“Looking at it, they were tossing and turning.”
GS Caltex Han Su-ji is currently leading the women’s blocking league with 0.79 blocks per set. They are fighting fiercely with Hyundai Engineering & Construction Yang Hyo-jin (0.74) and Korea Expressway Corporation Jeong Dae-young (0.73). 0.79 is a personal career high. It ranked 3rd in the 2016-17 season, 4th in the 2017-18 season, 4th in the 2018-19 season, 3rd in the 2019-20 season, and 7th in the 2021-22 season.
Han Su-ji started playing the middle blocker position from the 2016-17 season. Before that, he was a setter. He made a name for himself as a tall setter, but even after converting to a middle blocker, he is showing a solid appearance.
In the match against KGC Ginseng Corporation held at home on the 9th, he recorded 8 blocks, the most in an individual game. In particular, it blocked 5 and 3 attacks from opponent ace Elisabeth Ine Barga (registered name Elisabeth) and Lee So-young, respectively.
After the game, GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun said, “He is an indispensable player for our team. As the eldest sister, she always does her part reliably.”
Han Su-ji laughed, saying, “These days, the battle for rankings is fierce, so I often look at the records, but every time I go in, the rankings are always up and down.” At the same time, he said, “I still think that the offensive power is not enough to be called a perfect middle blocker. He is going to practice hard,” he added.
Han Su-ji’s partner is always struggling. He can’t fill a spot. Yu-ri Kim is injured, Se-yeon Oh has yet to settle down. Kim Bo-bin and Yun-gyeol have not played in a single game as rookie players this season. Kim Joo-hee, who joined last season, has yet to make her professional debut.
He said, “There is no problem because everyone takes turns practicing. Every player has their pros and cons. Whenever necessary, the director puts it in the right place.” 바카라사이트
GS Caltex’s early season was not smooth. As the main players’ injuries and sluggishness overlapped, it was difficult to fight for the rankings. The 2020-21 season treble was created, and the atmosphere of winning the cup competition before the start of the season could not be continued.
Han Su-ji also said, “I’ve had good grades over the past few seasons, and I’ve played well in cup competitions, and my morale has risen. However, as the season went on and there were many losses, the atmosphere in the team subsided. It didn’t go well no matter what I did. Eating out or having a snack did not go well. However, as we win game after game, it becomes a turning point and the mood seems to be set. I think there will be better results.”
Suji Han is the captain of GS Caltex. Also, as Oh Ji-young left for Pepper Savings Bank, he is currently the only remaining member of the team from the 1980s.
“The players and the atmosphere are good,” he said. He has many words like the MZ generation, but his juniors are following him well. Hyejin was chosen as the ‘military commander’. If you just peck Hyejin, the juniors seem to follow suit,” he laughed.
