Kim Yeon-kyung (Heungkuk Life) led her team to victory with a pure performance against GS Caltex on March 31. Despite her overwhelming performance, she admitted that she was physically exhausted.
Heungkuk Life defeated GS Caltex in straight sets 3-0 (25-22 26-24 25-23) in their Dodram 2023-2024 V-League Women's Division match at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea.
Kim Yeon-kyung led the way with 18 points on the day, including three back-attacks, one interception and one service ace. This was the second-highest total on the team behind Yelena's 19 points. 카지노사이트가이드
She hit 69.57% of her attacks and committed just one error. "One attack error is a big number," head coach Marcello Abondanza said in the post-match interview, "and I think it's because setter Lee Won-jung did a good job of holding the toss and making good attack choices."
Kim Yeon-kyung also applauded Lee Won-jung, saying, "If the setter's ball comes well, the probability of hitting it well increases. Receiving also played a role," he said, "After all, it's a team sport, and you have to help someone to create a situation."
After losing the previous match in straight sets, Kim Yeon-kyung came out sharpened for GS Caltex. "We missed the last match, which we won, so the players reflected and watched the game again to see what didn't work," he said. "If we lose our focus or performance, they will counterattack, so I thought we can win if we stay focused. We prepared for the GS and I think each of us did a good job."
Despite his dominance at the age of 35, he admitted that there are physical demands on his body. "I think there will be a burden in the physical part and I feel tight," he said, "I think the physical part will be hard because there are many matches in December."
On the day, Kim almost fell while trying to congratulate Yelena during the match. "I felt so good (after scoring) that I tried to hug her, but she fell. I must have been heavy," Kim said, adding, "I knew I shouldn't hug her now."
