The volleyball empress's bid to win the title, which she had been desperate enough to postpone her retirement, was thwarted once again. Moreover, as the team was criticized for her attitude after the game, Kim Yeon-koung's future course of action was put into a fog.

Heungkuk Life lost to Hyundai Engineering & Construction with a set score of 2-3 (25-22, 17-25, 25-23, 23-25, 7-15) in the third round of the women's postseason championship game of the Dodram 2023-2024 season at Samsan World Gymnasium in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon on the 1st. 온라인카지노사이트

It was a disappointing setback in terms of the process alone. Willow Johnson (registered Willow) who had been disappointed due to ups and downs in each match scored 30 points with his attack success rate of 41.54 percent, while Kim Yeon-koung and Raina Tokoku (registered name Raina) also contributed by 23 points each. Again this time, they failed to maintain their concentration until the end. From the start of the fifth set, Heungkuk Life Insurance players showed lackluster performance. In three consecutive full set matches, Hyundai E&C had to win the title by the biggest margin. It was the second consecutive defeat in championship finals following last season.

For Kim, she scored 74 points in three championship matches, including 23 points, but failed again. It is already the third setback since she returned to Heungkuk Life Insurance in the 2020-2021 season after playing in overseas leagues for a long time.

However, the loss was foreseen in the words of Heungkuk Life coach Marcello Avondanji after the match. Avondanji, who praised Hyundai Engineering & Construction of the opposing team, said, "My expectations were different from them at the beginning of the season. It has nothing to do with the result. As a foreign coach, I tried to try new things and make changes. However, it was regrettable that not many players in the team attempted different things to grow or change."

"When I look at players like Kim Yeon-koung and Kim Su-ji, it's not about age. Rather than the technical aspect, I couldn't afford to change things mentally. There were several players who tried to change like Do Soo-bin and Park Soo-yeon, but none of them tried to change overall. Therefore, I think the result itself (second place for two consecutive years) is natural. If such a result is achieved for two consecutive years, we need to fix it. It is clearly wrong."

The remark was rather shocking. To sum up Avon Danza's words, most of Heungkuk Life's players lacked more urgency and effort than its predecessors, Kim Yeon-koung and Kim Su-ji.
