Will there be a semi-playoff (jun PO) for the first time in the V-League women’s division? The key is held by Korea Expressway Corporation.
The schedule for the 4th round of the ‘Dodram 2022-2023 V-League’ women’s division is in full swing, and the gap between the mid-ranking teams is very tight. 1st place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (20 wins, 2 losses, 56 points) and 2nd place Heungkuk Life Insurance (17 wins, 5 losses, 51 points) formed the leading group, and the competition for the third place with the right to advance to PO is fierce. Highway Corporation is in third place with 11 wins and 10 losses and 32 points, slightly ahead of GS Caltex (10 wins and 11 losses, 31 points). IBK Industrial Bank of Korea (8 wins, 14 losses, 25 points), which is currently in 6th place, is not far behind the road construction, so it is still worth challenging ‘Spring Volleyball’. 카지노
The concern is whether or not the first semi-PO in the women’s division is successful. With the establishment of Pepper Savings Bank, a semi-PO was also created in the V-League Women’s Division, which became a system of 7 clubs from the 2021-2022 season. However, only when the gap between 3rd and 4th places is within 3 points, a semi-PO will be achieved. Last season, the gap between 3rd place GS Caltex (62 points) and 4th place KGC Ginseng Corporation (46 points) was as wide as 16 points, and in the aftermath of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the women’s regular league ended early, giving the semi-PO Let alone ‘Spring Volleyball’, even ‘Spring Volleyball’ was canceled. In the men’s division, three semi-POs were held over the past nine seasons, which were operated with a system of seven clubs.
The key to whether or not the women’s semi-PO is held is the road construction, which is currently in third place. Since the end of last year, the ups and downs are severe, such as repeating the flow of losing and winning streaks. In the away game against IBK on the 17th, they suffered a helpless set score of 0-3 defeat. Right after the complete defeat on this day, Road Corporation manager Kim Jong-min said, “It was a tough game that I didn’t even know how to solve.” There are a lot of ups and downs this season,” he said.
As for the road construction, it is necessary to break away from the pursuit of other teams and widen the gap in order to prevent the semi-PO, but at present it is unclear whether it will be able to keep the 3rd place. Above all, Park Jung-ah, the ace, needs to regain her condition. In addition, the harmonious coexistence of foreign players Catbell and domestic players is absolutely necessary.
The schedule burden ahead of the road construction is also formidable. Before the All-Star Game begins on the 29th, he has to face Heungkuk Life Insurance (21st) and Hyundai E&C (24th), who are leading the way, and then GS Caltex (27th), a direct competitor. Here, how many points the road construction wins is expected to influence the composition of the women’s ‘spring volleyball’.
