The prestigious Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, who has won the most pro volleyball V-League men’s championships, is having the most severe winter since the team was founded. Due to the serial sluggishness of foreign players Bartek (30) and domestic players, he only won 2 wins in the first 14 games of the 2020-2021 season. He even fell into seven consecutive losses from the Korean Air War on the 19th of last month to the OK Financial Group on the 13th. This was the tie record for the team’s most consecutive defeats at Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and in the end, it gave a very weak prescription for Bartec’s exit. However, it was also possible that this decision would lead to a longer consecutive defeat. Matteus (23), who played for KB Insurance in the past, has been newly recruited, but due to the period of self-quarantine, he has to play only as a domestic player for the time being.
However, the drastic change rather stimulated the domestic players, and as a result, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance completely destroyed KB Insurance with a set score of 3-0 (25-22 25-22 25-16) at the home game held at Daejeon Chungmu Gymnasium on the 17th. Escaped 7 consecutive losses. While Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance ended a terrible losing streak and won 3 wins (12 losses) in the season, KB Insurance fell into a pit of 3 consecutive losses.
The team was led by Kim Dong-young (24), a left-handed right-handed striker in the second year who filled Bartek’s vacancy. Kim Dong-young, who had been playing only with a one-point server and took the opportunity for the first start on this day, predicted a change by raising 7 points with a 78% attack success rate in the first set only with a quick swing, and eventually scored 18 points. (26) supported the back with 11 points, with four blocking and sub-aces. In defense, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance completely blocked the opponent’s attack by blocking Keita (19), the main gun of KB Insurance, with a success rate of 35.71% and 18 points. In the end, amid the unexpected performance of new players and the propaganda of defense, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance ended the game by winning three sets in a row.
