‘Ssangpo’ Jia scored 30 points and Mega scored 25 points
Jeong Kwan-Jang of the professional volleyball women’s division defeated Heungkuk Life Insurance and advanced to the third round of the playoffs (PO, 2 wins in 3 matches).
Jeong Kwan-Jang won the second match of the ‘Dodram 2023-2024 V-League Playoffs’ with Heungkuk Life Insurance at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 24th with a set score of 3-1 (25-19 25-23 20-25 25-15).
Jeong Kwan-Jang, who lost with a set score of 1-3 in the first round of the playoffs, escaped the brink with a win that day. If they win the third round of the playoffs, which will be held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 26th, they will advance to the championship game.
Jeong Kwan-Jang, who advanced to spring volleyball for the first time in 7 years since the 2016-2017 season, challenges the ‘0%’ probability. In the past 17 times, a team that lost in the first round of the women’s playoffs has never advanced to the championship game.
Cheong Kwan-Jang’s twin guns, Zia (30 points) and Mega (25 points), showed off their firepower by scoring 55 points together, leading the team to victory.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which was only one win away from advancing to the championship game, struggled hard with Kim Yeon-kyung scoring 22 points, but support from her teammates was weak.
Moreover, he committed 20 errors and was pushed down to 1-5 in serving scores.
Gwanjang Jeong succeeded in suppressing the momentum.
Jeong Kwan-Jang, who was down 7-11 at the beginning of the first set, achieved a 15-13 comeback with three points from Jia, two points from Mega, and a quick open from Sein Kim.
Afterwards, a tie was allowed, but Mega’s back attack took the lead again and the initiative was not lost. Following Jia’s open score, Heungkuk Life Insurance’s error came in succession, and Jeong Gwan-jang was the first to reach the 20-point mark.
Riding the rising tide, Jeong Kwan-Jang ran away to 24-19 with Jia’s serve ace and Mega’s quick open, and Heungkuk Life Insurance’s Willow’s rear attack missed and took the first set.
Heungkuk Life Insurance scored 4 points in a row at 8-12 in the second set to bring the game back to square one, but Cheong Kwan-Jang’s attack power showed the upper hand. Mega ran away with 18-15 again thanks to Park Eun-jin’s open and Kim Sae-in’s quick open.
Director Jeong did not slow down his offensive. Thanks to Zia and Mega’s scores and Kim Sae-in’s open attack, they reached the set point with a 5-point lead.
Although Heungkuk Life Insurance scored 4 points in a row and was chased by 1 point, Jia blocked the opponent’s pursuit with a rear-guard attack.
The third set was a close match until the middle. Heungkuk Life Insurance used Kim Yeon-kyung, and Jeong Kwan-jang used Mega and Jia to accumulate points.
At 16-16, Heungkuk Life Insurance scored 3 points in a row thanks to Jia’s attack error and Kim Yeon-kyung’s quick opening.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which succeeded in turning the tide, recovered one set thanks to Raina’s score at the end of the third set.
However, Cheong Kwan-jang put an end to the 4th set.
Jeong Kwan Jang, who took control by scoring three points in a row at 6-4, broke down Heungkuk Life Insurance’s defense with the scoring power of Mega and Jia. The attack centered on Mega and Zia, widening the score gap to 17-10.
Gwanjang Jeong leisurely maintained the lead. After creating a match point with Jia’s 3 points and Mega’s open, Lee Seon-woo finished with an open score.
