Heungkuk Life, who had fallen into a helpless streak in the previous four games due to the disciplinary gap between Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young, escaped from the 5th round defeat crisis with Kim Yeon-kyung and Bruna’s big success. Provided by the Korean Volleyball Federation-“I think it was the most touching victory this season.”
Heungkuk Life Insurance and KGC Ginseng Corporation’s Dodram 2020~2021 V-League Women’s Division 5th round held at Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium on the 19th.
This season’s first and fifth place in the women’s division, but the pre-game atmosphere was prevailing in the prospect that Ginseng Corporation would have a little advantage over Heungkuk Life Insurance. Because Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young admitted to school violence and were punished by their team for indefinite suspension of their business trips, the majesty of the ‘first class’ disappeared everywhere, and they suffered helpless defeats in the previous four games.
However, the results were completely different. Heungkuk Life Insurance achieved a change of atmosphere with Kim Yeon-kyung at the center, and Bruna, a new foreign player who couldn’t show his skills due to lack of training time after joining, also played a full role by scoring 30 points, the most since his V-League debut.
It was the result of winning one of the 30 regular league games, but the atmosphere was as if winning was confirmed. The players and the coaching staff were able to smile brightly after a long time.
After the game, coach Park Mi-hee introduced the valuable meaning with a trembling voice saying, “I have won and lost a lot in the past 7 years, but today’s game will be a memorable game in the future.” “A victory more memorable than winning the championship match” .
Kim Yeon-kyung’s thoughts were not very different. “It is true that the atmosphere has subsided over the recent few games. Kim Yeon-kyung, who said, “I didn’t even think that I would soon fill up the empty spot where the two players were missing and win,” said Kim Yeon-kyung. “These three points really mean more than three points. I feel so good.”
“I thought it was difficult to realistically (restore the current atmosphere quickly). Still, I thought that the more I played, the better it should be,” Kim Yeon-kyung said, “Everyone was so desperate. So I was able to win faster than I thought. I think it was the most impressive victory this season.”
After joining Heungkuk Life Insurance, Kim Yeon-kyung gave a special support to Bruna, who struggled even more because of the cluttered team atmosphere in a situation where there was not enough time to adjust.
Kim Yeon-kyung said, “In recent games, Bruna was sluggish, so I was stressed myself. So before this game (Bruna) told me to ask for help,” he said. “I feel proud that Bruna has overcome the hardship. Bruna was able to do well because many players (not just me) helped. I will do my best to help each other in the future.”
