With both teams having three games left until the end of the regular season, the matchup on the 7th is expected to be a watershed in the final postseason competition.

Basically, the 1st to 3rd place teams in the regular league advance to the V-League postseason, but if the point difference between 3rd and 4th places is 3 or less, a semi-playoff match is held.

With So-Hwi Kang missing from the starting lineup due to recent poor performance, GS Caltex had a hard time against Pepper Savings Bank, the lowest ranked player, in the early part of the first set.

At 20-19, where the gap was barely widen, Giselle Silva (registered name Silva) played the role of the solution by scoring consecutive strong spikes.

Afterwards, opponent Park Jung-ah’s attack left the court, and Silva smoothly scored a toss from behind.

Silva, who was also responsible for the 25th point, scored 12 points alone during one set.

GS Caltex was down 12-17 in the second set, but succeeded in turning around the game thanks to Silva’s firepower and the scoring support of domestic players.

Seo-yeon Yoo opened the chase with an open score, and Pepper Savings Bank contributed two points with Yasmin Bedart (registered name Yasmin)’s overnet and open out.

Silva scored three consecutive points to make it 18-17, and Yoo Seo-yeon and Kim Ji-yeon widened the score with quick opens and serve aces, respectively.

Afterwards, the second set ended with Kang So-hwi’s quick open and Moon Ji-yoon’s quick attack.

GS Caltex, which was on the cusp of victory, achieved a shutout victory thanks to the surprising performances of middle blockers Oh Se-yeon (5 points) and Moon Ji-yoon (4 points).

Silva led the GS Caltex attack with 24 points (attack success rate 51.11%), and other players such as Oh Se-yeon (8 points), Kang So-hwi (7 points), Darin Pinsu-wan (registered name Darin, 6 points), and Moon Ji-yoon (6 points) Their attacks were also impressive.

Pepper Savings Bank featured ‘ssangpo’ Yasmin (13 points) and Park Jeong-ah (12 points), but it was not enough.

In the men’s match at Sangnoksu Gymnasium in Ansan, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance won 3-1 (25-19 27-25 16-25 25-20) over the home team OK Financial Group.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which escaped two consecutive losses, rose to 4th place with 18 wins, 15 losses, and 48 points, pushing Korea Electric Power Corporation (16 wins, 17 losses, 47 points) to 5th place.

With three games remaining in the regular season, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance narrowed the gap with third-place OK Financial Group (18 wins, 15 losses, 52 points) to 4 points.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which holds the record for the most championships in the V-League by winning a total of eight championships, last won the 2013-2014 season.

The last postseason advancement was in the 2017-2018 season.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance succeeded in breaking Sangnoksu Gymnasium’s losing streak at ’13’, which had continued since the game on November 13, 2019.

On this day, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance had 12 sub-aces, overwhelming OK Financial Group, which had only 5.

Yosvani Hernández (registered name: Yosvani) scored 21 points, including 6 serve points, and Jargalchukt Engherden (registered name Eddie) dominated the court with 25 points, including 3 serve aces.

25 points is Eddie’s new record for most points scored in one game.

Here, Kim Jeong-ho contributed with 11 points and 2 blocking and 2 serving points, and Kim Jun-woo also scored 11 points with 4 blocking alone.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which easily won the first set, was dragged to a set point of 23-24 in the second set, but made a deuce due to an opponent’s error.

At 25-25, they took the second set thanks to OK Financial Group’s Song Hee-chae’s serve failure and Leonardo Leyva Martinez (registered name: Leo)’s consecutive failures.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, which was lopsided in the 3rd set, scored 5 consecutive points at 20-20 in the 4th set to dominate 3 points.

OK Financial Group, which could have crossed the 9th division for spring volleyball advancement by adding 3 points on this day, suffered a fatal blow when Leo (25 points) strained his back in a close match at the end of the 4th set.

