Korea Expressway Corporation is dreaming of a miracle.
The Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Women’s Champions League seemed to end with Heungkuk Life Insurance’s one-sided victory if only looked at the first and second games.
Heungkuk Life Insurance had selected players such as Yelena Mrazenovich (registered name Yelena), Kim Yeon-kyung, and Kim Mi-yeon, while Korea Expressway Corporation had an attack success rate of 50% during the two games, excluding Park Jung-ah (10 points, attack success rate 55.56%) in the second game. He also showed poor attack power so that no player passed it.
Driven into a corner, Korea Expressway Corporation played the 3rd match of the championship match against Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Heungkuk Life Insurance at the Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium on the 2nd. If they lost this game, the championship match could end with 0 wins and 3 losses, so they were desperate for victory.
In such an important game, Park Jeong-ah and Bae Yuna scored 24 points and 16 points, respectively, leading the team to a 3-1 (22-25, 25-21, 25-22, 25-20) victory.
The faces of the two players who visited the interview room after the game were brighter than ever. Park Jung-ah said, “The performance of the first and second games was very bad. Before the game, it could be our last time, so I laughed and said, “Let’s relax.” He continued, “In Incheon, there were so many fans of Heungkuk Life Insurance that, to be honest, there were parts where I went into a dead state. But Gimcheon is our home stadium. Park Jung-ah expressed her gratitude for the enthusiastic support of the home fans, saying, “It was a source of strength for many people to support me.
The Korea Expressway Corporation, which gave up the first and second games, could have gotten worse by losing the first set in the match, but eventually overcame it and made a come-from-behind victory. Bae Yoo-na said, “Rather than thinking that we were losing on the court, we thought we could follow if our strengths came out. Blocking is our strength, so we believed we could win if we had more blocking.”
Korea Expressway Corporation was unable to play the game in a normal condition due to the players suffering from a cold in the first and second games held earlier. However, Park Jung-ah did not make an excuse that she lost because of a cold. “It wasn’t because of the cold, but because we couldn’t. I was exhausted after playing every day since the playoffs, and I had no time to prepare for the championship match. It’s not because of our physical condition, it’s just that we couldn’t do it.”
Fortunately, Korea Expressway Corporation succeeded in reversing the atmosphere in the third game. Nevertheless, it is true that Heungkuk Life Insurance still has an advantage. Also, a team that lost both the first and second games in the championship match has never recorded a come-from-behind victory. In other words, the team that lost both games 1 and 2 has a 0% chance of winning.메이저사이트
However, Park Jung-ah said, “I don’t care about the odds. Not everyone expected us to make it to spring volleyball before the season or even make it to the championship game. You don’t know what the championship match will be like,” he said confidently.
On this day, Heungkuk Life Insurance showed a physical struggle unlike before. Bae Yoo-na also noticed this. But she was not careless. “I could see that it was more difficult than the first and second games. But so are we. It’s only natural that you’re having a hard time physically right now. The key is how long you can hold on, and I think the 4th game will also be a physical fight,” she informed.
Finally, Bae Yoo-na said, “Rather than thinking that I have to win the 4th game and go to Incheon unconditionally, I believe that good results will follow if I work hard and accumulate points in the 4th game. I will put down the burden of going to Incheon unconditionally and I will do my best,” she said and left the interview room.
