Men’s professional volleyball Hyundai Capital burned its ambition to win the regular league. 

Hyundai Capital won with a set score of 3-0 (25-23 25-21 25-18) in an away game against Woori Card in the final 6th round of the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Men’s Division held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 24th. 

In the last 5 rounds, Hyundai Capital, which caught up with Korean Air, who had monopolized the 1st place in the regular league by ‘flying high’ with 5 wins and 1 loss, won 3 points against Woori Card and took down Korean Air, who played one less game, and rose to 1st place. stood

On the other hand, Woori Card, which faced the biggest crisis of the season with a sluggish 1 win and 5 losses in the 5th round, failed to find a breakthrough as it lost weakly in the game that marked the start of the 6th round. 

Hyundai Capital, which proved its qualifications as a candidate for the championship, Hyundai Capital, which 

had a chance to win the regular league for the first time in 5 years, and Woori Card, whose competition to advance to spring volleyball was at stake, were in dire need of victory for different reasons.

It was the crime that decided the game that seemed like walking on thin ice. In a 23-23 tie situation, Hyundai Capital won the first set as Woori Card played Riverman Agamez’ sub and Na Gyeong-bok’s attack.

The second set was not significantly different. When Hyundai Capital ran away, the situation continued with Woori Card chasing. Woori Card even threw Agamez, who had a bad shoulder condition, as a middle blocker, but there was no ripple effect enough to overturn the atmosphere of the game. 

This time, the reception was mixed. While Hyundai Capital received Woori Card’s serve well, Woori Card lost the power to pursue as Libero Jae-Sung Oh’s receive wavered, and Hyundai Capital took the second set much more easily than the first set.

In the 3rd set, Oreol Camejo, who had conserved his strength, came out. With a skillful attack that controls the strength and weakness, he scored easily. Woori Card also squeezed out the last strength by scoring 4 consecutive points in the middle of the set, but it seemed that it could not overcome the burden. Hyundai Capital, who had scored 6 consecutive goals, including Kim Myeong-gwan’s consecutive serve ace, won the 3rd set, and the game ended in a bland match unlike the weight of the match. 

‘All-around beauty’ Heo Soo-bong, the reason why Hyundai Capital is strong 

Hyundai Capital, which has been in the lower ranks for the past two seasons, is challenging the championship this season with the ‘triangle formation’ of Oreol, Jeon Kwang-in, and Heo Soo-bong showing off their power. On this day메이저사이트, Heo Soo-bong’s performance was more noticeable.

Heo Soo-bong scored 17 points, the most among both teams, including two blocks. He went back and forth between the front and rear and helped his teammates score goals with his tenacious defense. Jeon Kwang-in and Oreoll also contributed with 11 points and 10 points, respectively. 

Heo Su-bong, who has been in his 7th year of debut, is growing into an ace of Hyundai Capital. In particular, he beat foreign players in the 5th round and ranked first with an attack success rate of 57.96%, and was selected as the best player (MVP) of the round for the first time since his debut. 

Heo Soo-bong runs around the court busier than anyone else this season. He originally played as an apogee spiker, but was sometimes put in as a middle blocker under the direction of coach Choi Tae-woong. This is the secret to Hyundai Capital’s ability to try various tactics. 

As the regular season nears its end, Hyundai Capital has also become more important in managing their physical strength. It means that the responsibility of the 25-year-old ‘young blood’ Heo Soo-bong has become that much heavier. Attention is focusing on whether Heo Soo-bong, who has emerged as a star of Hyundai Capital beyond being a young rookie, will lift the championship trophy.
