wins. As Hwang Taek-ui was discharged from the military after completing his military service, he became a completely different team.
However, Hwang Taek-ui was on the verge of losing his winning streak as he stepped down due to unexpected back pain, but Lee Hyun-seung, who took the court instead, saved KB Insurance.
There were few chances to play because he was a backup setter, but Lee Hyun-seung coordinated the attack by working with existing strikers such as Villena and Na Kyung-bok as well as with Jakub, who recently joined. 메이저놀이터
"I'm trying to win seven consecutive games, but I couldn't help but think that if I run and lose, all eyes come to me," Lee Hyun-seung said after the game. "I'm the youngest, but as a setter, I led the team responsibly without paying attention."
Lee Hyun-seung, who was a promising player who received attention enough to participate in the World Youth Championship as a youth representative in high school, joined Hyundai Capital and entered the professional stage, but did not grow as much as expected.
After all, Lee Hyun-seung, who moved to KB Insurance along with Cha Young-seok ahead of the opening of this season, may play more games in the future depending on the severity of Hwang's injury. If KB Insurance advances to volleyball in the spring, it will have a much more important role to play than it does now.
Attention is focusing on whether the day's performance will be a turning point in Lee Hyun-seung's volleyball life, which has spent more time sitting on the bench than on the court.
