[더스파이크=장충/서영욱 기자] It was Shin Yeon-kyung who kept the coat until the end even after the dizzying crash scene.
On the 29th, at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, GS Caltex and IBK Industrial Bank 5th set last minute came out. IBK IBK fell behind by 9-10, while the rally continued, Kim Joo-hyang and Shin Yeon-kyung collided strongly in the defense process. Kim Joo-hyang Shin Yeon-kyung, who had her neck hit her ass, could not get up while lying on the floor.
After the rally ended with IBK IBK’s score, medical staff was urgently put in to confirm the status of the new connection. Shin Yeon-kyung, who could hardly get up, woke up on her own after some time passed. Because it was a more cautious situation because of the shock to the neck, Kim Soo-bin, registered as the 2nd Libero, took off his training suit and was preparing to put it in.
Shin Yeon-kyung, who woke up cautiously, was not constantly replaced and kept on the court. Despite the shocking situation, Shin Yeon-kyung stayed with the players until the end, and IBK Industrial Bank won by bringing the 5 sets to 16-14 after a close match to Deuce. It was the moment when Shin Yeon-kyung’s injured fighting spirit shined. After the game, captain Kim Hee-jin also said, “Unless it is a serious injury, there is a will and desperate desire to play in the game. “I want to give you a high score for the fact that Yeon-kyung showed that kind of play.”
Fortunately, he got himself up and digested the game until the end, but additional tests are needed. IBK Industrial Bank coach Woo-jae Kim said in an interview after the game, “We need to understand the situation. Joohyang hit the hip and neck. I think I have to look at the status.”
Shin Yeon-kyung, who is playing an active role as the main game Libero of IBK Industrial Bank this season, played a role in the defense of the 29th game as well. With 34 digging successes, he recorded the most digging in both teams, and received efficiency was also observed at 52.38%. This season, Shin Yeon-gyeong is continuing a good performance, ranking second in the total of the Diggs (5.5 per set) including the game on the 29th. Full-time Libero has been holding the center of defense of IBK IBK by signaling a successful turn from the first season. In the situation where the contribution was already large within the team, Shin Yeon-kyung was also desperate in the game on the 29th.
