On this day, Korean Air came up with a strategy to destroy KEPCO's receiving with a strong serve and block the opponent's attack route.

This worked exactly.

Korean Air overwhelmed KEPCO in the serve with a 4-0 serve ace, and also took a significant lead in blocking with 14-6.

In addition, Lim Dong-hyuk led the attack, scoring the most points for both teams with 22 points and an attack success rate of 64.52%, showing a performance worthy of foreign players.

Jeong Ji-seok, Kim Gyu-min, and Han Seo-seok each recorded three blocks, and Kim Min-jae and Kwak Seung-seok also scored two blocking points each.

KEPCO, mired in three consecutive losses, remained in 5th place with 14 wins, 14 losses, and 41 points.

KEPCO, which could have jumped to 3rd place, within range of spring volleyball, by earning 3 points on this day, was overwhelmed by Korean Air in both offense and defense and ended up falling victim to the opponent's jump to the lead.

In the first set, Korean Air took the lead with Lim Dong-hyuk's strong rear attack.

With a 10-9 lead, Lim Dong-hyuk used three back attacks to immediately make it 13-10.

At 14-13, 3 of the opponent's errors and Lim Dong-hyuk's 2 points were combined to advance to 20-13 and secure the first set victory.

In the second set, Kwak Seung-seok blocked Seo Jae-deok's attack to make it 3-1, and Jeong Ji-seok immediately scored on serve.

At 8-6, Kim Min-jae and Han Seon-su made two consecutive blocks, completely breaking KEPCO's will to chase.

KEPCO, which was on the brink, changed the setter from Ha Seung-woo to Kim Gwang-guk, but it did not have much effect, and Korean Air easily defeated KEPCO, which had lost its fighting spirit, 25-17 and took 3 points.

In the women's match held at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon, Jung Kwan-Jang defeated Korea Expressway Corporation 3-1 (25-23 25-23 20-25 25-21).

CheongKwanJang, ranked 4th with 14 wins, 14 losses, and 44 points on the season, trailed GS Caltex, which ranked 3rd (16 wins, 11 losses, 45 points), which had played one less game, by one point.

The 5th round match between GS Caltex and Cheong Kwan Jang, held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 21st, is expected to be a decisive match that will decide the fate of both teams.

In the first set, Cheong Gwan-jang was unable to escape due to the monotonous attack relying on the three wing strikers of Giovanna Milana (registered name: Zia), Lee So-young, and Megawatti Puttiwi (registered name: Mega) despite the Road Corporation's repeated attacks.

At the last minute, middle blocker Jeong Ho-young's quick break broke out and the team took a breather.

Cheong Kwan-Jang, who had a hard time winning the first set thanks to Jia's consecutive time-lag attack scores, took a comfortable lead in the second set thanks to the pairing of Jia and Mega, but was chased away in the second half of the set.

This time, Hoyoung Jeong accumulated a set point with a touchout score following a fast break, and Jia finished with a quick open score at 24-23.

After giving up the third set, Zia roared as the solution to the fierce battle that continued until the end of the fourth set.

At 21-20, Jia scored an exquisite serve ace over the right endline, and at 23-20, he blocked the attack of road construction company Banya Bukiric (registered name Bukiric) with his best defense.

Ji-ah smiled brighter as Lee So-young took advantage of this ball and accumulated match point.

Ji-ah scored 23 points, Mega scored 22 points, and Lee So-young added 16 points, taking responsibility for Cheong Kwan-Jang's 3 points.

SK is the Winner of the Basketball Holiday S-Derby.

Heo Il-young Explodes with 28 Points… SK is the Winner of the Professional Basketball ‘Holiday S-Derby’

‘Wanido 3 points, 5 shots’ SK wins 10th straight win over Samsung… Samsung Coburn's 28-point effort, Bath's 41 points and 16 rebounds... KT catches Cheong Kwan-jang and wins 5 times in a row, and DB, which is in full swing with Lawson and Kang Sang-jae, also wins by 15 points... Sono's 6th consecutive loss

Seoul SK defeated Seoul Samsung and laughed in the professional basketball 'S-Derby' held during the Lunar New Year holiday.

