Jeong Kwan-jang fought well against Heungkuk Life Insurance, which tried to win six consecutive games in the absence of the main setter Yeom Hye-sun's injury, but it was not funny.
Jeong Kwan-jang lost the away match against Heungkuk Life Insurance in the 2024-25 V-League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 12th with a set score of 2-3 (26-24, 18-25, 21-25, 26-24, 10-15).
Against Heungkuk Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which had won its fifth consecutive game, negative news broke out even before the game. Yeom was absent on the day to protect his right knee. He plans to have a medical checkup on Tuesday. "Kim Chae-na and Ahn Ye-rim have prepared a lot. We expect that they will ease a lot of worries (due to the absence of Yeom's injury)," said Chung before the game.
Kim Chae-na and Ahn Ye-rim alternately coordinated the game, while Megawatti Puttiwi and Vanya Bukirich supported 28 and 22 points, respectively.
However, they were inferior to 9-13 in the blocking fight, which was their strength, and the serve ace was also behind 1-6.
Jeong was trailing 18-23 in the first set, but won 26-24 after a close game of deuce. He lost the second and third sets weakly, but overcame a 2-7 deficit in the fourth set to win the match, 26-24. He lost four points in a row in the fifth set 9-9.
"It looked insufficient (with Yeom Hye-sun missing), but we also fully confirmed the possibility," said Chung Kwan-jang coach Ko Hee-jin. "It's a pity that we couldn't solve the game smoothly because we made a basic mistake."
Chung, who advanced to the postseason for the first time in seven years last season, is considered one of the favorites to win this season. "It is regrettable that we lost the game. A coach cannot take solace in the fact that he has one point in the absence of a certain player," coach Ko Hee-jin said. "With that in mind, I cannot dream of becoming a champion." Chung finished the first round by ranking fourth with three wins and three losses (10 points), but has recently lost both to Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Heungkuk Life Insurance. 안전놀이터
"They must be disappointed. It was worse than during the practice," coach Ko Hee-jin said of Kim Chae-na and Ahn Ye-rim. "We have to overcome the pressure and pressure. After all, training is all we have to do."
