There could be enough set-score 0-3 defeat. However, it is rare to lose 24-26 by giving up five points after leading 24-21. GS Caltex suffered a shocking come-from-behind loss to Heungkuk Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which ended its second consecutive loss in the opening period.
GS Caltex lost the set score 0-3 (20-25, 18-25, 24-26) in an away game against Heungkuk Life in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 24th. It is the second consecutive shutdown defeat since losing 0-3 to Jeong Kwan-jang in the first game of the season on the 20th.
This defeat is even more painful. This is because he led 24-21 in the third set to set points and lost 24-26 to give up the game. Ace Silva made consecutive offensive mistakes when he could finish the game and was chased 24-23, and after allowing 24-24 deuce due to Tutku's attack, he changed his offensive route to Weiler, but even this failed, allowing Kim Dae-eun to make consecutive spikes and losing.
As it happened in an instant, GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek was also shocked. I had no choice but to do the interview with a mournful look on my face.
Manager Lee said "I think the connection to the strikers was also a little inaccurate because it was shaking a lot in receiving and defense." In the end, I think I lost the decision-making battle."
Lee Yoon-shin replaced Kim Ji-won, the main setter, on the day, but neither of them was able to distribute the ball as expected. Director Lee "Overall, I think the control is bad. I tried to target the opponent's blocking to the lower side, but since the receiving was shaking.... In such a situation, the point is to raise it accurately so that the striker can decide, but Kim Ji-won and Lee Yun-shin also seem to have been insufficient"
In particular, Lee and the players will be shocked by the upset loss by giving them five points after leading 24-21 in the third set.
Manager Lee said, `I think I'm swept away by the atmosphere because there are a lot of young players. We had a chance, but a mistake came out of the connection, and when we were turned around, it was a connection in the end. Today, the connection didn't go as I practiced at all."
GS Caltex, which has lost two consecutive games, will play its home opener against Hyundai Engineering & Construction, the winner of last season, at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 27th. Manager Lee said, "As it's the opening game at home, I'll prepare well."," he said emphatically.
