[수원=이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] There is nothing that Shin Young-seok (34, KEPCO), a sign center for men’s volleyball in Korea, cannot. The center’s duty is quick and blocking as well as strong spike serve. Mosaicé also began to participate in receiving.
Shin Yeong-suk showed a powerful ability to catch as many as 10 blockings in a match against Samsung Fire, the men’s division of the professional volleyball 2020~21 V-League held at the Suwon Gymnasium on Christmas Day. He also led KEPCO’s set score 3-1 victory by taking 15 points, including two subscores.
Shin Young-seok brought the economic flow to KEPCO by blocking Samsung Fire’s attacks at every turn. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance faced the spirit of young native players, but could not break through the blocking wall like Cheol Ongseong built by Shin Young-seok.
On this day, the 10 blocking Shin Young-seok recorded was one less than the 11 most blocked V-League games ever. In addition, by adding 10 blockings on this day, it exceeded 900 blocking for the third time in the men’s history.
Shin Yeong-seok, who increased his personal career blocking to 907, stood shoulder to shoulder with Bong-woo Yoon (907), the second place in history. Only 149 were left until Lee Seon-gyu (1056) had the highest blocking record ever.
Shin Yeong-seok said, “When (Lee) Sun-gyu hyung blocked 1000, I thought,’Would I be able to cross that mountain?’ I think it will follow automatically.”
In fact, there is another reason that Shin Young-seok’s activities on this day are more impressive. This is because while taking the center position, he also participated in the receive. In general, the center does not participate in receive. However, Shin Young-seok willingly volunteered to take the role of receiving in order to relieve the burden of receiving foreign attacker Addison Russell.
SF&MI focused on serving Shin Young-seok, who was not used to receiving. It was a natural choice. However, Shin Young-seok received a serve flying in front of him without making a big mistake. Due to the burden of receiving, there were relatively few haste. Instead, thanks to Shin Young-seok, Russell (29 points), who relieved the burden of receiving, attacked with ease.
“It was honestly an adventure that the center was receiving,” said Shin Yeong-seok, “I thought it would be like volleyball in a cartoon, but I think I’m lost fortunately.”
He added, “Because there is no center that hits fast while receiving receiving in the world, it will be a good experience in volleyball life,” he said.
Shin Young-seok said, “Since Samsung Fire Insurance Shin Shin-ho looked at me and hit the serve strongly, I also shouted’Come in’ to avoid being pressed by the flag. Emphasized.
In addition, he added, “I have to overcome the current receiving burden so that the team will not go back to what it was before.” “As my role becomes more important in the future, I think I will have to practice receiving stronger servings.”
