In the second set, Lee So-young, who was still quiet, also survived, and Lutz also succeeded in opening attacks and winning.
In the fourth set, the reversal was repeated before the reversal. However, Hyundai E&C’s last-minute feelings were strong. Hyundai E&C, which was behind 14-17, succeeded in catching up with Rousseau’s back attack, opponent’s offense, and Jung Ji-yoon’s consecutive attack points. However, after a close match with Deuce, GS won and led the game to the final set.
At the beginning of the 5th set, Hyundai E&C made 8-4 with Yang Hyo-jin’s open and Ko Ye-rim’s sub-ace. However, GS also made 9-9 with persistent defense, Lutz’s attack, and Moon Ji-yoon’s blocking. After the defense, Lee So-young succeeded in overturning with open and blocking. Until the end, I ended the game with Lee So-young’s outstanding performance.
GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun said, “In the 3rd set, I changed the positions of Civilization and Moon Ji-yoon with the thought of lowering Rousseau’s success rate. The players endured well until the end and won, but there is a regrettable part in the middle, so there is a part to be coordinated with Ahn Hye-jin. I think” he said. Coach Cha said, “You can try the tactic of turning Kang So-hui to the center in the 3rd set, depending on the situation. In today’s game, the opponent’s defense and receiving seemed to be good.”
Coach Cha said, “I expected the blocking of civilization and the attack power of Moon Ji-yoon, but it was a bit insufficient, but even if I make a mistake, I will grow through that experience.”
Hyundai E&C manager Lee Do-hee said, “I was pushed from the decision to attack. Overall, the serve went well, and the other served well endured and played a good game. In the last 5 sets, setter Kim Da-in’s choice was a bit disappointing, so I think I have to talk more.” Director Lee said, “Overall, Kim Da-in was okay, but physically, I felt like he fell from the 3rd and 4th sets, so I changed it. It is growing, but when he was ahead of the 5th set, the part where he couldn’t target the opponent’s lower blocking side needs to grow.” did.
