The season ended last season due to Corona 19 and finished in second place.
Reporter Kim Joo-hee = Now the ball has passed to GS Caltex. GS Caltex aims to rise to the top by overturning the last minute.
The 2020-2021 V-League women’s division with the end of the season nearing the edge is heating up until the end as a championship competition.
As of the 11th, Heungkuk Life Insurance (19-10, 56 points) is the first place. However, the chances of winning the second place GS Caltex (19 wins 9 losses and 55 points) are higher.
This is because GS Caltex is pushed by a ‘1’ difference in points, but has left two games, one more than Heungkuk Life Insurance, in the remaining games.
Heungkuk Life Insurance lost to Hyundai E&C on the 9th with a set score of 1-3. As Heungkuk Life lost its chance to win, it became GS Caltex.
For GS Caltex, it is a great opportunity to shake off last year’s regrets.
GS Caltex also fought for No. 1 until the end of last season. In the fierce competition between Hyundai E&C and GS Caltex, the first place owner has changed continuously.
It was the unexpected Corona 19 pandemic that blocked the challenge to the top. The V-League announced the suspension of the season on March 2 of last year as Corona 19 spread. After that, it went through the board of directors and decided to end the season without reopening.
GS Caltex took the lead but lost to Hyundai E&C on March 1, the last game, and fell to second place, but as the season ended, the feeling of collapse was great.
In the end, Hyundai E&C took first place with 55 points (20 wins and 7 losses), and GS Caltex missed the first place with 54 points (18 wins and 9 losses).
GS Caltex has not been evaluated as a candidate for the championship ahead of this season. This is because’Heung Venus (Heungkuk Life + Avengers)’ was so powerful. GS Caltex was regarded as an anti-horse to stop Heungkuk’s life.
However, Heungkuk Life, which had solidified the single leader system by running 10 consecutive victories in the opening, collapsed with controversy over school violence between twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young. As the burden on the main player Kim Yeon-kyung increases, the overall team shakes.
On the other hand, GS Caltex has recently been streaking for 5 consecutive wins and is uniting more closely. The firepower of the triangular formation leading to Lutz, Lee So-young, and Kang So-hui is also difficult.
GS Caltex is one step closer to winning in 12 years since the 2008-2009 season.
GS Caltex invites IBK IBK to its home on the 12th. On the 16th, the final game of the season will be played against KGC Ginseng Corporation.
