For Hyundai Capital, which had 18 consecutive wins and two wins left, the game against KB Insurance on the 5th was seen as a crisis. KB Insurance ranks third, but it has a strong track record. Setter Hwang Taek-ui and foreign player Biyena, although Hyundai Capital won all the games until the fourth round this season. This is because the offensive line with Na Kyung-bok of the national team is threatening enough. The atmosphere is also in good shape with three consecutive wins.
If he beat KB Insurance on the same day, he would be able to challenge the record of 18 consecutive wins in the KEPCO match on the 8th, and if he beat that game, he would be able to challenge the record of 19 consecutive wins in the OK Savings Bank match on the 13th.
However, Hyundai Capital's challenge unfortunately stopped at 16 consecutive wins. It lost to KB Insurance. Shockingly, they lost 0-3 (18-25, 20-25, 21-25) without winning a set. It was a ridiculous complete defeat with no fierce battle until the third set. It was a never-before-seen Hyundai Capital.
Previously, Hyundai Capital lost only twice. It lost to KEPCO by 2 to 3 on Nov. 6 and to Woori Card by 0 to 3 on Nov. 23. When we lost 0-3 to Woori Card, we had a close game of deuce in all three sets. It was the first time such a shocking defeat had occurred on the day.
The most reliable double guns were sluggish. Leo, who is considered the best foreign player, scored only 10 points, had 7 mistakes, and Heo Soo-bong also scored 14 points, but had 9 mistakes. Even if the score was raised, the game was inevitably difficult as the score was lost by mistake.
Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc said in an interview before the game that he didn't care about the record of winning consecutive games. Director Philip "I'm not looking at the record. Our team is KB Insurance, which can go to the playoffs. It's a team you can meet in the championship game." "You're looking at the record, but I'm not looking at the record. Winning with a good game, I want to overhaul it well and show why we are at the top. Nevertheless, if I could write a record, it might be good news for you, but not for me."
He suffered a shocking complete defeat, and coach Philip Blanc appeared to be a little relaxed in the interview after the game. Director Blanc said "First of all, congratulations to KB Insurance."He showed such a good performance today. There were no serve mistakes, and Villena won well by taking various offensive courses." First, he congratulated the opponent.
Director Blanc then said "It wasn't who we were originally." Heo Soo-bong did not attack well on the left and did not receive well, so he did not make good use of his fastball. He also calmly commented on the day's game, saying, "I blocked well at the beginning of the first set, but I couldn't even do that later."
Coach Blanc also viewed the loss positively. "Nevertheless, it seemed a little timely defeat"There is always no guarantee that we can win every time we come on the court. I think our players will be able to reorganize again with today's defeat."