FOUR TEAMS COMPETE IN ‘SPRING VOLLEYBALL’… MEN’S VOLLEYBALL, LAST-MINUTE SPRINT ‘COMING SOON’

 

From OK Financial Group in 3rd place to Hyundai Capital in 6th place, everyone has ‘spring volleyball visibility’.

In the women’s division, only the battle for the lead between Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Heungkuk Life Insurance remains.

The men’s professional volleyball division, which is nearing the end of the 2023-2024 season, is still fighting fiercely for rankings. 바카라사이트

The four teams ranked 3rd to 6th are more intense than the competition for the lead in the regular league between 1st place Korean Air (22 wins, 11 losses, 67 points) with 3 games remaining and 2nd place Woori Card (21 wins, 11 losses, 63 points) with 4 games remaining.

This is a fierce competition for ‘Spring Volleyball’ tickets.

With three games remaining each, 3rd place OK Financial Group (18 wins, 15 losses, 52 points), 4th place Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (18 wins, 15 losses, 48 points), and 5th place Korea Electric Power Corporation (16 wins, 17 losses, 47 points), here.

With 4 games remaining, 6th place Hyundai Capital (14 wins, 18 losses, 44 points) will compete for spring volleyball tickets.

In the professional volleyball V-League, a semi-playoff (quasi-PO) single match is only possible if the point difference between the 3rd and 4th place teams is less than 3.

If the semi-PO is not held, the 2nd to 3rd place teams will immediately enter the best-of-three playoffs (PO).

With the current points lined up closely, there is a high possibility that the men’s division will achieve semi-PO success.

OK Financial Group, ranked 3rd, meets Korea Electric Power Corporation (7th), Korean Air (10th), and Hyundai Capital (15th) in the remaining three games.

All of these teams are in the midst of competing for rankings, so they are formidable opponents, but even if they get just one win, they can get close to advancing to at least the semi-PO level.

If they can maintain the ‘4 points’ gap with 4th place Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance until the end, they can avoid the burdensome semi-PO single match and advance directly to PO.

If OK Financial Group participates in spring volleyball this season, it will be three years since the 2020-2021 season.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, ranked 4th in the ‘traditional family’ aiming to advance to spring volleyball for the first time in 6 years since the 2017-2018 season, took a breather by winning the OK Financial Group match on the 3rd.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance must win the ‘Classic Match’ against Hyundai Capital on the 8th and then add points in the matches against Korea Electric Power Corporation (13th) and Woori Card (16th).

5th place KEPCO has already met 1st place Korean Air and 2nd place Woori Card, so it is advantageous that the remaining 3 games are against OK Financial Group, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and KB Insurance (17th).

Hyundai Capital, ranked 6th, is the only spring volleyball candidate with 4 games remaining, and is in a burdensome situation as they must achieve at least 3 wins.

In the women’s division, only the ranking competition between 1st place Hyundai Engineering & Construction and 2nd place Heungkuk Life Insurance remains, and the rankings of the remaining teams appear to have been solidified.

The gap between Hyundai Engineering & Construction (24 wins, 8 losses, 73 points) and Heungkuk Life Insurance (25 wins, 7 losses, 70 points), who have 4 games left each, is 3 points.

The fate of the two teams, who each lost once to 3rd place CheongKwanJang in the 6th round, is likely to be different in the matchup that will take place at Suwon Gymnasium on the 12th.

If Hyundai Engineering & Construction wins, it will secure first place in the regular league and cross the 9th division ridge, and Heungkuk Life Insurance must take 3 points to come back and win.

If Heungkuk Life Insurance wins in a match between the two teams, it will have the advantage of taking the lead in multiple wins, which is the criterion for ranking when the points are the same.

Cheong Kwan Jang (19 wins, 14 losses, 58 points), who had 6 consecutive wins at the end of the season, has almost secured the 3rd place position, and 4th place GS Caltex (18 wins, 15 losses, 51 points), 7 points behind Cheong Kwan Jang, will play in the remaining 3 games.

Only by passing it on can you expect a semi-PO success.
