In front of the spring volleyball in three years', what points do you need?
Heungkuk Life Insurance and Industrial Bank of Korea will face off in the last six rounds of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League regular league at Hwaseong Indoor Gymnasium on the 5th. Heungkuk Life Insurance is in second place with 25 wins and 7 losses (70 points). The gap with Hyundai E&C (24 wins and 8 losses, 73 points) is only three points. Heungkuk Life has more wins. Heungkuk Life once again had a chance to take the lead, with Hyundai Engineering & Construction losing 2-3 to Jeonggwanjang in the previous game. If Heungkuk Life Insurance takes three points against IBK Industrial Bank, the lead player will change. However, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea also has a formidable record. Heungkuk Life is leading by winning all five matches in this season's matches, but all three to five rounds were in full set matches. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea will also play on the court hoping to play volleyball in the spring. There is a 12 point gap between IBK Industrial Bank of Korea (46 points), which ranks fifth, and Chung Kwan-jang (58 points), which ranks third. If the bank secures 12 points in the remaining four matches of the regular season, there is a possibility that it will play volleyball in the spring. Two desperately needed teams will face off. The competition for the ranking is in the fog until the end. The final showdown of this season between No. 1 Korean Air and No. 2 Woori Card is set to take place. Depending on the victory or defeat on the day, it will be possible to determine who will be the winner of the regular league. Korean Air, the home team, ranks first with 22 wins and 11 losses (67 points). It has been showing a good trend by winning eight consecutive games in recent months. Of course, it encountered many crisis moments while increasing the number of consecutive wins, but it has demonstrated the strength of a solid squad. Yoo Kwang-woo, Apogit Lim Dong-hyuk, and outside heater Jeong Han-yong were included in the setter, but they played in the best lineup. Jung Ji-seok and Kim Min-jae, who have recently entered the setter, returned to their best condition. Now they plan to play in the remaining games to reach the top of the regular league. Yoo Kwang-woo, who came as a substitute in the last Hyundai Capital match and led his team to victory by showing a set success rate of 52 percent, said, "It is one of 36 games, but if we win, we will be able to get closer to No. 1 in the regular league. We want to solve this problem ourselves," vowing to win the Woori Card match. The momentum of Woori Card, which is ranking second, is also deteriorating. It won the previous match with Korea Electric Power Corp. by shutting out, narrowing the gap with No. 1 Korean Air to four points. As it has played one game less than Korean Air, it still has a chance to regain No. 1 ranking in the regular league. Artem Sushko (registered name Artem), who joined the team as a substitute, was incorporated into the team for a short time. "I liked it when I caught the RBI and hit the team," Woori Card coach Shin Young-chul also said. "I trained myself to take Han Tae-joon's toss quickly, and I think I came back with a good result." Song has displayed considerable presence lately. He had been improving his position since the fifth round, and was named in the starting lineup for the first time in a year at the KEPCO match. Woori Card leads the two teams with three wins and two losses. However, since Woori Card won in the first to third rounds, Korean Air has won all four rounds.
