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

Netherlands national team striker Thais Dull Horst (registered name Thais) has renewed his contract with the team, and veterans Seo Jae-deok and Shin Young-seok are also in good health. There is also Lim Seong-jin. There was no power loss.

However, KEPCO failed to show strength at the beginning of the season.

With 1 win and 6 losses in the opening 7 games, the winning point was only 3 points. His round score was only 7th with 1 win and 5 losses in the first round.

The first match of the second round, the Woori Card match on November 9, also started with a 1-3 loss to KEPCO.

Starting with the OK Financial Group match on November 14th in the second round, KEPCO changed.

Including this time, they won all 7 games. What you need to pay special attention to is the victory points.

The maximum score possible was 21 points. That means there was no 3-2 win, and the game ended 3-0 or 3-1.

KEPCO, which had been in the bottom tier, has now recorded 24 points (8 wins, 6 losses), raising its ranking to 4th place.

The point difference with 1st place Woori Card (31 points, 11 wins, 4 losses) is 7 points, and the point difference with 2nd place Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (25 points, 10 wins, 5 losses) is only 1 point.

If the current trend continues, it looks like it will go beyond 3rd place and even 1st place.

If they win against Korean Air on the 13th, they will rise to second place. All of the main players are heroes.

Lim Seong-jin, who received the first round MVP after his debut, as well as Thais and Ha Seung-woo, have improved their chemistry, and Shin Young-seok and Park Cheol-woo are veterans and are holding the center of gravity well. <a href="https://www.bacarasite.com/" target="_blank" title="바카라사이트닷컴">바카라사이트닷컴</a>

In addition, Seo Jae-deok, who was faltering in the first round, is adding strength to the team's attack by recording an attack success rate of over 50% from the second round.

And this player cannot be left out. This is Ryohei Iga (29, registered name Ryohei) from Japan in the Asia Quarter. Ryohei was a player who always did his part even during the team's losing streak.

Before coming to Korea, Ryohei had only played for Panasonic in the Japanese V. League. He attracted attention with his stable receiving, digs, and fighting that always made the court noisy. He also showed his presence in off-season practice games.

Even at the media day held before the season opened, Ryohei was on fire. In response to the question, 'Excluding our team's Asian quarter, who is the coveted Asian quarter for other teams?', he received nominations from coaches of five clubs excluding coach Kwon Young-min and Hyundai Capital coach Choi Tae-woong.

Ryohei has played in all 14 games this season and is recording a receiving efficiency of 54.18% and 2.784 digs per set.

He ranks first in receiving and second in digs and defense. He catches difficult balls easily.

Normal Korean liberos tend to lie down after receiving, but not Ryohei. After he receives the ball easily, he immediately prepares for the next play.

Beyond consistency, his records are getting better as he adapts to the league. The 1st round receiving efficiency was 54.26% - 2.913 digs per set, the 2nd round receiving efficiency was 50.55% - 2.5 digs per set, but in the 3rd round, the receiving efficiency was 64.52% - 3.333 digs per set, adding strength to the team's progress.

KEPCO ranked 5th in team receiving last season. It was only 31.66%. But this season is different. Of course, it may be due to the change in the official ball, but the receiving efficiency is exceeding the 40% range for the first time since recording 42.10% in the 2017-18 season. Ryohei was selected as the team's first Asian quarter player as a player who can bring stability to receiving, which has been considered a weakness, and he is giving a 100 out of 100 performance.

Director Kwon Young-min said, “There is room. He has the confidence that he can always catch it regardless of whether he is good or bad. “He gets along well with the players on the team,” he said.

Lim Seong-jin said, “The coach is completely entrusting defense to Ryohei. Ryohei is giving a lot of lead on the court. He once said, “He helps me a lot when I’m crazy.”

Ryohei was selected as first place in the men's K-Star Libero category in the V-League All-Star Game fan vote that ended on the 11th, and enjoyed the honor of participating in the All-Star Game in his debut season in the V-League.

Japanese Libero, who is leading the great turnaround of KEPCO, was brought in very well.
