Hyundai E&C, which had a 16-game winning streak in the opening game, stagnated with 6 wins and 4 losses in 10 games played without Yasmin. Fortunately, Heungkuk Life Insurance, led by ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung, also kept first place while experiencing measles due to the hardship of the manager and manager.

Team pillar Yang Hyo-jin also took center stage with 15 points, including 3 blocks, and Jung Ji-yoon also helped with 12 points.
After the game, GS Caltex coach Sang-Hyun Cha praised them, saying, “I thought Hyundai E&C’s players were seasoned” and “looked flawless like a top team.” Director Cha admitted defeat, saying, “I tried to stop Hwang Yeon-joo, but Yang Hyo-jin and Jung Ji-yoon came back to life.”
Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Seong-hyeong said, “It’s fortunate that players such as Hwang Yeon-joo and Yang Hyo-jin have recovered their stamina.” Then, he said with a satisfied expression, “Yang Hyo-jin held out in the center, and the share of attack was distributed well to Hwang Yeon-joo and Jung Ji-yoon.” On this day, Hyundai E&C showed an even attack share, including Hwang Yeon-ju (31.68%), Jeong Ji-hoon (22.77%), Hwang Min-kyung (10 points, 19.8%), and Yang Hyo-jin (16.83%).
Hyundai E&C is considering replacing Yasmin, who shows signs of a prolonged back injury. However, even without Yasmin, Hyundai E&C is doing well with 7 wins and 4 losses. Captain Hwang Min-kyung said 카지노사이트, “Hwang Yeon-joo is so good at it, so it’s okay even without an outsider,” and made a determined expression, saying, “It doesn’t matter which player comes at that time, and we have no choice but to do our best in what we can do.”
Next, Hwang Min-kyung said, “When there is no outsider, the other person is sick of it, so I asked to bite and stretch with the thought of making it tough.” He then hinted, “The opponent is like a fluorescent zombie,” and “Why do you think you’re going to die but don’t die?”
But I also need an outsider with a room. Coach Kang said, “I wish the players’ stamina would last forever, but that’s not the case,” and said, “I think (foreign replacements and substitute players) will be decided sooner or later.”
Hwang Yeon-joo also stuck out her tongue, saying, “I hope that a foreign player will come soon.” She continued, “The mindset of the players is different when there are outsiders and when there are no outsiders.”
Even without foreign main guns, Hyundai E&C is maintaining the top spot with only native players. It remains to be seen what kind of outsider will give them wings.
