There is no breakthrough in sight. KB Insurance coach Hu In-jeong’s concerns are also growing. 슬롯머신
KB Insurance has lost nine consecutive games since winning the opening match of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League. In the game against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance held at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 19th, they lost three sets even after winning two sets first, and suffered a 2-3 reversal of set scores. It is also difficult to have a long losing streak, but it has become a victim of a dramatic defeat, so it is more hurt than ever.
The ranking tells the current situation of KB Insurance. KB Insurance is at the bottom of the table even after one more game than the other six teams. With one win, nine losses and seven points, it is behind KEPCO (9 points) and Hyundai Capital (8 points).
To make matters worse, Hwang Kyung-min, a domestic ace outside heater, cannot play for about a month. Hwang Kyung-min, who was replaced after injuring his rib in the last Woori Card match, was diagnosed with a fracture and needs rest.
Hwang Kyung-min was responsible for an average of 13.22 points per game with a high attack success rate of 60.37 percent this season. Hwang Kyung-min, who played his part in defense with 39.38% receiving efficiency, is not expected to play at least five to six games.
In the absence of Hwang Kyung-min, coach Hu offered Liu Hong-min and Hong Sang-hyuk as outside heater selection cards in the match against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance. But the offense was not enough. Liu Hong-min, who started all five sets, scored only seven points, and Hong Sang-hyuk scored four points until the second set, and was replaced by Bae Sang-jin because the attack did not work. Bae Sang-jin scored five points with a 27.27% attack success rate. It was a game in which none of the outside heaters were responsible for double-digit scores.
The load is entirely on Villena. Villena’s attack share in the fifth set against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance reached a whopping 76.92%. Villena was responsible for eight points with a 70% attack success rate, but the result was a loss. Coach Hu said, “With Hwang Kyung-min out, the success rate was too low on the outside heater side. It’s too much for Villena alone,” he sighed.
It’s a mountain beyond a mountain. KB Insurance has to play the final schedule of the second round with KEPCO on the 24th and OK Financial Group on the 29th. KEPCO has been on the rise with a recent winning streak, and OK Financial Group is likely to struggle with KB Insurance in Sangseong with a high-rise team. The number of consecutive losses is on the verge of increasing further.