SK defeated Samsung 80-70 in the away game of the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Regular League held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on the 11th.

As a result, SK achieved 10 consecutive wins in the S-Derby between Seoul-based teams. 안전놀이터

SK has never lost to Samsung since the home game on December 6, 2022 (83-76).

This season, they have won all 5 games.

SK, which won 25 wins and 15 losses, beat 4th place Changwon LG (25 wins, 16 losses) by half a game and rose to 3rd place, continuing the fierce competition for the top rankings at the end of the season.

Samsung (8 wins), which suffered its 33rd loss, has further reduced its chances of escaping last place.

If we finish last this season, we will have the disgrace of being last for three consecutive seasons.

Before this game, Samsung, which had been on the rise by recording 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 games against powerhouses such as Busan KCC and LG, finished the first half with a score of 35-35 and showed an unrivaled performance against SK.

It was SK's main gun Jamil Warney who broke Samsung's momentum.

Warney, who scored 19 points in the first half alone, hit two 3-pointers in less than a minute as Samsung, led by 210cm tall center Kofi Coburn, ran away with a 5-point lead in the early third quarter.

On this day, when Warney exploded on the outside, Samsung acting manager Kim Hyo-beom brought in Ismael Lane in place of Coburn, whose weak point was defense on the outside.

However, Heo Il-young hit two 3-pointers in the third quarter, and SK ran away with a double-digit score for the first time at the end of the third quarter.

Samsung pursued until the last minute, led by Coburn, who scored 16 points in the fourth quarter alone, but the score gap was too large to turn the game around.

In SK, Warney, who hit five 3-pointers, was recorded as the highest scorer with 30 points.

Veteran shooter Heo Il-young also added 28 points, scoring both inside and outside, including five 3-pointers.

At Samsung, Coburn played hard with 28 points and 10 rebounds, but was disappointed by his poor performance on the outside.

Samsung threw 23 3-pointers on this day, but only 5 hit the rim.

Suwon KT defeated Anyang Jeonggwanjang 90-77 at home and won 5 games in a row.

KT, with 27 wins and 13 losses, has increased its chances of finishing second in the regular league.

In professional basketball, the 1st and 2nd place teams advance directly to the semifinals PO without going through the semifinal playoffs (PO).

The gap with 3rd place SK is 2 games.

On the other hand, 8th place Cheong Kwan Jang (13 wins, 27 losses) suffered 6 consecutive losses.

Cheong Kwan-Jang succeeded in reducing the score gap that widened to 21 points in the early third quarter to 5 points in the middle of the fourth quarter.

However, about 6 minutes before the end of the game, Jeong Hyo-geun missed an easy goal shot and the 3-pointer he threw again fell without even passing the rim, leading to KT's fast break and losing momentum in the chase.

In the next attack, Paris Bass made a cool dunk shot, and KT ran away with a double-digit score again, putting the game on hold.

In KT, Bass took the lead in victory with 41 points and 16 rebounds.

Domestic players such as Ha Yoon-ki (13 points), Jeong Seong-woo (11 points), and Han Hee-won (10 points) also played their part.

Wonju DB also won 89-74 at home, putting 9th place Goyang Sono (13 wins, 28 losses) in the throes of a 6-game losing streak.

DB, with 32 wins and 10 losses, took the lead by maintaining the gap with 2nd place KT at 4 games.

‘Double Four’ Didric Lawson and Kang Sang-jae scored 21 points and 7 rebounds and 20 points and 11 rebounds, respectively, to get under Sono’s goal.

Center Jeff Withey also recorded 15 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 blocks, keeping DB under goal.

