3 points in 7G opening of 'Korea Electric Power Corporation'

It's a good idea.

KEPCO, led by head coach Kwon Young-min, was pointed out as one of the strong top candidates this season.

Dutch national striker Tyce Dull Host has renewed his contract with his team, while veteran Seo Jae-deok and Shin Young-seok are also doing well. There is also Lim Sung-jin. There was no loss of power.

However, KEPCO did not gain strength early in the season. It had only three points to win one win and six losses in the opening seven games. It had one win and five losses in the first round, ranking seventh in the overall round performance. It was KEPCO that started the second round with the loss of 1-3 against Woori Card on Nov. 9.

Starting with the match against OK Financial Group on Nov. 14, the second round, KEPCO has changed. It brought victory in all seven games including this one. Especially noteworthy is the points. It brought all 21 points that could be earned. In other words, it means that there was no 3-2 win, and the game ended 3-0 or 3-1.

KEPCO, which had been at the bottom of the list, already recorded 24 points (8 wins and 6 losses) to move up to the fourth place. It is seven points different from Woori Card (31 points, 11 wins and 4 losses), and only one point difference from Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (25 points, 10 wins and 5 losses) in the second place. If the current trend continues, it is poised to surpass the third place and the first place. If it secures a victory against Korean Air on Wednesday, it will rise to the second place.

All of the main players are heroes. Including Lim Sung-jin, who received the MVP award in the first round after his debut, Tyce and Ha Seung-woo have improved teamwork, and Shin Young-seok and Park Chul-woo are keeping balance as veterans. Seo Jae-deok, who had been sluggish in the first round, has also been strengthening his team's offense by recording a success rate of more than 50 percent from the second round.

And we can't leave out this player. It is Ryohei Iga (29, registered name Ryohei) from Japan in the Asian quarter. Ryohei has always played his part even when his team lost consecutive games.

Ryohei continued his career only with Panasonic in the Japanese V-League before coming to Korea. He gained attention for his stable receptions, digs, and fighting spirit that always made the court noisy. He also showed his presence in off-season practice games.

On the media day before the opening of the season, Ryohay was also a fire. When asked who the Asian quarter is coveted by other teams except for our Asian quarter, he was picked by the coaches of five other teams, excluding Kwon Young-min and Hyundai Capital coach Choi Tae-woong.

Ryohay has played in all 14 games this season and recorded 2.784 digs per set with 54.18 percent receiving efficiency. He ranks first in receptions and second in dig-defense. He easily receives difficult balls. Ordinary Korean liberators tend to lie down after receiving them, but not Ryohay. After receiving the ball easily, he prepares for the next play right away.

The more you adapt to the league beyond consistency, the better your record is. First round receiving efficiency was 54.26%, 2.913 digs per set, second round receiving efficiency was 50.55% - 2.5 digs per set, but in the third round, you have 64.52% receiving efficiency - 3.333 digs per set, adding to the team's cruising. 스포츠토토

KEPCO ranked fifth in receptions for the team last season. It only amounted to 31.66 percent. However, this season is different. Of course, this is partly due to the change in official ball count, but it has surpassed the 40 percent level in receiving efficiency for the first time since it recorded 42.10 percent in the 2017-18 season. Hei Ryu has been selected as the team's first Asian quarter player who can bring stability to receiving, which has been considered one of its weaknesses, and he is displaying 100 points out of 100.

"I have confidence. Regardless of whether I am good or bad, I have confidence that I can always catch him. I also get along well with players in the team," manager Kwon Young-min said.

Lim Sung-jin once said, "The coach leaves the defense entirely to Ryohei. Ryohei is giving a lot of leads on the court. It helps a lot when you're out of your mind."

In the fan vote for the V-League All-Star Game, which ended on the 11th, Ryohei was selected as the No. 1 player in the men's K-Star Rivero category, and he was honored to play in the All-Star Game in his V-League debut season.

Il Rivero, who is leading the great reversal of KEPCO, has been brought very well.
