KB Insurance's 'Preliminary PO' with copyright, excluding the main player, 'Medicine or poison'

The final regular league match between KB Insurance and copyright, which drew attention as a "previewed playoff (PO)" of men's professional volleyball, ended in a somewhat lackluster game.
The showdown between KB Insurance and copyright at Kyungmin University Gymnasium in Uijeongbu on the 18th was like the prelude to the first round of the PO scheduled for the 26th.
This is because if the PO of two wins out of three goes to the third game, the first and third games will be held at Kyungmin University Gymnasium, the home of KB Sonbo, the second-ranked team in the regular league.
The two teams will immediately face off in the first round of PO at the same place on the 26th.
In the match on the 18th, KB Sonbo coach Leonardo Afonso gave key players a break and deployed 1.5th-class players to counter copyright.
Instead of choosing a head-to-head match, they gave non-mainstream players who had not played in the game a chance to play.
KB Sonbo's foreign main gun Andres Villena (registered name Villena), Asian quarter Mohamed Yakub (registered name Yaqoob), veteran Na Kyung-bok, Hwang Taek-ui, Cha Young-seok, Park Sang-ha and Jung Min-soo all watched the game from the stands.
Instead, he operated non-mainstream players such as Sohn Joon-young, an apogee spiker in his fourth year, outside heater Yoon Seo-jin, middle blocker Koreans, setter Lee Hyun-seung, and Libero Kim Do-hoon.
As a result, Kyle Russell (registered Russell), who was recruited by copyright as a top firefighter, and Villena, the main striker of KB Sonbo, failed to face off.
"He is an international player. When I played for Korea Electric Power Corp. in the first season, I had a showdown with Villena, a former member of copyright. I look forward to an interesting showdown (in the playoffs)," Russell said regarding his failure to play against Villena.
copyright won 3-0 against KB Insurance, which was out of the starting lineup, so it can recharge its confidence and play in the first round of the PO.
It was a game against the non-mainstream game, but copyright won its first victory at Kyungmin Gymnasium, where KB Sonbo created the new word "Gyeongmin undefeated."
Earlier, KB Insurance won eight consecutive games at Kyungmin University Gymnasium, which was used as a temporary home stadium instead of Uijeongbu Gymnasium, which was unavailable due to safety problems, and recorded a 9-1 win (90% win rate) right before the final match against copyright. 먹튀검증
copyright coach Tommy Tilikainen said after winning KB Sonbo, "Regardless of the results of today's game, Kyle (Russell) played, which helped him adapt to the court."
On the other hand, manager Afonso KB Sonbo gave more meaning to the growth of non-mainstream players than to the results.
Coach Afonso said, "It was composed of players from the offseason, and like the last Woori Card match, it was a game I felt most proud of our players," adding, "I lost the game, but I think I won everything else."
He continued, "I don't think this game has anything to do with the results of the playoff game. Even in the playoffs, the first game is not connected to the second and third games. We have to consider the contents of the game one by one, and I think the results will vary depending on the progress of the game on that day."
Attention is focusing on what kind of report card KB Insurance, which earned more valuable income than the results by using copyright and non-mainstream players who shook off the "Kyungmin University Gymnasium Jinx," will receive at the PO, which starts on the 26th.
