Hyundai Engineering & Construction won the KOVO Cup semifinals against IBK Industrial Bank of Korea at Tongyeong Gymnasium on the 5th with a set score of 3-0 (25-23, 25-10, 25-17) to complete the shutdown.
With this victory, Hyundai Engineering & Construction will compete with Jeong Kwan-jang for the cup championship on the 6th. It is the first re-challenge in three years since 2021 and the fifth career championship.
The Industrial Bank of Korea won the set score 3-1 after a bloody battle with Heungkuk Life Insurance the previous day. It was only 20 hours after the game the previous day. There was a limit to the recovery of one's physical strength.
Kim Ho-chul, the head coach of Industrial Bank of Korea, met before the game, said "I gave him a break in the morning. We only had a team meeting. I told him to play with confidence." Then "It's a very exhausting situation. I think it depends on the first set. If you win the first set, you will gain some strength, but if you lose, you may collapse as a whole"I expected.
"Hyundai Engineering & Construction is a defending champion, and there has been no change in players at all. It is true that it is superior to us in terms of power. The challenge is how to break down the opponent's texture in the future. It's not easy when Moma-Yang Hyo-jin starts to move."

"The Industrial Bank of Korea is a team with strong organizational power. Victoria's decision was also good. "I don't think he's a player who catches it with power and hits a cross, and he felt like he was good at targeting the course."
He said "No team is 100% in condition. We also emphasized that Moma, Yang Hyo-jin, Jung Ji-yoon, and others were not fully raised, but they got better even before the road construction game. "It is encouraging that their form is gradually increasing ahead of the season."
Industrial Bank of Korea has a team color that is as good in organization as Hyundai Engineering & Construction and has a strong defense. Therefore, it is also a team that struggles with Hyundai Engineering & Construction compared to its power during the regular season.

However, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's potential has been there since then. Yang Hyo-jin and Moma's consecutive points, Wipawi's blocking, and Kim Da-in's serve ace, aiming for the opponent's mistakes and gaps, quickly turned it over 21-20. Moma's consecutive goals immediately finished the first set.
The second set was overwhelming. He won the first five consecutive points against the discouraged Industrial Bank of Korea to take a 5-0 lead. The Industrial Bank of Korea's mistakes poured into Hyundai Engineering & Construction's high blocking and solid defense, and it quickly widened to 14-3, 19-7. The Industrial Bank of Korea prepared for the next set by replacing the main players early.

Will Hyundai Engineering & Construction eventually gradually make the difference between 9-8, 13-9, 21-14??He also showed off his composure to widely utilize Go, Ye-rim, Na Hyun-soo, and other concerns. In the end, it ended with a complete victory for Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
