Daejeon's Jeong Kwan-jang poured cold water on Incheon Heungkuk Life Insurance, which took on the milestone challenge.
Jeong Kwan-jang, led by head coach Ko Hee-jin, won the set score 3-1 (25-22, 25-23, 14-25, 25-22) against Heungkuk Life in the third round of the "2024-25 Dodram V-League" at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 17th.
After winning the first or second set, he lost the third set and was on the verge of 17-20 in the fourth set, but he succeeded in turning the tables again with Bukiric's consecutive points. Mega-Bukiric's blockings and quick openings broke out one after another, winning the 25th point and securing the victory.
Despite the atmosphere that was somewhat overheated due to the bench's war of nerves, Jeong Kwan-jang won three sets without being shaken.
Bukirich Foreign striker Bukirich scored 34 points and Mega scored 20, destroying Heungkuk Life Insurance that Kim Yeon-koung (26 points) endured. Jung Kwan-jang's twin guns Bukirich and Mega also scored more than 47 percent in attack success rate.
Jeong Kwan-jang, who was "complete" with setter Yeom Hye-sun and foreign player Mega joining, blocked Heungkuk Life's fearsome run with a very different performance from the 1st and 2nd rounds.
The third-ranked Jeong Kwan-jang (9-6, 26 points) has won five consecutive games, widening the gap with the fourth-ranked IBK Industrial Bank (8-6, 22 points). The leading Heungkuk Life Insurance (40 points) lost for the first time this season after 14 consecutive wins. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which collapsed in front of the Jeong Kwan-jang, failed to reach the record of the most consecutive wins in the history of the V-League women's division, which Hyundai Engineering & Construction set twice in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.
Chung, who put the brakes on Heungkuk Life Insurance's winning streak, was the team that blocked Hyundai E&C, which was trying to secure the most consecutive wins in the V-League (16) in 2022. Some volleyball fans call it the "Greatest Jersey Team." 스포츠토토
Volleyball officials evaluate, "It is a team that can not only block the milestone, but also block Heungkuk Life Insurance or Hyundai Engineering & Construction's challenge to win the championship."
Considering Chung's current momentum, he reminds us of Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had won 14 consecutive games in the opening period, or Hyundai Engineering & Construction, the champion of last season. On the same day, Chung also gave Heungkuk Life its first defeat of the season, with a whopping 54 points combined by the top foreign duo Bukirich and Mega.
The two scored 56 points against Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which had won three consecutive games on the 12th, winning the full set (25-20 25-238-25 27-29 15-7).
Veteran setter Yeom Hye-sun signed autographs with head coach Ko Hee-jin and served to shake Kim Yeon-koung, the core of Heungkuk Life, and used domestic players such as Jung Ho-young to draw points when checks on foreign duos were concentrated.
Jeong Kwan-jang, who has become a strong team to catch a strong team, is raising interest in the league by building a "complete body" and showing off his potential to shake up the structure of Heungkuk Life Insurance and Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
