Samsung Chemicals is in trouble.
Samsung Fire lost to Korean Air 1-3 (25-23, 24-26, 20-25, 18-25) in the sixth round of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League Men’s Division at 토토사이트 순위 Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium on Wednesday.
The leap in ranking will have to wait until next time. Yosvani Hernandez (real name Yosvani) scored 28 points, but his attack percentage dropped as the set went on. After boasting 66.67% in the first set, his percentage dropped to 30% in the fourth set.
Kim Woo-jin followed Yosubani with 15 points, but was out-blocked 32-26, out-served 2-7 and out-blocked 3-6.
“Not only Yosubani but also Kim Jung-ho is struggling physically,” said Samsung Fire head coach Kim Sang-woo, revealing that the team was struggling with physical strength. On the day, Kim scored just four points and his offensive efficiency was zero percent. “Jung-ho showed a good performance in the last game against Hyundai Capital, but he has dropped a lot compared to the beginning of the season. In addition, his height from the center to the sides has also dropped. It’s getting harder every game,” he added.
For the second straight game, the team started Lee Jae-hyun. While he played two sets in the last match against Hyundai Capital, he played three sets this time, gradually increasing his playing time.
“Even when the reception is shaky and the defense is difficult, he runs quickly and distributes the ball well,” said Kim Sang-woo. She has a lot of strengths. However, I could see that she was shaken up because her fastballs in difficult moments led to errors, but she did a good job,” he encouraged.
Samsung Fire was at the top of the standings at the beginning of the season, but has now fallen to fifth place. They need to not only win but also manage their points in the remaining five matches to look forward to spring volleyball.
Will Samsung Fire be able to rebound in the remaining six rounds?