In Sono, the guard team worked hard, with Lee Jeong-hyun recording 20 points and 6 assists, and Han Ho-bin and Kim Ji-hoo adding 12 and 10 points, but they were greatly outclassed by DB in the big man battle.

Combining the forward and center, only Chinanu Onuaku did his part with 15 points and 9 rebounds, but no one else scored in double digits.

Advice From 39-Year-Old Shooter Heo Il-young.

Advice From 39-Year-Old Shooter Heo Il-young... “If you’re going to Shoot Without Confidence, Sit on the Bench”

A 28-point explosion, including 3 points and 5 hits against Samsung... Look at Taejong Moon’s record of playing until he was 43 years old.

Heo Il-young is ranked third in age in professional basketball.

Ham Ji-hoon of Ulsan Hyundai Mobis was born in 1984 and is the oldest player this season. 바카라사이트

Next are Woo-seop Yang and Il-young Heo of Seoul SK.

Both were born in 1985, but Yang Woo-seop has an earlier birthday.

Heo Il-young has already become a veteran among veterans, but his ‘fingertips’ are still alive.

Heo Il-young, who left the team due to injury in early December last year, returned to the court this month.

He scored 17 points in the home game against Anyang CheongKwanJang on the 10th, and scored 28 points in the away game against Seoul Samsung on the 11th.

Janggi 3-pointer also hit 5 shots.

Heo Il-young, who is in his 15th season in professional basketball, expressed the idea that a professional player must step onto the court with confidence.

Heo Il-young, who met with reporters at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul immediately after beating Samsung 80-70, said, “I don't go in when I don't have confidence.

Whether I go in or not, I have to throw first. If a player can't throw, it's right to sit on the bench instead of running.” He emphasized.

Heo Il-young said, “Now that I have more years of experience, I can see what other players are like.

Everyone can tell when they go in well and when they don’t,” and added, “There are players who are confident even though they didn’t go in, and there are players who are hesitant even though they made a shot before.

“I wish that wasn’t the case,” he said.

He added, “If you don't go in, you can go out (to the bench) and come back in and throw.”

Heo Il-young chose his teammate Oh Jae-hyun as a player who shoots with confidence in practice.

Jaehyun Oh has been criticized for his weak shooting since he entered the professional ranks.

Unlike other players, he had a unique shooting posture in which he twisted his body to shoot, so he received many doubts as to whether he could correct it.

However, the player who participated in the All-Star Game 3-point contest as the ‘SK representative shooter’ this season was Oh Jae-hyun.

Oh Jae-hyeon won a ticket to the finals, which was given to only 4 out of 13 contestants in the 3-point contest preliminary round, and proudly got rid of the label of 'weak shooting.'

Heo Il-young praised Jae-hyeon, saying, “It seems like Jae-hyun has overcome (lack of confidence) well.

I can see that he has gained confidence when shooting in contests as well.”

Regarding Oh Jae-hyeon's unique shooting posture, he said, “I don't care about posture.

Even in American professional basketball, there are many players who have poor shooting posture but are good at shooting,” and repeatedly emphasized, “Confidence is important.”

Heo Il-young, who only wanted to play until he was 40, is said to have revised his original goal.

He looks over the records of Taejong Moon.

Shooter Taejong Moon, born to an American father and a Korean mother, began playing in Korean professional basketball in the 2010-2011 season and played for 9 seasons until the 2018-2019 season.

He played until the age of 43.

Heo Il-young said, “As long as I take good care of my body, there will be no problem.

Even then, if I am competitive, I still have the desire to play.” Heo Il-young said, “Now, I am no longer excluded from the team because I am older, as I used to be.

Coach Jeon Hee-cheol also said that he will not judge based on age.” He said.

He smiled and said, “Honestly, it's hard.

The day after the game, my whole body feels sore, starting from my waist.

If I don't get greedy and play without getting injured, there will be a team looking for me and I want to do that for one more year.”
