Heungkuk Life Insurance coach Park Mi-hee, who unilaterally handed over the first leg of the championship match (5 matches, 3 best wins), admitted the defeat. Regarding the part where Ace Kim Yeon-kyung did not attack a lot, he said, “It’s right to save it. It doesn’t just end with today’s game.”
Heungkuk Life Insurance lost 0-3 (18-25 14-25 17-25) against GS Caltex in the first leg of the 2020-21 Dodram V-League Champ match held at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 26th.
Heungkuk Life, who went on the final stage after struggling in the third game in the playoffs with IBK Industrial Bank, was a total challenge on this day.
Whether it was a physical aftermath, GS Caltex’s’Triangles’ Meretta Lutz (24 points), Lee So-young (14 points), and Kang So-hui (11 points) were not able to stop, and recorded a complete defeat in the first game.
In Heungkuk Life Insurance, Kim Yeon-kyung scored 13 points, but there weren’t many opportunities so the attack share was only 22.92%. To some extent, I deliberately cherished it.
After the game, coach Park said, “The atmosphere of the players was not bad, but the opponent’s condition was very good,” and “There was a lot of difference in the attack. I will think about how to defend the opponent’s attack.”
GS Caltex’s attacking success rate recorded 52.8% on this day, so the players’ physical condition was good.
Manager Park Mi-hee said, “It doesn’t end with today’s game,” and “(Kim Da-sol’s toss) went the other way.”
Considering that it is a match of the best of the 5 games, he also expressed the view that cherishing Kim Yeon-kyung would be helpful in the second game.
Manager Park explained, “Because of the overall atmosphere, we couldn’t chase today.”
Director Park also selected blocking as a part to be supplemented. Heungkuk Life Insurance was pushed to 2-9 in blocking numbers on this day.
He said, “I can’t increase the height all of a sudden, but I’ll be thinking about how to block (formation, etc.).”
The second game of both teams will be held at the same place on the 28th.
