PROFESSIONAL VOLLEYBALL PLAYER JEONG KWAN-JANG DEFEATS GS CALTEX AND GOES DIRECTLY TO PO... 7 CONSECUTIVE WINS IN 15 YEARS

I am thrilled to advance to the PO after 8 years since the 2016-2017 season.

Jeong Kwan-jang of the professional volleyball women's team won a direct ticket to the playoffs (PO), where the 2nd and 3rd place in the regular league compete.

Jeong Kwan-Jang defeated GS Caltex with a set score of 3-0 (25-13 25-21 25-19) in the Dodram 2023-2024 V League Women's home game held at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 7th, raising the possibility of making the semi-playoffs (quasi-PO) was eliminated. 파워볼

The semi-PO is completed when the 3rd and 4th place teams finish the regular league with a gap of 3 points or less.

Even if 3rd place Cheongkwanjang (20 wins, 14 losses, 61 points) fails to add points in the remaining two games, and 4th place GS Caltex (18 wins, 16 losses, 51 points) adds 6 points in the remaining two games, the gap between the two teams is only 1 point.

It cannot be narrowed down to 3 or less.

With this victory, Cheong Kwan-Jang recorded 7 consecutive wins for the first time in 15 years since the 2008-2009 season.

It has been 8 years since the 2016-2017 season that he became a PO.

The PO opponent has not been decided yet.

It will depend on the results of the remaining games between 1st place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (24 wins, 9 losses, 74 points) and 2nd place Heungkuk Life Insurance (26 wins, 7 losses, 73 points).

GS Caltex, which was fighting for the lead at the beginning of the season, lost its momentum due to the physical problems of main gun So-Hwi Kang and the poor performance of Asian quarter players, putting an end to its bid for the presidency.

The game was bland.

Cheong Kwan-Jang, who was on a steady winning streak, pushed GS Caltex fiercely from the beginning of the game.

‘Double guns’ Megawatti Pertiwi (registered name Mega) and Giovanna Milana (registered name Zia) attacked like bombers.

Zia scored 8 points with an attack success rate of 77.78% in the first set, and Mega scored 7 points with an attack success rate of 87.50%.

Bad news came out in the second set.

At 2-1, Korean striker Lee So-young sprained his left ankle while landing after blocking and came off.

Soyoung Lee complained of extreme pain and was taken out on a stretcher.

Although the situation was chaotic, Director Jeong did not lose concentration.

The match continued to be one-sided, beating GS Caltex by a large margin in the second set.

Zia and Mega led the attack in the second set, taking responsibility for 12 of the team's 17 points.

In the 3rd set, they defeated GS Caltex with the power of height.

Jeong Ho-young at 12-11 and Park Eun-jin at 13-11 consecutively blocked the attack of the opposing team's main gun, Giselle Silva (registered name Silva), widening the score gap.

In 17-15, Mega and Zia succeeded in successive rearguard attacks and lost the chase.

Jia scored 22 points, the most in the team, and Mega scored 19 points.
