Korean Air counterattack… Going to the end-JoongAng Ilbo

Lim Dong-hyuk, 22, a’young giant’ of Korean Air, a professional volleyball player, saved the team in crisis. The champion is now split in one remaining match.

Korean Air was awarded a set score of 3-0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-19) on our cards in the 4th leg of the 2020-21 season V-League men’s championship match (5 matches, 3 wins) held at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 15th. I won. The two teams with 2 wins and 2 losses will win the final 5th leg match. Game 5 will be held at 2pm on the 17th at Gyeyang Gymnasium, Incheon.

Coach Santili won the game. He did not disclose the starting lineup before the game. When the game started, right Lim Dong-hyuk played as the starter instead of the defensive left Kwak Seung-seok. Instead, Yosvani came out to the left and took part in the serve receive.

The result was a great success. Lim Dong-hyuk scored 18 points and relieved the burden of attacking Jung Ji-seok (18 points) and Yosvani (11 points). Yosbani managed to endure the opponent’s objective hitting service, although he focused on him. The left hand Hyeon-jong, who was urgently put into a place where Jin Seong-tae fell in pain in the back, also scored only 1 point of attack, but he added strength by recording 1 point each for blocking and serving.

Lim Dong-hyuk took on the role of the team’s main gun even at the beginning of the regular season while Andres Vijena (Spain) was injured. In the championship, he was pushed by Yosbani, but when he took the opportunity to play, he showed off his instinct as a solver.

Alex, who scored the most points (20 points) in the third game, was replaced at the start of the game, complaining of abdominal pain. Alex came back in the last minute of the first set and recorded a serve ace, but he stepped back from the court and kept the bench afterwards. Na Gyeong-bok scored 16 points and Han Sung-jung scored 12 points, but Alex’s vacancy was too large.
